Chapter 163: 159 I am nervous to meet a great man no matter what he is with.

I parted from the testers and Muir led me deeper into the village.
Dark elves are strolling through the streets like a liaison between the trees, taking advantage of the difference in elevation to look at me, a human, from various angles.
Although our testers are known in advance that we are coming, so there is no commotion, the emotions on their faces are still not good.
The only positive feelings are those of the dark elves who are curious to see us, and most of the dark elves are not welcoming our visit.
You will find that most dark elves are not welcoming of our visit.
Here's my groom.
"Here it is?
There is a purpose for walking through the village, if you are willing to strain yourself.
A greeting to the ruler of this village.
But this time, for some reason, I will take over for him.
The place that Muille led me to is not such an ostentatious building, but it's still quite a large mansion compared to the surrounding houses.
But this does not mean that this mansion is owned by anyone, it is managed by the village as a gathering place for the elderly members of the dark elves called the Elderly Association.
I've heard it's a building like a community center, so to speak.
However, unlike peaceful Japan, there are armed soldiers at the gate, and you can sense some other people lurking among the trees, spying on you.
Give me your weapons.
Such a welcome is a familiar one, as Muille silently walks forward, says a couple of words and the soldier directs you to us.
You will be body checked at the gate, and since you are not allowed to bring weapons, you can hand the mineral tree on your back to the dark elf's gatekeeper, but
"Ugh.
Maybe it was heavier than he expected, or maybe he staggered a little.
But the elite soldier that he was must have been able to hold on to it without falling.
As you're inwardly admiring the movement, the other dark elf gently opens the gate and lets you in.
There's another soldier inside, and he's supposed to be your guide.
The solemn atmosphere, unlike in the company, naturally makes me keep my mouth shut and won't let the conversation happen along the way.
If Mr. Muille is silent, I can't open my mouth either.
I don't like meeting with the bosses, even though I know it's necessary, because there is a different kind of tension than in a battle.
The tension in battle is more like a tightening of the body or a tensing of the body.
On the other hand, the tension of these conversations is more like a feeling of heaviness in the stomach.
I'm sure that for people who use these places as their main battlefield, this would be an enjoyable feeling, but I have yet to reach this level of tension.
While I wondered if I should get a little more nerve-wracking, I had to walk a considerable distance for a building, left and right, and down the stairs to finally arrive at my destination.
I've heard that TV stations are deliberately complicated structures to avoid being taken over by terrorists, but is it the same?
The Handelbergs came with their clan, and Muille with his guest. He was allowed to enter the hall!
A different stance for the door, Muir proudly announces himself to the guard standing in front of it, and the door is slowly opened.
Muille passes through the door without hesitation, and I follow him.
"Welcome, human from another world.
"Huh.
When I walked through the door, I was greeted by a voice filled with magic.
The amount of magic is the weight of old age, and the body reacts with a strong sense of surprise.
I gently tucked away the caution that had appeared and looked in the direction of the voice and saw five old dark elves standing there.
Beside them, Keely, who should have followed the testers, was waving cheerfully.
''Good work~I'm relieved you're safe, sister.
"......
"Oh, my God, the reaction is harder than usual.
You will be able to see that the usual attitude of Keely, in spite of the solemnity of the atmosphere, almost makes you relax your shoulders, but you can't pull out of it now, and you have to brace yourself for the fact that you can only bail.
It's more surprising to me that she can use such a tone of voice in this situation: ......
"Relax, guest, you're a messenger from the Demon King. I don't want you to be like your fellow countrymen, but you don't have to be overly formal.
"Thank you for your concern.
I'm not sure if he understood my attitude, but the old dark elf, who is probably the top of the five, relaxed his expression and smiled, and I was able to relax my tension a bit.
Let's just be happy that we didn't attack on our way. And first of all, I want to apologize to you, a human from another world, for putting you in the dangerous role of bait and switch.
I slowly shake my head at the old dark elf, who bows his head to me.
This job was certainly a mandate, but in the end, I volunteered because I needed it myself.
"Through his work, we have heard the smallest details of the word from the Demon King from this man.
The purpose of this training program in the dark elf village, Kaylee has successfully conveyed it.
It's a great honor to be chosen as the place to fish for those who would interfere with the Demon King's plans, we dark elves will help you.
This training was supposed to improve the testers' abilities on the surface.
However, there is no way that supervisor could have kept it to that level, no matter how profitable it was, or rather because it was profitable, at such an extremely dangerous time.
Ostensibly, Kaylee, Nostalfel and I are supposed to be the leaders, but behind the scenes, there are many of the supervisor's handiwork lurking in the area that would make a certain spy pale in comparison.
I think it's enough that you've given me the land. All that was left was for us to use as bait, and if we hooked it, good. If you have any of your people.
"You couldn't pass up this opportunity, could you?
"Yes.
The siege is already complete.
Keep your testers under tight control, create a situation where they can't be touched internally, and then you will have a clear window of opportunity.
To your opponent, this will seem like a perfect opportunity.
But
But this plan, perhaps they are aware of it?
Yes, that's what the supervisor said.
The other side knows what the plan is.
The best marbled meat in the cage is placed in front of the predator.
The cage is surrounded by invisible hunters who are ready to shoot the animal before it takes a bite out of the meat.
An arrangement that would not go unnoticed unless you are very calm or very well-trained.
And he knows it and knows he's provoking you. He's...
The supervisor's anger is beginning to overflow.
Instead of losing your temper in a rage, you turn your anger into coldness and calmly plan to finish the paperwork.
That's a supervisor.
Challenging you to bite the bite, the supervisor made this training a mirror of your opponent.
You don't necessarily have to beat your opponent, only inflict pain.
The supervisor prepared a space to mirror his opponent's thoughts, whether he was going to attack or pull back.
When this girl told me the details, I couldn't believe my ears. But when I heard that such an event took place in the demon king's lap, our tribe could not remain silent. So, as I said before, cooperating with them is in itself not a bad thing. But...
When Kaylee outlined the plan, the Elders' reaction was calm.
It is an attitude that weighs the risks and the trust that can be gained, and carefully examines the story.
But there was one thing I couldn't overlook, and that was the look in my eyes.
"So you see, the key to this plan
And of all the plans I've outlined to the dark elves, the one with the most at stake is .
It is you, isn't it?
That's how it's set up.
The most dangerous part of this plan is my guess that I will be the final target of the enemy, and the most dangerous part of this plan is me.
And being the most dangerous means that I'll be the keystone of this plan.
That's why he was selected, but the question of whether I, as a human being, can handle this great responsibility must have crossed his mind.
I'm sure you can list all kinds of reasons why it's necessary or appropriate, but I'm sure you're not looking for those reasons.
Yes. We know you only by reputation. I don't want to be trusted with that much. In addition, you have a contract with a spirit of the highest grade coming up. You will be used as bait to lure the culprit and if you lose that spirit. What do you think about that?
He shakes his head from side to side, implying that it would be pointless to do so, in the face of the elders, who implied that it was too risky and untrustworthy to prepare a replacement.
According to the supervisor's readings, the attack on the tester so far is probably a prelude and a confirmation.
Confirmation that the method of releasing the magical body to harm the existence of the tester is in working order.
And by spreading the information that I can harm the body in this way and risk my life, I'll restrict the tester's movements and tie up my real life.
These two points would be the purpose of the crime in the dungeon.
And from that movement, the supervisor's description of the culprit would be.
I don't think we need to discuss this point. From the enemy's point of view, this is a prelude to a battle, and they won't bring in enough force to go after it. No, you can't do that. Because they're afraid to invest that kind of force and leave a trail of information. The murderer will probably have a different plan for this one. Because he knows that this is not the real thing. But he'll put me up against an opponent we can't be too careful with. In addition, the mastermind will be happy to see me fall here. It's only a profit motive if I succeed.
What about it? It's no less dangerous.
Cunning.
That's all I can say.
The movement of the murderer of the sword, and the skill with which he kept the information from being compromised without leaking the trail of the bearer of the sword.
And from the information he had gathered, the supervisor described his opponent in one word: "Such an opponent is a pseudo-bait.
"Against such an opponent, pseudo-bait won't work. We need to take the risk too. And we need to minimize the damage in that situation.
Is that what you are?
It's a supervisor's decision that comes from the goals of the opponent and the answers he or she has deduced.
"Evvia-dono.
At the mere mention of the supervisor's name, the earlier suspicion fades.
There's something about her that makes me think that the devil would have some unpredictable agenda.
The elders in front of me were also affected by this.
"The enemy is cunning and we must do what we can.
The supervisor declared that he was the type of person who never got his hands dirty, let others get their hands dirty, and decided to take the high ground.
The ability to hold multiple tails and, if grabbed, instantly detach and regenerate them.
He is the most troublesome type of opponent to deal with when dealing with an invisible enemy.
If you change your plans and cut corners against such an opponent because he is human, you will create a real opportunity for your opponent.
The scary thing about this one is that you can't see the motive of the opponent. The supervisor said that the most likely culprit is the one who wanted to rebel against the current Demon Lord's forces, but it's too lame for that, he also said. He said there was too much circumstantial evidence, even if there was no physical evidence. He said there were signs of a deliberate attempt to pin the crime on the force.
My previous prediction, that the militants would act to prevent me from becoming a general, a possibility that the supervisor had taken into account, but the supervisor said it was unlikely.
Rather, he had mentioned in a meeting during the finalization phase of the project that there was something else that was using it as a cover.
This instruction was to find out the motive, was it?
Yes, although the enemy won't let you grab the tail so easily, you can at least see the shadow.
The process of explaining the situation in a nonchalant manner and gaining understanding and conviction got a pause here, and a few seconds of silent contemplation.
"...... agreed. If that's the case, then I don't see why we should refuse to cooperate. What do you say, ladies and gentlemen?
The elders, who did not offer any alternatives, had no choice but to accept, this time with an air of trusting the supervisor's word.
I've reached my goal.
I have to divide the information between Kaylee's information, my information and the information given by the supervisor and carry it with me to the person I need to tell.
That's the moment I've done my job.
I was actually the real target, as I was the obvious decoy, and Kaylie, who worked in the shadow of the decoy, was also the real target, which was a rather forceful move, but this is how I was able to gain the cooperation of the dark elves.
I'm aware of the danger, but I've come to the conclusion that we should take action, and I'm sure the dark elves around me nodded in agreement with that confirmation.
"Phew.
Thank you for your service, son-in-law.
"Yeah, I'm done using my brain,
The fatigue was unexpectedly strong, probably due to the fact that I was so tense all the way from the office to here.
The supervisor said that you won't be attacked along the way, but I was still nervous.
Then the real mission begins.
"Mm, here's the thing.
Up to this point it was brain work, but now it's physical work.
Yes, let's get into it.
The contract with the spirit and the movement of the shadow ahead of the supervisor's eyes.
This is the point where you have to hold your ground so that you don't cause any damage to Kaido and the others who are moving around comfortably in the open.
A word today
Pull yourself together and let's go.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
I parted from the testers and Muir led me deeper into the village.
Dark elves are strolling through the streets like a liaison between the trees, taking advantage of the difference in elevation to look at me, a human, from various angles.

If you have any of your people."You couldn't pass up this opportunity, could you?"Yes.The siege is already complete.Keep your testers under tight control, create a situation where they can't be touched internally, and then you will have a clear window of opportunity.To your opponent, this will seem like a perfect opportunity.ButBut this plan, perhaps they are aware of it?Yes, that's what the supervisor said.The other side knows what the plan is.The best marbled meat in the cage is placed in front of the predator.The cage is surrounded by invisible hunters who are ready to shoot the animal before it takes a bite out of the meat.An arrangement that would not go unnoticed unless you are very calm or very well-trained.And he knows it and knows he's provoking you. He's...The supervisor's anger is beginning to overflow.Instead of losing your temper in a rage, you turn your anger into coldness and calmly plan to finish the paperwork.That's a supervisor.Challenging you to bite the bite, the supervisor made this training a mirror of your opponent.You don't necessarily have to beat your opponent, only inflict pain.The supervisor prepared a space to mirror his opponent's thoughts, whether he was going to attack or pull back.When this girl told me the details, I couldn't believe my ears. But when I heard that such an event took place in the demon king's lap, our tribe could not remain silent. So, as I said before, cooperating with them is in itself not a bad thing. But...When Kaylee outlined the plan, the Elders' reaction was calm.It is an attitude that weighs the risks and the trust that can be gained, and carefully examines the story.But there was one thing I couldn't overlook, and that was the look in my eyes."So you see, the key to this planAnd of all the plans I've outlined to the dark elves, the one with the most at stake is .It is you, isn't it?That's how it's set up.The most dangerous part of this plan is my guess that I will be the final target of the enemy, and the most dangerous part of this plan is me.And being the most dangerous means that I'll be the keystone of this plan.That's why he was selected, but the question of whether I, as a human being, can handle this great responsibility must have crossed his mind.I'm sure you can list all kinds of reasons why it's necessary or appropriate, but I'm sure you're not looking for those reasons.Yes. We know you only by reputation. I don't want to be trusted with that much. In addition, you have a contract with a spirit of the highest grade coming up. You will be used as bait to lure the culprit and if you lose that spirit. What do you think about that?He shakes his head from side to side, implying that it would be pointless to do so, in the face of the elders, who implied that it was too risky and untrustworthy to prepare a replacement.According to the supervisor's readings, the attack on the tester so far is probably a prelude and a confirmation.Confirmation that the method of releasing the magical body to harm the existence of the tester is in working order.And by spreading the information that I can harm the body in this way and risk my life, I'll restrict the tester's movements and tie up my real life.These two points would be the purpose of the crime in the dungeon.And from that movement, the supervisor's description of the culprit would be.I don't think we need to discuss this point. From the enemy's point of view, this is a prelude to a battle, and they won't bring in enough force to go after it. No, you can't do that. Because they're afraid to invest that kind of force and leave a trail of information. The murderer will probably have a different plan for this one. Because he knows that this is not the real thing. But he'll put me up against an opponent we can't be too careful with. In addition, the mastermind will be happy to see me fall here. It's only a profit motive if I succeed.What about it?It's no less dangerous.Cunning.That's all I can say.The movement of the murderer of the sword, and the skill with which he kept the information from being compromised without leaking the trail of the bearer of the sword.And from the information he had gathered, the supervisor described his opponent in one word: "Such an opponent is a pseudo-bait."Against such an opponent, pseudo-bait won't work. We need to take the risk too. And we need to minimize the damage in that situation.Is that what you are?It's a supervisor's decision that comes from the goals of the opponent and the answers he or she has deduced."Evvia-dono.At the mere mention of the supervisor's name, the earlier suspicion fades.There's something about her that makes me think that the devil would have some unpredictable agenda.The elders in front of me were also affected by this."The enemy is cunning and we must do what we can.The supervisor declared that he was the type of person who never got his hands dirty, let others get their hands dirty, and decided to take the high ground.The ability to hold multiple tails and, if grabbed, instantly detach and regenerate them.He is the most troublesome type of opponent to deal with when dealing with an invisible enemy.If you change your plans and cut corners against such an opponent because he is human, you will create a real opportunity for your opponent.The scary thing about this one is that you can't see the motive of the opponent. The supervisor said that the most likely culprit is the one who wanted to rebel against the current Demon Lord's forces, but it's too lame for that, he also said. He said there was too much circumstantial evidence, even if there was no physical evidence. He said there were signs of a deliberate attempt to pin the crime on the force.My previous prediction, that the militants would act to prevent me from becoming a general, a possibility that the supervisor had taken into account, but the supervisor said it was unlikely.Rather, he had mentioned in a meeting during the finalization phase of the project that there was something else that was using it as a cover.This instruction was to find out the motive, was it?Yes, although the enemy won't let you grab the tail so easily, you can at least see the shadow.The process of explaining the situation in a nonchalant manner and gaining understanding and conviction got a pause here, and a few seconds of silent contemplation."...... agreed. If that's the case, then I don't see why we should refuse to cooperate. What do you say, ladies and gentlemen?The elders, who did not offer any alternatives, had no choice but to accept, this time with an air of trusting the supervisor's word.I've reached my goal.I have to divide the information between Kaylee's information, my information and the information given by the supervisor and carry it with me to the person I need to tell.That's the moment I've done my job.I was actually the real target, as I was the obvious decoy, and Kaylie, who worked in the shadow of the decoy, was also the real target, which was a rather forceful move, but this is how I was able to gain the cooperation of the dark elves.I'm aware of the danger, but I've come to the conclusion that we should take action, and I'm sure the dark elves around me nodded in agreement with that confirmation."Phew.Thank you for your service, son-in-law."Yeah, I'm done using my brain,The fatigue was unexpectedly strong, probably due to the fact that I was so tense all the way from the office to here.The supervisor said that you won't be attacked along the way, but I was still nervous.Then the real mission begins."Mm, here's the thing.Up to this point it was brain work, but now it's physical work.Yes, let's get into it.The contract with the spirit and the movement of the shadow ahead of the supervisor's eyes.This is the point where you have to hold your ground so that you don't cause any damage to Kaido and the others who are moving around comfortably in the open.A word todayPull yourself together and let's go.
