34 - Episode 1 Sasha and Fiancee

In the afternoon, a man and a woman were elegantly sipping tea together in the garden where the sun shone through the gentle trees.

Both of them are elves, sitting at a white table and chairs, chatting with a maid.

Sasha, a female elf species, happily talks to the man sitting across from her.

Light, who was a candidate for "master," looked despairing when he found out that we had played him for a fool. I shot him in the leg with one of my arrows, making him immobile, and he said, 'You're imposters!　I swear to you, I'm an impostor! And then he started screaming. It was really an ugly face of despair like a human being (inferior species). But for some reason, it was so funny that I could hold my stomach and laugh. I would have loved to have shown it to Mikael.

The man sitting in front of her, while listening to the story of what actually happened in her hideous past, was heartily smiling and voiced his agreement.

Sasha's stories are always so delightful to hear," he said. If I could, I would have loved to see the look of despair on the face of the human (inferior) boy who was a candidate for "Master" who danced so badly. We sometimes destroy human villages or kill travelers or human (inferior species) who escape after witnessing the scene, but when they are killed, their faces become even uglier than usual and they beg for their lives. They are men and women, young and old. But on the contrary, it is so ugly that it is very interesting.

I understand!　I understand so much!　Wright, too, was about to be killed, and even though he looked uglier and dirtier than usual, that part made me belly laugh."

The man sitting across from Sasha is her fiancé.

His name is Mikael. He is of the Elven race, male, of royal blood, and is the deputy commander of the "White Order," the most powerful order of knights in the Queen Elven Kingdom.

He has blond hair carefully trimmed so as not to get in the way, glasses, and a soft, handsome face. He has the air and appearance of a serious, brilliant man, but his physique is broad-shouldered and deep, as he is the vice-captain of the "Queen Elf Kingdom's Strongest Order of the White Knights.

In other words, he is a man of both literary and military prowess.

The two share a mutual understanding of the ugliness and hilarity of human mortality and begging for one's life, as if they were watching a comedy play.

Both men are beautiful, but the content of their conversation is the height of ugliness.

Sasha and Mikael both agree that "the ugliness of human beings begging for their lives is hilarious," so the story of killing a boy who was a candidate for "Master" has become a regular topic of conversation at every tea party.

So, about three years ago, Sasha, an elf, as one of the members of the "Gathering of Tribes," made contact with a light who was suspected to be a "master" and took him in as a friend.

After about three months of investigation, it was determined that he was not a "Master" and he was ordered to be killed just to be safe.

He was taken to the world's biggest, strongest, and worst dungeon, "The Abyss," and tried to kill him, but he escaped.

To be precise, Sasha shot Light in the leg and Garou tried to stop him, but Light's outstretched hand accidentally activated a transfer magic circle.

In the meantime, Sasha and the others searched as much as possible for Light, who had been transferred to somewhere in the dungeon, but in the end they could not find him.

However, a human (inferior species) child, who could neither walk nor run properly due to an arrow piercing his leg and bleeding, had been transferred to somewhere in the world's largest, strongest, and worst dungeon, "The Abyss.

Attracted by the smell of blood, he was attacked by monsters, and ended up being eaten to death.

As a result, all the members agreed that "Light was dead," and reported it to the upper management.

The upper management also listened to what the members had to say and decided that "there was little chance of Wright surviving.

They made a decision to admit his death.

As a reward for the murder of the suspected human, Sasha was betrothed to Mikael, the deputy commander of the White Knights, a man of royal blood, and was paid a reward that would allow her to live happily ever after.

Mikael is of royal blood, but the Queen Elf Kingdom is a matriarchy, and as a male, he has no claim to the throne.

But royalty is royalty.

The hand-wringing of his parents and sisters when they learned of the large bounty and his engagement to Mikael was so amusing that it makes me laugh in my belly no matter how many times I recall it.

And--and the good times really do fly by!"

Mikhail notices that it is time for the tea party to end and gets up from his seat.

He gently extends his hand to Sasha over his glasses.

Sasha takes his hand and stands up, her cheeks tinted with a look of enchantment at Mikhail's handsome face.

Mikhail smiles as he lovingly holds her hand.

I am so glad I met you, Mister Sasha," he says. I am a rugged knight, and it is not often that I find a lady who can talk so well with me. We are very compatible.

I am so happy to be engaged to Mikael-sama. I'm so happy, it's like I'm dreaming. ......

That's my line.

Oh, my God, Mikael-sama."

They look at each other and laugh happily.

Mikael remained there until Sasha got on the carriage and disappeared from sight, like two lovers regretting the end of their meeting.

Sasha, too, kept looking back out the window of the carriage until Mikhail was out of sight.

The state has decided on this fiancée as one of the rewards, but the chemistry seems to be very good.

The carriage proceeds down the capital road of the Queen Elf Nation.

Inside the carriage is seated Sasha, and one of the elf-kind maids she employs.

Sasha lets out a happy sigh.

'Hah ...... Mikael-sama, you looked wonderful today.'

'Yes, I envy the young lady who was able to marry Master Mikael. The young lady and Mr. Mikael are both so beautiful that I thought they would make a really good match for each other."

The maid of honor tactfully lifts Sasha up and tells her the line.

She accepted the compliment with a good mood.

Thank you," she said. If you say so, it's worth all the effort I put into becoming a woman worthy of Mikael-sama.

Although he made a fair amount of effort to improve his beauty and culture, the most difficult part was raising his level of skill.

At the time, Sasha's level was around 300.

Mikhail's level was over 2000. As expected, there was too much of a gap between the two, so we had to make an effort to make up for it.

This is the reason why we stopped at engagement instead of marriage for about three years.

He literally worked himself to death to get up to around level 500.

Somehow, he was able to get it right and finally received permission to marry Mikael.

He said, "You really worked hard for Mikaël-sama. There is still a lot of preparation to do, but it is very moving to think that by the end of this year, the young lady will be married.

I'm already in a hurry," he said. The end of this year is still a long way off.

If you keep your guard up like that, your wedding day will be here before you know it. Don't let your guard down and let the waist of your wedding dress get too tight.

I'm going to be rude. I wouldn't do that -- oops, what?　Stop suddenly."

The carriage comes to an abrupt stop while the maid and I are having a womanly conversation.

Sasha, the employer, called out to her, and the gentleman moving the carriage turned around to explain.
