Chapter 369 – Who?

Early morning when the sun slowly rises. I was in the middle of changing my clothes and cleaning up the traces of yesterday.

“Master. I just want to live as a slave to my master for the rest of my life.”

“Huh? You didn’t mean to let go anyway?”

“Whew…”

Carla sweeping her heart as if she was genuinely relieved.

It must have been impressive in many ways to free Elisha and Iris from slavery.

It seems that the parties really don’t care.

“Master, please get out of the way now!”

“Uh huh. Disciple Should I persecute my master like this?”

“… What are the words of the person who sold me to Yandel yesterday?”

“Oh, that couldn’t be helped! And there is only a difference in order, didn’t I end up in the same situation!”

A full-length mirror that can only reflect one person. In front of him, Elisha and Iris were arguing with each other, checking their clean nape.

Haha Unlike Carla, the two hated being enslaved. … No, is it natural to dislike it? This is a strange thing for Carla.

Didn’t he get a cooperative attitude in the first place on the condition of humane treatment and release from slavery someday?

Of course, we care enough to risk our lives right now… At the time, it was close to a transaction that guaranteed the future by receiving the body and ability.

Could it be a kind of arranged marriage?

However, such an arranged marriage is also a marriage, and the two of them tried to love me, and I was the same.

And now. There is no contract or binding between us. We are together like this with pure love for each other.

“Is it an oath that will not fade even after a thousand years?”

I don’t know who started it, but I think it’s the most appropriate word to express the love of elves.

… Or for those who love elves.

I moved towards the two who were still struggling to push each other away. Then he put a hand on his shoulder and smiled.

“What are you fighting for? There is a way to check more clearly.”

“You? What else are you trying to do?”

“Today, Misogun is even more suspicious, Master. What are you up to?”

“It’s too… Don’t you trust me that much?”

Elisha and Iris looked this way with their backs to the mirror. The two crossed their arms side by side and tilted their heads awkwardly.

“Believe? I am? You? You who did that yesterday?”

“I knew very well that the owner was a man without conscience, but I didn’t expect it to be this much…”

“…”

No, where did all the good feelings from the time warp go?

He continued with a laugh at the attitude of the two who changed drastically in just one day.

“Is it a really good way? Can’t you just listen and judge?”

“Joy! I’ll listen to you when you say that.”

“It is as Elisha said. I’m just listening to it, so remember that point, Master!”

Elisha and Iris, who cling tightly to each other as if they hadn’t known each other when, and were wary of this side. He shrugged his shoulders at the two priests.

“Simple. Shouldn’t I just give the command and see if it works or not?”

“Ah… Certainly it is.”

“It’s a way to realize it more clearly than the stigma of the disappearing scruff of the neck.”

Elisha and Iris nodded with a softened attitude when they heard that they seemed to be okay. I can’t believe it’s so good.

As I grumbled, the two of them quietly raised their mouths and urged me while gently stroking my forearms and sides.

“You? I’m sorry about that. Sounds like a really good method, so let’s try it.”

“O master. It was a joke a little while ago. It’s a kind of expression of affection, so don’t do it too much and give me orders.”

She felt the touch for a moment, then nodded her head pretending not to win.

“Let’s see. What would be good…”

Thinking about it for a while. Looking at the eyes full of anticipation, the words I wanted to say naturally flowed out as if I was possessed by something.

“… It’s an order, Elisha, Iris. Love me Until one day death do us part.”

“…”

“…”

Elisha and Iris silently stare at each other with their eyes wide open.

It sucks. Did it go too far But for once, not the Elven way, but the human way… More precisely, it was what I wanted to say in the earth way.

In the silence that fell for a moment, Elisha slowly opened her mouth.

“This… Kinda like that How is Master?”

“Ugh. Neither do I.”

He scratched the back of his head shyly at the subtle reaction of the two.

“Oh, is this a bit like that?”

“Yes. That would be too… Only then can we confirm the compulsory nature of the order, right?”

“That’s right. Isn’t the owner already our companion?”

Elisha and Iris shook their heads as if they couldn’t help it and smiled softly.

“I love you. Even if we are not your slaves.”

“This is an oath that endures even after death has separated us in a thousand years.”

A gentle happiness appeared on the faces of the two who said that.

Maybe I am too.

***

“Yes? Did you say you were leaving already?”

“That’s right! I was thinking of even holding a festival for the heroes…”

Headed to the office as soon as the preparations were finished. Milone and Nariel, who were openly clinging to each other, asked in amazement, as if they had no intention of hiding it now.

“Yes. My body has fully recovered and I have a lot of work to do. Isn’t Alfheim the only one who is invaded by evil spirits?”

“… Duke Lindelheit seems to sincerely intend to destroy all evil gods.”

“Because now is the weakest. Above all, you can’t just die or be corrupted, right?”

He shrugged his shoulders and asked playfully, but all he got back was a look of awe.

It’s a little burdensome… Still, they are the heads of state in their own way.

After clearing my throat for no reason, I changed the subject.

“Hmmmm. By the way, you haven’t forgotten the things you promised the other day, right? The dungeon pass and the sister of Elisha and Iris… I mean, I’m going to reveal my name.”

“Of course. Regarding the Spirit Stone Dungeon, I have already prepared the documents, so you can show it to the person in charge. But the other two… Could you please wait a moment?”

“You seem to be leaking information already in the past few days. What else do you need?”

“Yes. An official announcement is needed so that it doesn’t end up as mere rumors. Of course, we can do it ourselves, but…”

“You mean it’s more efficient for the person concerned to show their face once?”

“You’re right. But it won’t take very long. As I said a while ago, the preparations are almost complete, so all we have to do is make a seat. In addition, refugees are flocking to Alfheim, and countless elves are helping rebuild Yggdrasil on the streets.”

“No way… ?”

When asked just in case, Milone nodded confidently.

“It is unfortunate that you are leaving so early, but how dare we stop you. If you haven’t seen the Lord of life that circulates yet, why don’t you visit once? In the meantime, I will finish all preparations.”

“… Of course, I intend to go after seeing the Lord of Life that circulates and saying hello, but the sanctuary is time-distorted, so it only takes a few minutes?”

Nariel, who had been playing with Milone’s hair, shook her head with a bitter smile and answered instead.

“Not anymore. Maybe you used too much power this time…”

“Oh.”

But. Later, I heard from Carla and Elisha that just before I got out of the time warp, my strength was exhausted and it was difficult to move even the roots of the world tree, let alone the barrier.

“Although he has some divine power left, he decided to use it to help rebuild Yggdrasil instead of protecting the sanctuary, saying that the circulating life will be safe for a while. Like that.”

Nariel turns around and shows the scenery through the window. Thanks to the high location of the office, the roots of the World Tree sweeping away the remains of the wall were clearly visible from afar.

“Aha? Then I’ll go take it easy. May I ask for directions, Her Highness?”

“Sure. … Milone? I will bring the heroes to the circulating Life Lord and come back.”

“I understand, Her Highness the Queen.”

“No way. Don’t make such a sad face. It’s not like you don’t have time anymore, do you?”

Nariel smirks and pats Milone on the side. In my eyes, he just looked like his usual expressionless expression.

I had a lot of questions about this and that, but I decided not to ask. In fact, I already know.

It must have been a little more honest with each other in the face of a life-threatening crisis.

Milone gave a faint smile, as if she couldn’t win against Nariel, who behaved recklessly.

“All right. Then I will be preparing here, so please go slowly.”

“Great! Shall we go then, heroes?”

Nariel stood up with a bright smile and left her office at the forefront.

After looking at each other for a while, my companions and I also smiled and followed suit.

The upper part of the World Tree arrived in that way. Is it because of the memories in the distortion of the remaining time in my unconscious that it feels like my home now that I am not used to it?

I opened the door with a willing smile at the rising inner intimacy.

And just like that, he hardened his lips. It had to be.

“Are you here? It looks like you’re thinking of leaving now.”

“I, the circulating life?”

Life circulates to greet us warmly at the table in front of the warm stove. Looking at the picture hanging above her head, he asked cautiously.

“What the hell is that?”

“What is it? Your statue to be erected this time… It is a picture that becomes the original of .”

Are you going to build a statue that looks like this?

… Really?
