Chapter 359: An easy elf, an easy Elena (6)

“He will be alive. Because Hayan also said that he was alive. Surely he will be alive. Yes! Absolutely.”

“… …”

“Hey… Loosen up your face. O-Of course, I am also worried, but Hayan said so. He will definitely be safe! Hyung-nim was always like a cockroach. He is someone who can survive alone in the desert. Being alive all this time must be proof that he’s found a way… I’m sure of it. He must be all right. He must. Yes. Absolutely.”

“… …”

I swallowed hard.

It was because I felt a gloomy atmosphere. Everyone was not their usual selves.

He kept opening his mouth as if he was okay, but Park Deok-gu also looked somewhat anxious, and Sun Hee-young maintained an unusually blank expression.

Of course, Kim Hyunsung, the Blue Guild Master, looked the most unusual.

Anyone could see he was giving off vibes that made it hard to approach him.

He seemed to be repressing it as much as possible, but nevertheless, the surroundings seemed distorted because of his killing aura.

‘Have I ever seen him like that?’

At least I have no memory.

Of course, I usually hang out with Jung Hayan and the Vice Guild Master, so I didn’t have time to talk to the Guild Master, but I know that he’s never shown such a look.

That’s because I heard it from Yoo Ahyoung and Chang-ryul.

He usually spends a lot of time expressionless, but when he talks to the Vice Guild Master or Cho Hyejin, he sometimes smiles, and when I just joined the guild, I remembered that he welcomed me with a smile.

‘He gets quiet.’

He seems to shut his mouth when his anger rises to the top of his head.

Seeing that he didn’t say a word for two days now, it’s clear that he’s more than just angry.

I had no choice but to think that I saw quite a lot of him in this expedition.

“I’m sorry. I apologize again and again.”

“… …”

“I have nothing to say.”

“… …”

He’s not even talking to the elven leader, so I can see how angry he was.

I think it’s understandable.

It is difficult to say that anyone is responsible for the accident, but if I had to pick a few, it was the elves that guarded the kiln where the Vice Guild Master and the Elf Princess were riding.

It is absolutely their fault for drawing the sword while ignoring the command to evade. Perhaps it was because of their insignificant pride.

‘It’s stupid.’

Although their kind is different, it felt like seeing myself from before.

After the speed of erosion of the Vice Guild Master increased, the elves except Elios were in charge of the rear boundary for a smooth attack, and as they also became onlookers, they wanted to show that they could do something, too.

The problem was that what they had to deal with was the named monster from this dungeon.

No one expected that he would pop out of the ground, swallow the kiln, and go back.

Cho Hyejin, who approached the head elf who kept bowing his waist, opened her mouth.

“I think the Guild Master is very upset right now. I don’t think he’s in a condition to exchange views on the details of the expedition. If it’s something important or something related to the expedition, I will try to find a point of consensus within my own words or as much as I can.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Once again, it’s not something for you to apologize. And Princess Elena is also with him… so rather than a reprimand for the past, it seems that the top priority is to go where the named monster is as soon as possible. We’ll break through as fast as we can, with minimal breaks, with Guild Master at the center.”

“Then, from now on…”

“We will try to eat within the scope of the supplies and reduce the amount of sleep time. We don’t have time.”

“Yes. Okay.”

‘He will be alive.’

I don’t know if it were someone else, but it’s hard to imagine that the Vice Guild Master will die in such a place.

Although he is actually alive…

‘There is no way that man will die.’

He’s never going to die like that.

Of course, he shouldn’t die that way. If there is any harm to Vice Guild Master’s body, that person who is muttering quietly will not remain still.

Just looking at her gives me goosebumps.

I kept trying to look somewhere else because my legs kept shaking, but I also became very cautious about her putting those thoughts into action.

She seemed to be quietly lowering her head, but anyone can see that she wasn’t in her normal condition.

She kept dropping tears and frowning as if somehow uncomfortable.

If something really happened to the Vice Guild Master, the arrows of anger currently being accumulated may be directed towards an unspecified number of people.

And that shouldn’t happen.

Seeing Jung Hayan-nim glancing at the elves’ camp with a cold look, suddenly I had to shudder and think of what happened before.

* * *

“I love her.”

‘Of course, I’m not in love.’

Sometimes the problem is that she loses her mind, and it can’t be undone, but if you ask me whether I like her or not, of course, I like her.

I feel guilty for not being able to protect her from the masked trash in the first round, and I feel a little responsibility in the second round.

I like that she thinks about me, and her recent moves seem pretty cute.

‘This much can be considered to be love, well.’

Of course, it is natural that I started acting to give my words confidence as much as possible.

Because I already know the answer to why Elena asked this. Maybe Elena also knows the answer.

If she saw the scene through the Goddess’ Mirror in the first place, it would be hard to think of Jung Hayan and me as just good friends.

I couldn’t help but think that the reason she was asking about this was that she wanted to confirm it with my own mouth.

‘It’s obvious.’

“I-I see. I thought so…”

“Yes. When we first met, it was the same situation as now. At that time, we weren’t alone like we do now, but we ran into a dungeon by chance.”

“Ah…”

Her face was clearly darkening. She has never learned how to manage her facial expressions.

The proof is that her ears were shaking.

It is not yet possible to determine how far she has fallen for me, but the very fact that she has asked this question tells me that she is shaken.

I can’t even tell how complicated her mind will be.

I sprinkled various baits and tossed them, but it’s up to her to put up with it.

It was a divine move to include the subject of revelation.

When I thought of Elena, who was heart-broken, I was conscience-stricken, but she couldn’t get back the ball she had already shot.

It’s even hard for me to keep a face saying, ‘I don’t know why you’re asking something like that.’

‘It’s not easy to act.’

However, I think I’m cut out for it.

When I opened my mouth again, I began to see her looking at me. Of course, her ears are still shaking.

“I am very grateful and sorry for her always being next to me. We’ve been together since then, but I didn’t do anything. Instead, I got a lot of help. Haha.”

“I see….”

“The way she smiles is very cute, and sometimes she looks angry, but even that…”

“Yes. J-Jung Hayan is very p…pretty. Her soul also overflows with love.”

“I don’t know if it’s because of that, but I sometimes think about it.”

“I’m sorry?”

“I think it might be fate. Haven’t you, Elena, thought about that?”

“What exactly are you talking about?”

“It means that God will prescribe our destiny.”

“O-Of course. I also received a revelation…”

“Haha. What I’m talking about is a little different from your grandiose story. Of course, they can be said to be similar, but it is quite different from what Elena thinks. It may be a little insignificant, but… if you think how many foreigners and continental people live on the continent…”

“Yes.”

“It is the destiny between man and man. For me, it feels like that to have met Hayan. Of all the people, it’s certainly no coincidence that I’ve been able to meet her and build a good relationship.”

“… …”

“There’s this saying from where I come from. People are connected by a red string. Maybe she and I are connected by a red string. I’m sure of it.”

“Yes… Yes…”

It was then that Elena’s expression was even darker. It’s hard to say something, but it felt like she’s overwhelmed by a sense of guilt.

It seemed that she was a little annoyed and upset.

Most importantly, she seemed to be sending negative energy. It’s a face I’ve never seen before.

‘I don’t know if it can be said that it is successful.’

It was then that she carefully opened her mouth.

“B-but. O-Of course, it could be that, but…”

“Yes.”

“Such matters have to be thought… a little more carefully. T-The will of God is not something that can be judged so recklessly.”

“Oh. I’m sorry, Elena. I wonder if I’ve been disrespectful… I sincerely apologize for any sensitive subject. I don’t really know about Elune’s doctrine.”

“No! It’s not that. Lee Kiyoung-nim. Yes. It’s not that. I’m not saying that… It’s not that it’s different from the doctrine. O-Of course! It’s not that I can’t believe in the relationship between you and Jung Hayan, but I was worried that Lee Kiyoung would distort the will of God…”

I bet she is distorting the will of God rather than me.

“Oh, I see.”

“In my case, I heard the voice of God d-directly.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes. I have heard it clearly. That is why I was able to tell you with confidence. B-but Lee Kiyoung is a little different from me, right? I just said it because… I wondered if you should think about that matter more carefully as much as you are in a position to spread the will of the Goddess Benignore to others. I-I’m sorry. If I was too… If I was too cocky…”

“No, Elena. You weren’t. Thank you for saying that. You’re right. I was a little careless. It is not unreasonable to be concerned when I think of religious events that have occurred by distorting the will of God.”

“Yes. Yes! That’s why I am saying that.”

She still has a pretty dark face. She’s talking gibberish, but that’s what she meant in the end.

‘That my meeting with Jung Hayan is not fate.’

She went around, but the key must be saying that. She has a pretty cute way of thinking.

In my eyes, it was cute that she did what I intended, but she was engulfed in an indescribable sense of guilt.

‘That’s right.’

The way to become garbage is easy.

The first thing to realize is that she is trash and accepts the guilt as it is, whether she feels guilty about it or regrets her own actions.

The most important is to realize.

Of course, this is not the end. Obviously, the next chapter also exists.

In this case, it’s a little easier.

‘Because it rationalizes.’

Humans and elves are no different. Every animal that thinks is supposed to rationalize its own wrongdoing.

Just like the innocent Princess Elena.

When it’s someone that is not used to wrong or negative energy. It’s even more.
