Chapter 226 – 226. Gotta Go Save Your Family
As if it was difficult to notice, she tried to overcome it with an awkward smile.
“Can’t you just quietly move on?”
“It’s not possible. Never”
“You have nothing to do with me, do you? You don’t have to worry about it.”
“I don’t like it. Do you think it will go smoothly if you say it that way? I absolutely hate it.”
If I heard those things, I wouldn’t need any quests or anything.
I just want to save the woman in front of me right now.
“Because I’m such a happy ending junkie”
“Haha, what is it? That is”
“I also put conditions on my side.”
“…”
“Instead of protecting Everoo or Nates, you’re going too.”
“It is not a problem that can be solved by choosing me. The elves who live in the bamboo forest become high elves who receive the protection of the forest by the choice of the bamboo forest, while all the dark elves who live in the land receive the protection. While the earth demands equality, the bamboo forest supports only one existence to protect. That is the high elf with the surname Lacia.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“That means I have a responsibility.”
“Therefore. What about that?”
“…So you’re doing that on purpose.”
“Yes”
“As expected, the human race is greedy.”
“Yes, I am greedy”
That’s right, she is in front of her right now..
“Even if you threw everything away, what would you do if you could be with Everuna?”
“It’s not possible. Something that has been planned for a long time. I, who annihilated the Dark Elves, am with my master… I don’t even conscientiously think it’s okay. I feel very guilty.”
“You know very well that I didn’t ask for your conscience. You’re asking what you want.”
“That…”
“Because I am an idiot, please tell me with your own mouth. Don’t talk back”
Without saying a word, she rubbed the teacup with her hands and smiled vaguely. Perhaps it was difficult for her to make eye contact with me, she just silently shut her mouth.
“Miss Grace. You’ve been living for others for about 1700 years.”
“Stop…”
“Even now you live the life you want..”
-Bang!!!
“Stop!!”
“Mr. Grace..”
“Whoa… I’m a high elf. It’s different from people like you. Don’t come closer to human common sense.”
Realizing that any conversation beyond this would be poisonous to her, she lowered her table, spit on it, got up from her seat, and left.
“I’m gone…”
– Kwy!
“I know. If you keep going like this, you’ll be in a situation where you wake up and Kobei, right?”
– Kyakkyu!
“Shall we start? From now on, this is our first request!”
– Kwy~!!
I finally realized that she is the main character of this main quest.
—-
“Whoa-“
She stood alone at the door of her room, which she served as her master, took a light deep breath, and turned her doorknob with a bright smile.
“Master? It’s not time to wake up now, it’s time to wake up long ago! Ew~!”
Today, as usual, my master is a late sleeper.
Please live a bright and healthy life in the future.
“Grace..?”
“Yes? What are you doing?”
“You.. Are you crying?”
“Yes? What is that…”
Realizing belatedly that something was dripping down my cheek, I touched her cheek with her hand, and a lukewarm tear flowed down.
That’s right me…
“Grace!? Who, who! Who rang our Grace!! Did the guests who came here bother you? Stay still, I’ll scold you!”
I still don’t want to break up
I tried to hide it as much as I could because the things I had hidden until now were revealed, but for some reason, I couldn’t stop crying when I thought it was the last time.
Seeing the owner worrying about me, whether he knew it or not, I felt a surge of emotion.
“Who is this! Who rang!”
“Ahaha~ The reclusive owner seems to be worried.”
“I made my family cry, but someone stays still!!”
It’s the first time I’ve been angry like this since I was young except for things that weren’t a big deal.
Whether it’s the side dish complaint, or when I stopped him from running out to play hide and seek naked after taking a bath…
When I saw the owner who had become an adult before I knew it, I remembered the past and tears flowed down without a trace.
Family.. I… Have become the family of the being in front of me right now.
“Hueng~~ I’m so thrilled that the owner came out of bed~~”
“Don’t cry over that! You were surprised!”
As an adult, I started worrying like this. Now, even if I don’t exist, there won’t be any major problems in living in the future.
I’m really grateful that I can now send it worry-free.
Thank you so much and thank you again…
“Grace? Are you laughing now? Strange”
“Ahaha~~✩ Master, Master”
“Why?”
“You more than anyone else”
I love you a lot hah…
“Uh…? Grace…?”
Ah…
“Grace? Uh… Where are you? Grace!! Don’t play around with me!”
In the end, I didn’t get the last word right and left…
“Grace!!!!!!”
—-
I hurriedly moved to the sound of a woman’s screaming cry.
“Ahhh~~!!!! Grace!! Please don’t leave me..!!!”
Seeing Ever Luna crying endlessly while hugging her maid’s uniform under her bed, I understood the meaning of her words at once.
Conditions with the land. That it had something to do with her death, I was sure from our conversation just now.
But suddenly disappearing is against the rules…!
“Hey, master.”
“Aaaaa~~!!! Grace!!! I’ll apologize for everything I’ve done wrong so far, so please don’t go!!!”
“Everuna!!”
“Heeep..! You…What are you..!”
When this happens, everything goes according to her plan.
Do you think I would do that?
“Let’s go”
“Uh…Where…”
“Where!”
Losing her family right in front of her eyes, I know the feeling because I’ve experienced it.
“I have to go save your family!!”
Therefore. I’ll bite down on my molars and save you.
—-
-When the child becomes an adult, your existence will be erased from the face of the earth so that he can live on his own. You tasted too much blood
“Yes”
-Did you… Understand what I’m saying?
“Yes, when this child becomes an adult and she can become independent, my role is over.”
-I can’t do anything with my memories, but my body will disappear from the earth. Because your body has at least 1000 years of magical power. It’s very helpful for me too
“Yes”
-Isn’t it scary?
“A body that has already prepared for death. I don’t think there’s any more honor if it’s used for this last child. Lord Earth”
-Is that so?
“…? What is that…”
-Well? You’ll know when you see it.
“Like the words of the earth, I have already taken many lives. Now, what if I refuse to die?”
– So that’s what you’re saying. I’ll see you then
“Yes”
.

-How is it?
-Ahaha… I can’t see anything. I can’t even say anything more than that.
-It will be unfamiliar to you who have a body
-I see… It’s a pity. The owner liked that voice.
– So how is it?
-That’s too bad. No, time seems to have passed too quickly. In the blink of an eye… Just… Sorry.
– Look. Am I right?
-Yes! Ahaha… Really… It’s a pity that I can’t see, touch, or hear anymore… It’s scary.
– But I won’t look at you anymore. Because that’s the condition.
– Yes, I know.
-Your magic power from now on. It will absorb 1700 years of mana. Even if you can’t, time will pass as much as you’ve lived. Raytheon’s power, which took part of your power, has also returned to you.
-Yes
-Isn’t it scary?
-Ahahaha… It’s a pity that I won’t be able to see my master until then… As long as I’ve lived… I’ve already started a family, become a grandmother, and see my grandchildren happily…Happily…
I can’t do this… I can’t say it…
-I wanted to be by your side…! I love you because it’s good even once… I wanted to call you family… But I didn’t have the courage to do that… Why… Do I regret it now…
Could he have let me… Stay with the master?
—-
“Lucy!”
“Yes, Master! Lucy is here~~!”
Lucy’s job is finding places.
You can’t detect living things, but you can detect everything if it’s inanimate.
Including the invisible.
“Can I ask for a job?”
“Yes! You’re finally helping the master!”
“You have always been helpful”
“Ehehe~ I like it so much”
Moreover, it is specialized for moving, so it will be quite helpful for this task.
If you look at the moment you enter the room by teleportation in mid-air.
“Hey, hey, hey! You’ve become so pretty while I haven’t seen you!”
“Ehehehehe~~ Ah! Master, I have to work!”
“Oh right. Everuna”
“The beast race…?”
“First, wipe away your tears and let’s talk”
“Yes!”
She looked up at me while wiping her tears while hugging Grace’s maid outfit.
Although her eyes were red, her eyes seemed to support everything that there was hope.
“Really, can I meet Grace..?”
“I will do what I can. So you help too”
“Huh! Because Grace is my only family. I’ll help too!”
