Chapter 608

Siegfried’s party, whom I haven’t seen in a long time, seemed to have changed quite a bit in the few months I had been traveling in the Demons’ Territory.

Should I be feeling a bit depressed? It’s not like it’s been awkward since I’ve seen him in a while, so the conversation goes on well... For some reason, he seems to be fine, but it’s clear that he often falls into an unknown depression. At least, since only the self-destructing saintess used the recovery orb, she secretly told her to live well without any ill feelings, and she calmed down a bit.

Even Cheryl did the same. At first, I thought he was just nervous because he was in the middle of enemy lines, but it was clear that he had been together for a long time, so unlike Siegfried and the others, it was clear that he was losing his energy after a long time. I wondered if there was any trouble before I came, so I asked Carl Kansi, but after a long time searching for my memory, the answer came back saying that there was no such thing.

The only thing worth mentioning was the reason why I couldn’t bring Laika... Well, it seemed like Este had a little problem in the process of excessively absorbing divine power, so I decided not to worry. My guess would be correct given that he assumed he was sick because he suddenly fell asleep and didn’t wake up.

Other than that, there was nothing special about the march. It was also the result of not only us but also voluntary taxpayers actively participating in the vigilance of the owners. Even as if proving that they are elite, they all have good stamina, so there is no slowing down.

Thanks to that, I was walking with only the will to rest in my head without much thought, and it was only when I began to see something clearly that the kingdom’s army was stationed in the distance that I belatedly faced the reality.

“Oh, what excuse do you have to your sister?”

I was exhausted and didn’t really think about anything. Running through the middle of enemy lines, setting up to catch a lich, and getting entangled with his body wouldn’t leave a back.

“What excuse are you making all of a sudden? You’ve got a purpose anyway. Whether it’s adding richness or annihilating the enemy’s detachment, isn’t that what it is?”

“What? How do you know that?”

“I was there when the beastmen came to Levien to escort the by-products of the dragon. Now, no one knows that you have caught a dragon.”

I hurriedly rolled my eyes at the shocking news, but not only Siegfried and the others but also Cheryl nodded. The only thing that surprised us was the Demon Lords who were vigilant around us.

“I’ll tell you in advance, Ashley was knocked out.”

Sheryl’s voice adding a wedge to it feels like a death sentence. Since Asili is also on the front line, I thought that sending her home would give her a grace period, but she was caught out like this?

“...Still, wouldn’t it be okay to be fine like this?”

“Originally, while you were involved in an incident, there were more times when you were fine than when you were not. If that was the case, Asilie wouldn’t have worried.”

That’s true too. Even though I knew I couldn’t be sharp, I was trying to figure out a way to do it somehow, and Carl Kansi, who was listening to my conversation with Cheryl, tilted his head and asked a question.

“Isn’t it natural for a hero to achieve this or that feat? Even if he returns unharmed like a guest, I think it’s something to celebrate with both hands open, isn’t the conversation a little subtle?”

“Of course, it’s not that Asilie doesn’t have that kind of heart, but it’s because she’s been with me and raised me halfway.”

“Do you raise? Customers? This is a great person. But are you on the battlefield? Are you older than you thought?”

“Ah, I didn’t get a chance to tell you. Assilie is an elf.”

Reactions as if they had heard the secret of their amazing birth erupted from all sides except for Siegfried, Cheryl, and Sa-Nye-sama. Everyone didn’t raise questions about the upbringing, but I feel that their eyes are directed to my ears as if it’s so natural.

“No, I’m not mixed race.”

“Isn’t it? No matter how much I look at it, I can’t see any signs of an elf, so I wondered what was wrong.”

The soldiers at the garrison welcomed us very warmly. Because they literally welcomed me one-sidedly without questioning or questioning, they treated even the willing taxpayers as my colleagues, and those who suddenly heard one-sided cheers in a mysterious position only looked at me intently without being able to do this or that.

My honest feelings toward the command post after being so welcomed were that it was filthy awkward.

“It’s really awkward because there are only humans.”

Even though I said it myself, I laughed out loud, but what can I do? That’s what I’ve been seeing for months. Every time I hear the cries of soldiers praising me, shouting that I am a dragon slayer, I pass the voluntarily taxpayers to the knights in an illusion that the number of back smashes will increase. Only Ragnis and Asilie with a sullen expression were seated.

“Wow, I don’t know, Ragnis?”

Asilie was still the same even after several months had passed, but Ragnis was in such a shockingly changed state that his true feelings came out without even realizing it. The flame-like hair, freckles on her face, and slightly raised eyebrows were still the same, but now she is fully armed with an unusual-looking armor and is a knight herself that anyone can see without a doubt.

“...That armor, didn’t you get it as a gift from the first princess?”

She looked at me with her arms crossed with a mysterious gaze close to that of an axe, and she only opened her mouth after twitching her eyebrows as she looked at my companions. Thanks to this, Carl Kansi once again quietly raised his question, but this time he was in no position to answer.

“Armors tend to break down a bit when you use them, don’t you think? Don’t look at my older sister as if she’s so suspicious... Oh, there’s something more important than that. The lich I went to catch turns out to be a much more dangerous guy. ”

The eyebrows of the two people, who gave off the feeling that they had real eyes to see and put up with it, wriggled along with the word ‘much more dangerous’, and cold sweat formed on my back.

I was trying to change the topic urgently, but I chose the wrong word! It was Eselua who saved me from not knowing what to do.

“Well, it may sound like an excuse, but Eldmia’s words are true. They say that is the thought of a god who died during the Holy War.”

At the same time, when I cautiously pointed at Mr. Thought, the half-open eyes of Asillie and Ragnis instantly became round. I thought I could overcome the immediate crisis thanks to this, so I nodded vigorously and looked at Mr. Sa-nyeom.

“I just want you to call me ‘sad thought’. I almost became a Demilich vessel without a ceremony, but with Eldmia’s help, I came this far.”

“...Demilich?”

I asked for self-introduction, but it was a very resentful moment for Mr. Sa-nyeom, who put one more word in his mouth and poured oil on the dying flames.
