366. World Story (2)

I slowly fed the albino elf water in the basement.

Perhaps because it was water she hadn’t had in a while, the albino elf tried to drink it quickly, so I adjusted the water bottle and tilted it so she could drink slowly.

I tried my best to make the albino elf as comfortable as possible.

The so-called carrot and stick strategy!

Pinku-unni is giving the albino elf the stick, and I’m using the strategy of giving the carrot. Then any creature is bound to rely on the person giving the carrot.

Actually, she’s in a terrible state right now, but her original form was a beautiful elf.

A haughty, charismatic, self-respecting, and prickly elf-the elf itself-and she even has albino characteristics? She’s just a super-duper elf.

And that elf is my slave…?

Slavery is trash in reality, but this is a world where slavery is legal.

‘Isn’t this actually a little lacking?’

If I just heal her like this, I honestly think she’ll try to run away. In the first place, for someone to rely on someone else, they must be completely helpless.

But the albino elf is an elf who has received protection from Miko, no less.

The existence of elves itself is a race that receives the second-highest stats among the many races in LeoRe.

This also means that they are an overwhelming race compared to humans. Moreover, in the setting, elves are a race that can live for over 1,000 years.

Of course, if they live for that long, they’re bound to be strong.

That’s why I’m even more curious.

Why she was captured by humans and confined in a secret room despite receiving Miko’s protection.

In fact, at this point, I can only think that another administrator was involved.

So, what I’m trying to say is.

If I just heal her, she might just *sseng!* run away with Miko’s protection, so I need to completely incapacitate her.

A body that cannot survive without relying on someone.

I know this very well.

Because I am someone who cannot survive in reality without relying on someone.

Of course, it’s somewhat okay if I wear prosthetic arms and legs, but overall, it’s hard to live without someone’s help.

I raised my sword towards the albino elf who had not yet recovered.

==

The albino elf with a beautiful appearance.

You might say, how can she be beautiful without arms and legs, but if that appearance isn’t beautiful, then it means that Arang in reality isn’t beautiful, so it’s definitely right that she’s beautiful.

,Let’s see. Now I need to heal her with a heal.,

Arang sent a whisper to Baedeopgae.

As expected, Baedeopgae, who replied right away, used the skill of the ring on her left ring finger to appear in front of Arang.

,Arang-a, what’s wro- Oh my? What’s this caterpillar friend?,

What Baedeopgae saw in front of her eyes wasn’t Arang, but the albino elf caught her eye first.

She was in a broken state after being tortured by Pinku Berry for a long time, and Arang had cut off her arms and legs.

As soon as Baedeopgae saw the albino elf, she blurted out the thought that came to her mind without thinking.

,Caterpillar?,

As soon as Arang heard Baedeopgae’s words, Arang also uttered the word Baedeopgae had taken out.

In fact, if you looked at the albino elf’s appearance, anyone would have thought of her as a caterpillar, or if you were a pervert, you would have thought of her as an onahole.

,Ah.,

Now she’s too close to Arang, and the albino elf’s appearance is so miserable that she unknowingly said the word caterpillar, and as soon as Arang said caterpillar, Baedeopgae covered her mouth with her hand.

Saying that she saw the albino elf as a caterpillar means…

,Baedeopgae-unni saw me as a caterpillar in reality?,

,Taiiim! Void! What I just said is void! Void!,

She waved her hands urgently and shouted, but Arang pretended to wipe away tears, turned her head, and rubbed her eyes with her hand.

,Baedeopgae-unni must have thought of me as a caterpillar every time she held me in reality. *Heuk heuk…*,

,I’m sorry!!!,

,Just kidding. I’ll tell you why I called you.,

,Hoo… Thank you, Arang-a.,

,Quickly change your job to White Mage.,

,White Mage? Ah, you mean heal with the Blessing skill?,

,Yeah. Use the Blessing skill on this caterpillar.,

,Ugh…! Okay.,

The Blessing skill, which has the longest cooldown of the White Mage, is a skill that unconditionally heals the target’s health to 100%.

It’s a healing skill that you just use without any conditions, and it only has a cooldown.

With just this one skill, the healer called White Mage is said to be the easiest healer among all healers.

Baedeopgae, who has played LeoRe for a long time, doesn’t do all jobs as well as her main job, Grim Reaper, but she still has a level of proficiency that can be called human, and she has leveled up all jobs to the max.

Baedeopgae, who transformed into a White Mage, was about to use Blessing on the albino elf.

,Ah, wait a minute, I forgot something.,

Arang stopped Baedeopgae.

,What is it?,

Baedeopgae raised and lowered her staff.

,If I use Blessing like this, it feels like her arms and legs will *bbyong* appear. Then there’s a high probability that she’ll run away as is.,

,Uh… I guess so. Can’t we stop her if there are two of us?,

,Then it’s annoying. Let’s do this.,

Arang, who remembered an item that would be useful in the current situation among the many junk items she had obtained while raiding the auction house, took it out of her inventory.

,What is this?,

Baedeopgae tilted her head at the slightly smooth and curved steel plate that Arang had taken out of her inventory.

,Looking at this, it seems like it’s used on elbows and knees.,

,Elbows and knees?,

,Why, you know. It’s said that slaves who imitate animals wear this when they move on their elbows and knees with their arms and legs folded.,

,Wh-what? Th-that’s what it was?,

,Yeah.,

,How does Arang know about th-that…?,Eh. Unni, I’m 16 years old now.,

,I-is that so… But is this necessary now?,

,Yeah. Wouldn’t it be okay to receive Blessing if we do this?,

Arang placed the steel plate on the cut surface of the albino elf’s severed arms and legs.

Then, she took out leather and fixed it as if she were putting on prosthetic arms and legs.

,Ooh…,

,Unni, try Blessing now.,

,Okay.,

The albino elf was healed in an instant as she received Baedeopgae’s Blessing skill.

All the red effects that were visible on her entire body disappeared, and the albino elf’s original appearance was revealed.

And as Arang thought, the albino elf’s arms and legs were about to grow, but they were blocked by the steel plate, and the growth of her arms and legs stopped, and the Blessing ended.

In the end, the albino elf, who had 100% recovered in other places while still without arms and legs, lost all the pain in her body and mental anguish, and collapsed as her tension was released.

==

The albino elf, whose body and mind were fully recovered, felt as if the fatigue in her whole body was disappearing due to the warmth and softness she felt for the first time in a long time.

When she felt someone stroking her head, the albino elf opened her eyes and stretched out her hand to push Arang away as soon as she confirmed that the person stroking her was Arang.

However, her arm, which had already been cut off by Arang, was far too short to push Arang away.

,Wh-what on earth, wh-what…,

Only then did the albino elf check her body condition.

She was shocked by her body, which was like a caterpillar without arms and legs.

,N-no… Th-this is…,

Even if she is tortured and takes damage, the albino elf, who has Miko’s protection, does not receive damage that would cause her body to be damaged.

However, Arang, who has a stronger protection than Miko’s protection, severed the albino elf’s arms and legs without any problems, piercing through Miko’s protection.

The albino elf, who had been superior and looked down on humans, glared at Arang in front of her as soon as she confirmed that her arms and legs were gone, rather than despairing.

Although she doesn’t have arms and legs, her mana doesn’t disappear just because of that, so the albino elf drew up her mana.

But Arang didn’t just stand still.

Despair, the symbol of power in the 5th world, came out of Arang’s body and strongly compressed the albino elf’s neck.

,Keuheokㅡ!,

,Ah, I shouldn’t have done this.,

Arang regretted using such a strong force without realizing it.

==

First, Arang’s operation began after putting a mana blocking device in the form of a slave collar around her neck to seal her mana.

The carrot and stick strategy of Baedeopgae and Pinku Berry torturing the albino elf and Arang embracing her.

While taking care of the albino elf without arms and legs, Arang realized once again that taking care of someone without arms and legs is quite difficult.

First of all, Arang and the albino elf had many things in common, just like Arang didn’t need a toilet because she was an NPC in the game like herself.

Arang took care of the albino elf who had been *mechakucha*ed by Baedeopgae and Pinku Berry, and thought of Anna, Pinku, and the doctors who always watched over her.

‘To do such a difficult job every single day.’

In fact, I knew that taking care of someone was difficult, but I realized once again how difficult it is to really take care of someone without arms and legs.

‘I should make chocolate and give it to them as a gift later.’

Reality is reality, but first, I need to quickly gain the albino elf’s favor, NTL her from Miko, and piss Miko off.

Moreover, Miko is already somewhat angry and has confirmed that the albino elf is here with a search magic.

‘I should tell the guild members to guard this place for the time being. In the meantime, I need to win the albino elf’s heart.’
