Chapter 332 The Witchs Tears

I remember suddenly being hit from behind.

But it didnt feel like an attack, although that could have been my imagination.

Rather I

Indeed. Aonii was trying to protect you.

Treainar? What are you talking about that bastard was insulting Mr. Aka

You should have known that Aoniis words were untrue. He put his body on the line to test you. To confirm how genuine your friendship with Aka was. And because it was proven true, he risked his life.

Thats

We were able to escape to a certain distance. Of course, things would still be dire should a large-scale mountain hunt be executed, but Hakuki would do no such thing. Although he is a cruel one, he will overlook it this time due to the fact that his subordinate risked his life to fulfill it he was the sort to care for his own, even if they were traitors.

Finally, a blinding light shone into the dark world of consciousness.

Ah, this was a prelude to waking up.

Anyway, I have to sort out what happened again after I wake up

Big brotheeeeeer!

Brother!

Buhea!?

I slowly woke up and before I knew it, my sister and brother dived into my belly, waking me up in an instant.

Im so glad~, Big brother~

Please dont make me worry like that, okay? Im just glad were all okay.

They both hugged me with smiles of relief and tears in their eyes.

Y, yes calm down .

Noooo, Im not letting go of you.

Uh. wh, what, Brother, y. you made us worry so much, and now youre treating us as a nuisance?

Ah~~, yes yes, you two are so cute.

I patted them on the head with both hands and looked around.

A wilderness at the foot of the mountainous surroundings?

The village elves were cutting down trees to build simple houses, and elves with weapons on the rocky hillside were looking around and acting as if they were keeping watch.

Oh, Young man. You have awakened.

Chieftain this is .

Oh, due to various circumstances, weve been forced to relocate. Whether well settle here permanently or not is another matter. It seems were not too far from our former settlement, it looks inconvenient. Despite being surrounded by rocky mountains, its quite close to human-inhabited areas, making it easier to be discovered

Relocate. In other words, they all fled from that village.

From Hakukis hand

We managed to escape.

True, those two lent us a hand.

Hmm? Ah

Then I remembered the conversation I had with Treainar in my consciousness.

I see Aonii

Yes.

He bought us time to escape.

Thats what he really put his life on the line for.

Huh? But, those two.

Yes, there that one.

Hmm? Ah

Two people helped us escape from Hakuki.

If one of them was Aonii, As I wondered who the other was, I turned around, and there was a woman glaring at me with crossed arms in the shade of a tree diagonally behind me.

You Larouiph

Hmmm

Are you okay? You cant go back to the Demon King Army anymore

Larouiph, the Dark Elf under Norjas command.

Even though her restraints have been removed and she was free, she remained silent.

Even this fellow betrayed the Demon King Army?

Aonii Aka and their parents all lived in the Dark Elf Village, where I was born.

Eh, Mr. Aka!?

Larouiph suddenly began to speak, and I was surprised and convinced at the same time.

Was that really the case?

I see After all, you were together with Mr. Aka.

I thought what if based on her reaction when she saw the stone accessory I received from Mr. Aka.

We were childhood friends although we were of different races weve been together since we were little Aonii, who was gutsy, strong, and reliable, was like an older brother and

Larouiph spoke of those two as she reminisced about the past.

She wasnt the so-called Ebony Witch, and the expression on her face didnt show her ominous hatred towards us.

She just thought of one man, and

He was kinder than anyone else his smile was very reassuring, and when I was having a hard time or feeling sad, he would feel it with me as if it were his own thats .

Yeah, thats the kind of guy he is. Mr. Aka.

I couldnt help but nod, and at the same time I realized how much she had been thinking about Mr. Aka.

Tell me just one thing. Aka is he alive?

I cant say much about history. But about this at least

Yes I dont know where he is now, but

Still, its vexing.

Mr. Aka is alive. And hell be hiding in the mountains near Honeyborough in the Empire from now until a decade or so after the war is over so, maybe even now but if I tell her about this, history might

I see

But

Aka is still alive ?

The story of his survival was probably enough for Larouiph, who sat down there on the spot with tears rolling down her face.

She cared so much for Mr. Aka

I cannot believe how ridiculous I never doubted the death of the man I truly loved I didnt believe he was alive one-sidedly calling for revenge, these hands of mine theyre covered in blood far beyond what he would have wanted to the point that he would reject me never again so much that I dont deserve to see him again.

Never again hey, you.

Just if hes alive Im glad I really am glad .

I see I didnt think there was a woman who was so in love with that Mr. Aka.

Ah, Mr. Aka such a sinful guy.

Mr. Aka. Next time we meet, Ill give you a little lecture, okay?

Making a woman who cares for you so much cry

Yes, Boomerang!

Shut up, I noticed it myself right away!

Geez just either way, Id like to meet Mr. Aka .

What Larouiph has done to humans its not my place to meddle.

Thats why Im hoping you two can work something out.

Besides

For what its worth I was also saved by Aonii it felt like something was entrusted to me.

I suppose

I, too, felt a sense of sadness as I looked at the distant sky.

And naturally, tears welled up in my eyes as well.

its heavy being protected with someones life this is what it means.

Indeed. You must shoulder this burden the life risked for your sake never forget that weight, child.

yeah

I wanted to talk with Aonii a little bit more.

Stupid bastard once youre dead you wont be able to do anything with Mr. Aka with me tsu you wont be able to do that.

You helped us unilaterally, we didnt even thank you, and then you entrusted them to me without permission?

Youve got to be kidding me.

If thats the case, Im going to try to do something about the something that was entrusted to me.

Im going to put this life of mine that he saved on the line.
