52. Daniel McClain

Yggdrasil’s watchman, Eris.

I couldn’t quite figure out why she was helping me here.

I wondered if she had visited Elgrid at this time, or if she remembered me.

There were many words I wanted to pour out at her right away, but I forced myself to swallow them.

Now that we’ve met, we have no intention of parting right away, so we had to deal with the monster that was interfering with us first.

Believing in her magic to deal with bugs, I ignored all the bugs that attacked me and started chasing after Abbiel.

“go away! I mean get out of here!”

Abiel threw away his pride and literally flattened his body like a worm and started crawling on the floor, showing tremendous speed like a fish in water.

‘It’s hard to catch up when it comes out like that.’

I don’t know if there was a weapon other than the sword, but there was no way to deal with it now. In the end, I wondered if I had to bite my lip and throw the sword at least.

The wind is gentle and my legs feel light.

It moved quickly as if it wasn’t my leg, and I was surprised to see a tremendous amount of speed emanating from it, but it wasn’t unfamiliar.

Eris’ secondary magic.

When I sneakily checked behind me, Eris glanced in my direction, nodded slightly, and continued sweeping away the insects without saying anything.

‘It’s been great ever since.’

While sweeping away bugs with a mad wind, she casts magic on me with double casting.

I feel strangely comfortable at the thought of being the woman I knew. He tried to ignore the slightly raised lips and narrowed the distance with Abiel.

“Hey, you crazy bastard! Turn it off!”

The guy who started shooting secretions at random.

It looked dirty and dangerous at first glance, so I frowned and avoided it, but the ground that the secretions touched melted.

“nastily.”

“Shut up!”

In the end, the guy who arrived at the end of the academy crawled and started climbing the wall without any hesitation.

quack.

“aaah!”

Leaping to him as it is, he imprints a sword on his back.

He struggles to escape and tries desperately, but he is already pinned to the wall like a skewer.

Seeing that, I wanted to smirk without even realizing it.

“You wanted to live like this, so why did you curse at the child for being ugly and disgusting while struggling?”

“Everything, shut up!”

Until now, you pretended to be grand as if you were the owner of some military power, but now look at the way you fight.

In the end, they pretend to be noble while talking about ancient demon beasts, but they are essentially demon beasts, and they are just monster puppies who eat other monsters alive in order to survive.

Of course, not all monsters are like that, and sometimes there are those who truly know honor beyond the limits of their species.

“You are the king of bugs, so don’t struggle ugly and die cleanly. Like you said to Adrina.”

What made you pretend to be so noble because your appearance and Adrina’s appearance are different now?

But the guy was screaming out loud.

“I am different! That’s different! How do you compare me, who has lived for eons and became the king of insects, and a witch who has only lived for a few years!”

“It’s not different. Because you are just a bug.”

I slowly began to apply force to the sword.

“Come on, wait! please! please! Save me…!”

Quad Duck!

The sword that had been lodged in his stomach jumped straight up, and it cut cleanly from his upper body to his head.

Disgusting viscera pouring out and his corpse falling to the floor with a thud.

“Don’t be too embarrassed. You were going to die anyway.”

Even in my previous life, I am Abbiel, who had already lost his life when I met the ancient demons in the forest of the Demon Realm.

It’s not clear whether he lost his life here or in the forest of the Demon Realm, but since he’s going to die anyway, it won’t be a big problem.

When I glanced up at the sky, the bugs that had lost their king started attacking people randomly in confusion.

It didn’t seem like it was my turn now.

“Ugh, but I’m not sitting in a high seat for nothing.”

I could already see the dean and professors evacuating all the people and trapping the bugs with magic while Eris and I were looking at them.

“Certainly, magic is convenient.”

It was amazing to see the bugs being sucked into magic and disappearing as if they were attracted to any magnet.

It would be hard even if it took me all day to kill him.

While watching the worms in the sky disappear in a daze in front of Abiel’s corpse, a woman with pointed ears walks by.

She looked at Abiel, who had been cut in half and turned into a piece of meat behind me, and smiled slightly.

“You sure handled it.”

“……”

sweet voice.

it’s really her

Indeed, Eris was standing in front of me and smiling.

I rubbed my eyes, but she was definitely standing in front of me, and the smell of the thickly slashed forest tickled my nostrils naturally.

Could it be that she came back with me too?

So the hope that he had come to me gradually began to bloom.

“I came looking for you.”

Eris took my hand and smiled softly.

“Ahhh……”

My heart was suffocated.

I don’t usually shed tears, but for now, it seems like it’s going to pop out, so I tried to wipe my eyes with my hands.

by any chance.

It really seemed like the countless nights I hoped would return just in case she did like me were paying off.

I almost got a little excited because I was looking forward to the many days that unfolded for us in the future.

“You who have been chosen by Helios, the sun god.”

If it wasn’t for her backstory.

“……What?”

“I came to warn you and how to use the great power you have. With my own two eyes, I watched you as you rushed towards the mighty Witchbeast alone while everyone else was running away.”

no, what is he talking about?

“You righteous one. I think I know why Helios chose you. There are still people like you among humans.”

“……”

“Your heroism, carrying the heaviest load in the darkest places despite the strong power and the protection of the sun god, was captured by that watchman Eris today. I will never forget it.”

“No, wait.”

Realizing that I was misunderstanding something, I quickly shook off her hands that were holding mine.

“Helios? I’m sorry, but I’ve never been chosen for anything like that.”

“Yes? However……”

She tilted her head and looked intently at me, then gradually changed into a strange expression and made a strange sound, “Uh-huh?”

“what? Now hold on! Didn’t you have a pattern on the back of your hand or chest? Just aww! As it shines…”

“Don’t you have anything like that?”

Was he so stupid?

In front of me, he only showed his graceful appearance, so this kind of appearance was unfamiliar to me, so I laughed for no reason.

“Gee, is it real? Sorry. No, but there’s no way you can misunderstand that?”

Eris tilted her head and crossed her arms. The habit of worrying seems to have been passed on since then.

“……”

Seeing her like that, this time I smiled with a hint of bitterness.

Since she is an elf, her appearance has not changed much even compared to her 10 years later in my memory. If I had to ask, would your hair be a little shorter than that?

[If so.]

It seems that the image of her embarrassingly asking me from the depths of the dark forest overlaps for nothing.

[If everyone died like this and only the two of us survived, would you marry me?]

Even though the surroundings were dark, I could see her face as red as if it was going to burst at any moment.

[No, if humans went extinct and elves went extinct, you’re the only one left after all.]

Thinking of her coldness when we first met, I never imagined that it would lead to a relationship like this.

At that time, he had come to me as a watchman to obtain herbs for the plague that was spreading among the elves.

It could be seen that we met through work, and we didn’t even talk that much in the early days.

[We will be the beginning of a new humanity. I never thought the day would come when half-elves ruled the world.]

Due to the racial characteristics of elves, they are infinitely kind to their own people, but they have a strong tendency to reject other races excessively.

“Mi, I’m sorry. You misunderstood something.”

I looked at her indifferently as she bowed her head while apologizing to me, then slowly reached out my hand for a handshake.

[Come to think of it, what is your name? Until now, it was simply called Sherpa.]

“Daniel MacLean.”

“Yes?”

I’m really sorry I can’t give you an answer now.

“My name is Daniel MacLean.”

For still being alive,

Thank you so much.
