Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki

After about two months of expedition, I, Loreu, Lucier and Yukino were back in Elsier.

We arrived about hours before the Imperial soldiers arrived.

This expedition can be described as a success. Thanks to the tactics of making full use of landmines and cluster bombs, he succeeded in sharpening the intact soldiers up to four thousand.

It is also significant that they have thousands of wounded.

Along the way, the gap had also yielded results that crushed carriages transporting soldiers, allowing them to shred their food and also save quite a bit of fatigue.

The only miscalculation was that Ashno was kept warm by being prepared for damage and ignoring the mines.

That made Ashno less saved than he thought he would be fatigued, and the effects of the cluster bomb diminished.

Now that he had entered Elsier, all Elsiers welcomed him in the total.

"Welcome back, Cyril."

In that welcome group, Ku jumped out first and hugged me.

"I'm home, Ku. How have you been?"

"I have no problems with my health. But Cyril's not here, and I've always missed her. Two months is a long time."

I gently stroke the head of the cu I've been holding.

"I missed Ku too."

My body is not the only one on this two-month expedition, my mind is also quite tired.

I cuddled with Qu and felt that fatigue melting away.

... Behind that, Klao, acting village chief, seemed to envy me, and I'm slightly concerned about him looking at me and Ku.

Looking at the Luciers, there was a crowd there.

"Yukino, I'm so glad you're home, Cro."

"Beh, nothing. I'm not worried. Because I believed I would come back properly...... Yukino!

Yukino is cuddled and screwed by a black fire fox crone messed up with tears and snot and a yellow fire fox chemin.

"Let's do this, you're safe!

"Let's go around. I don't work out the same way you do."

Loreu is laughing gahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Lucier was also having fun discussing it with the friendly elves.

We often enjoy our time with the Elsiers.

It's the rest of the day.

◇

Cyril, there's no enemy movement.

"Today, I wonder if you're quiet"

Lucier and I were monitoring the Imperial Soldiers.

Take a telescope from above the exterior walls surrounding Elsier to peer into the Imperial Soldier's campsite. The tents line up innumerable and the night sky is illuminated by the flames of the burning fire.

Sometimes it's too late to get to Elsier, and the raid of the Imperial soldiers seems to start tomorrow.

The outer wall surrounding Elsier should have been unexpected beyond. It will also take time to think about measures.

"Hey, Cyril. Tomorrow an Imperial soldier will attack us to destroy Elsier."

"Tomorrow is the real deal. I managed to reduce mine and cluster bomb numbers to enough for us to withstand, but I'm still scared. I think we have a 70% chance of winning right now."

"Cyril is amazing at the number of Elsiers who can't reach three hundred, who deal with four thousand Imperial soldiers and say you can almost beat them. But really, in Cyril's case, we win."

Lucier smiles. The voice had faith in me.

"That said, we lose 30%. Ten wars and Elsier will perish three times. That's all I can do. I don't like my lack of power."

Lucier looks surprised when I say that.

"Surprised. Even Cyril makes a weak noise."

"Disappointed?

"Yeah, I guess I'm a little happy. It's proof that you're counting on me to make weak noises."

Lucier smiles with a beautiful smile.

And he's been holding my hand.

"If Cyril's operation doesn't fill the remaining 30%, we'll work hard on Elsier and fill the remaining 30%. Much, much more active than Cyril thinks. And then you can handle about 30% of it, right? So Cyril does everything she can, act like she believes."

That's a very comforting word.

I'm happy to hold Lucier's shoulder.

"Thanks. Oh well, you're right. I'm not the only one who's trying."

I think my possessions have fallen.

From now on, let's believe in all the Elsiers. I'm sure you'll answer my expectations.

◇

As the two of us continued surveillance, the paper plane flickered.

Unnatural movements manipulated by obvious wind sorcery.

No doubt Ashno did it on purpose.

There is no danger, so watch it statically. A paper plane fell at my feet. When I picked up the paper plane, there was a letter on it. Stretch the paper straight and read the contents.

There, I want to see you now. It said we were going to talk alone in the woods away from the camp.

Given her character, it's probably never a trap.

I guess I really want to tell you something.

"Lucier, keep watching me alone for a while."

"Where are you going?

"Hey, it's a walk. 'Cause I'm not gonna do anything dangerous."

"... because you can't do something really dangerous alone."

"I promise."

That's what I said. I jumped off the outer wall and ran over the woods.

◇

When I went to the designated forest, Ashno was there.

If it's just the way she looks, she's a normal girl. Blonde hair has the characteristic of a high elf, a jade eye, but it looks closer to a human than an elf.

It's painful to have a bandage wrapped around it with a bloody seeping bandage just because it looks beautiful.

"Sorry to call you so suddenly"

"I didn't expect you to apologize all of a sudden. What the hell is the reason I called you here?

When I ask, Ashno gets a serious look and stares straight into my eyes.

"Surrender now. Otherwise it's going to be a big deal. The Duke of Voldek is insane."

That's what Ashno said in a terrible panic.

"... What can you do just because the Duke of Voldek went mad? I'm more afraid of Ashno than the Duke of Voldek."

Increase the number of Imperial soldiers even if the Duke of Voldek cares about it. I can only do enough to make him fight until he dies.

It's more woven than that.

"If he thinks he's gonna lose this fight, he's gonna try to unseal Erna."

"No way, you can't be!? If the seal is released, the Empire will be safe."

Once upon a time, this world was full of demons.

The first peace is only being preserved by the sealing of Elna, the culprit, by the archdeacon Szyna.

If the seal is unsealed, the world could perish.

"I mean that one. I'm still putting people on one of the seals near here. I'm really freaking out. If you do that, even the Empire will be safe. No, a crisis in the world itself."

"Can't Ashno stop it"

"I may or may not be able to. If he's serious, he can come and break all the seals."

I'm out of line.

There are eight seals. Hundreds of years have passed and gutters are coming everywhere.

If any one of them breaks down, it completely disintegrates. Ashno, it won't be possible to defend it all alone.

"So surrender. Before I can't take it back. I don't want to destroy this world my father protected. Maximum convenience is fine."

She has a good point.

But still...

"I can't hear that suggestion. I'll win."

"What are you going to do when the seal is unsealed?

"In which case the hand is also…, there is"

It's in me, if I can draw on Sugina's power, it might be possible to re-seal it.

And another solution. Kill the Duke of Voldek promptly before giving an order to break it. Figure out a way to do that.

"... I see what you're thinking. Then let me win the positive offense. From here, first, thou shalt be a battle with Elsier, whom thou shalt guard, and with his people on thy back. You don't think you can ambush like you've done before."

"I'm going to."

Originally, I read that the showdown would be on this occasion.

That's why I'm not failing to prepare.

Ashno just leaves when he's finished talking.

I started thinking about the battle, including the seal, not just beating Ashno.
