26. Talk about saving the Elves from the crisis of doom

"Sir, this is the fertile forest where the elves say they will live." A vast forest. "

Princess Colette said with pleasure after the dragon.

I snort.

We were just passing through the "Great Forest of Fertility" to get to Olden.

"I hope the elves leave me alone when they banish the brave party like this. They once made a covenant with their predecessors, opening this path to man. That's why they banished the brave party. It's a delicate place to put me through."

That's how I whine.

"Even if there's nothing, it'll take a week to get through the woods.... Nevertheless, you have stronger magic than I thought... When you accumulate too many magic vegetables, they call for different things... but they're not managed?

"Since many elves live there, aren't the forests well managed?

Colette speaks of the most questionable,

"I take care of it, because I have a lot of ideas. For example, I can say that following the knowledge of the wrong past as it is is is also, in a way," Valuing tradition "."

"After all, your husband's words have inclusions! I'm gonna study!

"You're still exaggerating."

"Holy shit!? Forgive me for keeping my eyes on you!

And I was driving a carriage with such public discourse, at that time.

"Carriage there, stop!

A high-pressure voice echoed in the woods.

Exactly like the inquisition. The elf stands with multiple people, blocking the road.

(Are you still here?)

I feel more tingly than I thought.

(Still, these guys are badly grumpy, huh?

The elves looked terribly exhausted. I have a neighborhood in my eyes, just standing and flirting and such. Maybe something else happened, not just for me to go through.

"What's wrong with you?

I look down at them from your stand and say:

Allegedly long-eared, they are famous for their well-known ears and their very beautiful appearance.

However, they are not very liked by other races because of their stiff heads and the difficulty of pride being too high.

On the other hand, I was deciding they were the race the world needed.

Without their presence to live in the woods, the balance between nature and the human world would fall apart. In that sense, as a superior being like me looking out over the world, I recognize the existence value of an elf.

Personal likes and dislikes when you're human on my level have to be a line of thinking.

"You, Ariake-Mihama. That's for sure!

What is done with anger?

"Oh, yeah?

I was honest with you.

Then,

"Grow up! Seeds of this disaster! I'm not going through the causes of a disaster like yours! No, I'll tie him up here. This is the will of all the Elves!

When they shouted so, the elves around them pointed their bows and arrows at us simultaneously.

Those eyes are like looking at garbage.

"Sir, you're trying to pull a bow on my husband. So can I burn it down with the flames of love?

"Don't try to burn it down every time right away"

And what is the flame of love?

Anyway, "Wait, wait," he stopped the dragon princess.

The barbarians who suddenly turn their bows, but it's not what started them now that ordinary people are stupid.

Instead of baking, the fool shall lead him by his stupidity. You have to give them a chance to learn.

"What are you talking about as a mess"

Though several people try to drag me down from your stand at once.

"Oh, boy."

"What ⁉" "Hey, what a power!" Shit, this is really the power of the outcast incompetent. "

I "boosted my arm" and waved my arm, and the wind pressure blew everyone off and it got muddy.

What are you so surprised about? Differences in strength are evident. But failing to see it is also a sign that they are just harmless ordinary people.

I tell the elves I'll cough.

"I don't know what you guys are angry about, but why don't you explain the situation a little? I remember the elves as if they weren't barbarians, but what do you say? If not, I'll give you a chance to explain, a little bit like an intelligent creature, explain the situation."

That's what I said and tried to give them a chance to explain.

However,

"What an illustration! You banished this brave party." Seeds of disaster. "Because of you, my forest is dying for an unexplained reason!

"Uhm! What has brought disaster to the Brave Party has affected us in our covenant relationship!

Yes, yes! and even more dramatically.

Meanwhile, I calmly sum up their words.

"Death"?

I see. In short,

Are the trees of "The Fertile Forest" starting to wither... Because maybe the junction of the forest is weakening and the monsters are starting to show up. And I suppose the reason for that is that I was banished from the brave party. "

"How could it be caused by your husband who was banished from the brave party?

"To our covenant with our predecessors, the brave men seek refuge in this forest. In other words, having banished the Brave Party, I weakened the Brave Party and caused disaster in this forest."

"I think you're keeping the old tradition" important. You're talking about an earlier generation, that's... "

I nodded, "That's right," to Colette's sarcastic words.

"... unbeatable. I will definitely detain you! It is up to the head of our Elf to decide how to judge the great sin that has caused this calamity! Take the fate of your clan!

That's what I said, the elves came over.

Trouble, I'll put my head on it.

Kicking it off is easy, but these guys are so serious, I wasn't sure how to handle it.

These guys are stupid, stubborn and vulgar, but they're not bad guys or anything.

In that sense, the response is very troubling to me as the person responsible for guiding these ordinary people.

But...

"Um, I knew you couldn't forgive me for being hostile to a husband more important than my life."

There was a flame leaking from Colette's mouth.

"No, wait a minute, Colette... It's forbidden to cook."

That's when I almost said it.

"Oh, wait! Master Ariake the Great Sage! Dear Collet!"

With that said, I had to say, it was still one girl in the elf who came between us and the elf.

Is it about 15 or 6 years old in appearance?

She is a girl with beautiful golden hair stretched out for a long time, somewhere with a pungent atmosphere.

But there was some elegance.

As I sat down, I turned my face to this one and complained.

"The disrespect of my countrymen. Forgive me, for these are poor men bound by old traditions. Anyway, I'd like your mercy."

So he bowed his head again.

"Become ⁉ Princess Serra! What are you talking about?

"That's right! Plus, why would you bow your head to such an idiot, etc!

"Be careful what you say. With a little help from the Great Sage and Colette now, you and others would have wiped out the charcoal in an instant. Differences in power are evident. Don't you even know that?

"Stupid! The useless man who banished the brave party wants to have that power..."

"... don't you know the story of the Great Sage and Colette saving the town of Medicine over a thousand monsters?

"Get Medicine? Do you mean those humans' towns? Well, our proud Elves don't need to know anything about the outside world! This forest is our home. And it's the biggest defensive base! Besides, the story is a lie anyway! I can't believe anyone but Princess Serra believes 1000 and so on!

"Block your ears, block your eyes... Above all, weren't we in trouble that the forest at its heart stopped walking, and we? is ~..."

The girl named Serra glances lightly.

I just get a headache.

"Anyway, leave this place to me. These are your words as Elf's sister, your princesses."

"Mm-hmm, but we were instructed by Elf Commander..."

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

"If that's all Serra said... but I'm sure you'll regret it!

Abandoned, the Elves of the Inquisition left.

"Huh..."

Serra sighs again, then turns around this way.

And again, I bowed my head deeply,

"Dear Ariake the Great Sage. And Master Colette. I apologize to my compatriots this time. Forgive my disrespect."

You said that, and then you looked at me more like you were scratching me.

"And it's a very selfish favor, but please help us Elves from doom"

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

Heal this "fertile forest" and save the Elves. Only the greatest sage in the world, Master Ariake, can count on it. "
