CH 17

When I thought I had landed in a human village, it turns out to be the elf village that should have been in the lost forest.

Why did this happen?

As a completely suspicious person, I obediently followed the instructions of the elves and was taken to a big house.

“Um, an elf, right?”

“Ah, right. can’t you understand by seeing me?”

I ask one of the guys with the bow, but that attitude, so unfriendly.

The inside of the house looks similar to the house of the elf queen shown in the game. And on the throne, the beautiful queen I saw in the game is sitting.

“You are human, right?”

“Yes, my name is Allen.”

“Then, Allen-san. For what did you come to this village?”

The Queen begins her interrogation

“I’m sorry. I got lost. I was actually trying to go to another human village.”

“Don’t lie!”

“Please be quiet. But, our village is protected by the power of spirits. You humans and demons should not be able to pass through that forest. How on earth?”

“I came from the sky”

“From the sky, you say? Does that mean you have the magical power to keep flying over that forest?”

“Well, yes. If you say it like that.”

“What …”

It looks like the Queen got shocked.

“Her Majesty, that shouldn’t be possible. I can’t feel that much magical power from this person.”

An aide like man seems to be suggesting to the Queen to prove me wrong. I have a hunch that such a character did not appear in the game.

“certainly, I don’t feel strong magic power, but … right, Allen-san. Do you have any blessings?”

Should I say? Well, the opponent is not human but the elves who were supposed to hate humans in the game, so it’ll be okay probably.

“For the time being, I did receive the blessing of〖Wind God〗.”

The Queen stood up in a surprised manner.

“Is, is that true?”

“It’s true.”

I unlock the〖Wind God〗on the status that was hidden by 【Concealment】 and show the status of the guild card.

“Ooh! God didn’t abandon us.”

I’m impressed with how they exaggerated, but what exactly does that mean?

“Umm… Your majesty. I can’t seem to perceive the story at all …”

“Ah, that’s right. I’m sorry. Allen-san, no, Allen-sama. Please save our village.”

“Yes?”

Why did the event start? There Shouldn’t be any monster casualties for the request yet.

“Actually, an evil spirit has appeared in the lost forest. At first, It was only active in the lost forest, but gradually it starts coming closer to this village.”

It’s an event I knew nothing of. Did the evil spirit appear before the monsters appeared? What a series of disasters!

While keeping in mind the impressions of other people, I try to match the story for the time being.

“Um, What has it done?”

“That evil spirit chases us and the spirits. However, because of its slow movement, no one has been injured yet. But, if this goes on, damage may occur and eventually, we will not be able to protect the forest and the village.”

“In other words, an evil spirit is attacking you, so I need to repel it, right?”

“Yes. you are blessed by the god of the wind. If it’s you, I’m sure you can do it.”

“Isn’t that kind of request falls under the priest’s territory?”

“I want to invite as few humans as possible to this village because there is an unfortunate history between humans and elves.”

I see. It wasn’t drawn in the game, so something like this also happened.

“Mother! You don’t have to rely on a human like him. I’ll get rid of it for you.”

A cute girl of about 15 years old, came in. I knew her. She was the one who asked to get rid of monsters in the game. I remember her being the princess of this village, and contrary to what she looked like, she was in her mid-20s.

“Sheryl Laura! I’m talking to a guest right now. Please go back.” (Tl: in the raw, name of the princess was シェリルラルラ. If anyone can translate it do suggest me in the comment.)

“But!”

“The evil spirit has returned!”

It seems that the evil spirit just appeared during our conversation.

“I’m going to get rid of it”

“Shery! Wait! Shery!”

Sheryl Laura-san starts running. Also, some elves chase after her.

“Allen-sama …?”

“Um … do I have to go? Huh! okay … I’m going, But Don’t expect much, okay!”

They were staring at me with a very expected expression, which made me feel very uncomfortable. So, I decided to go see it for the time being.

***

And we came to the square, but what’s that strange thing supposed to be.

A man with a wizard-like vibe is raising his hands diagonally up in front while moving slowly. He seems to be moving with the gesture of chasing something… right, something similar to butterflies.

However, his movement is rather slow.

Besides, that man is also very slender, or it may be said that he looks ghastly. his wizard’s robe is also tattered.

Ah, No doubt. He is a completely suspicious person.

“Kuu, you came, evil spirit. Take this!”.

Sheryl Laura-san shoots an arrow. However, the arrow that should have hit the suspicious person changed its trajectory and deviated before reaching.

“Your Majesty, is that the evil spirit?”

“That’s right. That black, ominous fog like thing chasing the spirit is the evil spirit.”

“A spirit? A black fog? I can only see a suspicious person chasing alone something that I can’t see.”

“Allen-sama, can you see the true identity of that fog?”

“Um, is it not visible?”

“…”

Silence flows between me and the Queen.

Meanwhile, Sheryl Laura-san and the elves in the village are in a state of panic.

As the suspicious person close in, the elves got frightened and start crying and fleeing. Some franticly fired arrows and even began to cast magic.

However, neither the arrow nor the magic reaches the suspicious person.

“Allen-sama, I’ll help you to see the spirits temporarily.”

When the Queen put her hand on my head, it felt like something enter my body.

“How do you like it?”

When I look at the suspicious person again, I can certainly see something like a small light beyond. If you look closely, it looks like a little girl.

“Oh, that’s true. He was already a suspicious person, but now he looks like a more problematic suspicious person.”

“in that case……”

Don’t look at me with such praying eyes.

“for, for the time being, I’ll try to persuade him.”

I said so and start walking towards the suspicious person.

“Hey, the wizardly old man? it’s a crime to chase after a little girl like that.”

When I called out, the suspicious person was stunned.
