In a forest without tigers, the fox is king?
To Elisa, that statement was terribly wrong. If tigers were gone, their place would naturally be taken by wild beasts like bears and wolves.
And Elisa, who had lived half her life in the forest, thought of herself as a wolf or a bear.
'On the topic of a bitch. Messing with an elf's stuff?'
There is a saying among humans: Give to humans what is human, and to elves what is elven.
The two races have different things they have and want. So, instead of picking on each other and making a fuss, they should live together in compromise.
Now this wizard is presumptuously coveting the property of an elf who is called the Sage of the Forest. How vile is that?
'It wasn't like this in the old days…'
Even in Elisa's parents' generation, hundreds of years ago, humans admired elves.
Because of their beautiful appearance and the wisdom they have accumulated over hundreds of years of living, they are truly something that no human can imitate. Wasn't it said that they were praised as a kind of distant relative of God?
However, after the Demons invaded, such customs almost disappeared.
'Those damn demon lords.'
The monsters attacked not only humans, but also the elves living in the forest. They wanted to cut down the trees they lived in and make them their territory.
The elf whose nose had become a stone had eventually had to form an alliance with the 'lower races' that he had looked down on so much. This completely changed his mysterious appearance of living in the forest and hiding his true self.
It felt as if the man had changed into a different person when his pretty and smart girlfriend became his wife.
The elegant dignity has disappeared without a trace, and only arrogant nobles who only look out for their own interests remain.
'It's annoying… . You're a human who can't even live half of half of half of what I do.'
The jealous elf was already far away. Camilla, who hadn't missed the sound, looked back at her and burst out laughing. As if it was a joke.
"Valley, shall we play a fun game?"
"No."
"… Oh my, I'm bored."
"I'm not bored."
After finally getting a honey chest from Camilla, Valley agreed to participate in the fun game.
"Have you heard of the Mana Oath game? It's famous among wizards… . I heard that even regular people play it often these days?"
"Uh… I think I know what it is."
Due to the nature of their powers, wizards are very easy to fool. It's easy to disguise something worthless as expensive gold.
That's why wizards swear by mana. If they break their promise, the blood will flow backwards and stop the heart.
"I'm not a wizard. I can't do things like the Oath of Mana."
Even if you could, it would be meaningless. Valytics is a demon lord who flows with magic, not mana.
"Just imitating. Just imitating! It's not really happening."
"It already seems like it's not fun… ."
"Hmm."
Valley, who didn't want to get hit the second time, kept his mouth shut. That woman's fist was stronger than he thought. It really hurt so badly…
"Okay! So you agree? Let's begin."
What is he trying to do? Elisa stared blankly for a moment at what her colleague was trying to do.
"The game is simple. Raise one hand and say, "From now on, I swear to the goddess that I will tell the truth…." Try it."
"From now on, I swear to the goddess that I will tell only the truth… ?"
If you're talking about a goddess, isn't that a crazy woman who hates Ballistics and her kind? Even if you swear to her, what's the use?
"Okay! From now on, we're going to take turns asking questions during the game. When you're asked a question, you have to answer truthfully."
"Couldn't you be lying?"
"That should be left to the conscience of the people."
Conscience? That is the most unsuitable word for the Demon King.
And in Valitics's eyes, this woman was not very conscientious either. Wasn't she an evil woman who made excuses and attacked him? She was a woman who grew up with no morals.
"Then let me ask you a question first. Valley, are you lying to us?"
There is. I am one of the seventy-two evil ones, and I have infiltrated to take your throats.
Of course, Valley, who had neither the guts nor the reason to say that, smiled slightly and said.
"There is none. There is no such thing."
"Really? Hmm… . It looks like it to me. Isn't it? Elisa."
"Well. Belly can't lie. Look at her face. She's so stupid. How can you fool people with a face like that?"
Elisa muttered bluntly. She was seriously dissatisfied with the situation. She was even more concerned that Sloan would wake up, and that she couldn't use force.
"Is it my turn then? Camilla. Do you have any experience with men?"
"None."
When he answered as soon as he finished speaking, Valley was slightly surprised.
'That bitch touches the butt of a guy she just met? This is crazy.'
Those words didn't seem like a lie… Valley shrank even further when he realized that the woman sitting in front of him was a lunatic beyond common sense.
"Is it my turn again? Valley, are you feeling sorry?"
"No."
"Hmm… . I guess you really have sex with Elisa."
Can that be called sex? Suddenly, Valley felt angry. The violent situation he had been in for the past few weeks came to mind.
"Camilla, why are you hanging out with Sloan?"
"Sloan fought with the Tower Master and took me. Eeee. He declared that he wanted me as a comrade as soon as he saw me. I don't know why. He took Riley and Elisa that way too."
The warrior chose his companions spontaneously. This was different from the previous warriors. Unlike them, who chose carefully selected and qualified people to challenge the Demon King, Sloan formed a party solely out of pure interest.
And surprisingly, all of the colleagues he chose were outstanding geniuses.
"My turn again! This time, let me ask you a more special question…. Do you want to be Sloan's lover?"
"No, not at all."
The answer came almost immediately. Is it true that the gorilla is not human? It is so scary that I don't even want to imagine becoming a lover…
"Camilla, what are you planning to do with me?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Do you want to ask again?"
"You didn't play this game to do something weird to me. What are you going to do from now on?"
"Ah—! That's what it means? That's right. I'm going to do something weird to you."
Should I kill him?
Elisa really wanted to kill Camilla for daring to touch what was hers. If Sloan hadn't been there, she would have really pulled the trigger.
"Then my question!"
Camilla laughed sheepishly. For a moment, Valley's guard was lowered by her stupid expression.
"Are you dating Elisa?"
"… ."
"Answer, should I? You've been doing well so far. Okay?"
It's fucked up. It's a total failure.
If you say 'yes' here, Elisa will really get her hands on you legally. She won't hesitate to do even more dirty things.
What if you say 'no'? There will be a thorough retribution. From Elisa's fists to Camilla's sexual assault.
The former would be better, but Valley didn't want to be harassed by anyone.
"Valley? Why can't you answer? Surely you're not implying that Elisa lied to all of us?"
"You're probably embarrassed. If I may answer for you, yes. That's right."
"Elisa, I never asked you? If you want to play a game, let's do it next time."
These fucking bitches! What the hell is this? Valley looked back and forth between the two, his heart pounding.
"Answer me. You and Elisa aren't dating, right? You're right. If you really were, you would have told me a long time ago. Just like before."
"I mean… ."
At that moment, Ballistics realized his mistake.
If that were the case, it would only bother Elisa. But in this case… isn't it an ambiguous answer, neither yes nor no?
"hiccup."
"As expected, Valley can't lie. You're right. That's right, Elisa. When Valley lies, it shows on his face? How cute."
Camilla smiled as if she was very confident. So brightly… so that her silly face lit up.
"So what? Valley and I are going to get married anyway, and that won't change anything. And you know very well that you can't dare interfere in that situation."
"Well?"
"You're trying to take it by force? Sloan will fall for it easily. Yeah? Kill me and let that gorilla tear your balls off. "
Camilla, who had soon stopped laughing, stared at her. What emotion was in those purple eyes? Hatred?
Valley knew it didn't matter.
"Elisa. I've become so strong thanks to Sloan. Do you know what I mean? So much so that I don't feel burdened at all when I put useless things in subspace."
"Wait, you… ."
"It won't hurt. Maybe? You're an elf. You should be out in about 30 minutes. See you later!"
Ziying! Suddenly, space split open and sucked Elisa in. It was so fast that even the elf with her excellent reflexes couldn't react.
"Then, Valley."
What should I do for fun from now on?
Camilla didn't say anything. The new game was pretty rough.
