"Shared Soul ......"

I see. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turns out that everything is because of this.

Elle kissed me in order to save my life in the elf game.

Shared his soul with me, shared his memories and feelings about magic with me.

I learned the magic of saving lives.

So this isn't part of the contract between the medium and the elves?

I've been in the dark all along.

I thought it was the convenience of being a medium.

But now I know what a price Ellie paid to save me.

And what kind of mood this little guy has been in to stay by my side all along.

"Because of the relationship between the souls, as a side effect, she can read your mind and you can access her memories, so you just used a spell that only Elle can unleash"

The big sister's voice was shaking.

That's why Linda just found out about all this.

Because Ellie read my mind and knew I was being attacked by an assassin.

And she herself couldn't come to save me, so the only way to save my life was to teach me to use her magic.

The Shield of Quenching and the Spiked Flame Shield of the Scorched Earth Elves.

And it was this magic named after the 'Scorched Earth Elves' that exposed Ellie's secrets.

Wait, is her ability to read my mind a side effect of sharing soul?

"In other words, the telepathy between me and Elle is not a psychic relationship?"

Linda shook her head.

I see.

That's why, after Elle entered the Dawn Mountains, warned me not to telepathically say a word to her.

But......

"Is there something terrible about the ritual between us?"

Although I vaguely had the answer in my heart, I couldn't help but ask.

Linda nodded to me with a melancholy look.

This big sister, who usually squints her eyes and has a gentle expression, is now extremely sad in her eyes.

"One million million years ago, because of the intermarriage between elves and giants living in the northern woodlands......"

Liu Xiao explained to me.

This is probably a story from a book she just saw.

"Rock cedar, needlewood, iron vine, gray skin, the elves of the four surnames were driven out of the Dawn Mountains by the Dawn Council"

Liu Xiao's face didn't look as calm as just now.

"The elves of the four families carried the other banished elves and settled in the Chain North Mountains, calling themselves the Sheikh of Satie"

Liu Xiao's voice suddenly began to tremble slightly.

It seems that she has felt the consequences of the matter.

Suddenly remembered.

Corlius's self-introduction.

His name is 'Corlius Needlewood'.

In other words - what I've done is bad enough.

Even bad enough to have an impact on Ellie's identity.

I subconsciously hugged the elf in my arms a little tighter.

"My name is Linda Akaba"

With a complicated expression, Linda began to tell her story.

"But actually, Akaba is my mother's surname"

"My father's last name is Iwasugia"

That's a ...... A shocking truth.

That is, Linda was a child born of an intermarriage between Chief Satie and the elves of the Dawn Mountains.

"Listen to my mother"

"When she first gave birth to me, she and my father had a discussion about whether I should grow up in the Satie Chieftain or in the Dawn Mountains."

"Later my father convinced my mother to take me with me in the Auroville Mountains"

"Because at that time the Dawn Mountains and the Satie chieftains were already at war"

"So my father atoned for my sins and my mother"

"Committed suicide on the battlefield"

Heavy story......

"Elle's mother and Meispil's mother are half-sisters, and my mother and Elle's mother are cousins"

"So Mespier, Elle and I, the three of us are brothers and sisters"

"The king of the elves at that time, the father of Mespil, had mercy on my father"

"So he agreed to let me stay in the Dawn Mountains and live here as the elves of the Dawn Mountains"

"But the Dawn Council vetoed the decision"

"One person can only change another, that's their reason"

"So the Elven King, under pressure from the Council, announced that his mother's surname 'Akaba' had been lifted"

"She now lives in the Sunrise Valley like any other normal elf"

"And I, as a prince and nobleman, grew up in Chiya City"

Saying this, Linda's eyes calmed down a little.

It seems that after such a long time, she has long accepted what happened to her family and let go.

"Sister Ellie Heranna, who is older than me, has always loved me, and she has been my best friend since I was a child"

"But the other High Elves don't think of me like that"

Well?

Suddenly I remembered.

When I first came to the elven world.

Mespier's tone of voice to Ellie was soft, like that of an older brother to his younger sister.

But Linda's tone is more blunt, like a conversation between a commander and a soldier.

Could it be for this reason?

"Later thanks to Brother Maispil"

"He taught me martial arts, light magic, and made me join the Executors"

"Executors and overseers, as respected as planners in parliament"

"Since then, I've been in a lot better with the elves."

It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Mespil seems to be a good man......

"It doesn't matter if it's me and not Ellie who you're kissing"

Oops?

Linda's sudden speech made me panic.

"Humans and elves have no war relationship"

"Although humans are regarded as a low-level race by us compared to elves, they are equally revered."

"If a human marries with an ordinary aristocratic elf like me"

"At most, the royal family name will be canceled"

Hearing this, it seems that things between Elle and me are not as bad as they imagined.

However, listening to Linda's rhetoric, it seems that there is something worse to come......

"But, little ghost, you kissed Sister Ellie Heranna"

"What's wrong with Ellie?"

"Sister Elle had a marriage contract before she joined the Dawn Council"

Yes?

I was shocked.

At the same time, I also felt that Ellie, who was lying in my arms, seemed to be nervous.

Her uneasiness, her fear, all reached my head through the soul link.

"Ellie already engaged?"

There was some desperation in Linda's eyes, and she nodded.

"Eliehana Akaba, the future Elven King, is the fiancée of Maispil Akasugi"

Sky!

Oh my God!

His Royal Highness Prince Mespil!?

This time, I stabbed Lou Zi to the sky!

"Because Mespil is the only son of the Elf King, for the purity of the royal bloodline, the future Elf King's wife must be surnamed Akaba"

"Let Mespil choose Elice Heranna, it was the advice of the previous Elven King on his deathbed"

"Although my sister doesn't want to marry Mespier"

"But considering the relationship between the Akasugi and Akaba families"

"My sister can only promise to come down"

"Now this marriage is known to the elves of the entire Dawn Mountains"

Linda stared at me with those worried eyes, and my face must have turned pale by now.

'I don't like Meispil'

Elle said this in my heart.

It seems that now that the secret is exposed, Ellie doesn't care if she uses telepathy or not.

Little Ancestor, it's useless for you to complain now!

No, no, what problem can I solve if I complain about Ellie?

And this matter, from beginning to end, is just me who is wrong.

I really can't blame Ellie for using such a ritual to save a lowly human.

I don't have the right to do that.

Nor can this be done.

At this time, the memories of the first elf game came back to my mind.

Elle sat on my stomach and wept.

'It's all your fault, it's all your fault'

'Bastard!'

'For elves...... Let's talk about ...... It is a very important ritual......

Elle's words rang in my head again.

What to do?

Can I only be like Linda's father?

Do you end your life at the Council of Dawn to atone for Ellie's sins?

'Forget it, little ghost, what's the point of that'

Elle had heard what was going on in my heart.

'I didn't save you to do this'

Until now.

How many times has Elle saved me.

I can't even count it myself.

I owe this elf, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off for the rest of my life.

"Is there anyone else who knows about this besides you?"

Liu Xiao asked.

That's right!

It seems that there is no one else who knows except us!

Liu Xiao seemed to see the answer from my expression.

"So, for the time being, keep it a secret, and then go around looking for other solutions, can't you?"

The sad color on Linda's face seemed to be blown away by the wind all at once.

Ellie, who was hiding in my arms, also stopped shaking.

The little guy raised his face, looked back at Linda and said.

"The next meeting of the Dawn Council is in a week"

Linda continued with Ellie's words.

"The elven planners who have returned to the Dawn will return to the Council of Dawn"

Elle picked up on Linda's words, with a little excitement.

"When the time comes, I will propose to suspend the marriage, no, it will be fine"

"Hold?"

I don't understand what Ellie means.

"Brother"

Liu Xiao said to me in a complicated tone.

"The lifespan of our human beings is only 100 years at most"

"The lifespan of elves is close to tens of thousands of years at most"

"When you're dead, Elle can fulfill her engagement with Mespier."

Oh...... It turns out that there is still this hand!

However, taking advantage of the short life span of human beings is still novel enough.

Also, when I'm dead, this statement makes me feel unpleasant.

I'm a 15-year-old high school student.
