## Chapter 908 – Otherworld Dungeon

“I have won!!!”

I went back to where my wives were waiting and shouted. They were inspecting the monster corpses I had hunted and brought back yesterday. They dusted themselves off and came to me.

“Katt, what happened?”
“Those bastards wouldn’t come to their senses, so I beat them up!!!”
“Oh? Really?”
“Yeah! As I was beating them, they begged for forgiveness.”

As expected, when words don’t work, violence is the only option. If I hadn’t gotten an apology, I would have demanded endless apologies from the elves.

“Strength is the best, after all. Right? If they try to look down on you, should you just let them? A man should beat them up first.”

Liz-noona clenched her fist and said.

“Exactly!!!”

As expected of a noona who uses her fists, she knows very well.

“The elves’ ideology of looking down on humans is wrong! I hope Katt-nim will enlighten them all on this occasion!!!”
“I will!!!”
“Hooray!!”

Immediately, Hilde and I held hands and danced around in circles. These clueless elf bastards…! If they maintain that attitude, a war will surely break out someday!!

We can’t coexist with beings who don’t respect us!!!

Only respect and courtesy can make this world peaceful!!!

“Seeing the Darkie act like that, I don’t think it’ll go well…”
“I think so too.”

Aria nodded at Winia’s words.

“No! That’s not true! I just proved it with my fists…!”
“Yeah, yeah. Darkie, you did great. You’re the coolest in the world.”
“Uwooooooooot!!!”

The excitement of the battle hadn’t worn off yet.

“Hoo-hoo-hoo, anyway, Katt. You did well. So, will we receive a formal apology next time?”
“They said they’d call soon. Just wait until then.”

Only after receiving a proper apology will the elves be able to explore the palace in earnest. We can’t cooperate with lingering grudges.

“But I didn’t think you’d actually beat them up… Well, if it’s resolved well, that’s all that matters. But let’s not go into the Elven Forest again.”

Karin said, putting her hand on my head.

“Heh-heh-heh, of course.”

There’s no way I’d go to a place like that.

“…I hope nothing bad happens.”

Risha looked quite worried.

“I wonder if the proud elves will readily bow their heads… They have a twisted pride, so they won’t try to admit their mistakes.”
“Oh, an elf expert, as expected.”

Karin whistled as Risha spoke.

“But Noona has similar thoughts.”
“I wonder if they’ll apologize willingly… I don’t know.”

There were quite a few witnesses to this incident, so there will definitely be a place for that apology.

If there is such a place, they will definitely talk about it.

But will they really apologize in that place?

“It’s okay.”

If they don’t, so what.

“Then I’ll just beat them up again.”

That’s all I have to do.

“The elves of the Elven Forest must know!!!”

I have to change the ideology of these racist bastards!!! They might become imperialists later, even if they aren’t now!!!

They’re already Belgian dreamers!!!!!

If they live with contempt for humans, they will surely bear the fruit of Leopold II! If not, they’ll be Nazi dreamers! In other words, they’re no different from the Hitler Youth right now!!!

ㅡHitler Jugend!!!

Saplings brainwashed by fascism and loyal to the Nazi Party!!! They were unfortunate boy scouts who grew up with the wrong ideas and became complete morons!! Maybe the elves will become like that too!

No, they will!!

“I’ll let them know what it means to look down on humans!!!”
“Katt-nim, hooray!!!”

Anyway, we have to do today’s work today.

“I don’t think things have ever worked out well when Darkie acts like that…”
“No… I think things have worked out well. No matter what the process, Father has the ability to do so.”
“That’s true too.”

Then let’s go punish the monsters of the other world again today.

* * *

The stage for reconciliation was set the very next day.

In the morning, I washed up by the lake and was strolling out when an elf in combat gear approached me and said.

“Human who serves the gods. Our commander has created a place for harmony as he promised you. The ceremony will take place at noon today, so…”

He told me with a rather polite attitude, telling me the location. Well, they must have tried to send someone decent.

Anyway, the location wasn’t exactly a secret place. It seems they want to meet roughly in the middle of the Royal Knights’ barracks and the elves’ barracks.

The elves’ barracks weren’t built that far away either, so it was practically the same as doing it in the palace courtyard.

“I understand. I’ll be there on time.”
“I will tell him, human who serves the gods.”

He left right away.

Noon today… I won’t be able to enter the palace today. It seems the combat mages found the way to the second floor yesterday, but the timing is bad. I went straight to the carriage and waited, and the women who had finished their morning wash gathered and returned.

“Let’s rest today. I just heard they’re going to apologize at noon.”
“Hmph… I see. They didn’t say to come alone, did they?”

Claudie nodded and asked.

“It’s a public place. Everyone can come.”

Then let’s go there at noon.

* * *

“What is it.”

Before noon, I headed to the location, and the elves were already lined up on the other side. Of course, they weren’t the only ones there. There were also Royal Knights who said they would step down, as well as the Royal Army and other spectators.

They’re not exploring the palace and they all came here?

“The Paladin is here!”
“Ooh! The Paladin!!”
“The Dancing Paladin!!”

But as I got closer, the spectators started cheering for me.

Is there a reason to cheer this much?

I grabbed someone and asked, and he replied.

“I saw the Paladin give those arrogant and rude elves a refreshing blow!! And to top it off, he’s getting an apology! This is the arrogant elves’ noses being broken! It’s a touching event!!”
“Ah.”

When I beat up that Glühnaff, who was the seed of this conflict, all sorts of spectators gathered, and they all witnessed the elves, who had been acting like assholes, getting screwed over in real time.

There was no way people wouldn’t be angry at the elves saying that humans are uncivilized, so they felt relieved that the apology was being made and came to watch.

Humans are easily swayed when there’s something to rally around.

“I’ll support you!”
“You’re the best!!”
“Paladin-nim, hooray!!!”

I advanced while being welcomed like that.

As I went, the Royal Knights started giving me envious looks, and I soon met the General at the end.

He came.

“General-nim. I heard you were stepping down yesterday…”
“That’s right. I’m just here to watch… The knights are full of praise for the Paladin. It was an unavoidable measure.”

It seems he just came to watch.

“I’m causing trouble again. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’m just thinking that what was bound to happen happened.”

Anyway, I passed him and headed towards the center, and soon the elf commander approached.

The elf with the crazy brother as her adjutant.

“You’ve come.”

She with long blonde hair greeted me first.

“Did Glühnaff and the adjutant come well?”
“Of course. I gave them a good scolding yesterday… There won’t be anything that will make you feel unpleasant.”

Well, if they act up again, they’ll get beaten up, so they’ll have to be educated.

She educated them all day.

Well, that’s enough.

If I receive an official apology, I’ll be done with it.

“I’m a little worried, but I’ll look forward to it.”
“There won’t be anything to worry about. No matter how stupid they are, I educated them all day yesterday…”
“That’s a relief.”
“It’ll start soon. Please come up on the stage when the event starts.”
“I understand.”

I took a seat and waited for the event to start. It’s just that the elves and humans are divided and gathered in a circle. Not long after, the event started, and the elf commander who went up on the stage opened her mouth.

“We have prepared this place to resolve the grudges and harmonize with each other regarding the recent unfortunate incident.”

Her short greeting followed, and since it wasn’t a long greeting, she soon got to the point. The elf commander pointed to Glühnaff, and he came forward.

“…”

An elf with long blonde hair.
One of the three who came at first.

If it was just an unpleasant attitude, I could have just let it go, but he insulted Claudie.

“Glühnaff. Do you admit that you acted rudely, provoked the human Paladin, and caused a violent incident?”

As the elf commander looked down at Glühnaff and said.

“…I admit it.”

He admitted his guilt with a barely audible voice, bowing 90 degrees.

Well, if he’s doing this in a public place like this.

I can accept the apology.

“A warrior never accepts rudeness. If you don’t think about that and make insulting remarks to the other person, a fight will inevitably break out. Do you admit that you acted without thinking about that?”
“…I was short-sighted. I admit it.”
“Then apologize to the person involved.”

As soon as those words were spoken, Glühnaff looked at me and bowed his head in apology.

“I apologize to the human Paladin. I apologize for acting rudely. I also apologize for mocking you.”

I nodded.

“I accept your apology, Glühnaff.”
“Thank you.”

ㅡOooooooooh!!
ㅡUooooooooh!!
ㅡWaaaaaaaah!!

The people watching started cheering at the sight.

The arrogant elves are bowing their heads and apologizing to our Dancing Paladin, so they can’t help but feel good. I’m a kind of idol, after all.

“…”

I shook hands with Glühnaff once, and he immediately bowed his head and went into their group.

All that’s left is the adjutant.

“Next, Avalaus.”

The elf commander called out the adjutant.

“…”

He walked out with a gloomy face.
I checked his face for a moment, but he wasn’t looking at me at all.

“Avalaus. It’s the same as Glühnaff. Do you admit that you tried to insult and look down on the human Paladin without considering the situation?”
“…”
“Avalaus?”

He was silent.

It must be hard to answer.
There’s no way a bastard like that would easily admit his guilt.

I just stood there with my arms crossed, looking at the adjutant who was bowing his head right in front of me.

Whatever happens, this will only end when this bastard apologizes.

“Avalaus. Apologize to the human Paladin.”
“…Keuk!”

Is he going to apologize now?
But the words that came out were different from what I expected.

“I, I can’t!!!”
“What?”
“Why do I have to apologize when I’ve suffered such humiliation? I should be the one receiving the apology!!! How can there be anything more unfair than this!!!”

ㅡKuaaaaaaaaah!!!

The adjutant, who had poured out his resentment, roared loudly, and the spectators began to stir.

This bastard… he hasn’t reflected at all.

I grabbed his shoulder.

“Avalaus. You have to apologize because you caused this situation in the first place. You insulted and looked down on me first without thinking about Glühnaff’s case. That’s why I acted that way.”
“That’s right!!!”

The bastard shouted, pushing my hand away.

“Who was it that spewed out such barbaric insults and used violence!!! You insulted my parents endlessly!! That’s something that can only be atoned for with death!!”
“Who was it that ran their mouth first!!! Who started it first, you fucking idiot!! You can do it, but I can’t? This bastard still hasn’t come to his senses!!!”
“The one who hasn’t come to his senses is you humans!!! You barbaric and uncivilized bastard! I will never succumb to base violence!!!”

ㅡPaaat!

The adjutant, who had gone down from the stage, shouted while looking at the lined-up elf army.

“Elves!! Why should we bow our heads to these uncivilized humans! It’s those humans who should bow their heads! Isn’t that right!! Remember your pride as elves!!”

This crazy bastard.

You’re dead.

“That, that elf bastard!!”
“Shut up, trash!!!”
“That elf is talking too much!!”
“Paladin-nim! Punish him!”
“Rude bastards!!”

The excited people started cursing and drawing their weapons. That was the same for the Royal Army and the Royal Knights. Of course, the other spectators were also excited with red faces.

They were truly angry at the elves’ rudeness.

ㅡGoooo…!

But the momentum of the lined-up elf army was also unusual. Could it be that these bastards are agreeing with what that adjutant bastard is saying?

I immediately turned my head.

“Ah… Ah… Brother, please…”

The elf commander was just covering her face and bowing her head.

That, that crazy bitch.

ㅡCheok!

And.

“Human! I don’t care what god you serve!!!”

The adjutant, who had become emboldened, pointed at me and burst with confidence.

“You will have to pay the price for rudeness and barbarism!!!”
“Shut up, you fucking bastard!!!”

ㅡKwaang!!

I immediately kicked off the ground and flew towards him, kicking him in the torso.

ㅡBbeoeoeoeoeoeoeok!!!

“Gwehek!!!”

The adjutant, whose body was bent at a right angle, flew away like a shot put and collided with the elves. ㅡKuoong! The impact caused the front line of the lined-up elves to collapse like bowling pins.

“That, that crazy human bastard!!!”
“Uncivilized and barbaric humans!!!”
“There’s no need to endure any longer! Subdue them!!”

ㅡPaaat!!

And.

The excited elves went berserk and started charging all at once.

“The elves are doing that after they were the ones who did wrong in the first place!!!”
“I’ve never liked them, those gigolo-looking bastards!!”
“There’s a limit to looking down on humans!!!”
“How dare they to the Paladin!!”
“Wipe them all out!!!”
“You’re dead, you fucking bastards!!”

At the same time, the people above me also kicked off the ground all at once, excited. ㅡDudududududu!!! The prairie ground began to rumble with it, and a loud battle cry erupted.

ㅡUooooooooh!!!

They are doing this for me!!!

They’re trying to fight with the elves!!!!!

Then!!!

“I’ll be at the forefront!!!! Verde, God!!!”

ㅡKkieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!

I also shouted and charged straight towards the elves’ front line!!

“Waaaaaaaah!!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
“Kkyyaaaaaaaaaaak!!”

ㅡClash.

It was truly an epic clash.

At the border, the elf army and the human allied forces began to fight in a chaotic battle.
