CH 141

“I’ll tell you everything from the beginning, so listen up.”

I said, cutting through the buzzing. It seemed that no matter how many hours I had, it wouldn’t be enough to get to Zeros-sama.

First, I explained in order that the Spirit King had asked for my help, that I had rushed to the scene and found the dragon demon and Zeros fighting alone, that I had given first aid with the elixir I had on the spot and that an unknown stranger had burst in when I was about to put an end to the dragon demon. I explained in detail.

“Was the stranger a demon?”

“I don’t know.”

“Even with the two of you there, it pulled that off?”

“It did.”

Judy and Tiya, in that order, asked questions. In fact, I might be able to beat the unknown enemy on my own. But there was a lot of uncertainty, so I brought Zeros-sama back with me. If it had been just the three of us, without Zeros, and we were in the land of the elves,  I would have fought without hesitation.

“So what do you plan to do about this boy?”

“He’s going to live here for a while, under the guise of studying abroad.”

A few of them frowned. Of course, even among the less numerous elves, there are factions. In general, there are two factions: the Spirit King is absolute and the ‘Elves are No.1! and humans in particular are maggots!’ factions. Of course, there is a law that the person who has made a contract with the Spirit King becomes the king. But there are also those who refuse to allow a human to become king. By the way, of course, Tiya, Judy and I are in the absolute faction of the Spirit King.

“What will be your reason for allowing a human to study abroad?”

“When I learned that a dragon demon had been born with a certain skill, I went there to try to bury it before it gained power and found a very good magic user wounded but still engaged. Then something happened and I let the dragon demon escape. I’m going to send a letter…… asking them to send the wonderful magic user who was fighting the dragon monster alone, to study at the elf village so that he can be healed as well.”

“I see…”

After that, we talked about silly things like whether it was really the Spirit King who came to me, or whether it was wrong to allow humans to stay in the Elf Village when it was already a problem in itself! They were talking about silly things like that. And they didn’t say it directly to me, but deliberately said it in an audible voice while glancing at me. It was very annoying.

“I’m going to make this clear, because some people misunderstand. I’m just being nice and telling you first so that you don’t get confused about the decision. I’m not asking for your opinion.”

“That’s too much…”

“This is the opinion of the three of us. If you have a problem with it, go ahead and say it.”

“………”

I spoke, interrupting the words of the fire child who had started to complain. If I say this, everyone will not be able to say anything. I, Tiya and Judy are the top three power in this village. We are incomparable to the strength of the wind child, who is said to be the fourth strongest in the elf village. Even if there were hundreds of the Wind child, they would not be able to defeat us. We’re not normal elves anymore. In other words, we are on a different level. If they make enemies with three of us, they risk the destruction of the elves in the worst case scenario. That is why there are few who would dare to oppose us.

“Dismissed.”

After saying that, the three of us hurriedly headed for Zeros-sama.

“Lightning bastard! It’s because of your weakness that the Spirit King and Zeros were put in danger! Do you understand that part!”

“It’s because Zeros is still weak that this happened!”

“You’re a disgrace to the spirit world if you blame the contractor for your lack of ability!”

“If you had signed a contract with Zero, would you have won?”

“I’m a top-ranked nature spirit, I could have won!”

“Quiet, both of you, calm down!”

It was very noisy in Zeros-sama’s room. It seemed like a fuss that shouldn’t even be thought of in front of Zeros-sama who was sleeping.

First of all, the Lightning guy(Zeal) and Nei were arguing. The Spirit King was desperately trying to quiet them down. And Artel, the top-ranking spirit of the shadows who has made a contract with Tiya, was looking at Lord Zeros from a distance that almost collided with his face. The top spirit of gravity, who is under contract with Judy, was floating in the air, watching Zeros.

“If Nei and Lightning are going to be loud, get out of here right now.”

“E, Emily!”

“Lightning?”

“Shut up. Do you want to leave?”

“”I’ll be quiet…””

They were surprised by my anger but kept quiet. From there, we all confirmed the information in whispers. After that, the three of us decided to take turns for eight hours each to watch over Zeros-sama to ensure his safety. In fact, the three of us wanted to watch over him all the time, but we had a lot of work to do, including reporting to the Kingdom of Lingalia, so we had no choice but to take turns.

Three days later, Zeros-sama finally woke up.
