GoE 75 Like Cats and Rats

GoE 75

... 

Elle took a deep breath. Looks like the conversation with Ellder next time will take longer than usual. Even though Ellder knew that Elle had just returned from Space, it did not at all make Ellder give Elle a little leeway to have her rest. 

Ellder is cruel! 

Precisely what Ellder did was put more pressure on Elle. The more sour Elle's face was, the wider Ellder's laughter became. They are like cats and mice who cannot recognize the word peace. 

"Barbarian Clan and Croa Peninsula Remote Tribe?" Elle repeated Ellder's sentence. 

"Right. After all, you have no other choice, do you?" Ellder smiled mysteriously. 

  Apparently, for Ellder keeping Elle even more busy was one of his hobbies. Ellder, it's not that he doesn't want to understand what Elle's job is as a Guardian of Etter. But Ellder also couldn't just let Elle go and do whatever he wanted.
