Chapter 101 - Even if We Look Different from Each Other (4)

It was unknown as to how much time had passed after the king of Daitan withdrew from the forest with his troops.However, all the curse and black magic filling up the Forest of Eternity were gone.It was as if they hadn’t existed in the first place.

[Nyaa-ah.Burp.]

All the energy were within the stomach of the little magical beast.She let out a burp.

[Nyaa nyaa nyaa-ah.]

“Are you satisfied?”

After she ate every drop of the black magic energy, she flew into Artpe’s arms.When he took her into his arms, he could see her full stomach.

“I guess you won’t be able to eat anything else if you want to digest all that.”

[Nyaa!? Nyaa nyaa nyaa!]

He wondered if she wasn’t a cat.Maybe, her true identity was a pig.Artpe seriously pondered over this thought as he took a step towards Sienna.She was still healing the Elves.However, Regina grabbed his sleeve.

“Demite.”

“Yes.. I already know you are a Demite….Ah.”

“Demite.”

Regina’s piercing gaze was trying to see into his robe.Of course, he knew what she wanted.Artpe smirked as he took out the Demite.He had succeeding in refining it, and he had also used it in battle for the first time.

“Completed…..Demite.”

He was immediately able to focus Regina’s gaze on the Demite.Her eyes twinkled.She looked so innocent that it was hard to believe that she had blown up numerous people not too long ago.He couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yes. Here.”

“Present?”

“Are you trying to swindle me?You can look at the Demite.You should learn about the proper relationship between a Demite and its magician.”

“Proper relationship…..”

When the Demite was handed over into Regina’s hands, the Demite let out a much luminescent more light.She carefully observed the Demite. The Demite in her hand also realized her identity, so it vibrated as it let out a light.

“This is the first time I’ve seen Demites communicate with each other.Ah.First…..”

It was a sight he hadn’t seen in his past life.As the owner of the Read All Creation ability, his curious was peaked.However, his party member was under hardship, so he couldn’t leave this matter unsettled.Artpe left the two Demites alone, and he approached Sienna.

“Heal!”

“H...human…Thank you.Koo-ooh.”

“Heal!Please stay here and rest.”

She was healing the Elves through Mana that negate all magic.The curse and the black magic had created bruises and tears in their Mana Circuitry.She healed the Mana Circuitry, and she eased their body and soul.

“Ah, oppa.”

“Don’t over do it, Sienna.”

“No, I’m fine. The Elves need to be healed right now.”

Normally, she was overlooked, because she traveled with Artpe and Maetel.However, she had already shot past level 260, and she had reached full maturity in her skills.As a special race characteristic of an Evil Reflector, she possessed overwhelmingly more Mana than a human of equal level.

In the brief amount of time, she had already healed close to a thousand Elves.Despite this fact, she had energy to spare.

“If you’ve regained your energy, please bring the other Elves here!”

“Koo-mmm. Since you are the one requesting it…..”

“I never realized there was someone amongst the humans that possessed such a kind smile.”

As a race, the Elves had a lot of pride.However, the curse had messed with their emotions, and this was followed up by an invasion of the forest by humans.As a cherry on top, the Dark Elf-ification phenomena had occurred.Their state of mind of ragged right now.

Was that the cause?

The Elves had acted as if the world had ended, but they slowly started moving as if they were being saved by Sienna’s pure voice.

However, the positive turn to the situation hadn’t ended there.

“My god.The elder really did become a Dark Elf.”

“If we follow the rules of the forest, we cannot stay in contact with the Dark Elves.It seems the elder did something so egregious that it made him fall…....”

“Maybe, something went wrong.We moved with one goal in mind.How could we have broken a rule in such a short amount of time?”

They were suspicious as to why such an abnormally large number of Dark Elves had formed.The Elves had perpetuated a foolish mistake over the long years.A couple of Elves that were brave enough to face the mistake headon started to make their presence known.

“If they did something bad enough to turn them into Dark Elves, shouldn’t we have turned into Dark Elves too?”

“No, the World Tree is never wrong!”

“What if it isn’t the World Tree······ What if we had been wrong from the start?”

“······what?”

Artpe hadn’t desired to give Daitan the victory, and he hadn’t wanted to bring down Aedia.Maybe, the event that was occurring right now was something he desired more than stopping the World Tree from burning.

“No, that can’t be.That can’t be.”

“How could it not be?We were cursed by the humans, so we were moving with one heart.So why would some become Dark Elves, while others remain as Elves…..Is it really true that the Dark Elves are born, because they had broken a rule?”

“You shouldn’t even doubt that.!”

“What if that is the truth…..What does that imply about us?We’ve been chasing out the Dark Elves under that assumption.”

“That is······.”

“You are now a Dark Elf.”

“You too.”

When one Dark Elf was born, it was easy to chase out that individual.It was easy to expel someone from a homogenous group.They hadn’t given much thought to it.

However, almost half their number had become Dark Elves.The Elves were unsure about what they had to do.Wives would be separated from their husbands.Children would be separated from their parents.There would be too many cases where this would happen.

“Still, we can’t let this be.”

“I’m sure we did something wrong.”

“Aren’t we all the same!Are you going to chase all of us out, because we became Dark Elves?!”

The Elves felt bitter, but the Elves couldn’t truly admit that they had been wrong.Still, if they continued to discriminate between Dark Elves and Elves, the community would broken apart.They had no choice but to modify their way of thinking.

However, Artpe was satisfied with this result.

In the end, they would no longer be able to ostracize the Dark Elves.

Those that used to ostracize Dark Elves had become Dark Elves themselves.If they wanted legitimacy within the community, they couldn’t spout nonsense such as the Dark Elves were an abomination.

“All right.Everything is perfect now.”
