Master of the brave.

"I'm so sorry! You made it better for me."

"Well, that's enough. More than that, are you sure you're going? The... to Elf Country?

To Celi, who bowed her head over and over again, Randell, the master of the 'Migratory Bird Inn' pavilion, gave a worrying look to the face that people seemed to have good looks on.

Elf capital - Ernasa at the foot of the world tree.

Seli wants to go there.

When asked why, Celi's acquaintance happened to help the severely injured elf, so Celi became acquainted with the elf. And the elf said he also knew the father of the deceased Celi.

What he says is that the young trees of the world trees that the elves have defended have been destroyed by demons and will be in great trouble if they remain intact. They have to go to the Elf Capital as soon as possible and tell the High Elves and the Great Sage who will hit the Elves' royalty.

Seli wants to help with the journey.

Randell initially wondered if Seli had even caused the elf man a temporary loss of mind, but Seli shook her head to the side.

"In that person's story, my father said that in his lifetime, his grandfather and grandmother lived there. I'm going to go tell him that my father is dead."

In Celi's eyes, who replied so, there was something like a feeling of anticipation for her relatives that she had yet to see.

I can't help it.

One day, suddenly, he lost his father and mother and became lonely all his life.

Perhaps I can't help but want to see my grandparents when I hear that's far away.

"But... are you okay with that? We're in business with adventurers, so... even if Celi enters the Elf Capital..."

What Randell is worried about is that Celi's ears are different from people's.

Half elf.

Being born between man and elf.

Neither man nor elf are they excluded from either of those beings.

Many half-ells unfamiliar with people and elves lead the lives of migratory birds who never settle, such as adventurers, mercenaries and pedestrians.

The people at the "Migratory Bird Inn" pavilion often deal with adventurers, so they have no aversion to half an elf. Naturally, so are the guests that Seli is dealing with.

Fortunately, in the village of Doria, his hometown, Seli was not expelled because the magic and knowledge of his father, the elf, contributed to the development of the village.

But the elves aren't.

When Doria's village was actually burned, only one fled, and Seli fled into the woods and was caught by the elves.

And they put me in a stone jail.

If the Winns hadn't visited at that time, they would have stayed imprisoned in stone cells all the time, or they could have lost their lives at worst.

Elves hate half elves until then because many of the reasons they are born are abominations due to unfortunate instances where a human man is born attacking an elf woman.

A half-elf celi goes to a place full of such racial sentiment, he says.

I can't help but worry about Randall.

But Celi smiled at Randell like that.

"It's okay. An elf named Mr. Liesbert would like to join you. And Mr. Abel will accompany you."

"Oh, Father. Don't worry, I'm here! Leave it to me!

Next to Celli, Abel, dressed in leather armor and pulling a similar brand new sword to her waist, which had yet to be used, had her chest slapped with a dong.

Abel offered to accompany Celi, who was with Leeds Belt, a warrior of warring elves manipulating magic and swords, but who was also looking for adventurers as escorts on the road.

Even as a celi, if Abel, the second son and acquaintance of the 'Migratory Bird Inn' pavilion, without prejudice to the half elf, was happy to receive the offer without any particular objection.

But...

"You've come home worn out during this time..."

"That's right, I can't believe you're an adventurer... your mother can't believe it. Hey, it's not too late. Why don't you stop?

Looks like Randell can't help but see Abel.

Sweet Hannah on Abel doesn't just worry her son won't be vulnerable to danger on the road.

He said, "It's okay! Father, Auntie. I leveled up even more with that experience. Even the Adventurer's Guild is being treated as a single person."

"Really? I hope so..."

Randell sees his confident son's face and clouds his words.

The Simurgh Adventurer Guild East Branch, where Abel is in and out, was told by customers that the currently skilled ones are paying for a special assignment from the Guild.

In other words, at a time when Abel is in this town without taking up that task, I can guess a lot, but is it kind of you not to talk about it?

(I don't know what my parents say, but I don't think this guy will ever grow up to be an adventurer.)

To Elf's capital, Ernassa, lies the great forest that leads through the kingdom of Lyon and through the kingdom of Calciato and the Temple of Emerdia.

It will be a long journey.

Travelling abroad with different terroirs is more harsh than you can imagine.

However, there was reason to come from the intention as to why Randell, who was opposed to Abel becoming an adventurer, did not oppose Abel accompanying him on this journey.

That's because the purpose of the journey is not rough things like demonic extermination, but to escort Seli to Hernassa.

There are dangers such as bandits, beasts and demons on the journey, but it seems that Elf warriors will accompany him, and Randell, who is opposed to Abel eventually becoming an adventurer, expects Abel to give up knowing the adventurer's reality on this journey.

"Look, Celi. You're going with care, aren't you? Just so you can come back whenever you want, I'll leave the cabin in the courtyard here properly vacated."

"Yes, thank you. Mr. Randell."

"Well, maybe the cabin doesn't have a job anyway."

That's what I'm gonna say and arm you, Hannah.

"Damn, I can work alone now, but I have to hire someone again..."

Exhale and Hannah let Seli hold a small bag in her hand.

"Goodbye."

Randell looked a little unexpected, but when Celi opened the bag and looked at the contents, she let her face down.

There are also a few silver and gold coins inside.

"You don't get me wrong, do you? You, you got more work to do than I thought from the start. When I recalculated my work during the apprenticeship period, the amount of salary I would pay was just different."

"Thank you. Mr. Hannah."

Seri bows her head.

Apparently, he noticed that Randell had seen herself, and Hannah turned away as the bat looked bad.

"Hey, Abel."

It was Mark who replaced Hannah and came forward.

Unlike when it was the heads of the children, Mark, who is planted as the owner of the inn, neatly as a cook under his father Randell, looks down at his brother Abel with his brother's face.

"Hey, what the..."

Abel takes a step back when he is looked down.

Actually, Mark is in better shape than Abel, who is an adventurer.

My arms were surprisingly thick, as my back length was high, similar to Randell's, and I also waved a heavy pot with one hand every day.

And Abel, who has never been able to beat her brother in a fight since childhood, had something to give way to against Mark for the sadness he was born into.

"You'll soon be on track to do something ironless. Look, your job is to take Mr. Seri back to Elf country. You got it?

"I know... Oh, my brother is also talking about my father and my mum... please don't"

After such a brotherly interaction, when he finished his farewell greetings again, Celi and Abel were dropped off by the people at the 'Migratory Bird Inn' pavilion to leave Simlug behind.

The accompanying Leesbelt had been asked to wait outside the door of Simlug for the reason that it stood out that there was an elf in the town.

In the past few days, I see the knights, not the guards, standing on the town corner here and there in Simlug.

Even as Celi and Abel tried to leave Simlug, their identities were examined more rigorously than usual.

Seli, a half-elf, was particularly rigorously identified, but Seli has properly paid civil taxes to obtain Simurgh citizenship.

Of course it led to Abel being born and raised in Shimlug and even having a certificate from the Shimlug Adventurer Guild, so the two of them came out of the gate.

When I went outside the exterior walls, people like merchants, adventurers and mercenaries dressed in travel clothes were tented and cooked in mixed with the poor cabins and people in the slums.

From their faces filled with dust and dirt from their long journeys, they can see not only intense fatigue but also frustration. A representative of the merchant corps, who was able to follow many carriages, was also seen eating and hanging by the knight being questioned.

"It's been so rigorously investigated since we were at war with demons, huh? I wonder what happened?

"Rumor has it there's been a rebellion on the border?

Apparently, those who tend outside were like those awaiting questioning.

Travelers were exchanging information between themselves and each other while driving away begging slum dwellers.

Trying to sew between them like that, Celi and Abel hurried to walk.

A young, beautiful daughter who came out of the gates of the town that she couldn't get through, even though she finally arrived.

Desolators such as adventurers and mercenaries who did not enter the town and continued to sunlight women sent a licking glance at Celi.

Celli and Abel were both heartfelt when they finally joined Leeds Belt, who had been waiting because they continued to be exposed to their shivering gaze.

Leesbelt hid a long ear that was characteristic of the Elves in the hood and wrapped his body around a travel jacket, but the signs surrounding him were not the only one.

With Celi joining Leesbelt, those who were sending her a humble glance gave up with tongue-beating.

Though I still can't get into town, eventually the time will come to let me in.

Where we fought with those who obviously think we can stand up here, they have no interest.

The three walked out with their backs to Simlug.

'Are you sure it was a good idea?

As soon as he walked out, Leesbelt's elf-specific light water-colored eyes looked straight into Celi's eyes and said:

'Yes, because I wanted to take a look at your father's town of birth once too'

"Right."

"Mr. Liesbert, is it okay if you're injured?

'Almost no more problems. Don't worry - if you're in a fight, you'll need him to do his best.'

The back and right arm lacerations Leeds Belt suffered are already blocked, but if he moves his muscles, he still feels uncomfortable pulling them.

The broken left arm remains fixed with a side tree.

Even if the bones stick together, it will take longer for the muscles of the decayed left arm to return to normal. Until then, you have to fight with one right arm.

Most importantly, Leeds Belt, an exceptional swordsman and magician, was confident to kick some ass if he was a covert burglar or a demon to the extent of a goblin.

When Leesbelt dropped his gaze on his unfettered left arm and glanced at him, he turned his attention to Abel, who looked so troubled that he couldn't keep up with the conversation because he was talking in Elf from earlier.

When Celi preached Leesbelt's words in people's words, he let his face shine all the time. And I strained and put my hand on a sword that was strapped to my hips.

What an emotionally legible young man.

Watching such an innocent young man, Leesbelt remembers the young men in the back who were his men.

A skeletal demon clan wrapped around his temper.

It was ravaged before overwhelming power and killed carelessly.

Once his eyes closed tightly and opened again, Leesbelt walked ahead of Celli and Abel with a powerful foothold.

(Must hurry)

The young trees of the world tree that the inside had protected were dried up and smashed to explode in front of the half-dead Leeds Belt.

The young trees of the world trees grown from the roots of the world trees strewn out on the earth supply this world with new spirits and magic.

I don't know what the Demons planned to wither the world tree to death, but if we leave the young trees of the world tree alone, the surrounding forests and life will eventually go mad and become the forests inhabited by distracted plants and demons.

Before that happened, it was necessary to go to the capital of the elves and tell the High Elves, noble species of the Elves, and the Great Sage Tiara Sculls Verfa.

According to information Celi has heard, the brave Mavis is also on his way to the kingdom of Lyon, which is the passage.

I would also like to tell the brave man about this.

If the Demons are involved, it is likely that the power of the brave will also be needed.

"Totally... It would be easier if the Gate could be used..."

'Huh?'

'Nothing. I'm talking to myself...'

The Gate is a form of metastatic magic applied to young trees of the world tree. Using the world tree and the young trees of the world tree connected with each other at their roots, they can be transferred from the Gate to the Gate in an instant.

Because of the use of the Gate to and from other parts of his companion, now that the young trees inside were gone, it was also an extreme source of resentment that he could not understand the position of the other parts of the house and had to go the way of others.

In Leesbelt, which only speaks elf, people are also reluctant to seek accommodation and food. So I was really lucky to meet Celi following me from behind.

Thanks to the seri that manipulated the words of man and the words of elves, Leesbelt, who lost everything he owned as well as the inside and his compatriots, was able to buy all the things necessary for his journey and so on in the town of man.

It's a pity, but until we find Hernassa or her compatriots, we'll probably rely on Seri as well.

Then I have to do everything in my power to protect her.

The Elves abhor half elves.

Seli may see the reality when she arrives in Elf's capital, Ernassa.

But from such malice, Leesbelt swore to his heart that he would make sure to protect Seli.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The unique air, where the smell of mold and damp soil mixed, eventually became less concerned about whether the nose had gotten used to it.

Even when the two back-length oats and wedges stood on the abandoned pit road, they were tall enough to walk at sufficient leisure.

The width is also wide enough for five to six adults to walk side by side.

However, the support resistance made of wood supporting the weak areas of the rock beds was corroded and cracks were running or broken because of the years, and the row was proceeding within the abandoned pit road with due care.

Winn is walking at the end of the party, just like he did when he climbed the mountain path.

The difference was I was walking in a row on the mountain road, but now it's where Leticia walks next door?

The lights are out of bars that grant Light Source Magic. Winn had also asked Leticia to grant him a magical light.

The Light Source Magic is one of the initial magics, which can be used by almost anyone who is a knight, but does not use pine lighting because it can react with extremely rare burning air and cause a huge explosion.

It was something that I had already found out when I camped last night, but fortunately this abandoned path had not become a nest hole for demons, bears and other beasts like Goblins and Kobolts.

In the abandoned pit road, where the Light Source Magic illuminates, bats hanging on the ceiling occasionally seem annoyingly winged by sudden intruders, and I don't see anything moving.

However, there may be vipers and the like that feed the bats, and there may be demons nesting elsewhere because this is not the only way in and out of the abandoned pit road.

Without alarm, Wynn walked under his feet illuminating with lights.

"Ugh... that's disgusting ~"

"Really? Bats look adorable when you look closely, don't they?

Cornelia and Lino walking in the middle of the party having such a conversation.

"Why are these guys hanging upside down? Why are they so stiff?"

Lino whispering disgustingly.

"If you go in the back, you'll be gone. Until then, patience."

As the wedge walking in front of the Winns said, she dropped her shoulders and turned her attention to the bird cage Cornelia was holding.

"... you're cute even though you're the same chicken compared to those guys ~?"

Only Cornelia walked with a bird basket filled with golden yarn sparrows, without the bar slice to which the Light Source Magic was granted.

Always whimpering, the Golden Thread Sparrows knew that when they detected the anomaly, they would stop ringing, and the oats, who had made exploration of the ruins and untouched land a business, bought it in the Eltz Adventurer's Guild.

Cornelia holds the Golden Thread Sparrow because even when she encounters a variety of demons, she never comes forward aggressively. You can also hang the magic of "Silence" on a cage of golden yarn sparrows to turn off the chirping sound.

The moat marks also shake loosely with eight figures on the vivid rock walls.

Wet rock walls with stained groundwater were glowing.

As we proceeded along the wooden planks laid for the trolley to the back of the abandonment action, the downhill eventually began to continue and branches and so forth appeared.

Looking back, naturally, outside the range illuminated by Winn's "Light Source Magic" was closed to darkness, and Winn felt like he was about to be dragged into the abyss.

"Looks like there's a little open up ahead."

I heard Lewis walking in the lead.

"Right. Do you want to take a light meal break around?"

All sighed in unison, Oldt said.

Winn and Leticia also laugh at each other face to face after sighing at each other.

"You're more tired than I thought."

"I know exactly how mentally tired it is to not see the sky or the surrounding scenery."

As Winn turned his neck and said, Leticia nodded.

Then Leticia took out a copy of the map.

Winn illuminates Leticia's hand with Light Source Magic.

"Looking at the map, is this where you opened it? Looks like it's going down from here."

"I haven't even met a demon at the moment, and I think it's slipping out of order."

But that win's aspirations will be broken in just a few seconds.

Inside the narrow abandoned pit road, a sharp voice echoed calling attention to Lewis and Rock walking ahead, and Winn and Leticia rushed to the bottom of their fellow travelers rushing ahead.
