Episode 52. The elf meets the healer. (Sujeong)
52 episodes. The elf meets the healer.
Her pink hair that looks like delicious cotton candy fluttered. Shin Seo-yeon, who put her sword in Ent, looked back with a bewildered expression.
“You guys will never forgive me!!”
A woman who looks like an elf picks up the bow she dropped and aims at us. The suspicion that something was wrong turned into certainty.
“Everyone, stand behind me.”
“Seojun, be careful.”
Kang Soo-hyuk shouted loudly and raised his shield. Yoo Chae-eun pulls her bow and blocks in front of me.
A poor elf who sheds tears while pointing his bow at us, us confronting her. It was kind of a subtle confrontation. Maybe it’s a misunderstanding.
“Wait.”
“Healer, it’s dangerous.”
I completely ignored Kang Soo-hyuk’s words and stepped forward. The closer he got to the fallen ent, the more the elf frowned.
He had stopped crying and was in a threatening posture. He was on the verge of shooting me at any moment while pulling the bowstring.
“Seojun, it’s too dangerous.”
Yoo Chae-eun’s voice is heard from behind. But more than that, the tree monster in front of him was more concerned.

Not dead yet
Treant’s stems trembled helplessly. barely alive Not yet.
“cure!”
The green light from my fingertips permeated the auburn trunk of the tree beast. how many seconds have passed An ent that spit out the sword that was stuck in it with a natural gurgling sound.
“what? What?!”
The pink-haired elf shouted with a shocked expression on her face. that would be surprising Even if I think about it, my healing skill is a scam.
Ent, who was on the verge of dying, jumped up. Twist the branches lightly. It looked like he was completely healthy. Maybe even more than when I first saw it.
“… Oh my gosh. Nonsense.”
Leaving behind the elf woman who kept muttering, I went back to the members. They looked equally confused.
“Isn’t this supposed to make sense? No matter how many times I hear it, it sounds like Korean.”
Of course, that elf probably doesn’t speak Korean well. Being able to communicate is an intelligence. Maybe that elf is the boss of this dungeon.
However, the boss seems to lack something. That in the beginning, the strangely desperate expression on his face as well.
Even now, when you look at me fiercely with your mouth open. Yoo Chae-eun approached and spoke to the elf.
“excuse me?”
But the elf’s gaze was only on me. To be more precise, my hand that was emitting a green light.
How long have you been looking at my hand? It seems a little disappointing. She came to her senses and bowed her back 90 degrees and shouted loudly.
“Sorry for being rude. Well, there must have been a small misunderstanding.”
It was a sweet voice, but it was a trembling voice. The elf lightly chews her thick lips with her teeth and speaks in a pleading tone.
“If it’s okay, can you help me or my village? If you come even for a moment, I will repay you somehow.”
If you refuse, even your knees will be cut off. The tree monster also seemed to be making a request with its branches hanging down.
“What should I do?”
Yoo Chae-eun asks me for my opinion. It’s an expression of willingness to follow whatever I choose.
I saw a pale pink-haired elf. She is a more beautiful woman than the ‘Siren’ I’ve seen before. It wasn’t for nothing that I was playing ‘elf’ in the fantasy genre.
“ha. So let’s go first shall we? If I stay here, I don’t think I’ll be able to find a way to clear it.”
“That’s a good idea. Hiller.”
Kang Soo-hyuk answered with a loud voice. Yoo Chae-eun also nodded and agreed.
However, Shin Seo-yeon has an unwilling expression. Actually, there is no better option.
Perhaps she was noticing the last blow of the Treant. We began to enter the forest under the guidance of the pink-haired elf.
⁕⁕⁕
“Here. Please call me ‘Lina’. that. Hey, what can I call you?”
The pink-haired elf, Lina, looked at me and asked. But my mind was more immersed in the scenery in front of her than in her words.
Each tree was their home and home. The elves standing on the dirt road with a local atmosphere like a medieval village were like a scene from a fantasy illustration.
“We are Hunters. I came in to clear this dungeon. I hope there is such a place My name is… .”
When Yoo Chae-eun started introducing himself as the representative of the members, Kang Soo-hyuk and Shin Seo-yeon finished their greetings respectively. But Lina’s gaze seemed to only want my answer.
“My name is Seojun Lee. Our members have already introduced, so I have nothing more to say.”
“That’s right. This is Seojun Lee.”
Lina nodded slowly. I pointed to a hut made of large leaves up there.
“But what are you doing there?”
Did I ask out of curiosity? Lina’s expression quickly deteriorated.
“It’s a treatment center. It was on the way to get herbs for the wounded.”
“Then what do you want me to ask you… .”
They’re asking for treatment. Somehow, he seemed to be surprised by his healing skills.
“yes. Right. How can I not?”
An elf with tears in her eyes in case she refuses. Even if he frowned, he had the momentum to cut his knees and hit his head at any moment.
“Seojun, are you okay?”
Yoo Chae-eun gave me a suspicious look. It means you can definitely trust them.
“I don’t think defeating them is a clear condition. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to get any information.”
If you help me, I will even pay off my debt. Elves are often said to love nature. I believe that I will not shut my mouth completely pretending not to know.
if so.
I’ll have to go and think about it then. That’s not going to be a result they’re happy with.
We entered a hut made of leaves with Lina’s guidance. As she said, the treatment center was right. Many elves lay wounded.
“Reena?! Are they human?!”
“Ari, I’ll explain later. Seojun Lee, please!!”
As if Lina was in a hurry, Arira stopped the blonde-haired elf. On the wounds of the wounded are plants that appear to be medicinal herbs. Painful moans can be heard everywhere.
“cure. cure. cure.”
Returning east, west, north, south, and unleashing skills. A green light bursts out of the palm of your hand, ‘grasping’.
Already, Lina was in a prayer position with her hands together. The blonde-haired elf Ahri also dropped the herb she was holding in surprise.
“… uh?! no more pain On the contrary, my condition has improved.”
“It’s warm. Are my legs moving? It must have been cut.”
“This is a miracle. Could it be the World Tree?!”
Even the scars have completely disappeared, the elves muttered in amazement. They looked in the direction the light had flown. Of course, I was standing at the end.
“Seojun Lee, thank you so much!!”
First of all, Lina thanked me. Then Ari, who was standing blankly, bowed his back and thanked him.
“thank you. thank you How to thank you. Thank you very much.”
I glanced at the elves who had finished their treatment. really great beauty Not only the female elves, but also the male elves were proud of their appearance.
Saying “thank you” is almost like getting a scab on your ear. As I was getting tired of it, Yoo Chae-eun tapped my shoulder with her finger. I looked at Lina and spoke to her.
“Hmmmm. I want to stop saying thanks and get information slowly.”
“yes. Of course. I’ll tell you everything we know, no.”
Long leaf-like elf ears perked up. Her pink hair fluttered and her eyes gleamed brightly.

The place where Lina took us was a huge tree. The thick trunk of the tree had a door like a porch. It was a very fantasy tree house.
A middle-aged, platinum-haired, elf man who introduced himself as ‘Bern’ welcomed us.
It was difficult to estimate the age of the ‘elder’ of this village because of the elf’s long-lasting youthful nature. It felt like a village chief.
“… It’s the power of healing. It’s hard to believe.”
“Uncle, is it true?! You can go to the hospital and check it out now.”
When Lina shouted out loud, Bern’s eyes fluttered slightly. We helped by putting our tea on the table with Ariga herbs.
“Father, I saw it with my own eyes. Healing, the unique power of the World Tree, we saw the soft green light with our own eyes. All of our people saw the miracle of that time.”
I was suddenly intrigued. They look similar to elves, but aren’t we a completely different race? But we are talking naturally like this. They’re not monsters either.
“Are there no humans here?”
“It used to exist. However, from a certain moment, the world in which humans lived was divided. After that, dungeons began to appear in this world we lived in.”
It was the first information I heard. What is it that feels somewhat similar to the position of us and mankind? He calmly listened to Bern.
“The battle with the monsters continued for a long time. But recently, the elves were injured a lot by the battle with the ogres… .”
“Ogre, are you talking?”
Kang Soo-hyuk took a sip of tea and spoke out. I’m predicting here. The probability that the ogre was the boss was quite high.
It is known to be difficult to deal with. But if it’s only one, you’ll be able to catch it with a splash of firepower.
“If it was just one, I would have done something. Three! At least if it wasn’t for the battles with the previous orcs. big black.”
Verne wiped away tears and slammed the table down with her hand. I flinched at the louder than I expected.
“Even recently, the power of the World Tree has weakened. Now I can’t even receive the power of healing… .”
Bern let out a groan as if sadly. Ari shook her head and stood up. Often, the word ‘world tree’ is probably the most precious thing to the elves.
Is it because the ‘healing’ skill I use and the ability of the ‘world tree’ are similar to each other?
“Anyway, you are the benefactors of this town. The darkened forest is really dangerous. I will tell you where my daughter Ari will be staying, so let me rest there first.”
“thank you.”
I thought I’d ask, ‘Can you get rid of the ogre?’ But it wasn’t. But in the end, we will have to step forward to clear it.
let’s think good Still, thanks to the help of the elves, there is no homelessness in the forest. After we broke up with Bern, we went into a place to stay for the night under Ari’s guidance.
“Actually, my brother was also kidnapped by the orcs in the past. That’s why my father gets outraged when he talks about orcs. Dinner is being made by Lina, so I’ll give it to you when it’s done. Do you like vegetable soup?”
like that I couldn’t bring myself to comfort her at her sad story. The orc chieftain’s greedy eyes replayed in his mind.
And can you hide the food in the position of getting it?
“may I? thank you so much.”
“no! Eun-in and her colleagues, of course.”
Ari left with a charming smile. As she left her seat, a sigh was heard behind her back.
“The boss is probably an ogre.”
“… I think so.”
When Kang Soo-hyuk spoke up, Shin Seo-yeon nodded. Yoo Chae-eun, who was still, organized her backpack and spoke.
“Something elf, I don’t like it.”
“Do you feel anything?”
Without realizing it, I grabbed her arm and asked. I’ve seen it in the mass media. Elves have often come out in a setting that is kind and loves nature. However, there are also comics and novels that make fun of people by looking at them as insignificant.
If so, you shouldn’t relax here. Maybe because they are ‘enemy’.
“… It’s not that it’s suspicious to be too friendly with Seo Joon.”
Yoo Chae-eun groaned as her face turned red. It’s cute though. No, then look at me and tell me what to say.
“Fortunately, the bad guy, no. They are invisible to the elves.”
Kang Soo-hyuk glanced at me and said. I nodded.
I looked inside the tree house. It was the tree itself, whose roots had dug into the floor. As long as they don’t get pulled out, there doesn’t seem to be any concern about them falling apart.
The other members’ eyes gleam with curiosity. A completely new wood-style interior. It was a comfortable and warm feeling in itself.
All basic furniture such as sofas and tables are made of wood. Everything was the tree itself. He smiled slightly at the gentle scent of wood.
It’s pretty good for a guest house.
“Wow! Do you have a bathroom?”
Shin Seo-yeon exclaimed in a joyful voice. At that moment, a voice was heard outside.
thud. thud!
“I’m leaving.”
The door opened quickly at the sound of a knock.
And there.
Lina, in a beautiful green dress, was standing holding a tray. On the tray she was holding, she could see soup, smoke rising.
