In a quiet hall. With all the elves kneeling, there is nothing to block their sight of, and their gaze is completely focused on us as we stand.

I know the elves kneel. I guess that's all it's worth saving the inside.

But isn't it too much to kneel down to the king and bow your head? Imagine us kneeling down and telling the king we did well.

Ah... this is what we say? Everyone waits on their knees for something, and there's no way to stand up.

Or is it me, not us? You want to tell me something in this situation?

Ellie looks at me. I shake my head.

"I can't. Please. I can't help it now that I've found out about the protection."

Ellie took a gentle deep breath in my whispering appeal and started talking as Elf watched.

"Thank you all, and I only received it. King and Elves, please stand."

Mr. Ellie can really count on you at times like this!

The kings and elves rise in Ellie's words. Master Lili stayed standing normally.

"There's just one thing I have to tell you. We are protected by God, as the Spirit says, but we are not brave."

"Oh, my God! What the hell if I'm not a brave man?

Ellie was a little stuck in the king's words. Hey, hold on! Are you still untrained about me becoming a brave man!?

"A brave man is a man sent to God to conquer the Demon King. In a long history, there have been many who have been called heroes, and only one brave man. The presence of the Demon King has not yet been suggested, and our role is separate."

Soon Tirica took over and told him calmly.

"What is its role?

What is it?

"That's not something to talk about on this occasion. Everyone! Let no one tell us that we are under the protection of God. It interferes with our role."

Fine, fine. Mr. Tirica is doing just that.

I only admitted to escort, but I assure you I'm not a brave man. I even stopped talking.

That's all anyone knew about the pause. It will just have to be like that anymore.

"It will also be God's call that we saved the inside. Let us pray for God's gratitude."

When Ann concluded her prayer that way, the elves also put their hands together and prayed on the spot.

Is that it? I feel like I managed to get through this...

"I have all kinds of gifts for them."

"Then you've already seen it, Father."

In response to the words of the King and Lili, I will give them an individual item while prejudging that I did not have time and could only partially see the item Elf received.

It didn't seem to be in vain that I made a check earlier in my mind. I probably also expected this to happen if I were to interpret it favourably.

"When it comes to other things and suggestions, you don't have to."

"Hmm. It's good that everyone was satisfied with what they brought, but that's all..."

It's a lot of luxury and a lot of value, but it's also mostly handcrafted by the elves.

There is no other reason why all the other items were the rewards proposed by the royal family as a result, but I guess it just doesn't mean I'm going to end up bowing my head.

"What can we do to reward your hero?

As Lili has just offered, I guess it means you should say anything you want, but I already have what you want. All we have to do is talk about pioneering support, but that wouldn't be appropriate to do here.

You don't need me. I tried to say that. Master Lili moved forward.

"Then my concubine! Let's go into their party and help them do their part and do it!

"Oh, Master Lili!

"If you are Lili, one of the finest Spirit of the Wind magic users in the elves!

"Finally, Master Lili is willing to work!

"Oh, that's good. Party members are on time."

It's not a good idea to get my attention on this occasion, but it'll be a hassle later if I don't say no clearly here. For now, if we only deal with Lili in front of us, the eyes around us can be ignored and the proportion is fine.

"Oh, my God! Master Lili just turned me down."

"Oh! Master Lili's about to cry!

"Hey, Lady Lili!

"Hey, why not? Then there will be enemies, but the concubine is also magically confident. I'm sure it'll help!?

That's not the problem. If it just helps, it's quicker to add protection to the child you've picked up appropriately.

It can only be a hassle before the force of war, such as the princess of the elf becoming an adventurer. No matter what you think, there are more disadvantages.

"Uh. Our role is that it's already dangerous. And as Lili said herself, Lili is not strong enough."

"Bye, then..."

"Dear Lili, I've already received enough rewards. That's enough."

I feel sorry for Lili, who was lightly turned down in front of a lot of elves, but it's worse to bring it up here.

"We seem to have been satisfied with the gift, but our gratitude is more than that. Every elf in there will remember that over its centuries-old lifetime, when he fell into distress, then he appeared to salvation. Whatever happens in the future, I want you to remember that they are our benefactors and friends."

This is definitely not the kind of atmosphere you can put into your mouth, but honestly it would be more convenient for you to just forget about it. Really, what's wrong with this...

"Thank you, king. Elf friendship, and keep in mind."

That's my thought, Ellie responds properly to the king's word.

"Um, king. Please keep our affairs at least to yourself. When it comes to noise, things don't go right."

As Tirica said, I'm going to try to keep my head down here again, and I'll tell you what.

"Aye, okay. Everybody's fine! Don't leak anything about these people to the outside world in the future!

Will the celebration finally be over with the last of those words? This way, Mr. Titos is directed to the throne after turning into a disenergized Lili. There's a room on the back of the throne, and after this, it seems to be talking to the king there.

But instead of exiting as it was, he was taken to a few steps high on the throne, lined up in a way that confronted the elves tight in the hall. The kings elves hold back by their sides.

Is it like a curtain call at the end of the stage or something? Do you mean to say hello?

Well, it's a gathering to celebrate the victory. There's no way the most meritorious man can leave as is without a greeting. There's no way a king I've only met twice would know I hate a situation like this.

Or how sudden is it? I would have liked to have explained the steps in advance, but maybe it's my fault I didn't show my face for a week...

I'd also like to hide behind Ellie, but with me almost in the middle with Ellie and Ann on my left and Satie and Tirica on my right.

Ellie is proud of her attention and Anne is flat. Satti looks a little nervous, but Tirica has the same look.

I can't hear you on the stage, but it looks like the elves are looking at us and saying something.

I know this is how we celebrate our achievements, but from me, I feel no different than a spectacle. I'm not happy. I really should have run.

"Satie, can you hear what everyone's saying?

"Yes, it's a lot about Master Masal. You think you took down the Lu Wang Turtle or you shot Meteo many times? And the last dragon knocked down with a sword... and a little bit about me... and the wind magic of Master Elizabeth, and the summons of Tirica."

Hearing detection is handy, too. Shall I take it next?

The king's speech began while I was talking to Sati. I'm going to go into a lot of immersive and pretty detailed detail about our results. Master Lili hired me to descend into the elf, a short glimpse with the king. Starting with the Land King Turtle Crusade after that, it seems to be grasped a lot more accurately.

Well, I didn't hide anything from you, and Master Lili will always be with you. As far as the gate and miracle light are concerned, he's laying low as promised.

When I asked him this way, it seemed like the elf's defensive line was really only too much in each respect. It is likely that even if he could have eliminated the Lu Wang Turtle on his own, he would not have fallen far away.

There he appeared refreshed, led by Master Lili, under the patronage of God, who banished demons with large-scale magic.

Again, from the point of view of the elves, we were really great.

"Destroy only one legion, including King Oak, who broke through the walls."

That happened, too. I thought I knocked him down. I was pretty frightened when Oak King came out.

"Hold the bow even after the magic runs out, and even if that bow breaks, support the Elf's bow with a replacement front -"

Speaking of which, we also need to refill the arrows. Besides, I guess I should return the bow I borrowed from the elf when the cheap bow smashed.

"The legendary summoning magic calls the dragon..."

You've been knocked down a lot. I haven't called you since, but will you be okay now? Let's call it in next time and apologize for being knocked down for misoperation.

"Lili said. When you ramble the Spirit and stop a large earth dragon rampage with your body. There, Lord Massal descends beneath the walls with a sword -"

Good luck with that one. This was the worst occasion. After that, I fell into the moat and caught a cold.

"Then the broken sword..."

They deliberately recovered the sword they broke and decided to fall into the moat when they defeated the dragon. I received an elf who came out of the side to bring me a dedication, but I wonder what to do with this. Is that a souvenir?

It was a pretty good sword that cost about 500,000 yen, but because of the magic sword, it is worn out and broken nearby the root.

I don't think I can fix it anymore, but if it's a match for the dragon, I'd expect it as a weapon.

"Then they don't need a reward, and it's left to be said that if you bring back the dragon you defeated yourself -"

The king's story is finally over. The applause began when the elf, who had been drawn to the king's story by sipping his spit, could be placed on me, and the hall was wrapped in cheers and thunderous applause. There were also a lot of elves who were either impressed or in tears.

Sometimes when I ask you this, you don't sound like a little hero Tan.

"One last time, Elf, let's give you all the greatest thanks. And it's just an elf's secret about them. Everyone, let there be no leaks but Yume Elves."

The applause finally subsided, and the king tightened it that way, and now the ceremony is over.

I was exhausted, but I dissolved myself and went home to meet the Kings, of course. Passed into a private room in the back of the hall, surrounding a large table.

The members are queens to the king. To Lili, the other two in the seat would be Lili's brothers.

Mr Titos and the accompanying elves on the king's side stand by the wall and wait.

"I thought you weren't the only one listening on the battlefield, but I didn't expect you to have God's blessing."

That's it. Everyone doesn't even seem to doubt the Spirit's words, but I guess the Spirit is in the first place.

Which one of you leaked about us? Since the first time I met the king, the King's Spirit has spoken of protection.

"The Spirit is the grace of God to the elf."

According to the King's explanation, although the Elf ancestors who descended into the land in the distant past excelled in magic, the use of magic was not as well developed as it is now and was physically frail and only as long as it lasted compared to other species.

He said that God, who pitied it, gave the elves ties to the Spirit.

The Spirit is an ambiguous and slightly magical being that is everywhere as it is, but also grows over the years and gains some intelligence by gaining ties to the elves.

Elves with spirits are protected by the Spirit and live in unity with the Spirit.

But they didn't seem to know much about the most critical information leak either.

However, after years of experience, he said there was no mistake in what the Spirit tells him.

"Even when the concubine was born, the Spirit gathered to bless her and told her that in the future the concubine would accomplish something. I wonder if this meeting is the case..."

It's possible that in the future, it will play a part in the world's crisis. This time, you got along with me. But I haven't had any particular instructions from God since then, and I don't intend to be at the party.

"I know perfectly well that information about being a messenger of God becomes a problem. I want you to rest assured that I will lay down a full warrant on this matter."

Instead of talking about spirits, they rarely show their own behavior, and they draw the will and instructions of spiritual users, so they won't have to worry about it first.

Once the Spirit problem has been cleared up, the next one is practically relevant. Leave Lili alone, who is stubborn, and tell her exactly what happened to Lili's meeting with Tekipaki and us, narrowing down the main points. Very easy to understand.

"I see you've received the gift I brought you, but it still doesn't seem like a good match for your work. Are you sure you don't want all of Lili's offers?

Support for large-scale pioneering. Magic bracelet, an elf treasure. status and rewards worthy of place of residence and apostolate in the elves. Elf's maid squad. And Mr. Titos.

Part of it is an attractive reward, but it's not like I want it as much as I would withdraw now, just that treasure trove mountain is enormous value, and there's enough reward from the guild.

"Again, you don't need any of them"

"Then my concubine!

Haven't you given up yet?

"There was little magic in the last battle, so they showed me, but the power of a concubine is not like that! If you add me to the party, I'm sure it'll help!

"Lili, don't be rude. Will Lord Masar be in trouble?"

"But Father. The concubine also grows up. It's time to know the outside world, didn't you tell Wang Du many times to go to training? I think this is a good opportunity."

Dear Lili, you were an adult... No, I'm not sure how old the elves are in the first place. He's over 200 years old even for the king in front of him, but he only looks like him in his 20s.

"Rarely does Lili motivate... Hmm. Lord Masaru, what do you think, even for a short time because of the trial?

Speaking of which, Master Lili, you said there was no job or position in anything. You're an adult. Could it be Lili Neat!?

Well, it's not inconvenient if the princess isn't at work, but Nettle was rarely motivated.

The king seemed to think it might be a good idea, but I have trouble getting pushed.

Seeing as what everyone else thinks, I seem to be in charge of judgment around here. Well, I guess that's what I have to do when I think about protection...

"I have a few problems. First of all, as I said earlier, our role is very dangerous. You can't risk an elf princess."

When you think about this series of quests, there is a great chance that God will continue to push the challenge.

I would have sent him into the town of Siorii to take part in the battle of Fort Gorbas, and I would have led him here on a quest to help Mr. Nania where he tried to go to the king's capital to save the inside of the elves.

I wouldn't even call it a foot clump under these circumstances, but I can't afford to put someone into a party that would be careful or laborious.

Or I don't want to worry about that from time to time before it's dangerous. I want to live as easy and as plain as possible.

"Don't be prepared for danger. If the Massals were here, they might have died in the last battle. Death is fearless."

If it weren't for us in the first place, I wouldn't have been able to get back inside.

"The second, I think Master Lili would know, is that we are all rear guards. If you can have someone at the party, all you need is an avant-garde. It's a shield, too."

"Have you forgotten that concubines are spiritual users? Spirit magic specializes in protection. Of course you can do the shield, right?

Master Lili is the doorman.

"Shall we try it then? Sati."

"Yes!"

Take Sati's sword out of the item box and give it to him.

And by the big table, Satti with his sword relative to Master Lili.

"So if I could prevent Sati's sword,"

I haven't given any particular instructions to Sati, but even if I don't tell you, you'll draw my intentions. Shield him or something!

"Huh. Such a thin sword could pierce the shield of the concubine's spirit?"

That's how Master Lili let the wind shield unfold.

Spirit magic activates at speeds that are almost unchanging. Depending on your defense, you may certainly not be bad as a shield.

But Master Lili, you're totally licking Sati. Without even knowing how dangerous that is.

"I'll be there."

Satti takes a step and waves his sword from the upper section. It was quite sword speed, but it stopped on the verge of being held back by the wind shield over Lili's head.

"What do you say? I can't do it."

I guess I was frightened because the sword came closer than I thought. He looks a little blue.

When the sword fell, he was blindfolded and didn't seem to have much experience in action.

Satti draws his sword softly and lowers to the same position. And I set it up again. It's not like earlier, a poking stand.

"Again."

Oh, I'm a little serious about Satie. He didn't mean to be stopped.

I don't know either Master Lili or the Spirit, but I guess I guessed Sati's intentions. Magic on the front, concentrated the wind shield.

"I was a little caught off guard. You can't even come near me this time!

More magic, thicker and denser wind shields.

Waiting for Master Lili to be ready, Satti made a quick push forward.

And Satti's sword lightly cleaved the shield of the wind and pierced it.

"Hih."

Master Lili's voice leaks. Satti's sword was perfectly placed on Lili's neck muscle. Lili slips her throat and drops off Sati slowly pulls her sword.

"It's quite something that prevented the first attack, but you still don't seem to be a bit powerful enough"

"Ugh..."

Master Lili is completely in tears.

But that's where the cross spear from Mr. Titos enters.

"Um, maybe Master Satti isn't a tremendous master? I will never penetrate Master Lili's shield."

Oh, that's Mr. Titos. You'll find a good spot!

"Oh, yeah. Satti's bow arm was also masterful. If that's the case with swords, it won't help. Ordinary attacks can prevent everything!

I prevented the first attack, and I'm pretty sure it's powerful enough. Sometimes Master Lili just feels confident.

But the level of enemies we assume is a blow to dragons and oak kings. Very suspicious if it can be prevented by as much defense as it is now. Anyway, as it stands, it would be a little tough to act as a shield if it could be given protection.

"Mostly, my party is all my daughter-in-law, as you can see. It's a family party. I don't plan on putting anyone else in the party in the future."

Do some tests and stuff. What, but in the end, I'm going to settle for that kind of talk.

"Family..."

Master Lili finally gave up when she told me she didn't intend to leave anyone else.

What happened after this for now? I'm still tired of lunch, and I'd like to go home...

"We're getting ready for the party, so be sure to attend," Titos said.

That's right. I guess I'm going to entertain you as much as I can.

"Yeah, of course I'll be attending. Hey, Masal."

Well, okay. I'm sure you'll get a treat or something, and let's eat it discreetly.

For now, we still have time until we're ready, so it sounds like we're going to be having a little more fun here.

Tea and snacks were brought.

"Bye!

Oh? Dear Lili, what is it?

Lili, who suddenly stood up, has a bright, unusual look after hitting her earlier.

"Father! The concubine will go to Masaru for his wife!

"" "Huh!?
