Chapter 100: It’s not a city, silly

Chapter 100: It’s not a city, silly

H-how

Selius has reached peak bewilderment.

Which was no surprise, given what he just witnessed: the allies who supported him in the battlefield had all fallen down in the village chiefs estate.

GhhS-Seliussama

Forgive us

From their groans, Selius noted that all his guards were still alive.

That was alarming in a different way though. It was like their enemies purposely didnt kill them. For the enemies to be able to do that without having casualties themselves, there must be quite a gap between the two sides strength.

H-how!? How were you guys defeated!?

Selius couldnt process it.

His guards were the best of the best among the Bazurata house, yet they lost to the amateur soldiers of a recently-built city in this wasteland

Worse yet, it has been only a few minutes since the fighting began.

Barrett! What happened!? How can you guys be defeated so easily!?

Selius, who was focused on his one-on-one battle with his sister, didnt know exactly what led to his guards swift defeat.

And so, he tried to ask Barret, the middle-aged soldier who served as the head of this unit.

I-I cant believe it myself, sirughbut it looks like they all have Gifts

What!? Dont be absurd! It should be impossible just to get blessed out here, and youre saying this many people have Gifts!?

Seliuss common sense outright denied what Barret proposed.

However, he knew full well that Barret wasnt the type to make things up, especially not at these moments.

Selius has only gotten more confused.

As though disregarding his troubles, his sister calmly asked something.

Before him was a beautiful girl with unbelievably refined features.

Theres no need to hold back. Many of my kin can use white magic, so healing a wound like that should take no more than a moment.

When Selius looked a bit more closely, he noticed that the girls ears were pointed.

Yes, the girl was an elf.

A-ah-ahh

Whats the matter? Have you perhaps not met an elf before? We arent so different from you humans though. Especially so in this village where everyone is treated similarly. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. Im Philia. I owe a great deal to your sister.

Totally unlike the manufactured elegance of the nobles, Philias movements seemed naturally sublime to Selius.

Before he knew it, his heart was beating madly, and his face has grown bright red.

And, as though he reverted to being a baby, nothing else came out of his mouth but A-ah-ahh

Mhm? Youre so red. Are you feeling alright?

~~~~~~!?

Having noticed the change in Seliuss complexion, Philia brought her face closer to Seliuss.

Like that, Philia delivered the killing blow to Selius.

kyuu

H-hey, pull yourself together!

That day, Selius fell in love with an older elf girl.

Forgive me, father, I will not be able to come home for a while. Selius.

So said the brief letter that Sedes received from his son.
