episode_0034

After defeating the right hand man of the Four Heavenly Kings, Asterios and a high-ranking demon.

The fight against the remnants of Goseong was over sooner than expected.

‘It would have been a pain in the ass if they had held on hostage, but perhaps because they are Asterios’ subordinates, they don’t do that.’

Because, in the old castle, only skeletons without any reason remained.

All those who had the intelligence to take hostages and fight came out to fight the elf army and were reduced to nothing, so we entered the old castle occupied by the demon king army bloodlessly.

and,

“I found a secret door to the basement!!”

‘For some reason, the elves couldn’t even see their noses sticking out.’

“It may be a trap, so the Elven Knight search party should go in first and check.”

“Yes!”

A door leading to the castle’s basement was discovered after a short search.

A search party headed inside…

Soon, a loud shout rang out.

-Holy shit!!!

-This, this, human!! Come quickly!!! please!!!

-Lucia!!! Hurry up and find that person!!!

“… … … !?”

A voice calling me in a desperate voice.

We quickly exchanged glances.

… Elizabeth’s head nodded slightly.

“I can’t help it. Still, just in case, let’s go together.”

“I will follow too!!!”

“Yes. … Lucia, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

After that, we quickly ran underground.

Judging by the urgent call, I think there must be an injured person competing for the hourly rate.

… I realized that my prediction was wrong when I noticed that the elves who entered first were standing with their backs to the door.

“… … ?”

“Human!! Quickly, somehow!!”

-Knock, knock!

“… … … !?”

For some reason, the elf knight greeted me with a red face on the day I came running in a huff.

After that, they mercilessly pushed me toward the door.

Of course, Arthur, Elizabeth, and even Lucia protested…

“You guys, what are you doing?”

“What are you doing to the hero? !!!”

“Let go of the angel… … !!”

“———This person is the only one who can go in there now!!! Even Lucia goes in there… … !!!”

“… … … Huh?”

The elf knights cry out with an expression twice as earnest as the one who lost their snack.

My companions asked, ‘Why are they like this?’ With a stiff expression on my face, I was pushed in front of the door of Eoyeongbuyeong.

… Why is it that I’m the only one who can get in? Although I liked the elves a lot, why am I the one that even Lucia can’t enter? why?

‘… Hey, I don’t know. ‘I won’t die.’

“I figured it out. I’ll open it.”

But soon I was liberated and held out my hand.

I’m sure they’re not driving me to my death.

“Hero!? I knew there was something… .”

“There must be a reason why I am the only one who can enter. And even if something happens, I believe that Arthur and Elizabeth will protect me. Can I trust you?”

“… … Tsk. I’ll be standing by with my shield. If I hear even a single suspicious sound, I’ll run straight to you as an elf.”

“Just leave it to me, angel!! Even if there is a surprise attack, we will jump in and protect you before it happens!!”

When I asked them to protect me if anything happened, the two nodded, raising their swords and shields.

Lucia, who had been asking the elf knights about this and that, also opened her mouth.

“I swear with all my ears that it is not dangerous. … Since you haven’t even told me, it must be something important. Please.”

“Please, human… !!!”

“All other humans should look away!! hurry!!! Lucia, please too!!”

“… … Okay.”

A group of elves asking us to quickly resolve the issue inside.

As I watched in awe, I slowly pushed open the stone door…

-Drur.

“… … … !!!!!!!!!!?”

Inside the basement revealed later.

After seeing the devastation in what appeared to be a dungeon, I was speechless and my expression distorted.

“Hero, what’s wrong?! What happened… … .”

“Everyone, don’t ever look at this!!!”

‘It’s enough for me to suffer eye terror!!!’

Because the people inside were naked elves covered in a suspicious liquid.

… … But now it’s only men.

‘I heard that they were taken as sex slaves, so of course I was thinking of female elves, but when I thought about it, this was a world where the genders were reversed!? It’s really diverse!!!’

-Tight.

In the past two weeks, I’ve been dealing a lot with the devil… While the male elves who seemed to have been victimized looked at me with empty eyes.

I couldn’t face it anymore and closed my eyes tightly.

I wondered why I was the only one who could go in, but was it because I was a man? really.

“Human. First of all, even if it’s just cloth to wrap around their bodies… .”

“… … Okay.”

‘First of all, we need to quickly get rid of those things in front of our eyes. ‘Shop window!’

* * * * * *

After a while.

The appearance of the elves imprisoned in the dungeon was very clean.

They wiped off the saliva-covered body with large-capacity wet tissues, and wrapped a large towel around the body that was not covered in even a single thread.

Afterwards, the Elven Knights who received the signal from the vision slowly began to lead them to the ground…

Even in the clear sunlight, the despair in their eyes could not be erased.

“Honey, honey… … .”

“… … … .”

They remain silent even when their family or lover calls.

This was because what they had experienced for two weeks was so horrendous.

The number of kidnapped male elves is 4,000. However, less than 1,000 people were rescued alive.

You can tell just by looking at the numbers how terrible the hell they went through must have been.

There was anger in the eyes of the elf soldiers.

“If only I had come a little sooner… !!!”

“Damn, damn… !!!”

“… … .”

However, not even a single drop of dew gathered in the eyes of the male elves.

Because their tears have dried up by now.

The castle was filled with despair at the pitiful sight of him not even being able to grieve.

Despite the joy of rescuing kidnapped compatriots.

—however.

– Morakmorak.

“… … … ?”

‘This smell… ?’

The gloomy atmosphere that seemed unlikely to lift soon reversed.

By a warm scent wafting from somewhere.

-everyone. Bring the rescued compatriots to the back of the castle.

What I heard at the same time was their princess. Lucia’s voice.

A ray of hope flashed across the gloomy expressions of the female elves.

“… … … !!! Could it be that that person?”

“Yeah, right. If that person… !!”

Afterwards, they carefully led the elves, who seemed ready to break at any moment.

With earnest hope for the inferior humans who have been ignored for so long.

… Their hopes grew even brighter when they saw the scene behind the castle.

“Lucia, ask the elves there to wash this for me… .”

“Okay, human!!”

-Chat.

‘There are no tsunderes anymore.’

There, Sihyeon, who had built a simple kitchen, was directing the elves and focusing on cooking.

The elves are excited with the hope that their close-minded compatriots will be healed even a little.

It was a very unexpected reaction from the male elves.

‘Why do you make that kind of expression on a mere human…? … No, that person is a little different.’

But deep down, they also vaguely understood why they reacted that way.

This was because his appearance at the time of rescue was so impressive.

-Tight.

-Oh God… … .

He watched himself being horribly violated for two weeks and closed his eyes tightly without even a single reaction of disgust or disgust.

Although it was only because he had suffered an eye attack, due to Sihyeon’s unique atmosphere, it was seen as the image of a saint who sincerely sympathized with them.

Didn’t they even summon something similar to a wet towel to wash their bodies and cloth to cover their bodies in an instant?

At least they knew that, unlike other humans, he helped out of pure goodwill.

Therefore, they could only watch Sihyeon cooking with blank eyes.

“I washed up, human!! Is there anything else to order!?”

“Then, could you peel and pound some garlic? I’m right here.”

“Okay!!”

“If anyone has free time, please crack this egg and place it here.”

“Just leave it to me!!”

Among the proud elves, the Elven Knight Floretta is especially famous for being arrogant.

I was a little puzzled by the sight of her and other elves moving in perfect order at the command of a mere human…

As soon as Sihyeon started cooking properly, they soon fell into concentration.

‘… That human. Cook some food, no. He’s very good at it.’

‘Even my grandfather who has been cooking for over 100 years wouldn’t be able to cook it that fast… ‘

Unlike female elves, most of them are true grooms who have taken grooming classes.

How amazing it is to see them trimming and chopping a mountain of ingredients and busily checking the four pots in turns. They recognized it at a glance.

Of course, that was thanks to the correction of my cooking skills…

In any case, on the outside, he appears to be much more than just a self-proclaimed master.

A ray of curiosity bloomed in the pupils that were filled with despair.

It was a good sign.

However, Sihyeon didn’t even care and focused on cooking.

‘Ugh… When I looked at the monsters earlier, they looked scary. I can’t believe I was bullied by those guys who look like Monjayaki* for two weeks. ‘I take care of you out of pity.’

※Monjayaki (もんじゃ焼き): A type of Japanese pancake. Looks like vomit.

Si-hyeon guessed what had happened to them, and as a man before he was an elf, he couldn’t help but feel pity for them.

He went beyond the gender gap and thought, ‘Oh, that’s a bit much’ and continued cooking to comfort the elves…

Soon, a soft golden light rose from all four pots at the same time.

The cooking skill was judged to be a great success.

-Tiring!

‘It’s done! I’ll stop the time so it doesn’t blow… .’

“Since there are already 1,000 servings, would you please share a bowl with each of the rescued people? Here are the ladles and bowls.”

-Patter.

Then, Si-hyeon takes out the spoons and bowls that he had packed in his inventory from the forest.

The elves, who were already accustomed to large quantities of food, quickly started eating.

Steaming wooden bowls quickly began to be delivered to the hands of the male elves…

They began to scoop up the contents with trembling hands.

And then, after a while.

-Chuck, Chueup. Chureup.

“… … !!!!!?”

‘Why are they acting like that all of a sudden!?’

———The elf men and women started kissing passionately, not caring about what others thought.

A truly adult kiss, with tongues mixing together.

‘No, it doesn’t have that effect on my cooking…’ ‘What is that?’
