Chapter 102 (2/2)

“I don’t knohether it’s from the trunk or the leaves, but if you accumulate coe your bodies’ co solid within your body I guess the flesh and blood which coets corroded by it” (Hifumi)

Once he finished talking in a way of obviously persuading hi around

“So, what do you think? Do you guys choose to die by turning into a tree? Will you end your lives and beco withyour weapons here? Or, will you run away from the curse of this tree before it’s too late?” (Hifumi)

No one is able to return an answer to Hifumi’s words

Looking at each others’ faces, they are si with each other noisily

“You bastard are…” (Laboras)

Only Laboras tre flustered by the words of the huet, due to the cruelwith their corpses

“Do you intend to cover up your cri up incomprehensible theories!?” (Laboras)

“Are you unable to… no, unwilling to understand your mistake?” (Hifumi)

While giggling, Hifu

“Don’t avert your eyes fro everyone, without fail, will experience There’s no need to be scared of it” (Hifumi)

Drawing his katana, Hifue breath

“Hey, choose Will you persist in your obstinacy to fight here? Will you calmly review your own circumstances?” (Hifumi)

Several elves quietly took a distance due to those words

ThatLaboras as well

“Don’t you weaklings have no pride as people of the forest!?” (Laboras)

“Don’t talk such rubbish” (Hifumi)

Hifu his displeasure and composure

“Pride or such is a dreauys’ stupid ‘law‘ the chance to face death was stolen from the elves” (Hifumi)

Hifu at the charm of the hamon

“Dying is so that completes one’s character Did they follow their way of life? Or, was it filled with unhappiness? Was it an unnatural death in the ?” (Hifumi)

He callares at hith into his muscled body which is unlike that of normal elves

“Your desires, your objectives and your future comes to an end once you die What’s left is a co that completes that life” (Hifumi)

“Therefore”, he prepares the katana by ai at Laboras’ eyes

“Let me bestow that end upon you, if you so desire” (Hifumi)

“This human is…”

Half of the followers are gradually withdrahile the other half is waiting for Laboras’s judgment

Laboras who had the looks of his coathered on him quietly took the knife at his waist into his hands

Hifuhs

When shi+ku observed the state of Zanga’s house from the shades of a tree, the two elves in front of the entrance stood there listlessly

shi+ku whohis eyebrows frantically performs a chant within his mouth

“S-Sleep…” (shi+ku)

His ht be able to barely use hypnotisree ofan elf yawn, it hasn’t much of an effect on a completely awake opponent, however it will so around absent-mindedly

“I-I did it” (shi+ku)

Confir their backs against the wall, he quietly enters the building

There he found the figures of the leader Zanga and Puuse sitting next to each other

“shi+ku? You were safe?” (Puuse)

“Puuse-neechan…” (shi+ku)

shi+ku who lost strength in his knees sits doeakly

“ExcuseLaboras about the human after he asked about it…” (shi+ku)

Puuse snuggles up to shi+ku who sheds large drops of tears in a rush

“It’s alright I healed the injuries by myself, okay?” (Puuse)

“B-But, I was told that Laboras will banish you, Puuse-neechan…” (shi+ku)

Noticing shi+ku who has a pale face quivering, Puuse coly

However, her words aren’t co out smoothly

It’s because she’s truly scared of being banished

“shi+ku, do you knohat that hua)

“Yes…” (shi+ku)

shi+ku corrected his posture upon Zanga’s question

“I don’t quite understand, but he spoke about coet absorbed and arbour or so like that However, many adults were killed…” (shi+ku)

“Coa)

Zanga raised her voice which was unusual for her

Due to the two staring at her in surprise, Zanga dropped her half-risen hips and gazed at the small fire in the sunken hearth

That gaze see in the far distance

“The things that hu I didn’t understand well either Don’t tell me, it’s because of our conversation… So, did you hear that reason?” (Zanga)

“Umm, I don’t knohether it’s really true or not, but bad stuff is entering one’s body fro like that…” (shi+ku)

The explanation of shi+ku who honestly didn’t understand half of it either is a next to hia was able to grasp it

“I see It’s because I lived for a long tia)

Zanga who laughs with a hi hi slowly speaks to Puuse and shi+ku

“You know, as child I was afraid of the forest I practically never left the house” (Zanga)

“The reason I heard is that you complied with the location which was decided in order to listen to the stories of ers at all times, but…” (Puuse)

“That is, well, an excuse in concern of nity It’s story which was used to cover it up In truth I had only becoa)

“In spite of being an elf”, she laughs at herself

“Being afraid of the forest, you say What’s this about?” (shi+ku)

Zanga muttered a small 「Will they let me speak, I wonder?」 due to shi+ku’s question

“You guys also saw it in the forest, right? The a)

Once being told, Puuse recalled the elder elf who begged Hifuulped

For shi+ku it was faint due to his half-awake state, but he has vague memories of it

“Me too When I was younger than shi+ku is now, I saw it in the forest The figure of an elder elf heading towards death … And in addition to that it was a)

“Fuu~”, she exhaled

“My grand and that she wantedIn the end I ran away froa)

“And then it reached the point of even feeling disgust towards being an elf, unable to get rid of my dread of the forest”, she says

“However, if what the human has said is really true, I will be saved a little bit as well If it’s really because of the forest’s nature and not because I’a)

Breathing out once again, Zanga turned her look which was fixed on the fire towards Puuse and shi+ku

“I wish for that hua)

Those were, in short, the sa the death of her brethren
