Half-elves Fall in Love

Polka was violently shaken by a sudden Baron & Apple kidnapping.

"You've never seen the elves come in so deep."

"Baron, I wonder if you're all right"

"Well, the baron will be fine, that's about it."

"Oh, seriously?

"The problem is with Apple.... There seems to be some kind of politically troublesome position, so the Baroness would be executed if she was bad."

"Damn you elves! Apple finally got it to our idol...... no, he said he was just starting to live in peace!

"Absolutely... or diplomacy at the time you got your hands on the Baron, right? If you need help, call the headquarters of the Wang Capital Regiment and call the main unit..."

"... I don't know if they're coming, Army... 'cause this is Polka."

"... don't say that"

"Maybe winter's over by the time I call you."

"Ku, yup. Why aren't you walking for an hour, Wang Du!

Polka has to go through a difficulty called the Son Snake Mountains on the road from Wang Du, which is difficult to contact in the first place. The decree will not arrive at the speed of cutting a week using whatever means it can, and if it is to come in full, a sizeable barracks plan will have to be put in place to march around the neglected polka.

First, if you want to do things with the northern elves anyway, it is more convenient and quicker to march north west of the Snake Mountains and through the sanctuary Lycra in many surrounding cities. The more important it becomes, the more likely it is that the issue of the lives of one lord and his guests on the verge of sudden need will be abandoned.

"I wonder if we can do something about it now."

"I can't... I don't have a baron. We're in the military. Say it."

"I mean, a little over a hundred people said they drove out all the men in the city..."

"If you pull a jizzy or a kid cho, that's about half of it, right?

"... don't let everyone die in three seconds if the elves get serious"

"I wish I had a baron..."

Warden Combine, Keel and Johnny dropped their shoulders disappointingly at the city's south main entrance.

It's not really if you're keeping an eye on intruders from your own country here. The enemy is north.

But if they actually attack me, I'll have to run away. The two of them had only one experience in action and had only experienced a positive fortress battle to bring the end of the Celesta War, and had never fought the enemy properly.

Halvard, who has both of them, is usually unnecessarily intimidating, and even the person who has them is a little frightened, but now he didn't rely too much.

but Baron Goot's hall had a completely different vibe.

"Think carefully"

Lyla twists her neck on Deane's words.

"Prudence and nothing. We should go get it back."

"No, I'm sorry."

Deane walks around the office as it was when the baron was attacked, carefully examining footprints, window crushing marks, etc.

"Sure, it's likely the elves did, but the way they did it is too abusive. I've heard rumors of elves and demons, and I think it's the work of bandits."

"... Bandits?

Deane goes on to explain to Lyla, who looks suspicious.

"I haven't found a trace of an elf with one eye. Nobody's seen Apple and the Baron being exposed, and there's no missed arrow shooting."

"... but that being said... even though it is also a location where you can walk around without bandits"

"Sir Bonaparte came this far directly across the Snake Mountains. Even though it's dangerous when the elves blame you, there's no chance of a bandit coming"

Around the polka is both the border and the border. This is a location where banditry is too far off the border. Lurk somewhere. The climate is too harsh, and there can be no back society in the first place where you can move the money you make from banditry. It's a land where bandits, for better or worse, don't think they'll stay long.

but there is no zero chance that he will come on expedition and sin. The scenario of the Baron, a nobleman who seemed to have money, and the weak woman who seemed to be around him to threaten him was also unlikely.

It was not unnatural that there was no ransom demand, but it is also conceivable that he spent three days or so building a base on land he was unfamiliar with….

"And then Andy and the others... No, Angelos and Maia would have missed it. Is it something to be caught?

"Suppose that bandit has secured Andy in some kind of applause... just the unwieldy ones. Maybe I just had to raise my hand for a second."

"I see..."

"... I'm talking about what's going on. If you yell at the elves by mistake, that's what gives them the great name of war"

"It doesn't have to be a mistake to be at war. At least I'm not gonna make it easy on you."

"Me too. But politics is a big name. No matter how much a part of the country gets hit, if whoever did it deserves it with evil, the majority of the others will try to do it with a guy named Lizard Tail Cut. Without justice, people don't move. If there is any certainty that the killer is an elf, there will always be the Barons over there, and it won't be a war. But without it, the Barons will have the worst possible consequence that they will not be able to recover and wage an unnecessary war."

"... it's tough being alive."

The Deanes were swung at that one point that the raid by the elves was sometime more forceful.

Quick at any rate, and little evidence because it was in the snow. The tracking of the footprints leading into the woods is carried out by Selene, but the location was also dangerous to the location alone.

"Deane, I'm home."

"Sister, how was it?"

"No. Andy, I don't know where you guys disappeared... I think maybe it's in the woods, but the range is too wide. I wouldn't bother to run deep in the snow, so I can't count on my footprints."

"Uhm."

Andy's loss was also difficult to handle just because he didn't know the point.

It probably happened at the same time, so I'd like to deal with it with you, but when Maia is around, it's possible she went somewhere with those wings.

If, for example, you had been invited to Misty Palace to spend no great deal of time, there was still a danger that inadvertent causation to the elves would have been a lifeline for the human side, and hence for Trotto and Celesta.

"... it was a failure to let Andy hang out with all the clumsy guys"

"Well... Selene or Deane would leave at least about a clue, and hey"

At least, Deane and the others had nothing to do with the feeling of powerlessness like the citizens of the city… No, they felt stuck because of their position of strength and need for thought.

"I'm just..."

Serene returns there, too.

It was a body like Hetohetto.

How'd it go, Selene?

"... the demon found me in terrible sight"

"A demon?

"It's Kuma's demon...... thanks to which the footprints are messed up"

"Bear...... per lamberjack grizzly"

It is the demon of a bear who boasts the power to slap and break giant trees with one blow.

Due to so much power and speed, he is a powerful demon who cannot be satisfied to escape or fight in a decent human being, but he still told the story of how many selenium drawers he had around to do to the point of tiredness.

"Is the demon still nearby?"

"For once, I pulled a little away from the city and then sprinkled it. I'll tell you where if you're going to kill me."

"Uhm."

"... Lyla?

"I'm going to eat. A little bit of a bug."

Lila after the museum.

Ha, and a sigh of sigh, Deane. It was the mountains she wanted to be stressed out too, but she couldn't put it on yet.

Sister, please help me.

"What? What?

"Again, find out Andy's likely route to running. There are only a few easy to run routes that can be lost without being witnessed by people in the city and can be used to train marches."

"Yeah... well, I think so, hey"

Lila, a dragon-body with Selene on her back, flies over the woods to the point where she scatters demons.

And there's already a forerunner.

"Ho. Arthur Bonaparte"

"Wow... and Lord Lyla. disrespect"

Arthur looked surprised when he was about to reach Lyla's giant.

For now, I'm sure he's a fierce man who won't even pull a step toward a dragon opponent, but he's a hard man to tell from the side how seriously surprised he is.

"I'm not saying Selene saw a demon around here, but I thought you saw it."

"Oh, that bear... I'm after him too, I don't think so"

"Aim?"

"Oh, I wanted to train you to fight big opponents. Bear demons use their arms differently than wolves or something, so they're better in action."

"... what are you going to fight about?"

"Well."

From behind Arthur, who says so, a bear demon flies through the darkness.

"Arthur!"

"Whoa."

Arthur, who is also responsible for the advance. The cape is torn.

but you noticed Lila's giant right after that rampage, the bear flips back into the darkness of the forest.

"Shit..."

Lyla quickly transforms into a human body when Serene is lowered.

Step down next to Arthur.

"Either way, is it hard to kill him without burning the woods? If you let them get away with it, Arthur, let's hunt for it in competition with me."

"Ugh, um"

"Well, that's right. Would you spare me running around in this snow naked, Lord Lyla?

"Ho?"

"That... gets in the way of my legs"

Deane and Hilda were walking carefully around the path around the woods.

"I've seen it many times..."

Hundred times, sister.

"Diane has some experience with the gendarmerie...?

"No, I've been in the Special Intelligence Brigade before, but there's no Gendarmerie."

"Deane, you're gonna change your job really well."

"I've been a soldier for decades. Well, after a few more years, I don't know... Hmm?

Stopped in Deane's eye, not strange. No, can I call it an anomaly?

There have been rumors of recent elf raids here, and there are fewer that come very close.

The road near it, that's right. It's not what anyone's walking on.

but there are kids jumping ropes on such a road that evening is approaching.

……

Deane approaches with a strange face.

"Hey, it's dark already, so you should go home..."

A child who strengthens himself in a vicious manner.

The kid looked familiar.

"... Mm, you...?

"Oh, aren't you the blacksmith's kid?

Did you just feel a little more comfortable with Hilda's appearance crouching in the snooze?

The child glanced up at Auntie and the two.

"You...... guys......?

"I'm Deane"

"Dr. Hilda, the magic doctor."

"... yeah"

"What's your name?

"Sarah."

"Yeah. Sarah, if you want to play, shouldn't you play in the city while it's brighter?

To Hilda, who speaks in a bright voice, the child named Sarah answered with a small voice.

"... so, because... I'm practicing, and if everyone sees me, I'm gonna be chilled"

"Double jump, I'm the only one who can't jump..."

…………

Deane laughs bitterly.

Certainly near people's unspoiled woods. Though you'd be great for hiding from everyone and practicing something.

"But in this dark, the human race will fall"

"... it's okay. Visible."

"No, that's still the limit"

"Me and my old man, it's okay if it's dark. You don't have to candle, go."

"... oh"

On her head, little horns.

It doesn't seem round and too stiff, and if you don't look closely, it looks like a hairband pattern or something, an accessory that still grows firmly on your head.

"So, it's okay"

"Right. But the demons become active at night. You should stop."

"Ugh."

The girl didn't seem convinced.

"... but we have to work hard"

"It's not something you can do if you pack too many roots. There's an appropriate amount of practice."

"Yep. I hope it's not too much. If it's too much, it's gonna ring the next day, right? I like to do what I need every day."

Hilda raises her fingers and gently tells her.

School teacher and child, smiling at the feeling, but still somehow sounding evil is because of Hilda's voice? Deane secretly worries if it's because of her insatiable desire.

"... you see the sisters, even though it's dark."

"Huh? It's a dark elf."

"In Celesta, there are plenty of people who can see in the dark, and they can all feel at home."

"... yeah. Sort of."

The girl looked a little chopped up.

"My old man's been worried about me these days."

"Now I should move to Celesta."

"... Yeah, yeah, you can"

It is a trot kingdom that is considered tolerant towards the Auga, but still there is disconnection where the overwhelming majority and minority are invisible.

In the midst of that disconnection, the mixed blood will be located.

Celesta has a smaller difference in numbers between majority and minority than trots, with a wide variety and a lot more mixed blood than trots. It could never be described as an ideal country without discrimination, but it was certain to be disputed.

"It's the workshop I got because of you, but I'm really right to give it back to the original owner, and for Sarah's sake, I might as well start over with Celesta, and, uh, always, I'm whining in bed,"

"... yeah. If you're coming, Celesta's gonna be fun."

That half-oga blacksmith also has a lot to worry about.

It's a tough choice, but I'm sure it makes sense.

Conditions apply once this Andy or Baron thing is cleared up, but this is also on the edge. If you're going to emigrate, as Celesta's, I'd like to give them as much support as I can, Deane thought.

but Sarah frowns.

"But I, I like it here"

……

"Old man says I feel sorry for Sarah here. But me, do I feel sorry for you? Guys, I mean it sometimes, and I say nasty things, but I, I don't really hate it. I always thought we'd all live here. I really wonder if Celesta would be happier with me. Are you going to grow up with everyone, can't you?

…………

Adult thought happiness is not necessarily happiness for a child.

Maybe the little happiness that makes you give up to grab big happiness is irreplaceable to you in person.

It's a common story.

"Me, I want to double jump, be able to. I want to be with everyone. So, I don't want to waste that.... I wonder if going to Celesta is a lot better than that. I wonder if it's a beautiful place to be without it all, Celesta."

"... right. Your sister doesn't even know that."

As a man who has become a great yuan that haunts his father, as one of those lines, Deane will answer firmly.

"A parent is a wish for a child's happiness, and the child has the right to be happy. I can't tell you I'm wrong about your father trying to do that for you as much as possible. But, Sarah. Now, if you're happy, I think it's a good idea to say you're happy."

"Huh...?

"Some parents are too greedy for their children. So if you're satisfied, you're satisfied. 'Cause sometimes I can't tell you if I don't tell you I appreciate what I've been able to be. Parents try their best. Unlike double jumping, parents don't know if they've made their kids happy"

"... yeah"

Deane laughs bitterly that you're unfaithful yourself. Think of it, my father, seeing himself continuing his efforts to save even his allies on the top of the Buddha, must have thought that he was unhappy that there was really no only man to save and satisfy.

And I guess I was struggling to put on a man with more track record and life expectancy, not a human being anyway.

Sometimes I'm going to tell you that I've already made you happy enough, rubbing it on your shoulders. I'll grab the rest myself.

"Okay.... I'll say thank you to your father. And don't worry, I'm sure we'll get a double jump."

"Oh."

Even children are well qualified to fight for happiness on their own.

I want you to take care of that pride in what you're fighting for.

That's what I think, Deane strokes Sarah's hair.

and that moment.

From the darkness behind Sarah, who grinned, a bear demon suddenly pops up.

And then he snapped Sarah and Deane, who were in front of him, away with one blow, and jumped out into the snowfield.

Bacah, and I can see Sarah's half shattered.

My arm broke, Avara smashed, my spine bent horribly, and I hit Deane's body.

"Sarah...... Huh!!

Deane buried Sarah in the snow holding her tight.

Sarah opens her eyes and exhales Kepp's blood.

"Salaah!!

"Deane, lend it to me!!

In an instant, Hilda jumps at the two of us, who made her glance his famous doctor's.

My arms are chopped a thousand times with my fingernails and fall into the snow.

The flank was also deep.

"Sister Up!! Get Sarah... get Sarah!

"I know! Absolutely help...... leave it to me!

Hilda moves her hands at high speeds and begins the hemostasis and magic procedures one after the other.

Leaving the occasion to Hilda, Deane rises from the snow.

Bear demons in front of me.

In front of Deane, not too big, like Oyama.

But that had nothing to do with Deane now.

It is the enemy in front of us.

And I never condone my enemies.

Oasis' Dark Elf's strongest warrior stripped out his hidden fangs.

"Die."

What Lyla and Arthur finally caught up with was a fan-shaped bloodstain scattered with shock, stretching over a dozen meters through the snowfield at dusk.

And it was the corpse of a bear who had his torso amputated with one kick leg.

"... Deane"

"You guys leaked...!!

Deane eats and hangs on Lyla and Arthur, grabs two chest barns, and cools down a moment later.

"... sorry, it's a win-win"

"Yes, no... I'm sorry."

"... sorry"

It's blood right around the corner. Arthur and Lyla bite their lips when they see Hilda desperately continuing the procedure on the dying girl.

But.

"... already. Why do you look like you've been up all night?"

Without turning around, Hilda said brightly.

"Sister."

"I'll take care of it, I told you, didn't I?

A few days later.

"Yes, yes, you can't open your eyes... I'll flush it."

Zuba, and Selene watered, and the little head jumped the water as he shrugged.

Two small horns on its head.

"... this Spirit Fountain is out of digit."

Lyla laughs bitterly.

"I didn't know you dropped your arm and it would heal without a scratch in just three days..."

"Connected. What do I say? It's a miracle."

The Dark Elf sisters also laughed bitterly in line.

... the girl, maybe with Hilda's skill too... was lightly and completely happy from dying.

"My sister is amazing."

"Hmm. Respected? Respected?"

"Oh...... I wouldn't go for that"

"Well, Andy, if you find it, lend it to me for the night with an exclusive."

"No, that's not my discretion."

"Ho. Well, I think I did extra work overnight."

The phase remained the same, and no clues had been found for the Andies.

but I'm pretty sure I'm doing something about it. Andy must be a man who can hold out until he finds him. That's what I believed.

"Hey, Dr. Hilda"

"Hey, Sarah"

"Thanks for your help, I'll give you this"

During a walk in the hot water, Sarah approached the snow mass by the side of the road, digging with me, and removing the ice mass from the inside as if it mattered.

"I found this when I was practicing rope jumping."

The ice of an arrow pierced true sphere.

"... ho. Deane, that sphere... it's Maia's, isn't it?

"The arrow... that arrow is the same guy named Phaser was shooting at me before this"

Lyla and Deane looked at each other.

"Sarah, hey!

"Oh, what!?

Sarah was held tight by Deane and Lyla and blinked her eyes.

In the woods, in front of the ancient kingdom.

It was worn by Lyla, Hilda, Selene and Deane joining forces to forge a bond.

"Hmmm.... ancient kingdom, is it something you can handle"

Arthur goggles up and stares at the junction. The right eye, which sees the space, sees the junction forced open by multiple spells to break the pie's skin.

"Come on through."

With Deane's decree, the other members enter into one kingdom after another.

"Come on... I'll have it back, Northern Elf"

Once again, Deane looked into the warrior's eyes as he twisted the closing junction.
