chapter 274
274.Half Elf, Half Hero (12)
“These are clothes! It’s an amazing feeling!”
Yeah, it’s all new to you…
I looked at her her in her her her her elven garb her for a moment, then looked at her her her her real body her her her her her her her her her empty shell her her her of.
If Lue enters that body, what happens to this magic book?
“Rue. What happens to your body?”
“Uhm… Do you want to give it to me?”
I handed over her her her her body her her her to Lue. After holding her book and thinking for a moment, she put it in her mouth.
“Wow… I can’t get swallowed.”
“…I really don’t know what to say about this.”
I thought that I lacked common sense as a human being, but I never thought it would show up like this. I took the damaged book out of Lue’s hands
“Books are not for eating.”
“Is that so?”
“Okay. Have you ever seen us eat books?”
“Uh…There isn’t one?”
“Okay.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Isn’t it your body? “Can’t I just attach it to my body?”
“Like when the contractor hangs me on his belt?”
“Okay. “Do it.”
“Hmm…”
Lue held her her her her body her her with her arms outstretched, tilted her head, and then held her unconscious body her her her in her arms her her her. And as she mumbled something, the tentacles on her body stretched and she began to be absorbed little by little by her body.
“If there was such a function, I shouldn’t have used it a long time ago.”
“Hmm, while I was thinking about it, I remembered it too!”
What does that mean? It must have been something that came to mind when I searched my mind. I thought as I watched her hair slowly losing color.
“It seems to have an effect as it absorbs the main body. Can it be separated in that state?”
“Yes.”
Lue took her book her away from her body her again. That’s interesting. She looks like a magical girl. Looking at her queen out of the corner of her eye her her, she too was looking at her with an expression of interest on her face as if her actions she was strange.
“It would be nice if it remained integrated with the main body. “I don’t want to see any more faces that remind me of that bitch.”
“Yes!”
Her main body Her Her entered Lue’s body Her Her again, and the color drained from Lue’s body Her Her her. Skin that is so pale that it is pure white, and hair that has lost color and is almost gray. The tentacles…
“Can you take out the tentacles in that condition?”
“Yes.”
As I watched Lue pull out her tentacles from her her back to her, I felt her strange mood of her of her. No matter how you look at it, it looks like an enemy. I guess I wasn’t the only one who felt that way, as the Queen and her associates also looked at Lue with complicated expressions.
“Hi-Hi. You can use it like her hand.”
“Okay, okay. Then let’s leave.”
“It’s hard to walk! “Hold my hand!”
“Okay.”
I held Lue’s hand outstretched toward me and looked at the queen. The queen smiled when she saw me, then turned her back and said.
“Then I will leave.”
“Please have this before then.”
I took out all the goggles from my bag.
“This is…”
“It will be much better than what you can see with the naked eye.”
“How much do you have?”
“There are about ten of them, but we can mass-produce them as long as we have the materials.”
“Tell me the ingredients. “If we have it, we will hand it over.”
“Thank you. The ingredients are…”
————-
“It’s hard…”
“I guess you’re not used to climbing stairs yet.”
“It’s harder than you think!”
This is something that can’t be helped since we can’t properly handle the human body yet. I stopped, crouched down, and gestured backwards.
“Pick me up.”
“Isn’t it heavy?”
“It’s better than getting hurt.”
“Thank you! Hehe, I wanted to ride on your back too!”
I feel a somewhat light weight on my back. It seemed that the host was thin because he had been in prison for a long time. As I held her thighs with my hands and carried her on my back, I heard the queen’s voice from next to me.
“We get along well.”
“First of all, we’ve been together for almost a year.”
“Keep being friendly.”
“…I understand.”
The queen looked at me with her complex eyes. Is it because of her relationship her with her her cousin her her her? I was a little curious about the behind-the-scenes story that wasn’t revealed in the original, but I didn’t ask.
I’m not a snow bird so I wouldn’t ask that.
So we climbed the World Tree in a more relaxed mood than before. My body was a bit heavy because I was carrying Lue, but this was something I could easily cover with the Phoenix’s protection.
I think I walked for about 2 hours. We arrived in an area where the pollution had become severe.
“This should be enough. “Get down.”
“Yes.”
Lue carefully got off my body and turned his gaze towards the branch. Contaminated branches scatter red light. It was a sight that seemed like it would pollute one’s mind just by looking at it, but it didn’t seem to make any difference to Rue.
“I think I might just start wearing goggles from here on out.”
At my words, everyone took out their goggles from their pockets and started putting them on. It looked a bit comical because it was made without paying much attention to design, but design is only pursued when a product has overflowing performance.
…It’s not because I’m not talented in design.
Never.
“Rue. Then, come back.”
“Huh! “I’ll come back and talk about it!”
Wearing goggles, we watched Lue’s back as he walked toward the polluted branches from the trunk of the World Tree.
…I’m anxious. Should I follow along?
Maybe it’s because they look so innocent, but I couldn’t help but feel like a child was thrown into the water every time I saw them walking precariously.
Milia was okay with it because she was good at taking care of herself.
He’s really anxious.
“Still, I have to believe and wait.”
“…Let’s sit down and rest.”
We sat there in silence and looked at Lue’s back to her. Although the goggles restrict my vision a bit, I can still see something like this.
Lue spread her arms, shouted something, and pulled out her tentacles from her back.
What are you doing?
Because she was so far away and we couldn’t understand her, we had no choice but to observe her behavior more closely. With her tentacles hanging out, she walked into the contaminated area.
Shouldn’t that be blocked?
I jumped up and tried to run straight toward her branch.
[Are you okay! You don’t have to come!]
…I was still able to use telepathy.
I sat down on the floor again and watched Lue enter her contaminated area.
And…
The pollution did not penetrate her body. It seemed like she was being pushed out.
Why?
Is it because they were perceived as being on the same side?
Or is it because she doesn’t have the ability to make Lue’her her friend her her her’?
My mind is dizzy with countless possibilities. Is it strange that I try to understand their thoughts? I pressed the side of her head, which felt painful for some reason, with my finger and waited for the conversation between Lue and those strange creatures to end.
[Contractor! They came to take back what was theirs!]
“Yours?”
You came… To get it back?
What does that mean?
The fact that they came to take it back means that it was used to be theirs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a setting like that in the original work either? What on earth?
…No, maybe there were some unclear parts in the original work.
Maybe…
“Are there any beings who protected the World Tree before the elves?”
“…I’ve never heard of such a story.”
Even the high elves who live for a thousand years don’t know about this. What is the truth behind the story, that it begins even before the elves appear?
[Yes, contractor.]
At Lue’s call, I raised my gaze from the floor and looked at my partner at her. Lüe had turned her body around.
The sight of the red-stained branches seemed untouched as if a new enemy had appeared, but since Lue couldn’t have done that, I carefully observed what she was trying to do with her body.
[These kids’ names are !@*&!(#Rae!]
I can’t hear you. Isn’t this a language we can understand? Do I really need to save up points to make my interpretation skill S rank? Such useless thoughts pass through my head.
Anyway, it seemed like Rue was now conveying their message to me.
“Lue is relaying a message to me, but the language is being distorted.”
“It’s a distortion.”
“Her name she speaks sounds like an unknown language.”
“Can you pronounce it?”
“!@*&!(#.”
The queen, the oldest of the Amai, rested her chin in thought for a moment, then shook her head.
“I don’t know. “This is a word that even I cannot understand at all.”
Well, nothing can be resolved this way. Although it was natural, I couldn’t hide my frustration. So should I tell you to come back now? It looks like there is no more information to be gained.
[Contractor! They say they have something to say to the contractor!]
… What?
I couldn’t hide my embarrassment at Lue’s sudden message and made eye contact with something looking at me from the polluted area beyond Lue.
Now, something with facial features turned upside down, as if it doesn’t even intend to imitate the human form.
I don’t understand.
I don’t even want to understand.
Those emotions mix here and there, making my head dizzy.
What on earth is that?
That…
That…
As I was confused, I heard Rue’s voice
[Why is Quartz next to these abominable traitors?]
What kind of bullshit is this?
