26. The story of saving the Elves from the threat of annihilation

"Milord, this is the fertile forest where the elves live." It's a vast forest. "

Colette, the last princess of the dragon, said pleasantly.

I nod.

We were just passing through the "Fertile Forest" to go to Alden.

"I wish the elves would leave me alone after they banished me from the brave party. They once made covenants with their ancestors and opened the way to humans. That's why you banished me from the brave party. It's a delicate thing to do."

I was whispering.

"Without anything, it'll take a week to get out of the woods.... and yet, the magic is stronger than I thought... When there are too many magic elements, they attract a variety of things, but... are they not controlled?

"Since there are many elves, aren't the forests carefully managed?

Colette asks the most questions.

"Cherish it, because there are many ways of thinking. For example, it is possible to say something like 'cherish tradition' by stubbornly stepping on the knowledge of the wrong past."

"Milord's words are still implicit! I'm gonna study!

"It's as exaggerated as ever."

"What!? Forgive me because I've kept my eyes on it a lot!

And that's when I was driving a carriage while talking to such a crowd.

"Stop that wagon!

A high-pressure voice echoed in the forest.

Exactly like checking, there are several elves standing blocking the road.

Are you here again?

I feel more tingling than I thought.

(Still, you're very weary, aren't you?

The elves looked very tired. There is a neighborhood in my eyes, and just standing there is like a flutter. Maybe there was something else, not just me going through.

"What's wrong?

I look down at them from the podium.

They are known for their ears, which are called long ear tribes, and for their very beautiful appearance.

However, I am not very popular with other races because my head is stiff and my pride is too high.

On the other hand, I thought they were the kind of race the world needed.

Without them living in the woods, the balance between nature and the human world would collapse. In that sense, I recognize the value of the elf as a top presence that looks out at the world.

I can't help but draw a line between personal favors and dislikes when I become a level person.

"You are Ariake-Mihama. No doubt about it!

Someone will do something with anger.

"Oh, yeah?

I nodded honestly.

Then,

"Be quiet! Son of a bitch! I'm not going through a disaster like yours! No, I'm going to lock you up here. This is the will of all the Elves!

As they shouted, all the elves around them also pointed their bows and arrows at us.

Those eyes look like garbage.

"Milord, I'm trying to pull a bow on my husband. So, can we burn it down with the flame of love?

"Don't try to burn it out every time."

And what is the flame of love?

Anyway, I stopped the dragon princess saying, "Wait, wait."

They are barbarians who suddenly turn their bows, but it is not until now that they are foolish.

Fools must lead not to burn, but to foolishness. You must be given the opportunity to learn.

"What are you talking about?"

Several people are trying to drag me down from the podium at once.

"Oh, my God."

"What a power!" "What a power!" Shit, this was really the power of the outcast incompetent. "

I waved my arm with the "Arm Strength Enhancement", and the wind pressure blew everybody off and rubbed them, making them muddy.

What are you so surprised about? The difference in strength is obvious. But not seeing it is also proof that they are just harmless ordinary people.

I tell the elves I cough up.

"I don't know what you're mad at, but why don't you explain a little bit? I remember the elves as if they weren't barbarians, but how about that? If not, I'll give you a chance to explain yourself, so try to explain yourself a little bit like an intelligent creature."

I tried to give them a chance to explain.

However,

"What an explanation! You banished this heroic party," Seed of Disaster "! You're causing an unexplained" death "in my forest!

"Hmm! What brought disaster to the Heroic Party affected us in our treaty relationship!

Yes, yes! and increased dramatically.

On the other hand, I sum up their words calmly.

"Death"?

Well, in short,

"The trees in the" Fertile Forest "are beginning to wither... Perhaps the forest's boundaries are weakening and the monsters are beginning to appear. That's why I banished the brave party."

"Why did you banish the brave party because of your husband?

"The brave have promised to shelter this forest in their covenants with their ancestors. In other words, when I was banished from the brave party, I weakened the power of the brave party and thus brought disaster to this forest."

"Don't keep the old tradition" cherished ". It's about our ancestors, isn't it...?"

I nodded, "I don't know," to Colette's astonishing, ironic words.

"... I can't lose. I will take you into custody! It is up to our Elf Leader to decide how to bring such a catastrophic crime to justice! Fate your family!

That's how the elves snuck in.

I'm in trouble, and I scratch my head.

It's easy to kick, but they're serious, so I'm not sure how to handle it.

They're stupid, stubborn, and ruthless, but they're not bad guys.

In that sense, it is very troublesome for me to take on the role of guiding these ordinary people.

But...

"Hmm, I can't forgive whoever may have a grudge against a husband who is more important than my life."

There was a flame leaking from Colette's mouth.

"No, wait, Colette... It's forbidden to bake."

That's what I was about to say.

"Oh, please wait! Great Sage Ariake! Dear Colette!"

That being said, it was still one of the elves who rushed between us and the elves.

I am about 15 or 6 years old in appearance.

A girl with long stretched beautiful golden hair who has a somewhat harsh atmosphere.

But somewhere elegant.

While sitting on the ground, he appealed face to face.

"The rudeness of my compatriots. Forgive me, these are the wretched ones bound by old traditions. I don't want your mercy."

That's why I lowered my head again.

"Become Princess Serra! What are you talking about?

"That's right! And why are you lowering your head to such an idiot?

"Watch your language. Now, if the Great Sage and Colette worked a little harder, you and the others would be extinguished in an instant. The difference in power is obvious. Don't you know that?

"Stupid! A useless man banished from a brave party has such power..."

"... didn't you know that the Great Sage and Colette saved the city of Medicine from 1,000 monsters?

"You know Medicine? Are you talking about those human towns? Hmm, our proud Elves don't need to know anything about the outside world! This forest is our home. And it's our biggest defensive base! And that story is a lie! I don't believe anyone but Princess Sella!

"Block your ears, close your eyes... Above all, aren't we in trouble because the forest at stake is gone? Ha..."

The girl named Serra glanced lightly.

He just said he had a headache.

"Anyway, leave this to me. This is your princess's word as Elf Captain's sister."

"Mmm, but we're under the direction of the Elf Commander..."

"Just leave.... it's okay. I'll talk to my brother. You will not be blamed."

"If Sera-sama said that... you'll regret it!

Abandoned, the examiners' elves left.

Ha...

Sera sighs again and turns around.

And once again, I lowered my head deeply.

"Dear Ariake the Great Sage, And Mr. Colette. My compatriots apologize this time. Forgive me for being rude."

After that, you look at me with your screaming eyes.

"And please help us elves more than annihilate, very selfish."

That's what she said, and she shed a tear from her big eyes.

"Heal this" Fertile Forest "and save the Elves. Only Ariake, the greatest sage in the world, can be trusted."
