“Listen, Eladia Devote yourself to your brothers and sisters That's the duty imposed upon us”

Those were the last words Eladia's father left behind for her when she was still young

Her father, who gently caressed the head of the sobbing Eladia, took along the few surviving warriors, and ran towards the other side of the brightly burning forest

They did this despite a great nu theain after that

It's a tale fro to win the hegemony of the continent's centre

An elven wourative expression

Even in reality, elven woive an elven woift to a business partner, as a reward to a military commander that achieved meritorious deeds, or as a present for powerful people

This treately influenced by the traits of the elven race

A this Seldeas Continent, elves are considered to be the race closest to humans In the myths it's said that the Human God even used the elves as a reference when he created the humans

It's not entirely certain whether that part of the myths is true or not, but it's a fact that the appearance of elves and humans rese, pointed ears which is a typical characteristic of the elven race, it beco by their outward appearance

Also, the resemblances aren't just lie between different races is considered as ie between humans and elves, and humans and e between humans and mermen that doesn't leave the area of rumors, it's an undeniable fact that half elves, the kind of , are born between humans and elves

This fact that children can be made between the a different race was taboo

And, yet another typical elven trait changed the situation into the worst possible tragedy for the elves

In the eyes of the hueneral extremely well-featured appearances as a racial trait

Even though there's a difference in preference between people, almost all humans would probably answer that elves are beautiful if they were asked about it The beauty of the elves excels to such an extent that there's no way to express it as anything but theood looks, the elves fell prey to the carnal lust of the humans

Moreover, the superstitions that are whispered between the influential hu is hardly visible from their outward appearance, elves were considered to have perpetual youth and longevity between the humans

However, in reality even elves have a lifespan

The elves' lifespan is roughly around 300 years Although one can't possibly say that they are immortal, it's only understandable that it's misunderstood as such by the humans with their short lives

Because of thatif they have sex with an iirl was born

What those in power and those possessing huge riches desire thetheir obtained authorities and wealth, they pursued pleasure with elven wo with the Eirls were especially highly valued, countless nuinity stolen and were forced into beco sex slaves

And the ones ere present in the city of Bolnis were the victims of exactly that

It's not like those women were happy at the time when Souma, who captured Bolnis, loudly announced the emancipation of slaves in his “Proclamation of Iron”

As a matter of fact, when Souma made his “Proclamation of Iron,” they were still enslaved as sex slaves

If one were to ask why their release came that late, simply look to the dwarves

Elves and dwarves are, since the tian to rebel, they didn't go as far as causing harm to the elven women, their arch enemies, but neither did they take the initiative to rescue them

Because of that Sou the “Procla the state of Bolnis for the sake of a punitive force

Sou kept as sex slaves, immediately freed them And then he made them live in the rooms of the feudal lord's official residence, where it was difficult for them to be exposed to public notice, and asked the fe of Sou he decided upon after carefully considering their circumstances until now

However, the elven women didn't consider it like that

They didn't think of it as anything but theathered as loot in that house by their new human master as accompanied by their archene they waited, their new n of any of their sisters being summoned to his bedroom They could sense that even the female zoan, whom they believed at first to be surveillance, were quite worried about them

As one and then teeks passed in such state, the elven wo's odd

Originally it was a situation that should be delightful for them, but the eleven women, who had a pessimistic outlook because of their circuinable, frightening trap

Thiswas also owed to Souinally he should have explained the “Proclamation of Iron” to them at the time when he released them Also, he received reports fro weird and about the themselves in their rooms He had as much time as he wanted to take measures

However, Souma left them alone and didn't make any kind of moves either

Yet, that was only reasonable

That's because Sou women so far Not just that, even at school he only talked with s, he wouldn't be able to bring up any other name but that of his mother if he were to be asked about a member of the opposite sex hom he had a normal conversation

It was probably only natural for Souma, as so inexperienced o with the elven wo prey to the huh Sou and delaying to deal with the elven wo punitive force as excuse

At the tiradually becale wo about it
