"I want you to confirm it here."

I look over at my people and open my mouth.

My buddies are wrapped around in ropes, and my looks should look like an oak from them.

It's not too tight, but I can't help it.

Make sure the girls all nod and I spin the words that go on.

"The sight that spreads beyond is a hell of a mess. It's a hell of a world that's tough there. The elves have ravaged and mauled their lives, their dignity and their flesh with misery. If we move on, I can't be entirely sure that we won't be one of them. ─ ─ We can still turn back now. Still want to move on, do you think?

That's what I asked my people.

Whenever you're an adventurer, life is at stake.

But on the other hand, there are risks that you shouldn't face as an adventurer.

I'll look over the three of you, Satsuki, Mi and Cyril, and check on the reward status.

"The reward for success is two hundred gold coins. The reward of fifty pieces of gold per capita is comparable to completing the general E-rank quest five times and is equivalent to the wage of a daily worker for three months, but can also be said to be 'to that extent'"

But the "common E-rank quest" naturally poses a life-threatening risk.

That is not without any adventure.

Regarding Eileen, by the way, it doesn't even matter what the reward is.

What she is moving is totally love, for her own justice.

I even speak to her.

"Eileen also wants you to think about it now. Is that the belief worth risking your life to protect?"

"... is that to me, abandon the elves? We just promised each other we'd be good neighbors."

Eileen looked a little cocky, staring at me.

That's just stubborn. It sounds like Eileen.

"Yeah, he says we should put that option in perspective, too. It's called" The Life of a Greatly Unclose Elf. "

"... hey Will, I'm serious about that"

Irene's anger increases.

Intimidation almost enough to say homicide.

But I can't leave here, either.

"Oh, I mean it. I'll tell you what, if one of you decides to move on, I'll follow suit. I mean, Eileen, if you decide to move on, I'm not gonna let you go over there alone, so I'm gonna go with you to support you."

"... have?

Eileen, hearing my words, shouts a barbaric voice.

"Well, because Will said then that you couldn't bet your life on my thoughts."

By "then," Irene meant when I met Irene when I came home from reconnaissance looking like an eagle.

And I do remember saying that, too.

But...

"No, I changed my mind about that. If you think calmly, the option of abandoning Eileen cannot be in me. For me, you're an irreplaceable friend who's very important and you never want to lose."

"Right!

Eileen was a jerk for some reason.

Three people, Satsuki, Mi and Cyril, are smiling and shrugging their shoulders when they see it.

I don't know, aside.

"It's from here on out that matters, Eileen. If you move on, and I follow you, you might say you follow Satsuki or Mi or Cyril."

"... yeah"

"So your decision could be a threat to the lives of the Satsuki people. That's what I'm saying about the Elves' lives. For me, the lives of Satsuki and Mi and Cyril and Irene are tens of thousands of times more important than the lives of the elves I'm not so close to."

"... what the hell is that? It's cowardly."

Hearing my words, Eileen gets upset with the face she comes up with.

But this is necessary.

All this time, I have trouble getting her to move briefly.

And to keep her short, it's more accurate to appeal to emotions than to social common sense.

But if it is not short-handed, and the conclusion is reached after a solid troubling, I do not intend to deny it.

Even I don't want to abandon the elves.

To be clear, I'm still lost, too.

I don't think it's really too late to ask if it's really too late.

The living, even if the dead cannot be saved.

If, for example, the Satsuki and the others were caught in such a sight, they would abandon it because they thought it was too late, and that would not be the case.

"─ Hey, William. Can I give you my opinion?

That's what Cyril heard then.

The look on my face was serious and powerful.

When I nod the remarks that follow Cyril, she nods and says the words that follow.

"I'm troubled if you're mistaken, but Master Irene isn't the only one who moves with thoughts. Regardless of the reward, there is justice for me. I can't forgive the orcs, and if there's an elf life I can save, I want to save it. - I don't want to live by bending this belief in myself. Even if it is a belief similar to hypocrisy that only sees what is in front of you"

Cyril put her hand on a splendid chest wrapped in a pure white robe and appealed to me like that.

And in addition, the other one.

The beast man girl opens her mouth as she moves her cat ears flashing.

"I can't forgive the orcs either. I'm sorry if I don't scratch your throat off one end. - And since William got here, you have a good chance, don't you?

"Oh, not a hundred."

"Then as always, Mi gets on with it. The Mies are doing adventurers. If you think too much about your life, you can't do anything about it."

And following that mi, the girl in the kimono also opens her mouth.

"You know, sometimes I think, isn't Will meant to be our protector or something?

"No, that's..."

... Can't you say enough about not having one?

Satsuki may be right about this.

"I may not rely on you, but we're Will's 'buddies'. So, I don't know what to say-- well, that's it, I mean, I'm going on a big boat and I'm going to leave it to you! I don't know what the oak balls are, but I'm gonna put them all together and cut them off!

That's what Satsuki laughs at.

I heard it and my mouth got loose.

It's impotent.

When it comes to satsuki, neither calculations nor anything happened.

And for that satsuki, Eileen makes tea from the side.

"Uh, wouldn't Satsuki be able to do that? Why don't you leave it to me?

"Ugh, you can't do that! These things are mood problems! All you have to do is barn and bust a dokan!

"Haha, you can't leave this to Satsuki, can you? Right, Will?

"Phew, you're right"

"What!? Until Will! Terrible!"

When a cry enters Satsuki like that, a laugh spreads to everyone on the spot.

Strangely enough, the field was warming up at some point.

And most importantly, everyone's will was solidified.

As a summary, I look over at the girls and say:

"Then unanimously 'proceed', okay? Like I said, it's a hell of a sight to be spreading up ahead, isn't it?

When I asked him that, he said with a face that Eileen didn't understand.

"So we're gonna punch you in that hell and smash you up, right?

Looking at Irene's confident face, I feel like she took one.

"Oh, right. - Then go, or I'll smash the hell out of you."

"" Ooh!

To my voice, the girls replied with thoughtful approval.
