Soon after, led by Gio and Fio, we were led to a once-quiet village of Wood Elves.

The westernmost wood elf village in Ente's forest is said to be Sai West.

"I don't seem to be very welcome."

"I can't help thinking that it's bad time. I'll have no choice but to be recognized by action. Gio, can you tell me where you're going to guide us?"

"It's the patriarch, where warriors from other races are also gathering. It's quicker to introduce you and see the status quo."

"Well, it's reasonable."

Deirdre occasionally glances at us talking to Gio, but he does not speak specifically and walks silently.

As I walked through the village, which is not much different from the forest, I noticed a huge and thick tree.

The trees, which are so large that thirty adults have to reach for them, are overgrown with dark green foliage.

Underneath the tree is the largest house we have ever seen, with a flag sewn into the emblem of each of the Wood Elven clans at the entrance.

It was not found in other houses, is this flag a proof of the patriarch?

Gio walked arbitrarily into the patriarch's house, occasionally greeted the passing wood elves and led us to the large room at the back of the house.

Probably a hall or something to use in an emergency. Passing through a single piece of cloth embroidered with a huge tree penetrating the heavens and various creatures in the forest gathering there, there were people who surrounded a large round table that seemed to have been cut from the trunk of the huge tree.

A wood elf with a neat face and wrinkles and the time that has lived so far, a wolf three times bigger than me with a white fur and a full body covered, a spider with a red shell and fine hair on the lower body Arakne with the upper body of a strange-aged beauty.

These three are sitting around the Wood Elf, and it seems unlikely that Wood Elf was the chief of Gio and the other two were the heads of each species.

As the gaze of the three stabs at us, Gio and Fio go straight forward and bow down a little.

"The Deo Chiefs, Vlaik, Argennes, have just returned."

Deo is the chief of the Wood Elves, Vryk is a werewolf, and Argenne is the name of Arachne. The look of the werewolf is heavily suspicious, and the look of Argennes is heavily observed.

The Deo patrol looks around our faces with different eyes. Then he turns his eyes back to Gio, opens his mouth and begins to speak with a heavy voice.

"I'm back. Well, I've found Marl safe. Above all, I've been informed of the battle on the northern defensive wall. Deirdre, he's fought well. The enemy seems to be the spirit of the demon world."

Deirdre, who had closed her mouth so far, opens her mouth. He may not be in a position to remain silent even if he plays Diadora.

"Yeah, I finally managed to meet the outside path where everyone's life died. I couldn't beat it, but the next time I'll definitely stop his breath."

"Don't get too bloody. You'll usually stay calm and once you get blood on your head, your vision will narrow."

"I remember it in one corner of my head. I don't know if I would remember."

"Well .... By the way, Gio, would you please introduce me to those people? Vlike and Argennes seemed to be worried."

"I don't care so much."

"I'm worried because I don't want to invite extra fights to fight the magical soldiers."

"The ones who helped Marl who was being chased by the Demon Soldiers, as the patriarchs know, those who came from the village of Bern, and those of this forest near their village. I was suspicious of having shown this and said that she came to investigate.

They were very helpful in fighting on the northern barrier. Without them, many would have been sacrificed. ''

"The village of Bern, nostalgic name. Wouldn't it be any wonder if those who were chased by the magical soldiers could show up in that village. Thank you as patriarch to you. ''

"Hm, we were in our situation. It would be helpful if you didn't worry too much. It was late, but I'm Doran in Bern village."

"I'm Serina. I'm in the village of Bern."

"Christina, I'm not from the village of Berne, but I'm working with Doran because of it."

"I've been involved in a terrible disaster. You should sit down first."

Prompted to sit down by the Deo Chief, we arrived at the round table obediently, and the elf waiter, who put a wooden cup for the number of people on a wooden tray from the back room, appeared.

The liquid in the glass is slightly greenish and seems to be squeezed juice. Including a sip, the mouth is filled with a refreshing scent from the mouth to the back of the nostrils, refreshing your mood.

"I've come to this Sai West on purpose. I can't go back without telling anything. How far have you heard from Gio?"

"The north of Sai Sai West, the gates of the magic soldiers appear, killing you and others in the forest, and the neighboring tribes work together to plan a counterattack against the magic soldiers. Until you do that "

"Um. I rarely tell you again when you hear that. But it's not without problems. The advent of the Demon World Gate has distorted this neighboring space and the arrival of our Wood Elf support Is late. ''

"If you can't use the fairy road?"

Oh, and Deo nodded heavily. The Fairy Road is a special road that can travel to a distant place without regard to distance by passing through the Fairy World, a world different from this physical world.

You can open some elves that have high affinity with the forest, including high-order fairy species, but if you can not use it and you do not receive support, you must destroy the magic soldiers with your own strength Disappears.

"It seems that someone named Georg has set a deadline of three days, but we are not willing to respond."

"I can't get enough support in three days, so we will bring together the remaining fighters, destroy the gates of the Makai and drive them away from this forest and the ground."

The battle, which involves the fate of not only the wood elves of CyWest but also other tribes in the neighborhood, increased the expression of Deo's expression, and was accompanied by Argenne, who was standing still.

"The people of the evil world are manifested on the ground because they receive power from the gates to maintain their existence.

Destroy the gate to prevent miasma from leaking. After that, the forest will be self-cleansing, and if you put it back, it will be restored to its original form. ''

"I understand your situation. We talked to Gio, but we will fight with you.

What I mean in this way, if it were to fight against the demons, in some cases it could extend to my homeland and kingdom. I can't afford to overlook it. "

It has already been decided between me, Christina and Serina. I affirm without asking me again, and Christina and Serina have never complained.

Deo does not hesitate to fight with each other who lives in the forest, but it seems like he is hesitant to receive help from outsiders of the forest.

When I wondered if the Book of Silence would fall into play, surprisingly, the Werewolf Wraik uttered his opinion allowing him to fight with us.

"I guess you might underestimate our power, but as long as you hear your fighting on the wall, you can tell that you have the ability to speak like that.

Deo, you're telling me to help. It's a pity that our warriors have fallen considerably in the battles so far. It's a bad situation if you don't use anything you can use. ''

With Veolik's words on Deo's imagined color, he opens his mouth like Argennes folds. The eight eyes that drew a sharp light all reflected Deo's face.

"I also agree with Vlike's opinion. Doran, Christina, Selina, your offer is an unexpected luck to us.

Of course, I will not imitate asking for help. How about Deo, Vryk? Instead of begging for their help, when the battle is over, do you interact with the people of Bern village?

Until now, at best we had tolerated cutting down trees to get wood, but now we trade in Arachne thread, prey obtained by hunting wolf people, herbs and flowers grown by wood elves. Do you go?

Let's keep the scale in a small area, but the items listed here are of rare value among human beings. I think that it is necessary to pay that much for fighting for life. ''

Argenne's suggestion was not only to fuel our fighting spirit, but also to push the back of Deo, who showed a hesitant behavior, and the color of hesitation had disappeared from Deo's face.

"Yes, I'm sure you're asking for just that much. So let's get you to fight with us. Thank you."

"Let's do our utmost to meet your expectations. By the way, are you ready to communicate this to the human kingdom?

I think you're worried about the dangers of getting organized help from humans, but in the worst case you should consider kingdom assistance ... "

The answer to my question, which I had to go without asking, was a woman who appeared from the back of the room.

"I have arranged for the kingdom to contact me. Don't worry, focus on fighting the demons."

We naturally focus our gaze on the newly appearing Wood Elves.

I asked Gio or Deo who this woman was, and Christina, sitting next to her, shouted with astonishment. It is rare that this person makes a voice that reveals such feelings.

"Chairman !?"

"Christina, don't be so louder, it's not what the lady does, and I'm not the dean of this school, I'm the only wood elf. If you call it, call him Olivier."

"Christina, who is this?"

"I'm Olivier, Dean of the Galois School of Magic. I knew he was a Wood Elf, but is he probably from here?"

"I'm Olivier, not the Dean. I'm right with the question. This is my hometown.

A long time ago I had left the village and the forest and lived in the outside world, but came to know that this had happened.

I have fulfilled my duties as Dean of the School of Magic, so I don't need to worry about that. ''

"Huh, is that so ...?"

Serina turned to her face and spoke in a whisper.

"Doran, what is Christopher's Galois School of Magic?"

"Hmm? Galois is a city south of our village in Bern, and there is a royal institute that teaches magic. That's the name Galois Magic Academy.

Galois is a geography where major roads intersect in the northern part of the kingdom, making it one of the largest cities in the northern part of the country where special products, information and money from all parts of the north are collected.

That's why there were so many humans, and they were recruiting those who had the skills to deal with magic and educating them as wizards to serve the kingdom. ''

"Hey, then, Mr. Dolan may be recruited by the students of Magic Academy. There are some people who are good at magic in the village of Lamia where I lived, but Mr. Dolan is compared to those people It's amazing! "

"Thank you, huh. Well, if you can enroll in Magic Academy and get a good result, you'll open the way to the court magic division. In terms of improving your life, you might want it. Olivier Mr. Olivier, then, should I contact the kingdom side? "

"Yes, leave it to me. I've spoken to others who have left the forest before as much as possible.

Everyone, including me, will fight for home. I won't just put a burden on Dolan. ''

"Well, that's a very encouraging thing."

Then we were told that Georg and others would leave for the destruction of the gates of the Demon World, tomorrow afternoon, with the remaining force at the time the sun rose to the middle of the sky, and in the vacant room of the Deo Chief's house We had you stay.

We were led to one large room. It is not ethically permissible for adult men and women who are not family members or lovers to spend the night in the same room, but this is not the case.

"Selina, Christina, come out a little bit, I'll be back soon."

I took off my armor, put my long sword and went out, and a cheerful voice came back saying that Serina was good.

My feet, which were sewn between the trees, soon reached a corner covered with countless flowers.

It seems to be a place where wood elves grow flowers and grass that are collected in daily life, but I was not for this place but for the people standing here.

In the middle of a flower field with red, white, purple, blue, yellow, green, black and colorful roses blooming, there is a stupid black rose spirit that is like beautiful but there is a figure of Diadora, I stepped on the rose Get close to her while being careful.

"What do you want to do late at night, Doran?"

"I remembered my name. I was looking for you."

"Me? Somehow, I'm not in a good mood right now. Refuse to talk silly. Please go back and prepare for tomorrow. Unlike me, you will need to sleep "

"I'm sorry for the pain. By the way, why are you in a bad mood because you found an enemy that killed your friends?"

"Yes, yes. Just thinking about the spirits of the Makai flower, I'm getting angry enough to be crazy, right now I am.

So I don't know what to do if I don't carelessly approach. `` I don't want to hurt the increased ally. ''

"Hmm, I see."

When I muttered, I was already by Diadora. Diadora, who had never noticed my approach, seemed to suddenly feel as if I had appeared next door, and looked back at me with surprise.

"In the meantime? No, didn't you hear me saying that I wouldn't get closer carelessly?"

I replied, looking back at her eyes, to Deirdre, who was steep. Diadora might sound like a blurry word.

"So even if you get close enough, wouldn't that be good?"

"... Hello, you're changing."

"I'm often told. I've been told and used."

"Yes. I can take care of the hardships of the people around you."

I don't think you have to say that, but hey. Deirdre stopped opening her mouth, and for a moment we let the time flow in silence.

"Everyone killed by Lafracia was a good boy. He was a bit stubborn, a mischief kid, and a little too lazy, but it's a good child to die like that. There was no one.

I wasn't there. So I can't forgive. I have to survive those children's grudges. Even if he exchanges his body, she will always kill. ''

The rose screamed again, with a squeeze. The wind was scared of Diadora's hatred and forgot to blow, and the moon was afraid to hide in the clouds and see Diadora's bad looks.

Because the spirit of the black rose boasts a beauty like no human being, when he was swallowed by the negative emotions, he gave off an intimidating and intimidating feeling to the surroundings.

"Well, then I have to help."

"Is it simple? I guess the reason for helping us, who never met, is because of the rewards Argenne said? Because it is cumulative? "

"Well, let's be honest here. As Diadia says, we're happy with the rewards, and it's true that we don't want the villages to reach.

But before that, I've been taught to help as much as I can if there's a parent in need.

The people of the forest of Ente are people whom the village has been with, and I would like to help if I can do anything.

I chose to help you even if you happened to be traveling, even if you didn't get a reward. It's up to Diadora to believe or not. ''

"Yeah, you're right ... I'm going to believe it."

Hummun.

"Doran, you're strange or a strange person. When you look at your eyes, you're somehow calm down. It feels like you're seeing through to the bottom of your soul, but it's uncomfortable No. Are you really human? "

"Hahaha, this body is a genuine human body given by my parents."

"Well, I'm going to laugh a bit."

"It's just because I'm sorry. I was talking and I almost forgot, but I wasn't just looking for Diadora to talk. Diadora, Lafracia hurt me. Is there? "

"... What is it?"

"Diadora"

Despite my vocabulary strengthening, and rather staring at me gently, Deirdre shook his head a little and acknowledged his defeat.

The finger of the supple Diadora's right hand gently strokes from the base of his neck to the navel, and the fabric of the dress wriggles like countless small snakes and retreats left and right.

This dress may also be part of Diadora's body.

Exposed under the moonlight is the abdomen with rich breasts shining white and a humble navel depression as if the moonlight was concentrated only there.

And from the middle of the breast to just above the navel, the skin dried and turned black. Once you touch it, you will never forget its touch for a lifetime, and now it has a ugly appearance that you can see.

"I'm really looking forward to everything. Don't worry, it won't affect the fight."

"I'm gonna go.

"Yes, if you're good with this kind of body"

Deirdre shook her shoulders small and said so with a playful gesture. It seems that there is not much shame about exposing the skin to the opposite sex, probably because of the origin of the black rose spirit.

I touched Diadora's discolored skin slowly and gently, as if touching delicate glasswork.

"Isn't it fun to touch?"

"That's not the case. Deirdre is too attractive and desperate to endure the urge to push it down even now. I'm also a healthy man."

"Oh, I'm far from glossy, so I haven't been treated that way much. I wonder if I could have interpreted it as appealing."

"I don't mind interpreting it, but you should be more cautious about the opposite sex."

While having such an impression, I pour the life force that has been changed into that of the dragon species into Diadora's body. Diadora's body sucks my vitality as the dry ground sucks water.

Then, a faint rainbow-colored light emerges on Diadora's discolored skin, and the skin that has turned black returns to its original white color.

"! It's becoming more and more doubtful whether you're human."

"I'm glad if you think you're a bit strange"

I release my finger from Diadora's skin, feeling regrettable, and laugh small. Deirdre was not willing to pry in pranks, and did not ask any more about me.

"It's a little strange person. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for that. Thanks for healing the wounds.

Would you like to thank Doriad after this fight? I guess men like that. ''

"It's not good to say that, even to make fun of you, because my reason doesn't always hold. I'll return to the inn."

"Yes, it was fun to talk to you. It's surprising to me. I hope you have a good dream."

"Thank you. Even if you don't need to sleep, it's better to rest your body and mind."

That's it and I and Deirdre finished the Aise tonight. At night, he was relieved and deepened that he would not have to witness tomorrow's death struggle.

Tomorrow morning, when we have to watch the battle between us and the devils, will be remorseful tonight.
