131 – Truth (5)

“Who are you?”

When I got back to town, a stranger was waiting for me.

It’s definitely the first time I’ve seen it, but for some reason I’m used to it.

“Ah. It’s too late to introduce yourself.”

The woman made eye contact with a confident smile.

Although she is a woman, she is almost the same height as me.

An outspoken tone and an arrogant attitude.

A woman with long red hair and a greatsword in her hand.

“I am Catalina. It is also called the Lion of the South.”

Catalina.

The name was unfamiliar, but the tinnitus was familiar.

Lion of the South. A title given to the protagonist’s rival.

I remember that the man with the alias of the Lion of the South was a man named Max.

For some reason, my name and gender have changed.

“Nice to meet you.”

As I held her hand, I felt a strong grip.

Are you trying to show off your strength on purpose?

After accepting her well, he let go of her hand and she moved her gaze to her side.

“Come on. Didn’t she say Erina?”

Likewise, she held out her hand to Erina.

“…”

Of course, there was no way he would accept a handshake.

Then Catalina laughed and grumbled.

“There is no answer here either. Why are so many people shy?”

Then a male voice followed like a warrior.

“Sister. They say you can’t fight all over the first time.”

“Be quiet. Malcolm.”

At Catalina’s words, her man backed away.

‘This person remains the same.’

Did you say Malcolm? It is a face in memory.

Even in the 1st playthrough, I always had a role to follow my rivals and catch up with them.

Looking at it now, it looks the same as the first playthrough.

“Did you say Catalina?”

“Yes.”

Although they are of different genders, they were similar to the rivals I remember.

“What did you come for?”

“It’s troublesome to explain twice.”

Then Malcolm, who had been watching from her side, interrupted.

“We have come to help at Julia’s request.”

His words brought back memories of the past.

An adventurer’s league founded by Yulia.

I heard that she is negotiating with another colleague besides us.

At that time, did she say that the name she had heard was Catalina?

‘I kept forgetting.’

Anyway, it’s good to have a reliable colleague on board.

Although he is a rival, he is a person who takes the kingdom’s side until the end.

Although the connection was cut in the first round, the story is different now.

If they join the Adventurers’ League, wouldn’t it be like seeing each other often?

“First, I heard about the situation from Celica-sama.”

“You must also know that you have been to the Elven Village.”

“Yes. Could you share the situation with us too?”

Unlike before, Malcolm conveyed her words with clear pronunciation.

Contrary to Catalina, polite and respectful attitude.

Since these two are opposites, are they making up for each other’s shortcomings?

“I have someone to introduce.”

I gestured to Tyria, who was standing in the hallway.

As she was pulling her robe over, she took off her hood, revealing her golden hair.

At the same time, Celica’s eyes widened.

“Elf… !?”

Tyria nodded her head awkwardly.

Of course, Celica wasn’t the only one surprised.

Everyone except me and Erina reacted in surprise.

Among them, Catalina made the most of her fuss.

“I heard you went to the elven village. You even seduced one person!”

“I wasn’t flirting, I was asking for help.”

She hastily corrected her words.

It would be difficult if misunderstandings sprouted while Erina and Kayla were listening.

Fortunately, Kayla just quietly watches Tyria.

There was no reaction.

That’s how her eyes were focused on Tyria.

“Wow…”

Malcolm exclaimed, unable to keep her mouth shut.

Beautiful blonde hair and clear white skin.

Long ears and beautiful appearance that humans cannot have.

Even a mysterious atmosphere that humans cannot feel.

Even just looking at them, they radiated a charm that seemed to attract them.

Malcolm looked at Tyria, enchanted by her.

Meanwhile,

“Ahh… ?!”

I fell to the floor with a thump.

“When you snow quickly. You perverted child.”

Catalina punched Malcolm in the head with Finjan.

Malcolm staggers while holding her head.

She grumbled, barely raising her body.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen an elf…”

While the two are bickering.

The first person to approach Tyria was Celica.

“Umm…”

She’s approaching, but she doesn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, Tyria, who noticed, spoke her words first.

“The nun I met briefly the other day. Right?”

“Ah, yes…!”

“My name is Tyria. Maybe your name… ?”

“My name is Celica…!”

“Nice to meet you. Please take good care of me.”

When I handed her hand with a smile, Celica carefully shook it.

Celica waved her hand with her face blushing.

When I saw the two of them, I naturally remembered the first meeting in the first episode.

[Hello. My name is Tyria.]

[Yes, four… ! My name is Celica and I’m from Helen Village…!]

The atmosphere is not much different from now.

In the text, it came out that they had a good impression of each other.

I hoped for a good relationship this time as well.

However, unlike Celica, there were people who avoided Tyria.

“…Lord.”

Kayla quietly whispered next to me.

She hid behind her and she grabbed my forearm.

Because she already has bad memories of the elves.

Looking at Tyria, I had no choice but to be wary of her.

Although she had already said that she would take one of the elves as her ally.

Of course, her wariness did not disappear.

“Kayla. Tyria is a good person.”

“Yes. But…”

After taking a moment to catch her breath, Kayla continued.

“I’ve seen that elf before.”

“Really…?”

“Tyria. Aren’t you the youngest daughter of the village chief?”

She was a little taken aback by her words.

As much as Tyria plays the role of the leader of the elven village.

He seems to remember her face.

But she doesn’t seem to have a very good impression.

“We never talked to each other. But…”

“…”

“Even when they saw me being persecuted, they just completely ignored it.”

Very little, but resentment was hidden.

Is it because it reminds me of old memories?

Meanwhile, Tyria approached Kayla.

“Ah, are you the wizard from last time?”

Kayla nodded slowly.

Unlike a moment ago, he seemed to be completely closed.

“Nice to meet you. Could you please tell me your name?”

“…Kayla.”

Tyria’s eyes shook slightly at her dark voice.

An attitude that makes oneself uncomfortable. It seems that he found out right away.

“Nice to meet you. What a beautiful name.”

Kyla shook her hand as he handed her over with her compliments.

Before it gets awkward, I went first.

“I’m sorry. Kayla is shy.”

“Ah. Are you okay!”

Tyria smiled brightly as if it didn’t matter.

No, she was forced to smile.

You must have been lost in doubt.

Why are you wary of yourself? And what are you trying to avoid?

We made a bad first impression with each other.

‘The two of us should be close.’

As much as Kayla wanted to become friends with her other colleagues.

Although she wasn’t very sociable, she wasn’t as abnormal as Erina.

That’s why I wanted to forget the memories of the past and build friendships.

Although it seems like it still needs some time.

“Anyway, I’ll explain why I brought Tyria.”

After that, I relayed the situation to her colleagues and Catalina’s party.

What happened in the elven village from the time Lucas betrayed you.

It was only after I told them everything that my colleagues were able to grasp the situation.

“Did you bring it to negotiate with the kingdom?”

“Yes. And to convince the Templars and Guards.”

Malcolm calmly sorted things out.

A situation where you have to face the Demon King’s Army right away.

The current troops are the knights and guards stationed in the town of Tarn.

And it was just us and Catalina’s party.

“You say you have to fight the demon king right away…?”

Celica held her staff in a fearful voice.

Although she had already encountered the demon king.

It was the first time that a war had been waged in earnest like now.

On the other hand, there were also people who were very excited.

“Okay! As soon as we arrive, we will start fighting!”

“Sister. But now…”

“Malcolm. It’s a problem because you’re so serious. Didn’t you come here with the determination to fight the demon king anyway?”

Before the serious air currents continued, Catalina burst into a hearty laugh.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere that was about to subside has been reversed.

“If it were the main army of the Demon King’s army, the number of troops would be considerable…”

“Rather good. I can monopolize the feat!”

Do you not even think about defeat?

It was reckless, but it was rather the attitude I wanted.

Celica calmed down in her own way at her remarks.

“That’s right. Because one day I had to fight the demon king’s army.”

“Yes. Nun lady. Take this opportunity to build up your courage.”

So are the others.

I had no intention of retreating against the Demon King’s army.

“Serica. How did the cooperation of the Knights go?”

“No reply yet.”

“It will take at least a week.”

I did it just in case.

Just like the last time, it seemed difficult to get help.

A situation where you have to face the demon army with only the troops stationed in Tarun Village.

Still, I didn’t think about losing at all.

“Erina. Will you be okay?”

“Don’t worry.”

“Kayla.”

“I am ready too.”

As long as the two of them are by my side, there’s no way I’ll be defeated by the demon lord’s army.
