Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki

Episode III: To the Village of Firefox

"We tried to intercept the Empire outside the village but fled back to the village in great defeat. The reason we lost, as Cyril guessed, was because of the thorough bow outrage attack and the magic using the wind's demon stone that we couldn't get the flames."

Cu said as he distorted his expression.

There was grief, and anger.

"I realized that my father, who led and fought the village warriors, could not win no matter how much he raised. And I decided to let the kids get away with not being able to fight women and buy time for what they could fight."

That is why the Qu and the fifty fire foxes have fled to Elsier.

If we had resisted to the last one who could fight here, the Firefox would have killed all the men and the woman would have been grabbed and made a tool for mass producing demonic stones.

"My father thought. If we make one way to escape, the race Firefox will be extinguished when it fails. So, at least, we have to break up second-hand. For once, it seemed like the idea was that it would be easier for people to accept it if they were smaller."

"Again. That's what I would do if I were in the fire fox position."

It's not easy to escape from the empire, and I don't even know if the escaped destination is on my side. It is too risky to entrust the light and darkness of a race to one village somewhere.

"At my father's behest, the fugitives became two groups, the first, a group that solidified only women who could travel, the second, in addition to women who were as physically fit as the first, decided to take the minimum required adult escorts, and boys who were too young to fight. The second group takes most of the village's money, and there's a lot more food than we do."

"The second set is a much more generous group."

"Yeah, just to be clear, we headed for Elsier. We were just insurance, and I guess my father was going to entrust the future of the Firefox Clan to the second group. Some of the men's escorts are my brother."

To say Ku's brother is the original next chief. Besides, it's not just women, it's even men, albeit children.

The second pair can leave offspring only with fire foxes who fled unlike the coos who have to mix with other races.

"I see, did the Firefoxes led by Ku's brother rely on the village opposite Elsier"

"Yes, we have some friendship there, and..."

So Qu clouds his words.

"Worst of all, I can even make you hear what I say by force"

"You know that much. Exactly. Even if you can't beat the Empire, Firefox is strong. If you have a certain number, you can sue them for force."

The magic of fire is strong enough to do that.

One of the things I feared most when Loreu and Ku were arguing was that the self-inflicted Firefoxes would storm out.

If the rampage starts at that distance, there could be a lot of damage.

Still, if you are an elf good at wind magic, you can fight it if you calm down, but not any other species, there are only a limited number of species that can stop the fire fox who went out to exercise their strength.

Easy, the Firefoxes will be able to rule the village.

Most likely, the inhabitants who lived in the village because of it will go to the Empire to call for help.

"Force is the last resort. But I didn't like it."

"Is that why Ku came this way? Given his position, I thought he was supposed to be on the other side of the stone."

"My father did that to me, but I said no. I don't want to live until I hurt someone without sin, and all the fire foxes on this side are just kids who need someone to pull. You may be complacent, but I don't think you could even reach Elsier without me."

Ku is right, the faces of the Firefox are devoid of decisive people.

The leader's qualities were not seen except for the cu, who would have died somewhere without him.

"Ku is sweet."

"It's not. I'm just cowardly. When you say no, reluctance to sacrifice someone is disqualification as a chief. And I wanted to see Cyril and Lucier."

Qu shows a tired grin.

"Because it was such a ku, I could see Ku. I'll thank you for that. In the first place, how did you know this village would be insured? The Firefoxes aren't supposed to know this village escaped the reign of the Empire, are they? Normally I don't even make you a second candidate."

"It's easy. At the first battle, we fled, but we captured a few soldiers. So I got the information. He failed Elsier's attack and said the Firefox Village offense could never fail. I just didn't even know I could beat a big army like 500 men."

"That's an easy reason, if you ask me."

I can trust information from humans on the Imperial side that I have taken prisoner.

If you can beat the Empire by bending over, you won't be forced to assume that it will be insured.

It's just that the Empire will never give up more than the Firefox and the Elf will live in solidification. There, I also know you're afraid to put your fate down.

"Is this the end of what you want to hear?

"There's more."

I'll just be a little while. This could be a hard choice for Ku.

"I'm going to see the Firefox Village tomorrow. That's about 70 kilometers. If I make full use of magic, it won't take two hours.

The purpose is to make sure that the village of Firefox is not the stronghold of the Empire. If it's their relay point, the attack on Elsier gets harsh. The other is salt. I got mining rights because of you. I want to bring it back as much as I can before it snows "

The moment I say I'm going to the village of Firefox, Kuw's fist trembles.

"I can take care of it if I'm alone. I'm glad Ku is here to guide you.

But that's not mandatory. How do you know where to dig rock salt if you could just write a map?

It will, and I just need to know what's going on in the village.

I know that and I dare ask. Ku, are you coming with me? I personally would not recommend it. A village ravaged by an empire is nothing. I'm just gonna get hurt by mischief. "

"Then why did you ask me?

"That's what Qu wants you to think"

I wouldn't dare say why.

If you want to put it into words, it's the chief's responsibility.

Time is running out, I won't rush Qu.

After about a minute, Ku slowly opened his mouth.

"Please take me too"

I snorted silently at the words.

Ku and I return to the workshop that became the residence of the Firefox.

Then a young firefox girl rushed over.

"Sister Ku, good job on your work. This is for Sister Ku. Eat."

And I'm going to offer you soup poured all over the cup. It has a lot more meat in it than any other cup.

That's something different from Ku's, which has cooled down.

The hungry fire foxes came flocking to the pot, forgetting me the moment I told them I had a replacement.

Still, I have a decent replacement for the cu.

This kind of thing can be done is proof that Qu is loved. I can't get such a whisper of compassion just because I'm a chief.

Everyone in Firefox knows and acknowledges Ku's previous hard work.

Same, I just got a little flattered as being in a position to lead people.

"Thanks. Chemin"

Kuw zeroes his tears and hugs the young Firefox girl.

For her, I guess the moment I was recognized, I couldn't contain my emotions.

Kew, who said he wouldn't show weakness in front of the Firefoxes.

But these tears are not weakness. It's a joy to be put in there.

So you don't have to hide these tears.

I decided this place was all right and went back to the village once.

We need to follow up on the acceptance of the Firefox to everyone in the village in a manner close to arbitrariness.

Especially around Loreu.

It's a pain in the ass, but this is my job as head, too.

Before dawn the next day, me and Kuw left Elsier.

I chose this time because I want to go back before everyone wakes up because without Ku, the Firefoxes will have less than their hearts.

On my back, I carry a backpack with my own high-capacity hip belt.

Hip belts make it considerably easier because they distribute the weight applied to your body. Being a backpack with a large capacity of seventy litres and the type that weighs only on the shoulders, it becomes like a torture instrument.

And I have a princess holding a coo in both arms.

It's honestly tough to snuggle the body of a meaty, feminine coo better than Lucier.

"Um, Cyril, I've been softening since just now, what's wrong?

"It's nothing. Just think the coo smells good."

"I'm embarrassed to hear you say that."

It's a very pitiful story, but because I live with Lucier, I can't even handle it satisfactorily, so I'm pretty accumulated.

Because of that, Lucier occasionally comforts herself in the middle of the night as she pushes and kills the assumption that I'm asleep next door.

As I wake up part of my consciousness to be vigilant around me, I just notice the gasp I pushed to death and the unique sound.

That, too, sucks at reason because it's what you call my name in a whisper once in a while.

I can't even make Lucier stop because if I tell her to stop because she's noticed, she probably won't talk to me for a week or so.

My God, Lucier's been asking me out lately, so much so that he's caught up with me that he thinks it's more rude not to get his hands on me.

"Well, shall we go? Hold on tight because it's dangerous."

"Okay, Cyril."

Ku turns his hand behind my neck and hugs me all the time.

Let's calm down. It's okay. Ku is just a friend.

"Wind."

Collect short, mouth-watering mana.

And strengthen your physical abilities with magic and kick the ground with all your might, while at the same time putting your raised body on the wind.

Fast travel for my specialty.

Plus, this time jump on a tree and pick a thick branch to land on.

From there, furthermore, to the next tree, we fly more and more.

This way, the deep forest can also be pushed through in the shortest path.

"Cyril, wow. Fast, fly, I've never seen anything like it. Elsier is so far away already"

I have a quail in my arm.

But the voice was a little overwhelmed.

Negative emotions that cannot be hidden at every end of the word are hidden. The truth is, I guess it's full of feelings of anxiety about the village of Firefox. I pretend bright to hide it.

I smiled, pretending not to notice it.

"All right, I'll give you more speed. I'd love to make it to breakfast time if I could. Lucier is preparing us a delicious breakfast. That said, it's steamed potatoes served at dinner."

"Nice. The potatoes that went out to dinner yesterday were delicious."

"When you get back, be prepared to dig all the potatoes that you haven't even harvested with all the Firefoxes."

"Yes, gladly! If you don't work, the Firefox won't be able to eat at will, and you're welcome."

In fact, it's hard to say where you live.

I'm worried about the gaze around me when I'm in the position of just eating dinner.

"You don't have to worry, there's more and more work to do. Elves do their best to look after wheat.

I'm going to buy about a hundred goats and leave all that care to the Firefox, and I guess cultivating the potatoes that went out to dinner yesterday is what the Firefox does.

In addition, within two months, about 1000 pieces of earthenware containing 50 kg of water will be cooked and collected. And then there's the liquor business. "

Other than potatoes, being an elf is a tough job, and if you can do it, you'll earn trust all at once.

Elsier enriches, and the Firefoxes find their place in the true sense.

Such a future is certainly not far away.

"I'll do my best. Even in exchange for this life, I will try to do it."

"It's nice of you to put me in the mood, but I want to adjust to a workload that's good enough that I don't have to, so I guess I'd like you to be honest with me when I get tough. If it's a short-term job, cover it with guts and maybe we can figure it out. But it's a job that's going to last forever. If you work hard, it won't last long until you can do it normally."

"Cyril thinks about us."

Says as Ku only slightly strengthens his ability to hold me.

"Of course, he's one of Elsier's people."

"Me, I'm glad to be here. With Cyril, I'm sure Elsier will grow bigger and win the Empire one day, I think so."

"I've been meaning to do that since the beginning."

That's what I've made up my mind since I named myself Elsier.

If you don't, it's much quicker and safer to just dump the village and pioneer some land into a new village.

While we're at it, we'll be in the village of Firefox.

I lost my voice to a situation a few steps worse than I expected.
