Chapter 145 – Elves

I had no intention of struggling to get information.
It is not that we want confidential information to the extent that we have to sell our feet.
The money is spent on this.
If you can easily get information, you should get it.
Since it is not an electronic civilization, it was regrettable that the utilization of Sunni was reduced at this time.
I went to the information shop that the wizard, the owner of the magic shop, taught me and got information.
The information merchant was proudly opening a shop on the main road and doing business, not in a gloomy place.
Thanks to that, I easily got the information I wanted to know.
It wasn’t that special information, so it was natural if it was natural.
From the information merchant, I was able to learn many other things besides the labyrinth.
Having obtained enough information, I quickly returned to the inn.
And he found Ayla right away.
– Knock. Knock.
“Isla. Is there?”
When the door opened, a blond, blue-eyed, cat-like beauty revealed her face.
“What’s up.”
Seeing her blunt face, I felt a little relieved.
“Have you been in your room all day today?”
“Uh? Uh….”
“Okay? Done.”
“What? Did you just call me for something like that?”
“……I just want to see your face.”
Throw in a work comment that is not the same.
“Suddenly, what are you talking about!”
She shouted, blushing at my random work mantle.
Contrary to expectations, the effect was good.
“I saw your face, so it’s okay.”
I turned my back with a smile at Ayla’s cute appearance, unlike her damn personality.
She was looking at me with an absurd expression on her face.
The reason she found her so quickly was that she might have gotten into an accident by going out.
Information obtained from information stores.
That made her have no choice but to worry.
The forest I came out of under the guidance of the elves.
Humans call that place the Elven Forest.
And this city is a city where hunters gather to catch elves.
It is no exaggeration to say that Erfu is a city that lives on because of them.
The probability of success is not high, but if you catch it, you can aim for a fortune. And there are many powerful people who want a race worthy of the name Elf.
Erfu was a hotspot where hunters flocked to catch elves not only in this country called Barulas, but also in other countries.
So there were quite a lot of elven hunters here. No, it was no exaggeration to say that most of the armed men were elf hunters.
Knowing that, it made a little sense why Ayla would hate it when she was so human.
I didn’t think much of it when I entered the city yesterday, but after hearing about it from the information merchant, I had no choice but to return quickly.
‘If Ayla had wandered around the city while I was gone….’
Just thinking about it makes my spine chill.
I got the necessary information.
I thought I should leave this place quickly.
She said she restrained herself, but she wasn’t sure if she would stand still in the face of the elven hunters.

“I leave tomorrow.”
She called them over to dinner and said:
At my firm words, they nodded their heads without much disagreement.
“Where?”
“Slubber.”
“Also?”
“Yes, among the places named Labyrinth, that place is the closest.”
There were several places called labyrinths. However, there was only one slumber labyrinth in this country.
It was a natural choice to search from nearby places.
After receiving my plan simply, the girls went back to their respective rooms.
As night fell and it was time to sleep, I missed the woman’s skin.
‘This is why I wanted to bring Yondu….’
My eyes were already too high to go out and hug the prostitute.
Unfortunately, he secretly called Ayla using the telepathy he learned while with Yondu.
She seemed more likely than Luna.
I have a little hopeful thought that maybe even a rice cake will be accepted.
“What’s up.”
Her face was full of annoyance at me for calling in the middle of the night.
“I want to hug you.”
Without turning around, he told Ayla directly.
“Mmmm!?”
Ayla shouted in bewilderment at my outright request.
“I want to hug you.”
“Crazy! My, do you think I will allow that?”
“Can’t you?”
“Of course not!”
“Oh, sorry.”
“Po, are you giving up?”
“Yes? Would you like me not to give up?”
I blinked my eyes.
“Oh no!!”
She thought that if Ayla misunderstood her words, she might be eaten as she was. She was startled and quickly denied it.
“Huh. I, I am not such an easy girl.”
In the end, she was rejected.
To be honest, I didn’t think the odds were that high either.
Still, I shamelessly went out to see if I was going to poke a persimmon I couldn’t eat… But it also failed.
If she wasn’t going to hug even a prostitute, it seemed that she would have to work on her own for a while after all.

We got up late, had brunch, and set off.
And in the end, an accident happened.
It was the first time I regretted myself for waking up late.
Armed troops walking proudly.
They were wearing a uniform navy blue outfit.
I felt that the quality was different from the poor hunters I met in the forest before.
And an elf trapped in a cart with iron bars behind it.
It was a beautiful elf with short brown hair.
Shackles were placed on her neck, wrists, and ankles.
Countless people gathered to watch the elf inside the cage.
“Eh, it’s an elf!!”
“Huh, how long has it been since you’ve been seeing a captured elf….”
“Fuck is pretty. If only I had eaten it once….”
“Crazy. I know how much it costs.”
Seeing it, she eventually tried to jump out, as Isla had a seizure. He quickly covered her mouth and subdued her, leading her to a back alley.
It bit my hand and made a fuss, but there was no damage.
Luna calmly followed me.
But even in her eyes, there was a faint light of anger.
Ayla, who had been breathing heavily, removed her hand as it became quiet.
“What were you thinking of doing?”
“How! I have to save you!”
“Are you alone? Like Luna? Being so reckless now? I have work to do. I have no intention of becoming a fugitive. Even if you ask for it, it’s fine if you run away to the village, but what about me? You don’t even intend to let me into your village.”
“That, that’s… Kuh!”
“And do you really think you can get it here?”
Even at a cursory glance, among the escorts, there were quite a few strong men comparable to Ayla or Luna.
It is said that only at that level can they catch the elves there and come all the way here.
Besides, this is not an elven forest.
It is a human city.
With the two of them, there seemed to be no hope at all.
If I help you, you should be able to rescue them.
But that’s all.
My plan to go to the Slumber Labyrinth is bound to go wrong.
If that’s the case, there’s no choice but to sneak around or carry out mass slaughter against those who attack like madmen until the humans in this world find out.
“……”
I don’t know if she understood what I was saying or not, but Ayla seemed a little calm.
Eventually, we, who were about to leave the city, returned to the inn.
It was not an atmosphere that I could just ignore and go.
There was also a way for me to just leave alone.
However, it was obvious that if I left, they would become additional slaves.
Even knowing that situation, my heart was too tender to just leave.
…….Honestly, the fact that other guys other than me had them made me sick to my stomach, so I couldn’t just go.
We gathered in Ayla’s room.
“Are you the elf in your village?”
“No. It’s a first look. It’s like another village elf.”
Luna’s answer was that there were several villages in the elven forest.
“What do you plan to do?”
“I have to save it!!!”
“……”
There was nothing to ask for Ayla’s opinion.
I looked at Luna, but she just kept her silence. Looking at his expression, he had a worried expression.
“Fu… I’ll stay here for another day… Let me know tomorrow when you guys have sorted out your opinions.”
I got up and went back to my room.
When their thoughts were sorted out, I planned to listen to their opinions and make a decision tomorrow.
And then, out of curiosity, I quietly listened to their stories.
“……This is out of our hands.”
“Lu, Luna!”
Ayla shouted in bewilderment at Luna’s cold words.
‘I never thought I’d say no with a single knife like that….’
Luna’s words surprised me too.
“Ayla….. You know …. To save her, we had to see her decision before they left her forest… Since she’s been caught this far….”
Luna slurred her words.
“That, that….”
“Even Priscilla-sama would have opposed this rescue.”

Luna recommended giving up the captured elves.
However, Ayla could not tolerate it.
At this rate, captured elves will only become ugly sacrifices to humans.
Late night.
Ayla quietly began to fully arm herself.
A tight black suit that showed off her slender figure.
He wore a black mask on his head.
He carried an elf’s bow on his back and calmly wore a dagger everywhere.
Donning her gear, she jumped from the terrace of her guest room and landed on the roof of the building across the street.
There was already a passenger on her roof dressed similar to her.
“Lu, Luna?!”
“…..They’re finally going….”
“…Yeah…Sorry….”
After gazing at each other for a while, they took a step together.
