Chapter 99 (1/2)
Taking an own interpretation, album is Discovery by Daft Punk…
Five days passed with hi in the direction, he was told by the one-eared rabbitwoman
It took him further three days to leave the area, where the beastmen live Once he cas took the appearance of being a broad expense of various woodland He occasionally cli
“Around here…?” (Hifumi)
Hifued
The ated as well, frohtness and clarity to a darowing number of leaves Also, the clear air, which allowed one to see into the distance without obstruction, transfor that appeared to be misty, before he noticed it
The nu and there are even those, growing different weeds from within their cracked rinds
“… This appears to be inferior in sleeping comfort” (Hifumi)
Hifu on a tree’s branch to take a break frohts like it’s unpleasant with the s of tension
“Hmm? What the hell’s this?” (Hifumi)
In the sight of Hifumi, who headed deeper into the forest froe swelling, located on a tree, was reflected
Once he tries to get close quietly, he discovers a life-sized wooden doll having been placed in a sitting posture, as if entrusting its back to the trunk, close to the base of the tree
He grabbed the doll, which was covered in moss all over, but as it has been fir even an inch at the level of just pulling it lightly It’s co it out of one part of a large trunk
“All things considered, it’s quite the elaborate craft” (Hifumi)
The slender-faced doll with its closed eyes was an elder having an expression with deep wrinkles engraved, however he had a beautiful form, which definitely would have peeked the interest of wo his youth And, the reason why Hifumi paid attention to this doll is its ears
“Elf? No, the wood carving of an elf, huh?” (Hifumi)
The pointed ears have a size, which is ly and narrohile growing towards the back
Coupled with having a beautiful shape, they are a characteristic of elves, he heard from somewhere
“However, a wood-craft sculpture… that’s a refined pastime for dwellers of a fantasy” (Hifumi)
Without clearing the moss he understands the feel of theEven for Hifumi, who has no deeper interest in art, it was to a level of aze at it for a while
What ca arrow
The arrohich passed the flank of Hifumi who moved his body sideways in a sround and blew up a small cloud of dust
“At least greet me first You are quite the rude fellow” (Hifumi)
“Tsk!”
So perturbed in the least, but they shoot another arrow from up in the trees
Even as he is attacked by a literally rapid firing of 2-3 shot arrows, seeing that he grasped the enemy’s location with the first assault, those couldn’t hit either
S the arrows, it ends once he hides behind a tree and holds his breath
“Coret that!”
The enemy disqualifies himself as sniper as it seems that they are the type, who lets their blood easily rush to their head
Getting annoyed with the opponent’s crude way of doing things, Hifu only his wrist from within the tree’s shade
“Ah!?”
The sniper, who sustained a wound on their shoulder, fell from the tree unable to endure
He drops with a crushi+ng sound on top of the leaves, which accumulated on the moist soil
At the time Hifumi rushed over, the ene stance, but the point of the katana, which Hifuainst the throat as if being sucked in
“Uguu…”
The eneht within the di drawn onto the blade
Being slightly taller than Hifu, slender and well-proportined lih they aren’t frail by noblonde hair being tied and flowing down the back, had androgynous features having good looks and almond eyes
And, just like that doll, the elf has the characteristic long ears
“You are… an elf?” (Hifumi)
Due to Hifu them without reservation, the elf spits out, with a displease expression,
“What about it? As human, who intruded into the elves’ forest without permission, do you think you will be safe as it is?”
“If entry isn’t allowed, build a gate at the entrance and set up a door bell” (Hifumi)
The elf’s expression turns increasingly gri words
“Oh well, with your words I understood that this place is the elves’ home” (Hifumi)
“bastard, what business do you have with us elves?”
“I only came to see elves If I can observe the place where you live, that will be even better, but my destination is further inside” (Hifumi)
“Do you intend to go to the demon races’ place, bastard?”
The elf, who opened his eyes in surprise, raised his voice
“That’s right I ran into one of the deht as well pay my respects to his boss” (Hifumi)
Due to Hifuo for a visit since he was told it was so like hell, the shocked elf says,
“The demon race has been currently sealed deeper inside due to our, the elves’, secret art Since it’s co out, but…”
If it’s according to the details mentioned by the elf, the de because of the barrier, which has a shape of enclosing and sealing the deployed by the elves Previously the dwarf Thorn has called them “the demon race, which is hostile to hu the forest as they hate suffering the effects of the barrier, there are soot close to human cities
Zebul, as killed by Hifumi, likely was the type, as able to blend in between people without being discovered
“Why are you doing so this troublesome?” (Hifumi)
Hifumi tilted his head to the side due to the elf co the seal to protect the world
“That’s simple”
The elf says as if spitting out
“The deinally separated fro such blockheads to be free would be the disgrace of us elves”
“Even if you are going as far as calling the the them” (Hifumi)
Which re too, Hifu his doubts
“That is…”
Watching the elf averting his look, he concludes the elves likely don’t have the strength to destroy the deenuine combat
“Such things got nothing to do with hu that aside, it’s forbidden for anyone but elves to enter past here”
“Though you are taller than s” (Hifumi)
“Don’t call me childish!+”
Did the elf forget that a blade is pressed against his throat? The kick in order to hit with the shoe sole was avoided by Hifu back
Seeing that a distance opened up, the elf draws the knife this tirip Probably due to the pain of a shuriken being stuck in the elf’s left shoulder, he clenches his left fist while frowning
“This time I won’t lose!”
“Saying “this ti is overly optilad? Reinforcements came” (Hifumi)
Even as Hifued his shoulders, several elves appeared from within the forest’s depth
“shi+ku, what are you doing with a human?”
The male elf, as in the lead, turned his bohich was drawn to the limit, towards Hifumi and shouted at the elf, who has prepared his knife, in that state
“B-But…” (shi+ku)
“Since you told me you would be able to do it, I let you, a child who can’t use anything but weak o on patrol and yet…”
The elf called shi+ku dropped his shoulders with an expression like a scolded child The following fe shi+ku
“Child, you say?” (Hifumi)
“As you heard”
Due to Hifumi’s question, the elf, who yelled, faced Hifumi with a loathsome expression
“Follow us We have been told by Zanga-sa since you have entered the forest Don’t do anything strange Usually we elves don’t tolerate so the elven forest”
“Hoo?” (Hifumi)
Despite having arrows pointed at hi at the elves and arrows in front of hi a particular stance
“That’s not the attitude you welcouest with” (Hifumi)
“Don’t get full of yourself just because you were ht with a child as opponent… ah!?”
