chapter 10
10 – reject-2
“Eh, an elf?”
“Why did the elf tell the baron…”
The guards stood in front of me as if embarrassed. When I turned around and saw the archer’s face, anger surged in my head.
I did enough. I wasn’t angry with her, I did my best not to see her.
Considering that a person who should have left for the World Tree is still here, it was hard to expect good intentions.
“let’s go.”
I didn’t want to mix things up any more. She might be angry, but now it’s a man. There is no need to put up with her in order to defeat the demon lord.
“Wait, wait. Wait…”
The voice was strange. He was swaying like someone addicted to drugs.
It doesn’t seem like a normal situation, but there was no loyalty to worry about her.
“Behind, behind…”
“don’t mind.”
I never wanted to see you again. There was no responsibility I owed her.
“Wait a moment…”
But the archer, for some reason, kept trying to come closer to me.
weird. No matter how you think about it, it wasn’t like her.
If he was going to kill me, he wouldn’t have to show his face in such a hassle.
He was an archer who hated even smelling me, so shooting an arrow from a high place would have been enough.
“Wait! This, release this!”
She was always the lightest in the party.
Because of the unique eyes that looked down on him, it seemed that she would always live like that.
His eyes softened a little when he saw other party members, but that was far from kindness and respect.
To put it bluntly, is it the way humans feel when they see a fly or the way they feel when they see a pet rhinoceros beetle?
“Whoops, whoops, whoops…”
However, the archer had an expression I had never seen before.
A distorted face mixed with fear and painful defeat, not contempt or anger.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I know you did it! Are you going to deny it, you coward!”
Between her disturbed breathing and trembling gestures, I could sense that she was genuinely angry.
But, I really didn’t do anything to her.
His resentment grew in an instant, and he asked the question, ‘Why do I have to accept this kind of force?’ I couldn’t answer that question, and I couldn’t respect her anymore.
“Don’t f*ck!”
Come to think of it, she hated me almost from the first day we met.
At most, it has changed from the level of ‘hating it but not revealing it’ to the level of ‘ordering me without hesitation and revealing hatred’.
I could only understand now. That woman, she intends to accuse me of something.
At first, drug addiction or poison was suspected. No matter how you look at it, her condition wasn’t normal.
However, I forgot about it for a while. Elves in this world don’t suffer from aphrodisiacs. Poisons of all kinds were only slightly pungent to the elves.
It was she who forced me to take a bath to the extent that my skin peeled off, saying that I smelled like normal.
If she had a real problem, even if she was addicted to something like an aphrodisiac, which was unlikely, there would be no reason to find me among the many men in the capital.
There was no need to find out why. because she hated me
So far, it may have been that he couldn’t kill me because he was wary of the eyes of the other party members. I thought I looked so insignificant and worthless that I wasn’t worth killing for.
However, if she really hates me and tries to take away my honor, which is more important than life by the standards of an elf, then all of her actions are explained.
“What more do you want!”
Wasn’t it enough to hit me and despise me? Was that smell a big enough factor to make me hate it so much?
“Oh, I can’t help it! Just smell it once…”
“Do you hate me so much that you have to come back and smell that f*cking smell!”
“That’s not it! That’s…”
I turned my back on her. I was reluctant to show my back to an archer who hated me, but I believed I wouldn’t be insane enough to stick an arrow in my back.
The guard froze for a moment, not knowing what to do, but eventually followed me as I ran away.
She stopped there for a moment and sat down. It wasn’t that there weren’t many people around, but for an elf to show such rudeness was something that would become an issue.
I just came out If I don’t want to make trouble, I really need to lock myself in my room…
“Baron, avoid!”
“What?”
The sound of lightly tapping the ground was heard. And, it was getting closer.
“Kuk!”
It was so light footsteps that I didn’t recognize it as a human sound. With his agile movements, the archer approached a fairly wide distance in an instant.
And, as if to be embraced by me, it came crashing into my body.
“Suck!”
It was so fast, I didn’t even notice it was a person. I just felt my body move.
In battle, there was no law that the rear was safe. At first, he waited in a safe place and showed his face when the fight was over, but that was impossible the moment he crossed the empire.
Rather than staying alone in the safe zone, it was safer to be near the warrior party even in the middle of a rough fight.
Having passed over and over again the gobi of death, in some situations, my body reacted before my head reacted.
“Awesome!”
“What, what!”
It was a fist. Normally, my legs react first at times like this, but I was so surprised that just stretching out my arms was the only thing I could do.
“Large, large!”
“What happened?”
The guards, unable to follow the scene with their eyes, hurriedly brought their spears to her and stood guard.
“Aww…”
The precious clothes the archer was wearing were scattered on the ground and covered with dirt, and her face was flushed red.
As if the soft touch of my fist wasn’t a lie, she was gasping for breath, full of tears.
“Che, we need to arrest…”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
It wasn’t looking after her. Anyway, arresting elves is just long and difficult.
Although elves are arrogant, there was a conventional wisdom that they did good things. Having been beaten by the archer, I seriously wanted to ask what the criteria for that ‘good deed’ were.
Anyway, things aren’t going to be easy if I turn the archer over to the guards because she attacked me.
I was sure to ask why the elf was attacking me, how I was able to hit that elf,
I should then have time to sit down with that disgusting creature a few more times and compare each other’s statements.
It’s better to just ignore her than to see her again.
“Porter, Jim…”
The archer was desperately calling out to me, but unfortunately, he couldn’t even call my name properly.
Come to think of it, have I ever given them a name?
I probably forgot even if I told you. And, I don’t want to give out my name either.
As for the name to use for a while, the name of this method is sufficient.
“let’s go.”
“…yes!”
I glared at the archer for a while, then left, leaving her behind again.
/////
Nerwen was abandoned on the sidewalk, sniffing like a dog, sniffing his body.
“I…why did I…”
Still, after a bout of smelling him, I came back to my senses. The smell started to make me sick again, and the mindset of an elf took control of my body again.
As she gently brushed the white clothes with her slender hand, the dirt was magically swept away.
But the red marks on her face did not disappear. Nerwen put his finger on the red mark, feeling his smell and heat on it.
Fortunately, I came back to my senses a little. Her head was still dizzy, but at least she was able to think with her head compared to when she had been searching for him nonstop for a second.
“Now… what should I do?”
However, her cold-hearted reason only allowed her to see the bleak future more clearly and clearly.
It would have been better if the porter wanted revenge or tried to make a deal by spitting out an insidious purpose.
It was because I was confident that I could get through it no matter how lousy a porter was.
But he didn’t ask for anything, and seemed to know her condition only superficially.
That was even more disturbing.
Right now, her body is being eaten away, and I don’t even know why.
If it’s a curse, you need to find out who it’s cursed on. If it’s a conspiracy, we need to find out who the person who instigated it is and punish it.
But this was just something she didn’t understand. It was massive violence.
Is this how it feels when a fish that has lived in water all its life hears the words, ‘You don’t actually have gills’ and fills its throat with water?
I was afraid. It was an incomprehensible and unbearable life.
“Do I have to live with that porter for the rest of my life like this?”
not enough. The smell I smelled for a while today is not enough.
If she hadn’t had the mental powers of an elf, she might still be holding onto him and begging for mercy.
Nerwen wept bitterly. She hates to admit it, but the pain and horror was too much for her to handle.
