65 – Let’s look at the back
Elves also had a better sense of smell than humans.
But he would not be as good as the Lang people who inherited the wild nature of wolves.
I brought up the wolf’s sense of smell and smelled my body.
‘This is the smell of Kaa…’ .’
Surprisingly, my body really did smell like a woman.
A familiar scent that gives a warm feeling. To be exact, it was the smell of the perfume Kaa had applied.
I’ve become close to Kaa these days and hang out with him often, but I had no idea that the smell would permeate to this extent.
I gave Shizu a scary look and firmly made an excuse.
“Shizu. “You must be mistaken.”
Shizu obediently walked away and gave me an expression asking me to say something.
I pointed to the Langin girls behind me and explained the identity of the scent on my body.
“This is the smell of the perfume that prisoners apply. “I think it was buried by accident, so don’t misunderstand.”
At my excuse, Shizu looked at the Rangin members behind him.
Judging by the way she frowned her thick eyebrows, it seemed as if she was asking, ‘Is this guy really saying this?’
In response to such a threatening question, the Langin members all shook their heads together. It seemed as if he was answering, ‘We don’t use perfume like that.’
There wasn’t a single person who could help me with what happened.
“They say they aren’t?”
“Okay. Actually, this perfume is only used by Kaa. But Shizu, why do you care about this?”
But I also had something to rebut.
It is true that Shizu was close to me, but that doesn’t mean she was a lover, right?
Whether I met a woman in Qingcheng Yue or formed a harem was not a matter for Shizu to interfere.
When I pointed out that fact and drew a line, Shizu frowned and glared at me.
“What does that mean? Are you telling me not to worry about me now?”
“If you think about it, that’s true. I wasn’t really dating you. “I don’t think you need to be interested in my love life.”
Shizu was a high elf who resembled the goddess of nature more than any other elf.
All this time, I have suppressed my dislike for her with a fierce desire to win, but it means that she is not someone I can be attracted to.
Sure enough, as soon as the story of her love life came out, Shizu’s expression became even more grim.
She snarled at me and spoke to me with a snarl.
“It looks like you’re misunderstanding something, but as a woman, I’m not jealous right now.”
“Okay. “Why are you doing that?”
“You are a druid candidate who was summoned directly by the goddess of nature. She belongs to Elden Nor and has the duty to protect the Great Forest. Is not it?”
“… Yes.”
“And I am the high elf hunting leader who has declared to be in charge of you. He promised to raise you and make you a full-fledged druid. “You know that, right?”
“… It did.”
Shizu approached me with the intention of grabbing my collar and looked up at me.
She had a murderous glow flashing through her green eyes.
Shizu, who was looking at me like she was going to kill me, continued her words while grinding her teeth.
“But when I sent him to Ley Lake to grow up as a druid, I heard that this guy wasn’t enough to meet a woman and got engaged to her. “Do you think I wouldn’t be angry in a situation like this?”
“… ….”
“Your roots lie in Eldennor. Even if you were blessed with wild nature, the god who summoned you is the goddess of nature. She must not do anything to escape the influence of the World Tree. “If you’re thinking about sitting in the ley lake, do it right now.”
“… ….”
What Shizu showed was not jealousy stemming from her crush. It was just an obsession that grew out of her desire to win.
It’s not that I didn’t like the situation where I was taken away by another woman, but I hated the situation where the druid was taken away by another force.
‘In short, you’re saying don’t leave home after getting married, right?’
The one who summoned you is Trius, the goddess of nature. So she should not play with beastmen, but play with elves.
He threatened me with a very scary expression. After translating Shizu’s words in a rounded way, I came up with that meaning.
He says these things in a cruel way because he is afraid that someone might think he is not a high elf.
After realizing what she meant, I answered Shizu with a bright smile.
“Okay. “Now I just have to not fall from your side.”
“What? That’s not what I’m saying, it’s just that you shouldn’t be mistaken about the place where you will have a sense of belonging.”
“Isn’t that ultimately telling me to stick by your side?”
“…… “That’s right.”
In my experience, if you treat Shizu kindly, she tends to soften up.
She kept that memory alive and treated him playfully, and Shizu, who had been lashing out at her, instantly became calm.
When she suddenly said that she smelled like another woman, she thought her heart would drop, but seeing Shizu become so calm, her joy slowly blooms again.
I tapped her shoulder and changed the direction and mood of her story.
“By the way, one more camellia flower has bloomed on your back? “Did you hunt about five monsters this fall?”
High elves had a custom of tattooing the number of enemies they had defeated.
Shizu said that every time she catches a monster, she carves a camellia petal into it.
Shizu sighed as she saw me changing her words.
Then she nodded, pointing to the subordinates behind her.
“Okay. “Most of them gave in to those guys.”
I followed Siege’s hand and looked at the high elves behind her.
Then the high elves who caught my attention began showing off their tattoos.
“Candidate! “I caught three!”
“I have two!”
The sight of them showing off their tattoos while taking off their tops was like watching anchovies at the gym showing off their muscles.
I can’t believe these cute guys are bragging that they only caught two or three. Without even knowing that it was a matter of wrinkling in front of a chrysalis.
I snorted lightly and asked the meat-eating members behind me.
“Guys. “How many monsters have I caught so far?”
The three Langin warriors answered my question with bright smiles.
“I heard you caught twelve!”
“Of those, there were four that you hunted alone!”
“If you include the contributions you made, it would be much more!”
My official hunting record is about twelve.
I said, ‘Did you hear? He looked at the high elves with an expression that said, ‘You kids?’
Then, the astonished high elves rushed at me all at once and shouted.
“Huh! “Then what about tattoos?!”
“Back! “Let’s take a look at his back!”
They clung to me and started taking off my spirit armor.
With fifteen high elves clinging to me, there was no way for me to escape.
I desperately resisted the perverted touch and screamed at the top of my lungs.
“What a tattoo! “I don’t have anything like that!”
“Don’t lie! Where are you! “Where did you draw it?”
“Oh my! Candidate, you’re in great shape, aren’t you?”
But there wasn’t a single person who believed what I said.
Furthermore, these crazy bastards started taking off not only the breastplate but also the other side.
I asked for help from Shizu, who was watching intently from the side.
“Shi, Shizuya! “Try to stop them!”
Shizu, who had taken over Piyi from Ridin, swallowed her saliva and answered.
“Why? “I’m curious about your tattoos too.”
“No! “I really don’t have any tattoos!”
“Hmm. Well, then, how about taking this opportunity to draw?”
I can’t understand what he’s saying right now.
I shouted, pushing away the guys who kept clinging to my leg.
“I don’t like tattoos! “Don’t say anything weird and stop them!”
“…… “I think you’d be better suited than those secret people.”
“Ugh! What?”
“…… And if you have a tattoo, aren’t you going to hide your back?”
“Oh!”
Come to think of it, Shizu was a strange young lady who liked muscles.
They probably thought that if I got a tattoo, they would scold me like they did. She thought that then she would be able to naturally appreciate the muscles of my body.
‘That perverted girl is real!’
But am I crazy? Regardless of tattoos, it’s winter soon, so you’ll be walking around bare-chested?
I finally burst out with the wildness I had been holding in and ran out from among the high elves.
“Oh my! What!”
“aaah!”
Wolf, fox, rabbit, cow.
The high elves, who could not withstand the four types of wildness, fell backwards.
Then, I blinked my eyes blankly as I looked at the image of a true Druid.
“You… That look….”
Shizu, who had regained her appetite, was also surprised.

After fixing her disheveled armor, I received Piyi from Shizu.
As I was sighing and putting my wild nature to rest, Piyi, who had climbed onto her shoulder, giggled and said to everyone.
[It’s a blessing from the wild. Isn’t it amazing? Now, if she isn’t as good as Shizu, she won’t be able to defeat Ghaul, right?]
The high elves who were sitting down nodded at Piyi’s words, their eyes shining.
Seeing him openly display his awe, it seems that the blessing of the wild nature was quite great.
“Wow, this is amazing! “If it’s not Shizu, I don’t think she’ll be a match for you!”
“It will be soon to be recognized as an official druid!”
To be honest, I was more surprised that he was still evaluated as weaker than Shizu.
Then how strong is Shizu?
As I was looking at Shizu with that thought in mind, Piyi on my shoulder trembled and spoke.
[Ugh! But it’s so cold! Aren’t you cold with your bare skin exposed like that? Now, how about everyone go back to the city?]
As Piyi said, autumn on the Sudiya continent was quite chilly.
It was warmer than autumn in Korea, but it still wasn’t the weather to go around with your back covered.
However, the high elves’ passion for tattoos seemed to be hot despite the chill of fall.
“Tattoos are a sign of tenacity given by the goddess! “Covering it with clothes is nonsense!”
“Candidate, why don’t you get a tattoo instead? “Treas would also draw a tattoo now.”
Certainly, if it were me now, there was a high possibility that Trius would give me a tattoo as a gift.
But it wasn’t the picture I wanted, and I didn’t want to engrave Trius’s tastes on my body.
Did he understand my feelings?
Piyi on my shoulder hit my head and shouted to everyone.
[No! Don’t scribble on mine!]
Mine… He said….
Tears came out from the overwhelming emotion.
[Wow! What, what! What’s the matter?]
Today, you are a heavy warrior.
I returned to the city with Piyi raised high in the sky.
