Elf Nation Shelter - A shelter made from giant trees.
Archette, who had been instructed to flee, came to this shelter without hesitation.
It's the safest place around here.
It can hold up to tens of thousands of people.
The strength of the dragon's body didn't scare me.
It is a magical tree that is also resistant to magic, so you don't have to worry about defense.
Even if it was discovered by the beast, I might be able to surpass it.
Besides, there must be some elves who managed to evacuate.
Archetti opened the shelter with a special magic that could only be used by some elves.
"Hey, princess! Were you safe?!"
"Are you all right!? Princess!"
Is the battle over now?!
I opened it.
The people who managed to escape will greet you.
Are you relieved to see Arche, or do you realize the end of the battle?
The elves came in as if they were an avalanche.
Looks like the Elves here are safe.
Archette was relieved to see how it was going.
Calm your mind and start talking.
“Don't worry, we're safe. Were you all right?”
“Yes! We're fine! Thanks to him, I was able to evacuate safely!"
That one?
Archetti gave a stunned look at the unexpected answer.
Who is he?
Archette glanced around.
And so.
Obviously, the two eyes were surrounded by a crying child.
I'm not from the same Elf tribe.
But I'm definitely not the enemy.
It took almost no time to find out who he was.
Richt-san! Did you come to Richt-san?!
"Oh, princess."
Licht.
Of all the things Archetti has been involved with, it's an unforgettable one.
I should have been the first to hear from Sifir when he attacked, but I didn't think he'd arrived yet.
It's fast enough to think I knew it beforehand.
"I'm sorry, princess. I thought I'd go to the assistant, but I saw the evacuated elves--"
"No, thank you!" It would be dangerous if they were the only ones..... "
Archette stops in a hurry to apologize.
On the contrary, Archette wanted to bow her head.
The evacuated elves are burned because Licht seems to be here.
As for the light blue-haired girl next door, she was still calming the crying child.
"I'm scared, onee-chan..."
"All right, all right. You can't let a boy cry."
Feiris, should we change?
"It's okay, Mr. Licht." I'll take care of it. "
Light blue-haired girl - Feiris gently strokes the child's head.
I could tell that she was working hard, although she was unwieldy.
I wonder if my child knows that, but he stopped crying at some point.
It was a difficult situation outside, but I felt a little cheerful when I looked at this sight.
"Thank you, Ferris. Thank you."
"No, now is the time to cooperate." We and the Elves. "
Feiris-san... thank you from me, too.
A word of gratitude came out of Arche's mouth.
I've never met Feiris, but I can trust her from the bottom of my heart.
It's not because I'm one of Richt's people.
I was struck by her honest behavior.
Richt-san, is this the princess?
"Yes, I do. Don't be rude."
"I was listening to the story." I'm actually here to join the fight, but are the enemies going to be okay? ”
"Oh, that's right!" Iris and Tise are stopping me now...! "We have to get to the rescue quickly!"
Archetti told me what was going on.
The two looked at each other without changing their faces too much.
"If Iris and Tise are around, they'll be fine."
Yeah. I'm glad you made it.
It's no exaggeration to say that their mouths are too long.
It's like a reaction to saying there's nothing wrong with it.
This reaction is unlikely, even though my people are pinching.
I wonder if they trusted Ellis and Tise so much.
Archette asks again.
"... eh. Do I have to go to the rescue...?"
"With those two there's no problem." Don't worry about it. "
"It's hard to think of those two losing."
Licht opened his mouth.
Is there any other place where the Elves are evacuated?
"No, no... it's supposed to be just here."
"That means a lot of people aren't here..."
When Richt heard that, he suddenly turned into a serious expression.
Something doesn't seem right.
Is there anything inconvenient for Licht?
Or are you simply worried about the Elves?
Archette waits for Licht's next words.
How many Elves have died?
”Oh, that's... I don't know exactly, but at least a third or more.”
"One-third... I think we should go soon."
"Huh? Mr. Licht, calm down." The Demon King hasn't given you any instructions yet. "
Reacting to Licht's words, Feiris reacted first.
There are certainly more deaths than expected, but there are no instructions from Aria for the two of them to act.
If we're going to revive, it's because of the Aria sign.
If you act on your own, you will have disobeyed Aria's orders.
It was only natural that Feiris should stop Licht.
"... but there are too many dead." If the number of dead is too long, there may be an omission. "
Is it possible that there are some elves that can't be revived?
"Oh, I've never revived so many tens of thousands of people before..."
Feiris understands Licht's words and thinks.
I understand what Licht is trying to say.
There's nothing wrong with a small resuscitation, but it seems like something could go wrong with a large resuscitation so far.
In other words, we need to get to the battlefield as soon as possible.
Even if it means disobeying Aria's orders.
“Ferris, I think we're responsible for what's happening.”
Um, yeah.
"That's why you have to come with me."
"I-I see..."
Words of approval came out of Feiris' mouth.
Licht grabbed her shoulder, and Feiris finally accepted.
My face is a little hot.
I had never been persuaded by Licht at such a distance.
I can hear my heart moving.
I couldn't say no to Feiris very much.
Thank you, Ferris.
"It's an emergency... so I can't help it."
"So, princess. We'll go to the country."
"I understand." what should I do..... "
"Please stay here with the princess." We need someone to put everyone together. ”
The role assigned by Licht calmly.
Putting these elves together is a task that only Archetti can do.
At the same time, it is an absolute necessity.
There is not a single element that bothers me.
Well then, let's go, so we don't get separated.
Yeah.
I wish you good luck!
We need to get to Iris and Tissa.
Archette turned away in a prayerful way.
