Elves of Alfheim245? Elves of Alfheim #5
“Hassan, then I’ll go to Nemea! I didn’t do my homework, I’m in big trouble!”
“What kind of training assignments are there?”
“I told you that in order to use spider venom, you have to take your dog outside for a walk. But I didn’t. I’m going to get in trouble.”
It was Luna, shaking her shoulders. I was quite worried because of the name Nemea, but her class seemed to proceed normally, which was very strange and suspicious.
So after breaking up with Luna.
That afternoon.
I told the story to Kalidur, whom I met again in the gardens of the Temple of Venus.
I explained in detail what I did at the tavern, how I fought the elf guys, and what I heard from them.
“I told you I kicked that kid’s knee, dodged it, hit him with my shoulder, and then struck him with my fist?”
“okay.”
Shhhhhhhhh-.
But the guy just gave me a cold answer. He was probably distracted by something else and not paying attention to what I was saying.
“What are you doing now?”
“I’m watering the flowers.”
Kalidur was watering the flowers and trees in the garden of the temple of Venus. He waved a small watering can back and forth, spraying thin streams of water onto the ground.
“The name of this flower is Cellicoli. I heard from Sister Hersey that if you water it under the hot sun, it will emit a delicate powder like this.”
Indeed, as the boy had said, flower buds resembling silver bells were seen scattering strange pollen.
Sigh-.
The scent was nice, like I had sprayed Febreze on it, but that wasn’t what was important to me right now.
“I told you they did that to you?”
“okay.”
It felt like reading a sutra to a deaf ear.
“You little punk, are you an idiot?”
“okay.”
“What a piece of crap.”
I realized that none of what I had said so far had entered this guy’s head, because Kalidur seemed completely absorbed in watering the flowers.
“Mr. Kalidur! We need to water other places besides that!”
“All right.”
And I had a vague idea why. It must be because of the woman named Hersi who was watering the flowers and trees on the other side, just like Kalidur.
“It hasn’t rained much this year, which is a big problem. I’m sorry for making Mr. Kalidur share my work.”
“No. The pursuit of coexistence between nature and living things is the Hinayana philosophy. It was a meaningful and good time.”
“Then wait a moment in the shade of the tree over there! I’ll bring you a cold, wet towel!”
After saying that, Hersi ran into the temple of Venus and disappeared. Kalidur watched her in silence.
However, the guy’s eyes are as cold as ever and his expression doesn’t change.
I don’t know how I feel, but when I see this cold-hearted person, I feel like I’m in a bad mood because he seems like a psychopath who stalks women.
“Hey, Kalidur. Did you hear everything I said?”
“Brother, I heard everything. That you were victorious in your fight against Dermode.”
“Yeah, I guess I didn’t completely ignore it.”
“Dermode is a rising star among our monks. You are truly amazing for having defeated Dermode and made him admit defeat.”
“Well, the memory of when I fought with you helped.”
Kalidur and Dermod’s actions were identical. So I simply responded based on what I had already experienced in the confrontation with Kalidur.
In that sense, I decided to give this guy Kalidur a higher score.
Perhaps this guy is truly unbeatable, at least in one-on-one combat. He might even have the upper hand on Hippolyte.
Of course, Hippolyte would say, “A first-class fight has many variables.” It would be foolish to predict the outcome until the final result is determined.
So what would happen if we fought this guy and the skeleton knight called Weapon Master?
That guy is a skeleton, so he’s far from human. But he has arms and legs, so he has a human form. So while I was wondering for a while, Kalidur said something.
“You said the final battle was tonight?”
“okay.”
“That’s how it ended up being. I knew that they wouldn’t understand. They are the ones who follow their mother’s words as the truth…”
“If you are a mother, the world tree?”
“Yes. It’s a giant tree located at the center of the world.”
The center of the world.
Come to think of it, the elves often seemed to think of themselves as the center of the world, and the people of this continent of Gaia as some kind of barbarians from the outskirts.
To those guys, a Samaritan like me would have been just a barbarian from the outskirts of the country. I might not have seemed human.
I asked, feeling like I had a vague idea why Elfriede had been beating and hitting me so hard.
“So you’re finally going to catch Elfriede tonight?”
“No, I can’t. I have plans with Sister Hersey tonight.”
“Oh, a promise? Maybe we’re going to have dinner together?”
“I decided to help clean up the temple.”
What, I thought we were going on a date or something. But then I thought about it and realized that dating wasn’t really that big of a deal.
When I first met Luna, I was happy just being with her, even if we didn’t have to go out to eat at fancy places.
I see myself from a few months ago in Kalidur. Indeed, there may be nothing more important to him than the girl named Hersi right now.
“But, they said they were going to finish the work today.”
“Sister Hersey is to be baptized as a full priest in two days. So, today. At least until tomorrow, if you can postpone the matter. Brother, may I make an additional request?”
“My commission fee is expensive.”
“Brother’s body is strong, but there is one thing lacking. It is that he has focused on his upper body and dexterity, and has not yet reached a certain level in his dharma skills.”
“The law?”
“Walking is the most basic and important thing. If you help me with this, I will teach you the method that I have personally learned and mastered.”
It’s a law.
I thought back to how Kalidur had approached me without a sound.
Were only this guy and Hippolyte the two who could silently follow me, who has a rather sensitive sense?
“What should I do?”
“For today, it will be enough for you to hide Elfriede. It will be enough to tell her to go and leave this city.”
“If it’s to that extent, shouldn’t you say it yourself?”
“No, we are-, our mother’s dogs.”
Kalidur ended his speech with that.
There were more things I wanted to ask, but I felt that the guy’s cold expression was even more stiff than usual, so I kept my mouth shut as well.

A silver rose that escaped from the abyss.
They said that they were recovering from their condition after receiving treatment at a clinic run by wealthy alumni.
I heard that he suffered a major mental blow for some reason, but it didn’t seem to have any major effects on his physical abilities or his adventurer life.
“Hey, I heard. You went into the abyss with me to save me?”
As I went to the garden of forget-me-nots at the Dongmun Clinic, Delphina and her colleagues lying in the four-person ward looked at me.
Looking at them wearing the cool, fluffy gowns typical of treatment centers, it seemed like they were simply recuperating rather than providing treatment.
“Delphin, are you hurt or anything?”
“What, are you worried about me now? You seem more considerate than I thought.”
“Based on the nonsense you’re talking about, it doesn’t seem like there’s a problem.”
“Well, that’s right. But just in case, it’d be better to take a week off. We’re not in a position to go around and make a fuss. Damn, the inspectors from the palace are coming. The Knights Templar, the inspectors—. That’s why I hate big cities.”
Ah, I want to go back to Calcata – that was Delphina, grumbling as she sat on her bed and stretched out.
Swish.
Thanks to that, the front of the guy’s gown was slightly disheveled, and his upper chest and white armpits came into my eyes as if they were piercing.
It’s very messy, either because it was neat from the beginning or because it was well organized.
But as I was pretending not to see him and keeping my expression hard, the clerk, Lily, who was swinging something like a dumbbell on the bed in the corner, said something.
“Delphin. The man saw your breasts and armpits.”
Subal, is it some kind of CCTV or something? How did you know?
I had a feeling that if Delphina had said to the guards, “I saw that bastard licking my armpit!” I might have been taken away and interrogated.
But Delphina said lightly, straightening her disheveled collar.
“Oh? It’s okay. I showed you on purpose. You went through all that trouble because of us, so we should at least provide that much service. It’s not like it’s worn out.”
Delphina is a more generous person than I thought. Indeed, being the party leader of a silver-rank adventurer team requires this level of generosity.
“award-.”
At that very moment, the woman who had been quietly staring at me, just like the fighter Lily, opened her mouth. It must have been the sorcerer, Edwin.
“You can touch my chest-.”
No, is this true?
I was honestly a little embarrassed. Letting you touch my chest. This wasn’t the purpose of my coming here. It’s a good thing Luna isn’t here. Of course, of course I’ll decline this offer.
“I am-.”
“Phew-.”
“Phehheh.”
But soon the girls burst into laughter, and I could tell I was being made fun of.
This is a hospital room for four female adventurers. It’s like a den of female lions. And I’m not a male lion, I’m a gazelle.
The gazelle is so damn weak.
“Ah, this was fun for once.”
Delphina, who had been laughing for a long time, said while gently touching her cheekbone with her thumb.
“So, you didn’t come to see us, did you? You came to meet Elphie?”
“okay.”
“It must be nice to have a man who comes to see you, Elphie. Why don’t we have one?”
“Not for that kind of romantic reason though.”
“okay?”
I took a quick look around the hospital room.
These guys were adventurers from the Silver Tier. And they were Elfriede’s current companions. Honestly, when I first saw them, I couldn’t believe that the picky Elfriede had permanent companions, not just daily party members.
To Elfriede, allies were simply those who she could use, and those who also approached her using her firepower or for other purposes.
But these guys seemed a little different.
As Elfriede’s colleague, she is more than qualified to pass the test.
Of course, it’s funny that I, a nobody, am the one giving those scores, but anyway, the point is that these guys are pretty trustworthy.
“I heard that today, those who are after Elfriede will attack.”
Kalidur’s request was to postpone Elfriede’s capture until Hersi had taken her vows as a priest. If necessary, he would also have to consider using force to stop the elven pursuit party.
It is true that I subdued the giant elf Dermod, but it would have been impossible to deal with the female elf Mimir who was next to him, or the taciturn Daltor.
Kalidur said that we should be especially careful of that guy named Daltor, the Lightning. Since that guy is what he said, it would be best to assume that Daltor is a fighter of considerable skill.
In that case, I think it would be a good idea to make a few colleagues as well.
Did Sister Hippolyte say she was busy dealing with the aftermath of her escape from the Abyss? Well, then I can count on one hand the strongest guys I know.
And among them, the ones above are these guys.
“The elves of Alfheim, hmm-.”
Delphina, who had been wearing a playful expression until just now, seemed to be deep in thought after hearing my explanation.
“I knew that Elphie was being chased by her pursuers. I guess I’ve been too noisy lately. If I end up fighting those guys, I’ll really lose the face to face with your Majesty.”
“Aren’t you Elfriede’s comrades? Then you should protect them.”
“Yes, we are comrades. But before we were comrades, we were also adventurers of Calcata. Ha, there are too many things to consider, so it’s difficult. Elphie is on death row… .”
To Delphina, who seemed troubled, neither the martial artist Lili nor the sorcerer Edwin said anything and just remained silent.
Is this why my plan to join forces with them is going awry?
“You guys, if you’re Elfriede’s comrades, you should be a little more passionate. Are you saying that it’s okay for Elfriede to be executed like this?”
“That’s not true, though.”
“Elfriede seems to believe that you will be with her until the end. You shouldn’t say such things.”
“Well, that’s true. What are you so excited about? Calm down.”
“Am I excited?”
I realized that I was out of breath. I guess I had gotten excited without realizing it. When Elfriede’s work got involved, it was hard for me to calm down.
As I was catching my breath and calming down, Delphina pulled out her sword from the scabbard next to her bed and checked the blade.
The guy says.
“Hey, Samaritan. What if our attitude changes depending on how you answer?”
“My answer?”
“You said that this mission was to protect Elfriede. But is that really all?”
