June 17, 20192slow2lateh a forest while Kyle led the way
The laid-back Marie was surprised to hear that this floating island was Kyle’s homeland
──So it seems that she didn’t know either
“Gee, if this was your home, you should have told”
It seems that she intended to watch over her exclusive servant as he visited his home, but wouldn’t this be dicey situation for Kyle?
He was bought as a slave and is now returning to his ho to introduce her to his fa “This isthat
Kyle walked ahead, but was the same as when I spotted hi his ho it at all
“No need for a present”
He see worried about Kyle, Livia consulted e about Kyle? He’s returning home, so why is he so down?”
Unlike the carefree Marie, Livia was looking closely at Kyle’s condition
“Maybe he doesn’t want to visit home for some reason?”
Unlike Marie, Livia was kind
As for Anjie──
“Is this a forest where elves live? I didn’t know there was a dungeon here, but I’m a bit excited for some reason”
──She was really tense
Meanwhile, Marie was serious
“It’ll be fineIf I can earn big here, I can get rid of my debtRather, isn’t this opportune? Then I can buy sweets fro the eveningI have to buy new clothes tooMy others ones are already shabby and worn out”
It was saddening to hear Marie’s ry at Marie, who cheated her way to beco the saint, but as she this s did she do in her previous life to deserve carrying debt while needing to pay living expenses as a saint?
Jilk and Greg walked in the back while a group of girls walked in the middle
Hertrude, who seemed troubled, walked alone
“You could have just waited”
“I can do whatever I pleaseBesides, now that we came all this way, I want to look at the historical ruins”
Shouldn’t the upper irl’s been given free rein?
We continued through a straight path in the forest
Luxon, floating near my shoulder, looked at the road
[Master, what exactly──are elves?]
“A fantasy raceAre you interested in them?]
[Elves used to not exist within my dataWhile I had been on stand by, a creature suddenly appeared, turning out to be an elfIs it not so to be curious about?]
I wasn’t really that aware of it, so I wasn’t particularly interested
[In addition, it’s also noteworthy that they cannot breed with female humansHowever, in the case of e within view
“That’s the tohere I was born and raised”
Marie was excited
“Wow~, how beautiful!”
At first glance, it seee
The buildings werehouses and the town had a sense of unity
All the villagers ere beautiful and had nice figures
Several villager-like elves wore outfits that clung to their bodies
Jilk placed his hand over his chin and began to boast about his knowledge
“Elves are basically well-favored in looks, but do not seee beauty by outward appearances like how hu had shocked faces
──It seems they didn’t know thisI wasn’t aware of it either
“Oh, is that so?”
“RightThey judge based on the ical power one holdsDue to that, they have alh everyone was interested in the elves who judged others based onabout, a slightly more detailed explanation would have been nice
I tried calling out to hi theto fulfill a sense of self-satisfaction by acting worried about et the wrong idea”
I feltred
“And I hate little brats like youWhy don’t you go find your mother and introduce Marie to her, you can even say ‘This is hed and spoke as if looking down on ht, for elves, being a slave is synony slaves, we’re treated decently, much better than you boys at the acade hiely see, so elves view it as working away from home? I understand]
Jilk added on to that explanation
“Elves seeer lifespan than hu deal for the that aside, there’s so that I’s toward slavery would be like this
Upon hearing hearing the word slave, one would assu exclusive servants, they’re treated favorably
──Indeed, the boys would be jealous
Seeing us approach the village, one of the elves in the village walked towards us
A pleasant girl with green hair and yellow eyes
Is she around the sae as us? She’s a sazes focused on her bust, which was big relative to her body
“Kyle!”
The wo to know Kyle
As the woman approached, Kyle adjusted his posture andwith Jilk
“Marie, this woman here is my motherHer name is ‘Yumeria'”
──What? His er appearance than their actual ageCould it be that Kyle is an old ht be the same as me
“Uave her greetings, Kyle’s mother, Yumeria, also beca seeing the tards each other
Kyle explained the situation to Yu uninterested
“Everyone wants to enter some historic ruins that are in this townWe need perive our greetingsWith that, please excuse us”
“Say, KyleYou’ve been away for a long tiers──”
“I cannot do that, I’m in the midst of my job”
Kyle’s attitudea little cold towards his mother
Yumeria’s expression darkened
“You don’t have to be so coldThis is the town you’ve been away fro, isn’t it?”
Kyle sneered in response to et so over-faoing to get along with the likes of you”
Greg was a bit irritated at the strangely stern Kyle
“Hey, you’re taking it too farBaltfault is our commander”
Marie also seemed to pay attention to the odd attitude her own exclusive servant was taking
“Kyle, don’t pick any fightsYou’ve been weird today for soe chief’s ho at Yumeria
Livia spoke to Yue ever since we ca sick”
However, Yumeria made a sorrowful smile
“It’s fineIt’s my faultI’m an unseemly misfit, after all”
Those words stuck to e chief’s residence was large
Upon asking about it, it seee after finishi+ng work as an exclusive servant, the village chief had received a large amount of remuneration and built the residence
He was an elf that looked like a young man with a beard, someone only in their late twenties
“You want to visit soe?”
I spoke alone with the village chief, acting as a representative of the group
Everyone else waited in a reception roohtIs it possible?”
“The ruins are a sacred place for the village, so it would be toughYou won’t be able to obtain pere chiefs would allow it”
Elven villages were scattered around the floating island
It seeether, they’re labeled as a collective
“Furthermore, the collective chief is quite stubbornThere’s no doubt that you will face opposition to enter the ruins”
“The collective chief?”
“She’s an old wo point is divinationI’ve heard that in the past, there were uests who visited the collective chief, but her power has currently weakened and there are often times where her divinations aren’t accurate either”
I don’t care about this talk of fortune-telling, but it’s a problem if we can’t enter the historical ruins
“I’h, we frequently visit the ruins and have found no treasure thereSearching for some would be fruitless”
“Huh?”
“Us elves are free to enter and exit it as we please, and there are even o there on a whih it, but contrary to everyone’s hopes, there’s no treasure to be found”
──Could this different fro about it, there was a furious pounding on the door
A fe for a reply
“Village Chief, it’s the collective chief!”
The village chief grabbed a nearby orna the iteive a look towards the village chief
However, the village chief ignoredto the wo over in a co on the door! How uest!”
The village head then walked towards the wo that, I stepped in with haste
“What are you doing?!”
The village chief swept my hand aside and turned aith a scornful look
Those eyes he had were the same as the exclusive servants’ when they face the boys within the academy
“Don’t be a nuisanceThat is important elf etiquetteIf we’re not careful, the children will learn bad mannersThat means their worth as slaves will diminish”
──It seems that I don’t fully understand the situation with elves, but this is too harsh
Seeing this doesn’t ht in front of a guest”
I did my best to put on a brave front
“Sorry about thatNow then, what’s your business?”
The wo us that the aforee
We were in a plaza at the village
The gathering elves were all beautifulthee cane for support
Her back was hunched over and it was hard to tell whether her eyes were open or closed
The old wo the sa her, transe
“I will convey the words of the collective chiefDo not enter the ruins againAt this rate, you will incur the old dee chief was at a complete loss
I assuher position, her way of speaking is different from the woman’s
“Collective Chief, what do you mean by demon lord? In the first place, aren’t the people fro the ruins too?”
The collective chiefto her words, the feain spoke
“Do you think that the collective chief knows nothing? She’s aware that you all are heavily involved with the ruinsThe collective chief is leaving a eDon’t coround of the elves”
The surrounding elves were shocked, but the collective chief and the fe near my shoulder, also seemed shocked
[A divination, is it?]
“What? Are you a non-believer of those sorts of things?”
[Could it be possible? There have certainly been people with strange abilitiesYou’re one of those people, Master]
From Luxon’s point of vieould indeed be an unscientific phenomenon since I hold memories of my previous life
There seee chief said and what the collective chief said
Perhaps the elves aren’t actually free to enter and exit as they please?
Based on what the collective chief said, nobody can get near the ruins
Further about a demon lord?”
[Are you familiar with the aameThat’s why I’m really concerned”
Could it be that the collective chief is growing senile?
She may have been a capable diviner in the past, but there are more elves who are either suspicious or completely doubtful rather than those who are at least half-convinced
The collective chief’s cold gaze shi+fted from the elves to──Marie
“Hey! This coWhatever, someone take me to the historic ruins! I absolutely must capture──”
The collective chief’s eyes widened as Marie, as frightened of debt, stepped forward
She spoke to the woe to us
She seemed surprised and shocked
“Are you a saint?”
“Oh, you could tell? Yes, I’m a saintIf you understand that, then──”
Before Marie could finish, the woman spoke
“You’re allowed to enter the ruinsThe saint brings along the old demon lordThat is the future the collective chief foresaw in recent months”
Marie tilted her head in confusion as the surrounding elves grew restless
“Demon lord? I don’t know a demon lord at all”
You’re like a final boss to uess
Or rather, it seeone senile and lost her touch with divinations
Marie isn’t a real saint, Livia is
──The de
I turned towards Luxon as it stated its own opinion
[Could this be about Julian? He’s royalty and the descendants of the new hu able to operate the workings of ic, it’s possible that he could adopt the title of a de, but Julian’s not here, you know?”
[I’ that the collective chief’s divination is true, there’s a possibility that it’s tied to Julian]
That guy isn’t a king yet thoughAt this rate, he will becoain due to Marie’s work, and will probably be king in the future, but──that guy being a demon lord? He’d be a miserable demon lord that even I could beat up
The woman spoke to the people around on behalf of the collective chief
“The tiement has comeWill this island sink, or will it remain? These people will not be allowed to interfereThe collective chief says for everyone to sit still and wait for the appointed time”
With that, the collective chief and the other elf left the village
While watching their figures, I spoke to Luxon
“Does this mean we have permission to enter the ruins?”
[It saves a load of troubleIt seems on’t have to force our way in or invade]
