90-Episode 90 Slaves, Life-Saving




 If I were to reach the lake above me on my own, I would have a hard time finding the time.
 It may have been fortuitous that the wind spirits offered to help me.
 Aside from the speed at which we moved, the most helpful thing was that we didn't run into any spirits or fairies unnaturally.

"You didn't run into any other spirits.

They all run away when I approach.

...... I think I'm starting to understand what kind of spirit you are.

Are you sure?

 I'm sure you've heard of it.
 As we proceeded down the pillar-like corridor connecting heaven and earth, the gravity gradually changed direction, and before we realized it, the heavens and earth had already reversed.

We're almost there, do you want to keep going until the end?

No, I'll refrain from going into it without a fight, as it would put Ainess in a bad position.

"Hmmm ......

 I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and the best way to get in touch with us, you can call us at our own web site.

 On the shore of such a lake, water spirits were gathered in such numbers that they could be seen even from a distance, talking to each other.
 Each of them had their own unique appearance, ranging from translucent to fully humanoid, like Ainess.


Ainez never talks, does she? She hasn't talked since she came back.

It would be so much easier if she could just talk about humans.

 As I hid in the shade of a tree and listened carefully, I could hear the water spirits talking about Ainez.
 Fiel also sat on my shoulder and looked at me, but the important wind spirit had disappeared.

I've heard that there are signs that someone has broken into the spirit world.

Elf? It's been a while.

That's not quite what I was thinking. It seems that humans have come here along with the elves.

 As soon as one of the water spirits said this, I could feel the tension in the surrounding spirits.
 The air was tense, and the surface of the lake, which until now had reflected the light as beautifully as glass, was filled with violent waves.

"Humans? If we don't find them and get rid of them soon, this is unprecedented.

The world will be blighted. Where did the elves bring them?

 From the panic in the air, I could tell that things were bad.
 It is nearly impossible to find Ainez without being noticed by the water spirits who are discussing disturbing things in front of you.
 There was no sign of the Ainess we were looking for, and the wind spirits, who should have known the details, were nowhere to be seen, wasting our time.

How about I distract the spirits while Mr. Walth searches for Ainess?

"No. They're looking for Phiel, who led me here. They won't let them get away with it once they have Feeel.

 If they find me, they'll attack without listening to us.
 I don't know what will happen to Fiel.
 I need to somehow get past those eyes and find Ainess. ----.

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about?

You, Pit! Why are you here?

 Suddenly, the unbelievable unfolds before your eyes.
 Suddenly, something unbelievable happens in front of me. I see a wind spirit that was supposed to be gone, and that spirit is jumping into a group of water spirits.
 It was obvious from the expression on the wind spirit's face that it was not for us.
 The innocent look of malice on his face, the very look he had when he had asked me to kill him.
 The palms of my clenched hands were sweating, and my breathing was quickening.

I wonder why you are here? This is the home of our water spirits.

"Because you were talking about something interesting. You were talking about humans.

That's none of your business. I don't have time for you.

I don't know if I can say that. I don't have time to deal with you.

 It's not like he came here to help us, after all.
 He just wants to have some fun with us, I thought as I signaled to Pheuel with my eyes that it was time to run.

What do you mean? Did you encounter an intruder?

Yes, that human is hiding in that tree over there.

 The moment Pit, the wind spirit, pointed at me, I ran out of there with Phiel.
 But there was no way to escape, because it was completely in the territory of the water spirits, and immediately a huge wall of water surrounded the area, blocking the way.
 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

"There really are humans here.

It looks like the elves are with them.

Let's get rid of them.

Let's do it. Then we'll have nothing to worry about.

 One by one, the water spirits emerged from the wall of water and said coldly, as if they were going about their business without any particular hostility.

I'm just here to talk to you, Ainess. Then I'll be out of here.

"Ainess? She brings nothing but trouble.

We don't care what happens to humans because it's none of our business.

 There's nothing more annoying than a spirit that's completely ready to kill.
 They erase the concept of discussion and shift to clear and simple thinking, which can be considered short-sighted.
 What can be solved by force, let's solve it quickly and easily.

Wait, please listen to me too," Phiel said as she jumped in front of me with her hands outstretched.

"Elves are just as guilty. Bringing a human into this world is a mortal sin.



You must atone for your sins with your body, just as humans do," one of the water spirits said coldly.

 At the same time, hundreds of water spears, too huge to be avoided, appeared above their heads and covered the sky.
 They were too numerous to be unharmed, and too dense with magic power to be destroyed in the flesh.
 As if on cue, the water spears began to descend in unison.
