I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

63 – Tiffania abandoned by the same elves

“This woman is quite strong. It’s impossible to win alone. But if I’m with Alice, I might be able to defeat it.”

The other time, she was helplessly defeated by Faust, but Alice Frangius was originally an elite knight who graduated from the Knights Academy with the highest grades ever.

Known for being stupid, her overwhelming physical ability, which was more than enough to make up for her lack of writing scores, played a part in taking the top spot.

If Tiffania covers from a distance and Alice fights from close range, it’s worth trying no matter how strong the opponent is.

Hey, it’s a warrior party?

There’s no way that a group gathered under the assumption of the Demon King is weak.

—As she thought so, Tiffania suddenly experienced a phenomenon in which the world in front of her eyes turned upside down and the scene she saw in her dream was reproduced.

The streets of Al Nain are nowhere to be found, with vast meadows and towering sacred trees spreading everywhere.

“Here again… ? Did I pass out because I was strangled by that elf earlier? But something seems different from before?”

The space, which had been submerged in fluorescent colors and was dark like dawn, became bright like midday, and the sacred tree was much bigger than before.

Most of all, the elves, who had always sang happily, were standing in a group with their eyes glazed over, glaring at Tiffania hostilely.

“uh… ? Why is everyone like this? hit. I’m going to ask about this Where are you and who are you? Is it a gathering place for elves I don’t know about?”

“Here are the coordinates of the World Tree, child.”

“to? What is this voice?”

Mischa Greenwood, who led the elves, appeared.

Hundreds of elves bowed and paid their respects as Misha came forward.

Even in Tiffania’s eyes, the current Misha looked somewhat different from the average elf.

A tiara on her head, a cloak with a pattern that prayed for the peace of the World Tree, a long staff with the essence of the World Tree embedded in it, and a height that was about a head taller than the elves around her.

And, instead of the green cotton dress that elves usually wear, the colorful dress that seemed to symbolize authority and power made us guess her identity.

She had never seen the World Tree, and her mother, who died when she was young, was the only elf she interacted with properly, but Tiffania had heard about the “Queen” from her mother.

The day the strongest and most beautiful person in the history of the elves returns, the elves will regain their freedom again.

It was a sad legend without any basis that the elves, who had carried the slavery for a thousand years, passed it down from mouth to mouth with hope.

They did not know that Mischa, the queen, was also sold into the hands of a mere human and living as a slave together, and passed on such a dream-like story orally.

In fact, it was no different from a delusion to escape reality, but if there was one thing that matched the legend, it was the appearance the queen usually wore, and that coincided with Misha’s attire.

“for a moment… you… no way… no wait… you are… That… Par, Faust’s slave? colleague? Load? Ah, anyway, a villain who threatens humanity like Faust… is that it? No, you’re a villain, right? Why, why are you acting like a queen? And why are the elves kneeling at you?”

“It is as you guessed. I am your queen, Mischa Greenwood.”

“to… ? lie. what?”

“It is not a lie. And that towering tree over there is the World Tree itself that the elves must protect.”

“under… ? That… world tree? Did you just listen?”

Somehow, looking at that tree made my heart calm.

I had a strange feeling of wanting to stay here forever, wanting to become one with that tree, but I never thought it would be a world tree.

“Then what is this space?”

“It is the ＜coordinate＞ where all the elves’ souls gather.”

“coordinate? soul?”

“You really don’t know anything. To put it simply, for elves, the body is a container for the soul, and as long as the world tree exists, our souls do not disappear forever and gather around the world tree. With training, elves can break away from their bodies and temporarily reach the coordinates where souls gather. That is why it is said that elves are of one mind no matter how far apart they are.”

“that… Is it like that? So you’re saying that all the elves here are real, not fantasy? It’s the first time I’ve seen so many elves gathered together.”

“In the meantime, it would have been difficult to write coordinates. It’s because I, the queen, was bound by humans and almost lost my strength. However, with the help of some great person, I have regained much of my strength. That’s why elves who know how to come to the coordinates often come here to soothe their weary souls and wait for the right time together.”

“? when?”

“When the hero who is my great master and will save the Elves arrives.”

“Wow, there was someone like that. I tried to save my compatriots with all my might. That’s why I joined the warrior party. But what about the great master? hero? Who is this? When are you coming?”

“… stupid thing.”

Misha glared at him with a mixture of pity and contempt.

At first, Tiffania could not infer the reason for that gaze, but soon felt a sense of incongruity.

‘for a moment… The person who always followed this person as master, master… what? stand, please… ‘

“Did you notice now, you sinful child? Faust-nim is the savior who will restore the thousand years that were taken away from us elves. Yes, how did you insult him?”

“to? What are you talking about? What hero is Faust? He’s just a talker, a narrow-minded little man, and a criminal.”

Cheer.

Hundreds of angry eyes rained down on Tiffania.

No one dared to attack the queen, but in their hearts everyone seemed to want to attack Tiffania.

“What, what is it? Everyone knows nothing… Faust is an enemy of mankind. My, I was at best trying to get into the warrior party and promote the rights of the elves! The plan was ruined because Faust killed the hero!”

“You stupid kid. really don’t know Have you forgotten why we, who are superior to humans in terms of magic skills, are enslaved by ordinary people, not even high-ranking wizards?”

“… Isn’t it because it’s engraved with the stamp of a slave?”

“Even if you join the hero’s party, it’s only morally that we don’t treat you as a slave. They can command you at any time to imprint. How can we regain freedom when the right to life and death rests with human beings? Have you ever seen an owner who frees a slave because the slave works hard? They will only be beaten more harshly.”

“Are you denying my efforts?! She suddenly appears and is a queen… No, why would a person called the Queen side with a criminal like Faust in the first place! If you are a queen, you must stand on the side of justice!”

“Are you stupid? What was wrong with me serving Faust, the enemy of mankind, who hated mankind and even caused a war? You can’t even identify friends and family, can you?”

“… … … … ”

Come to think of it, it was.

“You are too imbued with human society… ”

“… … … … … .”

Tiffania was speechless and lowered her head. I couldn’t come up with an appropriate logic to say what to say to claim my legitimacy.

“If you lament the situation of the elves who fell into human slavery, how could you choose to be thoroughly used by humans?”

“Poem, noisy! You too are being used by a human named Faust! It’s the same that you’re a slave to humans, but don’t push me! I mean, I lived hard in my own way!”

At the moment when Tiffania couldn’t overcome her emotions and let out her anger, Misha’s eyes changed terribly and she prepared to attack.

“I warn you, never disgrace your master in front of me. You have already committed many sins, so please do not provoke my anger any more.”

“huh. What if I stimulate you? That bastard, Faust, used to run errands for my bread—”

“You fucking bitch!”

“Ugh!”

The elves were stunned and speechless when they saw foul curses coming out of the queen’s mouth.

Misha, who tried to keep her body tall because she had eyes to see, couldn’t stand her anger and cast a super-large lightning magic that would only be useful when fighting the Dragon King.

Tiffania was attacked by the notorious technique of passing current through every joint of her bones and vying for first or second place in terms of pain felt.

“In front of Misha! I’m telling you not to keep swearing at the master in front of Misha! Even if Misha tries to bear it, she just can’t stand it!”

“aaa!! It hurts! It hurts!! stop!! i lost!! I lost aaa!!”

Since there was only one place for an elf in the warriors party, and the only legal way for elves to not be treated as slaves was to join the warriors party, the competition was very fierce.

Tiffania was confident in the battle between the elves, as she took the position by directly suppressing numerous elves with her own hands.

If I had to reveal my record against the elves, it was 897 wins out of 897 matches.

However, the moment Misha’s magic hit him, he felt it.

that the dimension is different.

Far from winning, this woman could kill me in a second if she wanted to, but for some reason, she didn’t intentionally kill me, but only inflicted pain on me.

“Misha! What a Misha! I don’t know if I was embarrassed in front of the owner!!! What if the master hates Misha because of you!!!”

“Sorry aaa!!! aaa!! it hurts!!! Whoa!!!! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please stop!!”

“Stop what! It’s about to start!!!”

Mischa’s runaway, an elf mustered up the courage and said, “Hey, how about calming down a bit, Queen? Everyone is agitated… This continued until he cautiously gave advice.

“Ooooh… I hate electricity… I’m afraid of electricity… I hate electricity… ugh… ”

Tiffania, who finally finished the electric torture, was incontinent and trembled.

“Fuck… shit… It’s still far from over. For those who scorned the master, Misha will make sure to pay for everything. We elves will be happily serving Faust as our master forever, so let’s wait and see… shit… ”

Misha called out the name of an elf while trampling on the fallen Tiffania with her bare feet.

“Euponia!! It’s all because your education is wrong! is not it?!”

‘Euponia… ? uh? Its name… no way… ‘

Euphonia was the name of Tiffania’s mother, who died when she was young.

‘A place where souls gather… ‘

—Misha prepared a special scenario for Tiffania, whom she could never forgive.

A miserable fate awaited Tiffania, being abandoned by her compatriots whom she wanted to protect from now on.
