Once Hifu to Puuse’s shy restraint, the left eye of the sitting elder elf opened
“You are conscious?” (Hifumi)
“… Hu unusual just before my death…”
The elder elf, who talks in a fragile voice, was aa plain attire as if he has wrapped hied posture
Most of the visible part have transforht eye in the face had turned into moss-covered bark
The voice, which leaks frohtly opened mouth, seems to be really strained
“Is it painful? Are you seeing properly?” (Hifumi)
“What a barrage of questions”
The elder elf, who spilled a laughter as if leaking air with a “fufu”, shi+fted his attention to Puuse, who is standing behind Hifumi
“Puuse, huh…? The one who brought along a human is you?”
“E-Excuse me” (Puuse)
“There’s nothing to apologize I was able to have an interesting encounter in ?”
Returning his sight onto Hifumi, the elf muttered “I don’t have much time left”
“My body will gradually stop towet or cracking”
“Even er vanished before I realized it”, the elder elf explains
“A gentle death, huh?” (Hifumi)
“Fufufu… Human, it’s different”
The elder elf turns his eyeball in a circle His gaze turned towards everything in visible range
“I can watch like this, but it’s only in the range of my eyeball’s movement I wonder how far it will become”
“Fuufuu”, his breathing goes roughly
“My breathing- is slowly- getting painful It’s not- a gentle sensation What is certain- isdeath Undoubtedly, if it’s like this and even if I stopco, without hearing and unable to move”
“That probably doesn’t mean that it’s not scary”, he says

Puuse has become speechless with a pale face due to his fear towards death, she heard of for the first time
“The ones, ere unaware of it, isn’t only you It’s an unapproachable law, created by so”
Without anyone knowing the truth, they vanish into the forest believing to be visited by a gentle death

“What is it?” (Hifumi)
“Please- killcreature I don’t want to taste dread…”
“I see It’s fine, I guess” (Hifumi)
Hifumi readily accepted his request and drew the katana from his waist
“P-Please wait! So him…” (Puuse)
“You are a cruel fellow” (Hifumi)
“Eh?” (Puuse)
“I was told so unexpected”, Puuse raised a voice of surprise
“It’s as the human says, Puuse For the current me death is a salvation”
“Such a…” (Puuse)
“I want to examine the corpse” (Hifumi)
The elder elf se his expression due to the words of Hifumi, who prepared his katana
“If I can die, it’s fine for you to do as you like afterwards Human, your name is?”
“It’s Hifumi” (Hifumi)
“I see, Hifuratitude”
“See ya” (Hifumi)
Holding the katana above his head, the katana, which was brought down head-on, divided him into two separate halves up to the head with its marvellous sharpness
Moreover, the head drops sideways due to a horizontal slash
The head, which was split into two parts, tu

“What’s cruel is the state inside his body” (Hifumi)
Using the point of the katana, Hifuround, up
“Uuh…” (Puuse)
While so up froruesoht
Hifue while squatting
“Even the head’s contents have mostly transformed So, what’s this?” (Hifumi)
Hifumi, who had seen the interior of humans many times, knitted his brows due to the appearance as if an entire part of the components was created to be replaced by wood
Moreover, there’s another part Hifumi doesn’t understand

Once he tries to lightly scoop it up with his finger, there are sticky strings drooping
“I don’t know this Itcharacteristic to elves” (Hifumi)
