Chapter 107 – Episode 107. Opposite Treatment
Conceit. Arrogance…
A human with such words and distance as Verdia would probably not exist on the side of the Human Union.
She always looked back on her own shortcomings and continued her efforts, and her efforts were still maintained even after becoming one of the top 10.
There are times when he exalts himself as a strong teenager, but that is only in a public setting.
The public needs an idol, and he just locks in his attitude because he has no choice but to assume that responsibility.
However, to say that he is incompetent, who has worked hard to maintain such a position.
Wouldn’t that be a denial of the efforts he had made so far?
“What, incompetence, am I?”
When she asked if she had heard something wrong, Yumir opened her eyes and started staring at her.
“Then isn’t it? Up until now, the party had left us to take care of it, while he went about his other business. Honestly, have you done anything to the party since our party started to work in earnest?”
“… There was no direct contribution. I haven’t done anything either.”
“Yes, the King must have had a hard time wiping his butt. But why do you suddenly stop wiping our handsome warrior’s ass?”
“That, isn’t that and this a different matter? In the first place, Dave is a man…”
“So you know how to go to a poop diaper?”
“Keugh!”
Verdia ends up speechless at Ymir’s words.
She certainly did keep herself busy for several months, but it was only by carrying out the king’s orders and not directly contributing to the party.
No matter how brave he was, he thought he needed to develop a sense of self-reliance for the future.
That’s why she ran the party alone without her help, and she hoped that Celica would grow with the experiences that came from that.
‘Yes, if I had been more careful… Maybe Celica didn’t end up like this because she fell into Garbonya’s trap.’
Could it be that she was not the one who neglected to let Garbonya do her thing, feeling impatience at the time? Could it be that Celica ended up like this because she didn’t expect such a thing?
‘Am I really incompetent?’
Even hearing that thought, Verdia lowered her head in despair.
Seeing that, Ymir said.
“Okay, obstruction removal complete.”
“Ugh!”
Realizing belatedly that she had been fooled by her logic, Verdia let out her groan and hurriedly shouted:
“You’re an intruder. Stop talking nonsense!”
“Sheesh, I wish I had just had a mental breakdown like that.”
“Ymir, you… !”
“Okay, Dave. You don’t mind that lady and do your own thing.”
Fu-wook!
Verdia was swayed by the shock as if a dagger flying from far away had pierced her chest.
If it’s a remark aimed at her age, she’d passed it off without much thought a few days ago when she had a conversation with the king, but why are the words she’s saying at this moment so hard to pass?
“Is that okay?”
“Then should I leave him like that? Rather, don’t you know it’s more miserable to leave it like this without even being able to cover up the poo and pee?”
“Aww, aww!”
Celica cries again while lying on the bed.
It was so miserable that it was hard to see even if he had to open his eyes, but even so, Dave couldn’t stretch out his hand right away like he had been doing before.
“No, that…”
It is natural.
Aren’t the 10 strongest players on the continent right behind you?
It wouldn’t be strange if the moment he touched his hand even a little, he would run right in and cut himself. When he didn’t know what to do, Ymir hurriedly shouted, clutching his rough hair.
“Hey, why is this boy so scared? Do you think it makes sense for a girl who has never seen her naked before to hesitate with this? It’s okay, do it quickly because the smell of shit comes up!”
“Oh, you saw me naked!?”
“No!! Mr. Ymir, please be quiet!! Mr. Verdia is confused right now!”
“What do you know about a woman who has passed marriage!”
Dave panics and Verdia loses her composure. And Ymir as usual.
In the midst of the chaos unfolding with smells and cries spreading through them, another group of people who were watching the scene quietly raised their hands.
“Excuse me…”
All of them are silent and focus their attention accordingly.
A green-haired girl sitting there, she soon faced them and carefully voiced her own opinion.
“Diapers, I can go too…”
“…”
***
Cack, cack.
The cries of crows resound in the time of sunset.
After putting the real Celica to sleep in her bedroom, Verdia and the other three of the party had time to drink tea in the kitchen.
To hear about what happened while she wasn’t confident, and to consult about her future plans.
“Did you say Heira?”
After hearing about the circumstances, the first thing Verdia paid attention to was Heira.
Heira, holding the teacup, nodded her head and answered Verdia.
“… Huh. It’s hey Call me at ease.”
“Yes, hey. According to the letter I received before I came here, I heard that you are an elf…”
Eyes that open wide.
In response, Heira stiffened her body and turned her uneasy gaze to Yumir, who was sitting across from her.
Like asking for your opinion on how to answer yourself.
“Well, I agreed and wrote it down, and since we’ve already been attacked, there won’t be any secrets between us.”
Ymir snapped and snapped his fingers as he sat crookedly.
Along with that, in response to her will, the magical power emitted by the artifact Heira was wearing was instantly canceled.
An object that hides your identity as an elf.
As soon as the function was paralyzed, the pointy ears unique to elves were revealed, and Verdia focused her attention on them and began resting her chin on them.
“…You really were an elf.”
“To be just an ordinary elf? I’ve been checking it out together, but I’m sure you’re good at it. On the contrary, I can shoot better than that elf who is still missing.”
The details would have to be compared, but at least to Yumir, Heira’s archery skills were considered to be one of the few among the elves.
Unlike most elves, who spend most of their time meditating to adapt to a long lifespan and serving their pack society, she has lived in the mountains her whole life and raised persimmons in the wild.
She’d been practicing archery in real combat for a period of time beyond a human’s lifetime, but wouldn’t it be more strange that her skills were mediocre?
“I’ll have to check that out, but… I wouldn’t have told you that Melia was missing, right?”
“I don’t know if there are many secrets for public sentiment, but the people involved should know. When did you go to the great forest and there is no news so far, shouldn’t we prepare our hearts soon?”
“… Okay. Yes.”
His attitude is sharp, but there was nothing wrong with his words.
The elf, who originally decided to participate in the warrior party, has now been treated as completely missing.
Since there was no other news from the Daesurim side, there were even rumors that he had died at the extreme or that he had become a plaything for the Demon King’s army.
I just didn’t say that if the news was widely publicized, there would be people who wouldn’t trust the warrior party.
“Hey.”
But now that the situation is like this, I can’t just stay still. She soon uttered her decision, which had been in her mind since Verdia had read her letter.
“If Ymir’s words are true, you can be said to be the mainstay of this party on the rough journey ahead. Even more so, since he is an elf, he can be said to be the best person to solve one of the problems facing this party right now, the lack of personnel.”
I couldn’t blow away the opportunity to gain support from so many different races.
An elf who joined the warrior’s party did not simply mean having outstanding skills.
In addition to the ability to transcend humans that comes from lifespan, it is revealed that the unity of mankind includes not only humans, but also heterogeneous species friendly to humans.
I couldn’t blow away the opportunity to gain support from so many different races.
It hasn’t been decided yet, but if it’s in your own eyes, the king, Archen, will also trust you, so there shouldn’t be any problem even if you make a decision here and report it.
“Please, use your strength for the hero and humanity… Can you go further and do it for all those suffering from the Demon King’s army?”
A firm but polite voice.
From the way she bowed her head with him, Heira could sense that she was someone she could humble herself with.
That this request you are asking yourself is not for self-interest, but for what you can truly call a great cause.
“… Yes, I will.”
At that attitude, Heira, who lifted her first-time wariness, said with a light attitude.
“Because I also want to be with this party in the future. If you need a country like this, I will lend you all my strength.”
Is it because it is an elf who lives forever?
Contrary to her youthful appearance, her kindness and age seemed to be felt in the way she faced herself.
In fact, I’ve lived more than three times my life, so it shouldn’t be a strange attitude.
“Did this solve the absence of elves? It’s good, you’ll get better~ It’s because you don’t have to argue with the old people of Daesurim for nothing.”
It would be nice if this young sage resembled even half of it, but she decided not to point out that part because she knew that nothing would be good if she dared to argue bitterly.
“It has not been fully decided yet. Since you’ve been accepted, you’ll have to go through a test to see if what you said is true, report it to the royal castle, and go through the necessary procedures.”
“Then, as long as you pass the test, there is virtually no problem going around right now.”
Ymir smiled as if he felt satisfied with Verdia’s answer.
Although it was not a planned number, at least the problem of Heira joining the party right away could be said to have been resolved.
“Then what will Dave do?”
Yeah, it’s Dave, not Heira, that you have to worry about.
It was after hearing that question that Verdia’s eyes turned to Dave.
“… Dave.”
Verdia is always serious, but her attitude now carries considerable weight.
Yes, she was also grateful for Dave in many ways, and she also had a lot of personal concerns.
“You must have heard of it already, right? What kind of person is Celica, and why are people known for her name, such as Nana and Yumir, supporting her?”
However, there is a clear distinction between public and private law.
Unlike Heira, who meets the conditions to join the party, Dave’s role in this party is just a porter and chore.
He is a position that anyone can do, and there are many applicants.
“I was guessing from the start. That Celica is not an ordinary person.”
“I heard that she once mixed her body with Celica.”
“… Yes. It is true.”
Dave, speaking frankly without denial.
Seeing that he couldn’t meet his eyes, he felt responsible for what he said now and seemed worried about the answer that would come later.
About the fact that the hero’s chastity was taken away by a porter.
If the news is known to the public, it will most likely cause a stir among her supporters.
“You and Celica have special feelings for each other… I will not say anything about him.”
But Verdia finally decided not to pay her attention to that part.
It was only for a moment that the confusion was felt. If she thinks calmly, at least, because she thinks deeply of Celica, she has no reason to be angry with Dave.
“Selica should be the idol of everyone, but before that, she was just one person. It would be absurd to ask her not to pursue humanity just because she is a warrior, when most of those who go to the battlefield have families to protect and lovers to form.”
Rather, if she, who should represent her humanity, lacks her humanity, then her symbolism as her savior will shine.
So rather, Celica’s relationship with her Dave, whom she brought with her own hands, might be something that should be welcomed rather from the standpoint of those who want her to grow as a hero.
If only the ‘human’ aspect is taken into account.
“But what follows is a dangerous journey. In the yard where even the officers of the Demon King’s Army have been raiding, Celica will feel guilty if you get caught up in the raid.”
What would happen to Celica’s mind if that really happened again, and Dave got caught up in the process?
With that in mind, no one would be able to overlook her current words.
“Dave, I’m sorry about you, but…”
Even in a respectful tone, it was the exact opposite of what he had done to Heira.
“Will you please prepare me to leave this party?”
In fact, a request worthy of being called banishment.
