Chapter 6 - The Forest of Ancient Trees Dyed with Blood ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ (Part 2)
An hour aalking towards the forest from the base camp on the lake
The depth of the forest increased, and the path they are walking to became more liken to an animal’s trail
And by advancing, the visibility becareen that shows pureness becomes denser
The feh of amazement to Junpei who could follow her without difficulty
「To think that a huh the forest path with ease……honestly, I’m surprised」
「Well, I can say that I’m confident with my evasion efficiency stats」
“Hmm…”, the feuous expression of being persuaded or not
And, at that timeーーthe field of vision suddenly cleared
「This, how a……」
「Is it your first tie?」
Rather than describing it as a settlementーーit would be better to call it as just a forest
There are no signs of land cultivation or reclamation at all
Rooiant trees, or floors that are dexterouslyup thick branches with ropes
It could be seen from far away that the furniture is made out of the effective utilization of soil, dry branches and leaves
It could be described as, well, the ulti……
「I see…… this is the elf’s……no, the demi-human’s……huh……」
「Is so the matter?」
「No, it’s just……how can I say this, we……our appearance, you can say that they’re very siht of that We don’t have the idea of……e in this kind of shape」
The female elf said as if to spit out
「Of course You danore the equality of nature……you only use the power of fire With that kind of culture, it would da torn seams is inevitable Our principleーーit is to use Fire・Earth・Water・Wind We will never understand each other」
「…………that ht be so」
“Even between huion……when the scale becoe, it would start wars
If it’s between humans and demi-humans, the difference would be so
Nothing can be done even if he thought of it
And on the side of that Junpei, the fe that is about 5c from her waist
「……that is?」
「It’s a flute I will call all the elf in this village right now, and let them meet you You can be called as my benefactor after all……a banquet should be opened, and you will be welcomed」
「……and then?」
「I’ll tell you the place of the corpses later While everyone’s drunkーーyou should take the least needed liver, and disappear to wherever you want to go」
「Got it」
「……and also, to be sure, bow your head You are a hue You can understand that a spur of the ht?」
Junpei obediently followed, kneeled one leg, and bowed his head
Pyuーーiーーーiiーー
A fewafter the woman blew her flute
He cannot confir his head, but the presences that surrounded Junpei increased one by one
And another few several
The feed Junpei to raise his head
There are about 50 elves surrounding him
And in front of Junpei, a robust man who looks to be in his forties that see firmly
「And so……princess of the Sakuri Clan……Anyus What kind of situation is this? Why did you bring a hue?」
The female elf called Anyus nodded and opened her mouth
「As you know, by reat noble」
「Since you have returned……you have succeeded? And is that one your captive? Honestly, I’e would fail……」
“No”, Anyus shook her head
「I have failed I have completely failed, became captive, and received terrible tortures」
“Hmm……”, the chieftain tilted his head
「However, you have returned here」
「Yes, that is right I have lost on-samaーーthe humans have incurred it However, I have seen the result……they were annihilated」
「Dragon-sao…… this is very hard to believe, but……the sins of those humansーーthey have outreached their selves, they stepped into the holy land without prayers huh……well, I am now convinced」
The chieftain who says that glares at Junpei
「This one is?」
「He is ed」
「And then, what should be the punishment for this one?」
「I think that……beheading his head to display should be adequate」
The chieftain furrowed his eyebrows to Anyus’s words
「Youhim to a horde of orcs in heat?」
“Yes”, Anyus nodded
「We are different froratitude And, our proud race shall never forget the humiliation that we receivedーーin the offset of the sin of all the hu his head for display is adequate」
After thinking for a while, the chieftainnodded, then faced Junpei
「……as you heard If you would be obedient, we shall kill you without pain」
Junpei stood up, and looked at Anyus
「What does this mean?」
Anyus looked away frouilt, she opened her mouth
「……there are elves ere eaten while still alive There are elves that are violated Many of my race……they are killed The roots are deep The hatred is also deep It is impossible to fix it」
「I did not eat theh?」
「Some people needs to take responsibility Our sour heart needs to be calive up, just think that you were unlucky」
A deepーーa very deep sigh
Their deep anger, sadness, and hatred
I could understand very well, why did it become like this, I really doーーbut
「Haha!……hahaha……! Hahahahahaha!! This girl……you’re ridiculous! Hahahahaaha!ahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah!!」
Junpei laughed out loud while holding his stomach
However, his eyes does not show life Its colors were completely the same with that of a dead fish
“Goddamnit”, he raised his foot, and released his eround
「Hey……why did it became like that? Why, why huh! Hey, tell me?! Kido, Noriko, even themーーand it’s also the same with youーーwhy are you like that? Why, why? Why are you soーーstupid?」
His words ended
