It was a hostile moment, but it wasn't the Dark Elves who saw the worn-out Underworld and fought.
The Dark Elves went out to mourn their fallen companions, and it was me, Mr. Knock, and the Underground Man who dealt with them. Kimidrigorn is following me because I don't have a place.
"Hmm... Forest Eater!? Did you guys knock it down!?"
When one of the underground people was surprised, Knock bragged.
"The leader we worship defeated us."
And my chest tightened.
They checked until Asha's great magic exploded, and then the magic blew them up and didn't see it. Well, even if I squeak out, it doesn't make much sense, so I'll leave it there.
"What's the matter with you guys? No way... a swarm of birds came to you in the early summer and got hurt?
"Hundred people, listen to me. The Lord of the Birds did come, but he was almost eaten."
According to them, a giant lizard called human mannequins appeared, eating birds in the early summer.
Then a salme actress fought, but was unable to defeat the human money.
Salme... I'm sure he's the one who called the mediator. Did he fight himself? I didn't feel like I could fight.
No, not to mention...
"Saruma-sama...!?"
As soon as he heard it, the hundred men fell off their knees on the spot.
"That one... who cares more about the underground city than anything else is dead..."
"Hundred people, hold on tight... What's the problem?"
"I don't know if you have any more problems."
…………
And the people of the earth looked at each other.
"The human money has entered the underground city. The mountains collapsed, the city ceilings collapsed, and the Marshal ordered the evacuation of all citizens."
"The Marshal...!? Stupid! We can't live without it!
"I wish I could bury you alive!
He shook his shoulders after telling one of the underground men to bark.
"It was terrifying that the lamp broke out and the darkness... the ceiling collapsed... Thanks to the Marshal's decision, the soldiers were able to get us out with guidance....."
"... is that so?"
"We can't keep things together, so we split into three groups. But food runs out in two days a day. Anyway, I said," Go back to the underground city and get some food. "
"What about human money?
"It seems to be around the mountain. But I need someone bright and brave in geography... and the Marshal wants me to bring a hundred chiefs."
"Me?
"I was told, 'I need a hundred people who know the best about salmon right now.'"
————
Pocahontas, a hundred people long, but with a complicated face,
"... well, did the Marshal know about him and me..."
I snapped.
"One Hundred Chiefs"
After being stranded by the people of the earth, the hundred men braced themselves and worried for a while,
"Hmm... I thought you said knock."
"Yes, da."
Then the head of the hundred men rubbed his forehead when he touched the ground.
"I know you can't ask me to do this! But please, can you help me!? Underground species will be extinct!
They seemed a little overwhelmed, but one after the other, they sat down for a hundred people.
…………
Mr. Knock turned to me and said he didn't know what to do.
You're in trouble, right? Suddenly, you can sit down.
"--I asked Punta. You broke bird eggs in the early summer, were attacked by birds, and tried to impersonate our dark elf colony."
It was the chief who came. Over there, a muddy Punta is looking at us.
And the hundred men lifted up their faces, and put something into their mouths, and pulled their mouths together,
"That's right..."
I told her to squeeze it out.
"How dare you help us by doing so much damage?
"... yes. But..."
The head of a hundred people rubs his forehead on the ground again.
"I know this is a good thing to do... if it's my life! I don't care what you do! No matter how you tear it apart, no matter how badly you get killed...! So, please, just a little help... please, give me a hand..."
The chief of the clan smiled at the hundred chiefs who asked him in trembling.
"Face up. How many underground people do you have? My people are confused."
"But...."
I'll give you a hand.
"--Eh!?"
Hundreds of chiefs wake up surprised at the words of unexpected chiefs.
"I heard from Punta. Even though you said you should leave, you scolded Punta and brought him here. It is possible that the egg broke and was marked by the bird in the early summer when Punta entered the" egg storage area ".... You are also a benefactor of Punta."
"Well, that's... nothing..."
"You weren't thinking of a rush, were you? I never saved Nicki. People manifest their nature in extreme conditions. In that regard, you are not a complete villain."
…………
"Besides, this is not my personal decision. Our beloved High Elf commander."
Uh, I thought it was Anastasia--
"Mr. Reggie!
When I woke up, Asha ran and grabbed my face with both hands. [M]
"Ah, oh, it's real, it's real Reiji....!
Ai, ihihafu
"Sorry!
Asha, who turned bright red with her hands off, has a better blood color. The magic is back.
"... uh, Asha. Are you sure? Helping the Underworld?"
Asha nodded when I asked. [M]
"Yes, our elf species will help the Underworld. Instead -- there's one exchange."
Asha, who opened her mouth, seemed to have changed a lot in just a few moments.
In exchange, the underground people who heard about the conditions will harden.
"... to shed all their grudges in the water, to respect each other's existence, to cooperate and to live. Can you protect it?
I feel a majesty that doesn't seem to be a 14-year-old girl, and even I have goosebumps.
Beginning with a hundred men, the people of the earth wept at the corner of their eyes and drooped their heads.
"I will protect you. I will always keep that promise!!"
Thus, the Dark Elves and the Underworld made a covenant (...) to permanently honor and help each other's species.
