If he really didn’t know what he did wrong, it could have been a pretty embarrassing situation, but I guess he wasn’t that big of a bitch. Ispi suddenly knelt down towards us and began praying for his hands to become feet.

“Sorry, sorry! I have committed a mortal sin…! Please don’t destroy the village!”

Perhaps because he realized that his death was inevitable, instead of begging for his life, he asked the village to forgive him. The reason I, who does not know Elvish, was able to understand Isp’s words was thanks to Sirocco’s hard work as an interpreter.

‘Why is the village suddenly gone?’

Perhaps he was worried that he would be held jointly responsible and even his village would be devastated. Anyway, I wanted to tell him that it was unnecessary to worry because Arjen wasn’t that vicious.

“Hmm? Saying that makes me want to burn the entire forest even more.”

Uh… my guess was wrong. Maybe it’s more brutal than you think. When I glanced at Arjen, she made eye contact with me and smiled. It means it’s a joke. Well then. I had just said that burning down the entire forest was not allowed, but there was no way Arjen would ignore my words.

“Ahh…!”

Isp’s face was filled with despair, as if Argen’s joke had had a fatal effect. I don’t know why, but it felt good to see my pretty face ruined. Sadism wells up.

‘Ugh, since I hang out with Rosé so often, I’ve developed some strange habits.’

After sorting out my complicated mind, I spoke to Ispi, who was sitting down. There were more than one question about her behavior. Even if I go, I have to answer any questions I have before leaving.

“First of all. I wonder why you did that. Since you showed them a favor and even met face to face and talked to them, why did you go out of your way to trick the hero by leaking information to the humans?”

When I started talking, an incident occurred where Sirocco suddenly became busy, but there was still no problem with communication.

“Ah… Well, that’s… I did it because I was anxious at the thought that the village might be in danger.”

“Why are you suddenly worried about the village? It hasn’t even been a year or two since Arzen built a nest around here.”

“That is….”

Ispi began to explain earnestly in a trembling voice. Arjen, who had been talking incessantly ever since he entered the forest, saying that he was planning to kill me and then go back and have a lot of sex with me, showed a dissatisfied expression when things started to get delayed, but stayed calm.

Anyway, after listening to the whole story, I found out that the reason Ispi wanted to send a warrior to me was because he was worried about the village. I had no idea that Arjen’s burning of the human village would develop this far.

‘I wonder how far these damn tuberculosis bacteria can go…’

Now that I think about it, it vaguely occurred to me that the reason Isp requested an audience with Arjen was to ask questions related to the matter. So much time had passed, and I could only understand what Arjen was saying at the time, so I had no idea why she had guided the warrior.

“Wait a minute, but at that time, Arjen answered that there was no need to worry about it because it had nothing to do with you. That too as a verb.”

The dragon’s words could not contain any lies. So, the moment I heard those words, it was normal for Ispi to not have to worry about the village. When I asked him about it, Espy contradicted me as if he couldn’t understand it at all.

“It is true that I asked why the village that offered tribute was burned. And Arzen answered as you said. ‘It was something that had to be done. ‘It’s nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to worry about it’…”

Yes, that’s exactly what it said. But after listening to it, I thought it was a really meaningless answer. Sure enough, ESPI also pointed out the problem.

“In that answer, where can we get the thought, ‘Our village will be safe’? It was something that had to be done according to the Great One’s will, and since it was a human village, of course we as elves didn’t have to worry about it. But doesn’t that mean you confirmed that there will be no burning down the elf forest?”

As I watched Espy say everything he wanted to say even in a trembling voice, I had one thought. I think this might not be our fault at all.

“Umm….”

If I think about it, the reason Isp was able to have an audience with Arjen was because I asked Arjen that I wanted to meet the elf. The reason she was able to return safely after the audience was because Arjen read my expression and guessed that I would not like it if I killed the elf.

If I hadn’t been a carrier of tuberculosis bacteria in the first place, Arjen wouldn’t have burned down the village and Ispi wouldn’t have felt in danger. As I thought about it this way, I felt like my responsibilities were piling up little by little. As I was hesitating about that feeling, Arjen brightened the mood.

“Ah! Why are you making so much noise? Why are there so many excuses? Whatever it is, I told you not to worry, and the fact that you led the hero remains unchanged. And I almost got killed by that hero.”

At those words, Ispi’s forehead fell towards the dirt floor. It was a very powerful dogeja. Seeing a pretty woman bow her head like that makes me feel sadistic again. I think I need to think seriously about whether I can discipline Rosé for a while.

“Well… it’s a consequential story, but in any case, Arjen lived safely and was able to exploit the hero’s weakness, so it can’t be said to be a bad thing.”

What I felt while dealing with Heltica this time was that, except for cracks outside the standard for a warrior, the power that humans have is not much of a threat to Argen. In such a situation, it was a great harvest to be able to place a prohibition called an oath on a warrior.

“Ah… Since we were talking about Heltica, there was one more main topic. That’s right, I called a hero. Oh, yes, that doesn’t mean I will forgive you, but it does mean I understand your motivation. Then why did you let the humans know that the holy sword doesn’t work on me?”

Only this time, it was complete trolling whose intention was impossible to understand. In front of Heltica, he was not at all scared and took a confident attitude, but no matter how much of a threat he was, there was no need to make many enemies, and yet he attracted too much aggro to the human Vatican.

“Actually, I had very complicated feelings when I heard that story from the dryad child over there… But to sum it up, I wanted to know your identity.”

“My identity?”

I wondered if I had something like that. They are no different from humans in this world, except that they come from Earth and have no mana in their bodies. Of course, considering that one reason is that the holy sword cannot penetrate my body, it may not be an issue that can be brushed over so lightly.

“A being impervious to holy swords… It was such an incredible thing that I couldn’t even imagine. It’s a shame to say this as an elf, but a human’s holy sword is something that can be called a disaster to things other than humans.”

The reason humans are excluded is probably because the heroes are on their side. That meant that, as an elf, there was a possibility that the tip of the holy sword would also be pointed at her. It may not happen, but if a war breaks out between humans and elves, the warrior will stand at the forefront of the human side and cut down more elves with the holy sword than anyone else.

“In the meantime, I became unbearably curious about your existence and that the holy sword does not work. Yes, needless to say, this is clearly a sin born out of my curiosity.”

ESP clearly admitted his mistake. Maybe it was because he felt that way from the beginning, but even when he first begged for his mistake, he didn’t even want his own life and was just worried about the village. Begging for his life in a situation where he knew he had no chance of survival would only end up being ugly and meaningless. .

“But because of you, a human paladin came and fought with me. Thanks to you, I learned something I didn’t want to know: that no sacred spell, including the holy sword, works on me.”

These words were uttered with the intention of telling me to face up to my own mistakes, but for some reason, I noticed a strange emotion mixed in ESP’s gaze towards me. Just because it was strange, it wasn’t like a crush or interest from the opposite sex.

‘It’s one level higher than that… What is it, envy? Like respect…’

“There is one thing I want to ask before I die. Could you please allow it?”

I nodded without realizing it. It was a part that showed how embarrassed she was that she would act like that even though the power over her life and death was entirely in the hands of Arjen.

“Are you also God?”

I was very embarrassed because I didn’t know what to answer when ISP asked that question while looking at me with bright eyes. Arjen, who may or may not know how I felt, was very happy to hear Ispi’s question and poured oil on the burning house.

“Hee hee! Eugene is greater than a god or something! Especially on the bed…”

“Quiet, Arzen!”

Ispina, who asked such a question in a serious voice, and Arjen, who encouraged me from the side, seemed embarrassed and couldn’t keep my face up. Ispi’s eyes looking at me became more and more reverent, like when Heltika said Stella’s name.
