“Listen, Anna. No, everyone here. Listen to me.

From this moment on, I, Eljeta Tresias, will step down from the position of the Elven Chieftain.”

Everyone present froze at her words.

“Oh, here we go again.”

Except for Rageta.

As Eljeta spoke, Anna, who had been frozen, snapped out of it, her head trembling with shock from her mother’s outrageous statement.

“Mom! What are you even saying right now!”

“I said what you heard.”

“You’re stepping down from the position of the Chieftain?! Then who will lead the Elves!”

“Originally, it should have been you, but as someone who just follows behind the hero without any qualifications, you are not fit to be the Chieftain. Therefore… Alhama!”

“Yes, yes! I am the Chieftain!”

At Eljeta’s call, a muscular male elf came forward and kneeled down.

“You shall take over the seat of the Chieftain.”

Alhama Trejin.

The next generation of the prestigious elf clan, the Treisias Clan.

“How can someone like him become the Chieftain…”

“You will be able to handle it perfectly.”

“… I believe you will come back. Until then… I, Alhama, will strive to ensure that the absence of the Chieftain is not felt!”

Seen in this light, it was a truly heartwarming scene.

“Mom!!”

Anna, who heard that she was unqualified in front of the hero, was not interested, but she had still believed it was hers, only to have the seat of the Chieftain snatched away right before her eyes.

From Anna’s perspective, it was the worst possible scenario that should not have happened.

Ignoring her outburst, Eljeta took out a bow and dagger symbolizing the Chieftain and handed them to Alhama.

Not in front of all the elves.

Not an official procedure either.

No elf here could deny the birth of the new chieftain.

As everyone lowered their heads in respect towards the new chieftain,

“Mama!! How can this be?!”

Anna’s voice echoed as she frantically waved her hand.

She immediately tried to snatch the bow and dagger made from the branches of the World Tree from Alhama’s hands to stop the tyranny.

“No! Your Highness!”

“It is the will of the Chieftain!”

“Let go!! Release it!!”

Several elves grabbed Anna’s arms and legs, restraining her.

Amidst the commotion, the ceremony came to an end.

“I, Alhama Trejin, hereby declare that I have become the new chieftain, inheriting the will of the former Chieftain Eljeta Trishias.”

“How could this be…”

Anna Trishias, the warrior who had participated in the party as the daughter of the Elven Chieftain,

Had become a mere ordinary elf.

A despairing elf collapsed onto the ground.

An awkwardly smiling elf basking in everyone’s cheers.

Hooray! Hooray! Shouted the elves.

In the raucous forest filled with all kinds of elves, my actions were like a blip.

“R-Run, everyone!!”

I held Olivia and Eli’s hands and fled without hesitation.

I wanted to take Lagheta along, but I only had two hands, and besides, she could find me with her magic anyway.

As we were about to escape the forest, taking advantage of the elves’ distraction,

“Wait!”

A boy’s voice caught onto our ankles.

Among the countless beings in this place, there were only two boys.

One was me.

The other was Olivia’s son and the warrior, Dre.

Even Olivia, who had given up on meeting him, flinched and stood still at the sound of his voice.

No matter how determined she was.

Even Olivia, who had steeled her heart.

Holding on to each other and looking into each other’s faces as they talked could shake their hearts.

So they tried to ignore it and go.

“Darling, can you give Mom some time?”

Inevitably, I let go of her hand and nodded.

“Thank you for trusting me, Mom.”

She smiled and patted my head before turning around and standing in front of Dre.

They were a family connected by blood.

Olivia had her appearance changed by Rageta’s magic.

Dre had grown up apart from his mother for a long time, so his appearance had changed too.

They were a family connected by blood.

“What’s wrong?”

“Um… I’m sorry, sister. I must have misjudged someone.”

She spoke as if she was having a conversation with someone she just met.

“No… it’s okay.”

As Olivia swallowed her tears and spoke, Dre smiled warmly.

“By the way, sister, you’re really beautiful. Our mom is also really beautiful.”

“Um, thank you.”

Dre, feeling delighted, tried to say something more, but a white-haired beauty approached and put her hand on the child’s shoulder.

“Dre? Anna is looking for you.”

Although her face was filled with regret, Dre sadly smiled, accepting that it couldn’t be helped.

“Then, see you later, sister!”

As Dre waved his hand and moved away, Olivia also waved her hand towards him.

“See you… my… knight…”

Her trembling hand stopped when she saw Dre’s back.

With no strength left, it dropped.

If left alone, she would have collapsed on the floor and cried, so I unknowingly approached and held her hand.

Olivia jerked her shoulders, surprised.

Our gazes met.

“She was about to cry, huh?”

Her nose turned red.

Moist, blood-engorged pupils.

A tightly trembling mouth, barely opened.

She seemed to be struggling to hold back her tears.

When I lightly pulled her hand, her body followed me.

With the help of Lekata’s power, we escaped amid the chaos.

If there’s a problem.

“Great chieftain. Would it be alright for you to leave like this?”

“I am no longer the chieftain, so there’s no need for such formalities.”

“Hah, Hana…”

Even former Chieftain Elzeta, who casually answered Hana’s question, ran away with us?

“Why did you bring her here in the first place?”

With a face full of complaint, when I glared at Lekata, she awkwardly smiled.

“Oh, I, I didn’t know that woman was suddenly going to give up her position as chieftain, what~?”

Ah, she’s going to act so shamelessly?

“Sylph, please just relay my message.”

Olivia, boasting an infinite fortune.

Eli, boasting exceptional swordsmanship.

Lekata, boasting perfect magic.

Even in this fantastic party, there is one peculiar thing.

Namely.

“Ajumma! Diarm will sleep alone tonight. Rent a separate room!”

“D-Diarm?! What are you saying?!”

A clinging so intense it’s unbearable.

When I declared solitary confinement.

“Leckata-nim!! What on earth did you do to the child?!!”

“Lekataa!! What are we going to do about this?!!”

Everyone’s arrows were aimed at Lekata.

Of course, from the perspective of the tower’s owner, Olivia or Eli’s words would probably have no effect, but media play is a very important strategy.

If she realizes that there was something wrong, and blames herself.

Even if her influence is insignificant, if others themselves blame her.

“What, what will make you feel better? Huh? Should I show you my chest? Do you want to touch my chest? Or should I breastfeed you?!”

Our great High Lord also learns how to apologize.

Though his approach may seem a bit twisted…

[Tell it to Lady Elzeta properly!]

“Okay, okay!”

[If you explain it well enough for Diem to accept, we’ll drink together!]

“Really?! Come on, let’s make a pinky promise with Mom!”

Before I could change my words, she eagerly extended her little finger to receive my answer. I chuckled at her appearance, as if she wanted to get an answer quickly.

Everyone was looking in surprise, seeing the great High Lord, who usually intimidates people, showing such a sight as if he was going to sleep in the same room as me.

I almost felt a sense of arrogance.

I almost had impolite thoughts.

I almost felt like I had become someone important.

“Stay true, Diem. No, Choe Young-soo.”

Haven’t we seen many people make fun of others and end up being made fun of themselves?

Since I had no choice but to be the one in question, I nodded my head and made a pinky promise with La Geta.

After receiving the promise, La Geta sighed in relief, then turned her body with an expression of annoyance.

“Haah… Elzeta, I’ll explain it just once. Listen carefully and understand it well.”

La Geta was indeed competent.

Not because she wanted to do anything…

Having listened to her perfect explanation, Elzeta frowned and looked at Olivia.

“So… the human over there is Olivia, the mother of the hero…”

Next was Ellie.

“The human over there is Ellie, designated as the guardian of that Olivia…”

Finally, she looked at me.

“Is Diem the real child they captured to act as the mother and son?”

“Yes, that’s it. I’m the one they dragged into this mess.”

As La Geta nodded and shook her head, the magic that had covered us disappeared.

“Oh my… it’s really Lady Olivia. It’s been a while.”

“It’s only now that I can greet you. Lady Elzeta.”

That’s how everyone understood and had a happy time~

“And it was supposed to end there.

‘Ha. Where have you been and what were you doing, you old hag?'”

Just a moment ago, on the large tree trunk that no one had been on, a black-haired girl appeared.

She roughly tossed away her hat, which was larger than her own body, and it disappeared with black magic, vanishing into the wind.

Right now, we’ve undone all the magic.

Olivia, as well as Lageta and even my own face, returned to their original appearances.

But a stranger appeared?

Hastily, I drew my shield to block Olivia in front.

“Do we really need to do that?”

I remembered who Lageta was.

She’s the one even the Demon King fears.

Could she have not known the whereabouts of another person’s hideout?

Not that she didn’t know.

“Yeah. So, how about you stop following Mom and start being independent, my daughter?”

It’s probably right to intentionally show this situation.

When Lageta casually spoke, the woman on the tree disappeared.

She closed her eyes and, when she opened them, the woman was standing beside her.

“You knew other spells, like teleporting through shadows?”

“Evading is necessary to avoid getting killed.”

“Did you toss Mom’s education about killing the enemy before you die into the trash?”

“I’m not a monster like you.”

A conversation that’s hard to imagine as being between a mother and daughter.

The girl spoke calmly.

Arwen’s gaze turned towards me.

“Diarm, the possessor of remarkable abilities. And the child who tempted the Great Overlord.”

Uh… that’s a bit too blunt of an explanation, isn’t it?

When I looked at Lageta with a questioning glance, she smiled and stood next to me.

“It’s okay, Arwen. No matter how lacking you may be, you’re my daughter, right? You should know that if you carelessly spill the beans, not only your own life but also the hero you like could be in danger, right? Isn’t that so, my dear daughter?”

…”

Could any mother in the world boldly say that she would kill her daughter and the man her daughter loves…?

“Moreover, the warrior is Olivia’s own son…”

“Well, isn’t it about time for you to return? Your beloved warrior is desperately searching for you~”

“Tsk!”

Arwen, with a stern face, stuck out her tongue at me, and black magic rose, erasing her body.

After Arwen left, Lageta kissed my cheek and said as she wiped her cheek.

“With this, Arwen will take care of all the troublesome matters~”

Wow.

Why is it that the people around me always hit me?

It’s really the worst being the one getting hit.

But when I become the one hitting…

It feels so good!
