In any case, completely taken in by those words, I set up a barrier that even my own magic couldn't pass through. ...Not knowing I would regret it like this now. It felt like deep sighs were about to burst out of me, but I didn't want to show any signs of weakness in front of a tired Yul. I deliberately spoke in a more cheerful voice. "Yul, just hang in there a little longer. We're almost there! Once we get to the elf village, we'll receive generous treatment. You're my precious human, so I'll tell…- 127.4 K • Ongoing
- "Listen here, Fleabag. The black-haired one, no, Yul and I—you wouldn't know, but the human's name is 'Kwon Yul'. I asked him, and you know what, the tight-lipped human told me himself. Anyway, Yul..." I explained everything that had happened in the human realm in detail, without leaving anything out. Fleabag, who had been listening quite attentively at first, gradually started to slacken. His eyes, which had been wide open, were now half-closed, and his brow was full of…

- By the way, should I tell Lauren that it seems like we'll be staying for about a week? No, that's not right. The elves are a race subservient to me, so why would I ask for permission? A simple notice was sufficient. Yes, of course. I nodded my head, having roughly made a plan. In the morning, a visitor came to our lodgings. Long blond hair, blue eyes, a handsome man, pretty as an elf should be. It was Lauren, dressed in clothes like a monk's habit with ample room. "Lauren! You've come at a good time.…

- I waved my hand, stopping Lauren mid-sentence. What was with the long preamble? “So what is it you’re trying to say right now.” “A messenger who was staying in the human world has delivered a dispatch. An oracle has been given.” “An oracle?” “Yes, we were unable to learn the full details, but... it seemed to be an oracle related to the destruction of the world.” Lauren’s following words were quite surprising. The ‘destruction’ of the world? As the one who maintains…

- “Illy.” “Yeah.” I sat down as if he hadn’t just woken up. Yul, looking at me, let out a low voice. “...I want to leave.” “Huh? You want to go for a walk?” Yul shook his head. Then where does he want to go? I pondered for a moment, then asked about the one thing that came to mind. “Do you want to leave the elf village?” This time, he nodded his head. Meaning that was the right answer. Hmm... this is trouble. Very troublesome. Frowning, I tapped the back of…

- The dwarves, a race living on a volcanic island. Dwarves were a small race, just over a meter tall, and a race of artisans with delicate and strong dexterity that could rival the gods. They were very good at making ‘weapons’. Weapons, weapons huh. I glanced at Yul. If Yul was a hero… then Yul would need a weapon too. A weapon so very, very strong that it would never break, one that could protect Yul in a crisis. “Hmm…” There were weapons made by dwarves piled up in the lair, but there…

- “Your face is red. Is it because our lips bumped?” “…” “Don’t be embarrassed. I liked it!” “…You liked it?” Yul asked, covering his lips. I nodded and smiled brightly. “Yup yup. I didn’t know, but I think I like kissing you. Do you dislike it?” “…” After a moment’s hesitation, Yul gave a small shake of his head. The displeasure I had felt from realizing there was a Yul I didn't know vanished as if washed away. If Yul doesn’t dislike it either,…

- In the end, I gave up on trying to act calm and grabbed Yul’s hand. Yul, who had been closing his eyes and concentrating, suddenly opened them. The mana that had been gathering lost its gravitational pull for a moment and scattered. “Yul, do you know what you just did? It was totally amazing! You’re the first human to succeed in gathering mana this quickly…!” I couldn’t finish my sentence and came to an abrupt halt. Yul was a special human. Just seeing him accept mana so easily now was…

- Lauren, who had answered with ‘duty,’ showed no stir of emotion on his face. “Duty, you say...” The duty of observing the end of the world was mine as well as Lauren’s. But why did Lauren and I feel such different emotions? I felt a very faint curiosity. “Aren’t you bored?” “Of what, may I ask?” “Of upholding your duty. You must be around 3,000 years old, so you’ve been observing this flower field for roughly 3,000 years.” At my words, Lauren stopped walking. I…

- Fortunately, Yul hadn't gone far. Thanks to that, I caught up with him in no time, but there was a visitor waiting for us. An elderly dwarf with a neatly braided white beard, smiling with his wrinkled eyes crinkled. "So you were here!" It was the chief. I greeted the chief, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, warmly. "Chief, did you finish making the weapon before you came out?" "Of course! You'll surely be impressed when you see it." The chief let out a hearty "Uahaha" laugh and pounded his…
