Volume 2, Chapter 3 Part 7

(Wha……-!)

Sumika’s eyes opened wide from how Elfiena that they should protect exposed herself to the enemy.

“Wh, why…, did you come out……-!”

Elfiena answered Sumika who leaked out impatience with a quite voice.

“I’m sorry. But, it’s fine already.”

“Fine… you said, what do you…”

“It’s an unreasonable story in the first place. Something like a harmony between humans and fairies. …Even though I know that, I forced that unreasonableness to all of you humans for the convenience of us the [Fairy race]. …Yet despite so, Sumika-san risked your life until this far to protect me who is so selfish like that. Now… that feeling is more than enough already.”

“――-!”

Sumika comprehended from those words.

What Elfiena was going to do coming to this place.

“Before coming to the human world, I was trembling in fear. There is no way that the humans who had been so thoroughly trampled by demons until now will willingly welcome me. Just what kind of terrifying experience I will meet, I kept feeling uneasy and always cried in the place where there was no one who can find me.

But… right now I am convinced.

Even though it’s impossible right now or in the near future, someday humans and fairies can surely understand each other.

Because, there are kind people that risked their lives for someone like me among the humans. I don’t know how many years, how many tens of years it will take in the future, but such a day will surely come.

―That’s why in order to greet the day that will come someday with a smile, I want to protect, the important friends of the [Fairy race]. As the leader of the [Fairy race]. And then, most of all― as I myself.”

Correct, the girl was… intending to surrender herself.

To the people who were coming intending to kill her.

Everything, was for the sake of protecting Sumika and the others.

“~~~~~~~-u”

Sumika tried to yell in attempt to stop her, but her voice couldn’t turn into words.

Her lung was squashed, there was no air left even just for letting her voice out.

And then while Sumika was yelling with garbled voice,

“I surrender to all of you. There is no need for fighting anymore. Please let go of Sumika-san…!”

Elfiena finally said out the fatal sentence.

Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness that couldn’t be described by words seeped into Sumika and Chikori’s hearts.

But―the reality was even more callous.

{――Hoho. Ohohohohoho, hohohohohhohoh!!!!}

Elfiena words made Alafaro’s body that was enlarged with the power of an angel shake, he returned back a guffawing laugh filled with mockery.

“Wh, what is it?”

{Who will not laugh from something like this? Just because you who don’t know anything is surrendering then I will let them go… hohoho. Stuu―pid. Just who will do that.}

“Wh, why are you……-!”

{Why? Why you asked? That’s obvious isn’t it. I’m an agent of divine punishment, a <Special Missionary> you know. It’s only natural to kill a demon like you. And then, killing the renegades who lend their hand to demons is also only natural. There is no way we will let even a single one live and return back.}

“That’s……”

Correct. In the first place Elfiena was making a misunderstanding.

They were not coming here to kill Elfiena.

They were coming to this place to massacre everyone that was here.

Just by offering the life of a person among those targets wouldn’t become a valid reason to save the other people.

That was why,

{Of course I will also kill you. Right after I kill this little girl-!}

Alfaro wouldn’t stop.

Ignoring the words of Elfiena,

{Divine Punishment・execute――}

In order to crush Sumika who was inside his palms, he put in even more strength――
