78 – You must never provoke the Kamps (9)

We were banished from the forest immediately.

In a way, it is natural. For the elves, the world tree was a being close to a god. A guardian and providence of nature that protects their nest without any conditions.

Although there was a condition to accepting an elf as a sacrifice. There was no way other elves could know that. If you think about it like that, it was rather fortunate that it ended in deportation.

However, the contaminated World Tree was dealt with. However, not everything was resolved. Rather, it was just the beginning. Because they have to go forward without a world tree.

“Exile. Probably won’t be seen in the forest from now on.”

“I guess so.”

“Do you have any regrets?”

“Yes, I have no regrets.”

“I see.”

Before leaving, Cluna had a small meeting with Amelie. At first, I thought what would happen if we hit each other and fight. Fortunately, the meeting started in a calm atmosphere.

“How did you come to see me?”

“You’re picky~ Well, what’s the matter?”

“It was a mistake to touch my daughter.”

“I know. But, I have no regrets either.”

For a moment, Cluna and Amelie met each other’s eyes. The upright momentum that did not back down collided and put pressure on the surroundings. It was Clara who was able to stop it.

“Mom, I’m fine.”

“Clara…”

“I can’t forgive you for manipulating me. I understand, aunt.”

“Are you still calling me aunt?”

“Yeah, after all, my aunt was trying to save her mother.”

“……You’re naive, Clara. Or are you a fool?”

This time Clara tried to run at Amelie. Cluna managed to block it. I’m looking at them. She looked like a bad friend, not just an enemy.

However, Amelie made the wrong choice. She was willing to sacrifice her everything for Kluna. And Clara was also included in it. She’s bound to be her enemy.

After that brief competition, we boarded the wagon right away. Soon the horses galloped forward with a roar. With the momentum of the horses, we just sit quietly.

“Are you both really okay?”

In the carriage, I brought up a sensitive subject. It was about being banished from the forest. Amelie would be punished, but she did not immediately receive the huge punishment of banishment.

According to the elders. Dedicating people was the right decision at that time or something. Certainly, I wondered why those b*tches kept appearing from beginning to end. There were things like that.

“Is it to shift the blame?”

“Yes?”

“Nothing. Than that is my answer?”

“I’m fine.”

“Me too.”

Cluna and Clara did not regret leaving the forest. I even made up my mind to leave the forest in the first place. Because I’ve seen a lot of things so far. They didn’t waver.

In the end, that worked out for me. At least it won’t rebel like the elves’ forest. Unlike the girls, the Elven Forest said they would remember this incident.

“For the time being, the relationship with the elves will be rough.”

“I can’t help it.”

“Because ignorant belief is a scary law.”

Right now things will go badly for you. Still, I believe that the day will come when we can reconcile again. Because this game meta was like that too. Eventually I left alone again.

“By the way, I could never have thought he would run out of the forest already.”

“Is that such a surprise?”

“Of course not.”

Of course it’s joining the story. Aside from that, elves have a reputation for being very conservative. Just as he defended the world tree system even if he put a knife right in front of his eyes.

The evaluation of the elves won’t change much either. Even if they had to resurrect the World Tree again. I let out a sigh. He was a pretty annoying guy.

The wagon we rode in continued running without a break. There is also a way to return by using the forest road. It was a difficult method to use because Cluna and Clara were too tired.

Because the fortress has been empty for quite some time. I was the one who thought that if I went back this time, I would just shut up and sleep. Anyway, when we were almost there, Clara looked uneasy.

“Do you have any problems?”

“No, it’s just a little awkward.”

“Awkward?”

“Yeah, I don’t know what to say.”

“Aha.”

I ate and laughed. Come to think of it, when Cluna left the letter and left. Clara was very angry in front of everyone. Maybe he’s ashamed of what he looked like back then.

“Don’t worry too much. Not everyone will think too hard.”

“That’s right, right?”

“Well, yes. Of course I remember everything.”

“Captain! It’s too much!!”

“What are you talking about?”

At that time, Cluna, who didn’t know the circumstances because she left first, tilted her head. I was caught trying to explain her to her and was caught by her Clara. Something noisy though.

It wasn’t a bad atmosphere.

And as expected, let’s return to Lionheart Fortress. Everyone greeted us without caring. Especially when they confirmed that Cluna was with them, they were barely relieved.

“I’m not wrong, right? Everyone welcomes me.”

“……That’s right. The captain is right.”

“Well, I’m sure you’ve forgotten all about the old days.”

Of course, it’s too recent to say it’s old. At my words, Clara blushed and turned her head away. It seems that he was persuaded by my words. If so, that’s it.

“Good work, Captain.”

“Thank you for working on my behalf, Captain Yu Ren.”

“What. This much is nothing.”

Captain Yuren shrugged his shoulders and said. However, this time, Captain Yu Ren also had a lot of credit. Because he did an excellent job as acting general manager on my behalf.

If it wasn’t for her in the first place. I wouldn’t have pretended to be crazy and ran into the elven forest. Because without the leader, nothing happens. Anything else special?

“Come to think of it, there was an unusual request.”

“An unusual request?”

“Yes. I haven’t dispatched because I still have time. I think it’s right to read the contents first.”

Yuren said that, and she handed me a letter. Damn, it makes me not take a break. Because I couldn’t complain openly. Instead, I accepted it with a frown on my face.

* * *

I really owe a lot to the captain.

From the time I first met the general manager until now. I couldn’t dare to pay for the favor I received from the leader. Coincidentally, her mother and daughter were thinking the same thing.

From Clara’s point of view, she is a great leader who has rebuilt the fallen Royal Knights. From Cluna’s point of view, she was the savior of her family, who saved both herself and her daughter.

The captain said. When I go back, I think it would be nice to have a lot of conversations with my family. They agreed with the captain’s words. So, as soon as they arrived here, they entered the room.

Of course, there were a flurry of questions from my colleagues. It was none other than the leader who stopped it. You’re indebted to the captain again. Thinking so, Cluna first took her luck.

“I’m sorry.”

“Huh? What?”

“It doesn’t always talk to you. It moves on its own.”

“…….”

I thought it was for my family. After all, the most important thing to her was her family. However, she forgot that her family was hurt by it.

If this wasn’t the teaching I received from the captain. I couldn’t have noticed Clara, who was surprised by Cluna’s apology, answered Cluna with a bashful smile.

“I’m really sorry. I didn’t listen to my mother.”

“Clara…”

“So, let’s promise it won’t happen again.”

“Yes, I will.”

Laughing, Clara responded to her outstretched little finger, and Cluna responded with her little finger as well. The promise made by weaving our fingers held a much heavier weight than it seemed on the surface.

“By the way, what is the captain supposed to be doing right now?”

It was just a simple curiosity. It’s natural to wonder what the person you’re interested in is doing. However, an unexpected reaction came back.

“Everything, Captain? Why is that story all of a sudden?”

“……???”

Clara narrowed her eyes. The answer that catches the floating clouds that I didn’t know because I was embarrassed. A reddened face and even a lost gaze. No matter how you look at it, that was all there was.

“Mom, by any chance…?”

“Hey, he too! What are you trying to say in a manly way?!”

“No, it’s okay. I understand.”

I understand. Don’t fully understand In the first place, wasn’t his mother in an arranged marriage? Of course she wasn’t there and she couldn’t be said to have no love at all. It’s been a long time.

Also, the leader was definitely a handsome man, even to the point of falling in love with him as an elf. Take responsibility for the words once spoken. Because he is a human being who never runs away under any circumstances.

“But I have no intention of conceding either.”

“Clara? You mean, you too?”

“Right. Somehow, that’s how it happened.”

Cluna looked at Clara in silence. Clara didn’t avoid that gaze either. Is it an illusion to feel that sparks are flying in the middle? No, it would not be an illusion.
