27 Episode 26: Battle with Arlaune.txt (2/2)

Master Ellensy!

This Arraune is called Elenchy.

”Cease your attack unless you want this person killed.

Bellamus shouted this in Alraune.

Then he said, ”That's not fair! and other voices.

Just then the magic stopped exactly.

”Someone speaks Arlaunian. Hmm, it's no use tying me up. Magic can be used without limbs.

Then he tries to use his magic.

Vellums tightens the bindings the moment ElenSea says that.

”Ggh!

When the pain occurs, it disrupts your concentration and prevents you from using magic .

''We don't want to be too rough on you either, but if you're going to use your magic, we'll continue.

Gu......

I just want to have a conversation. Maybe we can find a way to end things peacefully with each other.

”...... wow, okay, ...... I don't do magic, ...... loose me.

With that being said, Vellums loosened his bindings .

I was wary that he might use magic after I loosened them, but he didn't. Sounds like an honest man.

”Why did you attack our village?

...... A swarm of demons is coming to our town. I thought we couldn't win, so I took all my friends and ran away, but with nowhere to live and no food to eat, I was at my wits' end. They decided there was nothing left to do but steal it.

Just as I suspected. We have plenty of food in this village. You can feed Alraune and the others. Can we call it off on the battlefield when we give you food?

Ho, do you really mean it? What about this number? Won't we run out of food for ourselves?

Elenthi looked confused.

”It's all right. I've got plenty of food.

Oh, it's true: ......?

I know you don't believe me, but...

If you give us food, we have no reason to fight either: ......

When Elency said that, Vellums let him down and untied the strings.

Then he tells Alraune and the others and tells them to stop the attack.

Was it a good thing that Bellamus had decided to give them food on his own? Wouldn't the goblins refuse? Think of it as .

. it would be a fight if they decided to refuse, but no one would bother to fight it, and the goblins wouldn't want to abandon the one in need .

Anticipating this, I went down from the gate and told the goblins what had happened.

As Vellums had predicted, no one objected to the food being given.
