It wasn't that difficult to wipe out the guys inside the den.
There was no need to go inside the cave, just light smoke inside and suffocate them. Those who couldn't stand it any longer could come out, so they were simply cut down and killed.
Fortunately, there were no hostages inside. It is said that goblins eat their offspring right after they give birth. The girl was really just a provocation. After all, animals can reproduce too.
"I avoided sleeping rough today."
The few hostages who survived guided us to the village. We were entitled to a reward, but Sloan, being the hero he was, refused to accept it.
'But why am I sleeping in the same room?'
There was one problem. I got caught up in the atmosphere and ended up sleeping in the same room… Of course, the room was big so I had no complaints.
'I guess these guys don't see me as a man.'
That's understandable. My body is small and I look like a woman. I've often heard people say that if I just grow my hair out, I'll look like a noble lady. Is that normal, since I'm the most beautiful among my kind?
'It's a bit strange. I'm not treated as a man. Am I being judged as a harmless animal?'
I've heard that women like cute animals. I mean, small animals like rabbits or cats.
'Maybe Sloan recruited me for my looks rather than my skills. Like a mascot.'
I've heard many times that raising a cute animal relieves stress, so I wonder if this is based on that principle.
I think I did pretty well today…. One way or another, it doesn't really matter since I just need to show off my skills.
"Valley! But is it okay to sleep on the floor?"
As I was throwing the bedding on the floor, Sloan spoke to me.
"I'm comfortable here."
"Hey, if you're going to sleep, why don't you sleep in the bed? The bed here is soft."
There are two small ones in one large bed, so I think it would be okay to share them.
'That woman definitely touched my butt.'
I think I know what you're trying to do, but I have a reason why you shouldn't let me do it.
"Would you like to sleep with me? You're small, so I think you'll fit into my bed."
"No."
Bang bang, Camilla lifted the blanket and patted it with her hand. It looked warm, but if she went in there, something bad would happen.
"Why?"
"Well, I'm a guy."
"What's wrong with that? I'm fine, so come in quickly."
What are you talking about? This crazy bitch…. Is her intelligence all in her tits?
"I'm saying this because I'm worried."
"So."
For a moment, Camilla stopped talking and stared at me, her expression blank instead of blank.
"You're not going to come up? I showed my sincerity."
I stared at him intently. His eyes seemed to pierce through me. I couldn't understand.
Something is creepy. Why is he looking at me like that? I didn't do anything wrong…
"Okay, I understand."
Only then did she smile again, her stupid expression on her face.
Something seems to be wrong. I approach cautiously.
"Got it!"
Using those long legs, she hugged my waist and pulled me into the blanket. It happened so quickly that I couldn't even react.
"Ugh!"
"Wow…. It's really soft. The skin is soft too."
She pulled me into bed and slowly caressed my whole body, starting with my face.
"This, this is sexual harassment…."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"No, please let this go."
This is blatant touching! I tried my best to get away, but it was no use.
'The power is stronger than me!'
Is this possible? A mere wizard is stronger than me, the Demon King!
"Stay still. If you stay still, no one will think anything strange. See, those three don't think anything strange about you being caught like this. Hehe… Maybe they just saw you as a doll?"
"Ugh…."
"Heuuup haaah, what kind of man's body smells like lavender? It's really amazing."
She used all her limbs to trap my small body in her arms. Her huge breasts pressed against my face, and her two arms wrapped around my back.
The long legs tightly bound my lower body. There was no way for me to escape.
'What is this feeling…?'
Swish, swish… Something hard and sharp touched my face. I rolled my eyes slightly to see what it was, and saw Camilla with a red face.
"Hee."
She shook her breasts back and forth, brushing them against my face. The hard object inevitably struck my mouth or cheek.
"Ah, I'm wet. This is a big problem…. "
"Ugh."
"You can't eat it from the first day. Shall we stop here for today? Then sleep well."
In this way, I ended up trapped in Camilla's form. As I fell asleep, I endured the creepy hands that groped me without hesitation, and waited for this time to pass.
***
After what felt like an eternity, Camilla's sinister hands stopped.
'Committing sexual harassment blatantly.'
Is this woman really part of the warrior party? What on earth did Sloan see in her that made him take her… She's less human than she was before her abilities!
'Then, should I get up now?'
I quietly got up. The warrior party that had been chatting about this and that was fast asleep. I was planning to take advantage of this opportunity to plot a plot.
'Oh, but where did Elisa go?'
Where on earth did this woman go? Hmm… Maybe she ran away into the forest. There's no reason for that, though. My people once told me not to trust women with long ears. Was that true?
I couldn't sleep at the moment. I decided to go out and find Elisa. It was a simple task for me. I just had to find the traces.
'There's no need to do that.'
As I listened, I felt the air tremble slightly. Was an arrow being fired nearby? I carefully slipped out so as not to wake Camilla, and went outside.
I followed the source of the vibrations and walked for a while until I came across a forest. I wondered if they were elves, because they seemed to really like trees.
"… Who are you?"
I just got closer. Elisa noticed me approaching and turned her bow. I wish she would calm down. If I get hit by it, I'll die instantly.
"Here it is. Ms. Elisa."
"It's you."
Elisa, who confirmed that it was an ally, put down her bow. Hoo, that's right. Sweat was slightly forming on her back. No matter what, Elisa's arrows were scary. At this distance, there was no way to avoid it, and it was instant death.
"Why did you follow me?"
"Ah. It's just…. I thought you went somewhere because you suddenly disappeared."
"There's no way I would do that."
Does elf magic also have the ability to read people's minds? Honestly, I'm a little surprised.
"I can't leave even if I want to. I haven't repaid Sloan's favor yet."
" Grace?"
"Hoo."
Elisa pushed back her sweaty blonde hair and placed her precious bow beside her.
"It's already been two years. The forest where my tribe lived was burned down due to the invasion of the Demon King's army. The place where I lived was on the outskirts, so we didn't receive any help from the Allied Forces and were completely destroyed.
It's a common strategy. Send troops to the enemy's rear and cut off their supply line. It's basic.
There is a reason they burn down villages. If they think their hometown is burning, it can shake the hearts of the soldiers on the front lines.
"My father was pierced by an enemy's spear and died a horrible death, and my mother was forced into the river and died. The forest I had lived in for decades was burning like that… It was so futile."
Elisa's face darkened as she spoke. Her fists trembled. Was this the reason she suddenly ran wild in front of the goblin den? Maybe she remembered the trauma from seeing the dying girl's face.
Since it was only in the realm of speculation, I stopped thinking about it.
"If I had stayed that way… . I would have died too. I would have become a skull drum that they use as decoration. Maybe I would have been resurrected as a dark elf. "
"It was Sloan who saved you."
"Yeah."
The story that followed was somewhat predictable. Elisa, who was on the verge of death, was saved by Sloan, and joined the group to repay the favor.
"So I have to repay Sloan. I have to become stronger and complete his mission."
…is she a lesbian? Well, Sloan is a woman with a slightly masculine side. It's not strange that she would fall for her.
"I hate you."
No, all of a sudden? I was so dumbfounded that I decided to refute him.
"Yes? I know it sounds like I'm trying to be funny, but I saved you."
For a moment, I felt annoyed. If it weren't for me, this insolent elf would have ended up getting torn to pieces by goblins, or maybe even seriously injured somewhere.
Seriously! If only I wasn't so strong! I would've punched that annoying elf in the face.
"Before you came, my role was scouting. Finding anything that could hurt the party members in advance and preventing it. Without me, we would have been wiped out long ago."
No way. Sloan is the strongest warrior I've ever seen. Maybe… to the point where I think he might grow to be as strong as that guy.
Still, I acknowledge Elisha's abilities. Those sharp arrows are certainly strong.
"I can't use magic. I can control some spirits, but I can't heal others. And I'm not as good with a sword as Sloan."
"You're good at shooting arrows."
"So what? Anyone can do that."
No, I don't think I can do it… Archery is a more advanced skill than you might think, and not just anyone can shoot it, and not everyone can hit the target every time they shoot like Elisa.
"Because of you, I have become… a useless human resource. Until now, I thought I was doing more than one person's share. But not anymore."
What, is that what it's all about?
I think the reason this ridiculous woman didn't want to let me into the party was because she was worried that her position would be diminished. Was it an inferiority complex?
Elves are a proud race. They are said to be particularly intolerant of feeling useless.
'This is really pathetic.'
It's unfortunate not to know how to use your strengths, but it's trash to say you can't do it even though you know it.
In order to have this woman's talent, humans will put in a lot of effort even today. But they will still not be able to reach it. Elves' marksmanship is the best in the world.
"Elisa. I'm sorry to say this… . But are you being humble?"
"… What?"
"Your archery skills are amazing to anyone. Even if I practiced for a hundred years, I don't know if I could keep up with half of your skills."
Elisha's beautiful brow furrows. We also see her neat teeth clenched.
'Don't despair here.'
I need to stimulate it. My goal is to destroy Sloan and his warrior party, as well as kill 'all' the Demon Kings other than me.
Elisa may not be as strong as Sloan, but she definitely has the talent to become one of the strongest. I don't know what level she is, but she's a woman who's stronger than me, the Demon King.
'And the archer who shoots an arrow at the back of the warrior's head can't be weak.'
You must become stronger. So leave the useless reconnaissance to me and concentrate on your archery. Then, when you truly hate Sloan, you can shoot him dead.
"You don't know anything… How dare you say something like that?"
"No, you're good at archery, right? Why do you think we don't need an archer in our party?"
"That's right…! When it comes to long-range attacks, Camilla is far superior!"
You're talking nonsense. It certainly might be powerful to sweep away enemies from a distance over a wide area.
However, this has its limitations. Not only is it difficult to properly target the desired target, but there are also often entities that are resistant to magic.
"Then why aren't you developing your reconnaissance skills? Why are you practicing archery?"
"That, that's it."
"As expected, you're being humble. People like you are everywhere. Showing off your skills better than anyone else, but claiming your own talent is minimal… ."
Okay, that's enough. I'm sure you'll understand if I just tell you this much. You're not that stupid, after all. You'll figure it out.
I slowly walked past her.
"Please think about why I risked my life to protect your bow."
It's also important not to forget a little carrot. You don't want to push too hard and end up becoming hostile towards me.
'I was a bit harsh. Um… I hope you weren't hurt?'
They say women these days act like men used to. If that's the case, then words like this won't hurt them.
In fact, if you listen carefully, it's closer to praising someone for being good at archery.
'I'm worried about my relationship with Sloan. How can I distance ourselves from them?'
I decided to think about this little by little. The journey is still long.
