I managed to get an explanation.

We all owe it to Finia.

I can only thank you.

I would like to thank you again when everything has settled down.

To be able to do so.....

First of all, we need to explain this to Elfin and convince him that we are not hostile.

"In the first place, the cause of this incident is...."

Look at Lean and Monica that Sakura has captured and tell them they're responsible for everything.

Then, Lean was in a hurry and called out to me with a smile.

"Hey, Rain. It's not bad. You're one of us, right? Even though we've been having a hard time together, I can't believe you're only trying to help yourself by selling me like that...."

Lean's not one of us.

"Nh...!

You're whispering sweet words to buy my sympathy.

Alternatively, he is trying to avoid being punished by misleading Elfin that he is with me.

I'm trying to take you along.

What a poor quality.

For Elfin, who doesn't know Lean, the word may be taken to be true.

Even if I desperately deny it, they might take me for selling my people to save their lives.

"... hmm"

Elfin saw Lean first.

After staring at me for about 30 seconds, you'll look at me again.

After watching for about 30 seconds as well, she opens her mouth small.

"The man you're capturing... you have the eyes of someone I know very well. Cloudy, starchy, foolish eyes who think only of themselves. You're probably right."

"Well then...."

"However, the next chief, Finia, was temporarily exposed, and furthermore imitated as mud to interact with the werewolves. I can't make a decision on my own. We also need to hear the opinions of our brethren."

"That's right... yes"

"I... will testify that you are not my enemy."

"Ah...."

"Don't get me wrong. I didn't believe everything about you. As usual, humans are enemies. But... the power that changed Finia. And ready to dedicate yourself to that. I can't do everything... but you can trust me for a little bit."

"Thank you."

A little, but I managed to gain trust.

Keep it this way....

I want to do my best to grow up and be able to trust you a lot one day.

In order to do this, we must first solve the misunderstanding of the whole Fernbird clan, not just Mr Elfin.

Offer Lean and Monica, the real killers.

It's like a sacrifice....

Well, you deserve it.

It'll only end badly, but I'll let you give it up.

Given what we have done so far, there is no room for sympathy.

"Hey, don't joke!? You're offering me to save yourself!? He's not one of us! What a terrible betrayal! I'll never forgive you! Hey, don't ignore me.

The routine was bad, and Lean was screaming.

Until now, I've done all kinds of things on my own....

Did you really believe that you would not receive the reward at all?

In that case, I'm stunned by my anger.

How selfish is Lean?

……

Still... Monica is quiet, isn't she?

It doesn't change your expression in particular, but it keeps you calm.

Did you give up?

Or are you thinking of a lot of alternatives behind the scenes without upsetting them?

"... no. Wait, is this...?

Am I missing something serious?

I feel vague anxiety and doubt.

To solve that, I went to Monica....

"Long, tough!

The door of the room burst open, and a family of immortal birds showed up.

She is sweating on her forehead and is in a terrible hurry.

"What's wrong, it's noisy?"

"I'm sorry. But it's an emergency....."

"... did something happen?

"A monster suddenly appeared in the residential area....."

"Excuse me!?

Did I do this? With that feeling, Elfin looks at us.

I shook my neck in a hurry.

"Four layers of monsters came up?

"Yes, no. That's not true. It was temporarily open for the race, but now it's tightly blocked as usual. Also, according to the witness, a monster suddenly appeared from nowhere....."

"That's...."

Exactly the same phenomenon we encountered during the race.

The killer of that case is probably Lean.

But this is how Lean's got us now.

In that case, the potential killer is someone else....

"No way...!?

I looked at Lean in a hurry.

Lean's face... smiled like she was doing it.

"Oops, what did you do!?

"Well, I don't know what's going on... but I'll tell you what's going on. I installed a time-bound monster summoning device."

"When will that happen....."

"It was really easy. Not much alert, and all you can do is trespass. Even though I hated people and dragged them into my depths, I can't believe I forgot my vigilance with them. Or do you think they're the strongest species, so they don't have any enemies? Ahahaha, well done."

"... can I burn that person?

"I know how you feel, but wait a minute."

I'd like to agree with Elfin at once, but that's no good.

I mean, it's still early.

If Lean was responsible for this, there must be a way to accommodate it.

Otherwise, I won't say what I did.

"How can we stop the monster's summoning device?

"Well, how was it? If you're in custody, you can't think of anything properly, and you need to let me go first."

"Insurance when you get caught...."

It's a little hard to think about how intuitive Lean was thinking and acting on the rest.

So... is that someone's wisdom?

Monica is suspicious, but I don't have time to pursue that right now.

"What is the status quo, such as enemy forces?

"What? Why would I catch someone..."

"We'll talk about that later. Tell him."

"Ha, ha, ha."

You look suspicious, but with a word from Elfin you can move on.

Thank you.

"As it stands, monsters of C-B rank are appearing next to each other... so many, I can't suppress them. Also, the location is bad. Because of the residential area, it is a battle while protecting children and the elderly, and I can't control it with all my might....."

"You're being forced into a struggle... I see, I understand the current situation."

Mr Elfin has a bitter face.

Then he walks to Lean, creates a flame in his hand, and points it at him.

"You said it was you, right? Put it down at once. Otherwise, I'll bake it."

"... you'll never be able to stop me without me. It's a small hole now, but once it's activated, it spreads more and more over time. The number of monsters will increase, and even more powerful monsters may invade."

……

"If you're gonna let me go, don't even think about it.

"... cum"

Elfin has such a noisy face that she wants to burn and kill Lean, but she can't do it.

If Lean's words are true, we can't take them lightly.

If the monsters are set to gush out in the middle of nowhere and only Lean can stop them... out.

In this situation... what should I do?
