The elf continued to babble for a long time after that.

She said that she was born under a tree called El Ti – the elves seemed to give names to the trees and divide the area around them. Started talking

Since she was little, she has had frequent illnesses. For fear of spreading the disease to those around her, she was a pity (she herself remarked) that she had not been exposed to the beauty of the sun for several decades.

She was often ridiculed, as those who were close to death or whose bodies did not suit elves were all hated in elven society.

Gay gave her a hand like that The captain buried under the city is said to be that elf who has now become a demon.

The elf, who now held her title as captain of the elven guards, brought her presents every day.

I always climbed a tall tree and knocked on her window, and she opened her window and took the gift.

Bring books, bring toys, bring stories from the outside world.

She packed up various things she hadn’t known or seen, wrapped them in wrapping paper called pretty words, and presented them as gifts.

Since this relationship has lasted for several years, the feelings she has for the captain must be quite affectionate.

“This… You bastard! A guy with short ears and short morals! A guy who will rot as soon as the branches of the World Tree touch it! You took such a captain!”

“What am I doing?”

She never imagined that she would hear the story of a character she hadn’t even seen in the original work.

Of course, she wasn’t particularly impressed. Everyone has things like ejaculation.

Morbe’s disciple, who caused this situation right away, must have a situation.

There is no such thing as a ruthless person in this world. White people have their own circumstances. Regardless of the bad or the good, everyone has circumstances.

Who in this world wants to be hated? Would you like to be denied? Everyone in this world has their own means of justification.

I’ve been through this, so it’s okay.

Since I have been given this kind of life, I should be reciprocated a little.

Since there were circumstances like this, what I did was justified.

While harboring feelings like this.

She cries and argues with me right now.

“Because of a demon like you, the captain was dragged away by a demon…”

“Huh? Wait a minute. What are you talking about?”

This elf still doesn’t quite grasp the situation.

A phenomenon seen when demons manifested. Rather than saying that the devil grabbed the elf and lowered him to the ground, it would be more appropriate to say that the elf went down to the ground himself.

The root of the devil did not surround him, but the root sprung from him.

Just as I spread the devil’s wings, he also scattered the devil’s power.

“Your captain didn’t get dragged by the devil, he became the devil himself…”

As I was saying that, a thought passed by me.

‘Then, did the elf captain become… A demon like me?’

I realized that there was someone in the same situation. In terms of being comrades, there is nothing to compare with Monia. It’s not at the level of being a monster in the past, it’s because he’s a demon in the present progressive form.

What I feel is sympathy and compassion.

As a person in the same situation, there is pain that can be sympathized with. She can send infinite sympathy to her as her senior who suffered countless misfortunes that would come upon her the moment she became a demon.

However, those emotions do not lead to action.

You can feel sorry for a puppy abandoned on the side of the road, but you don’t actually pick it up. I will too.

‘It’s been said that it’s the devil of order, but it’s definitely inconvenient to forcefully follow the rules… But it’s helpful at the same time.’

The rules created by someone becoming a demon ironically made me not a demon. The misfortune of others soon led to my happiness.

It’s definitely a pity that I became a demon.

Even if it’s my enemy and the source of the sins I don’t want to face, just like the elf in front of me right now, it’s a precious person that someone won’t stop loving.

‘But not to me.’

It’s pitiful. But can’t act I wouldn’t particularly stop others from escaping this city, but there’s no reason for me to be proactive.

“…Became a demon? What, what do you mean by that!”

“Listen at this point. Your captain wasn’t taken and sealed away by the devil. He became the devil himself and ruled this city.”

“Gee, don’t lie!”

“I bet you’ve seen it too? The captain is a b*tch changing strangely.”

“People can’t be demons!”

The elf resolutely refuted. When I glared at him with cold eyes, he shrank a little, but nevertheless finished his words.

“Elves are noble beings! Are you insulting our captain? I can’t stand it, no matter how strong you are…”

“What if I can’t stand it?”

He hit me hard on the butt.

“What’s wrong?!”

“Don’t be fooled, just listen.”

The texture was worse than Innis.

“Before you are elves, you are demons. Humans who have been heavily influenced by demons. Perhaps the leader of them must have been especially strongly influenced by demons. They lived a long time, or they had contact with each other for a long time… well, maybe both. It’s just that. Besides, demons can also manifest through demons. The demons must have manifested through the medium of your captain’s body, which has become close to demons.”

“That, that kind of nonsense… Kyaaah!”

A few more slaps on his butt calmed him down. Also, people have to live with their flesh. How beautiful you are so calm.

“Why do you think this is ridiculous? From the me you are looking at, I was originally a human being. No, since I am a human now, the past tense is not appropriate. Anyway, your captain has become a devil. Know that.”

She made a pretty shocking expression. Yes, that would be shocking I don’t understand, but I sympathize. Originally, other people cannot understand each other. This thought has not changed.

My own people were slaughtered, and I was defeated by the enemy I found, and the captain I trusted and followed fell into a terrible existence. How miserable it must be, I naturally felt pity.

As expected, you shouldn’t know the circumstances.

Haven’t you become more guilty toward the person you originally felt guilty about? I haven’t even enjoyed my freedom yet, but the shackles have increased.

“…Is it our fault?”

A murmur was heard from the elf who lowered his head in despair.

“To be honest, I wouldn’t say otherwise.”

Because everyone is a sinner.

I hate to blame the victims, but there wouldn’t have been a massacre if they hadn’t stood in their way.

Also, they wouldn’t have taken part in the massacre.

The Demon King Candidate and the Elf, who were enemies of the Undead.

I turned around and found myself in the same situation as them.

“I… I just put into practice what I was taught… I learned from such a young age… Intruders must be punished… The World Tree must be respected… Older adults must be followed… And things like that I just learned! I… I grew up in a place like that and I didn’t know anything else…!”

She shouted as if it was unfair, and soon her tears began to flow.

“But that’s wrong? Is it wrong?! You never told me! You never told me what to do and how to do it right. How dare you say such a shameless thing!! A devil who murdered his own people!!!”

“That’s right.”

I touched the ground and continued talking.

“If you guys didn’t do the same thing.”

If they had expressed their anger in a more moderate way, if I had limited the direction of their anger to myself, I would have always knelt down and bowed my head in front of them.

But they didn’t.

“The people of Eternus also invaded and defended themselves, and they didn’t know what kind of pain you guys went through, so they couldn’t afford to sympathize. I made the same mistake, but in front of whom do I shout? Even innocent people get involved…”

“Me, I really didn’t know.”

“If I didn’t know it wasn’t a crime!”

If ignorance were the proof of all innocence, I wouldn’t have suffered like this.

“Your right, the right to scold, insult, and slander me will disappear. Because I am not a sinner either.”

The elf shook his head again.

I sighed and got up. A comfortable breath exhaled from the elf who had been suppressed by me for a long time.

“…Really, is there no way to save the captain? Will my captain… Be subjugated… As a… Demon…?”

“Personally, I don’t want it to be a subjugation.”

If I become subjugated, my freedom will disappear.

“…! You might be a surprisingly nice guy.”

“Don’t praise me for something strange, you idiot.”

“Well, then that means that you will also cooperate in preventing the captain’s subjugation, right?”

“You’re quick to decide. Have you already decided to stop subjugation?”

Decisions are quick. The elf raised his lying body with a spleen look on his face.

“Yes! Yes, no! I must go back to my people… We must come together!”

“Do you think you can help me?”

“…What?”

“As for the elves. You all reject demons other than the World Tree. If Captain Neg turned into a demon, wouldn’t he rather actively kill him?”

The reason I was able to enter the forest was because I was a close friend of the World Tree and I talked about it, not because I was a devil. As the only god worshiping the World Tree, other demons have a strong blasphemous character. Whether it should be called loyalty to the captain, or what other elves will think except for this woman with extraordinary love, it is not certain.

“Isn’t that… Well, still worth a try?!”

“For reference, I won’t help you. As much as I want to be free, I respect the freedom of others. If you want to escape, you have to help.”

Actually, I did think of a way to get out of this city. But i won’t use it It’s not worth giving up my freedom.

“Coward… I knew it!”

“Oh, I see. I’m going.”

“Wait a minute! Let’s go together, Demon King Candidate!”

This elf hastily followed me.

“Elf, my name is Iba. I’m not a candidate for the Demon King.”

“That’s right Ibada! My name is ‘Ia’!”

“No, it’s not this sea… Huh, that’s it. Why are you following me?”

“My ability has a long standby time! Above all, watching over enemies is the mission the captain gave me!”

I let out a deep sigh and hurried my steps.

“Do whatever you want.”

“…If you save our captain, there might be a reward! What do you think?”

“Hide your breath and convince me.”

I just cried, now I’m persuaded. You are a very expressive friend.

I’m not a half-elf, so I didn’t intend to become friends with elves.

I walked around the city with uncomfortable steps.
