Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki

"Is this the first time you've talked like this? I'm Cyril. Cyril the Elsier."

I turn around and speak to the woman standing behind me.

In his late teens, he has a soothing, even body. Bright golden hair, most notably the superior species of elves, the high elf's testimonial blue eyes...... [Emerald Eye].

My instincts as an elf are whispering to her to kneel.

I've never seen him in person before, but a crazy nostalgia ran through my chest.

"This, be polite. I am Ashno. I'm a hero of this world and I'm a protector."

Be thankful for the dust. The appearance is very similar.

"Oh, my God. You said you didn't expect me to notice the aim of the Empire so quickly, but I wasn't expecting you to find me so soon, either. I was on guard."

He darkens his hair and hides his ears. It wasn't just that, it was disguised as magic because it could be found in the wavelength and soul of magic.

"So, I was going to hide it. Hey, tell me, what are you? Your father's, the archdeacon's, Shjina's, what the hell? Don't lie to me. If they lie about my father... I'm not sure I can contain myself."

Killing enough to stab my skin is released from Ashno.

I choose words carefully, if I make a mistake, I die.

"I am the rebirth of Szyna.... someone else in red who just has Sugina's memory"

Yes, I do have the same soul as Sugina, and memory.

So what is it? I'm not the magician who started it, Sioux, or Shjina, Ashno's father, Cyril. I have lived as Cyril and will continue to be Cyril.

"I see you're not my father. I expected it because it smelled like a nostalgic soul..."

Only for a moment, Ashno looked like a child who seemed to fall apart from his parents and cry.

Five hundred years ago in [me] 's story, [me] when Szyna promised she would see me again, and she died. I kept believing in that promise. How cruel my words sounded to her.

"I'm Cyril. Not your father."

"Okay. Cyril, I'll show you something nice. Follow me."

Ashno walks out with his back turned.

I followed it silently.

◇

"Where are we?

"The Imperial Soldiers' Training Grounds, the soldiers are working out here. More than 10,000 recruits and old soldiers combined. I'm trying my best to make that soldier two months old."

Bringing him to Ashno is a hill that the Imperial Training Grounds can look over.

The heat to the point of stifling is coming this way.

"What, this unusual air?"

"Guys, I'm desperate. You should ask."

I use [Perceptual Extension] to start picking up the sounds of the training ground.

And my spine got cold.

"This... the hell"

There was a grudge echoing in the training ground.

"Give me the devil! Kill the elves!

"Eradicate them."

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

I look out for the elves, several of them slapping their swords with their blood-running eyes at Marutai.

There's no reason. It was driven by pure intent to kill.

"What, are you surprised?

"What the hell..."

Soldiers are not forced to act. I can't let that kill go without sincere intent.

"You know that, don't you? Until now Elsier has killed too many Imperial soldiers. Naturally soldiers have a lot of family and friends."

"I know that. But it's unusual."

"Well, I guess that's an imperial effort"

In one word, I understood the situation.

"Provacanda."

"Exactly, the paper was finally cheap to make, and it was easy to do because it raised the literacy rate so much. At least for the people of this city, this war is a war of aggression from ferocious elves, desperately defensive as well as disadvantageous. I recognize that many soldiers have been sacrificed to protect the city."

It's a stupid story. There's no reason for an elf to attack this city.

We had to fight because we didn't want to be destroyed. It's as if the position is reversed when he says it was the Empire that drove him that far.

"That's not all, is it?

"Yeah, sure. The people of the city also believe this. All of my painful life now is because of the elves. As long as the elves are around, this hell goes on. You said you'd be happy for the first time since you destroyed the elves. Those who train there, scorching themselves into resentment, are desperately trying to sift their swords to be strong in order to protect their loved ones. Morale is out of step with the Empire soldiers Elsier has won so far. That's a lot to make up for the low proficiency of the rapists."

Once, I used my grudge against the Empire to train Elsier.

The same thing is carried out hundreds of times on a scale. Clearly, I'm scared. It's like one city has become an enemy.

"Tell me, Ashno. Did you plant this? You want to destroy Elsier?

"No, I'm not. I just knew and didn't stop, and it was Cyril who painted this one, one of the four Dukes, Voldek"

I think of that man, or the face of the cutter who was once Belle Elsier, in my head.

"And I promised to cooperate in this war. You know what that means, don't you?

"Over 10,000 high morale soldiers attack us with abundant food. Besides, we can't use attribute witchcraft using Mana, which has always made an advantage in the battle against the Empire."

Ashno is a high elf and can use his unique abilities, [Mana Full Mastery]. In her sphere of domination, ground, fire, wind and water. All mana follow her.

Both the elf and the fire fox lose their power before her and lose their advantage.

"You know there's no winning, right?

"Why not. Why, Ashno takes the side of the Empire!

"That's right, Cyril. To break you and see your father again."

Ashno had a clear, beautiful grin.

"The truth is, Cyril. I knew exactly who you were. When I first smelled like my father and talked to him, I didn't think he was my father. But it was definitely my father who came out later and got in the way"

That's all, Ashno noticed about me?

"So, Cyril. I made a hypothesis that you have a father in you. Fish the Szyna material from one end. I was convinced that my personality had suddenly changed at a certain age. I will break Cyril's heart and drag her father out. That's why I wanted to destroy everything that matters to you. [M] I can kill them all for your absence by myself, but that ends irrationally. So let them despair that they couldn't protect anything after a proper battle on your mound, the war"

Once, [I] said: The moment I give up everything, I die as Cyril and [I] come forward.

Is Ashno cooperating with the Empire for this?

"Cyril, it's bad for you. I waited five hundred years. I only have a father. I know it's terrible, but I can't give up."

If I'd known I could get it back by losing Lucier or Ku and taking something important from someone, I'd have acted the same way Ashno did.

"Well, I know what Ashno thinks"

I take out the knife, hold it backwards, and pull it down my throat.

This momentum will undoubtedly cause fatal injuries.

"I don't know what the hell you're going to do"

Ashno opens his mouth as he experiences severe pain and sweats.

The knife didn't poke me in the throat, it was poking me in the back of Ashno's hand.

She slipped her hand between my throat and the knife.

The puffiness spills red blood.

"Let's negotiate, Ashno."

I pull the knife out of Ashno's hand.

She healed by witchcraft in her own hands.

"If I kill myself, Ashno will not be able to see his own father... Shjina"

Anyway, I'm a treasure chest to her. I definitely want to avoid breaking every treasure in that chest.

If so, stand up for yourself and stop.

"Are you going to shield your own life and stop me? If you attack Elsier, tell him you'll kill yourself."

"I wouldn't say that. I know how Ashno drank those terms."

Because either way, it would be a condition of not being able to meet with Sugina. Then use tough means.

What I fear is that Ashno won't give up for the rest of his life.

If you can outrun me this time, more than once, more than once, I'll give in one day.

There is only one way to prevent it.

"Suggestion. Let's go to war. However, whichever one wins, there shall be no futile killing. If I surrender, with Ashno's power, save the people of Elsier as much as possible."

Soldiers who hate elves and fire foxes from the bottom of their hearts, if they lose the war, they will be slaughtered no matter how they fall.

But if she's a hero and a believer, she can stop.

"What good is it to do that?

"If I lose. I dump Cyril and give [me] my body. Conversely, if you force me to call [me] by any other means. I won't put [me] on the table, even if it's going to hurt me."

"... if I wanted to see my father, I'd have to drink the terms. So, what happens if you win?

"To Ashno, the future is perpetual. I need you to give up seeing your father."

"If I win, I can see my father, and if I lose, at least I can't see Cyril while she's alive. Fine. I swear. [Soul Pledge] You can use it, right?

"Of course."

[The Soul Pledge] was once a magic developed by Szyna.

Burn a covenant on each other's souls, and die if we break that covenant.

"" [Soul Pledge] ""

Launch magic at the same time.

There are three contractual matters.

1. Me and Ashno will deter genocide wherever possible

2. If Ashno wins, I turn my body over to [me]

3. If I win, Ashno gives up about his father

Successful contract witchcraft completed.

"The last war is three months from now. So let's settle this."

"Got it. I'll be ready by then."

Three months. If it seems long enough to be ready for war, time will soon pass.

"Ashno, it's a message from [me]. Forget about [me] and find your happiness. I don't even need to protect the world. Be free."

In my dream, [I] said I wanted to free Ashno from myself. It's the only word [I] have seriously unleashed against me.

"I can't. For five hundred years, I couldn't. So I keep waiting for my father."

Break up with Ashno.

The next time we see each other, it's the battlefield.

I'll be ready.

Imperial soldiers were more threatening than expected. I used an outrageous hand to distort the facts and make almost all the people in the city soldiers.

Paradoxically, it means you don't have to be forgiving because you're an ordinary person.

I don't hesitate anymore. Cross the last line. Use any hand to make it look good. To protect your loved ones.
