Chapter 81 – Rest (3)
========================
Kalen and the elves, who were sent to Maherit along with Yushin’s party, were protected by Ilaina, the head of the priesthood.
Finally, I came to the land of the elves after escaping from the hellish unexplored land. At that fact, Kalen and the elves couldn’t hide their tears of joy.
Even when you open your eyes.
Even when you close your eyes.
Since they had to live in fear of death, not knowing when they would be eaten by ferocious monsters, the joy and relief of returning to the country of the elves was immeasurable.
“Oh oh!”
“The spirit magic that was lost a long time ago!”
The Elves of the Elf Country couldn’t help but marvel when they saw Kalen serving both the Earth Spirit and the Wind Spirit at the same time.
After the Great War,
It’s the first time I’ve seen the spirit.
Kalen wasn’t the only one who knew how to use elemental magic. She knew how to handle her spirits, although the elves who lived in the village with her were inexperienced. Those who knew how to use spirit magic were talents that the elves did not want to miss.
“Would you like a job? I have a good job My job is to teach children.”
“I will accept it, priest.”
As Kalen held Ilayna’s outstretched hand, she accepted the priest’s offer.
I am accustomed to teaching children.
This is because he has raised and taught the children of the village so far.
There was no reason to reject the offer, as he was embarrassed to fall for Maherit, who had no connections. It was also a decision to repay Elaina’s kindness for providing a place for all the villagers who arrived in Maherit.
“On Kalenda. I saw your name in the diary of the first priest. A Dark Elf who made contracts with many high-ranking spirits at the same time. The first priest recorded in his diary that he was a hero who saved many of his own people with his outstanding abilities in war.”
“… I am just a dropout who fled before the end of the Great War, fearing death. There is no reason for the priest to bow his head and pay respects, and there is no reason to be called a hero. Hierarch, please raise your head.”
“I never dreamed that my people would fall behind in the unexplored regions. It is definitely our fault for not being able to save you guys.”
“Okay, it’s okay… !”
Seeing Ilayna’s polite appearance, Kalen was at a loss.
She herself fled the war.
I ran away from the battlefield where my compatriots were fighting for their lives.
So, she thought that the arduous days in the unexplored area were no different from the karma given to her. A punishment given to a coward who escaped the death of his compatriots. So, like a man carrying a cross, Kalen endured silently and reached what he is now. Seeing Ilayna and the elves welcoming her like that, Kalen felt great confusion.
“I want to hold a welcome ceremony. But our country of elves is at war. So everyone is sensitive. You never know when Sabnak will attack this Maherit.”
Ileina rose from her seat.
She trudged and headed for her window.
The city of Maherit, seen through the window, was truly miserable.
Thousands of monsters fell from the sky. Buildings collapsed one after another, and many people were injured. Covered with the flesh and blood of monsters, Maherit was in such a bad state that she had to seriously consider relocating the capital.
‘The collapsed buildings can be rebuilt later. The problem is Savnak.’
Savnak.
A demon called the Demon King of Heat Wave.
Ilayna recalled the figure of Savnak, who by now would be gnashing her teeth as her vengeance flared up.
The time has come to put an end to the long war between the Liberia elves and the Demon King’s army. Who falls and who survives? A war of species that had been going on for hundreds of years was about to come to an end.

Allen Roxfield had an affection close to her obsession with Yushin, her own teacher and her crush.
With the feeling of love,
Her murderous intent was to kill all who would stand in the way of her love.
Love and murder, the two emotions that were postponing the narrowly parallel lines, burned Allen’s heart. Because of that, she occasionally embarrassed or scolded Yushin, but Allen gave her sunflower-like affection.
“Brother.”
Allen clung to Yushin’s side.
The elongated ears were unusual.
Because she was looking at her brother with very dangerous eyes.
She glared hard and blocked the elves from intervening. The elves, startled by Allen’s ferocious gaze, did not dare to approach and had to back away. But as if she couldn’t completely let go of her lingering feelings, she was glancing at Yushin as she secretly poked her head out.
‘I remembered her face. Just try to catch it later. I’m going to throw out a lot of muk bowls.’
Golden eyes, reminiscent of birds of prey, glared at the elves.
If you cross the line, you will surely be killed.
When she was in the kingdom of Valois, in fact, Allen had a record of striking down a noble lady with her fist, who had revealed her dark heart to Yushin.
In the end, she was severely scolded by Yushin, but Allen did not think that she was doing anything wrong. If the elves are aiming for the Restoration like that noble lady…. Just like she did back then, she only punishes the bugs she twists.
“Yushin.”
Ardena has arrived.
At her appearance, Allen’s beautiful face was blatantly crumpled.
Among the long ears, this is the year I don’t like the most. The biggest enemy of her brother. He was the source of her life separation from her brother, and he was also the culprit who kidnapped her brother to the country of elves and made her a slave. It was only natural that Allen hated and hated Ardena.
“Why don’t conifers go out?”
“Softwood… ?”
“Three hundred years old. Among the trees, it is similar to the long-lived conifers. So conifers. I think my body will smell like dirt too.”
Allen laughed.
Ardena’s face wrinkled.
She was a cool-headed Ardena who did not change her mind in response to any insult, but reacted sensitively to her poisonous ‘age’.
“Humans only live a hundred years, but we elves live a thousand years. I hope you don’t see humans and elves on the same line. Although I am 320 years old, from your human point of view, I am only in my 30s, no, in my late 20s.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? If you are 320 years old, you will be 320 years old, where will you be in your 30s… Are you even talking about the 20s? Honestly, don’t you think it’s shameless to say it? Stop talking nonsense and admit that you are a 320-year-old old virgin.”
“This rude bitch….”
Sharp anticipation began to flow from Ardena’s green eyes.
Allen did the same.
Golden eyes with dangerous intent to kill were glaring at Ardena.
“What do you say?”
Yushin interceded.
I had to break a cold sweat from the sharp nervous battle between the two women who fight every time they meet.
They say they are more like women who are scarier than the demon king.
The war of nerves between the two heroines, who were spewing murderous intent as if they were about to pull out the hilt, seemed like it would melt down my spine. I wanted to run away right away, but I didn’t know what kind of disaster would happen if I left the two unattended, so I decided to stop it by force.
“Ugh. Hey, you don’t even budge….”
Yushin pressed Allen’s head first to apologize to Ardena for arguing.
But he didn’t budge.
Allen, who had her back straight, just glared at her ardena with her menacing eyes.
Ardena was also glaring at Allen with her sharp eyes. She dared to disrespect and humiliate her in front of her crush, an atrocity she will never forgive. She would not forgive her if she would only stay as his sister, but if she were to seek a seat next to him, she would confront him head-on.
“Now is not the time for this.”
Yushin opened his mouth as he got in between Allen and Ardena.
“We have to fight Savnak in the next three days. Are you going to show a lousy side when you don’t have enough time to think about it?”
Ardena was the first to back down at those words.
I lost my cool for a moment.
Trying to show your sincerity to a human girl who is only stubborn and stubborn like a child.
That woman is nothing but her beast, acting on her own feelings. She didn’t even have to fight a war of nerves against the beast. If she just ignores her, she’s done. After all, Yushin only sees that girl as her younger sister, not as a member of the opposite sex.
“Looks like I lost my cool for a while. Allen Roxfield, please forgive my rudeness.”
“I have no intention of forgiving you.”
Ardena had to frown again at Allen’s blunt answer.
It’s a human girl that I don’t like until the end.
However, in the war against the demon lord, Allen Roxfield was a valuable force, so she could not treat her carelessly. Ardenna tried to avoid friction with Allen as she took a step back.
“You kill your temper. How long will you live as a child?”
Yushin vigorously stirred Allen’s blue hair.
Her head was messed up because of it.
Allen groaned at her, calming her bouncy head.
“It doesn’t matter. Her brother would be by her side. You are my fiancé.”
“It was swindled by your father. I signed it without knowing anything, but I didn’t know it was an engagement agreement. This is the first time I have ever seen an engagement agreement in my life. Is it like a physical surrender letter?”
Yushin’s betrothal to Allen was due to the Roxfield family’s intrigue.
Instead of having the Loxfield family repay the debt she owed to her in the Kingdom of Valois, she makes Yushin Gilead the fiancé of Allen Loxfield. The engagement relationship was established after the members of the Roxfield family, led by Allen’s father, Troy Roxfield, played a trick.
“But that was the situation when I was in the kingdom of Valois. This is the Liberia Elf Country. Engagements made in the kingdom are null and void. Therefore, the betrothal relationship cannot be established.”
Ardena said.
At that, Allen narrowed her eyes.
“Elongated ears. I want to see the end with you someday. Don’t think it will end as hazy as last time.”
“That is what I will do. If you harm the elves and their people again, I will never stand by.”
Allen and Ardena warned each other, putting an end to the war of nerves.
“Kuk!”
Yushin placed a hand on his chest.
I suddenly had a stomach ache.
Indigestion. Discomfort in the stomach area. Stomach pain. Abdominal bloating. Symptoms of stress gastritis were evident.
When I vomited, it seemed that gastric juices would reflux and come out.
