Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle - Chapter 125

It would be a lie to say that you didn't expect it at all.

It's just one possibility.Or maybe it's because of something like this.

When they actually say it, they are still confused.

"Er...."

I watch Phoenix. [M]

He nods quietly without saying anything.

No, say something.As you can imagine, it would be troublesome just to have a face like this.

"... you're not surprised."

Lily said unexpectedly.She is a little more surprised at my reaction. [M]

"Well, if Lily tells me you want to talk to me at this time,"

I know she knows that I am the devil's army chief of staff.

If it weren't for haste, we would have waited till we had time.It is only natural to think that there is a reason because I want you to make time at a time when you will be extremely busy.

I can't think of so many reasons.

"Do you even see why?

"No, I can see it.We weren't friends... and I know you're serious.Suri-san, if it's related... "

Her eyebrows distort that name.

[Looseless Archer] Suli-san.Hunter of the 5th Scuha Party.

"... that's right.But I don't think I ever obviously said anything about his disgust... but it seemed like Lark was aware of it, and it was so easy to understand. "

"Everyone knows that.I wonder if he's an elf. "

"---! I noticed so much...."

"Well, yeah... that's how it's done."

Lily left the woods to meet us in the first city and join us.

Afterwards, when she learned of the existence of the Scuha party, she publicly expressed disgust to Suli.

I don't think there's a reason because I'm not a one-sided dislike of people I don't know well.

But after the same party, there was no contact between her and Suli.

And when she was in the woods, she was only involved with the forest species.Since Suli's neck is completely human, there is no such thing as a Bugman.

It's hard to imagine that something happened between us leaving the woods...

If she hated him, he would have done something, but if he did, he wouldn't have to hide it.

For example, he complains about Aruba's bad mouth every time.

If she thinks it's a problem, she points it out.

If so, it's not that Suli was a criminal or hurt her.

I probably don't like it because it is an elf and violates the forest code and pride.

They won't tell us because of the race.

Sometimes I was talking to my friends about that.

Speaking of which, she looked complicated.

"So... you all knew?

I was expecting it, I guess.

"... I'm unconscious."

Her cheeks are slightly red.

I saw something unusual when Lily, usually cool, blushed her face with shame.

When I realized that Phoenix and I were focused on ourselves, she coughed up deliberately.

"Cohong...If you know so much, it's quick to talk.Yeah. "

Her long, sharp ear tips are twitching.

It would be kind to flush it down here.

"So you want a place to fight him?

I checked and she agreed. [M]

Drink alcohol to hide your face.

"You shouldn't hide anything more than please.I can't tolerate that man's presence. "

Lily said.

Lily and Suri are from the same village.More precisely, her father taught him a bow.

Suli left home saying that she was not going to finish her life in the woods.

He certainly had his pride as an elf at that time.

Years later, Lily also left the forest.He said he was going on a journey at first.

Knowing her career as an adventurer in the first city, she met Phoenix, who contracted the body of the Fire Spirit, and decided on her future.

Whether it was a journey or an adventurer, I chose to travel around the dungeons.

And I found it.A brother and a disciple, who shall inherit the teachings of his father.

He concealed that he was an elf, and registered his archery, the polar region, as "Shinto".

There are three "Kamizu" users in the world.Lily and Suri. And I'm one of Suri's party members.

Originally thought of as a divine technique that combines elf wind magic and bow magic, it nodded that there were extremely few users.

"Over the past few years, the wind towards the elves has also weakened.And yet he keeps lying to himself. "

It was thanks to Lily's precedent that the presence of the Elf Adventurer was accepted.

You might think it's only been a few years.But how hard it is to survive for a few years, even though it has not been recognized in the industry before.

I'm sure you're lucky to be able to work with Phoenix.

Even at our party, when we accepted her, we had a discussion about whether to hide her elf ears with a magical body (avatar).

... well, Aruba was the only one who told me to hide it, but that's only natural given the air of the day.Because Aruba wants to be popular, she knows she's going to stop walking the Ibaraki Road.

There will always be hardship for those who take the first step.

You need to be prepared to tear the walls of the barren pot with your bare hands.

Lily had it.

A foolish boy who wanted to be a hero to [Black Magus] didn't want to deny it.

"Hmm...."

Lily doesn't seem to like hiding her race.

I know her anger.It may not be the same as empathy, but I could understand after listening to the story.

At the same time, I can understand Suli's judgment that he concealed the race at the time.I mean, Lily is amazing, and the public eye is very important in popular business.

When I say that I'm leaving the party, it's because the popularity is unusually low. [M]

Well, in Lily's case, I don't think I can forgive my fellow adventurers for lying about their proud species.

"But Lily, wouldn't standing in front of him as a monster be a lie to you?

Phoenix said.

Adventurers are set up with a human (normal) preference.

The Elves had a past of non-interference during the Great War.

It doesn't fit the setting of an adventurer fighting with a brave man.

Few fans felt uncomfortable creating a sense of resistance and developing it into disgust.

Lily's beauty, her powerful skill of "Kamizu", her trust from [Flame Brave] and, above all, her elegance, which is unwavering in any reputation.

They moved people's minds.

"What matters this time is race, not individual.I intend to join the fight as the monster's elf. "

I see.

Fight him as an elf and win as an elf.

I suppose you're going to tell him something by doing so.

Actually, I was aware of something.

After Phoenix Party came fourth and Skaha Party came fifth.

Lily was mindful of their trends.

They were watching as if they were eating on video boards (TV) installed in taverns and cafeterias, and while on the move, they were reading adventurer-related information magazines.

I'm sure Lily wanted to prove that elves could go up.The race wanted to tell him that ears, beautiful golden hair and skin, did not have to hide their pride as elves.

But Suli kept his identity hidden.

Lily doesn't want to reveal her secrets.I suppose you want to change his perception somehow.

I feel so bad about quitting my party that I can rely on someone like that. [M]

"Once I was saved by you and Phoenix's thoughts.I would have given up joining if either one of them had turned around to hide their ears.You have forgiven me to fight as I am.With that gratitude, I thought of you as a leg tie, and I agreed to withdraw. "

"No, that's a separate story.Because I'm grateful, I don't have to miss a mistake.I thought my judgment was the shortest distance to the top, but I failed. "

"No, Bella was right.You should have noticed.In fact, I have had a feeling of discomfort myself.When the arrow hits, it's better to do it than to train.... embarrassing story, but I interpreted it as being really strong.Somewhat of a long time ago, it wasn't hard to convince myself. "

Aruba's magical sword is difficult to prepare to move with practice.From what I've seen, I can't say that it's alive.

The opponents of Lark's practice were Aruba and Phoenix, but most monsters felt slower and less attacking compared to them, especially Phoenix.

In addition, I used it to keep my black magic from being noticed, so I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

In Lily's case, the same can be said of Aruba, but she was originally a forest people.Hunter.

Perhaps unconsciousness picked up that the process leading up to the shooting of the target was slightly different from practice and production.

"There was a problem with my way. [M]I was so obsessed with winning that I was robbing my people of growth opportunities. "

"Without that 'problem', how long would we have been?At least you couldn't get up to fourth place.
