Elven Maiden-san slept soundly for a day thanks to the sleeping drug, she finally woke up in the afternoon.
She jumped in surprise when she woke up since I was looking at her beautiful sleeping face, then she had a lot to say like “What have you done to my private escorts?!” “What are you going to do to me?!” “No way, my chastity…”, so I made some imitation tea—with the help of Alchemist-san—out of medicinal grass, which settled her for now.
The tea's sedative effect kicked in immediately.
Afterwards, I told her what happened.
The escorts were all dead, I took their hearts and equipment as payment for giving them a respectful burial. I—Gobukichi-kun was excluded since he wasn't there at the time—was watching the situation from the preparation phase, I attacked the humans before killing and eating them, that's all.
I told her everything without holding back.
Oh by the way, I never said anything about the Elven prisoners of war since it is unrelated. There might have been a problem if I told her, but I didn’t because it doesn’t relate to her.
Well, speaking of Elven Maiden-san’s reaction, she was extremely mad.
I was punched in the head and got hit a few more times, but to be honest, it wasn't a big deal. It was like getting hit by a small child. Repeated punches you say? That image is actually quite close.
Though I thought ‘Did Elf Maiden-san behave like that because there was a guy with reasonable position?’, but it's not like I don't understand her feelings, so I let her freely hit me for a while, then I countered with a flick of my finger—My hits are no joke. Even though it's just a poke I had to go easy on her and hold back—to her forehead.
T/N note: He did '????????', which is flathead, and poke her in the forehead. I had to make do with the horrible pun T.T - FB
what? '???' is kochira, this one, usually refers to rou himself or his side of the conflict. he’s been using achira/kochira a lot for that reason. - Vidar
And here I thought rou’s having one of those flight of fancy moment with the famous forehead flick slapstick jokes from the 90’s/00’s (I’m not sure if this was from Silent Library or Takeru’s Corner) - FB
Her swelling head moved back so she won't die, but it still must have been painful, she held onto the spot and scornfully stared at me with teary eyes, I don’t really know.
“The dispute between Elves and humans doesn't matter to us, but I was going to help, so stop hating me and complaining so much”, I declared. Then I told her that there seemed to be a traitor in their ranks.
Then she became silent, after a while she erupted into tears crying in earnest, I tried to comfort her. Gah, the sight of a beauty in tears is foul play.
After that, I wanted to escort Elven Maiden-san to her village, but we talked longer than I expected us to, so she had to stay here for the night.
I made a hammock for her to sleep in tonight.
Well, tomorrow we will go to the Village of the Elves. I wonder how it'll go.
Oh, and Gobujii, weren't you looking at me with expectant eyes saying "Did you catch Maiden-san?" What a bother.
TL Note : Damned perverted & lolicon gobujii. The last girl he did it with was a loli (or used to be loli). - Sarah
It's not like she's an enemy, I'm not going to be hypocritical after spending two hours talking with her……
Oh, I began by asking about the male and female Elves I caught. There was no interest in them because they were the ones who meddled first, it's an implicit rule of the Elves, so I just went with it.
The line of goblins watching was a surreal scene, it went on and on. For the time being, I'm not going to say anything since they were following the rules.
