VOLUME 1 – CHILDHOOD

Where is the Elf Canyon

Somehow, it’s important … maybe… i dunno.

NT: I’ve… been thinking of starting to “translate” (if we can say that what i’m doing is translating these novels properly) “The God of Killing of Level 0» (although I think I was wrong in the name … it could be «The Killer of Gods of Level 0» … I’m still checking), the novel written by Koneko-sensei (the author of “The Villager of Level 999”) about which I talked to you some time ago.

Honestly, I thought someone would start translating it after the Light Novel came out, but… nothing.

I’m still not sure, taking into account how I do all this (“translating” i mean…)… also, Lv0 is a bit… special, I mean… it’s an extra. It was something that I began to translate to cover the empty space that remained some days when I could not finish the translation of the chapters of a novel whose chapters are particularly long (Din) and … although its chapters are not too long, it is something that I update a few times, I say, a chapter every 3 weeks from now…

But well, what do you think about? Have you read the novel? no? What if you start reading it now.

NT2: Also, sorry for the delay, my internet (wi-fi) died and I had trouble dealing with all that … (somehow I managed to do something with the internet of my cell phone)

〘Didn’t you say last week that you would talk about the “Negligence Syndrome (Hemispatial neglect)” today?〙

〔I am not in the mood for that〕

〘But-…〙

〔I’m, not, in the mood〕

And those were me and my inner voice.

I am sure there will not be a day when I am more tense than today.

I was walking on the outskirts of the mansion.

While making sure to walk silently so as not to be noticed by anyone, I muttered.

「… I didn’t think leaving without permission could be so exciting」

It reminds me of something that happened in my past life.

It must have been when I was still a high school student.

During the Christmas midnight, I try going to see an R-rated movie.

「I’m going out! Jo ◯ yo!」

NT: I have no idea what he meant by that, it was written that way (ジョ◯ョーッ！).

NT2: R-rated movies would be movies not suitable for children under 17 without adult supervision

After shouting that, I stepped badly on one of the steps of the stairs and rolled up to the first floor.

My mother was silent when she saw that stupidity.

On the other hand, my father shouted, «Stay Dead.»

If I think about it now, I think I could have accomplished something if I tried to give some excuse at that moment.

However, the circumstances of this moment are different.

Everyone here is an overprotective family and close friend who wouldn’t let me out for any reason.

It was getting dark right now.

This is the moment when security begins to decline.

Because of that, I didn’t have much trouble slipping away.

I don’t want to worry Shadiberga.

And it’s awkward to bother Wokins.

But still, I must go.

「… An elf arrived at the nearby town」

One of the articles I am trying to obtain is the so-called 『Elf Elixir』.

As the name implies, it is a type of medicine created by elves in their place of origin.

In addition to humans, Elves are the most common race among all.

However, they did not have a good opinion about the world due to the oppression of their race.

In addition to them, there are also other races, such as the Dragûn*.

NT: Yeah… I had a little problem with this. I prefer not to go deeper into this now, so I will just clarify that instead of Dragûn, there I should say «Dragon», taking into account that in the raw was written «Dragon» in English with Katakana (doragûn), but I had some problems with that and. .. Well, I’ll explain everything correctly when they appear (in volume 2).

Even so, the most important thing at this moment is the medicine of the elves.

There are many elven villages scattered throughout the continent.

Among them is a village called the 『Elf Canyon』, which is one of the most mysterious one.

A sip of that elixir is enough to allow someone to be active day and night for a month.

In addition, if it mix with the 『<ruby>Ryûjin No Saji<rt>(Dragon God’s Spoon)</rt></ruby>』, this elixir becomes a medicine capable of cure any existing disease.

Long ago, a queen was affected by a disease they called Eternally Incurable.

No kind of recovery magic had any effect on her and everything seemed to be over.

Then she happened.

One day, a woman arrived carrying the 『Elf Elixir』 and the 『<ruby>Ryûjin No Saji<rt>(Dragon God’s Spoon)</rt></ruby>』.

After deciding the distribution of these, the woman prepared a medicine and gave it to the queen.

Then, the Queen quickly recovered, and the king began to cry with joy.

Over time the story ended up becoming no more than a legend, but the efficacy of that medicine was still guaranteed.

So it should certainly be effective.

Even if it is Sefina’s disease, to which they have not yet found a cure.

Then, there is only one thing left to do.

I must go, I must go meet that person.

The only person who could have a clue about the 『Elf Canyon』.

「But, the town is really pitiful.

Public safety also seems to be quite bad」

This town is so depressing that it causes me to release my complaints involuntarily.

It is so depressing that it would need to be rebuilt in order to change something.

I guess I’ll try to do something about this someday.

After walking for a while I arrived at the place I was looking for.

「It’s here?」

I was in front of the only inn in this town.

I heard that the elf was staying on this site for some reason.

Originally, the elves seemed to be a rare breed, which was very popular among the nobles.

However, when I say popular, it is not in a very good sense, to the point that it is best not to talk about it anymore.

When I entered the inn, I was greeted by a good-looking man who was at the inn’s counter.

I was fascinated with his muscles.

I wonder if he was a mercenary.

I could see several scars scattered throughout his body.

「Excuse me. Is this where the elf is staying?」

「Ah? That’s right brat. But if you want to stay you have to pay」

「Well, I’m this kind of person」

After saying that, I showed a small knife to the man at the counter.

It was a good quality knife which had a silver sword and a gold shield engraved.

This was what recognized me as the nobleman who ruled over this territory.

In other words, it was the emblem of the Din family.

This knife was the object that proved my identity.

When he saw the knife, the man at the counter let out a cold sweat.

「… Hah!? Are you from the Din family…?」

「It would be bad if it had been a lie, so I want to know if the elf really came here」

Somehow the locals had learned that an elf was here.

If so, surely the bandits also found out about it.

Those guys won’t ignore anything that can give them some money.

There are many who consider elves a gold mine.

Not only would the inn be in danger if someone came to town with intentions of taking the elf, but even the inhabitants could end up in danger.

Even if I could hear the rumor about this quickly because I didn’t live too far from here――

It could already be too late.

「Un-Understood! The Elf is staying on the second floor, on the right side」

「Alone?」

「Alone」

「Thank you. I’m sorry, but I can’t give you anything in exchange for the information at this time, despite being from the owner’s family」

I tilted my head honestly.

If I am not polite, I could end up bothering the receptionist.

I understand that

It’s like the time I saw the blog of an old classmate I hadn’t seen for a long time.

At that moment I knew that all the graduates of the class, except me, had gathered in a group of alumni.

After that I only went to drink.

At that moment I had a smile from ear to ear on my face while drinking.

It was something I will never forget.

I remember regretting not having made many friends after that.

「Do-Don’t do that. You don’t need to bow your head」

「I’ll make sure I do something to reward you one day, I promise you」

「I appreciate that.

I could still enter the army as a volunteer.

Well, it’s not like I’m going to let my wife’s inn fall apart」

「Ah, do your best in that case」

I leaned once more and climbed the stairs.

Although I had begun to help Shadiberga little by little at work.

It’s hard for me to get results.

I wonder what I should do to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of this town.

I guess it would be best to try to talk about it with Shadiberga.

After reaching the second floor, check the bottom of the doors.

There was some light coming out of one of them.

「… Good」

I have heard that elves are closely related to their families.

In addition, it seems that the Canyon I seek is considered a sacred land by the elves.

There is a great possibility that whoever is staying at this inn knows something about its location.

Even if the elf found here says doesn’t know anything, I just have to insist and keep asking until I discover something.

This is just the first step.

「Excuse me」

I knock on the door and enter.

The room was not entirely clean and had a strange smell.

It seems that the inn owner does not usually clean the rooms since visitors do not come very often.

Because of that, my desire to interact with the receptionist to improve his business becomes more and more distant.

「Nn? … no one?」

After entering the room I found no one.

I wonder if he left.

Although the sun had already set.

When I looked at the window, I could hear the creak coming from the bookshelf behind me.

At that moment my instinct sounded a danger alarm in my head.

――He comes from behind!

I quickly turned around.

Then I opened the shelf.

It was big enough to hide a person.

Carefully check the inside of it.

Then, inside was―― No one.

Yes, there was no one.

In its place there was only a shiny silver thread.

「… Nn?」

The thread was hung in such a way that it seemed to be inviting someone to pull it and fall into a trap――

―― *<ruby>Fon*<rt>《air cut》</rt></ruby>.

My ears caught the sharp sound of the air being cut quickly by something.

At that moment as a shiver ran down my back.

I quickly stepped aside.

Then I could see the silhouette of a person and his hair floating in the air.

It is a bandit.

「Hey, that was dangerous!」

「Oh? Did you avoid it? Let’s see how you do it with this」

After saying that, the bandit began to swing his sword against me.

It was at that moment that my survival instinct was put into action.

I started gathering magic power in my hand and activated the magic.

「Flickering flames orbs, penetrate deeply into my enemy―― 『Gun Fire』」

Then, from my hand I fired a fireball which looked like a bullet.

*<ruby>Batchi*<rt>《clash with sword》</rt></ruby>. The sound of an explosion was heard when the fireball hit his sword, sending him to fly.

The explosion caused no other damage.

Even so, it is not something I can use lightly.

「Damn! Try that with this sword!」

*<ruby>Jackin*<rt>《unsheathe》</rt></ruby>. Before I knew it, he had already drawn his other sword.

It was unexpected.

Why will he have two swords? It might be a spare.

It seems that I have no alternative but to use magic again.

It is said that if you find a cockroach somewhere, surely there will be another 30 hidden around.

Even if I manage to get rid of his sword, I can’t assure he doesn’t have any other hidden weapons.

I have no choice but to defeat him now.

This time try to activate area magic.

At that moment, the person in front of me noticed my appearance――

「… Ah, wow. A child?」

The person opened his mouth slightly surprised.

Then, he lowered his sword and sheathed it.

I couldn’t help but stop conjuring my magic when I saw him do that.

「I-I’m sorry. I thought you were some bandit who followed me here,

I had already been attacked while walking around you see」

「I don’t like the idea of being killed by a misunderstanding like that…」

While stroking my chest, I noticed that the person before me was actually a girl.

She had short golden hair and pointed ears.

Her blonde hair reached her shoulders and gave the impression of dazzling when the sunset came.

It was an elf girl.

「I’m Isabel.

An elf who came to inspect the nearby towns. What’s your name?」

So her name is Isabel.

On the other hand, it seems that elves have no last name.

On the outside she looks like an 8-year-old girl, but, due of her way of speaking, I think she really is about 17 years old.

But, taking into account that the age of the elves cannot be determined simply by how they look, it is possible that she is much older than that.

Both, their speed of growth and their life expectancy are different from that of humans.

Or well, that’s what I heard when I tried to ask a middle-aged man about the age of the elves.

『They were already hanging around these lands during the time your great grandfather was born』

Or well―― At least that’s what he told me.

The girl named Isabel could be much older than she looks.

「I’m Regis Din. I am the son of the fallen noble」

Isabel’s ears shook slightly at the moment I introduced myself.

At the same time, she began to look at me cautiously.

Ah, possibly because I present myself as a noble.

It is well known that elves have been much coveted by them after all.

「I’ll tell you at once, he doesn’t plan on doing anything to you.

So don’t feel so alarmed」

「Won’t you report me to your family? I am an elf after all」

「There is no one with that kind of taste in my family.

I also don’t want to do something that might bother others」

「… He~h」

Isabel began to stare at my face, as if she was trying to understand something.

After a long silence, Isabel let out a sigh.

She seemed to remain on alert.

Since things did not progress, I decided to go directly to the important point.

「I came to this place to ask you about the location of the 『Elf Canyon』」

「The Canyon? That place is the holy land of the elves. Is that the place you are looking for?」

「Yes. Could you tell me where it is?」

「Nn…」

Isabel had a complicated look.

Then, after thinking about it for a few seconds, he decided.

「No, it’s useless, the law says we can’t tell humans」

「Is it impossible, even if I ask?」

「It’s still impossible. By the way, why do you want to know where the 『Elf Canyon』 is located?」

「… I want… Elven Elixir」

At the moment I said the name of the article.

Isabel’s expression became more tense.

As expected, the elves are much more related in the after all.

「Is it for a relative?」

「Yes, it’s for my mother.

Her vitality began to decline after giving birth to me, the reason was 『Disease without Return』」

「Do you feel responsible?」

I shook my head from side to side the instant I heard that.

「No. I don’t feel any sense of responsibility nor do I see it as a mission.

However, if someone close to me is in trouble, I can’t help but want to do my best to help」

「He~h, but what a good boy」

Isabel said that with a slightly impressed tone.

But she didn’t seem to be trying to be sarcastic nor was she trying to make fun of the situation.

She was just declaring her own impression.

But still, your answer did not change.

「But still, it is impossible.

No matter what the reason, the Elf Canyon is an inviolable sanctuary.

If I revealed its location to a human I just met, I would be insulting the rest of the members of my race」

「… I see. I understand」

Going further than this will not change anything.

Continuing to insist on the issue will only make it more problematic to deal with the issue.

At this step I will have to look for some different method.

After saying that, Isabel gave me a dubious look.

「Oh? Are you giving up?」

「It’s late, so I’ll go home.

But. I haven’t given up yet」

「That’s the spirit. I’ll be waiting until that time then」

「I appreciate it」

The chances of her telling me where the Canyon is, even if I stayed here and kept insisting, are practically nonexistent.

The best thing will be to come back at another time.

In addition, it will soon be the time at which Wokins will see me in my room.

It is best to return as soon as possible.

「Also, be careful with bandits.

There have been rumors that they have been hiding in the nearby mountains.

You should also know how sensitive bandits are with the information」

「I know. I’ll be leaving tomorrow, so don’t worry」

「*Guh*, tomorrow!?」

「Yes. I guess we won’t see each other again. Goodbye boy」

I wish you had told me that from the beginning.

If so, I would have preferred to keep trying to discover something.

I can’t just waste this opportunity after having found it.

But, she also does not intend to tell me anything about it, there is no point in continuing to insist at this time.

Damn, even though finding an elf is a very rare thing.

Why am I so unlucky?

I can’t help remembering what my situation was like in my previous life.

Like that time when, when I got on the train, I just got into the car where all the sick people had gathered, and there is also that time when a metal beam fell on me and ended up killing me.

Thinking about it only made me depress even more, then suddenly look outward from the window.

A strange atmosphere covered the town.

That convinced me.

There was still something I could do.

「… Tomorrow I’ll see you outside」

「Is it okay for a noble to take as much freedom to go out as he pleases?」

「Never mind, you don’t need to worry about that」

「I understand. It’s the first time I’m going to meet someone.

Alright, see you then」

I straighten my posture and left the room.

I couldn’t keep causing her problems.

When I finally came out in front of the inn, I let out a deep sigh.

I think this is a great opportunity.

However, it is not yet time.

When that happens, I will have an opportunity to do something about it.

Yes, it seems that the people behind Isabel are approaching.

… If they plan to do something, it will be tomorrow.

I must be careful.

With that in mind, I returned home.

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
