“Why did you entrust Zero-Niisama’s safety to that elf Elira?”
Now it’s been three days since I woke up. I had been unconscious for about three hours, but when I woke up, the demon tribe was no longer there and my brother was lying beside me. At the time I woke up, the three upper elves had not yet woken up.
In the past three days, the three upper elves had been struggling to unite the village. Now that they had calmed down a bit, I thought I would talk to them.
“Why didn’t you three escort Zero-Niisama? At least you guys wouldn’t get your arms chopped off and drag your feet against the Dragon Demon, right?”
I don’t like these three elves. On the upside, they care more about my brother than anyone else…or anyone who has a contract with the Spirit King. But their actions don’t go along with it.
“That’s…”
“I’m sorry I asked, you don’t have to tell me. The reason was because you wanted to evacuate Elira to a safe place, where she and Zero-Niisama could evolve in a short time, because she is stronger than most of her elf peers, and she has a contract with the highest level spirit of water, right?”
“………”
I have already heard about the strategy and actions on the day of the demon attack. Also, I saw Elira’s status, which was higher than any of the elves in the village, except for these three. Perhaps, when she reaches the same age as these guys, she might be stronger than them now. That is probably why they tried to evacuate them to a safe place for a suitable reason. Well, it was pointless, or even counterproductive.
“And I heard that the two of you were also transferred? I would like to complain a lot about that too, but let’s leave it at that for now. So once you realized that the other demon was weak, you could have ignored that demon and gone to Zero-Niisama, right?”
Tiya and Judy defeated their opponents without sustaining any wounds at all. If what I have heard is correct, they are probably weaker than the dragon demon.
“Or did you want to avoid causing damage to the elves by ignoring the demons?”
These guys put the elves before my brother. It’s the right decision for an elf queen and her entourage. But if they would rather make such a decision, if they would rather put the elves before my brother, then they should stop their superficial respect for my brother. It’s disgusting….
“If Tiya and the others had ignored the demons and gone to Zeros-sama, there would have been many deaths among the elves. Who will feel responsible for that? It’s Zeros-sama.”
“As a result, I came and saved Zero-Niisama before he was killed by the dragon demon. But if he had died, would you say the same thing? Are you saying he’d rather be dead than feel responsible and emotionally damaged.”
“That’s…”
“Then why did you prioritize Elira’s treatment over going to Zero-Niisama?”
These guys went first to treat Elira when they saw her arm cut off. Normally, they should have just given her first aid and gone to Zero-Niisama first. However, these guys prioritized to heal Elira completely. In addition, they didn’t even try to break the barrier and went to support Emily.
“If you put it that way, it was because of your barrier that we couldn’t go to Zeros-sama.”
“The barriers were put up because I didn’t want you and the others who are not on our side to get too close to Zero-Niisama.”
“Tiya and the others are on your side…”
“Did you know? That barrier was put up so that any low-power spirit magic could break it, you know? Well… you don’tknow, right? You didn’t even think of breaking the barrier to get to Zero-Niisama.”
“That’s…”
“If Emily was taken hostage and you were told that if you killed Zero-Niisama, Emily would be spared… who would you save?”
“………Zer”
“You’re not on our side when you can’t immediately answer, ” Zero,”. I’d have immediately answered that I will help Zero-Niisama even at the cost of everything but him.”
I was about to continue, but Emily stopped me by raising her hand.
“The others certainly put the lives of many of the elves ahead of Zeros-sama. But I don’t think our decision was wrong. The people make up the king. Without the people, there can be no king.”
“Then how do you explain them leaving the barriers behind and going to save you? They preferred you to Zero-Niisama, who still has no chance of using the Spirit King. You are only interested in the fact that he has a contract with the Spirit King. If Zero-Niisama breaks the contract, you will lose respect and interest in him as if you had turned your backs on him.”
“That’s not true! I also adore the Spirit King’s contractor, Zeros-sama!”
“You’re talking about a contractor who knows how to use the King of Spirits, right?”
“…!”
“You heard me. You trained Zero-Niisama, didn’t you? Thanks to both of your entourage. So what were you doing then?”
“The affairs of the village…”
“Don’t tell me you’ve been working? I’ve seen a lot of things in the last three days, but there was nothing you had to do every day before, let alone now, is there? And if there were, you could have left it to your entourage, couldn’t you? You’re the strongest of the elves, right? Then why didn’t you train him?”
“That’s…”
“My guess is that you were going to teach him every day when he became able to use the King of Spirits. But months went by and he still couldn’t use it. So you gradually lost interest in Zero-Niisama.”
“…… Even if Zeros-sama breaks his contract with the Spirit King, we won’t flip out.”
“Isn’t it a problem of if he signs the contract again and master’s it?”
“………”
The three couldn’t talk back. These guys don’t see Zero-Niisama. They only see the contractor of the Spirit King. Worst of all, I don’t care about that. The Spirit King is part of Zero-Niisama’s power. Worshipping power is a thing in this world of the weak and the strong. That’s not what I’m angry about.
“Why haven’t you told that to him? You said you’re protecting him because he has a contract with the Spirit King. Why didn’t you tell him that you wouldn’t be interested in him if it weren’t for the King of Spirits? Why are you acting like you respect him? The only thing that matters is the contract with the Spirit King. Why…you’re deceiving my brother!”
“That’s…”
“Ah, the elves in the village told me. You don’t seem to like the top level spirit of thunder, do you? He can’t use the spirit king. I wonder what you think of Zero-Nii-sama, who can’t use the spirit king or uses only the topmost spirit of lightning, which you hate.”
“………”
Huh…they’re completely silent. Tiya and Judy were half unaware of these things and Emily seemed completely aware. It would have been better if they could have chosen either the Spirit King or my brother or at least one of them. It’s ridiculous to dwell on it. It’s time to give up on these guys.
“Wait a minute.”
The door to the room opened with a bang and Elira walked in. Of course, I knew she had been listening in front of the room from the beginning. Or perhaps it was closer to saying that she was listening to me.
“You were talking about how you didn’t like the fact that I was his bodyguard in spite of my weakness, weren’t you?”
“Yes.”
This elf seems to have more mental strength than those three. Or maybe she was looking at my brother personally instead of the spirit king.
“Then if I’m stronger than you, the basis of the story is overturned. Am I wrong?”
“Fufu… yes.”
I didn’t think she would say that she would fight me. I thought I would show her my strength as a majin. But…that’s indeed getting carried away.
“Can we have the mock battle a week after Zero-Niisama wakes up?”
“That’s fine.”
“I’ll show you the difference in our abilities.”
I said these lines as I watched the three of them fall silent and walked out of the room. I then headed to the room where my brother was sleeping.
