Chapter 201
“oh! Human! You are back!”
As if waiting for it to come out of the realm of the World Tree, Kanna jumped up and ran, stamping her little feet. And while she was conveying Melissa\'s message to Jae-young, she stopped talking with a startled look on her face when she saw the spirits floating around Jae-young.
“Melissa-sama, please tell the human to come to her place as soon as she comes out.... Eh...? Those spirits?”
Undine.
Sylph.
Gnome.
Salamander.
Spirits of the four basic attributes that make up nature. Seeing them wandering around Jaeyoung, Kanna pricked her little ears and began to look around Jaeyoung.
“and! Human! Something has changed so much!”
“okay....? What has changed so much?”
Kanna smiles broadly and gives a burdensome glow in her eyes. When Jaeyoung asked again with an expression that she couldn\'t adapt to her sudden change of reaction, Kanna bit her finger in her mouth as if thinking about something and said,
“Hmm... how to say... uh~ it smells really good!”
“smell?”
“yes. In the past, it only smelled like humans... but now... um... it smells good!”
“Is that so?”
Jae-young had the urge to ask what exactly a human smell is like. However, since he had grasped the habits of the elves to some extent, he suppressed his curiosity with all his might.
“yes! lol. thank god!”
Kanna suddenly said she was lucky and took a deep breath and exhaled repeatedly. Jae-young\'s curiosity, watching her behavior, burst out of her mouth after driving out the reason she was suppressing, saying, ‘I can\'t stand this.....\'.
“What is... I\'m glad...?”
Jaeyoung asked with a doubtful face. To him, Kanna replied with a smile like a pure child.
“You can hold your breath now! In the past, the smell was so strong that it was hard to breathe, but if you show up like that, you\'re a bad elf, so I had a hard time pretending nothing was wrong! Did I do well? Didn\'t you get any tea?”
Kanna is proudly chattering and making a proud expression as if asking for praise. At her remarks, Jaeyoung began to feel a strong urge to eat a honey chestnut with sincerity. However, L, who saw Jaeyoung\'s trembling fists, must have noticed him, and soon defended the younger Kanna.
“I probably didn’t mean it with malice. In fact, elves are a pure race that is closer to nature itself than any other race. That\'s why they react extremely sensitively to alien beings. So they are extremely exclusive and hostile to other races. If you don\'t have spirit affinity, they\'re seen as dirty and unclean with a terrifying stench.”
“That\'s right. I\'ve never seen those bunnies interact so actively with other races. They used to fight every day by shooting arrows.”
L actively dissuades Jae-young, and Tan agrees with her words and fires support. Tan and L say that they are saying what they truly feel, not intentionally saying it to make them feel bad. It was a more upsetting situation in a different sense, but it was a bit like hitting a little girl the size of a small girl, so Jaeyoung answered with a smile on his face.
“I see. It must have smelled very bad.”
A situation where there are hundreds of hedgehogs in a horse. But whether she knew it or not, Kanna made a fuss by making exaggerated gestures.
“Okay~. The rotten me vibrated so Kanna had a hard time! But I couldn\'t become a bad elf, so I put up with it a lot. But how bad was the smell really? It\'s like rotting fruits, and the ogre that ate them is shit...”
Kanna chattered for 10 minutes without exaggerating how bad Jaeyoung\'s body odor was. In the end, Jaeyoung, who had been listening to it silently, couldn\'t stand it and ended up committing it.
Cong.
“Hehehehehehehehe!”
Making a young elf girl cry with a night of justice.
* * *
The elves flocked to Kanna\'s crying. Melissa, who received the relevant situation from them, sat down with a slightly embarrassed face and dealt with Jaeyoung.
“First of all... As the queen, I apologize for Kanna\'s rude behavior.”
Jaeyoung was sitting with a hard face. He sighed deeply at Melissa\'s apology.
“Ha... no. I didn’t do anything well either, so I’ll move on to things that didn’t exist.”
On the outside, Kanna exudes crazy cuteness like a lower grader in elementary school. Jaeyoung, who stuck a honey chestnut full of sincerity into her head, shook her head, reflecting on her actions that momentarily lost her reason.
“Then... may I go back to the main topic and ask what you talked about with the World Tree?”
Melissa who asks about the story with the world tree. However, at her question, Jaeyoung hesitated for a moment and glanced at Tan and L, who were standing beside him with blank faces, and thought to himself.
‘You wouldn\'t believe me if I told you what happened there...?\'
To the elves, the World Tree is revered as a mother and god-like being. It was quite shocking to Jae-young that she, who always cared for everything with agape love and showed a beautiful figure full of dignity, was actually a bully who spat on the floor and spoke all sorts of foul language.
“Hey, you seedling bastard!”
“How dare you call it a sapling? You fucking bat!”
Puck puck puck.
They do not hesitate to demean each other as seedling chicken-winged bats and engage in a brawl by punching each other. No matter how much I explained this in detail, the elves, including Melissa, would never believe it, so Jaeyoung summarized the important points.
“They asked to appoint a substitute for themselves.”
“yes....? Are you a substitute?”
Melissa widens her eyes at Jaeyoung\'s words. She asked back in disbelief with trembling eyes.
“Could it be that the representative is the one mentioned in the legend...”
“Will of Nature. that\'s right. Did you even give me this?”
Jaeyoung pulls out a branch of the world tree that looks like a hard wooden club from his inventory. Seeing what was in his hand, Melissa murmured in horror.
“I can\'t believe it..... A test... Crazy... What on earth is the World Tree thinking, why are you entrusting a human with a substitute?”
Melissa mumbles as if something is wrong. Jaeyoung was able to notice her reaction. It means that this hidden job that Jaeyoung got has an important meaning to them. So, Jaeyoung enjoyed the situation to the fullest and spoke with a relaxed attitude.
“So I’m going to look around for a while. In the future, I won\'t be particularly busy, so I\'ll have to take some time off and look for it diligently. I’m looking for the right person to act as an agent who can diligently carry out the will of the World Tree.”
“That\'s like that...”
Melissa looked a bit flustered. She looked at Jaeyoung\'s eyes and said cautiously.
“Wouldn\'t it be easier to find the right person among the forest clan? Even if you don\'t have to go out and look for it, it\'s easier to find someone who can replace the will of the World Tree right here...
”
“yes....?”
Jaeyoung interrupts Melissa and speaks in a calm voice. He did the same thing as Kanna did and gave it back to her.
“I will tell you honestly. Did I tell you before? They say that the young elves who are growing up should be given proper character education. How on earth can you laugh and say in front of people that the smell of ogre poop that ate rotten fruit is worse than how much you have taught your child not to eat it?”
“That\'s it...”
“Nature\'s will... No, I think an existence that represents the will of the World Tree is born among the elves. Then the power of the elves will be stronger if they are stronger than now, but not weak, right? Then, how much more will this exploded personality explode?”
A race of elves full of arrogance and aloofness.
Jaeyoung didn\'t want to see them go crazy even if he died, so he said to Melissa in a firm tone.
“Don’t even dream until his obsession with looks is fixed.”
She opened her mouth as if trying to say something at Jae-young\'s strong attitude that she couldn\'t see anything like that until dirt came into her eyes. But then he dropped his ears, put on a dejected expression, and kept his mouth shut without saying anything.
[Melissa, the queen of elves, is deeply disappointed with the player\'s decision.]
[Likeability rate has decreased.]
A message that the favorability rate has decreased. However, as in the past, he did not blink an eye because he was Jae-young, who did not dwell on his relationship with the elves.
‘Because I\'m not the one who regrets it anyway.\'
Other users always cringe at the elves, wondering if they would somehow receive skills, items, or hidden quests from them. However, since it was a situation where the whole dragon rare was obtained and a huge probability was obtained at the same time, they wanted it if they wanted it, and Jae-young did not want anything from the elves. That\'s why Jaeyoung didn\'t forget to blow a terrifying threat to Melissa with a distraught expression.
“So, treat yourself well. If you really disgrace, I\'ll take a terribly ugly human and use you as a proxy for the World Tree.”
“omg! That\'s...!”
Jaeyoung imagined.
Elves who are already sensitive to their appearance. Just looking at them, the girls frown upon Jae-gyun, who is fat and full of pimples and has an ugly appearance, and proudly brings him to the world as a representative of the World Tree.
“hmm....? Wouldn’t that be more fun than you thought?”
Come to think of it, it was the worst of the worst for them. It was said impulsively, but Jaeyoung muttered with a smile thinking that it was a good way to get revenge.
“Sorry! Kanna... No, I\'m really sorry if we made you feel bad, so please, that\'s all...!”
Melissa\'s attitude is more agitated than before. Breaking into a cold sweat, he lowered his tail and bowed his head in apology.
“You can choose from among humans. All good. No one cares, so please don\'t deliberately choose an ugly human!”
Melissa begged almost begging with a desperate face as if that was absolutely not possible. Seeing her appearance, Jaeyoung spoke after a moment of silence.
“Well... let\'s see that later.”
“thank you! I will educate you thoroughly. I swear to be my queen.”
Melissa promises that this unpleasant situation will never happen again. Jaeyoung said with a slightly relaxed face at her words.
“Oh, and... there is something else that the World Tree asked me to convey.”
“yes? The World Tree...?”
Melissa asked back with startled eyes, as if asking why she was only saying that now. Jaeyoung smiled softly at her.
“They told me to prepare because the promised ‘moment’ is coming on the day of the next full moon.”
“If it were that moment...? no way....?”
Melissa asked Jaeyoung with trembling eyes. Jaeyoung nodded at the look in her eyes as if she was asking if she was right.
“yes. They say it unites all the scattered continents.”
[Remaining time: 27d 17h 24m 13s.]
The timer floating in front of Jaeyoung. Watching the countdown fall one by one every moment, he muttered with an evil smile.
“All of it.”
