Chapter 143 – Episode 143
The gate opened, and my girls could suddenly see the status screen.
As a result, the first round colleagues who acquired the characteristics and skills have regained all their strength when fighting the Demon King.
Good so far very good.
By the way, the place where Lilith said the gate had opened was, of course, far to the south.
“Damn it, even if it’s open, it’s there…”
And that place was the Great Forest in the south, where the world tree and the elves were holding their ground.
“Maronet! Where is the Maronet!”
“Kyaaak!? What, what!?”
Hurrying back to the factory in Dakota, I ran into the studio and found Maronet.
“Maronet! South Great Forest! Send me to the Elven Village!”
“Huh? Huh? What’s going on? It’s not a place where you can just let go…”
“It’s an emergency! Beings from another dimension may be invading there!”
“…What!?”
Rising from her seat, she hastily packs her own staff.
“Is that true!? What the hell is an existence from another dimension!?”
“I don’t know! That’s why I’m going to check it now! So send it quickly!”
“I-I’m going too! My family is there too!”
“It’s comfortable to go with an elf! Come on! Come on!”
“Yes, yes! Got it!”
She spewed out mana and in an instant completed a complicated magic circle, wrapping me and my party members in a circle.
Immediately after, the body moved with a strange feeling of floating.
***
There is a world tree in the Great Forest to the south.
The gigantic tree, which shows off its tremendous presence even from a distance, is so large and majestic that you may wonder if it has really reached the wall of the world when viewed up close.
However, now was not the time to care about such things.
It was because I got tired of the previous car, but it was because the identity of the guys who came through the gate came first.
However.
“Ah! So this person is a hero!? You can let me in!”
“We can’t bring any other race into our village without permission, whether it’s a warrior or not!”
“Hey! How old are you! What are you talking about!? Do you want to die!?”
Right now, we were in a confrontation with the elven guards blocking our way for tens of minutes.
There was nothing particularly worthy of being called a citadel, but laughter erupted at the murderous appearance of the elves tightly packed into the dense trees.
It was fortunate though.
The fact that they were able to wrestle like this was proof that they were peaceful.
“Hmm, Lilith. I don’t think the forces of hell have come over?”
-That’s right. If that was the case, the elven forest would have been a sea of fire long ago.
I nodded my head at Lilith’s answer that came into my head.
“Are you sure the gate is open?”
-That’s for sure. If my senses aren’t broken, the godhead has definitely reacted.
“That’s right… Maronet. Come out for a second.”
“Rom? What are you going to do?”
“Let’s talk for a minute. Hey! Captain of the Elven Guard!”
“…Don’t call me carelessly! A lowly human subject!”
“Okay! Are you sure the gate is open? I wish I could show you what came out of it! Then you don’t even have to enter the Elven Village!”
“The gate didn’t open! Don’t be fooled and go back! Human!”
“…It’s still coming out like this.”
I looked up at the elf guard captain’s handsome appearance, which seemed to contain the egregiously exclusive tendencies of the elves, and thought for a while. Eventually, I made up my mind and scratched my head.
“Hey. Elf. I’m going into the Elf Village from now on.”
“Do you think we’ll leave it alone!”
“If you attack me? Then I’ll treat the attacker as an enemy and kill him. I definitely warned you? Is it all your fault?”
Fuhuaaaaagh!
“What, what…!?”
“What…! Such a scale of blood!”
“I was not a hero, but a vampire!”
Ah, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard the misconception of being a vampire.
“Okay, so let’s go? Did I say that?”
“Wait! Wait!”
As I take a step forward, the white-faced guard hurriedly extends his hand.
“What are you going to do? Choose quickly.”
“…If you come out that way, we have no choice but to fight.”
“Then grant us our request. Count to three. One, two…”
Fish!
At that time, an arrow flew from somewhere and aimed precisely at the forehead.
Maybe it’s because she’s an elf, but she’s only good at archery.
Crisp!
I shattered the arrow with a simple fist turn and jumped in front of the arrow shooter.
“…Uh?”
The pretty-looking elf woman belatedly raised her eyes with a bewildered expression as if she couldn’t even see me.
“You did it first.”
Sugagak!
“…Ah?”
The elf woman, who had been shocked for a moment, turned dumbfounded once again.
It deserves it.
It was because her blood flowed in the form of her slash cut off the other elves around her who were standing tightly on top of the trees.
“…Muh, what!? What the hell!”
Fish!
The arrows, which were quickly marked, came crashing into me again.
Crisp!
“Are you attacking again?”
Each ska!
This time, it swept a wider area and wiped out all the elves on other trees.
“Ugh…!”
“Attack again? Try it.”
As she smiled and exhaled blood, she stood tall and stopped, aiming an arrow in a posture as if she would shoot at any moment.
“Why, why! It’s me who attacked! Why are you targeting the people around me!”
“Huh? Of course, to make you regret it, right?”
“What…?”
“It’s easy to kill you, but that’s why it’s not ‘revenge’. True revenge is when the target has to regret and despair over guilt… So I just made you realize what consequences your careless actions brought. .”
“And, how many of my own people are there…!”
“No no, what are you talking about? It takes a few elves’ lives to correct the old-fashioned behavior of the elves. It’s very cheap. You guys wouldn’t understand it without this level of shock in the first place. It’s all your fault. Are you sick?”
“What, what…!?”
As she was smiling at the elf girl, who had been exposed to a terrible malice she had never felt in her life, as she turned white, she heard Elia’s pitiful voice from below.
“Rom. Don’t bother the poor elf, let’s go in quickly.”
“Huh? Oh, yes.”
“Now, wait! Where are you going like this! I will never let you go! I will kill you! Revenge…Yes! I will take revenge too!”
“For what?”
“What, what!? That’s what killed your people of course…”
“Then you won’t have to take revenge. You didn’t kill anyone.”
“…Uh?”
Once more dumbfounded, she hurriedly looked around to see her fallen elves picking themselves up one after another.
“From next time, be prepared to take responsibility and act accordingly.
Retrieving all of her blood that had been sprinkled like her blood, I poked her voluptuous breasts and jumped down her tree.
“Rom. The captain of the guard blew everything. The fact that the gate opened in the elven village a few days ago. They say it’s closed now?”
“Hmm, yeah? So? Something came out of that gate?”
“I heard a human came out?”
“…Human?”
“Yeah. They told me to report to the top first and hand over the captive humans, so go back as is.”
“…Lilith. Can you tell that the gate is closed?”
– Opening and closing are a little different, so it’s difficult. However, if what they said was true and humans really came out, it seems that it wasn’t a gate connected to hell.
“Then where did you open it?”
-I don’t know about that either.
“Umm…I just want to see it cool inside. Anyway, the elves don’t bend even if they show their strength.”
“…Has no face.”
Maronet nodded at her, bent her back, and shook her head with a chuckle.
“Why are you apologizing?
“Haa… To be honest, that’s the reason I left this place and lived among humans. It was so frustrating that I felt like I was about to explode if I continued to live.”
“Oh, I did…”
After all, Maronet was quite an outlier even by her elf standards.
By the way, once the primary purpose was to check the gate, there is no reason to go inside if it is already closed and cannot be checked.
While I’m here, I want to take care of Selena, the elf archer who was a colleague from the first episode, and take her mother…
“Now, wait! What are you trying to do with us!?”
“Let go of this! Damn it!”
At that time, two human women appeared with a shrill voice.
“…Uh?”
This time I was dumbfounded.
First of all, because it was Selena who brought the two human women.
Like the main heroine of the first episode, she was a very pretty and keuty female with flowing green hair.
The distinctive haughty and arrogant expression he wore like a mask was also the same.
However, the main reason I was dumbfounded was not Selena, but the two human women she brought along.
“Hee-hee, senpai. Aren’t we going to die like this?”
“Calm down. Even if I went into the tiger’s den, I would have lived as long as I came to my senses! Damn it! If it weren’t for these strange handcuffs…!”
Korean.
The girls, who spoke Korean in modern outfits familiar to me, were Korean no matter how I looked at them.
…Even though she possessed the beauty of the top 1%, which was rare among them.
“Huh? Senpai. It doesn’t look like you’re trying to kill us, right?”
“I see. I think they’re taking them to those humans…”
“Wow. Senpai. That guy…It’s not that he’s super handsome…But he has a strange charm. Should I say he’s flirtatious or he’s the best…”
“Shut up. It’s crazy.”
As I listened to their conversation in a familiar tone, something surged up inside me.
“Huh? Huh? Senpai! That person is crying all of a sudden!”
“Are you crazy? Get your head straight! You don’t know what to do all of a sudden!”
As the distance drew closer, the two women quietly kept their mouths shut.
“Nice to meet you. Rome. It’s been a while. I brought these lowly girls because they wanted them. Hehe… But, were you so happy to meet me? I think I’ve never seen you cry…”
“Senior. What is this elf called?”
“Shut up and think of a way to escape rather than that.
It seems that other people cannot understand what they are saying.
Except for me who knows Korean.
“Sueup, whoa, whoa…!”
Let’s calm down. Okay. Calm down for now
“Rom?”
“Why? Rom.”
“Oh, it’s okay. It’s nothing.”
I waved my hand at the women who were worried about me and looked at them again. The eyes of the two Koreans were wide open.
“…Ah.”
Come to think of it, I don’t really speak the language of this world.
If you say it in Korean through the power of an unknown goddess, it will only be translated on its own.
In other words, they just understood my Korean.
“Uh, uh… Are you a returnee?”
“…Returner?”
I tilted my head at the cautious words of the woman called ‘senpai’.
“Rom. Are you talking to these people?”
She glanced sideways at Selena, who raised her chin high-handedly, then pondered how to organize the situation.
“Huh…Wait a minute. Let’s talk.”
“Yes? Ah, yes…”
“All right…”
She waved her hand at the Koreans to keep them quiet, then she looked at Selena.
“Selena. Can we enter the Elf Village?”
“Huh? Hmm… It’s not difficult if you use my authority. But, Rom. Only you can do it. Other women can’t.”
“Oh yeah?”
She sighed and scratched the back of her head at the sight of her annoying monopoly.
“Haa…Selena. Then bring your mother because she has something to do.”
“…My mother?”
He nodded her head at her who tilted her head.
Very bluntly.
“Act quickly or you’ll be gone.”
“…”
After staring at me for a while, she clicked her tongue as if she couldn’t help it.
She’s annoying How long is she going to pretend to be arrogant?
“Tsk, I’m not the type to go out of town easily… If you’re doing that, there must be a reason. I’ll try something. Wait a bit.”
“Oh, by the way, you know it’s not an elf-style time, right?”
“…I know it well.”
When Selena quickly disappeared, I looked at the two Koreans.
“…Hello.”
“Oh, yes. Hello.”
Just exchanging familiar greetings made me cry and something rose up inside me, but I managed to suppress it.
“Hello! Wow! I really live! I never thought I’d meet a ‘returner’ in a place like this! Please save us! We came in to attack the S-class gate, and suddenly the double gate exploded, everyone else was wiped out and only us I survived!”
“…”
What is this all about?
“Wait, wait. I’ll check first…Are you from the Republic of Korea on Earth?”
“Yes. That’s right. My name is Ahn Jin-kyung. It looks like you’re a naturalized citizen…”
“Oh, wait. I’m already busy, so don’t saturate me with information. I’m the only one asking questions.”
“…Please.”
“First of all… What is an S-class gate?”
“Um… Do you know about the ‘Cataclysm’ event? Gates appeared all over the world and killed a lot of people.”
“…”
Is this really the earth I know?
“Perhaps it was the work of the goddess.”
“Release.”
Boom, she appeared and looked at the two women with her clear eyes.
“Wow!? Senpai! The devil! The devil has appeared!”
“Don’t make a fuss every day. Please.”
“Hmm…Are these women from the dimension you lived in?”
“…Maybe. I can’t be sure. But what about the goddess’s work anyway?”
At my question, Lilith smiled coquettishly as if it were natural.
“Isn’t it obvious. Hadley said? Among the goddess’ plans to invade another dimension, Rom, there is also something to reduce the power of your dimension.”
“…Ah, sure. Hadley said he didn’t even know how to do that.”
“That’s right. Apparently the gate is the means. Well, it’s a simple but sure way.”
“…”
So, a monster apocalypse broke out where I lived, right?
Dog goddess.
