Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 012: The Wretched Elders
Finally, I see you.
How long has it been since I left the mountain stream? I don't know because I haven't checked the time. Anyway, we were able to get back to the Elves before it got dark. At this time, it appears that the expansion is still in progress. I have a painful look at the refugees stabbing me.
"You tired?
"No, not at all. However, traveling through the woods with vigilance is mentally exhausting."
"That's all I have to get used to."
Sylphie walks ahead with her shoulders crossed. Now I have a collar on my neck, but it's not chained. I asked if it was okay before I got close to the village, but I was told not to worry because I was going to do well. Yeah, if that's what your husband says, I have to believe it.
"Hey, why aren't you chained?
Soon after, he passed through the expansion compartment and arrived at the gate of the Elf's Country, but he was blamed by the elf soldiers who naturally guarded the gate. Isn't that right?
"I don't feel the need to talk to you. I need to tell the elders right away, stay out of my way."
"You look so filthy!?
Suddenly Silfi started straight to the right of the electrolithographic flame and hit the elf soldiers. Hmm... I'm scared because I'm too hesitant to move.
"The next time I slap you in the mouth, I'll kill you."
Silfi's cold voice echoes as she calms down. Hmm... it looks like it's leaking.
"Let's go."
"Eye Mom"
Bish, salute and then follow after Silfi who walked out. I don't know how many times, but let's make sure Sylvie doesn't get angry.
"Hey, are you okay?"
I walked a little and the distance from the scene was empty, so I ran down to Silfi on a small run and listened with a low voice.
"Hmm, even if there's a problem, there's nothing they can do about it. They're the ones who want me gone."
Really?
Hmm, I wonder why Sylvie is treated as an untouchable being, whether he has tremendous power in this town, or if he's seen it at first sight. I'm a little concerned, but it seems like a delicate topic. I shouldn't be asking right now.
"You're not going home."
"We need to report Gizma entering the woods first to the elders in the countryside."
I see.
Pass in front of Silfi's house and head further into the back of the country. There aren't many people around here. Are all the elves pulling?
What a big building.
It's a meeting place. Old folks gather for tea and drinks every day. "
Silfi enters the rally hall with an ironic smile. No one was to blame because there were no guards.
Well, who do you think you are?
"Why, it's unusual. It's two days in a row that an old man who hates to come here."
"Ho-ho-ho, it'll rain with a spear tomorrow."
"It's not about being unfortunate. It's not funny in this situation."
When I enter the building, I hear such a voice. I glanced out of Silfi's shadow and looked inside, and it was a space about the size of a tennis court. Tata-like stuff is laid down and the ceiling is quite high.
It seems that the lords of voices were the elves who were drinking tea with cushions on the tatami mats. Words smell old, but they don't look that old to me. Some people look as good as Sylvie, while others only look like children. Some people look older.
"Oh, is that the guy who came into the woods?
"Hmm, I can barely feel the magic."
"Almost, or not at all?
"Unusual, but the shards have no magic."
"You don't think he has magic?
"It's rare, isn't it?
Something's wrong. Uh, there are seven of them sitting, and four of them standing a little further away as if they were serving. It looks like all eleven elves are here.
There is only one man, and all the rest are women.
"Sylvie, who is this man? You only said yesterday that you would enslave yourself because you picked up a human man?
"Silfi, stop. I got a report today. Hey, give me that tentacle."
"Yes, sir."
I'll take out the gizma tentacles from the inventory and give them to Sylvie.
"There was a gizma in the forest. Something is happening that I was concerned about."
Hmm, it's still...
"If one came in, it wouldn't be that far before the avalanche."
"If we defend the countryside, we'll be able to retreat."
"What about the beasts? There's a decent wall. You want me to put it in the village?
"It's not realistic. You can't maintain or harvest magic fields while defending. I can't even feed them."
Well, even if we can't hold it, we'll fall together.
"There's no other way for them to choose between leaving this place right now or staying here ready to die."
"Speaking of which, it's also the seeds they sprinkled."
The old elves who saw the tentacles of the gizma flourished to exchange opinions and discuss measures. They watched from behind Silfi. What they said seemed to be reasonable, correct or irrelevant.
Of course, I don't have anything to think about at all. I don't know how many people there are, but I think the number of refugees is considerable. Probably not as many as 100 or 200. Isn't it too inhumane to abandon them to keep the Elves alive? and.
But on the other hand, I don't think there's any reason for them to fall down with the refugees. The refugees fled in their clothes to this black forest and were fed into the village of the elves without paying any price. Moreover, it is highly likely that the cause of the gizma reproduction was also their fault. I nod that I can't take care of him that much.
Hmm, once the barrier is complete
I see. I could have enclosed the magic fields if the barrier had been completed. "
"Tonight, we'll have to call a refugee representative to discuss it."
"Is that so? So, Sylvie. I'm talking about the man."
"Silfi, stop."
With a sudden expression, Sylphie blames her again for calling. But the Elders don't have a chance at all. Follow the Elder.
"I'm sure he's a man of iron making technology, and he wants to own it because it's worth it."
Ah.
"Why are you staying up all night? My hands are fast."
"Whoa!?
Suddenly and vividly, Silfi turns bright red to her ears. Ooh... that's the unusual look on your husband's face, which always gives him a hostile and cool impression. All right, Elders, do more.
"Ho. If a woman can accept a man, the quality of her magic will change slightly."
It's a minor difference, but it's not obvious to us.
Spring has finally arrived for my grandmother, Sylvie.
"But I'm a little worried. It's a bit sexually distorted to force a man into slavery to be a comforter."
"Humans do well. Isn't that what's going on lately?
Sylvie, it's hikara.
"No, but I don't know what to do."
"Descendants prosper, that's quite a thing. Anyway, Sylvie is not the only one in Merinard's lineage who's safe. I don't mind if my sexuality is somewhat distorted."
You can say whatever you want, and your husband is trembling with pull and shake. Nonetheless, none of the elders seems to think I attacked Silfi. Yeah, well, even if I were a muscle mole macho, I don't think I could really resist Sylvie, and it might be a reasonable decision.
Still, there's a word that bothers you. Merinard's blood. After all, Sylvie was a man of the kingdom of Merinard. Besides, it sounds like a royal lineage. Maybe a princess? If it's just Princess Sylvie's name, it looks so pathetic. The real thing is undoubtedly beautiful, but it's too strong.
"Well, that's it for laughing."
After a quick laugh, the atmosphere suddenly changed. The elders who had been laughing brightly before suddenly turned to face and began to release an unknown amount of pressure.
"Ask Sylvie, Merinard's daughter. Answer me who that man is."
Sylvie, on the other hand, opened her mouth with a steadfast expression without fear. I wonder if your face is still a little red.
"I don't know. However, when she realized she was speaking, she was standing on the border between the wilderness and the forest. Words make sense, but Koske talks about his hometown as if he had never heard of it. That's what makes me think it's just another world than Reese."
"... I see. Magus, you show up in the middle of nowhere to save the people of the woods... considering the current situation, it's too much."
I see. But it's not the legend that you left behind... what kind of person is it? "
"Does that mean it's rare?"
"I guess that's what you have to think. I don't have enough proof to believe it, but if you think about the situation."
"In that case, I don't know if they should keep that identity....."
Chilari and one of the elders are looking at me. But Sylvie hugged me in his chest to get in the way. Uhhh, soft. Very good, very good.
"No way. This is mine."
And this is it. Cun is dying.
Thinking about the situation, did Sylvie come close to using me for something? It's not that bad. Even though my rare self approached with the goal of attributes and power, if you do so much, it's your real wish. That's why you spoil me more, master.
"Absolutely. It's not as strong as that bounce. If you were to dedicate yourself to manipulation, you wouldn't be able to tear it off."
"But what do we do next? Though rare, they don't look human. Refugees and young elves will not be able to tolerate it that way."
You're relieved by the Elder's words, Sylvie let me go. When I was holding him, he hit me on the head and ripped me off. That's terrible.
"Then you'll have to do something that you can accept. If it works, we can protect the village, we can protect the refugees. One stone, two birds."
"I see. Sylvie, you got it?
"Yes, I understand."
"The current situation is painful, even if it is such as". If rare people follow Sylvie, let's help Sylvie. But that's what happens when that rare person can prove it. Take care of yourself. "
Sylphie nodded and turned her heel and left. I'm not sure about the situation, but it seems to have been passed on to Sylvie. Well, the way we talked, I kind of figured it out, too.
Yep, lord.
When I turned my heel and tried to chase Silfi, one of the elders called out. You can't ignore the boulder, so stop and look back. Apparently, it was the elder who spoke up, looking like a little girl. It's Lori's... good. It's inferior to Silfi.
"Because I didn't ask your name. You're gonna tell me your name, right?
"Oh, my name is Kosuke Shibata. Call me Koske."
I see. Koske, take care of Sylvie. That's a poor girl. "
"... as much as I can."
I decided to give Lorielf a word back and leave. I'll do what I can, whatever I can. I don't think it's easy to risk your life. Probably.
