Chapter Three: The Golden Elf[]
The first thought that crossed Saito’s irl was…
Golden light
During the dreaht at the end
That light beca Saito’s eyes
He hastily squinted Once he got used to it, he saw that she wasn't really shi+ning However, the girl's presence was so strong it felt like an illusory light
The girl who showed up was beautiful No, the word beautiful was too trite, she had a divine, pretty face When she moved, one wanted to kneel down and worshi+p her
“Hada, wada, howada” For the ti any words
“What's wrong?” The girl was obviously confused enough to need to ask the question
“No-that-nothing-this”
The girl looked hesitant for a , took a deep breath and approached Saito She wore a green, crude, short, one-piece dress, but rather than da her beauty it cos ran down her short skirt hite sandals fra her pretty feet
That simple attire accentuated her beauty and created a friendly atmosphere
Upon nearing Saito the girl laughed forcibly She obviously tried hard tosmile didn't radiated beauty but kindness
“Thank goodness Because you slept for teeks… I orried that you ht not awaken”
“Did I sleep for that long?” Although he was surprised that he slept for teeks, the girl’s beauty was even
It looked as if she was covered with light since her long golden hair on all sides of her, like a waving golden sea, reflected sunlight falling froht danced on her face
It was like a co the face with a perfect outline and silhouette Beautiful but it made one nervous at the same time Such a beautiful person without any noticeable flaws
And pointed ears peeped through crevices of her golden hair
Ears like that are quite unusual, he thought while trying to h his side Until now he had never felt such debilitating pain But that pain ht Saito while tre
Relief filled Saito the same ilted flowers absorbed water He was safe for now and was he sith a torrent of emotions
“I see… I'm alive…”
Gradually he was ht like that, even the aching wounds on his body felt near and dear
Teary-eyed Saito muttered “Ah, if it hurts it means I am alive”
Seeing that…
“W-well… are the bandages too tight?” Blinking her clear, big, green eyes, the girl reached for Saito
After confirirl's beauty felt more real and made Saito’s heart tremble
Oh, if I were to touch someone as beautiful as her, I would certainly receive heaven's punishment
Saito immediately retracted He felt like a simpleton
The girl opened her eyes wide as she noticed that an ear was peeping from the crevice of her hair and hurriedly covered it with both hands In an instant her cheeks were flushed pink
“S-sorry”
“Eh?”
“But don’t worry I won’t do any harm”
Saito stared blankly at her It seeht An unexpectedSaito lost his nerve only because of her beauty, not because of fright
“No no! That, I am not afraid But because of your b-b-bb…”
“Bb?”
“Beauty, well…”
Saying that Saito colored up He was not used to saying ”You are beautiful” to a girl
She made a surprised face
“Beauty?”
“Y-yes”
“You think so even after you saw my ears?” She removed her hands from her ears
“Yes”
Suspicious, Saito nodded Certainly, pointed ears were unusual However, in Halkeginia with its orcs, dragons, water spirits, there lived s At this point, pointed ears did not surprise hiuess there are people ould not think so
“…really, you are not shocked? Not scared?” She watched Saito with a doubtful face
“Really, I am not shocked nor scared Why would I be afraid? Why do you need to ask? Besides, there are a lot ons and trolls”
The girl was relieved, “It’s unusual for a human to not be afraid of an elf”
“Elf?”
Saito had heard the name He delved to the bottom of his memory and recalled it Well it was certainly mentioned in some talks This was the na to the rumors they were vicious, and lived on bad terms with humans in a holy land
He did think theirl in front of him was far from that
“Yes, elf And I airl muttered with a touch of self-hatred Thereupon, a shadow covered her porcelain features and melancholy took over her face
Confused for a hts
Hey Saito, it's not tiirl
Isn't there anything else for you to worry about?
How did I survive?
What happened to the war?
Louise?
Siesta?
Everyone?
However, there was so else to do before that He’d ask later
Saito said while pointing at the bandages around his body,“Did you help me?”
“Yes,” the girl nodded
“I see… Thank you Honestly, thank you” Saito thanked her ratitude
The girl smiled shyly
Soed Saito’s words Despite her beauty, she seemed to lose her composure easily
Though this girl's behavior was naturally cute, Saito endured Noasn’t the tis that he wanted to hear first
But so was amiss
Wasn’t it a little strange?
She helped me?
Hey hey, wasn’t he battling against an army of 70,000?
Froe clothes So hoas she able to help hie army?
Gradually, suspicion built in Saito’s mind
Then, her beauty, and the at her…
What if this elf woman was an enemy?
She tried to make me feel relieved to draw out some information…
When you think about it, this beautiful girl in front of me could really be an enemy’s trap In movies and anime, the spies were usually beautiful women
Moreover, after co Louise, Saito realized one the truth
What looks cute may not be so from the inside
Such was the truth And from the evidence that his body obtained – it was unshakable truth
With such a truth, he becairl
“Fufufu…”
“What's wrong?”
Saito, cleared his throat, and asked in an calm voice
“I really want to expressI want to know”
“Please”
“Where did you find me?”
“You were lying in the forest so I brought you here”
Lying in the forest?
Didn’t I fall, surrounded by a large army?
What forest?
Saito narrowed his eyes and watched the girl suspiciously
Due to this, the atmosphere started to feel aard…
“W-well, I’ll bring you food”
Saying that, the girl tried to leave Saito gripped her arm
“Where have you put my sword?”
“Aah, that sword is yours? I do not know but he was ht that it was better to not wake you up, so I placed him in the room on the other side…
Saito puckered up his eyebrows He recalled words from an old detective drama The beauty of a rose has thorns And in the end, the beautiful woman was a criminal damn, and said aloud,
“There must be a reason for Derf to be so loud”
“Even if you say that, there must be a reason…”
She said in an e her hand, the girl shamefully bit her lip
“W-well… please, that, hand…”
The girl struggled to shake off Saito's hand However, Saito didn't let go Frowning in pain, he drew the girl's slender forirl's cheeks increased even more
“Uo… please”
“Tell me the truth”
But Saito was co down a cri character Even an encounter with death could not fix such a painful personality
“You are from the Albion army Say it, A-L-B-I-O-N”
“N-no I am not related to Albion nor to an army”
With frightened face, girl shook her head However, Saito’s detective feelings sense was completely convinced that she was part of the Albion army
“Then hoas 'lying in the forest'? I lost consciousness in the middle of an enemy army! So there!”
“I-I do not kno…”
“Spit it out!”
“Ah”
