I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

65 – Tiffania, abandoned by her mother, has no choice but to cling to Faust.

“The answer is too simple, my queen. They gave our master indelible wounds repeatedly over the years, and also performed a false play that caricatured the master. The moment you spread the lie, your elf qualifications are gone.”

Euphonia spoke coldly, objectively, and outspokenly, as if accusing a total stranger of a crime.

“Uh, Mom… !!”

“In the first place, from our point of view, who are supposed to rise up under the master, there would be no reason to make a foolish choice that might cause us to lose the trust of the master because of an elf. Everyone wants Tiffania’s death, so we can only wait for the Queen’s punishment.”

“mom!!!!!!”

With a cracking scream, Tiffania collapsed in front of her mother.

With an expression of disbelief, the elf of the warrior party pleads while pulling Euphonia’s dress.

“mom… Mom, have you forgotten me? I’m Tiffania, Mom. mom… How much I missed my mother. Ever since my mother was brutally killed by humans, I… Trying to change the circumstances of the elves somehow! To make you treat me a little better! To be acknowledged by humans! You worked so hard that you entered the warrior party?! Uh, I thought it was nice to see you again, but why are you doing this, Mom? Have you ever forgotten me?”

“I remember, Tiffania. Your mother emphasized that you shouldn’t go outside without permission, but you secretly ran away and people misunderstood that your mother let you go, so your mother was murdered. That’s why I lost my body and only my soul came to the coordinates like this.”

“… ah… that, that… ”

Come to think of it, it was none other than herself who prepared the beginning of her mother’s death.

had completely forgotten

Could it be that my mother resents me and is deliberately trying to put me in danger?

“But don’t worry. Because I already forgot about it. We elves usually forgive easily. It is the habit of humans to accumulate resentment over and over again.”

Euphonia said with a grin.

“ah… That’s right, Mom! no, that’s right It’s not like I did it on purpose… Not knowing that my mother would die, I went out for a while and came back… ha ha ha! There’s no way my mother still resents me! That was decades ago!”

“However, violating the Master is a different matter. Tiffania.”

“Hey… !!”

Euphonia’s eyes shone like a goblin.

Tiffania’s legs gave out and she sat down at the power of the older elf, which she couldn’t feel when she was a slave to humans.

“You foolish daughter. Why did you do that to your master? We were all watching the play you demonstrated with a girl named Alice. No matter how much it is for their own survival, spreading lies like the truth for profit. That was not something an elf would do.”

“ah… I’m sorry, Mom. please forgive me… ”

“No, I cannot forgive you. You must die here.”

“mom!!!”

Tiffania’s heart sank.

If even my mother threw me out, who would be on my side?

If you are attacked by these countless elves, your chances of surviving are zero.

And above all, Tiffania was truly unfair and heartbroken.

The reason I’ve been working hard all this time is to free the elves.

It was to live happily together with the free elves someday.

However, the current situation in which the compatriots he wanted to save so much was rather hostile to him and bullied him was, in a sense, a pain that was harder to endure than death.

“Huh… ugh… !! please! please!! I’m an elf too! Let me go with you guys too! It’s okay if you’re just a jerk! Whether it’s a shield or a cannon fodder, anything is fine, so just let me fight with you!!”

“It’s already too late, Tiffania. We have decided not to consider you as a compatriot.”

“How could you say that to your daughter, Mom!!! Even if everyone else abandons me, only my mother has to stand by my side!!”

“Such an individualistic way of thinking is also a trace of human influence. Didn’t you hear what the queen said? We are one mind living in another body. Just because you’re a daughter doesn’t mean you’re special compared to other elves. All elves are naturally closer than family, regardless of blood ties. The important thing is to share the same mind. But Tiffania, you are different from us.”

“Yes?”

As if feeling sorry for Euphonia, she lowered her eyes and said.

Her expression showed the sadness of parents digging their children who became drug addicts or felons from the family register.

To that extent, having a different mind was an unacceptable behavior in the elven society.

“You don’t actually think of Faust-sama as your master, do you?”

“… Yes?”

“You may have a genuine desire to fight with us, but you don’t think you’re bad for bothering Faust-sama.”

“ah… That… that’s!!”

He was hot, his face flushed.

A point that almost penetrated the original mind.

This was the reason elves never lied to each other.

If you lie in a situation where you share your heart with each other, you will be caught unconditionally, so it has become a custom not to lie.

Still, Tiffania foolishly decided that she could get out of the situation with her tongue.

Euphonia was right.

Tiffania could call Faust her master as part of her art of living, but she couldn’t serve him deep in her heart.

It is because of the years of ignoring and harassing Faust for a long time.

The guy who was a brat until yesterday turns out to be my master?! It hurts one’s pride to accept this development.

Of course, it’s not difficult to pretend to accept it only on the outside, but that kind of camouflage doesn’t work for elves.

Tiffania, who had been exposed to her inner feelings, tried to break the situation with only the truth.

“Yes! but! but! I’m not as strong as Queen Misha, but I’m a pretty strong elf! It will definitely help mom and other older sisters and seniors! me! I… ! I!!!”

Tiffania’s voice trembled with resentment and resentment.

“I am with you! I want to greet the day of laughing and chatting! Whoa… Whoa!! I tried! really hard! Whoa… ! aaa!! I lived hard!! Please admit that much, Jebaaal!!! Add me too!!! Just don’t bully me!! aaa!!!!”

Tiffania’s town hall was rather counterproductive.

Elves, who like rational and rational things, hate speech that appeals to emotions.

Having stayed so long in human society and not knowing the laws of the elves, Tiffania continued to howl.

“I!! for all of you!! For your liberation!! In order to be acknowledged as elves by humans!! He made a lot of contributions!!! If it wasn’t for Faust!! The culture and customs of persuading the warrior Kwak Dong-soo to treat elves as slaves unconditionally! I would have fixed law and administration! Faust ruined it! Go Faust! It’s all Faust’s fault!!!”

A hot breeze blew and tossed the reeds in the same direction.

The sky at the coordinates was dyed red with the setting sun, and an atmosphere of something unusual was about to happen.

All of these changes were caused by the emotions of the elves being filled with anger.

“What did I do wrong!! Did that bother Faust?! You can apologize! I’m sorry!! I didn’t do well!! okay?! That’s it!!! Are you really going to kill me for just that reason? It’s not like I bullied the same elf, really… You’re making a big campaign out of bullying a human. Let me cover the fruit with my balls! I’ll repay you with my performance in war! ok!! Whoa… Kkeuk… ”

It wouldn’t work even if she lied anyway, so Tiffania didn’t think of face and spat out everything that was in her heart.

At this point, the elves who had been patiently waiting for so far passed Euphonia and started talking one after another.

“Didn’t you hear what the Queen said earlier? What will I do if I have to be acknowledged by humans?”

“What do you think they will release the imprint of a slave?”

“They’re the ones we’ll work on until we die.”

“If you put up a ball, they’ll give you a little praise.”

“And he will give us another order.”

“Because we are just tools.”

“No one raises the status of a tool just because they found a useful tool.”

“Tools are tools forever.”

“A slave is a slave forever.”

“You’ve been in contact with humans for so long, don’t you know that?”

“Did you see it too? Faust-sama was the only one who sympathized with the enslaved elf.”

“He’s human, but he’s not human.”

“Because you’re from another world, you’re of a different breed than humans from the Pangea continent.”

“You are really stupid… Are you really an elf?”

“I think there should be a ceremony to recognize Tiffania as a non-elf.”

“agree.”

“agree.”

“This guy is nothing but a hindrance between us and Faust-sama.”

“Queen, I suggest that Tiffania be sentenced to [elf banishment].”

The last line was directly resident by Euphonia.

「Elf exile type」

Elves forgive most sins, but there is one mortal sin that is never overlooked.

It was a crime that directly or indirectly caused damage to the World Tree.

Elves who commit such crimes are officially certified as “not elves” and exiled.

I lost the map that could bring me to the coordinates, and I couldn’t receive the blessing of the World Tree.

Tiffania did not yet know how miserable that was.

Misha reacted with satisfaction with the decision the elves made on their own.

“Well. I knew it. Since everyone is saying that, as queen, I am going to sentence Tiffania to exile.”

“Wait a minute, my queen! Wait! to me! Give me a chance to talk!!”

“What is it?”

It was the first time she had heard the word banished by the elves, but Tiffania realized that she was facing a crisis through her experience in the actual battle and desperately sought the last chance.

“how… Is there no way to be forgiven somehow?! Is there no way for an exiled elf to be forgiven?!”

“All you have to do is ask for forgiveness from the World Tree and get a positive answer.”

“Then give the World Tree time to ask for forgiveness! I will continue to apologize for years and hundreds of years!”

“But in your case, you have done something wrong to the master, so you need to be forgiven by the master.”

“… Yes… ?”

Misha looked around at the elves and said.

“Come to think of it, they stayed at our coordinates for quite a while. It’s time to slowly go back. Our synchronized hearts are meant to never be forgotten even after returning to reality. The master descended. Now you can run wild to your heart’s content.”

At last, a declaration came from the mouth of the queen specifying the start of the war.

The cheers of the elves who had been waiting for a thousand years resounded.

Except for Tiffania, everyone was cheering.

Misha said to Tiffania. With a slightly mocking face.

“You want to apologize to the master once. Well, if Master forgives you, Misha will also tell the elves to forgive you.”

“Is that true? So, are you going to pretend that there was no deportation sentence?”

“Yes, yes, that is exactly what it is. I want you to try it. You have to get down to make money.”

“If Faust forgives you, everything will be resolved… Okay. But the queen… You seem to be grinning… Are you laughing at me now?”

“It’s an illusion~ Kikki.”

No, kick… You laughed openly… Though thinking, Tiffania swallowed her words without showing any sign of discomfort.

When Misha announced that the door to the coordinates would be closed for a while, the elves exchanged friendly greetings before parting ways.

“Where do you live?”

“I live in hiding in the ruins of Auren City. Because there are no humans these days.”

“Wow really~? I will definitely go there. Let’s meet and move together.”

“Anyone who lives near Al Nain? Faust-sama is over there, so don’t forget to go help right away!”

“Okay~”

Everyone seemed friendly. They chatted happily like friends or relatives they had known for a very long time, and like an outcast, Tiffania just stood there with a serious expression on her face until the door to the coordinates closed.

At least I wanted to talk to my mother, but Euphonia was among the group of souls who had already died and could not return to reality, so she didn’t even turn her face to Tiffania.

‘I have to be forgiven by Faust somehow…’ Otherwise, you will be bullied for the rest of your life. Who would have known that he would be abandoned by his compatriots? I can’t live my whole life like this Faust… You really have to close your eyes and do everything he asks you to do. must… You must be forgiven unconditionally. Otherwise, I’m finished.’

Misha desperately held back the burst of laughter and closed the door to the coordinates.

The fantasy world where the world tree exists disappeared and the tumultuous landscape of Alnine appeared again.

‘There! It’s Faust!’

Tiffania quickly found Faust with the eyes of an elf with over 20.0 eyesight, ran out and knelt in front of him as if sliding.

“Faust! Have I been being too arrogant all this time? I’m sorry, I apologize for everything! It’s my fault!! Will you please forgive me?!”
