133-133-Return to the Elven Village

The time goes back a bit, a few hours after Kanata and the others arrived in Yazmat Province.

After leaving the party, Satsuki and the others returned to the Holy King's Capital, Platena, through Fleur's spatial transfer, and headed straight for the Elf village...

128 years of St. King's history, red moon, 30 days before noon

＜The Forest of Elves, south of the Holy City of Plato.

'Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Satsuki dashes through the forest without paying attention to Ola's screams.

Then I see an upturned elven man with his eyes turned upside down in front of me.

I'm pretty sure his name is 'Judas-san' or something like that and his day job is a potter, but suddenly he says from the top of a tree, 'Who are you people! And just as I was getting ready with my bow, Fleur suddenly struck first.

It's okay ... I just put you to sleep with magic.

That'll come in handy for those nights when you're so gung-ho you can't sleep!

But it's not sleep, it's a coma. You'll hit your head on the corner of the bed if you're not careful.

It's not a bad idea to have a good time with your friends.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about.

In response to that question, Fleur shook her head and smirked as she popped her head on the oira.

The rude person who threatens you all of a sudden has no name to call himself.

"Why not?

For some reason, I look at Fleur, who snickers with pride, and while my shoulders slump, I carry Judah-san on my back, dragging her along with me.

You're not going to leave that behind, are you? Are you serious?

You're right...

It's hard to carry a large adult, but thanks to being trained by always being Satsuki's luggage carrier, it's surprisingly not hard.

Besides, Haruru, who should have been saying negative things with her mouth, somehow helped me carry it, so it was a big help. .

........But even though we've been apart for nearly a year, it's somehow strange to me that I can tell how to get to the village just by looking at the trees in the forest.

It's difficult to express in words, but I guess it's like 'I understand somehow'.

When we reached the village, I called out to the others, "Hey, stop!

'Hey, stop!'

"Oh?

I step forward while controlling Satsuki, who has been walking at the front, with my hand.

I'm going to walk in front of you from here on out because there's going to be a lot of noise if Satsuki continues to lead the way.

''Indeed. It would be scary if they suddenly attacked you with arrows like they did when the inn was attacked~

She is talking about the night of the first time she met everyone.

It was when the assassins sent from the elf village had shot a poisonous arrow into the inn.

I was supposed to be running away so as not to get everyone else involved, but to have my life threatened was indeed a shock, even remembering it now.

..........and then I thought that Fleur smiled suspiciously, 'Kukku' for some reason.

''Don't worry...............If you are attacked, that time it will be double payback.

"I have no idea what's going on, but please let me have a normal conversation with the next person I meet.

Despite my earnest pleas, for some reason, Fleur just smirked at me.

I'm inwardly nervous that Satsuki and the others will destroy the Elf Village if they don't do something about it, as I continue on my way through the rugged forest with Ila in the lead.......

◇ ◇.

＜Elvish village.

Then we arrived at the village of the elves without incident.

"'Mm, who are you people, aren't you Jupiter?　And how the hell do you carry Judas on your back?　Who did this to me!

"Judas is dead?

I had expected it, but the whole village was in an uproar.

Or, if anything, the fact that Judah-san has been beaten up is more of the cause of the commotion than the fact that Ila has returned.

However, if Judah-san wakes up, the truth will be revealed, and it's best to be honest about it beforehand.

I'm sorry, I was startled by the sudden threat, and my friends were so surprised that I beat them up.

What?

And everyone's eyes turned to my companion I mean, Satsuki.

'Huh?　Me?

Satsuki seems to be scowling as everyone's attention is drawn to her.

''My God........Judah guy, you got beaten up by this little girl!

''This guy said before that he wasn't good at exercise, and I guess he can't do security on duty, after all. Lorna from the flower shop is next, right?

"You'd be better off getting a decent wage and having a guy who's proud of his skills...

The adults started talking about the inside story of the village, and I feel sorry for them.

But the Elf village has changed a lot in a year, even though they didn't have any guards before.

After that, villagers continued to gather around one after another, but the impact of the big incident of "Judah was attacked by a human girl" was too strong, so I was completely through with it from the middle.

Can I cry about this?　I'm going to cry, right?

And just when I was feeling the urge to go home as soon as possible

"Jupiter-kun!

From across the village, I heard a gentle voice calling my name, Ola.
