Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 196:

The elves who came to visit me.

Their eyes looking at me were full of worry.

He looked at my body and occasionally glared at the elves I had captured.

“Are you okay?”

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

He checks my well-being with a somewhat anxious look on his face.

As they glanced at me, I felt like I had some idea of what they were worried about.

‘Are you worried that I might not come to heal the World Tree?’

It’s not that I couldn’t understand why people were worried about that.

The World Tree is their lifeline, so they have no choice but to worry.

“Nothing happened.”

He said while looking around at them.

There wasn’t much going on against these guys.

However, I did meet some barbarians and had some work with the World Tree.

I didn’t have anything to do with those guys.

Because they are not my opponents in the first place.

“But may I ask why you came out together?”

The elder approaches and asks.

He was the person I spoke to with respect ever since my treatment of the World Tree showed results.

Seeing as he didn’t ask me why he was tied up, I think he roughly understood the situation.

“As you can see, he attacked me. So, it was inevitable that I would do this, but shall I let you go?”

“Oh no. “Your benefactor must have had a reason for everything.”

The elder waved his hand, saying there was no need to do that.

“It’s just our family’s fault, so can we be held accountable?”

“Aren’t you asking what I did wrong?”

“Just entering the sanctuary without permission is a sin that must be dealt with severely. However, he even attacked his benefactor, so you can tell his crime without even looking at it.”

“Hmm….”

“And even if we don’t have a hard time catching the benefactor, we have spirits. “The spirit will tell them every detail of their sins.”

“Oh, I see.”

If you say that much, there is no need for me to say more.

As I was about to move on, I suddenly remembered the elf who had been taken over by barbarians.

Asking a spirit means telling it what happened to the elf.

If that happens, my name will inevitably come up.

Although there wasn’t much to worry about, there was still something to be done.

The very fact that I went there with an elf could have been a problem.

I added words to the elder who was taking the traitors away.

“Oh, and there will be no one there. “It’s because of me.”

“yes?”

Oh, when I say it this way, does it mean something strange?

When I think about what I said, I find it a little strange.

So I corrected my words.

“He died because of me.”

No, this is also strange.

The faces of the elders and elves looking at me darken.

The elder frowned and asked what that meant.

“Let’s go to the barbarians together….”

When I try to shorten it, the words become strange.

I scratched my head and told him about my encounter with traitors.

I saw the elves working on the World Tree and went to investigate the matter with one of them, but then I encountered the barbarians and I was the only one who was able to escape.

Only after saying that did they clear up the misunderstanding.

“Oh, it’s okay. “You did it for us.”

The elder went over it more coolly than expected.

It must have been a bad thing for them to be taken away by barbarians, but they didn’t seem to care at all.

“Rather, I should be grateful. “Thanks to my benefactor’s move, I learned that there were barbarians behind it.”

It didn’t look okay… it didn’t look good.

I could see him just trying to stay calm and be okay.

Seeing how he was trying to think positively, I stopped talking further.

There was nothing more to say.

“Then I guess I’ll have to go back soon. “There are people waiting.”

“Ah… Still. “It’s late. Why don’t you go to sleep?”

“Go to sleep?”

“yes.”

I couldn’t help but be surprised by those words.

They are elves who completely reject existence other than their own kind.

They are so picky that just entering the forest, let alone letting them into the village, can be considered incredible.

You told me to go to sleep.

It was even more of a shock than when I was told to go eat ramen.

For a moment, I wondered if I was crazy.

‘No, if you think about it, isn’t it really strange?’

Anyway, I was the one who came to help them, and now I have even found the cause of the world tree withering.

Since they said they were my benefactors, it was natural that they would treat me well.

And there was also the word of the world tree.

‘You said that as long as you are alive, the favor of the forest clan will be with you, right? uh. It certainly did.’

Since the World Tree has said such things, it is no wonder that they have a lot of favor towards me.

“Go to sleep….”

To be honest, I’m a little tempted.

The elf forest, especially the elf village, is rich in mana.

Since it was next to the World Tree, there was nothing like that.

Therefore, if you do the Auror practice here, it will be more efficient.

You can gain mana just by breathing, and there is no better training ground than this.

Although I don’t really use any Auror training techniques, it’s not like I don’t collect Aurors.

I didn’t have my own way.

It is far from the human breathing method, so it can be seen as similar to a dragon.

This is because mana is drawn from the skin rather than the nose and mouth and used as an aura.

If you train here, you can achieve double efficiency.

“But I can’t decide on my own. I have to ask my superiors. There might be something like that here, but we have a chain of command. “We have already delayed enough time.”

“If that is the case, we will solve it. “If you use spirits, you can get answers quickly.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Well then….

“How could it not be? I would like to reward you for catching this traitor and treating my mother. Although it may not be possible to compensate for everything. “I probably won’t be able to do it for the rest of my life, but I still want to do just a little bit.”

“Hmm…”

“I think that will put our minds at ease.”

“All right. “As long as you get an answer, I have no reason to refuse.”

The elder’s face brightens.

The elder was gesturing to the elves to move the traitors to one side and he was moving with me.

“elder. “There is an intruder.”

“Why are you reporting that? Instead of dealing with it right away.”

“That’s…”

The elf approaching the elder whispers.

He looked at me and mumbled something, and the elder opened his eyes and said,

“It looks like the benefactors have come.”

***

Zenon and two rangers run through the forest.

Perhaps thanks to the peace agreement, the forest did not block their path unlike before.

Rather, it feels like paving the way toward the destination.

“Captain, this is….”

“Yes. “It’s amazing because it’s my first time seeing it in person.”

It was very surprising because it was my first time doing something like this.

However, because they had a mission, they moved quickly, hiding their true feelings.

They moved like that for a while and stopped at some point.

“In front of the captain….”

“This is….”

“Uh. “I also confirmed it.”

There were several elves in front of them as they stopped.

Behind them, two wind spirits were flying in the air.

And then a familiar face appeared in front of them.

“Sir Raymond!”

“You’re safe!”

“Everyone is worried!”

Lennon and the two rangers shout at Raymond with bright faces.

Raymond waved his hand lightly at them.

“Please go back now.”

“Too late…”

As the rangers approached Raymond, Lennon stretched out his arm to block their path.

“….”

The rangers were puzzled by his actions, but didn’t say anything.

Having lived with Lennon for a long time, I know that he is not someone who moves hastily over nothing.

Lennon pushed them back and spoke to Raymond.

“Sir Raymond.”

“yes.”

“Are you not coming back?”

“…!”

The rangers look back at Lennon with shocked faces.

He ignored their gazes and kept his eyes on Raymond.

I don’t think the rangers found it yet, but he could see it.

Raymond, who didn’t move a single step even though they were discovered.

Rather, he was scratching his cheek with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Originally, it would have been normal for people to come to themselves first before doing anything.

“It’s a bit unfair to say I’m not going back. But yes. “I’m not going back.”

“….”

The rangers’ bodies stiffened at Raymond’s words.

Lennon looks at Raymond with a slightly stiff expression.

“How should I interpret those words?”

“Oh, that was a bit strange. “I’m not going back today.”

“If you don’t go back today… does something happen?”

“yes. “I guess I’ll have to take care of you here today.”

“The commander may not give permission. “Everyone is currently worried about finding Sir Raymond.”

“I’m sorry about that. “I was careless.”

The rangers rolled their eyes and watched the situation unfold, as if they had not been able to follow the conversation between Raymond and Lennon.

“And if it’s allowed, it’s probably okay. “I found a way.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. That’s right.”

“….”

“….”

Raymond and Lennon made eye contact without speaking for a while.

For a moment, Lennon sighed softly and nodded.

“All right. “I will return and report accordingly.”

“Leader?”

“I know what you guys want to say, but don’t say it now. “Don’t forget that our mission was to ensure safety in the first place.”

“…All right.”

The rangers nod and step back.

Raymond watched them with a strange smile.

“Then we will go back. “I don’t think we should take any more time.”

“yes. “You took the trouble to come to me.”

“…no. “It’s our job.”

Lennon turned his back without hesitation.

And then he moved along with the rangers who were glancing at Raymond.

Looking at them, the elder spoke to Raymond.

“They are solid people.”

“yes. “They are great people to have your back on.”

“I think so.”

“By the way, I’d like to hear an answer.”

“ah. “It should have arrived by now, so you just have to wait a bit.”

“All right.”

“Then go back. “I’m sure they have prepared a feast.”

The elder pushes Raymond’s back.

Raymond obediently followed the touch without resisting it.

When they returned to the village and had a small party, Easton became noisy in a different way.

[Guide to the commander here!]

The wind spirit has appeared in the middle of the castle.

The wind spirit, who took the form of a man with a sturdy physique, was looking straight ahead with his arms crossed.

“What is this?”

The Marquis of Easton, who had left the building with Count Warrug, held his forehead.
