“···Yes. I am doing well and in good health.”
El and the elder finished their conversation. And Andra, who was assisting next to him, headed to the colony of elves.
The atmosphere of the conversation that began at the elder’s request was not heavy. We mainly just talked about the current situation.
It was a conversation that Else, whose request was rejected, could not have with a bright face. A wry smile appeared on the elder’s face as he read El’s depressed expression.
“Hey… Um, Mr. Andra?”
“What’s going on?”
When the three arrived at the elf colony, an elf approached.
“Has an outsider entered the village now?”
“Ah.”
surely. Most elves know about the person named El, but Revan’s visit was unplanned. Andra opened her mouth.
“I’m sorry for not notifying you in advance. The name is Revan. He is a close friend of Lumiere. He doesn’t seem like a person who will cause trouble, so there’s no need to be scared.”
For most elves, the perception of the human race was not very good. In the eyes of elves who live without much desire, human greed is something that is unpleasant and its origin is unknown.
It got much worse after Sophia polluted the World Tree and made the elves sick. The relatively weak elves had reason to be scared because such a human had entered their colony. Andra slightly lowered her head.
“No, that. That’s not it…”
However, the elf in front of him hesitated and did not leave Andra’s side. As if that wasn’t important.
“···Did you cause some kind of trouble?”
He definitely wasn’t the type of person to do that… Andra muttered softly.
“No! To be precise, it is not that he caused the problem…”
The elf was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“···I’m currently sparring with Lision. That too, quite violently.”
“What?!”
Lysion. Among the elves, he was one of the youngest, born relatively recently.
At the same time, it was also the highest power for the elves. It is true that the average inaction of the elves was excellent, but Lysion’s approach was different.
Therefore, even elves with mild desires sometimes expressed jealousy and stuck out their tongues at Lysion’s brilliant inaction. A person who truly received his mother’s love.
“Where is it?! Guide me right away!”
“Yes, yes!”
However, perhaps because his mother was fair, she gave Lysion great wealth and took away his social skills. To be precise, he was a guy who had no idea what he was thinking.
“Lision…!”
In Andra’s opinion, if we were to consider the probability of an accident occurring in the colony, Lysion was much higher than Revan. So, following the elf’s guidance, I started running.
El and the elder also followed behind Andra who ran out. When we arrived at the lawn after running for a while, the three saw it.
“How long do you plan on doing this? It might be better to take a little break.”
Revan is panting, completely damaged except for his gas mask. And Lysion standing in front of him.
“Lision! You-”
Andra, who saw that, tried to rush in. Lysion also asks fellow elves, ‘Why can’t this be done?’ There have been quite a few records of people breaking hearts without malicious intent.
“···Elder?”
However, someone grabbed Andra’s arm. He was an elder with a line drawn around his mouth as if he was interested.
“Leave it alone.”
“But-”
“Even if I leave you alone. Does that look like the eyes of someone who is about to give up?”
The elder’s voice seemed somewhat excited. Andra turned her gaze towards Revan.
“······!”
“Isn’t it good?”
A heat that could not be hidden was shining brightly in the eyes beyond Revan’s lens.
“···Aren’t you the one who suggested sparring first?”
Crack. Revan turned his shoulders, relaxed his body, and adjusted his grip on the dagger.
“I feel like I’ve finally relaxed a bit. ruler. Please come in.”
“···Okay.”
A voice filled with determination. Lysion, realizing the hidden meaning behind it, kicked the ground once again. It was the resumption of sparring.
***
“······.”
After that, the sparring continued. Until L’s expressionless expression turned into a straight face.
“···!”
However, it was an opportunity that Revan did not want to miss. It is rare to have the opportunity to receive instruction from someone like this.
Lysion. To put it bluntly, he was a strong man with no guarantee that he could win even if he fought at full strength after absorbing magical power.
“Ugh-!”
Before he knew it, Revan was hit in the stomach and fell to the floor. I didn’t know how many times I fell because I didn’t count since I fell about 100 times.
“I was too impatient just now. It’s true that you received it perfectly, but you need to be able to compare your skills with your opponent.”
“···Thank you.”
However, Revan stuck the dagger in the ground and stood up with his legs shaking. And fixed it again.
Taaaak-!
“Too slow.”
Taaaak-!
“Don’t be eaten by pain. Even if your bones are broken, your body can move. Even more so if you have a constitution like yours. Somehow forget the pain.”
Taaaak-!
“It was okay just now. If my physical condition was normal, it might have been more threatening.”
Several rounds of competition. Revan fell as many times as that number.
“Now let’s get some rest.”
“Still, far away-”
“I can’t do it because it’s hard.”
Before he knew it, beads of sweat were forming on Lysion’s forehead. The teacher says it’s difficult, but it can’t continue. Revan calmly put the food El brought into his mouth.
“···Is there only fruit?”
“Fires are strictly prohibited in the elf colony.”
El’s expression was not very bright, as if she did not like Lysion. He cut the crunchy fruit with a somewhat sulky expression.
“Please eat.”
“···Thank you?”
It was a sincerity that is not usually shown. Cutting the fruit yourself.
“···Why do you eat that?”
“Discrimination based on what you eat is the worst thing.”
“···Phew.”
Lysion popped the fruit El had carefully peeled into her mouth as if it were a given. A vein appeared on El’s forehead.
“But Revan?”
“Ah, yes.”
“Why are you here?”
This question was asked a week after we started sparring. Revan finally realized that this was their first conversation not related to battle.
“Well, the story is long. Are you okay?”
“It doesn’t matter. I have nothing to do.”
“Okay.”
Revan chewed all the fruit remaining in his mouth and began to explain. He told the story of being chased here by Antonio and being refused protection by the elder. L’s additional explanations here and there were a bonus.
“To the elder… the hero of the elves who were consumed by demonic energy-”
“Julia.”
“Yes. I asked Julia if she could help me give her rest, but she said it was difficult for my level.”
Wow. Revan’s fist unconsciously tightened. It was resentment that came from not being of any help.
“So, I wanted to become stronger… but when I thought about it, it had been years since I fought a fight where I only used force, so I couldn’t think of a way to do that.”
hmm. Lysion nodded as if his concerns had been resolved.
“That’s how the wide mana core was used.”
“···How did you know?”
“Because you can see it?”
It was a ridiculous answer. You can tell the capacity of the core just by looking at it with your eyes.
“Anyway, while I was thinking about that topic, Mr. Lision happened to help me.”
“I think helping is closer to making a fuss.”
Did you do that even though you knew that? Revan swallowed the words that were sticking out of his throat.
“Anyway, it was helpful.”
“······.”
Crunchy. Suddenly, there was silence between the three, except for the crunching sound. Meanwhile, Lision suddenly stood up from his seat.
“Follow me.”
“···Yes?”
“Follow me.”
Lysion suddenly stood up and walked somewhere. Revan and El followed behind, looking confused.
***
“Levan. Talented.”
“···Ha.”
The place that Lysion visited was the elder’s residence. Andra, standing next to the elder sitting on the throne, sighed.
“Lision. When I wanted to say something, I was told to say it in detail, taking into account the situation.”
“Ah.”
hmm. Umm. Lysion put his hand on his head and groaned for a moment, then moved his mouth.
“Levan. Talented. I can be of great help in Yulia’s liberation. If only there was a little training and support.”
chuck. Lysion put one index finger forward.
“One month.”
“···What?’
“You only need one month. Afterwards, join hands with Lumiere and enter the root of the World Tree. Yulia is liberated. Wow – everything is solved.”
Clap clap – Lysion looked back and forth between Revan and El and clapped his hands. It seemed like he was hoping for a positive response from those around him.
Lysion’s expectations were not met by Revan and El. What kind of eccentricity are you doing in front of an elf elder? But Lysion clapped his hands regardless.
“Everything solved!”
The wrinkles on Andra’s forehead deepened.
