Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki
Epilogue: Vows
Running with Lucier and Qu, but his vision is distorted, his body trembles unstoppable.
By then, the side effects of [circular regression] have been painful.
As it is......
"I'm sorry. Limit. After me, please."
I squeeze my last force, off the sidewalk, and grace them both gently.
Then, fluttering, stepping on the buckwheat, it leads to the thick Caede tree and falls as-is.
"Cyril!"
"Cyril!
They rush over in a hurry. You're calling my name, but I feel that voice far away.
Consciousness falls.
Quite a bit. I earned my distance. It would be about 50 km from here to Elsier. There is also a low chance of encountering an Imperial soldier. Worst of all, the distance Lucier and Ku alone can go home.
"One night, hide, so, if I don't wake up, you two, run."
I just put that in my mouth, and my consciousness was swallowed up in the dark.
◇
in a room with nothing white. My usual mind world.
I realize I'm in a dream.
But it's strangely cold. By concentrating on consciousness and thinking of who you are, you materialize and hold your body.
"What is this?"
Tremble. It's not only cold, it's oddly tiring.
There are also side effects of [circular regression], but that is not all.
"Hey, I see you again."
There was nothing but me and [me] in the white room.
A still young girl with dark hair.
She has a pranky grin.
"No, I'm surprised. Same goes for being killed, but more after that. I'm so surprised you ate me all. They ate me and my presence became a part of you. If that happens to me, I won't be able to come back to life. I'm really surprised there's someone in this world who can kill me."
"Why are you conscious?
"You say weird things. Because you swallowed the whole thing without chewing. If you're a normal person, you won't be digested anymore, but I'm strong."
The grin of a dark-haired girl deepens.
"That's about as much as eating you."
Your general tiredness is stronger. Distorted vision. Disgusting. What is this?
"You and I are one soul now. Then a strong personality, the will to emerge from it, is determined to take the lead, isn't it? Besides, when I could eat, I used secret techniques to protect my mind so that it was easy to take the lead. I mean, I'm dead, but from now on, I'll live as you. I'll have enough body, knowledge, and everything to kill me. This is going to make more money."
Desperately connect the collapsing consciousness. If you let go of consciousness here, I'll never get back to Cyril again. I don't like it. I want to live as Cyril and be with Lucier.
"If you resent me, disappear resenting a tough soul like me and yourself invited to have a vibrant personality, goodbye"
Girl's declaration of victory.
But...
"hahahahahaha"
"Secret tricks with that degree of shallow wisdom."
"Tough soul? The soul of that cheap crop?
"Vivid personality? Whoa, you gotta be kidding me!? No such belief, no passion, no emptiness in your being, oh too much laughter and stomachache '
Many mockeries echo unwilling to hide from all directions of the room.
My temperature returned and my tiredness disappeared.
"What, this, this is crazy, I'm, like, gone, I'm on the take side. It has always been. I'll always be, and yet, no, not like this."
The girl panicked, like a poorly done dance, moving to look for something on the sidelines.
"Bye."
Suddenly, if you think you've got a big black hole at the girl's feet, from there, a big, that's when a dog the size of a lion showed up with a big mouth open. Swallow the girl's body in one bite.
"Wow."
Dogs don't chew. The girl's body is being swallowed up more and more just with a big mouth open.
"I don't like it, I don't want to disappear! I don't want to die! I haven't heard anything like this. Impossible. How could you, to one soul, both of you! No, how many? That's not true, either, but you're alone in the end? Then how can there be such a person?"
"There he is. - That's it. Yeah, it's well made for the toy that made it. Inherent magic is a much, uh, surprisingly simple mechanism. To this extent, it can be reproduced generically, but the idea is interesting. I didn't expect you to come here and discover something new, but it's not good. The flavour is thin. What an uninteresting soul '
"Help me, I'll do anything, anything"
'I don't like it. It's disgusting. You can't stand someone else being in my room.'
the word. Finally, the girl was completely swallowed and disappeared. The dog jumps out of the hole and exposes his entire body.
Beautiful black fur. If you look closely, your face is sharp, your fangs are sharp, and you feel more like a wolf than a dog.
However, it is troubling whether it is possible to refer to a creature as a wolf, which is 3 m long.
The black wolf began to pepper and mend his hair.
I don't know who I am. At least five of me are kept from remembering by [me]. Perhaps the appearance of one of them.
'Hey me, long time no see. You seem to be doing well. "
With all the memories, the [me] of the collective consciousness calls out in a friendly voice.
"Except you look a lot more human than you did when we met."
'Cause I'm getting emotions coming out of you. I've been remembering more and more about humanity ever since you perceived me. I can't do it right now, I'm emulating a decent human being.'
It didn't seem like he was saying that the voice was like a normal human being and rubbed off.
"Thank you. Thank you."
'Well, it's nothing else for me. Cyril's personality is excellent as entertainment, so I didn't want her to break much. You have to be careful. Deet's [soul-eater] collects broken remnants, but Glamdeer's [predation] is bad for digestion because it devours everything'
Because of me being nothing else, I didn't understand whether that was referring to Cyril or [me].
"I know. 'Cause that's what I'm not."
'That's not what I meant. Gramdir had a tough will and personality, and no matter what opponent he ate, his existence never wavered. You didn't even realize [predation] was dangerous.'
Yeah, that's why I [preyed] for nothing. After a little thought, I knew the risk, but I thought it was safe with nothing in Gramdir's memory to show the danger.
I'm sorry you're weak.
'But that's where it's strange. Cyril's will is weak, he is low in character as being, yet how can he remain so cyrillic?'
"I guess [I] just gave you memory and experience, so that you don't flatter your personality, did I?
'That's right. But you don't have to put your hands on personality. Memory and experience destroy personality. For example, your food preference is closer to the Japanese on Earth, not the Cyrillic one on the elf. I no longer hesitate to kill people, for example. For example, it's easy to favor a girl who works hard. This is all a changed part, gaining memories and experience.'
I lost my word. Sure, if you ask me, I'm changing.
'But. That's about it. The fundamental part remains cyrillic wherever you go. There are exceptions, but if I regain my memory and experience, I will be distorted, crushed, and [my] artifact or broken by its overwhelming quantity and quality. That's how [I] get on the surface.'
In a heartfelt wonder, [me], who turned out to be a black wolf, stares at me with crushed eyes and asks.
"If you have an overwhelming character like Gramdir or Sugina, you can tell. Even Mursh and creatures like Soara whose spiritual ways are far from people are convinced. But, you know, Cyril's the only one I don't know. Can you tell me, please?
The answer to that question, it was quickly found.
"I want to be with Lucier and Ku, I like you both. I'm not [me] like that. So I won't be [me]"
The black wolf who hears that, proper, then opens his mouth and laughs.
It's like a howl.
'No way, I didn't know such a trivial thing was protecting me. Thank you. It was worth the help. Well, at best entertain [me]'
At the foot of the black wolf, the same big hole as the one made at the girl's foot is sucked in well again.
'If you're going to give me a warning, I'd better cure the habit of choosing all those shitty women. No, this is also [my] influence..., emerald elves, then the golden fire fox or the next time that kid comes, it's already inevitable...'
My voice goes away.
Always [I] disappear by saying something.
I know because it's about me. I want to say it, but I don't want to. So I do this halfway.
"I'm going to have eyes for a woman. More than [me]."
Last but not least, this dream is over.
◇
"Good morning, Cyril"
When I opened my eyes, I had eyes with Lucier.
Lucier sits back on a tree and is alert to the area.
And it feels warm and soft on your right hand. Ku was holding me to sleep.
"Morning, Lucier. How long have I been asleep?
"I fell down yesterday evening and now I guess it's just lunch"
You were so asleep, and it's because of the brunette girl, but the damage of [circle regression] 's limited disregard is beyond my imagination. I'll have to forbid it.
"Are you keeping an eye on me? I'm sorry. You're not asleep, are you?
"Yeah, because Ku watched over me until just now, and I slept well"
"Right. Thank you. Lucier, and Qu"
Say thank you with your mouth to Lucier and stroke the head of the coo holding me.
And Ku's sleeping face is adorable.
There was after tears in Khu's eyes. I'm sure he was crying until he fell asleep.
"Cyril, are you okay? I wasn't hurt, but suddenly I fell and worried."
"Don't worry about it. Because I used too much magic in my battle with that brave man, and I'm just tired."
Saying it was good, Lucier stroked her chest down.
"I'm always worried about Lucier."
"Yeah, Cyril needs to work hard because we're weak, so we'll be able to help properly"
"I'm just glad I feel that way."
"I don't like feeling alone."
I'm just having a casual conversation with Lucier and I'm soothed. She's here, so I guess I'll stay with me.
"I feel sorry for you for waking Ku, so now let's hold Ku princess and carry Lucier home? We have to go home soon."
No longer is it strange whenever snow falls out, goat bait has tons of caede leaves available in the cabin, but it will just be eating up already, and the sanitary environment is getting worse and worse because it is in a sealed condition.
You can't just let the goat you bought die.
"Okay. But are you sure that's enough? If it's hard, you don't have to carry it, I'll walk myself."
"I'm fine. Leave it to me. Rather, he's doing better than usual."
I'll take care not to wake you up while you say that and hold the coo.
Not gone after the tears, but a happy sleeping face. You'll be sad again if you wake up. At least now I want you to be wrapped up in gentle dreams.
With that in mind, Ku opened his mouth as he fell asleep.
"Cyril, you're having a healthy baby"
Lucier gets a little giddy.
"Hey, Cyril, Cyril did what Ku and his kids could do."
"... Yes, I did"
"Hey, I might be jealous, I'm a kid too... yeah, nothing"
That said, he came around my back hiding his reddened face.
I carry her without saying anything.
Feeling the warmth between us, I took a step forward.
◇
When he returned to Elsier, he first put the load in the warehouse and asked Lucier to put the fabric of his clothes on the elves.
Kuw woke up, so the two of us head to the Firefoxes' house with me.
In her hand is a bag with the tails of her compatriots.
First of all, when I handed out my clothes to everyone, they were all so happy.
The clothes themselves were cute and sturdy, and the lack of change has always been inconvenient, so it's very popular.
And after that excitement calms down.
Kuw spread the bag with his tail on it, speaking of the end of his parting companion as he fled the village of Firefox.
All the fire foxes cry.
Some of them, hugging their tails, screamed at their mother.
The Firefoxes can tell someone by the tail, and Ku told me that the family, wherever possible, split apart and ran away. So most of the tails here belong to some flesh parent who's here.
I'm sure they were wishing each other well.
Apparently, the decision to rip the family apart was made by Khu's father in order to leave behind the diversity of his blood.
Reasonable and cruel judgment everywhere.
Thanks to this, I was able to leave all kinds of blood as I intended, but I was even allowed to taste the loneliness, the sorrow I had splashed with my family, the loss.
"Guys, just for one day, let's cry all we want. So let's start tomorrow. It's the life that connected us all. We have to live. You can't just cry to live."
Ku gives a temperamental voice, no matter what happens in front of the Firefoxes, they don't cry.
That was no different today.
◇
The next day, the Firefoxes just worked for me.
Take care of the goats and cultivate turnips. He's been aggressive on both of them.
It's like I'm trying to forget my grief because I'm busy.
And the feelings finally calmed down, and two days after returning to Elsier, a funeral of the Firefoxes took place.
"Please sleep in peace"
Ku is partitioned, and a solemn funeral is being performed.
Cremation seems to be common in the villages of the Firefoxes, and this time it was followed.
A great flame created by witchcraft. In it, his flesh parents are throwing in the tail of a dead fire fox, with their last words.
After two days, the calm fire foxes also disturbed themselves on this occasion and began to weep again.
"No! Don't burn your mother!
In the meantime, a young girl in a fire fox held her mother's tail and wouldn't let her go.
For her, that would be the last remaining bond with her mother.
There came the Qu, kneeling, gazing and placing his hands gently on his head.
"Hey, Krone. Let your mother rest now."
"Oh, no, we've been together forever."
"If Klone doesn't let go of her tail the whole time, I feel sorry for Klone's mother, who has no tail in heaven"
"But, but, Klone, I'm gonna be alone"
"It's okay, Klone's mother is looking at Klone properly, even without a tail. Besides, Krone can't be alone. Me and everyone else are beside Krone."
Ku hugs a much younger Firefox girl.
I did feel her motherhood, even though she was still at the same age as I was treated as a mere fourteen adults.
"Sister Ku, I understand."
"Krone is great. Shall I say goodbye one last time?"
"Yeah, mother, goodbye, be happy in heaven"
And the last tail went away wrapped in flames.
The rest is over with the ashes running down the river.
But here the fire foxes started making noise.
"I wonder if we're going to get killed, too"
"Scary, scary"
"I heard you were much safer than us."
What died was a group of fates who were said to wear escorts, have lots of money and food, and be safe. Naturally, they would be anxious to see what would happen to them in the future, when they were told that they were insurance and had no prospect of helping.
"I will never forgive you"
"You can die, I'll kill one of you"
"I want to clear up your sister's carelessness"
And some scorch themselves with anger.
He was even trampled on the dignity of the Firefox: burned home, deprived of his family, and cut off his tail. Naturally, these emotions also arise.
"I've had enough of these, I'm tired"
"Right. Whatever."
Despair after giving up at the end and passing through both sorrow and anger.
Around you are dominated by these three negative emotions.
Ku, too, is desperately trying to change the air, but he can't seem to do anything. No matter how hard you make it, Ku has feelings that make you sympathize with them.
So this is my turn.
As Elsier's head, as Ku's lover, and as Cyril, whom I think Lucier is cool with, we have to act.
Everybody, listen up.
Raise your voice.
Thanks to these repeated things, I'm getting used to them.
"Everyone is already a people of Elsier. I'll take care of it, and everyone else in Elsie will. So don't be afraid of the Empire. We're not gonna lose."
From the Firefoxes, the suspicious eye is turned. I can't help it either. The empire is so immense that they did not see this battle of yours directly. I don't really feel the strength.
"Elsier continued to beat the Empire. The elves alone could have won. From now on, I will use everyone's help. You can't lose this."
Strongly. Absolutely confident, without a little anxiety.
Then one fire fox raised his voice. She's an energetic girl called Chemin who used to admire Ku as her sister.
"We fight, too?
"I don't force you. But if you're going to fight, I want you to fight with me. Elsier is not just an elf country. You are the people of Elsier."
"Then I want to fight. I want to take revenge. No, they just take it away anymore, no. I'll do anything, you can die. So please."
The motive is hatred, but it gave me a little energy to live.
"Thank you. But correct me for saying you can die. As long as I lead Elsier, I will never let anyone die. I won't let you die. I'll let you take your revenge. I can do that, and I've done it before."
Ideal theory at all. The battle so far is a play compared to the next war. Anyway, nearly three thousand soldiers are pushing over. There are hundreds and dozens of fighters we can get out of here. Nearly thirty times the force difference. In that situation, we win with zero casualties.
Whoever hears it will call it a dream story. Still, I opened my mouth with certainty that I could.
"Unbelievable."
"Can't you believe me? Then I want you to remember what you've been through. Have I ever lied to you guys before?
There is only a little light of trust in the eyes of the Firefoxes.
Then we have one more push.
"Besides, I'm not just Elsier's head."
With that said, I go to Kuw's and hold him.
"Uh, Cyril, yeah"
Ku gives a voice of agitation and confusion.
"I'll marry Ku sooner or later. I mean, he's the man who'll be the chief of the Firefox! I want you to believe your chief and the Ku who chose me."
After I marry Lucier, I'll do the same with Ku.
If you can't believe me alone, or just Ku, then you just have to add up what you two have been piling up to believe.
"Say it again, you guys, I'll protect you, I'll let you win and I'll make you take revenge. So I want you to help me. It's good to grieve, but look forward to living. That's my request… No, as Elsier's chief, that's my first order as Firefox's chief."
upset runs around.
For them, it would be about water in their sleeping ears.
Still, that was never negatively acceptable. It's a short time, but I have their trust.
Firefoxes smile, look around, and…
"" "Yes" "
I nodded forcefully.
