Episode One Hundred Seventy-Six: A Little War

In the end, the war with the Dwarves came to be today two days later.

... True, oops.

No, there should be no war, naturally, just the mercenaries when they make money if there's someone waiting for them.

But I wanted it to just start this time.

Because until then, me and Chevalt had been interrupted by Roofigia's house...

Schwartz's baking was halfway there...

It's natural to try to break into the bathroom, and the meal is, uh, the end of trying to follow me to the bathroom.

... For a long time, my favorite caregiver has been giving me a lot of things, but it hasn't been this bad.

I don't know...... I feel your caretaker grill has accelerated rapidly since you put on the collar of a slave.

... After all, was it a mistake?

That's why I flew out of Luffigia's house and joined the march.

"... I think you could have slowed it down a little bit."

Schwart walking behind me seems unhappy. [M]

No, I was at the limit of continuing to run...

"Truth is, if you get so busted at home, you won't be able to. Besides, aren't you guys really dating? He just seemed flirtatious."

He looked tired and Luffygear said as well.

No, I may not have known because I was smiling all the time, but I was dealing with Schwart with a desperate form inside.

... and well, we had such a relaxing conversation just before the war.

Sometimes that means me and Chevalt are just watching the fight behind us.

Of course, it's definitely not on the battlefield, so it's easier than the elves we bump into from the start, even though we can think of fighting.

Apart from that, the reason we are relaxed is the small scale of this war.

About a hundred people are coming out of the elves.

Dwarves aren't much different, either.

... This is no longer a shitty thing called war, but a level of skirmishing between races, right?

"Well, if the Elves and Dwarves fight for the survival of the species, then it will be a great war, won't it? But this battle is only about the deep green forest, right? When you do, you'll settle for something that ends up in a deep green forest alone."

Roofygear says as if he was stunned.

I guess that's why she goes out on the battlefield, too, very carelessly.

"Even so, battle is battle. The elves and dwarves in these woods are not compatible, so they can be quite intense."

Roofie gear that sighs so much.

Yeah... is that what it looks like...?

Elders often try to drive me and Chevalt into battles like that, don't they?

Well, me and Chevalt aren't willing to fight, so we just have to get the elves to do something about it.

"I won't bother you any more.... because if you ask the master for anything more, it's time for Chevalt to kill you"

Roofigia laughed nicely and said.

... I hope so.

The march of the elves stopped where they had opened.

Until now, it was through a path full of trees worthy of being named the Deep Green Forest, but this place was perfectly open to sight, with rocky skin, ground, and so forth.

And the mountains where my skin was sticking out were standing.

"This is the mine where the Dwarves live. It's a good place to get quality ore."

Heh...

Roofygear tells me, but I'm not interested in blah blah blah.

Well, I guess so.

Because he was brought to war with some sort of mysterious argument, "The One Who Brings Destruction".

"Oh, you're out."

When you look at the mine, a straw and a small body emerge from within.

It is sluggish, and the small but apparent muscles are completely more developed than that of the elves.

Oh... are they the dwarves in this forest? Long time no see......

When the Dwarves come out, the air that has drifted between the elves also changes spiritually.

They stare at each other, and nobody speaks alone.

"Ooh, ooh! The woodland drawstrings are all over the place... what can I do for you, ahhh!?

At that time, there was a man coming out of between the Dwarves.

Oops... and I was surprised to widen my eyes a little.

Because the man who came out was different from the other Dwarves.

His body drew a line with the others, though his muscles were no different from those of the other dwarves in his mojah and his mustache.

Ordinary human...... no, it's a little bigger than that, and it's not beaten by the long elves either.

One man also walks out of the elf side, as he responds.

Looks like he's close to a senate member, says Roofigia.

"What can I do for you!? We've come to bring down the hammer of justice to fools who can't even keep the truce!

He has been furious since the beginning.

Wow... doesn't this have feelings for Dwarf that are no longer close to hatred?

... Is that it? Isn't that good for me and Chevalt?

If we get into a brawl, we'll have a better chance of getting involved, right?

"In our elf realm, come up with dirty earthfoot... Huh! Once you miss what you did, you break in over and over and over... shame on you!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

A big dwarf laughs at the words of the elf, which came out a step ago.

That was so much as a cheeky voice in my ear as a thunderbolt.

"... the first time I stole an ore from a mine, you guys would want to!! How dare you say that!? Aren't you ashamed...?

"What are you talking about!?

"Ha! Are you going to blur... Did you think one or two wouldn't work? Live with the mine, don't lick us dwarves!!

"Say what! Haven't you gone away with the fruits and nuts that are our blessings in the woods! Don't bullshit and try to justify our actions!!

The cursing of elves and dwarves continues.

Fighting and hostility begin to be perceived from the bodies of other elves and dwarves listening to this.

But I really don't feel like we're talking about each other.

Somehow, he seems to think he retaliated because he was harmed by both of them.

... Well, is this what war is all about?

"It doesn't make any sense if we're talking about it any more."

"Oh."

The air flow changes again.

The dwarves and the elves each possess a weapon.

When the blank time passes and I take a breath too...

"Do it!!

"Kill him!!

The war began.
