A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

"Well... where did I start?"

We entered the village of Elves and came to the largest of them. When I entered, I thought it was a small village, but when I looked closely, I realized that there were many houses in the back and it was a village of quite a size.

And right now, I'm sitting down with three of you, Mr. Bell. Other Warlock guards are outside, and by the way, Noah is working with other Elves to help rebuild the border.

By the way, I've already introduced myself. His name is Lester. He is over 200 years old and seems to be one of the oldest elves. But I can't see its appearance decaying at all. If you convert it to a human, it looks like you're in your 40s. This is the elf... and I remembered it at the same time. About the village of Auga. Not all demons are hostile to humanity. The word was correct. Elves are also not clearly hostile to humanity. It was obvious from the response to us.

"Excuse me, are you still alive after the Man-Man Wars?

"No, human... life expectancy is as long as 80 years. And... because of this dusk, the premature mortality rate is... high. Nothing I've ever experienced in humans... anymore."

That's what Bell replies. For the record, Mr. Bell talked more clearly than before. I don't get the impression that it was the first time. This is the most important proof that we are able to respond firmly to the first person we meet.

"Really... no, I've heard a lot about people who used to take care of me... Now, for the record, how did you discover this village?

"There was... something magical in my squad, so I unlocked it..."

"Did you think you could perceive this union?

"Yes... but only one person could perceive it..."

"I thought this juncture was something that no Magus could perceive. This is the end of all our technology. Of course it is strong, but above all it focuses on secrecy. I haven't been told by any other demons for nearly a hundred years, but I don't know how to expose them in this way... no, they must be famous people."

"... thank you."

It's hard to say that a 10-year-old has released it. In the meantime, Mr. Bell looked down and kept talking.

"We humans... are now... launching Operation Twilight..."

"Oh dear, is this a twilight attack..."

"If you like, you know something... if you have information... I'll get you a reward..."

"Twilight? … What exactly is it to us… I've been through the Human Magic War 150 years ago. At that time, I was neutral, but other demons attacked me and fought. Suddenly, the world was dominated by dusk. That was definitely... in the morning. When I wake up, I don't have the usual blue sky. Looking up, a red and black light is pouring down from the sky. Ever since then, there's been dusk... that's all I know."

"Really... thank you for telling me."

Twilight. A phenomenon unknown to anyone who has experienced Man-Man Wars. Why the world was covered in dusk in the first place… It's still a mystery, but we're here to get over it. It is not yet time to despair, though we did not get any information. Conversely, it should be good just to paradoxically realize that no one can understand this phenomenon.

"So, you've been living here forever?

That's what I asked Senpai Eira.

"Yes... we can only use magic. They didn't have as much combat power as the rest of the race, so they had to hide...."

More than a hundred years?

"Yes, we have lived in this village alone. Don't let other species find you....."

"I see...."

That said, senpai takes his hand to his mouth and starts thinking about something.

"We've been living in this place for a long time... and it's the same as being tied up. All the elves in this village will think so. This old situation must be broken... I know that humans have stood up to dusk for the last 150 years. And I've failed so far... That's why you're so happy this time?

"That's right... Though we've come to terms with it... it's still stable inside... my consciousness was always on the right track... but I think it's time for me to get up now... the human is back on his feet..."

"Really... no, this is destiny too. Would you be so kind as to help us?

"I will try to contact my superiors....."

Then it was a short while ago. An agreement was made between the elves and the humans to fight together. In the future, it may be possible to create a residential area for elves in the border cities. Instead, Elves teaches advanced magic techniques. He, they're famous for their magic. Although combat power does not extend to humans, the technology is also useful to humans.

That's why we stayed in this village this day. Apparently there was still an empty house, so I could sleep there. I didn't have to go to bed, so I was out looking at the stars this evening.

"It's beautiful....."

I like the starry sky. The only thing that has remained unchanged in this twilight. And I can understand how small I am when I look ahead at this star. I'm both a human and a magician, but I don't think I'm special. It's just one life form in this world. In polarization, life is no different from other creatures.

And as usual, I looked up at the starry sky and heard a sound from the back.

……

I wonder what. That's how I hear the water as I walk. [M] Whether it's flowing in the river or not, the sound gradually gets louder and louder. As I proceeded through the bushes, there was... a woman who was illuminated by the light of the stars. Although naked, I was more attracted to its pure beauty. Its glossy appearance, like a finished piece of art, took my eye off.

"Eh...."

"Ah...."

At the moment, your gaze crosses. Yes, it must be an elf woman in this village. When you look at me, not only my face, but my whole body is dyed with vermilion.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

"Ohh, I'm so sorry!!

Well, you sat down on the spot. Yeah....

"I'm so sorry...."

"Ah, no... hey, I was a little embarrassed... but, um, please, raise your face!

That's how I looked up. I have already worn clothes and my hair has dried by magic. It has already dried. She says it is customary to bathe in this place away from the village.

I came to peek at it normally (though not surprisingly...) I'm just a pervert. I was a pervert. But fortunately, she was as kind as a saint. He didn't give me any punishment despite my peeking. [M]

And being illuminated by the moonlight, it was still... beautiful. A tall nose that slips through your big eyes. In addition, the lips are not too thick, too thin, and maintain a perfect balance. And not only that part, but the whole body is proportioned. Also noteworthy would be his thin green hair and long ears.

I realize once again that this is an elf.

"Well, I'm Ariel."

"My name is Julia. This is Julia Curtis."

Ariel asks me to shake hands, so I reach out again. This is how I met Ariel, an elf girl.
