Vol 3 Chapter 2 (1/2)

“What’s going on here? Why’s there a brat drinking here? Or could it be that this irl drunk for some purpose? Could it be you have lewd intentions in mind?”

Just hearing the woer

She had been so happy spending time with Itami

The ood, and so was the beer She planned to continue teasing Ita out in drunkenness and then hopefully he would carry her to the bed… no, he was practically about to do it

and then, Itaht her to the bed

He laid her body gently on the bed, and then placed a soft pillow under her head

Because he orried about knots in her long black hair, he coet her priestess’ outfit wrinkled, he carefully tidied up her skirt and prepared to remove her boots

He caressed her gently as he held her heel with his left hand and supported her knee with his right, carefully bending her legs into a slight curve Naturally, this would flip up her skirt, and the base of her legs, where they joined her hip, would become visible

However, Itami did not notice Or perhaps he had, but kept quiet

Grasping the end of a bootlace in his left hand, he undid the knot with all the cere a present

After loosening the bootlace, a sap between her calf and the inside of the boot appeared, and Itaers into it to pry it off

“ah~n…”

The feeling was close to a foot estive

And so, now that there was enough space between Rory’s skin and her boot, Ita it off, is that alright?”

Rory’s face was red, and her eyes were closed Then, she nodded gently, almost imperceptibly

However, that was enough for Itami No, in truth, even if she had not responded, Ita filled himself with determination, Itami would not look back With a bit more force than necessary, he pulled off the boot on her left leg And just like that, her legs, once hidden by the jet-black boots, were now exposed in all their glory, covered in white lace-edged socks

“Owie… please… don’t be so rough with nored Rory’s voice, and went to work on her right boot

After finishi+ng up, Ita her boots by the bed

However, her hand grabbed Itao

“What a hopeless fellow you are…”

As he thought of how to deal with Rory, Itaers off and left Or rather, he tried to leave While he was trying, Rory reached out both her hands to grab Ita him

After that, they would do all sorts of s until dawn… or at least, they should have

But now, that… all that… All that was ruined no dare she call me, Rory Mercury, a brat!

Rory clenched her tre hand into a fist and looked at the owner of the voice

At a glance, she seemed to be a Dark Elf female

She looked to be roughly 300 years old, but on the surface she resembled a human in her late twenties

She wore a kind of turban used by the southern tribes when they travelled, and a mantle of some sort

The ician’s robes, but it was sin, so it looked like a piece of cloth worn on the body In a way, it had been carefully made, but the way this woman wore a piece of tatty cloth on her body, with her curves visible through the rents in the fabric, made the people around her quite excited

To begin with, she looked like the sort of woman any hot-blooded male would want In addition, she wore the Dark Elves’ unique “bondage armor”

“Bondage ar, it would be a piece of protective gear It was h leather riveted to ood It would not interfere with the body’s movements in battle and barely in would lewdly display the wearer’s body

The legends of the Dark Elf tribes to the south told of their swift and nimble battle arts That hy they favored this sort of defensive gear

A woman like this now stood proudly before Rory and Itami

Her right hand grasped her saber, and she looked like she was going to kill Itaht then and there

“You, who are you? What are you doing here?”

Before Rory got angry — no, in truth she was already angry, but before she vented her wrath — she wanted to learn so about this woman Given the way she looked, it could not be helped if people got the wrong idea of things, so she did not intend to do so unreasonable like beat her to paste or chop her into pieces Still, she wanted to toy with this woman

The Dark Elf fehtened (apparently) that she was tre all over To calm her down, she decided to answer her question carefully

“My name is Yao, a Dark Elf of the Ducy tribe that lives in the Schwarz forest I ahter of Deban known as Yao Ha Ducy I heard this here I could reen I have a request for them”

When she heard this, Rory’s eyes seemed to shi+ne

Pretending to be a powerless little girl, she hid behind Yao the Dark Elf and begged her for help

“Please, help ging hi me drink!”

The surroundings were already quiet, but now they were even quieter

One could alround

Ita about aze However, nobody ca up their food and swiftly exited the tavern, leaving Itami all by himself

“So that hat he was up to”

“This ets women drunk so he can do whatever he wants with theet me so drunk I couldn’t resist him! Then after I passed out he would do this and that and steal my purity and then discard me like a broken shoe~”

Rory pretended to cry as she covered her face and knelt down

After seeing her like this, Yao tried to co, youin anger at the vile villain standing before her

Itaue out between the hands covering her face Her eyes said, “Sorry~” as she peeked at him

There were certain women who liked to mess with the men close to her For instance, while he drove a car, she would cover his eyes When he scolded her, she would cry and say, ”Don’t be mad~” When she was like that, all the man could do was endure her antics In et their man’s attention

“To think you would intoxicate a child to sate your iive you!”

Yao closed the gap between herself and Ita her saber as she did

She held it forith her right hand, the torchlight shi+ning on its razor-sharp edge

“Fear not I shall end his villainy and life,” Yao told Rory in a co tone

Then, when she looked forward again, all she saas an e on the table

“That… was fast”

“The Boss is really good at running,” the head cook said

“Bye bye Boss~ we’ll put the drinks on your tab~” Delilah smiled

They aving happily to Itaht

Because he had disappeared so quickly, everyone else froze for a second, and then resu had happened

The head cook pinned Itami’s picture to a wall behind the counter, and wrote the day’s sum on the picture in pencil

With nobody to point her saber at, the dark elf stood there in a daze When she came to, she nodded to herself “Hm The villain has fled”

As she returned her saber to its sheath, she wanted to say, “It’s all right” to the little girl, but she was gone

The girl who had been clutching herself in fear until just now had disappeared, as though she had never been there Yao looked around, but she could not find the girl in the black Goth priestess’ clothes It was not that she wanted the girl to thank her, but she should have at least said so before she left

“What a rude brat Fro, could she be a shrine maiden of Emroy?”

“Oi, are you going to order so, or did you just come here to chase my customers away?”

After hearing Delilah’s voice, Yao, who had been planning to eat in the first place, apologized and sat at the counter

Yao turned to the head cook, as holding a knife

“So, what’ll you have?”

“I haven’t had dinner yet So to drink”

“Alcohol alright with you?”

“Yes, thanks”

“Delilah, give that Dark Elf-nee-san a beer”

“Kay~”

There was a Dwarf sitting beside her, and a glance at his red nose and face clearly indicated how much he had drunk He asked Yao, “Yo, Dark Elf lady You’re looking for the ht? Why’s that?”

The Catgirl on the other side of Yao patted her shoulder and asked, “Why’d you coreen ~nya?”

Yao personally did notwith others This acceptance of company could be mistaken for kind-heartedness

“Mood people, with no ulteriorfor the reen because I had a request for them Everyone, do you knohere I could find them?”

“A request?”

“Yes No et their help”

So that hy Rory put on that farce

Everyone realized why Rory the Reaper had chosen to take her revenge in that way As one, they sighed as though to say, “You just drew your sword on one of them, too bad for you”

Whether a mistake or not, hardly anyone would want to heed the request of sooal, she would need to clear up thethe other party’s feelings That was a difficult task to begin with, and noas made even more difficult

The Dwarf ht be impossible”

The Catgirl looked away too “Yes ~nya I think it’ll be really hard ~nya”

“Why is that? I heard the hteous people They should not be the sort to abandon those in need Why does everyone say that?”

Just then, Delilah put a o” Yao looked at the frothy golden liquid and asked, “This is beer?” before taking a mouthful of it

“Mood”

And then the head cook placed a plate of food in front of Yao

As Yao tucked into her dinner, she said, “Of course, I don’t intend to have theave me”

Yao plonked a bag the size of a man’s head onto the table As an aside, there was a talis, empowered by the Lord of the Underworld, Hardy If sohtful owner touched it, they would be cursed

“A raw diamond”

As they saw this, a disturbance started a the mercenaries This was not just a h to buy a marquisate And there was a talisman of Hardy, ruler of the Dark Elves, on it as well Both the talisem were extremely valuable

“And if that is not enough, I will offer my body as well I have prepared myself for that I have already bid farewell to my relatives”

“Ohhhhhhhh~!”

By now, the commotion had spread to some of the women as well

Yao’s body was bewitchingly beautiful There was probably no man on earth ould not be excited if he heard that he could do anything he wanted to that body

One of the mercenaries said, “Why not let me do it,” while the others started to say, “No, let me, no, pick me”

Yao looked to awoman and said, “Ah, what a pain”, and then she smiled Then she turned to the crowd

“I’m sorry, but in all likelihood, none of you will be able to do it”

“Well, that’s true Anything worth staking this treasure and your body on can’t be that simple”

“Ah, yes”

“Then, what is your request?”

Everyone’s eyes were on Yao She took a drink to wet her lips, and then spoke in a grave tone

“I want to exteron”

The Flao

It happened suddenly That said, despite it being the home of the Dark Elves, they had only taken a few casualties at first because ious reasons

However, the Flaain and again to fill its empty stomach, and many of their brethren had been lost one by one

If this went on, the tribe would be destroyed

The Dark Elves abandoned the Schwarz Forest, which was now the Flaround They scattered to the nearby barrens, creeks and foothills

Thus the Dark Elves’ daily life becaon’s attacks

They watched the sky day and night, and even cowered fro birds When the air raid horn sounded, all they could do was hide in their holes like moles and tremble in fear

However, if they were careless, the Flaet them

It would breathe fire into their holes, dig them out, or just collapse the holes on top of them
