At first glance, it seems like there is a clear distinction between the good side and the bad side. But that’s only from my standards.

What this means is that values that are so deviant cannot be judged as right or wrong. Although it may seem crazy to others, including me, this is natural to elves.

If I had to use an analogy, it would be like tribes living in Africa or South America having traditions and customs that are difficult for outsiders to understand.

“So, we’ll just head back. Let’s go, Kaela.”

In such a situation, you can’t just tell someone to leave the situation, so the right answer is to avoid the situation. And there was one more reason why I didn’t necessarily side with the free elves.

“Eujin! Now, wait a minute!”

ESPI grabs me urgently. Yes. Because my not taking sides itself is a problem for the elves.

It’s very ironic, but because all the elves in this world look like this, I, a human from another world, am using the World Tree’s bow, which is said to be used only by those closest to the World Tree. In a way, my very existence is the key to proving to them that Prinia, the god the elves serve, exists.

And all that aside, the elves were inferior before I came in the first place, so if I leave again like this, the free elves will be able to achieve the results they want without having to worry about right or wrong. ESPI also has a good head, so he must have seen through these facts right away and is holding on to me now.

“Would you just leave like this?”

“It’s not my place as an outsider to step forward.”

“Well, can you help me instead of doing that?”

Ispi had a very pitiful expression. He looked like a puppy that had been kicked out of the house on a night of heavy rain.

‘Ah… I learned the knowledge for no reason…’

If we hadn’t known each other, I would have been able to leave calmly, but even though the occasion of our meeting was the worst, it was difficult for me to act coldly since we had only exchanged a few words with each other. I don’t know if I could be sure that she wouldn’t die, but what I’ve heard so far is true, and if I were in the position of a free elf, I would never let these elves go.

“Phew… I’m sorry, Kaela. I don’t think we can play together today.”

I looked as apologetic as possible and looked at Kaela’s intentions. Not being able to hang out together was a metaphorical expression, and to put it bluntly, it meant that it wasn’t a good idea to have sex today. Naturally, Kaela had a cold face.

“…I think I can do it if I just kill them all and go back.”

Kaela came up with a very simple solution to eliminate the cause of the problem. Of course, it was an unacceptable proposition. You cannot destroy your computer because it has a virus.

“How can I just look at it once?”

“I don’t like it. There is no merit to me at all.”

Unlike Arjen, Kaela did not find it easy to change her mind by coaxing and placating her. It’s not impossible, but if it’s a situation like this that requires giving up sex, it should be considered virtually impossible. So, in order to negotiate, you had to put something suitable on the table.

“Then I’ll do that after this is over.”

“…that?”

Kaela, whose ears perked up, asked again. He probably guessed what I was saying in his head, but he looked like he couldn’t be sure without hearing it in person. I had no choice but to express it as vaguely as possible so that no one here could understand it.

“You know… what they did to Arjen… Polynesian…”

As soon as she heard the word Polynesian, Kaela, whose pupils became bean-sized, nodded vigorously. Is it that good? It was something I had been avoiding at all costs, so it was understandable why I overreacted like that.

‘…Caela’s personality is such that she won’t be able to hold it in for the third day and will explode…’

Anyway, permission was obtained, so now it was time to direct the traffic of those in sight. When I tried to open my mouth again, both the elf and the free elf focused their attention on me.

“I’m sorry to all the free elves, but the elves who live here are on a personal level with me. No matter what, I don’t think I can just let him die.”

“…Then what should we do?”

Carlmond asked what I was instructing him to do, with the feeling that he would follow my orders unconditionally. It was a very wise move, since as long as Kaela’s eyes were open, the lives of everyone here were already in danger. The more I looked at the free elf named Calmond, the more I liked it.

“I won’t tell you to just go back. Anyway, I think the Free Elves are right. So, if there is something you truly want, we will do our best to help you achieve it.”

Of course, I can’t ask you to kill all the elves here. Because that’s a complete reversal. Of course, Carlmond would also be aware of that.

“Then… I want to lift the curse on our blood.”

“…Umm……”

I let out a low moan. It wasn’t unexpected, but I still thought it would be a little easier to ask. For example, asking to be able to live on this land again. Since this area is actually Arjen’s territory anyway, such a request is a piece of cake.

However, asking for the curse to be lifted was a little different. First of all, it was an area I could never do on my own, so I had to borrow Kaela’s help.

“Is it possible?”

At my question, Kaella opened her eyes fiercely and glanced at the group of free elves. The amber eyes were shining brightly, as if trying to penetrate them to their bones. Kaela eventually finished observing and spoke in a low voice.

“If you were asking if the curse could be lifted… that’s impossible.”

“Really?”

“You said that the High Elves are the lineage of those who consumed the fruit of the World Tree, right? There’s an energy in the curse that I don’t know. I think it’s probably a curse that utilizes the power of the World Tree.”

“Wow… I can’t believe that such a seemingly divine power is used for something like this…”

Although I haven’t met them yet, I can clearly see that high elves are a bit more hateful than elves.

“The magic itself is nothing special, but it requires the power of the World Tree to perform it.”

It seems that Kaela is not revered as a god for no reason, given that she is blocked from solving the problem. I asked, bringing my face even closer to Kaela’s ear so that others wouldn’t hear.

“…Then how can it not be done with the power in my bow?”

“Using the power of a divine being is a hundred times more difficult than doing it without the power of the World Tree. Eugene’s bow is the same as a warrior’s holy sword, but who could extract the power of a god from a holy sword?”

When I heard about the power of the World Tree, I was reminded of the bow, which was the purpose of my visit, but when I heard it, it definitely didn’t make sense.

‘What should I do with this….’

I said this in the hope that most things would work out somehow, but something came up that couldn’t be resolved right away. Anyway, this guy’s mouth was so mean.

You can’t just say, ‘This is a hassle, so just pretend it didn’t happen and say something else.’ No, of course, I can’t help but say that because I’m an ordinary human, but the problem is that everyone here actually treats me as the same as Arjen.

Even if it’s not a dragon, it would be too unreasonable to say that such a being was like this or that. Damn it, if it was a love doll, should I have just kept quiet and watched the slaughter between elves like a doll? Isn’t that it again?

“I… I realize that this is an unreasonable request. If that’s true, it’s enough just to secure green land for us to live in.”

Carlmond also seemed to realize that I was embarrassed and took a step back. The green land they talk about literally means forest. It wasn’t a particularly difficult request since there was a forest all around.

“No, no. We will solve it. Definitely.”

As I said before, if I were ‘Eugene, a newbie to society,’ I would have recognized my capabilities and stepped down. However, ‘Arjen’s Love Doll’ should not end up here.

“There’s nothing you can’t do.”

If Haeju needs the power of the World Tree, there is only one answer. This is a problem that will be solved if we go to obtain the power of the World Tree.

“ESP. Where do high elves live?”

“Yes…? Those words……”

“Uh. If there is a problem that cannot be solved here, you should find the cause of the problem.”

If the free elves had a long history, the high elves who cursed them might no longer be from this world. But that didn’t matter. Curses are passed down through bloodlines from generation to generation, so naturally their powers will also be inherited. In other words, it meant that you could get a clue by roughly capturing any high elf and hitting him.

Of course, they also know the purpose for which I visit the High Elves, so they can probably infer that nothing good will happen if I go there. So Ispi could have kept quiet about the high elves.

“High Elves are at the southern end of the world, beyond the continent.”

However, that was my position when I was a scoundrel, and as you can see just by looking at the bow of the World Tree, I am now closer to their god than any other elf that exists in this world.

“Good. Then, could you please step aside until I get there and find a solution?”

When I showed my sense of responsibility to somehow solve the problem, Carlmond looked moved and nodded at me.

“Would it be possible?”

I felt sorry for Kaela because I didn’t think I would be able to return home today, but Polynesian sex lasted for five days, so three or four days would be fine.

“…….”

It’s okay, right?
