Chapter 320 – The Ugly People

“Let us flee.”

“””””Our homeland forsaken, what madness is this!?”””””

“…… Hah~…”

Even as Tre’ainar and I were talking, the elves were discussing what to do, but the chieftain’s suggestion to “run away” was unanimously rejected.

“It’s just land, we can relocate.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? This is where we were born and where we shall be laid to rest. To allow it be defiled by those filthy, inferior races is unthinkable! Rather than abandoning this place, death would be preferable! That is the pride of the Elves!”

“Foolishness…hah~…protecting the land… territorial disputes… in the end, humans, demons, and elves…people are all the same…”

The chieftain, who was completely rejected by his wife, sighed and shrugged his shoulders as if somewhat dismayed.

And the elves, who were upset because they didn’t know what to do, now seemed to be united by the wife’s remarks and raised their hands in the air while their faces were tense.

“Yes, we must defend this land!”

“Show them the pride of the Elves!”

“The Gods bless us!”

“Right, flee… I would rather die!”

Voices rose one after another. Maybe it’s a voice unique to this war-torn world, but I can’t quite understand it, and I can’t agree with it.

But, it would be weird for me to deny that idea, so I can’t say anything.

Just……

“Dear, seek cooperation from the monsters of the forest!”

“Even if I ask… these fire dragons are the mightiest we have, right? Even if we rely on other carnivorous beasts, when facing Ogres…”

“Nonetheless! We must bolster our forces however we can!”

It seems like the chieftain thinks it’s weird too. He looked at his wife and the other elves with great pity.

“That’s right, the Dark Elf from before… that one is part of the Demon King Army, right? Can’t we use her as a hostage to intimidate the Ogres?”

“Ah. Moreover, she might possess information about the Ogres. Very well, fetch her immediately and extract every bit of knowledge she holds!”

“Agreed, swiftly now!”

In the midst of all this, there are even radical opinions in the fight.

“As I said, cease this… hostages, torture… pride? It really makes me laugh… in the current state, everyone is turning grotesquely foolish.”

“Chieftain! At a time like this, we needn’t be troubled by your usual contrarian views! While the innovations and perspectives you propose may bring about new developments and realizations for us, now is the time for unity!”

“You people are the ones in need of awareness. So hard-headed and narrow-minded… playing around with words like ‘life’ and ‘pride’…”

Apparently, only the chieftain seemed to have a different way of thinking than the other elves in this, and he didn’t seem to agree with the idea of fighting no matter what.

But, despite his position as the chieftain, he seemed unable to convince the other elves of his opinion.

『Well… what will you do? Child!』

Now, what should I do here?

Ever since I arrived in this era, I’ve tried not to interfere too much in the war of this era or in the battles with the Demon King Army… I should have been able to, but I kept failing at it… in any case, what to do now?

More than anything, I’m reluctant to fight the Ogres, but… it’s not a situation where you can just say that.

「It doesn’t matter, it has nothing to do with us, so just leave the elves alone and run away… I can’t do that.」

I don’t feel like it, and I don’t want to fight the Demon King Army as much as possible.

But, there was no need to think about this situation.

『The elves here aside… should anything happen to the Chieftain. In a decade or so, when a certain Great Demon King becomes a ghost … will he not grieve over such loss of culture?』

「…… huh… I see…」

Those novels made me realize that the Great Demon King has many different sides to his existence… in a way, it’s something that I have a lot of attachment to.

Above all, I got along well with the chieftain and his wife, they fed me, and took care of my younger sister and brother as well.

“Hey hey, Big brother… the Demon King Army… they’re annoying. But…… Mrs. Yitea and the others are in danger…”

“Either way … I’ll follow Brother.”

These two don’t seem to have a problem.

There’s no other choice since it’s come to this.

“Fiiine! Maybe we will help too.”

“Un.”

“If Brother says so…”

『That being the case, the Ogres may prove more formidable foes than anticipated…』

Yes, I can only think that if this happens, no matter what the elves think, what the chieftain thinks, and what the ogres that are coming do, it will all work out somehow.

And then……

“Chieftain, I’ve brought the dark elf woman!”

The young elves brought the restrained dark elf, surrounding her with weapons.

“Ah…hey, Big brother.”

“Brother, that person…”

Espie and Slayer seemed to have realized, too.

No doubt.

It’s her.

“Hmm… I was wondering what’s been going on since this morning… I thought it would be an immediate execution… but it looks like something funny has happened.”

The dark elf was bound by rope with both hands shackled, but had a fearless smile on her face.

If I remember correctly… Larou’iph…… was it? She was a subordinate of Norja and was known as the Ebony so-and-so.

“Silence, lowly dark elf! Speak not, and answer our questions!”

“Tell us about the ogres who have come to this mountain! What are their weaknesses?”

“Disclose all that you know!”

Just like the chieftain said, the beautiful-looking elves turned ugly and hurled harsh words.

But Larou’iph was completely unfazed by the situation. On the contrary, she snorted at the elves.

“Well, I don’t know which unit it is. In the first place, I didn’t even know that the Ogre squad had come to this mountain. Even though it’s the same Demon King Army, I don’t know that much about the movements of other armies…” 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝑏𝓃𝑜𝑣𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

“What do you mean? Didn’t they come to your aid?”

“Pfft… as if they’d do such a kind-hearted thing. I don’t know. But I’ll tell you this. The Ogres being here means you are dealing with a rabid and brutal force under General Hakuki, the strongest and most fearsome General in the Demon King Army! You and your kind will not stand a chance! It’ll be a massacre…… women and children will mercilessly be raped and tortured, giving pains worse than death. You get it…… they’re devilish beasts with no shred of kindness or mercy! …… that’s right…… unlike that person…”

This wasn’t a threat, but a fact that Larou’iph spoke out loud.

“…… it looks like a blue demon with one horn…”

“Blue…? Hahahahaha, Aonii… I see … even I know him very well… you are no match for him.”

At these words, the elves who had been up in arms just a few minutes ago also turned pale again.

On the other hand, for a brief moment, I felt that the Larou’iph showed a somewhat sad, heartrending expression, which bothered me a little.

But, that expression quickly changed, and Larou’iph again spoke in a strong tone …

“You naive elves! If you want to survive, you should bow to the humans to bring out the Seven Heroes! Well, I don’t think you can do that!”

And at the same time as the words …

“Ahem!”

“””””Eehh!!??”””” fre(e)webnov(l).com

My younger sister stepped forward, hands on her hips, and a smug look on her face.

“…… Hohe?”

And that Larou’iph also stiffened with an idiotic look on her face.

“…… Huh…? …… E, Espie of the Seven Heroes? Why are you here!?”

“””””…… huh? Seven Heroes!?”””””

“Well, we’ve been through a lot ourselves.”

“Y, you too!? The Genius Hunter… Slayer!?”

“””””Eehh!!??””””

Yes, Larou’iph didn’t even realize we were here, or rather it was completely unexpected.

The elves seemed to know only the title of the Seven Heroes, and froze with their mouths agape.

“Huh? Espie and Slayer … eh?”

“Huh… to hold such titles…”

Both the chieftain and his wife were surprised.

And…..

“What do you think? If we were here, the naive elves would be able to do something about it, right?”

“Y, you… eh!”

Finally, I also appeared in front of Larou’iph.

Then she looked at me and said…

“B, bastard… you are the one who shoved that big, thick, outrageous thing up Lady Norja’s buttock!!”

“”””Eehh!?”””””

“No, it’s true, buuuut, it happened, buuuuut.”

How unreasonable.

At Larou’iph’s remark, the other elves pulled their expression all at once, and distanced themselves from me.

“If I recall correctly…. Norja is among the Six Supremacy of the Demon King Army… I need to familiarize myself with the details, but I believe she was referred to as the Damsel Commander? Huh? Meaning a little girl…and her buttocks? Big and thick……Huh? Young man?”

“Chieftain, don’t take that at face value! No, don’t be fooled by the title! She’s a ridiculously huge monster… Besides, what I shoved in was a spiral! A spiral! Like a drill! And in a sense, it was an accident … I mean, people, don’t look at me like that!”

The eyes of everyone looked like they beheld an ugly beast.
