Near Dark Elf Settlement
"Hurry! That early summer bird herd is unusual!
Knock lifted this up and scolded a force of 10.
But the fatigue of the crew who kept moving from early morning to sunset, and even stretched their nerves to avoid fighting fierce monsters as much as possible, was limitless - an extra 30 minutes of full-blown running here was still insufficient for their hearts and lungs to function at full capacity.
"No, knock, I can't do it anymore...."
"Just run! The herd is headed for the settlement!
Knock was the only one with the best health, so he ran for the head of his unit.
About 30 minutes ago, I found a flock of early summer birds flying over the sky. As soon as I realized it was heading towards the settlement, a bad feeling crawled up Knock's spine.
"I know, I know, but I'm exhausted, and even if I get there, I can't fight...!
Nooo!
The fluidity came to mind, but he was right.
"Now, go ahead, knock...."
"Okay!
Knock runs out in the wind as if the speed he was running until then were a joke.
The officers had no choice but to abandon their backs.
(What the hell. No way, there's no such thing as an idiot who put his hand on a bird in the early summer....)
Fifteen minutes after that, Knock saw the light ahead.
A swarm of swirling early summer birds was certainly above the settlement. My liver has chilled. Not only are there people there, but there are even high elves.
Running in a hurry —— but after a while, an incredible flame sprayed up, like the earth was throwing up in the sky, spreading birds in the early summer.
At last something terrible has happened.
Knock runs with all his might, runs, reaches —— there it is.
"Nah... what?
The sky is dark in the woods as long as there are only leftovers.
But there are still flame marks everywhere, illuminating the land of the big trees with the settlements.
The dark elves were off their foreheads.
In the middle of it -- there was only one high-elf standing up. Put your eyebrows in a Ha shape somewhere in trouble.
I did it. I did it. No, maybe I did.
Anastasia looked up at the sky as if she was relieved to scatter birds in the early summer while retaining her magic.
I exposed the worst part of myself. "Flame", which everyone in the Elf Forest hates, is its user.
I was ready to curse my hateful gaze. But it would certainly be hard if you were prepared to bump into it. Anastasia slowly layers her armor on her heart like she layers her clothes on a mid-winter shield.
Hahaha!
The chief first knelt down, threw his hands forward, and put his forehead on the ground.
The other Dark Elves who saw it also moved.
The Dark Elves are radially offset from the forehead, mainly from Anastasia.
"... eh?
"Great High Elves! I didn't know you were more royal, so I apologize!
Huh?
"We can't even offer you an amulet in a lowly place, and I am very afraid to bother the royal hand. However, I can feel the magic of the royal family. It is a great honor to be in this!
Pocahontas.
It's not what I thought it would be.
"Ah, um... I was defeated with Fire Magic ."
"I've burned my eyes so hard!
"Um, it's hard to talk, so can you raise your face?
"We're afraid too."
"Ah, that's enough, please raise your face...."
All of them raised their faces at once, and with a strange voice, a fluorescent flame flew.
Everyone is watching Anastasia. Keep the dirt on your forehead.
"Ah, you know..."
It is difficult to open your mouth against a pushing silence.
"I'm not a gift, I'm a natural Fire Magic user, so...."
It's still hard to calm down.
"Well, uhh... I thought maybe everyone didn't like it..."
"No? I am afraid, my royal lord, that I do not understand the doubts, and I am desperate for my low comprehension."
I really want you to stop saying that.
"Fire... will burn the woods"
"Yes, of course."
The chief still said, "I don't know."
"But you can't live without fire."
The simple words struck Anastasia's chest.
You cannot live without fire. Exactly.
It is used for cooking, disinfecting, and warming.
I don't think you can accept it so honestly —— and then I feel like tears coming out of my mind as I gently swell up warm emotions.
(These people are different from the inhabitants of the "Elf Forest" I know... Reggie, I was accepted)
Anastasia wanted to tell Raige as soon as possible.
I want to know how happy you were. How relieved I am.
"Royalty! Lead us!
At the same time, the dark elves lost their foreheads.
Speaking of what he said, he was a great leader of the elves.
So what do we do?
"Nah... what?
I heard a voice. Knock is back.
Anastasia feels relieved, but remembers.
"Ah! Nicki!?"
When Nicki went to see the fallen tree, Punta was unconscious and rolling at its root, beside a bandaged Nicki and a large underground person who was stretching.
"This guy....!
"Stop"
The chief stops one of the Dark Elves from pulling out his dagger.
Underground people, uh, breathing.
"... the brave man is seriously injured, but your buddy's appearance is slow... if my allowance is delayed, it would have been bad."
The word hero was perfect for Nicki, even from Anastasia's point of view.
The Underground Man's hands were bloody, and there was a bottle of medicine rolling around.
There is no doubt that he treated me.
"Why are you...? Before that, why are you here with Mr. Punta?
When Anastasia asked, her collapsed hundred-length eyes glimmered with fear.
The Dark Elves obeyed Anastasia without question, but he would have looked terrible to the Underworld.
Anastasia's heart, floating with relief and emotion, felt tight.
I'm going to have to ask him a lot of questions.
