48 - Episode 15 Conversation with Sasha

Sasha, an elf with golden threads of hair that reach to her back and pointed ears, has not changed her facial features despite the fact that it has been three years.

If she were human, she would have changed a little more, but I have to say that she is an elf.

Suppressing my inner rage, I calmly reply.

......I'm in a meeting amongst my peers, what can I do for you?"

You little kid, take off that funny mask and show me your face."

She does not listen to anything we say and tells us one-sidedly what she wants.

（I can't stop the feeling that I want to kill her right now!)

If I had not been wearing a mask, my anger would have been on full display.

On the other hand, the calm part of my mind decided that the power of "SSR, Mask of the Clown" seems to be functioning properly - and it is.

It may be through the mask, but thanks to the illusory and perception-disturbing effects of "SSR, Mask of the Clown," she doesn't even recognize my voice even though she hasn't heard it in a long time.

Nemmu interrupts me with a low, angry tone, as if linked to my emotions.

'Didn't you hear me?　We are in the middle of an important meeting to go into the forest. Do you have any common sense to suddenly talk to us and just tell us what you want?"

I didn't tell you!　Don't get carried away with your human (inferior species) habit just because you're a little bit good looking!"

I'm not getting on your good side. I know many people who are more beautiful and prettier than me, so I can't be in good shape. ...... Would you rather not blame us for your lack of confidence in your own appearance?"

This human (inferior species).......

Sasha's face turns red when Nemmu belittles her appearance in a roundabout way.

Nemmu is not intentionally trying to stir up Sasha.

In fact, there are many beautiful women and girls in the "Nahuraku" such as Mei, Aoyuki, Ellie, Nazuna, and other fairy maids who are as beautiful as she is.

And to be honest, even if there were no family favoritism, the adventurers around her would ask themselves, "Who is more beautiful, Nemmu or Sasha? I felt that Nemmu would win 9 to 1, although it is a matter of taste.

Sasha must have understood this and turned red because she could not refute it.

I felt a slight pent-up emotion in my heart at the sight of her.

Hey, Sasha-sama ......

The two were surprisingly loud in their altercation.

The surrounding adventurers were also saying, 'What is it?　What is it?" The first time I saw a woman in the room, she looked at me as if she wanted to say, "I'm sorry, I don't understand.

The blonde and silver-haired elven adventurers who seemed to be members of Sasha's party opened their mouths to admonish her, but they seemed to be in a lower position than she was, reaching out their hands half-heartedly and only making a few remarks.

It could be said that they didn't have the courage to enter into an argument between women.

Nemmu and Gold were also trying their best not to show their emotions in front of Sasha, my avenging partner.

However, I got the impression that they prioritized suppressing their emotions and didn't do anything else.

I'm not going to ...... be bothered to draw any more attention to myself.

'I understand. You can take off your mask. But I was badly burned in a fire, so I'm hiding my face with a mask. To be honest, it's not something I would show to others, but is that okay?"

I am the fiancée of the Vice Commander of the White Order, and I am the one who gave the order, so stop messing around and take it!"

"...... understand."

I honestly take off my mask, as any more dealing with the hysterical and fussy Sasha is likely to attract more attention.

Hee!　Ugh!　It's disgusting!"

As soon as she sees my face - the power of "SSR, Mask of the Clown" to be precise, the burns made by the illusion - she holds her mouth and starts to vomit.

The two blonde and silver-haired elven adventurers behind Sasha also suppressed their mouths and looked away.

Sasha, who hates ugly things, immediately screamed.

Sasha, who hates ugly things, immediately shouted, "Quick, hide your disgusting face!"

............"

Tell yourself 'show me' and then 'hide' or .......

He is fooled by illusions and is a foolish being who is too concerned with appearances. They don't even know what is real and don't notice anything when they see a fake up close.

They are really too foolish.

I silently put my mask back on.

Sasha stared at us again and spat out a pale face, as if her burnt face was still flickering in her mind.

Don't show me something disgusting!　This is really why I hate humans!

Now, Lady Sasha, please wait!"

She spits unilaterally and walks away, leaking her anger.

Behind her, two elf-like adventurers, one with blond hair and the other with silver hair, followed her.

As she leaves, her mutterings fall on deaf ears.

'It can't be Wright, it's been nearly three years. ...... If they were humans, they would have grown up more. ......

Apparently, he approached me because my stature resembled the figure he saw about three years ago when he tried to kill me in the "Nadu" dungeon.

(I used to pretend to be fair to my race ....... I didn't realize his actual true nature was that ugly. ......)

I suppose it is easy to act and deceive for a short period of time. It would have been especially easy to fool a young boy in his early teens who had just come out of the countryside and had just become an adventurer.

I feel sorry for my old self who could not see the true nature of the situation.

At the same time, I was able to feel a renewed sense of "I will definitely take revenge on that traitorous elf species, Sasha.

After seeing Sasha's back off, I turned back to Gold and Nemmu once again.

I looked back at Gold and Nemm again. "......I know I'm interrupting something, but let's continue the meeting. I'd like to get this over with and dive into the forest.

"Mm, got it."

That woman, I'm sorry for the extra hassle. ...... As Mr. Dirk said, let's get this done ASAP and go into the woods."

In fact, most of the forest is already known to us, having received information via Ellie and Aoyuki in advance. Therefore, there is no need to get lost. Once we move to a place in the forest where there are few or no people, we are supposed to meet up with the people sent by Elie and the others at the right time.

However, we wanted to avoid acting unnatural as much as possible in the midst of all the attention.

Therefore, we had a meeting as if we were ordinary adventurers.

After the meeting, we enter the forest with Nemmu in the lead.

With Nemmu leading the way, our first goal was to find a secluded spot where we planned to meet up.
