I grab the hand that tried to capture Lana. Brown skin.
Again, it was a dark elf.
Seems like Lana was after someone who was moving suspiciously out of contact with people.
Princess Elf's position as a sister is quite difficult.
"Are you all right?
Ask Lana, who is bluffing.
I hacked back into my words. Lana snorts as she deceives.
"Yes. Thanks......"
"Oh. Seems easy to target, so work it out"
If you tell Lana that, a dark elf man will pierce you with an empty one. Stab me in the chest.
The unpleasant sound of a broken bone sounds.
The whimpering voice leaked out of the dark elf.
"Guh......! Why...!
It was a man's hand that broke.
If you look from him, you've poked a gap, but there's no way you're alarmed by the extent of the conversation.
"It's quite malicious of you to come to the bargaining stage."
"Whoa, I'm alone... it has nothing to do with the Dark Elf race!
"Don't argue with me around there. You give it to Sille."
"... you... et al?
A man moves.
A pigeon ate a bean cannon, that's the face.
You're not the only one.
"Yes, no, it's just me! Nobody comes......!
"Four of us. Five, including you."
"……………………………………………………………………………"
The werewolf man was the first to suspect.
Should I answer that there are snitches like this? There was a method in the Guild's book of creating suspicious ghosts and lightening their mouths among their peers.
Laugh suspiciously for now,
I don't know.
I'll answer that.
The man's face turned bright blue.
All right. Looks like you're getting better at acting.
From day to day I could see the achievements that I had been working out my facial arts. It seemed scattered in the Stilbeats kingdom, but this would have made it somewhat better.
"Damn... there's no way those guys would betray... there's no way they would betray...! There's no way I would betray you...!
A man is telling himself. Apparently, trust is shaking.
Well, nobody's betraying you.
I was just chasing him because of detective magic and suspicious signs that strange magic was moving, and I'm just catching all four of the other guys first.
So it was a mistake to disperse Lana's kidnapping to increase her success rate.
"For once, I'll tell you. If you confess, your sins will be lightened, and if you tell me anything about the dark elves, I promise you your identity here."
When I say it, the dark elf guy gets confused.
Apparently I'm lost. Loyalty and self-reliance.
- This is funny.
I've never had a chance to do anything like bargaining or diplomacy before, but it's also fun not to beat each other up and fight.
Negotiation itself is in battle, but it wasn't just words, it was all about making mistakes and guiding gaze.
"Oh, you know. Mr. Zied... that, to the elves..."
Lana gives me anxious eyes.
I can somehow find out the rest. It would be about what I said about 'lighter sins' and 'guarantees of identity'. I don't know if that stuff is in the elves.
I guess there's nothing like that to see Lana's attitude.
Maybe they've never even spoken in the first place.
But...
"It's okay."
……
I laugh at Lana.
He has all sorts of sins. That you entered the Elf Territory without permission, that you tried to capture Lana, and that you tried to pierce me.
I didn't say a word that it was' any sin '.
What's more, which identity is' this one '?
In the first place, I didn't say that.... Oh, my God.
It was just every day of battle, but I didn't know I could spin my head like this with just one word.
It's still interesting. Let's do it when we get a chance.
"Oh, I want you to guarantee my family's identity too...!
"... okay"
Apparently it cracks my mouth.
Well, Sille wouldn't treat the one who takes my side badly either.
For one thing, I took him under Sille.

corner inside the elf.
Two large trees are keeping one small tree away from the sun so that it forms a top.
Going down the cracked trunk of that little tree, there is an elf dungeon.
"The hearing is over"
Sille came out of the inside.
I think I've finished listening to the dark elves I've captured.
"Oh, how'd it go?
"Thanks to Mr. Jeed for throwing up all washed up. They're Dark Elves of the Daptoes, and they're ordered to come and get Lana."
I knew it, but the goal was the advantage of negotiation.
It's a cheap idea, but that's all that works straight, too.
"What are you going to do?
"... actually, the dark elf side seems pretty weak too"
"Oh, I guess so"
"Did he know?
"The Dark Elf land had too many demons. Besides that, the poor location of the talks. Perhaps the residence is quite rough. I guess it's good to get out of the tree, but I couldn't deal with the demons."
"... just fine. Exactly."
Sille nods without a minute to disagree with my predictions.
"He said he was in a state where he couldn't pretend anymore, and thus turned his hand to the elf. This is not the case if the elves are weak."
"A war?
".................. Yes"
Sille nods like he makes a bitter decision.
It is also true that no progress has been made where we have been questioning the dapt as it is. Then I guess it's a decision I'd rather take the lead than go around the back.
Not bad, but there will definitely be victims.
It should have been an option I don't really want to take for Sille.
But one elf came rushing to overturn such a Sille decision.
"Mr. Opti of Dark Elves is here. To tell her that the troops that will capture Master Lana are moving!
Now.
He must have come to capture the movement of the dapt and report it.
Should I receive this favourably?
Sirle says.
"Where is Mr. Opti now?
"I'm having you waiting at the stop. There are only a few escorts."
Needless to say, this one will be held hostage? I'm asking.
But Sille didn't give any instructions, and he made his own decision to go out.
"... I'll go"
◆
"I'm sorry. Is Lana safe?!?"
Opti's opening was the best part.
In the meantime, Sille shows a calm response.
"Yes, Mr. Zied has already captured five dark elves"
"Really? Good...... I'm really sorry about this one. By the time I grabbed the Dapto move, it was already moving, so I was late to deal with it."
I had to assume this would happen, too, he added.
You want to avoid a war even as an opti who is a moderate.
But it's synonymous with coming to Elf territory and more problems than actual harm has gone out.
More than willing to apologize to the other person, the place of responsibility is questioned here.
"What are you going to do about this? We at the Elves wanted to discuss and try to settle."
"It's a very frightening favor, but I told Dapt on my side and set up a place for discussion. Could you please talk to me there...!
"Am I going out? On this one?
"... that's all I or Eitos asked for from Dapt. And this time, we want Master Jeed to take his seat off."
It's a lot to ask for.
Despite the fact that this time the non- is on the dark elf side.
"You want me to go out of my way and go where the trap might be?
That's right, Sille says chilly, too.
More importantly, it's supposed to be a scene where you should come to apologize with a dapt's neck.
Is it because it is the dapt that brings the extremists together that is still holding hands? Dark Elves today are so vulnerable that they fly away in one breath if they don't join hands, he said.
"This is all I have..."
Opti also says with a low head.
It's not very good for Sille to go here.
Obviously licked.
Even if it's not a trap, I don't even think Dark Elves can keep the dapt under control.
But the choice here belongs to Sille. It's not for me to decide.
And from the thought of Sille...
"- Okay. Let's go."
With as little sacrifice as possible, take the choice to settle in discussion.
Opti stunned and lowered his head to the limit.
"... excuse me! Thanks!
"subject to conditions"
"Conditions?"
"Mr. Zied will take you. I wouldn't make any kind of trap a problem with him."
You're getting a lot of credit for that.
No, I appreciate it, but I have trouble being trusted to let go.
I also agree with Opti on that point.
"In case Dapt is setting a trap, I'll make sure this one is complete... right. You should stay with Lady Zide."
"And that's the last of the talks."
……――
Final announcement.
This means that Opti and Eitos have to make as much compromise as possible on Dapt.
There is only peace or war at the end of the future.
"Okay."
Opti nodded with considerable determination, too.
Then Sille prepares for a variety of things. He tells a nearby elf something about when he can't go back, or when Sille is gone.
Well, I guess it's a decision I'm quite prepared to make as a sille.
And we headed to Dark Elf territory again.
