Return(1)
magi.
Literally, a place full of demons and monsters was the perfect place to be called a hell that has arrived in the world.
Of course, in a place where not only ordinary people, but also experienced knights can’t step in-
-Keek!
-Keek!
“It kills the holy sword effect.”
“Because the holy sword in front of monsters is stronger than mosquito incense in front of mosquitoes.”
“It certainly looks like it.”
The two young men and women were comfortable moving their feet.
In fact, it was natural.
Hayes and Lily.
The strength of the two beings was definitely great, because they had strength that did not match their age.
But there was another where they could move comfortably.
holy sword.
It was because it exerted great power in chasing away the approaching monsters like mosquito incense that repels those black mosquitoes that radiate divine power.
“I didn’t know that even ogre monsters could be expelled.”
“It would make all the demons run away, but it’s like an ogre monster.”
“Well, that’s right.”
In the first place, the holy sword is a sword so powerful that even the demon lords are terrified.
If it were a normal monster, no matter how strong and powerful it was, he had no choice but to run away in front of the Holy Sword.
Of course, it was the same with demons.
Even their king, the Demon King, appears weak in front of the Holy Sword, and it would be strange that his subordinates, the Demons, were fine.
“Let’s go back quickly.”
“yes.”
With Lily’s grim expression on her face, Heize headed towards the elf village where Elena was waiting.

There is a saying that going into the bathroom and leaving the bathroom are different.
‘Ah, isn’t that what you use at times like this?’
Anyway.
It was different when I first entered and when I came out.
If the former moved through hard work, the latter was not comfortable and could easily get out of the way.
“It’s really comfortable.”
“Because it’s a holy sword.”
“So. That’s why the warriors carry holy swords. different dimension dimension.”
The effect of the holy sword was clear, as if it was not for nothing that demons and demons were unable to use their power in front of the holy sword.
The difference in the presence or absence of the Holy Sword was large enough to allow the demon to come out more than twice as quickly.
Thanks to this, we were able to get out of the magic scene quickly, and we headed straight to the mysterious forest.
bum bum-
“It’s been a few days, but something is different.”
“I know.”
Mysterious Forest.
It’s a place I’ve been through before entering the magical landscape, and it’s only been a few days since I saw it again.
Lily could not hide her joy as she looked around the mysterious forest with her twinkling eyes, whether she recognized it or not.
how far did you walk
“stop.”
We stopped walking accustomed to the sweet voice we heard from the trees.
“Fold it, Heize.”
“ah… … sorry.”
“No, the boundaries should be the same. Could you please guide me to the village?”
“Yes, come with me.”
The elf, who recognized that we were, handed an apology with a face full of regret, and then led us into the elf village.
We came here often, but once you leave the elf village, you can’t go back without the help of the elves, so we were rather happy with the elf’s border.
If we hadn’t met the elves, we would have had to wait for the elf to come to us for hours.
bum bum-
How far did you walk with the help of the elves?
“Im here.”
Leaving behind the elf’s simple arrival and returning to his work area to say our thanks.
We set foot in the elven village in a few days.
“Heize!”
“Elena?”
“Hey, it’s only been a few days!”
As soon as I stepped in, I knew how I knew it, so I looked at Elena who ran towards me and made a surprised face for a moment.
“Something has changed.”
“Yeah, have you gotten a little stronger?”
“right… … In addition? I thought I might be of some help now… … .”
“It’s still helpful enough.”
“lie.”
“Really.”
I burst into laughter at Elena’s grumbling that wasn’t a grudge.
Elena.
Her ability, inherited from the high elf blood, cannot be ignored, no matter how much I am.
Elena smiled and started boasting as if she was relieved by my words.
“I finally signed a contract with the Spirit King! One, but still!”
“… … what? Really?”
“yes!”
“… … That’s great.”
It’s surprising that he signed a contract with the highest level spirit before he turned 20, but now he signed a contract with the king of spirits.
Of course, it’s only one person, but considering Elena’s talent, it’s probably half the start.
It was obvious that he would sign a contract with the second and third Spirit Kings soon.
So the surprise I was feeling was huge.
in reality-
[Heize]
Age: 16
Body: dragon body
Strength: S+ (SSS)
Stamina: S- (SSS)
Agility: S- (SSS)
Intellect: E+ (C)
Mana: FFF (FFF)
Traits: Child Abandoned by Heaven (SSS), Weapon Skills (SS), Martial Arts (SS), Intellect Decrease [Constraint] (F), Mana Dissipation [Constraint] (FFF) Aldebaran’s Contract [Contract] (SSS) / Insight (?)
Skills: Destruction and Annihilation Three Volumes – One Volume Bankruptcy (S), Heize-style Boxing (A-), Heize-style Heavy Swordsmanship (A-), Heize-style Heavy Swordsmanship (B+), Spirit Skills (S)
‘… … The spirit skill level has risen. The water supply in front is gone.’
Elemental art has also undergone a change.
It was a very good change, not a bad change.
S.
Because my spirit skill finally reached S-class, and it meant that I could also summon the Spirit King.
of course-
‘I can’t stand it.’
Summoning the highest level spirits and fighting in a difficult situation, summoning the spirit king to battle was almost impossible.
But even though I could do it, the difference between not doing it and not doing it was clear, so I was satisfied.
“Now let’s go back.”
“ah… … .”
However, Elena’s reaction to my request to return was strange.
I knew you would be anxious to go back as soon as possible.
Elena didn’t seem to want to go back.
When I am puzzled by that look.
“Helena-sama has decided to become the village chief after me.”
“Eldea? What does that mean?”
Eldea.
I couldn’t help but tilt my head at her words, who could be said to be the village chief.
The village chief of the elf village.
It was because I couldn’t understand at all what it meant for Elena to take her place.
But Eldea said with a calm face.
“My position, that is, Elena-sama, is going to lead the elves.”
“… … Huh, do you think that makes sense now?”
The village chief of the elf village.
An elf village where there are not many elves, but not too few elves to live up to the word village.
Only those who rule there could be named village chief, and it was not yet a suitable position for young Elena.
Most of them are vastly older than Elena, but will they really follow Elena well?
But Eldea was adamant.
“Helena-sama is the lumber that will lead the village. I’m sure of that. That’s why I can’t back down.”
“… … I’m here to pick up Elena. I didn’t come here to make an elf village chief.”
At Eldea’s words of politeness and trying to persuade me, I also treated her with respect.
Eldea felt sorry for the nuance of drawing a line rather than an informal friendship, but she did not put it into words.
“If you want to make Elena the mayor, take him.”
“thank… … .”
“Only after passing me.”
“… … !”
“swimming… … Hey?”
Eldea with a surprised face.
Elena blushes in surprise.
Even though I received the gazes of these two women at the same time, I did not make any expression.
He just sent a cold gaze to Eldea with an expressionless face.
Seeing my determination, Lily stood next to me with a strange smile.
“Can I help too?”
“… … Yes, thank you.”
Lily.
I’m not sure if she’s an enemy or a colleague, though.
At least for now, it’s safe to call them colleagues.
So I nodded my head and agreed.
In an instant 2-1 situation, Eldea hesitated.
‘Can’t win.’
Heize alone might not know, but even a talented knight named Lily is by her side.
It’s worth doing with Elena’s help, but Elena will never aim for Heize.
finally-
“Elena-sama.”
“… … Sorry, Hayes. I will stay in the elven village.”
“Elena?”
He had no choice but to plead with Elena to get rid of Heize’s back.
And after making up her mind for a few days, Elena turned away from Heize’s back and headed to Eldea’s side.
Of course, there was no sign of fighting.
He just tells Heize of his decision.
“why?”
Heize asked the reason, looking at Elena who was out of her protection and turned to Eldea.
“I want to help Heize.”
“… … It’s still helpful enough.”
“No, I am not good now. But if you become the head of an elf village, it will be different. They will all obey my orders. Then I can help Hayes better.”
“that… … .”
I couldn’t deny it.
Helena, who became the mayor, and Helena, an academy student.
If you ask me which of the two is more valuable, of course the former.
However, if that happens, Elena will be burdened with an unreasonable burden of taking responsibility for a village at a young age.
He couldn’t tolerate that, so maybe Heize is trying to stop it now.
“I like Heize.”
“… … !”
“So I’m going to help Hayes. These are my thoughts, and Eldea’s thoughts are a decision I made without any fuss.”
“… … .”
But in front of Elena’s confident words, Heize had to let go of the handle of the holy sword.
decision made by the opponent.
Because I realized that whether it was right or wrong, I couldn’t change it.
Furthermore.
[Helena’s Traits: Passive (A+), New Breast (A) are deleted.]
‘… … Yes, this must be right.’
Seeing that even Elena’s negative traits were deleted, Heize had no choice but to nod her head.
“Come back whenever you are tired.”
“Of course. I’m on Heize’s side, and there’s only Heize.”
“… … I’ll contact you.”
“yes!”
It was really sad to see the tears welling up while smiling brightly, but now it was time to bear the cost of making the choice.
“Then I will go.”
“Don’t go with other women without me!”
“… … It can’t be.”
“Hey, yes!”
After throwing a joke and smiling bitterly at Elena, who makes the breakup into laughter.
“Let’s come back.”
“yes.”
He was on his way back to Ardian Academy.
He struggled to ignore the tears that flowed from Elena’s eyes, waving her hands hard behind her back.
“… … The weather is very nice.”
It was unbelievable that it was the day we broke up, and the swear words soared, but he did not turn away.
So I broke up with Elena for a while.
It could not be denied that it was a short but intense farewell, but the step forward never stopped.
