Chapter 41 (1/2)
The bright arrowhead pointed at me.
The one drawing the bow is a beautiful girl of about 17 years old.
”I warn you once again. This is a forbidden place for you. Go home now.”
The girl begins to radiate murderous intent.
Refuse the warning and I will kill you, passing on the silent words.
”Alusha! Wait, don't attack!”
”Are you the fairy Frau, why are you with the human?”
Frau steps between me and the elf.
Apparently they know each other.
All right, let's leave this to her.
”You see, Frau is now his slave.”
”What!!? Impossible! They aren't satisfied enough with kidnapping elves and enslaving them, so they also capture beautiful and tender fairies, this is unforgivable!”
”It's embarrassing that you call me cute and cuddly!”
Yup……… Apparently Frau isn't going to make this girl stop.
I don't get the feeling that this misunderstanding will be resolved.
She is quite angry.
The elf's eyes radiated murderous rage.
”I'll kill you!”
”Hey.”
The elf shot her arrow.
However, Kaede, who was standing in front of me, immediately knocked it down with her iron fan.
Alusha's face twisted and she clicked her tongue.
”How dare you use a slave beast to counter my attack! You coward! Take this arrow of Alusha with dignity and die!
”I'm surprised you can't see the difference in strength.”
”I will kill anyone who mocks me. You and your master will die together.”
I am sure she is a high ranking archer, and will shoot arrows one after another.
Her extraordinary dexterity and precise aim attacked Kaede at intervals that left her breathless.
”I don't need to use magic.”
Two iron fans waved as if dancing, and all the arrows were shot down.
After blocking the thirtieth arrow, the opponent's arrows were exhausted, and Kaede twirled her skirt and held her iron fan magnificently.
Alusha breaks out in a cold sweat and kneels.
”I can't believe it...... you blocked all my arrows.”
”Don't act so surprised. You'll pay for aiming those arrows at my master.”
I placed my hand on Kaede's shoulder and stopped her.
”Alusha, we have no intention of fighting.”
”Don't think you've won just because my bow has failed. Elves have spirit magic. You'll be sorry you came to this land.”
”Listen to me!”
The wind began to shift around Alusha.
It is the use of magic by spirits, so it doesn't require chanting or magical power.
I have heard that only a limited number of elves can use it, but she was able to use spirit magic as well as the bow....
”Spirit of the wind, pierce this man!”
I immediately used the ”dragon's eye”.
I could clearly see things in my vision that I couldn't see before.
A translucent bird was floating next to Alusha.
Its eyes caught me clearly and it flapped its wings on the spot to use its magic.
Normally physical attacks do not work on ghosts and spirits.
But now that I have clear vision with my ”dragon's eye”, I should be able to stop it.
Bashin
I instantly ran towards it and struck the wind spirit with the handle of my sword.
The spirit flies into the sky and disappears.
I silently returned the sword to my back.
”Come on, Spirit of the Wind! Spirit of the Wind! Spirit of the wind...”
Alusha does not know that the spirit has disappeared and has given orders many times.
And she hasn't noticed that I'm behind her either.
”The spirit is gone.”
”Aaaaah! How long have you been there?”
She rolls backwards and falls to the ground on her butt.
When her back hit the tree, she began to sweat profusely, pale-faced.
The proud, self-confident elf disappeared.
”It can't be... The magic is gone.”
”The magic is gone?”
”Ugu”
”I'm asking you to listen to me.”
”Ugugu”
Her expression changes and she looks like she is about to cry.
I begin to feel sorry for her.
Should I stop sightseeing and go home?
”You are credulous, Alusha. Frau's Lord is strong, handsome and the best. Now apologize to him and let him into your village.”
”But...... ”
”Come now. The visit to your village will be under the name of the Fairy Chief's granddaughter. Everything that happens in the Elf Village will be the responsibility of the Fairy Village.”
