"What are you going to do next?"

Sluka's attitude was calm, but his gaze looked a little intimidating. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Of course, it's back to the Dawn Mountains, we still have a lot of things to do, but we don't have the time to fight you for turf."

Elle was afraid of another minute and a second, and now we didn't have any hole cards to bargain with Gagantu, so it was better for us to leave quickly before he changed his mind.

"I mean the dragon, what are you going to do next?"

Oh......

It turned out that Gagantu's eyes had become ugly because he had the idea of fighting the dragon.

"I don't count this, you should be clear, it's best to ask my brother about this matter"

Although what the little guy said was also true, she was just thinking about getting rid of the pot now.

"That's it"

Gagantu seems to have grasped the little one's intentions and appears to be no longer interested in us.

"So what are you going to do?"

I asked a question ignorantly, which made Ellie dissatisfied.

"We?"

Gagantu had already turned away, but now he turned back to look at me.

"The cavemen lost a lot in this battle, and although we will soon be able to recover from this blow, it will take more or less time"

Gagantu raised his hand and touched the gray stone in the shape of a crown above his head.

"I'm also going to need time to fully master this holy relic"

"And until then"

The giant lizard straightened up, making him look even taller and more terrifying.

The caveman bared his teeth, as if to show his might.

"Until then, I'm going to reclaim the land that was usurped by the Satie chiefs"

Gagantu's two paws made a gurgling sound, as if he could no longer suppress the agitation in his heart.

"If, as you say, Siga has been killed by Mespil, then the current Satie chieftains will be vulnerable"

"And under the deterrence of the troglodyte army, the Satie chieftains do not dare to leave their land easily to find trouble with you"

"You can rest assured that the flanks of Mespil will be so quiet that you won't hear any footsteps."

Flank?

It seems that this lizardman has more information than we do, and he even knows how Mespil's army is deployed.

"So"

The caveman nodded to Ellie and me, as if to affirm our cooperation.

It's not even close to being an ally, but at least we've freed ourselves from hostile relations.

"Hehe, let's go, don't send it~"

Ellie shook her little hand, and the lizard with its huge teeth was finally disappearing from view, much to the joy of the little one.

"Whew"

The figure of Gagantu disappeared into the forest, and Ellie's waist softened and she crawled on my head to rest.

"Maybe he's still peeking at us?"

"Go, go, little ghost, clean nonsense, he hates us, if we hate him, how can we continue to peek"

The little one stuck out his tongue, as if the mere thought of that scene disgusted her.

"Woohoo......"

There was a strong sense of exhaustion coming from the soul link, and Elle was really tired, and if she accidentally fell to the ground now, she would definitely fall asleep on the leafy woodland.

"Is this the human body......?

The little guy, who has always been soaked in huge magic, never thought that weight would be such a tiring thing.

"Hmph, worship me, I've been fighting against monsters called Weight for 16 years"

"Woooooooo

When the little one listened to my boasting, stars appeared in both of his eyes, and he marveled at how I, the little boy, could accomplish such a deed.

"Oh, that's not right!"

It seems that because of the lack of magic, the little guy's head turns much slower.

Realizing that I had been fooled, Ellie grabbed my head with both hands and shook it wildly.

"Spare your life, God Elle spare your life, you weigh dozens of pounds now, I can't stand it!"

"Imp!"

The voice of the princess's anger burrowed into the forest like the roar of a beast, and from a distance came the sound of small animals being frightened into hiding.

Goo――

Oh, and the princess's other beast is also starting to howl.

"Little ghost, you are annoying, your belly is a beast, can you use this kind of word to describe a girl in your human world!?"

"No, no, we'll just use that word to describe the belly of the arrogant princess"

Strike.

Elle slammed into my head like a puddle of soft mud and ignored me completely.

"The beast is dying of hunger......"

Oh, I actually gave up complaining, it seems that Elle really has nothing to do with the mortal body.

"Shall we go to Mespil first, or go straight back to the Dawn Mountains, or ...... Is there anything in this forest that can satisfy your hunger?"

“...... Chocolate...... Cake"

Ellie raised her hand like a dying sloth, trying to catch some kind of hallucination she saw.

"Cake...... It's really worthy of a princess, and she still insists on high demands at such a difficult time."

The little one was still slumped on my shoulder, not responding at all.

"Wild mountain fruit barbecue, how's it going?"

"Huh!?"

As if she had been electrocuted, Elle immediately straightened up.

"Hmph! That's it, hurry!"

"Okay......"

So I made a 'shhh' gesture for the princess, and floated up with a levitation charm.

Although the magic obtained from the guardian elves is not much, this little spell is still handy.

Following what I just heard, there are small animals escaping in the direction, and you should soon be able to find something to eat.

'Poof, little ghost, are you going to catch it alive?'

"The princess doesn't laugh at me, I have also passed the three major trials, and it is no problem to hunt in the forest to fill my stomach."

"The little ghost is less proud, it's just that you were lucky to catch a big cat, as if you already know the forest of the Aurora World very well."

'Hmph, let's wait until we eat the barbecue.'

The soul link is still working, and that's a blessing in misfortune.

If Ellie, who has a human life, can't continue to share my heart and mind, then I'll have to die alone.

'That's right'

The little guy pinched my ear.

'I didn't understand, why didn't you let Mespil kill Corlius?'

'Can't you snoop through the soul link?'

'Of course you can, but I don't understand'

Call......

"That's because I think...... I'm tired."

'Huh?'

The little guy pinched my mouth with his hand and reminded me not to scare away the prey.

As a powerful elven princess, it is certainly impossible to understand the fragility of human beings.

Because the fear of losing Ellie was a huge blow to me, almost destroying my mind.

So much so that after saving Ellie's life, my mind was still in a situation where I couldn't think.

Even now, I can still feel an indigestible feeling of infarction hidden in my heart.

It never occurred to me that I might lose Ellie.

So when I saw that Corlius was sad because of the killing of Siga, I suddenly felt that I couldn't do anything to Corlius.

It may be some kind of defect in the fragile human mind, something like Stockholm syndrome, but I can't rule it out with reason.

At that moment, I really felt ...... Enough is enough.

I don't want to see more bloodshed and sacrifice, I don't want to be involved in all this anymore.

As long as Ellie is alive and by my side, no matter what happens to Chief Satie or what happens to the Dawn Mountains, it probably doesn't matter to me.

So now I'm not in a hurry to go back to the Dawn Mountains, just to be able to spend a little more time with Ellie.

No......

It only makes me more vulnerable.

My mind returned to the world in front of me.

No matter how long the road to resist vulnerability is, I will make myself strong again.

Not for myself.
