02 ◆ An elf girl who missed me
=======================
Hegel Ois, a great thief who pretended to be a friendly and gentle priest for two years.
I was about to be killed by him, but on the contrary, I killed him.
And it was a little elf girl who appeared at the scene.
No matter how you look at it, the current criminal who killed the priest.
"Actually, the priest tried to kill me with a big villain, so I tried again."
I don't know what excuses are valid. Maybe it doesn't work. At least soon.
Looking at the elf girl trembling with a trap, I was, I was--.
Let's go back home.
I celebrated my 15th birthday and triumphantly came to the church in the town.
The loneliness of heaven.
Once you have the unique skills you can use, let's say goodbye to such a rural town.
Get a job in your hand and become a little rich! (I'm not a rich man, I'm humble)
So, I came to the church in the centre of the town.
"Mel-Kun!"
"Gube"
A small person rushed into his belly while calling my name.
I endured the feeling of vomiting and pulled off the little one.
The rolled eyes looked up at me.
The long silver hair slipped through my fingers.
Innocent facial features of about 10 years old.
A cute girl like a moving doll is an elf Silfina.
"Kyo, I'm full of energy today, Sylphy ..."
"Mel says, 'Always be fine.'"
"That's right. You're clever."
When I stroked my head, Sylphy just said, "Do more."
She is an orphan.
I was taken to this church by my priest about a year ago.
I have lost my memory and only know my name and approximate age.
"Mel-kun, what are you doing today? When will it end? Can you play after that?"
Sylphy who folds questions. I can't refuse innocently if my eyes are shining.
"Fufufu, you asked me a lot. Actually, today I'm doing a 'blessing ceremony'. Don't play after that."
Oops, Sylphy's eyes shine.
"What will you be an adult?"
"... There are various interpretations of adult', but you can think of it as one of them."
"What else can I do to become an adult'?"
"Eh? No, well ... various, various"
I only answered vaguely.
"Oh? Isn't it Mel? Are you still in such a place?"
A lonely man came out of the church.
Mr Rowe who lives and handles chores.
Although it looks like a laid-back Yuu, it seems that he used to be pretty naughty. It seems that the priest's place has become quite round.
Maybe he was carrying a heavy object, he was hitting his waist.
"Father is waiting. You see, I went early."
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Then Sylphy. I'm going."
"Good luck!"
Sylphy was more enthusiastic than I was and sent me off.
That's why.
The elf girl who appeared at the scene of the murder of the priest-Silfina is very fond of me.
She could have made excuses that wouldn't normally work, such as "In fact, the priest tried to kill me with a big villain, so I tried again."
"Sylphy, listen. This is ... this priest-- !?"
I interrupted the story and pulled out the knife from Hegel's breast.
Immediately rush towards the door.
"... What?"
Sylphy sees me approaching herself with her frightened eyes.
I pushed out the tip of the knife-towards her back.
"Chi! Mel, you!"
It was Rowe who was there.
Let's sort out the situation.
First of all, the reason why Sylphy first came to such a deep place.
She wanted to know the result of my "Blessing Ceremony" early, she was wandering near the room. There, he heard the voice of the priest calling Rowe, and went to call Rowe and brought him.
I read Sylphy's information and learned that much.
Then, this time, Rowe's action.
The church choreographer appeared from behind Sylphy, and when he learned about the indoor situation like her, he immediately tried to attack Sylphy. When I saw it in "Appraisal", I intended to "hold Silfina as a hostage and block my movement".
And this one--
=====
Name: Low Barry
Title: Minions of the Great Thieves
=====
"Are you a member of Hegel ..."
I tried to protect Sylphy and held the knife.
"Hmm, did you hear from Hegel's husband? I wonder why such a kid would kill me. I was too careful."
Rowe held in the middle waist in the position where he jumped out.
I check his condition with "Appraisal".
=====
[State]
I can't do my best because of back pain.
It is unpredictable how Mel Reilute killed Hegel Ois.
Be wary of the unique skills that you may have just acquired. Take Silfina hostage while drawing attention in conversation.
=====
Are you still aiming for Sylphy?
I got blood on my head and attacked myself.
Rowe does not have limited skills. Unique skills are "body art" and "superhuman strength". Both ranks are C. I read it and steal it.
In response to my rush, I foresaw the movement of the hungry guy who "checked with a jab and turned to the right" and sneaked under Rowe's fist.
I hit my shoulder against the waist that he was hurt.
"Kukyo!"
Rowe made a crazy voice and collapsed on the spot. He held his hips and struck painfully.
"Guu ... hey!"
While gasping for pain, he glared at me with a terrible appearance.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill with Silfina!"
It's bad. If you deal with someone who has such a murderous intention, no matter how much you can anticipate the other person's actions, there may be a chance.
However, I knew the danger and kicked Rowe's waist.
With one shot "Gua!", Two shots "Beard", three shots "Cho, stop ...", and the fourth shot, Rowe stripped his white eyes and blew bubbles.
There was no help for it. This guy was trying to "call someone out loud".
For the time being, let's leave this place before someone comes. Think about what to do after calming down ...
And my sleeve was pulled tight.
Sylphy is looking up at me with frightened eyes.
That's it. Don't leave this child.
From the conversation with Rowe, I learned that the priest was Hegel, a great thief. If you leave it here, you won't know what Rowe will do when he regains consciousness. No, he will surely kill Sylphy. For mouth closure.
It's a wise Sylphy. From the conversation and situation between me and Rowe, I think I understand it.
In fact, she is begging for "take me with me".
Besides, this child...
"Let's go, Sylphy"
I held Sylphy's hand.
She tied her thin lips tightly and nodded loudly.
Leave the church and go behind the scenes.
I stole the wagon and jumped out of the town.
For the time being, I returned to my house (a house on the outskirts of town), gathered money, clothes, blankets and food, and pushed it into the wagon.
Immediately get on the carriage and start running east with the town behind.
Anyway, far away.
I just kept running the carriage without thinking about sprinkling chasers poorly.
Along the way, explain the situation to Sylphy.
"Yes, what ... Yeah, that's right."
Sylphy's reaction was like that. It seems that he trusted me without having to read his thoughts in "Appraisal".
I intended to run all night, but the horse was the limit.
When I entered the second forest, I decided to take a rest from the highway to the side of the stream.
This area is still within the range I know.
It's not easy to go far.
Eat bread and dried meat under the starry sky.
It's not very delicious, but honestly, I don't know the taste at all.
I killed a person.
Although the opponent was a big villain, even if he tried to kill me ... Yeah, that's right. I was about to be killed. If you fight back and kill, it's a legitimate defence. Yeah, that's right.
I convinced myself.
But, after all...
Gently touch my hand with a small hand.
"Mel is not bad"
I felt that my body became lighter. The black thing that was pressing against my back seems to be washed away.
"Thank you..."
But at the same time, I feel guilty about involving a kind-hearted girl.
"Mel, what are you going to do now?"
I was hungry when I saw the blue eyes swaying with anxiety.
"Does Sylphy want to go home?"
"eh?"
Sylphy suspiciously shook his neck.
"I don't remember, so I don't feel nostalgic or lonely ... Yeah, I'd love to see it once."
I stood up quickly.
"Okay, let's go."
"Eh? Well, even if I say I'm going, I don't know where my hometown is?"
The number of elves is much smaller than that of humans, but villages are scattered all over the world. It's true that I couldn't find it until now when the only clues were my name and age.
"Actually, I know a little about Sylphy's identity."
It is written in her [Title] column read in "Appraisal".
"You are--"
=====
Name: Silfina Est Philianis
Title: First Princess of the Kingdom of Philianis
=====
"It looks like a princess in an elf country, right?"
It felt like there was some elegance in the eyes.
