　I wake up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A wooden wall caught my eye and I wondered where I was. Why was I unconscious in the first place?

　I wondered if Mr. Lan was walking with me.　I looked around, but she was not there. I wondered where he was. The door is on. Is it a deserted room?　But still, where am I? In a tree?　I don't know.

"You're awake."

　The door opens.

　As soon as it seems to open, the grandfather elf comes in.

　The grandfather elf looks down at me.

"Where's ...... Ran?"

　I asked him. I wondered where he was.

If it's that human woman, she's somewhere else.

　The grandfather elf not only wouldn't tell us his name, he wouldn't even call us by our names. He didn't even call us by our names. He didn't even want to recognize us individually.

So, I have a question for you.

　The grandfather elf looked down at me. I was honestly nervous about having to face the grandfather elf one-on-one. But I didn't look away from his eyes, because I knew that the conversation with him would be very important in deciding what to do next.

I looked into his eyes and asked, "What is it that you want to ...... ask me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......You can see the spirits,...... or even if you can't see them, you can feel them, can't you?"

...... spirit?"

　I nodded my head at the words I heard.

　I am not sure if I can see the genie, but I can feel it.　Even if you can't see them, do you feel them?　I wonder if the strange presence I felt had anything to do with it. Could it be that what I felt at that time was the presence of a genie?

...... mysterious magical power, the presence of a genie?"

　The old man elf let out a sigh at my words.

The old man elf sighed at my words, "How is it possible for a human, a little girl who may not even know the magic word ...... to feel the presence of a genie?

Grandfather Elf doesn't like humans?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You mean me, Grandfather Elf?　Well, it's okay, there's no way I would have good feelings for a human. Humans are such lowly creatures that they cannot even use magic and are barbaric enough to make slaves of us elves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are many kinds of humans.

"All kinds?　The humans I know are not the best creatures, at least not the good ones. The most important thing to remember is that the human being is not a good creature, at least not the one I know of. ......

　The actuality is that the old man elves who have been on the surface smiling and friendly with me and Lan actually thought about us humans in that way. Maybe all the humans who came to see the elves were such bad people. Because people who live a normal life would never go to see the elves. On the contrary, they would rarely leave the village where they were born and raised. If I had not had such an opportunity, I might not have left my village.

Don't you like them, too?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can only say that they are savage beings with the blood of beasts in their veins. Why should I like them if they can't use magic and can't feel the blessings of the spirits?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Terrible, I think. But this is how Grandfather Elf evaluates humans and beasts. But why would Grandpa Elf tell me his true feelings, which he has never revealed to us before? I don't know. I was still not sure, but Grandpa Elf continued.

He said, "---- You can see the spirits, though you are unwilling to do so. We cannot treat such a being with disregard.

　The existence of a "spirit" must be that special to the elves. This is clearly evident in Grandfather Elf's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can feel spirits. That's why the elves cannot treat me roughly, he said. Then what about everyone else?　I know they say that they can't treat me roughly, but what are they going to do about everyone else?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What will they do to the others?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sacrifice.

"Sacrifice?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know the word, but I know what it means. But I know what it means. It was in the study that Mr. Lan taught me. It is the act of offering a person as an offering to a terrifying being. The fact that they were going to sacrifice everyone made my mind go blank.

"To the ...... spirits?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't be ridiculous!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The actuality that they are going to sacrifice everyone is a complete blank in my mind. So, at his words, the grandfather elf exclaimed that it was not true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed as if he was angry that the spirit had said that he would do such a thing. The grandfather elf was angry. He looked at me with a hard gaze.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was scared, I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I had to ask him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Who then?　Besides, you said you would welcome me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I said I would welcome you to ...... as a sacrifice. How else would we elves accept humans and beastmen? Even the lower creatures are worth (・・・・) sacrificing instead.

　I was caught off guard by the grandfather elf's words. Instead, he said. Instead of whom?　I thought about it, and then I mumbled, "Instead of the elves?

Instead of the elves?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The elves were fewer in number than we were. I took it for granted. But what if they weren't?　What if there used to be more elves here?　What if they had been reduced in number by the sacrifices that Grandpa Elf was talking about?

Sacrifice to whom?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They say it is not a spirit. It is not a sacrifice to the spirits that the elves believe in, he said. Then to whom?　Who are the elves, who are good at magic and are great beings, and to whom must they offer sacrifices?

　As I was thinking this, I saw

"A demon. Intelligent demons. Like the gryphons and skyhorse that you ---- are leading."

　The grandfather elf said so.

　---- the girl and the elf 6

　（The girl, who is probably a child of God, converses with the grandfather elf. And then she learned their true intentions.)
