Kuishinbo Elf

475th meal in a stray

◆ ◆ ◆ Ertina ◆ ◆ ◆

Two weeks were about to pass since I lost my battle with Alan and lost my loved ones. In the meantime, I had left the healers association and returned to my parents because I had fired the Virgin and could not act as a healer.

The Etil family graciously welcomed me into being incapacitated and turned into just a rare beast. That tenderness temporarily healed my heart, but I couldn't get back on my feet. I think it's quite a serious injury.

I really enjoyed this one, I really can't get my temper out of it. You know you can't stay like this, but you can't get up frustrated by helplessness.

Clark and the chickens laugh at me because of this.

"Clark...... tiger......"

Thanks to Mr. Durise, we were saved a hair instantly. Not only that, but it also brought together those left behind in the battlefield and moved them to a safe place. Among them were Clark's remains.

And after being confirmed by his family, he was cleansed and buried in "The Land of Rest in Langsten".

I apologized to Clark's parents. But... it wasn't a curse or a voice of condemnation that came back from them.

"Dear Ertina, my son only served as a knight."

"The Virgin looks like this too... she's a girl... ugh, ugh..."

The words that guide me, they weren't the words I wanted. I think it would have been better if some of them had been cursed. I was about to be crushed by the burden of getting even heavier. I already wanted to throw everything out and run.

But... I couldn't.

I was carrying too much heavy baggage to do that. There are too many people who have died trusting me.

But now I'm a tiny, powerless person. I couldn't live up to everyone's expectations, and I wasted my time feeling bored.

Still, my people, and my family, believe me, are waiting. Without knowing that kindness is the hardest thing for me right now.

◆ ◆ ◆

Then a week passed. I was flying out of my parents' house and coming all the way to Mowsink Hill alone. If a monster attacked me, I wouldn't have one right now. I didn't mind anything. But there were no monsters attacking me.

The monster of one big pig I happened to encounter came close to seeing me. I thought it was going to hit me... but it wasn't.

The big pig was licking my cheek and gently poking his chest away with his nose. This was, in other words, sympathetic to "cheer up".

I was judged worthless by a monster. What a pity!

……

I stood on a cliff. From there, there is a good view of the town of Filimisia.

Town of Filimisia. There are so many memories of me there, my precious companion... and the town where my family lives.

The wind blowing through told me at dusk. It was time for the day to head to the bed called the horizon.

I trained with everyone in my class here. Its nostalgic memories come back to me. Unchangeable routine, there was certainly Clark's appearance in it.

I don't get it no more if I want it...... how worthwhile the routine I spend with him was. I despair of that value I know since I lost it, and of the foolishness I can only understand after I lose it.

When I lost the battle for a week, I was called to Philimisia Castle, where I was stripped of my Virgin status. I didn't want to pinch my disagreement, and I saw a girl named Zeana Flien, who was introduced as a new Virgin, and I felt that talent at a glance.

This girl says she has virgin qualities.

Grandpa Delkett and Mr. Eleanor offered me a temporary respite, but I was so convinced that I was able to get into the rhetoric that I quickly fired the Virgin.

The king had a very sorry look on his face, but I'm already worthless as a Virgin. Then a girl named Zeana can be much more active.

"... Senior Peach"

I'm no longer a peach user. I can no longer summon Senior Peach. He's under Doctor Momo now. It is specially processed so that its immature fruit does not rot.

Senior Peach declared that he would continue to support me, even though I was no longer a peach user. But... what can I do? I don't have the strength to fight anymore.

"... all"

Everyone in the class didn't do much damage either. Some of them bore profound burdens, and some had to be treated for long periods of time.

Because the other person is a ghost, it does not heal with normal treatment, where a method was taken to purify himself with the water gushing out of Teacher Peach's great tree and drive out the shady chi that remains in his body.

They say this treatment takes time and has a minimum duration of one month. Now we can't make it if the ghosts attack us.

……

But the ghost... Alan didn't attack. I don't know if you have any intentions, or if you can't attack me. As rumors have it, he may be suffering from a painful hand wound. It's also something that can't be healed by the properties of ghost power.

"... what would it be like for me to think about that"

Yes, it doesn't make sense anymore. Because I'm not a peach user. Because we can't protect everyone from ghosts anymore.

Pathetic to think so, pitiful... I spilled in tears.

I can't protect what's important on my own, I've turned back on myself just to be protected.

The sunset in my eyes is distorted. Am I no good anymore? Then go ahead......

Linda

I saw Elle in the street thinking about lunch, and I followed her. Instead of going out through the gate, she went out through a small, empty hole when she went to the walls.

I felt a sense of impatience in Elle's crappy atmosphere and contacted everyone in my class on the "Telepass". And hurry up and follow her.

"I can't believe there was a loophole here... it must have been Elle's fault. Oh, I'll follow you through here, too."

Back off... Gyummy! Gyummy!

"Ho!? Hey!? Did you get into this? No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Oh, my God, Elle said she went through like a naughty boy, but I got stuck near the entrance.

The cause is extremely lucid and my big butt has been rejected by this loophole. Chick-ass.

My butt has grown recently. I can't hold onto it and get through the hole. I had no choice but to go out through the gate and follow Elle.

Oh, hell of a time, L.A.!

"Yes, Elle, where are you?

I unconsciously lose sight of Elle. Still, I don't think he's going that far, but I'm worried. I checked the golden boy, who waved and ran as he moved his sight busily.

"Linda!

"Ah, Liot! Over here, over here!

Classmates Liot, Rick, Fokbert and Amanda rendezvous here. Everyone else is on their way here.

"Damn it, Elle's such a body, where are you going?"

"Don't follow me because I don't know that. You have to help them as soon as they're in danger."

Liot scratched his head and said stupidity, so I immediately embarrassed him. Well, I don't even know how he feels. But I don't. Elle's body is worn out.

Mentally, she said, is also responsible for the delay in recovery. More than that, a ghostly wound seems to be eroding her, and every day it is a life-threatening container if not bathed in the spring water of the great tree of Momosensei.

"Oh, there he is! It's the Virgin!

Rick shouted in a whisper. I admire it for being clever. We discovered Elle. We hide ourselves in the shadows.

Hey.

Nha!? A spider nest on my head!! I just washed it and no!!

"Rick, isn't Mr. Ertina the Virgin anymore? We need to call it by its proper name."

"Shut up, Amanda. Take it from me... the Virgin is all alone."

Rick was one of those things Elle wouldn't admit to having been stripped of her Virgin status. There are numerous people like him who do not acknowledge it, but since a new Virgin has already been born, this decision will not be reversed.

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter whether Elle is the Virgin or not. Elle is Elle. That's what His Highness Edward is saying, too.

He seemed compelled by the new Virgin, but he was gently putting it away. He is also one of those who believes Elle will rise again.

Conversely, Elle's parents are delighted that Elle has quit the Virgin. They always thought they didn't want her to do anything dangerous anymore.

Mr. Yash and Elle's brothers spoke fervently about protecting Elle, who had lost her abilities and become a normal girl, and even protecting this country.

As it stands, it is possible to exterminate ghosts thanks to the great tree of Momosensei. However, that is within the limits of the protection of the great tree. In other words, they can only gain the power to exorcise ghosts around Filimisia.

So they can't attack from here, and they're always going to be forced to defend themselves.

"That's dangerous...... will you be all right"

Fokbert is right, the flimsy footsteps are dangerous. But even if she says she doesn't have a right arm, what are we going to do about getting out there in danger?

"Nevertheless, where are we headed?

"... it's Mowsink Hill"

"Wow? Surprised! No more signs and don't stand behind me."

"... be careful"

Never willing to fix it. Reply. It was the black elf Hurritia who completely erased the signs and showed up behind it. She is fully armed because it means going outside.

I find it really inconvenient that "free space" is not available.

Nevertheless...... there are so many places out there that I don't think I'm the same age. Even though I know that humans and subhumans grow at different speeds, I'm in a hurry. Yeah, I wouldn't say which part.

◆ ◆ ◆

Continuing her tail for a while, she reached Mowsink Hill. This used to be the place where I came to hunt a pig called 'Hillboa' as part of my class, and the first place I encountered the Garndragon.

"Well, it was too late."

It was my classmate Seema who was on Mowsink Hill before us. I only put my upper body out of the bush and put my arms together, and I look great and fluttered.

"Ah, Seema. No way, you were wearing Elle, too?

"Don't be silly, there's no way a former senior nobleman would do such a nasty mane. This is where I got here because of my rare speculation."

To Liot's point, she denied it with a tremendous trick. Taking this trick, she is often hiding the truth. That's what everyone in the class already knows.

"... your clothes are dirty."

"Ugh, I've never been hunting since yesterday! Don't get me wrong there!?

Sheema, who was able to point out to Hurritia how the clothes were dirty and wolf, revealed information she didn't have to tell, and still blew herself up. She has another cute face that turns bright red and wolves.

"It's dangerous... on such a cliff"

"Apparently, you're looking at the town of Filimisia"

El seemed to have a view of the town of Filimisia. What does she think of watching our town dyed in the sunset? If it was her before, she would have said, "It looks like 'shrimp chili' and it looks delicious......" Now she has no shadow of the past at all.

"Oh, what if I got on so well?!?

Elle inadvertently rode herself out to the cliff. No way, the nasty feeling that you're not going to jump blurs the back of your brain. That was the same for everyone.

Where Liot was about to jump out, the motion stops. No, this was stopped.

"Don't go, lion boy"

"Si, sigurd?

It was a giant golden dragon that appeared behind us without sound. Sigurd the Angry Dragon...... He is Elle's lodging enemy and a peach user.

Scaled all over his body in gold, he stands out no matter how. How could he deceive Elle or our eyes like that?

"Whoa!? Aren't you a hardware dragon? How did you get here scratching my bright eyes?

"No scratching, I've been on this hill since the beginning. I used magic to hide myself and heal myself here."

Speaking as he meditated his eyes, Seema blued his face.

"Ma, stay... no way!?

"Um, I witnessed a boar poking me in the butt and falling off a cliff"

"Don't even say it to everyone. Ugh!

I thought, this time I turned my face bright red and began to get angry. She is a very busy daughter. I mean......

"Wow! If you shout so loud, Elle will notice!

"Welcome!?

I rush to block Seema's mouth with my hands. Hmm, pretty plump lips. I feel like I've been eating well lately and getting better meaty. Did I just say the boulder is acorn conspicuous?

"Oh man, those are the busy ladies, ZE. Peach characteristic (dispersion). I left my voice scattered, so it shouldn't have reached Ertina's daughter. Oh, and he's also spreading signs, so it's okay to make some noise, ZE? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

A light voice came out of Sigurd's mouth. It is the voice of his peach senior, Mike.

Mike is the bright, people-friendly one who changes from a strict, hard to approach sigurd.

"Hey, it's been three days, Linda, Huritya."

"Long time no see, Mr. Mike"

"... Long time no see"

Actually, me and Hulitia were meeting Sigurd and Mike personally. I happened to meet them when we were going to this moussink hill to pick the right herbs for Elle to reduce the pain in her wounds.

They said they were fighting on the same battlefield as us then. The evidence contained countless scars of vivid healing on the body.

We just had a little trouble dealing with it. That's because at the time of Tiari's liberation war, he was fighting with him. And the two of us, in flattery, have no good feelings for him.

But he lowered his back and showed us that he had no hostility. We responded to his dialogue without any resistance.

Metric...... that's no worse than Elle. Is this what Peach Piercing is all about? No, charm...... you should call it the gravitational pull that attracts people.

Ah! Now I... I think I said something very good! eheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we were hit by his charm, and we explained to them in detail about Barry and Elle.

……

Yeah, I know what you're trying to say. I'm sorry, I was stuck. This is what I am now.

"... Sigurd, what do you think of El now?

Sigurd, who was obsessed with meditating on his eyes, had a hard atmosphere to approach and talk to. Nonetheless, she spoke with dignity looking at his face.

The voice was not cloudy at all, did he admire the voice? He opened his eyes and answered her question.

"Now Ertina is... 'Once upon a time me'"

Once again, he waited for his eyes to close. Around the thought of the word now, he imagines at will what he expects from Elle.

Because Sigurd is a rival to El, who admits it to both of us.

"... yes"

Hulitia, who heard Sigurd's words, also closed the inquiry and watched Elle's trends. I don't know her better than Sigurd.

Sometimes brittle, sometimes strong will. A very strange girl.

"Ah..."

Who uttered that voice? But that didn't matter. Elle has moved on to a new action. That was enough to surprise us.

Yes, that's...
