Episode 53. Healer meets the elves.
There was something strange about the dress Lina was wearing. Pink hair flowed down the elven-like pure white collarbone.
It wasn’t too much exposure, but there was something that stimulated the man’s heart. It was a gorgeous outfit that moderately revives a Western body shape. Unknowingly, my eyes went to the material of the strange clothes.
Because the elf itself is strange in the first place.
“Lee Seo-joon, are you hungry? It’s not enough, but please enjoy it!”
Lina smiled and handed me the tray. Thanks to him, the moment he reached out his hand, Chae-eun Yoo came out and took the tray.
“Seojun, I’ll listen. give it to me You can eat it with food brought from outside. Did I say Lina? I will eat well.”
It was autumn weather, the perfect temperature outside. I was satisfied with the gentle breeze that touched my forehead. The moment you say thank you again and try to enter.
Lina stared at me. Those eyes full of anticipation were really deep eyes. It seems to be asking for something like a hungry kitten.
Seeing that he keeps procrastinating, it looks like he has something he wants to say. Are you curious about the food we brought?
“… uh. If it’s okay, would you like to have dinner together?”
“I don’t mean that. I think I’ll get in the way.”
Lina shakes her hands, but her pricked ears droop. Can elves move their ears freely? In fact, I must have wondered about strangers even if I was an elf.
I glanced at the people behind me. In contrast to Kang Soo-hyuk, who nodded, Yoo Chae-eun had a complex and subtle expression. Shin Seo-yeon doesn’t seem to have gone to the bathroom.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I think I’ll have to get Yoo Chae-eun’s permission. Isn’t she the oldest among us in the first place?
“… I think it’s fine. This is the first time this has happened, and the more information we have, the better.”
Yoo Chae-eun said in a trembling voice and tucked her hair behind her ear. I nodded and stepped aside the door.
“I made it stand for a long time. Come in.”
“thank you so much. Seo-Jun Lee.”
Lina came in with a beautiful smile. Come to think of it, isn’t it the shelter they gave to them in the first place?
“Wow. It smells good.”
Lina’s eyes widened. It was probably the smell of cup noodles that had just been poured with hot water. I can’t stand it.
For elves who mainly eat vegetarian food, it is a very stimulating scent. I brought a lot, so it doesn’t matter if I have one more mouth.
We each took our seats. Lina looked around and sat down next to me. It wasn’t forced, it just happened.
Yoo Chae-eun’s brow furrowed slightly. It’s like you don’t like something. I didn’t like it either.
But this atmosphere. The cozy feeling is alive. After all, isn’t that a meal with elves?
It’s like being the main character in a fantasy cartoon. I want to leave it as a picture as well.
Vegetable soup placed next to cup noodles.
I ate the soup with a wooden spoon. Yoo Chae-eun and Lina looked at me intently.
“It’s delicious.”
Lina covered her cheeks with both hands and smiled. looking quite satisfied. After all, it was not recognized by other races.
I picked up a piece of pastry spread out in front of me and put it in my mouth. Lina was crouching, so I handed her a chocolate cookie as well.
well water.
“Wow. what? How sweet is this tongue-in-cheek? Oh my gosh. It’s the first time I’ve eaten something like this.”
Lina exhaled admiration and her eyes lit up. At first, I had a strong mysterious impression, but now it’s just cute.
If you don’t know this kind of dessert your whole life, you might have a reaction like that when you eat sweets for the first time. Even considering that, the reaction is very rich.
Even if it’s just an assumption, I think it will do very well if it broadcasts on the Internet. You look younger than me on the outside.
“How old is Lina?”
“ah. yes! Seojun Lee, I just passed my 200th birthday a few days ago.”
I see He was also an elf.
“uh. But you don’t have to add ‘nim’.”
“But how do I… .”
Lina bowed her head and shook her body. A few strands of pink hair, like cotton candy, swayed wildly. A sigh is heard from somewhere around.
“Ugh. Then just call me comfortably.”
“yes. thank you!”
Lina smiled brightly. I made a bowl out of my share of cup ramen lid plastic. And put some ramen noodles on it.
“ah. right. Would you like to try this?”
“yes?! How dare I. Ahh.”
Still, open your mouth. I put a chopstick of spicy, tangy, addictive ramen into her mouth. Elves don’t know how to use chopsticks.
filth filth. gulp.
“It’s really delicious. It’s so delicious. ha. Seojun Lee, it’s so spicy. ha. huh.”
Lina blushes and sticks out her tongue. Fan it and eagerly search for water. I grabbed the lid of the water bottle I had brought and handed it over.
When I saw Lina drinking bottled water, I felt sorry for nothing. Then Yoo Chae-eun, who was on the other side, stood up.
“Seojun, can I get you another cup of noodles? I don’t think sharing it like that would be enough. You never know what kind of virus there might be in other races in the first place. I might get sick… .”
“What?! Human woman, have you finished talking?”
“a. Have we already made contact? And there is that light of purification.”
They’ve already come to their house, but it’s too late to worry about that. I put a cookie in Lina’s mouth before it got louder and it became quiet again.
“… That’s it though.”
Yoo Chae-eun reluctantly nodded in agreement. It was a peaceful meal time except for Shin Seo-yeon, who came back to her seat, and tapped her chest a few times as if her throat was clogged.
“The dishes are ours to wash… .”
“no. You don’t even know where it is. I’ll take it. Rather, it was such an honor to be able to try food from other countries. And dear… .”
Lina took the bowl on the tray and smiled brightly at someone behind me. The beautiful green dress was elegant without being disheveled.
Elves are different. Visuals like the main character in a cartoon.
So, your eyes will automatically follow. Are those clothes for men? Without realizing it, my mouth was slightly opened.

When we woke up the next day, we sat around wooden chairs and held a meeting. In fact, there was no meeting.
“First, let’s talk about what each of us should do one by one. Any weird words are fine.”
As Hunter seniors, Yoo Chae-eun and I had to lead them. see Those juniors who look only at us.
“I think it would be a good idea to start by looking around this area.”
Kang Soo-hyuk made an opinion with a dignified figure, and his gaze turned to Shin Seo-yeon.
“I think the same.”
Then she looked up and agreed. Yoo Chae-eun, who coughed a little, asks me.
“What do you think, Seo-jun?”
I gently brushed my chin. After slowly reflecting on what happened yesterday, I said my thoughts.
“Actually, I like the ‘world tree’ mentioned by the Elder. Then why don’t you look around and investigate?”
“That’s a good idea. Hiller.”
Kang Soo-hyuk, who has a straight face like a bamboo, nods his head. Yoo Chae-eun was also of the same opinion.
We quickly packed our things and left the treehouse. how far did you walk All you see are mysterious trees and grass.
I gave up going any further and moved to the dirt road paved by the elves. You can see the landscape of the village they live in right away.
“Look everyone. The benefactors of the village and their companions have finally arrived!”
The young-looking elf boy pointed at us and shouted. Then the elves from each place came one by one.
“uh? uh?!”
A shrill voice came out of his mouth. It surrounds me like a bastard plucking money from his nose in the alleyway.
In this case, Kang Soo-hyuk, who must be stopped, is just watching from behind with a shield.
“Thanks to her, my daughter is alive. thank you,”
“Overseas times of the world, such a miracle is coming to us. Thank you, thank you again.”
“Long live the elf benefactor, Lee Seo-jun! Long live the colleagues!”

No. This is so disappointing. Even without gender discrimination, the beauty was so outstanding that it looked like CG.
Some of them praying with their hands together terrified me. There were even elves trying to lift me up.
that’s just disgusting To be honest, I almost screamed without realizing it.
“stop. stop it.”
In an instant, their actions stopped and silence fell. Did I really stop because I said ‘Stop it’?
“What exactly is a ‘world tree’ over there?”
The elves murmured again at the words I spit. At the sound of a man walking from afar, the elves quickly veered off the road.
“That I will explain. It will be quicker to see for yourself.”
It was a platinum-haired elf with a cane, and it was Bern, the village elder.
It was nice to see you again after saying hello yesterday. His straight forehead stood out as if showing his honest feelings.
The slow steps gradually increased. We headed where he was leading.
⁕⁕⁕
It’s not climbing, it’s going up and down. He looks middle-aged, but he’s an elf, so he’s good at climbing mountains.
Among us, Shin Seo-yeon, who had a lower grade, suffered the most. If I wasn’t an S-class hunter, I would have fainted and collapsed sooner.
“Are you still far away?”
Kang Soo-hyuk asked Bern. There was a slight annoyance in his voice. okay. You were human too.
“I’m almost there.”
I’ve already heard that a few times. I feel a little deceived.
I barely swallowed the words that seemed to come out of my mouth. Then I felt something deep in my heart.
I feel like I miss you somehow. Weak but warm to the touch. what. This.
“It has arrived.”
I looked forward to Bern’s words. A world tree that is not missing in a common fantasy genre game.
It is known as a huge and beautiful tree, but what we see is a little different. in a slightly negative sense.
it was big It is considerably larger than a normal tree. However, there was no feeling of rich leaves or mysterious feeling.
It was because only the branches were hanging bare. Of course, there were some leaves hanging on it.
Seeing that scene made my heart ache for some reason. It was bittersweet and my heart was pounding.
“The healing power you showed was the same as the power of the World Tree. But the current world tree has lost its power.”
Bern looked at the World Tree with a bitter smile. Naturally, doubts arise.
“… Why?”
“I don’t know either. We can’t figure out the cause.”
Add words after a brief pause.
“Suddenly the leaves of the world tree began to fall. Perhaps that’s when the healing power began to disappear… .”
After that, the elves said that they did everything they could to revive the world tree. He continued to water and pray. It is said that they hunted monsters and offered them as sacrifices.
I slowly approached the World Tree. Fortunately, he doesn’t appear to be completely dead yet.
“Perhaps… .”
Could it be a curse?
Maybe I can heal with the skills I have. He carefully placed his hand on the stem of the world tree.
Fortunately, Bern did not stop me and watched me indifferently. It may be the feeling of ‘I wonder if it is you.’ It’s a company where unreasonable expectations lead to disappointment. It’s a bit daunting, but you should try it.
“Seojun?”
Yoo Chae-eun called me from behind as if worried. But I smiled and nodded.
“The light of purification.”
and.
“cure.”
A strong green light is continuously absorbed by the branches of the World Tree. Blue light particles quickly seeped into the bottom stem.
For a moment, my head felt dizzy. The earthenware rose as if I had overeat and woke up from lying down.
dump.
“Are you okay? you? Unbelievable!”
A voice that cares about me is ringing in my ears. The clear mind gradually faded.
“Seojun-san, no!”
“Lee Seo-Jun Healer! It’s like this little elf. What is this?”
The screams of the elves began to be heard in the distance. The sound of a big drum thumping, announcing the battle situation, resounded in his head.
“An ogre has appeared! Hurry up, gather these filthy things!”
“It’s a dungeon. Get your weapons!! We will stop the giant monster.”
It seems like things are getting tense. Their voices gradually diminished. And finally, my vision was completely blacked out.
