Chapter 59 – Promise With the Elves (2)
I have a lot to ask…
“Let’s start with my full name. My name is Elune, a high elf who serves as an elder in this village of Ar’estel.”
Elune bowed and greeted us.
“Nice to meet you. As you may have heard from Sylvia, my name is Jinu. The two people next to me here are Yuria and Rien.”
“Yuria, Lien… You two. The way you fought today was amazing. I probably won’t forget it until I die.
Elune said, smiling at us.
“You said you had a lot to ask, right? Please ask first, Elune. I will answer as best as I can. Before that, may I ask you one question first?”
“Yes, please say so.”
I took a sip of the tea in front of me and continued talking.
“You just called us heroes when you saw us. What does that mean?”
As soon as Elune saw us, she called us heroes.
We definitely defeated Void, but it’s a bit difficult to call him a hero based on that alone.
To be honest, I didn’t even think about being a hero until I heard last time that God had summoned us as heroes.
“I can tell this just by looking at the way you showed me today. You remind me of the old Dinah.”
Elune also spoke while taking a sip of tea.
“When the old Spider appeared here, we elves faced a desperate crisis.”
“Spider? Elune knows that name.”
Elune nodded at my words.
“Yes, Dinah taught us most of her knowledge to us who knew nothing about demons.”
“Then… I guess you also know that Dinah is from another world.”
I hesitated to say it because I knew Sylvia was around, but since I already mentioned the word hero, it didn’t seem to matter if she heard it.
“Huh? Another world? What do you mean, Jinu!”
“If you say that Dinah knows Demon and has power comparable to him, then I can only assume that he came from another world.”
Sylvia looked like she couldn’t believe what I was saying.
It will be difficult for him to immediately accept the fact that he has suddenly come from another world.
“What Jinu said now is the truth. Dinah, who was called the hero of the past, is from another world. The same goes for the spider that Dinah fought.”
“Elune, how much do you know about demons?”
Now, out of all the people I’ve met in this world, I’m the second person in the game world who knows about the existence of Demons.
The first is the damn Void organization.
“I don’t know everything either. Dinah suffered fatal injuries while fighting Spider and lost her life…”
“Can you tell me what you already know?”
Elune nodded and told me what he knew.
“I heard that the world Dinah was in was a world invaded by Demons. He said that in that world, he was chosen by God to protect the world from Demons.”
“God… Are you talking about it?”
Sylvia seems to be having a hard time following this conversation.
To be honest, if someone who doesn’t know it hears it, it’s an absurd statement.
“I also didn’t really hear about the god of the world Dinah was in. Dinah said she didn’t know exactly about that god either. But she said it was clear that after being chosen by that god, she gained the power to fight Demon.”
“Dina, I don’t know about the person who gave that elf strength, but the person who corresponds to that is the master.”
Lien, who was listening to Elune’s story, spoke calmly.
“Huh? Jinu is a god?”
After hearing Lien’s words, Sylvia looked at me with the biggest surprise she had ever seen.
“Yes! Jinu gave us strength through his power! He couldn’t have become as strong as he is now without Jinu!”
“Hmm… I don’t think it was necessary to say that right now, but what Yurina Lien said is right.”
Just like Sylvia, who was surprised to hear our story, Elune’s eyes also opened wide.
“Just looking at the power of the two of them to defeat the spiders and other monsters that appeared today, I could have easily expected them to be the same person as Dinah. However, it is surprising that Jinu is the god who gave them strength…”
“It’s not Shinka, but it’s true that he gave strength to Yuria and Lien.”
Yuria and Lien, who heard what I said, looked like their shoulders went up, as if they were proud of that fact.
“Then let’s continue the story. You asked me a little while ago why I called you a hero, right? It wasn’t just because I saved Arestel from a ridiculous monster like Spider.”
“By any chance… What information did you hear from the gods here?”
Elune’s eyes grew wider than before, perhaps because she was surprised when she heard what I said.
“How can you do that… Ah, by any chance, what did you hear from Gaia?”
“Gaia? Is this the name of the god here?”
Gaia…
I’ve only heard that he’s God, but this is my first time hearing his name.
“Yes, that’s right. It’s because I was the one who called Dinah here to help Gaia.”
This is another surprising fact.
“Spider’s crisis was something we could never handle with our own strength. The situation was too urgent to ask for outside help, and it didn’t seem like we could kill him even with help from an outside kingdom.”
Elune’s voice was low.
I think it probably reminded me of the urgent situation at that time.
“At that time, all we could do was pray to God for strength. And Gaia listened to our voices.”
“So Dinah came here.”
Elune nodded her head at my words.
“Yes, that’s right. Gaia gave me the power to summon warriors and I was able to use that power to bring Dinah here.”
“Oh my god… Is that what happened…?”
As for Sylvia, she is now playing a similar role as an audience member playing Nolan.
“Did Dinah accept her situation when she was summoned?”
“Fortunately, I heard that Gaia explained it to me while summoning Hero.”
Under…
Couldn’t he have been that kind to me too?
I haven’t heard anything since I came here and have been struggling for 5 years in vain.
“They called us heroes because they thought we came from the same place as Dinah.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I wondered why they suddenly called us heroes. Was that the reason?
“Thank you for your answer. So what do you want to ask us?”
“Yes, Jinu, Yuria, and Rien, are you the warriors summoned by Gaia?”
I shook my head at Elune’s words.
“To be exact, it was Gaai-sama who summoned me here, and it was I who summoned Yuria and Rien.”
“Do you mean Jinunnim?”
I began to explain what I had heard from Gaia.
“This world is still gradually heading towards destruction. Demons could break through the dimensional gate Numeron and spread throughout the world at any moment. Gaia is currently doing her best to block Numeron from breaking through. Do.”
“Uh… Destruction? Numeron? I can’t follow the story anymore…”
This was the reaction of audience member 1 Sylvia.
“So the method Gaia chose was to call me to this world and then summon heroes like Yuria and Lien through me. They said this was a way to summon powerful heroes while minimizing Gaia’s burden.”
“It’s clear that even Dinah couldn’t defeat Spider, but the two people you showed today seem to have much stronger power than Dinah.”
At Elune’s words, Yuria and Lien’s shoulders lift even higher.
“I received strength from Jinu, so of course it is! I can kill a spider by myself without any problem~!”
“I have killed not only spiders, but even more demons. It is all thanks to the power given to me by my master.”
Elune seemed to listen calmly to what the two said, but was unable to hide her surprise in each word.
“Indeed… A demon stronger than the Spider… It is terrible to imagine such a being coming over here. It would truly cause the destruction of the world. I also understand why Gaia-sama chose Jinunim.”
“Then are there other heroes besides Yuria and Rien?”
I nodded at Elune’s words.
“You may have seen Sylvia briefly. She has another one called Ellie. She is now at Brighton Castle.”
“Then can you summon additional heroes?”
After hearing Elune’s words, I shook my head.
“It’s not something that can be summoned right now. It seems like there are quite a few warriors like Dinah who were called here by Gaia. I found out that the equipment they were using contained Gaia’s power, and through that power, “I can summon a warrior here.”
“Jinunim was an important person who held the key to saving the world.”
I don’t want to be like that, though.
I want to live a normal, uneventful life.
But that doesn’t mean I regret meeting Ellie, Yuria, and Lien.
I’m just dissatisfied with Gaia, the god who brought me into this world against my will.
“Looking at the current situation, that might be the case. I think we’ll be able to summon about 5 more people in the future.”
“Five people? That’s a pretty specific number.”
I said, extending four fingers.
“The people who are called heroes that I can summon are probably people who have become stronger with my help. Like the current Yuria and Lien. There are a total of 8 such beings. So far, I have summoned a total of 3 people.”
“It’s surprising that there are as many as six people with the same power as you two. Also, the one who was able to give you that power is Jinnu… Are you still able to use that power? You can give it to Sylvia here, or something. ?”
Give my power to Sylvia?
That’s impossible.
It was before I came here that I was already charging money for my character in the game.
I shook my head.
“That’s impossible. I lost most of my power when I came here. Even now, I can only use a few of my powers.”
“Is that so… That’s a shame.”
After hearing what I said, Elune’s mood became even more depressed, perhaps because she was truly disappointed.
“Can I ask you a question? Have you ever heard of Boyd?”
I asked Elune if she had any information about the Void.
“Void… Are you talking about? This is my first time hearing that name. What is that?”
“This is the name of the organization that caused the commotion today. They also know about the Demon. Moreover, they believed that the Demon would purify the world here. The most surprising thing is that they fused their bodies with the Demon.”
Elune closed his eyes as if he was thinking deeply after hearing my words, but then shook his head.
“This is my first time hearing about an organization called Boyd. I’m sorry for not being able to give you good information.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”
It seems to be an evil organization that operates quietly in the back of the world.
Although it feels like an obvious setting.
“Then I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Yes, please tell me. I will do whatever I can to help.”
Good.
“As I just told you, I have the ability to summon a warrior. I would like you to help me find the materials needed to do so.”
