179 [3-36] 大いなる償い (2/2)

A plea in a voice that trembled as if it were grinding away at life.

Rene looked down at her with a snicker.

You know the position?　You have betrayed, defied, and lost, and you are no longer in a position to negotiate. And don't expect any mercy.

That was not ...... her decision to do that. ............

The will of the fathers was the only thing ...... that drove her.

I'm sure you're aware of that. But, you know, we all followed it instead of stopping it, didn't we?

Everis shrugs his shoulders and says lightly.

I'm not even scoffing. It was just a job she had to handle.

The elven warrior stumbled over her words.

She made no excuses. Just begging.

I will give you ...... whatever I can give you.

Life, ...... body, ...... soul, ............!

No, not ......!

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

He was trying to crawl away, lurching like a caterpillar.

We are the people,......, not Rielramirez,.............

We are the human race ...... and there are lines that must not be crossed, gosh, gosh!

”Everis, can you shut that thing up?

He's still the Vice Chief. I know this is uncomfortable, but I might need to use something else, so wait a little longer.

One sigh. Everis ignored Jivarmaguza and crouched down in front of Rieramires.

”Elven warrior. I understand your resolve. I'm a little impressed, witch.

I have something important to say to you.

You want to protect this forest and all your friends, don't you?

Everis spoke in a gentle tone, like a con artist's sales talk.

”You want to make her your first?

”Unless you don't mind.

”...... Yes. I think it's a good idea.

I think it's a bit random, but it's not a bad idea if it's her, right here, right now. It's part of the plan anyway.

Rene glances at the half-dead priestess. I'd feel bad if I didn't hurt her, but it doesn't have to be murder.

Rene decided that it would be okay to keep her alive if she was useful as a hostage.

Everis pointed over his shoulder at Cruzsalina with his thumb.

”She's over there, but... It's not like she's going to die anytime soon even if we let her go.

I can't live in a forest contaminated by evil spirits, and if I'm affected by that much evil spirit, I'll die of weakness soon, and the Imperial Army will attack.

You're no different.

”That ...... is .......

Riela Milles couldn't make up her mind.

The forest is not functioning properly and the tribe's leaders have fallen victim to the evil spirit. The situation was deadly.

There's no point in trying to save one life now.

But there is a way to solve that problem once and for all.

Everith's mouth parted deeply into the shape of a crescent moon.

”You can fall.

You can fall into the Dark Elves, the dwellers of the Forest of Doom, the dark family who pray to the new moon. ......
