67 – 67 – No more.
” Ah♡ “
Flora collapsed in my arms.
He likes rubbing his face against my chest.
It probably isn’t the time to be like this…
” Flora!! “
“ Wow.. ”
When Reina got angry and shouted, Flora fell from my arms with a sad sound.
By the way.
” Sister?.. “
Raina also fell down in my arms and didn’t get up.
Flora looked at her sister with an expression of betrayal.
” Huh! Flora, don’t misunderstand because I got tangled up and couldn’t wake up right away! “
Reina cleared her throat and, contrary to her own words, slowly raised her body.
” Sister! So shameless!! “
“I said no!! “
Why are they like this? It seems like they have stopped now.
To the extent that the furniture in the house falls over and becomes a mess.
A big earthquake occurred, but there was no tension at all.
“ Phew… Shouldn’t we figure out what’s going on first? ”
I sighed and spoke to the bickering sisters.
” Yes. Now is not the time to be like this! “
” Because my sister speaks and acts differently!.. Huh? “
Flora got angry at Raina and tried to yell at her.
She suddenly stopped and started sniffing.
Is there a smell of something?
I also took a deep breath.
I smelled the surrounding air.
” This… The smell of burning!? “
It doesn’t seem to be a smell coming from inside the house.
This smell…
” It’s the smell of burning trees in the forest! “
Bam!!!
Raina ran out of the house screaming.
Flora and I followed right away.
Going outside.
I could see the forest burning.
The wooden hut where the elf sisters live.
Because it was on a hill, it was even far away in the forest.
I could clearly see it burning.
” What happened, sister!? “
” I don’t know!..”
We had no choice but to panic due to the sudden earthquake and the fire that broke out in the forest.
Fortunately, the fire did not spread to the hill we were on, but it was not a good situation because smoke was rising.
” Isn’t this dangerous here too? “
That’s why I asked the sisters to recommend evacuation.
But Reina shook her head and spoke to me.
” It’s my first time seeing a fire this big, so I’m embarrassed, but it’s okay. “
“ Yes? What do you mean it’s okay when the forest is burning like this? ”
“ Thanks to the World Tree’s protection, the fire will soon go out! ”
” World tree? “
” Yes! If it’s the World Tree’s blessings that can be clearly seen from afar… Huh? “
Reina pointed with her hand at a huge tree that was clearly visible from afar.
She tried to brag to me, but she froze.
Because.
“Why even the World Tree!? ”
Because even the giant tree they called the World Tree was burning.
.
.
.
As soon as I saw that the World Tree was burning.
The elf sisters ran straight towards the place where the World Tree was located.
And.
I also followed in their footsteps.
I saw a huge tree called the Burning World Tree.
I didn’t know why, but it was because my chest was congested.
It wasn’t the pain I felt because my body was in pain.
This feeling of being heavy and stuffy in the chest.
When precious people are sacrificed in a nightmare.
It was very similar to the sensation I felt.
As if to prove that we are a forest species.
The running speed of the elf sisters was quite fast.
That’s why.
They stopped me from following them.
” Human! Don’t chase after me too much and stay home! “
” That’s right, Edward! It’s hard on a man’s body! “
But.
” Human? It’s really faster than it looks? “
“ Oh my, it’s amazing! Edward! ”
At a speed that even I can’t believe.
Not falling behind their speed at all.
I am following along without any problems.
‘What is it?..’
Honestly, when they suddenly ran out.
I was worried about whether I would be able to keep up.
I tried running first, but if I speed up now.
I thought I could turn things around.
It was so light that I thought it was really my body.
It happened not long ago, and it may have been because of the smoke from the fire.
It would have been right to run while having difficulty breathing.
I followed them without any trouble.
I was able to arrive at my destination, the World Tree.
Even if you raise your head as high as possible.
A huge tree so tall that you can’t see the end.
On the branches and leaves of the World Tree.
There was a red flame and it was burning brightly.
” I can’t believe the World Tree is really on fire! “
” World Tree! We are here! “
It would be too late to start extinguishing the fire right away, but the elf sisters just looked at the burning World Tree and shouted.
Because they weren’t doing anything, I asked them.
” Shouldn’t we just leave it like this? “Are there any lakes or rivers nearby?”
If it was because of panic, I looked around to see if I could step forward in their place.
Visibility in the surrounding area was blocked by flames and smoke from the fire.
” It’s not like I’m doing nothing on purpose! That’s because it makes no sense! “
This situation makes no sense.
Well, from the perspective of those who call themselves forest keepers, the forest is burning.
It must be an unbelievable situation as the World Tree is on fire.
But that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything.
That world tree must not be allowed to burn.
Is it because I inhaled the smoke from the fire?
I don’t know why.
Every time the huge tree in front of me burns down.
Because my heart was becoming increasingly frustrated.
Even though I couldn’t think of a suitable method.
I ran towards the World Tree.
” Stop humans! The World Tree can put out a fire of this magnitude on its own! No, the World Tree’s body shouldn’t be on fire in the first place! “
“ And the World Tree is not answering! So we’re taking a look to find out what’s causing it! ”
“ You can turn it off on your own.. Is that the answer? Is communication really possible? ”
I asked them with an expression of disbelief.
Actually, what they say is. I know because I read books when I was studying.
The World Tree is an entity that elves worship, considering it like a god and parent.
It is said that the World Tree gives protection to the elves and takes care of the forest.
But.
I couldn’t believe the huge tree called the World Tree in front of me because it was just on fire.
So, I was just about to go right in front of the World Tree.
” It would be impossible because of the luggage. “
I heard a woman’s voice.
There was a sense of intimidation in the voice.
The moment that sound enters my ears.
“ Ugh!? ”
Because I immediately felt a headache.
A sound came out without me realizing it.
Trudge… Trudge…
An elf woman wearing very luxurious clothing.
Behind the burning World Tree.
She was slowly appearing and walking out.
“Who are you! Did you do this to the World Tree!? “
” Elf?.. No, it’s different! Who the hell are you!? “
Even though the elf sisters are elves like themselves.
She did not hide her hostility toward her.
There must be other elves staying in the village nearby.
Looking at the sisters’ attitude toward each other, it seems like this is the first meeting.
She didn’t seem to be an elf in this forest.
” I was shocked when the gate suddenly opened in front of me, but I was told that I could see the forest keeper, so I came to believe it…”
Forest keeper.
If you are a forest keeper.
” A forest keeper? “
“ We are the forest keepers! ”
It must be the elf sisters who are answering right now.
Why are you not calling them?
Forest keeper!
From Noble mtl dot com
Why does it sound like it’s calling me?
No, her voice right now is the same as the voice ringing in my head?
Jikkeun.
Let’s try to think.
An even bigger headache came.
When she saw the sisters calling themselves forest keepers, she snorted and said,
” You guys? Under! These four seemingly insignificant guys are forest keepers? “
“ What!? ”
She ignored Reina, who was upset, looked at me holding her head, and continued speaking.
” These four bitches are forest keepers who take in a disgusting male human as a pet..”
“ Edward is not a pet! ”
I am a pet?
She is not the elf of this world that I know.
She spoke sarcastically, like an arrogant elf from another world.
‘ An arrogant elf from another world?.. ’
Forest keeper!! Didn’t Jim tell me!?
Tough! Strong!
Ah. The voice ringing in my head became more and more clear.
Just like that, the headaches were getting stronger and stronger.
‘ No way, this voice… ’
Suddenly, not only was there a voice in my head.
Numerous scenes began to come to mind.
Inside my confused ears.
I could hear her arguing with her elf sisters.
“ Just because male humans are not pets, does that mean you guys are anything? ”
“ Well, it’s not like that!! ”
But what are they saying?
I couldn’t hear properly.
Because of the voices that keep echoing in my head and the scenes that are constantly played.
.
.
.
Forest keeper!
The elf queen opened her arms and tried to embrace him.
Queen, I am sorry.
But he stepped behind her, avoiding her embrace.
Forest keeper! Is it natural that we worship the World Tree?
You are too much! Doesn’t the World Tree exist only if we elves exist!?
Underneath the huge tree, the queen shouted to the elf man who rejected her.
Queen, it is true that I love and protect the World Tree more than anyone else.
I do not dare to refuse the Queen for that reason. I am..
The queen misunderstood the man, so she tried to explain to correct him.
What!? So does that mean there is another bitch!
She did not listen to his story until the end and became even more furious.
Oh, no! I was suddenly taken aback by the queen’s confession, so I took some time to think…
If that’s not rejection, then something else! How dare you confess Jim twice! What kind of year is this!? The forest keeper who dared to choose Jim as his companion!!
No, queen, I really am!!
He kept trying to explain.
It’s noisy! Unless you tell me who you are!!
The queen did not listen at all, and she became very angry and stretched out her hand to the World Tree.
Then.
Rurrrrrrrrrrr..
The huge tree, the World Tree, began to burn.
Elves are a race that loves the forest.
Because they were more reluctant than anyone else to damage the forest.
Avoiding anything related to fire as much as possible and using flame magic.
This is truly a very rare case.
But the queen of the elves of this world.
She doesn’t just use that rare fire magic.
She was a flare master who was well versed in flames.
The flames she created were burning the World Tree at high speed.
Ah! No! The world tree!!
The forest keeper who saw this was astonished and screamed.
Forest keeper… You have a face that looks like your loved one is injured!
I saw his despairing expression as he looked at the burning World Tree.
The queen’s face became even more distorted.
Queen! Please put out the flames…
He tried to hurry and ask the queen to take away the flame.
Ahhh!!
She had no choice but to scream because her own body caught fire and burned.
How dare you refuse the burden? I’ll ride you along with the world tree and forest you love!
Quaaaaa!!
That’s right, forest keeper! Why are you refusing to listen to my confession, which is no different from my command? I am because of you!!
The queen complained to the forest keeper, but she probably didn’t hear him because he was burning.
But the queen seems like it doesn’t matter anymore.
Kyahahaha!!
He only let out a laugh full of madness.
Just like that, the forest keeper and the world tree were reduced to ashes.
Ah. I remembered.
What a fucking bitch.
…..
I will not avoid it anymore.
I won’t be considerate anymore.
Now it is my turn.
Fucking bitches.
I will kill them all.
