98 – Yggdrasil (4)

I knew that the Demon King’s army would attack of course.

Didn’t the author indirectly show the future with a compensation message?

But, I never thought it would be this fast.

“Princess, can you tell me in detail what exactly we discussed?”

“Yes. All right.”

At the end of her words, she told me about the meeting with the elf.

***

30 Minutes before meeting Elric.

The princess, Rosewyn, followed Elin in her steps.

She was worried because Elric said he was going somewhere else for a while, but she must have trusted her that much.

So, she must somehow establish a good relationship with the elf.

That time when I followed her and took her steps.

“We have arrived.”

Before long, she had arrived at her destination.

The princess looked at the building in front of her for a moment.

For a place where the elf elder and queen lives, it looks no different from any other building.

As if she wasn’t the only one who felt that way, the students around her also had the same expression.

‘Still… The security is thorough.’

It’s just that the building is no different, but the energy of the World Tree surrounds that building.

It seems that the World Tree is trying to protect the Elf Queen.

“Guidance has been completed.”

“Yes. Please bring it in. Elin.”

Elin entered the building with the princess and her party.

The next moment, a woman who looked similar to Elin appeared in my field of vision.

Just by looking at her appearance and feeling of energy, it is clear that she is Elin’s parent.

“Welcome. Roswin von Hawarden. “This is my first time seeing you in person like this.”

“Yes. Yes. By the way, I never thought that the Queen would give us such preferential treatment. Until now, I thought elves didn’t really like humans.”

She is a princess who says that while smiling brightly.

The queen smiled and responded to her words as if it was nothing.

“hehehe. That can’t be possible, right? “There are several reasons for maintaining neutrality, but one of the biggest reasons was to minimize damage.”

“Hmm…”

To be precise, this is probably done to minimize damage to Yggdrasil.

This is not an easy opponent.

As an elf, she is older than her appearance.

If I were to guess roughly, it would be 3 digits.

So it won’t be easy to deal with him.

‘If I had been at the wrong age, I would have easily burned it.’

At that time when the princess thought like that.

Her “I can hear the sound of her head rolling from here. Princess.”

The queen smiles softly and says.

Two people looking at each other while smiling.

-Pazizik.

Sparks flew between the two for a moment.

Soon, the princess opened her mouth first.

“So what do you think? About the alliance with the empire?”

“Hmm. “It’s not bad.”

“······.”

“Let me place only two conditions.”

Sure enough, the queen does not want to comfortably form an alliance.

The princess tilted her head as if asking her to speak.

Then, she opens her mouth.

“First, return the elves kidnapped by the humans of the First Empire back to their original state. The reason we did not help the empire is because of what I mentioned earlier and another reason. There were many cases where humans’ ugly desires were directed towards us elves. Of course, from our perspective, there is no reason to help humans. “This happens even if we don’t form an alliance, but if we form an alliance and interact more actively, how many kidnappings will we get?”

“······.”

There is nothing to say in this part.

As she said, didn’t the corrupt nobles in the empire sometimes kidnap elves using money and power?

The reason they were not investigated properly is due to the recent movements of the Demon King’s army.

However, if Yggdrasil wants to form an alliance, he needs to move right away.

And before that.

“Well, fortunately, it’s as expected. Margaret. “Have you contacted me?”

“Yes. They say they rescued the captured elves.”

The princess, who roughly anticipated what the queen wanted, gave orders to the knights in advance.

She told him to investigate the shadows and rescue the enslaved elves.

Hearing those words from the princess, the queen looked somewhat surprised.

“After all, it’s not for nothing that there’s a rumor that he has extraordinary brains, right?”

“This is something that anyone can predict, regardless of how smart it is.”

“Yes. Anyway, then secondly, I would like to add a law to the empire.”

“You mean the laws of the empire?”

It’s nothing more than a situation where an elf asks to add the laws of the empire.

In some ways, it is a very sensitive issue.

No matter how much an alliance is formed, you are asking for another country’s laws to be added.

But.

“Let’s listen first.”

Since the Demon King awakened sooner than expected, an alliance with the elves is essential.

When the princess spoke as if asking her to speak, the queen spoke in a very serious tone.

“Please add that the punishment for men who kidnap elves is to cut off their mischievous thoughts.”

“Uh, um…”

For a moment, she looked around to see if there was something wrong with her own ears.

Seeing as the other people’s expressions were not much different from his own, he seemed to have heard correctly.

“Uh…Is that okay?”

“Yes. “Other than that, it doesn’t matter.”

“Hmm. “I thought you were going to ask for something big.”

“It’s a big enough request. Of course, this is based on men’s standards.”

The male students bowed their heads in agreement with her words.

-At that level, it’s just like the death penalty.

-That’s right.

-Suicide might be better.

Looking at that reaction, it seems like a pretty big request.

“Yes. Well, I understand. “Then is that the end of your request?”

“Yes. “There is nothing more than this.”

“Hmm…”

What is it? Why does it flow so easily?

To be honest, I expected it would take a few days to form an alliance.

Until now, Yggdrasil has never formed an alliance.

‘Something feels uncomfortable, though.’

In the end, nothing was lost by forming an alliance with Yggdrasil.

The only thing that can happen is that the corrupt nobles can be cut off.

Compared to that, it is rather an advantage.

The princess and the queen each took out a scroll of the contract.

We spoke at the same time, without even having to say who went first.

“Yggdrasil forms an alliance with the Hawarden Empire.”

“The Hawarden Empire forms an alliance with Yggdrasil.”

The moment the two people finished speaking, the scroll glowed.

Completely disappeared before my eyes

So an alliance was formed with Yggdrasil.

If someone betrays first, one of them will die.

When she feels satisfied within herself.

“Ah. But I forgot to say this. “The devil’s army is coming this way now.”

“Yes…?”

“Are you going to help me?”

The queen smiles warmly.

The princess thought, raising the corners of her mouth.

When will I give this queen a beating?

***

After hearing the princess’s entire explanation, I let out a shallow sigh.

Then, the princess lowered her head with a sullen expression.

“I’m sorry. Professor.”

“No. To be honest, I didn’t know that the devil’s army was already invading. “If it were me, I probably would have been fooled.”

Honestly, having seen the future, I also didn’t expect it, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the princess took a hit.

“Anyway, the reason the elves weren’t hostile to us was because of the Demon King’s army. “They said he didn’t show any signs of hostility.”

“I see. Ha.”

“Well, think positively. Anyway, since the Demon King regained his strength unexpectedly quickly, wouldn’t he have invaded here at least once?”

“Yes. That’s right. Still, the back of my head feels tingly.”

“Ahahahahaha. That can happen in life. Anyway, where are the rest of the students?”

“You can just go over there.”

After hearing her words, I went into the store she pointed to.

Then.

“I thought all humans were ugly, but that’s not true. “Look at how cute it is.”

“Ehehehe.”

“Sisters. What did I just say to the professor? Try to win! “I was even recognized by the professor!”

“Kyahahahaha.”

I saw male students chatting with beautiful elves.

I feel so good that I even blush.

I approached Kun, who was bluffing.

“And I just stretched out my fist like this and hit the professor…!”

“Just what?”

“You just gave me a bowl of ink bowl… Huh?”

“?!”

The next moment, the boys’ faces suddenly hardened.

And Kun, who was the most ostentatious of them all, turned pale.

“Uh, Professor? “What’s going on here?”

“What? For some reason. Of course I brought you here to drag you away, right?”

“Yes? What?! “I can’t believe you made me come to heaven like this!”

“That’s right! “How could you have such devilish thoughts!”

Students who are rebellious unlike usual.

Hmm. The unfortunate thing is that there is no bamboo spear.

However.

-Tduduk!

Even without a bamboo spear, it is enough to subdue these guys.

“I’m sorry. “I’ll take them with me for a moment.”

With those words, I would have beaten the rebellious students and dragged them out of the store.

***

Same time.

The Demon King’s army marching toward Yggdrasil.

Among them, Leviathan, a staff member, asked the Demon King who had set himself on fire.

“Demon King. “Can I ask you one thing?”

“Hmm. “Okay, something?”

“Yes. “It is simply because I want to ask why you are attacking Yggdrasil first.”

It is natural that Leviathan does not know why he is attacking Yggdrasil.

Hasn’t Yggdrasil always maintained neutrality?

But.

‘There is no reason to leave the place where that decisive battle weapon was made.’

However, Leviathan would naturally not know Elric’s weapon.

The Demon King quickly made up the excuses he came up with.

“Because the Empire and Yggdrasil may form an alliance.”

“You’ve never done anything like that before, have you?”

“That’s right. But, that was only before I regained my strength. Perhaps the elves and dwarves also realized this. “If things continue like this, they too could become a threat.”

“I’m sure then we will form an alliance.”

“Okay. But before that, let’s hit it first. “If the two forces form an alliance, it won’t be much of a bother.”

Leviathan listens to her words and understands.

The Demon King closed his eyes and thought.

‘Yggdrasil will be destroyed tomorrow.’

I breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that a second decisive battle weapon would not be created.

I didn’t even know that a second bamboo spear was being born in Yggdrasil.
