I see your code (158)
A week has passed since then. And that was also the time when I was stuck at home.
Duilan said it didn’t matter if he went out, but even if he did, there was nothing to do.
Even if you think that you are just sightseeing, you have to see something.
Because the elves were self-sufficient as a basic way of life, there were no shops selling anything, and no restaurants selling food.
The fortunate thing is that they still took care of the food as guests. At the very least, I almost had to grab a bow and go hunting.
I thought, sipping a tea made from leaves roughly taken from a nearby tree.
If there is such a thing as boring heaven, this is it.
“I’m pretty calm and good, right?”
Arina, who was sipping tea together in front, said that at first.
The guy who used to be the leader of materialism came to the primitive age of barter and brought up such a thing.
I thought it was nonsense for a moment, but thinking about it, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
Because I used to say that the goal of making money is to buy meat. Even if it’s a little boring here, where you only eat three meals a day, you might be right.
Not long ago, I lived in Layton, where it was common to get stabbed on the street, so the boring atmosphere here may have come to me peacefully.
Arina yawned, clenched her chin, and continued.
“Lian-sama, how about just enjoying your stay comfortably? You have been through a lot.”
“Originally, the hardships are also bought.”
“Look. Because you live so hard, you sound like an old-timer.”
“… … .”
I had nothing to say. It reminds me of books that actually had similar content on Earth.
After being silent for a while, he finally opened his mouth.
“The house is not comfortable, how can I stay comfortably?”
“ah… … .”
Arina let out a groan as if she had realized something. Then he looks at me and smiles bitterly.
“Are you still visiting these days? that elf. The name… … Did I say Lily?”
I sighed and answered.
“It seems that the souls of other races are inside him alone. I have never seen such a tenacious elf again.”
“I don’t know that many elves.”
“There aren’t many elves who know how to beg, so I completely understand their habits. The other kids who followed him gave up and went out to play.”
“Well, it is, but… … .”
Arina raised her head and murmured, then shrugged her shoulders.
“Why don’t you just teach me a little bit? Spirits.”
“I don’t think it’s that easy.”
To be honest, I have the confidence to become a better teacher than anyone else if I put my mind to it.
It is true that I learned the spirit art by self-education, and it is true that I grew up wild thanks to the promise of the Spirit King, but I have all the information about the skills in the game.
It’s not like you can’t use it just by knowing the theory like swordsmanship, and in fact, I thought I’d better learn it someday if I had some spare time.
The problem is that I don’t have the time to teach anyone right now.
“Anyway, we are going to have to go back soon. It’s better to just learn at a leisurely pace than to learn from me at first glance. In the first place, there is no other race as good as the elves.”
Arina smiled brightly at my words.
“In short, it’s about responsibility.”
“… … Why does that happen?”
“If that’s not responsible, then what? Otherwise, it’s enough to just pretend to teach something and throw it away.”
“Think as you like.”
He turned away, avoiding his smirking gaze.
“Isn’t the world tree recovery experiment going well?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
“It’s no use even shichimi. I already know that you go to Elder Andras’ house on a fictional day and ask Sir.”
Arina gave a bewildered expression for a moment, then pouted her lips.
“When did you see that again? Are you watching me?”
“Even if the elves are relaxed, the rumors go fast. He taught me when Lilia came.”
“… … Come to think of it, I think I was wrong when I told him to just teach me how to use spirit arts. Even if you have free time, never teach me.”
I shrugged and looked at Arina.
Is it because of the elf blood flowing through his body?
When I first heard the news, I thought it was to calculate when I would return, but I guess it was because I was purely worried about the world tree.
“If you want to stay here any longer, just tell me. The temple will be surrounded by you saying you are fulfilling your mission.”
“… … When are you going back?”
“Why don’t I take a moment to pick you up?”
Arina looked at me for a moment and then smiled.
“Thank you for your consideration, but that’s okay. It’s nice to be calm, but I think it would be boring if I was alone.”
I didn’t say to enjoy a vacation, but because of the world tree… … . what happened It seems that I am still confused as to why I am drawn to the World Tree.
It was a moment to put the problem aside and ask once again when the experiment would end.
smart.
A knock was heard from the front door. As we approached and opened the door, there was an elf guard who had guided us twice.
“What are you doing?”
“The Presbyterian Council has ordered the entire village to be summoned.”
The guard stiffened his body with tension and continued.
“It seems they are trying to restore the world tree today.”
* * *
Loud noises are heard from all sides. I wonder if there were so many elves in this town.
When I came out for a while, all I saw was three, but the number of people gathered here seems to be close to a thousand.
Arina also opened her mouth wide in surprise.
“Where the hell did all these people come from? Sometimes I wondered if this was the village.”
“That’s right.”
Actually, I feel a little strange.
No matter how quiet it was, I wanted to set up a five-wheeled system with more than a thousand people living there, but it probably wasn’t. This is the first time I was surprised that the setting was the same since I came to this world.
Anyway, it’s quite spectacular to see the elves gathered like this.
I frankly glanced at them once in a while. I wonder if there are any characters that appear in the game.
For a moment, I thought that it might be rude, but on the contrary, over a thousand pairs of eyes were staring at me, and I quickly turned off my nerves.
I see them too, but there’s nothing else I can’t see.
“I thought you would come.”
Then, suddenly, a voice was heard from behind.
When I turned around, there was a woman with light blue hair standing there with a blank expression. These are the 6 elders who are the Hong Il-point of the Presbyterian Church.
I never thought he would talk to me.
I said without showing my embarrassment.
“This is Elder Felina. I know that the people of the Presbyterian Church should be on the podium, but… … .”
“It’s just a recommendation. Am I uncomfortable?”
Yes. It’s huge.
“It is not. I was just curious and asked.”
“Then I’ll just be comfortable.”
Then he sneaks up and stands next to him.
Was it right to be honest? I said that you are very uncomfortable.
“… … .”
To be honest, I didn’t really want to deal with him.
It’s not because she’s a black man with a roll of personality, or because she has a very strict personality, but because she was one of the few prophets on the continent.
It would be nice to be able to hear the future, but the problem is that the future of this world is not a set scenario.
Nevertheless, the act of ‘prophecy’ is possible because the foreknowledge changes almost to a certainty at the moment of speaking, but no matter how much I think about it, the future I heard was not so promising.
I tapped Arina standing next to her with a look of alert. I wanted to spread the distance a little bit.
And the plan was soon uncovered.
Felina glanced at me and opened her mouth calmly.
“I am also uncomfortable.”
“yes. That’s right.”
This time, he spoke frankly. Because I had no desire to continue this uncomfortable companionship.
“May I ask why?”
“Because the prophets are clumsy.”
There was a faint smile on my face at my words.
“You also knew that I was a prophet.”
“… … .”
It’s also It just makes it even more awkward.
To be honest, I’ll have to think about how far the answer goes.
“If you are going to recite wisdom after that, please stop. I don’t really want to hear it.”
“It’s strange. Most of the time, they want to hear a prophecy from me, even if they give me a million dollars.”
“I guess I’m not that type of person. I think it would be good to receive billions of dollars and teach them to those who want it.”
“You are a fun person.”
It’s not something I’m going to say with an expressionless expression.
I approached Arina, who had suddenly floated the distance, and said,
“Anyway, whatever you see has nothing to do with me. I am not interested.”
“I’m not interested… … . Even if it has something to do with your ‘game’?”
He stopped for a moment and turned his head. Because what she said was enough to make me that way.
“How much do you know?”
“To the point where it doesn’t feel so uncomfortable. I can get a glimpse of the world for a moment, but I cannot understand its essence.”
He looked at Felina without saying a word for a moment. She just stood there with a blank expression on her face.
After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.
“It is, too. No prophecy is necessary.”
This time, a light of embarrassment flashed on Felina’s face, whether it was really surprising.
“Why? Is it because you think it might not be a good one?”
“There is, but… … Rather, for other reasons.”
“Any other reason?”
“yes.”
“what is that?”
I answered while looking at the world tree that was slightly hollowed out.
“It’s hard to understand if it’s not the result of my choices, whether it’s good or bad.”
“… … It is the result of your own choices.”
“yes. After hard work and hard work, it would be futile if someone next to me said that it was the future that had already been set.”
“… … .”
Felina looked at me with a blank face and a slightly open mouth.
I thought it would be a little strange that way, but the expression on my face makes me feel more alive.
After standing silently for a while, she spoke quietly as if she had regained consciousness.
“It’s a bit daunting because it’s a point of view that I never thought of. Thanks to you, I learned a lot.”
“Then, wouldn’t it be better to just go upstairs and stop? It seems to be slowly restoring the world tree.”
“Wait. There is still one thing left to say. It wasn’t originally planned, but… … .”
Then why not just do it?
I wanted to say that, but I held back. In any case, it must have come as a favor to her.
“What is?”
At my question, Felina said with a slight smile.
“For the time being, please take good care of my little brother.”
