「Shun, what do you want to do?」
「Eh?」
「Oka-san intend to go to the Elf Village alone. I'm asking what Shun wants to do」
Huh?
I intended to go with Sensei normally though.
Is it different?
「Eh? I intend to go with Sensei though」
A grand sigh leaked from Hyrinth-san's mouth for some reason.
「Shun, do you understand your position?」
「Eh?」
「Currently, we are in the position being chased globally with the sin of national treason. And the principal offender is said to be Shun, right?」
「A-Ah」
「Is it necessary for you to go to the Elf Village nonchalantly?」
I think.
Certainly, I understand Hyrinth-san's point.
I don't have the obligation to protect the Elves.
If seeing from Hyrinth-san.
「Hyrinth-san. There are friends of the same town as me before reincarnation in the Elf Village. I can't abandon them」
Hyrinth-san is surprised at my words, and sends a glance to Sensei.
And, Sensei affirmed it with a nod.
「In addition, I must settle it with Yuugo」
Did he feel my determination? Hyrinth-san closed his eyes once and nodded.
「I understand. If Shun says so, I have no objection. I will follow in order to protect you」
「Thank you」
「Of course I will go too」
Katia appeals her existence as if agreeing with Hyrinth-san.
To be honest, I don't want to take Katia along into the battlefield because I'm worried about her, but now that we have come this far, Katia will not draw back.
Katia is considerably strong, and if she always follows near me, rare things won't happen.
Even if it happens, I can use the resurrection by "Kindness".
Although it's dangerous to rely on it too much, it's far better than nothing.
Although the resurrection of "Kindness" is seen as a cheat skill, the fact is that the use is quite limited.
First of all, it's ineffective if it's not immediately after the person died.
If it's not resurrected within roughly five minutes after death, there's no effect.
When Father was killed, if I resurrect him at the very beginning, this might not happen.
However, I suffered a defeat by Yuugo and got wounded at that time.
If I'm not in perfect condition, the resurrection will not success.
And, even if I resurrect, I can't resurrect if the former body is completely destroyed.
If I don't clear these conditions, I can't resurrect.
Besides, if I resurrect another person, "Taboo" will become level 10.
When "Taboo" becomes level 10, a frightening thing seems to happen.
If possible, I want to avoid it, but if my comrades are sacrificed, I will probably execute resurrection without hesitating.
「Unfortunately, I'm a burden in combat. I will remain here, and advance the preparations for the royal capital recapture」
Leston-niisama said so and selected to stay.
「Then, I will devote myself to the assistance of Leston-sama. I don't think that my power is useful from now on」
It seems that Clevea will remain with Nii-sama.
「Please let me go with Shurein-sama」
Anna said so with an obsessed expression
To be honest, it was unexpected that Anna said so.
Because Anna is a Half Elf.
And, we are heading to the Elf Village after this.
It's the Elf's exclusive race.
Even if the Half Elves that should be half of the same race, they won't accept them.
It might be simply because they are half same.
Anyway, the Half Elves born in the Elf Village grow up with ashamed feelings, and when they reach the point that they can support themselves, they will be driven out of the village without discussions.
In harsh case, it's said that they might be thrown out while they are still babies.
Anna spends her childhood in the Elf Village, and she has a past of being driven out to the Humans territory.
The Elf Village should have been a place without good memories for Anna.
And that Anna says that she wants to follow to the Elf Village.
「Anna. There's no need to force yourself, you know?」
「No. I'm not forcing myself. I just can't forgive myself like this. Please take me along with you」
Anna who's ghastly.
Speaking frankly, this condition is dangerous.
She is mentally cornered.
Leave her here or take her along, both are not good.
Then, it's better to appoint her in a noticeable place.
「I understand」
「Shun」
「It's okay. Anna, don't force yourself and please always be with me」
「Yes」
I answer Katia who turns a criticism glance with my gaze.
Although it has become the feeling that holds a troublesome thing, Anna is an excellent magician in the Humans.
If her mind is stable, it should be all right.
I will watch her well until then.
I think that the position was reversed suddenly.
In the old days, Anna protects me and taught me about various things.
This time, it's my turn to protect Anna.
「Now that it's decided, let's start the action at once」
Everyone start to move by Hyrinth-san's command.
First of all, we have to reach the Elro Great Labyrinth.
It will start from there.
That night, Katia visited my room.
「What's wrong?」
「No, I thought that there's something that I must tell you」
I prepare myself because it doesn't seems to be a good thing just by looking at Katia's strangely awkward face.
「You heard the story of the missing students from Sensei, right?」
「Ah」
「Among that, four people have already died」
「I see」
I have expected it to some extent.
Although I expected it, when I hear it like this, I'm shocked.
「Why saying such thing now?」
「If we go to the Elf Village, we will meet with our old friends, right? I thought that it should be better for you to at least know the name of the dead ones before that」
「I see, thank you. You know that I will feel depressed when I hear about it, so you never told me until now, right?」
「Yeah」
「Please tell me. Who died?」
「I will say it from the one with good relations. First of all, Kogure」
Kogure.
I see, I can never meet him again.
