Chapter 71 – 43. Once Caught.

“Eww!!?”
“Oh, are you awake?”

The elf, embarrassed by having his hands, feet, and mouth tied, glared at me.

“Do you think I’ll let you go if you stare at me like that? Stay still, don’t lose your strength.”

Allen took out a piece of jerky from her bag and chewed on it, watching the elf continue to mumble.

‘Even though he’s stupid, his face is worth looking at. The body is also flat.’

The taste of chewing beef jerky, watching her chained stupid elf, was heavenly.

Her clothes were disheveled as she struggled while tied to a rope.

Looking at her rebellious eyes over and over again, she wanted to make a mess with various items and tools and put it under her feet, but she decided to hold back for now.

After all, the purpose of coming here was to obtain the moonlight plant.

“Hey, isn’t it hard because you’re tied up too? Therefore. If you nod your head at what I am saying, I will let you go.”

When she was told that she would let her go, her body stopped struggling for a moment, but she soon said it. .

“First of all. Is the moonlight plant in the forest?”
“…Ugh…!”
“Oh, I’ll just let you go. Come on, tell me.”
“Quickly release this, human!”

An elf threatening Allen with an intimidating voice.

However, no matter how much she threatened her while she was tied up, there was nothing to be afraid of.

In this situation, she made several plans.

“It’s so inferior and meaner than the Orcs that you can’t understand what I’m saying, ah, ah!?”
“They’re talking cheaply.”
“What, what, all of a sudden! Why the forehead…! Huh!?”

Night.

Allen cuts her off by slapping a beet on the white forehead of the elf who is making a loud threat.

“If you don’t answer my words properly, I will hit you again.”
“Ooh, don’t be funny! Go, dare to be a noble forest fairy…! Hee-hee!?”

Pain seemed to return to Allen’s fingers that had come before her eyes.

“…? Ouch!? You you! What are you doing now!!”
“What are you doing? I just hit you because you didn’t listen to what I said and said strange things.”
“No, that’s not it! Why the hell did you hit me when I closed my eyes and opened them!!”
“So it’s chewy, right? The one who hits, the one who gets hit. Well, then I ask you one more time. Where is the moonlight plant?”

****

“Well, if you go over there, there’s a colony of moonlight plants…”
“There is?”
“Yo. This…”

An elf rubbing his forehead and guiding us through the moonlight plant colony with his feet tied.

“If you do something stupid, take care of yourself.”
“Ah Okay…!”
“Uh?”
“…Yo. This…”

It was quite interesting to see the elf rebelling in a small way with a weeping voice as she touched her swollen forehead.

“But human.”
“Why?”
“Am I really not a slave trader? Right?”
“How many times have I said that I am not a slave trader? How many times have I told you that I came just because I needed a moonlight plant?”
“Ah, okay, don’t be so angry…”

The elf, who appeared with pride, shrank in fear before he knew it.

“Hey.”
“Oh, uh! Oh, why are you calling me?”
“The Elves are proud and full of camaraderie among themselves, aren’t they?”
“That’s right! We elves are very special in camaraderie!”

‘You only hear what you want to hear. Is that a talent too?’

“Anyway, why are you guys who have 100 arrows and even use spirits to be afraid of slave traders?”
“That, that… That, that…”

When I ask why he is afraid of the slave trader, the confident guy shrinks again and stutters his words.

“Sah, actually…”
“Colette! Run!”

Calling someone’s name from somewhere, with the sound of tearing the wind, the rope I tied to the elf’s leg snaps helplessly and runs away.

“Come soon.”

To be honest, I expected an elf to come to rescue a navigation slave.

“There, human. Raise your hand. If you don’t, I’ll shoot you in the head.”

The navigation elf, who had run away before I knew it, saw an elf who had saved her and warned me while aiming at me.

“Here it is. I’m not really a slave trader, I’m just here to pick up a few roots of moonshine. So that elf…”
“That’s a lie, Rosaria! Hey, human boy! My forehead like this…! Made like pebbles rolling in the wilderness! Punish me!”

‘Haa… That must be disciplined.’

Matana Allen, the horse of the newly appeared elf, raises her hand to express that she has no intention of attacking.

‘Shall I raise my hand? I have insurance anyway.’

“Good night. Stand still Colette.”
“Yes, Rosaria! Shall I kill you?”
“Go and tie that human up.”
“Uh? Uh, tied up? Note, there is no line…”
“It’s not a rope that’s tied around your ankle, is it a piece of jewelry? That’s enough to tie your hands, so go quickly and tie them tightly.”

Collette, the navigation elf, cautiously returned to me with a crawling voice.

“You are dead now! Do you think you dare touch me and return safely…!”

Colette, who approached me, smiled with a mean expression even after tying my feet and hands with a quiet, yet wicked voice, but unfortunately, the tips of her pointed ears continued to tremble as if that were not the case.

“Rosaria! Tied up! What are you going to do now?”
“When everything is tied, let’s go back to the elder.”
“Okay! You are dead now! Bee~!”

When asked to go back to the elder, Corette sticks out her tongue and teases me for her hands being tied.

“Huh~ Heh~”

Corlette returns to Rosari humming her song.

Her ears, which were trembling just a moment ago, move happily like a dog wagging its tail to say welcome, relieved that its owner has arrived.

‘Looking at how they don’t beat the fierce elves, their camaraderie is strong.’

It is only after Rosalia checks that Allen’s rope, to which her hands are tied, is tightly tied, that she looks at Corette and talks.

“Colette. Just train for the next 10 years.”
“Uh, you know…? Uh!? My, what did I do wrong?”
“The gatekeeper of the forest was attacked by a human, but it’s natural. You should be grateful for not being disqualified.”
“Ha, but…!”
“I told you. If you don’t have skills, you can’t protect us. Anyway, as of now, a child like you…!”

Losing the freedom of her hands and becoming a slave to the elves, Allen fights between two beautiful elves. No, Rosalia, who is one-sidedly yelling and nagging, pinches her colette’s cheek.

Corette, who had been humming her song pleasantly just a moment before, was crying a little and her ears drooped.

“Mi-I’m sorry… Rosaria.”

Rosaria, who touched her forehead, glared at Allen, sighing that her land would die.

“I intend to hear everything about this situation, so if you lie, take care of yourself, human.”
“All right.”
“That’s not the voice and attitude a captured person would have.”
“Well, did you do anything wrong?”
“There is nothing wrong with entering the forest where we live. Humans are always like that.”
“What is it all of a sudden? What are you wearing?”

Perhaps Allen, who showed her confident attitude, did not like her, so she put a large leather pouch on her Allen and put Rosalia over her face.

“The place where the elves live is a top secret. Let’s go, Colette. Bring him along.”
“Ah, uh, yes…! Come quickly too!”
“It makes it difficult to breathe. I can’t take it off… Hey? Hey?”

Colette ignores Allen’s words that it is difficult to breathe and drags her along.

Arlen, who didn’t like being dragged along so roughly, thought about blowing up the insurance she had already put in place, but she held it in.

If you use it in a place like this, the reward is not good.

‘Whoa… Be patient, be patient. You shouldn’t raise your blood pressure while your head is broken… Whoa… Be patient…’
