*Yukinari*

We, who were able to arrive at the plaza thanks to Yoru, were assaulted by the countless number of peoples killing intent.

However, perhaps it was because we had a hostage, they did not attack.

When I surveyed our surroundings, there were elves with their bows and arrows notched all around us, surrounding us.

Amelia will stay on top of Yoru. Yoru, Im counting on you.

Leave it to me, Master-dono! I wont let them lay a finger on Miss Amelia.

I pulled Liam Gladiolus who had fainted down from Yoru.

Perhaps it was because this guy was an ikemen, his treatment was also rough.

Maa, it couldnt be helped.

Obviously, it would be best if everyone who are so beautiful that they enjoy everything that life has to offer perished.

You bastard!! For you to treat Liam-sama like that!!!

Among the elves who notched their bows and arrows, one hot-blooded elf shouted this.

I see, it seems that this guy was loved in his own way.

The fact that theyre not attacking meant that, his status too was high, in a way.

If you want this guy to be returned uninjured, let us, let Amelia, pass.

When I shouted that and thrusted my hidden weapon at Liam Gladioluss throat, the elves noticeably faltered.

Even so, they didnt make an immediate decision.

Among them, there were also elves who were glancing back repeatedly, seemingly waiting for something.

Come to think of it, it seems like the elf whos the leader was not here.

They were being lead, but there was no one issuing instructions.

sh*t! The likes of you barbaric humans, if Kirika-sama was here, even if Liam-sama was taken hostage, she would kill you in one blow.

Flowing in the wind, even those kinds of words could be heard. I see, were these guys waiting for that Kirika-sama.

When push comes to shove, lets chop down the sacred tree with shadow magic.

Un, lets do that.

You bastard! What are you smiling for!

The elf who shouted before shouted again.

So annoying.

Why dont I give him a taste of what I did to Liam Gladiolus.

I tried to take out a magic stone.

However, a voice filled with panic could be heard from behind me and I stopped what I was doing.

Miss Amelia?

No! Akira, Kirika is!

When I turned around, Amelia was bent over on top of Yoru.

Her breathing was rough, it was as if she was on the verge of hyperventilation.

Amelia?

Kirika is! No!

When I patted her on the back, her breathing settled down a little.

The elves saw such an Amelia, and were whispering.

Look, she became like that because she did things like harassing Kirika-sama.

Its divine punishment from Aitel-sama.

The unwanted child became like that because she wanted something that was beyond her means.

I could hear the elves saying those things.

They probably spoke so loudly on purpose so that we would be able to hear them.

Amelias body was trembling.

Dont say whatever you want.

However, I didnt know anything about Amelia.

What I knew was, Amelia harassing someone and the like, she wasnt a woman who would do something that had no benefit.

However, that should be enough.

I tapped on Amelias head with a ponpon.

Her breathing evening out, Amelia looked over at me although she was exhausted.

Naa, Amelia, those guys are saying that you harassed that guy named Kirika, but what do you think of it?

.

Amelias eyes widened, and didnt say anything.

If you say that you didnt do it, Ill believe you. besides, they definitely think that its harassment though. You wouldnt do, something so childish, right?

un. I wouldnt. I, didnt do anything like harass Kirika.

When I asked that in a way that those around us could hear, Amelia, who understood my intention, similarly said that loudly and clearly.

I grinned.

Thats how it is? You elves.

Thats obviously a lie. Why do you believe the words of that unwanted child?

A different voice, pierced through the plaza.

It was an unpleasant voice, one that was intrusive and disturbing.

I unconsciously frowned.

Kirika-sama!

Now that Kirika-samas come, everything is fine now!

Relief washed over the elves.

I turned towards the person who spoke.

Ame,lia??

The colors of her hair and eyes were different, but an elf that looked exactly like Amelia came walking out from among the elves.

Also, the size of her chest was different as well.

Her attire as well, the clothes were of a much higher quality than the other elves.

Obviously, she was royalty.

She was the unpleasant sort of royalty.

That is Kirika. My younger sister.

I heard Amelia say that with a trembling voice.

I see, this guys Kirika, huh.

Theyre similar, but not alike.

A golden dog tag was pretentiously hanging down to her chest, and she very obviously had an arrogant look on her face.

The shape of their faces were similar, but it was a big difference from Amelias expressionless face.

Fuun, youre not flustered even when you see me. How bold. Maa, Im grateful that you brought back a criminal that had escaped.

Kirika said that, and she brushed back her golden hair that was shining so much more than any other elves here, looking at me with her blue eyes.

After that, she brushed me, who was holding onto Liam, aside, and approached Amelia who was on top of Yoru.

Aah, aneue. Its been a long time. I, the injury that I received from aneue still hasnt healed yet, you know? Here, please take a look.

Kirika said that, and rolled up the sleeves on her arm in way that even I was able to see.

The elves around us grimaced.

There were traces of a cruel burn on that jade-like skin.

It had not completely healed, the new skin was not able to be restored to be like what it was before.

The elves around us saw that and they all grieved.

Amelia saw that and hung her head.

Kirika saw her like that and her eyes were glaringly bright.

Aneue is fine right, since youre the miko, no matter how injured you are, you wont die.

Ki, Kirika, apologize to Akira.

Ha?

The beautiful face turned extremely unsightly, Amelia lifted her head and said that to Kirika, who declared that.

Kirika was instantly dumbfounded.

I too, looked at Amelia, wondering why she said something in a situation like this.

Amelia stopped making that frightened face that she had up until now and although she was trembling, she was looking directly at Kirika.

Kirika, apologize to Akira, you tried to cast charm on him, didnt you.

Even if I cast charm or something, this man is already mine. It has nothing to do with aneue, right?

This time, Amelia looked at me.

The look in her eyes told me that, she believed in me.

I grinned.

Just when did I become someones thing?

When I said that, Kirika once again looked at me.

Why, why are you not enchanted? This kind of man, even if I didnt use something like magic, my own charm should sweep him off his feet?

Thats my line, why cant I not be enchanted by someone like you who has a terrible personality. Even I have the right to choose.

When I met Amelias eyes, she was smiling happily.

Looking at this situation, Kirika impatiently shouted at the elves around us.

Everyone, shoot Amelia and this man with arrows.

B, but, Kirika-sama, they have Liam-sama as a hostage!

Kirika arched her eyebrows.

Liam and I, which one of us should not be injured, I think you guys know.

Un, understood.

The elves, enveloped their bows and arrows that they had notched until now with killing intent and drew them back.

Kirika, in an instant, separated from us.

Looking at that agility of hers, it seems that she actually had real abilities.

Amelia, Yoru, come closer to me.

Are you ok? Master-dono.

I did not answer them, I just held my hand in front of me.

Te!!!

Shadow Magic.

Shadow magic activated at the same time as when the elves all simultaneously shot their arrows.

Because there wasnt a lot of shadow, it could only protect us, but that was enough.

Our shadows wiggled, and ate up all of the arrows that came flying.

The plaza, fell into complete silence.
