Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

Gi waited still as she sat alongside Aisha in a poor quality bed. After a while, Aisha, who understood that Gi was really unwilling to do harm, spoke pompously of the situation to this day.

Aisha, who had lost her parents and had no relatives in Wang capital, was taken with her sister to this orphanage. Not so many days have passed since Aisha and the others came to this place, and for the first few days, they thought it was a normal orphanage with no weirdness whatsoever. In fact, the people who manage this place seem to have been very kind to me at first.

But that was only for a few days when officials were stationed to see if the orphans were being treated legitimately, after which they were hardly fed, and days awaited when they would be used like slaves.

"Besides, your sister hasn't been home for three days."

"You didn't take me somewhere else, did you?

"I don't know, but I haven't been out since they took me upstairs"

"During magic, what kind of guy is that?

"Yeah. Only the dean can open it over there, and I think maybe he's inside."

"I see…………"

Wrinkles between Gi's eyebrows. I don't really want to think about it, but this orphanage seems to be a facility that uses children illegally and cruelly. When that happens, Aisha's sister is likely caught up in it, too.

"Brother, uh..."

"Gi."

"Bye, Gi, brother. You're a friend of the Holy Prince, aren't you?

"Well, what's wrong with that?

"I hate princes."

"Am I?"

Aisha shrugged, holding her knees with both hands.

"Because even though we're having a hard time, the prince won't even look at us. Even if the prince is cool and strong, he doesn't realize we're here."

"……… it's hard to be human."

"Eh?"

Aisha looks strangely at the side of Gi with the hood on.

Because of Gi's position as a chief, I understand the hardships of those who stand above him. However, the elves tend to live independently on a settlement basis, and there are no more clustered numbers than Helifarte. You can't rule a country like this on your own. When I think about it, I get awe of Milan, Schburn, and Serene.

"As things stand, the Holy Prince may not be able to help you, but Princess Moonlight doesn't seem to be either."

"Sakohime? Who's that?"

Not answering Aisha's question, Gi gets out of bed. This is what Gi thinks after talking to Aisha and figuring out the situation. Instead of Milan and Schburn, who were too busy to see the details, Serene cared about the cry of powerless things like Aisha. Then there is one thing you should do.

"Wait a minute. I'll let your sister see you."

"Gi, brother, are you really going to help me?

"Oh, thank you. It's like I'm here for that."

"Um, did someone ask you to be Princess Moonlight?

"Ma, that's the place."

Seeing the light of hope dwelt in Aisha's eyes, Gi replied with a thin smile. Gi tells Aisha to stay in the room, and when she leaves the hallway, she returns to the fat man who was at the entrance.

"Is that it, sir? Is it over now?

The man has a fond smile, but Gi ignores it and turns to the door.

"Hey, who's that weird guy at that door?

"Huh?"

In the direction where Gi is pointing, the man turns his neck. Gi slaps his knife on the neck of a man exposed to defenselessness. The man didn't even groan and passed out as he was.

"It's troublesome when it gets noisy. Sleep tight."

Break the hem of the fainted man's clothing and use it to tie the man's hands and feet. While I was crossing the hallway, I was sharpening my hearing, so I know that there is no other presence on the ground floor that is likely to interfere.

- No, there's only one thing. Gi sighed in the tiny footsteps of what was likely to stand in its way.

"Gi, brother, you're strong!

"Idiot, I told you to wait in your room"

Gi pounded his tongue and turned his face towards Aisha, who approached him in his footsteps. He predicted to some extent, but he still couldn't wait very long.

"I'm going too! 'Cause I'm worried about your sister!

"Okay. But don't leave me."

"Ugh, yeah."

Aisha answers with a nervous face. If something like what I heard was being done, it would not be good to take Aisha, but it would be better to leave her alone and act on her own later.

Judging so, Gi stood first to protect Aisha and ascended the old staircase in the center of the building. Gi proceeded sneaky enough not to make a noise, but Aisha made a squeaky noise, making him look stupid on the way up the stairs normally.

The second floor was more beautiful than I thought. The building itself is in season, but it seems to be quite well cleaned. But that's only to hide the acts that are taking place behind it. Most of them would be kids like Aisha and the others. Earlier, the figure of Aisha, who had been forced to throw away a huge trash can that didn't fit her height, floats behind Gi's brain.

"You're surprisingly clean."

"Yeah. Sometimes officials come to see me, so they tell me to keep it clean. Because if you don't, you'll be pissed off..."

"Damn, I can't hide the unpleasant smell in the back, even if I just look clean."

"Huh? You don't smell anything, do you?

"(After all, humans don't get it. It smells like rotten eggs)"

Gi, with a magical power that was not comparable to humans, noticed that there was something behind the second floor that emitted rotten odors. So once he's out of his mind, Gi turns to Aisha.

"But you don't seem like anyone but the fat guy downstairs"

"Because I'm leaving at night with the dean, except for the replacement."

"Is that it? I thought you wanted that fat guy to buy it today, except for you. Why isn't anybody upstairs?

"That's a lie. I've seen strange people come here every once in a while, but I've never seen anyone give me money at the entrance except my brother Gi."

"(What? That's very different from what I heard in the rumors)"

The rumor Gi heard was that it served as an illegal entertainment facility. But from Aisha's mouthfeel, it's not that kind of atmosphere. I don't think it's ever a good thing.

On the side of the hallway upstairs, there are several rooms, all locked with old wooden doors. Gi reaches for the door nearby, but naturally none of it opens. Aisha, they have kids upstairs, but they're never allowed to leave except on the night cleaning duty.

"Is this about escape prevention?"

'Cause if you leave it open at night, there's gonna be bad guys.'

"What's wrong with people coming? Bad guys don't do that."

Even though she is in a clear lie, Gi ignores the door for a moment and goes back. It's a pretty big building, but on the ground and second floors, the building doesn't change. But in the back of the second floor, there was only one door different from the others.

"Is this the magic room?"

In front of Gi was an iron door that drew a line with the doors of the other rooms. The surface is painted with a geometric pattern, faintly glowing to intimidate the Gis. Even amateurs can see it as a caged door of magic.

"He said it's the dean's management room here. It's hard for officials to get in because they have important documents."

"How does it open in response to the magic of someone who says" Incho "?

"Yeah. So we have to wait for it to come out, what are we going to do?

"I'll do this."

Quickly, Gi lays his hands flat on the pattern and pours his magic into it. At the same time that Pan, and something can play, the flash runs enough to think it was just daylight there for a moment, and soon returns to darkness.

"Huh!? What are you doing?

"Broke it."

When Aisha sees the door from Gi's back, which she fears, there are just black burnt marks on the surface of the iron door. Now the Magic Door just ranks down to the Iron Door.

"Books, people are rubbish when it comes to magic."

Aisha has a pompous mouth open, but Gi hands the door knob in the wind of nothing. If you look from the elf gi, it's just a graffiti on the wall, such as the pattern of the magic blockade. If this was Zana, she would have turned it off so beautifully that she didn't even know there was a pattern.

"…… I knew it wasn't like a rumor."

When Gi opened the door just a little and looked inside, the sight was still very different from the rumors of the city. Middle-aged downstairs said it was to prevent the exposure of impure behavior, but it doesn't seem to be such a peaceful room of purpose.

"......... What, this?

"At least, it's not a room to enjoy the reunion."

The interior of the room, known as the Between Magic, was one big room with about half of the building slammed through, where the children were collared and rolled like dogs. No child seems to be in a very good nutritional state, and everyone stares at Gi, the intruder, frightened.

"Ah, Aisha!?

"Sister!?

One girl raised her voice out loud as she noticed Aisha watching from behind. Apparently, she's Aisha's sister.

"Here, don't scream too much in the middle of the night... oh, this is a rare customer"

One black shadow appeared from behind the room, whether he had responded to Aisha's sister's cry. Although the moonlight does not penetrate through the small window, and it is a dark with little light sources, I am used to the life of the White Forest, and at night Gi can clearly recognize the figure of the man.

"Isn't that more decent than I thought? I'm out of my mind."

"If you think you've been intruding in the middle of the night, you're a lot more abusive. From me, you're more of a freak."

It was the old man with a serene expression who appeared at the centre of the room in a relaxed gait. He would be quite old, but his spine is also perfectly stretched, and if you see him in a tailored suit, he is the gentleman himself, at least in appearance. But in this room, it looks unusual.

"You're the mastermind. You've been collecting things like money for the kids, haven't you?

Gi asks, but the old man just shrugs his shoulders and laughs. That reverses Gi's nerves.

"Kim? Do you think I want such a dick?"

"Oh? What are you talking about?

"This is an order from my servants. If you do this to your children, it's easy to save negative emotions."

Despite the presence of a man in a hood with no specialty, the old man does not break his laid back attitude. To find out from there...

"Are you a fool enough to afford it, or a strong one?"

"Absolutely, you're a really rude person. Suddenly you enter a people's room with earthfoot, and you're out-of-heart to be called a fool. I don't know how you snuck in, moonlight, but will you pay for your rudeness with your life"

"Sneaked in? I let you in through the door, didn't I? From what I can see clearly in your attitude. This is a rotten swamp. Sometimes it takes purification."

"Purification! Is it purification! Ha ha! This is someone who says funny things. This is how I am cursed and gather ingredients to purify the world of men."

"... What are you talking about, you?

"You won't understand our purpose, and you won't have to explain it. Well, it's a corner, and may I ask what your name is? We need to reinforce security."

"Name? If you want to know who I am, there's a better way."

With that said, Gi largely removed his hood. Red eyes, white skin, and long ears touch the outside air. The old man was also somewhat surprised by this, which only opens his eyes a little. Aisha needless to say.

"Brother, what about those ears!?

"Oh… are you a rumored elf in the city lately? I see, I can also say that I broke the door of the magic blockade."

Even the children who were rolling on the floor will be nailed to the presence of the elves they see for the first time, but Gi stares at the enemy directly in the front.

"I don't care if I'm an elf or not. I don't know what you're doing, but let the kids here go. If you do, I'll make sure you don't die."

"I see, Lord Elf is driven by righteousness and you tell him to let the children here go. Otherwise you'll give me painful eyes. But is that really going to do you good?

"Don't make a mess of it! You think a human jizzy can beat me? Or what? Buying time to beg for your life?

Gi tries to stick his canine teeth out, but the old man controls it with his hands.

"Fair enough, calm down a bit. If you were just a person, I would respond quite a bit for mouth sealing, too, except when it comes to you being an elf. Why don't you make a deal with me?

"Deal?"

To the suggestion of an illegible man of intent, Gi lurks his eyebrows, but the old man smiles softly and spins his words.

"Yes. It would seem like a profitable deal for all the Elves. You don't like humans, do you?

Without breaking his gentleman's attitude, the old man smiled gracefully and threw his words at Gi.
