Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 412 Absence Trial
With us on our asses to be distracted, King Elf rises up and heads to the door with Tsukatsuka. A meek follows behind it. The story unfolds too rapidly to keep up with my thoughts, but for now, I try to follow you both.
"It's useless. They're here."
Stop us with a serious look like Meek has never seen before. And they left the room early enough.
……
I look out at the door where the two of them left with a pocan look on my face. I knew you wouldn't close the door, and Sidi's gonna hold my hand. She nods slowly, staring into my eyes.
……
"I'm thinking dirty again!
Suddenly he got mad at me. Dirty means hello. He's staring at me with his moist eyes, so much so that I thought you might want me to kiss him a little bit. Sidi has been leaning against me with her hands on her hips, angry with a prick.
"It's not, let's go after it too!
"Oh... right. If you leave Meek alone, it'll suck."
"I don't think so, and I think we should go, too. I feel like I'm going to be treated like a bad guy when I'm here."
I couldn't drink enough of Sidi's words, but I got up and headed to the door and left the room behind.
As you go down the long corridor, you can feel the atmosphere of being bothered. Not that I can hear anything, but as I walked forward, I could clearly feel that unvoiced blurring.
After walking for a while, I saw the door in front of me. I hesitated a little but grabbed the door handle and slowly pushed it open.
... There was a large gathering of elves in front of me. And everyone was looking at me. I stiffen with the door open. I see a chair in front of me. It's probably King Elf sitting there, or no doubt. Apparently, that hallway led to a room with a throne.
There was a meek right behind the chair, and when he noticed us, he looked up.
Moving his gaze to the left, an elf with only his neck out of the chair was looking at us. When his eyes met, he gave a giddy look and immediately made sure he jumped out of the chair and left.
Go back to your room.
Keeping his mouth open with King Elf facing forward. As I was solidifying without knowing what to do, an old elf who had refrained before the king pointed at me with an angry look on his face.
……
……
……
Watching the movement of the assembled elves, I can see that they do not utter words but say something to the king.
"What is this... Could it be that because you let us into this castle, there's been a murder... are you saying something like that?
"Sounds like it."
Squirting as Sidi snickered her face out of my armpit. She also observes the movements of the elves as she moves her eyes vigorously up, down, left and right. Moving his gaze, Meek is shaking his head as he grinds his temples.
"Meek, are you okay?
She's waving a flickering hand at my voice. You want to say it's okay, but no matter what you look at it, it doesn't look okay.
"... what the hell is going on"
"Apparently, you're saying that Mr. Layla was killed because we came here. No, rather, you seem to think we killed Mr. Leila."
"No, it won't be possible. We've always acted with someone with Meek and Elf Kings. There wouldn't have been a time to kill an elf. We have the perfect alibi."
"Alibi?"
"... properly, someone will testify that we didn't kill the elves"
"Right. Hi, looks like King Elf is telling us we're not the killers. The words, on the contrary, seem to be oiling the fire into the wrath of the elves"
Siddie is still moving his face up, down, left and right to observe the elves. There are hundreds of elves gathered in front of the king, so much so that there is no room for cone in the small room. As usual, I don't utter words, but when I look at my hands up and pointing at us at times, I know they're pretty angry, and the vibe seems so unpleasant that I can't describe it in words. I want to get away from this place as soon as possible, but they don't.
"Apparently, you're telling me to kill us."
Watching how the elves are, Sidi is squealing a noisy word. Why should we be killed?
"The elves were killed because we came here. A non-elf race came in here, killing an important compatriot...... When a non-elf race enters, misfortune always occurs, so quickly banish the man and the girl... rather than kill them here."
"No, no, it's lame, but it is. Absenteeism trial. Aren't we looking for the killer first?
"Right, you're totally shifting responsibilities"
"Quiet, all of you!
Suddenly, I hear a shout with a man. When I see it, King Elf is up from his chair.
"First, the prerequisite is to find out who killed Leila. I command you all. Kill Leila and find her."
"... apparently, King Elf was dared to speak out in order to make us listen"
There is so much silence in the room that Sidi's voice squeaking with a small voice echoes. Apparently, he is overwhelmed by the king's majesty.
"I'm so glad Sidi's here."
"Shh! Shut up!
I was rejected as much as I wanted. Heco mu...... Seriously heck...... Surprisingly, you don't like me?
Without looking at me like that, Sidi is observing the elves. Then, earlier, an elf sitting next to the king, somewhat waving his palm to the ceiling, left and right.
I wondered if that was a signal or if a few elves had entered before the king. I barely walked through it and came to us. One of them suddenly grabs Siddie's arm and tries to drag him out.
"No, it hurts!
"Do what!
Unexpectedly, I pay for the elves. He turned his gaze at the area my hand touched and wiped his hand over and over as if he had touched something dirty, wondering if he had given him a surprised look. Reminds me of a nasty girl in middle school. Something irritates me.
I hide her on my back as I try to stay calm. Having grabbed Siddie, the elf goes back down as he grabs his own hand. Another elf stands forward to replace it. He holds a dagger in his hand. Apparently, he's going to kill me.
……
A dagger can be protruded silently. But I grab that arm and defend it. He desperately tries to pull his arm off, but he doesn't even move because of my strong grip. Take the dagger with your left hand in that gap and point it at him. The elf lowered back with a surprised look on his face, and another elf advanced to be replaced again.
That guy launches an attack without question. But I flatter it perfectly. He's got good arms, but he's still uneven in his movements. With swordsmanship LV5, I wouldn't even be able to touch it.
"Wow...... Dear Linos"
I hear Sidi over my back. That? Didn't you ever show me my arm?
For a moment, my consciousness was targeted for a gap away from the elf. If you noticed, an elf dagger had already stretched out to my chest. Fast. Was the earlier move fake? I can't let this happen. We have no choice but to defeat him.
"Stop it!"
I hear a man shouting unexpectedly. That stopped me and the elves from moving. Elf's dagger was aimed precisely at my heart. My sword, on the other hand, was placed on the elf's neck. Without a voice, this elf would surely have had his throat scratched off.
I guess you just figured out the situation. Elf's face is cut off by distortion. That guy slowly walked away from me with his crooked face...
