"Where are we? ...... I thought we were in an underground dungeon. ......

　Shizuku was standing in a forest-like place full of nature.
　Even though he had entered the underground dungeon with Allen and the others, he found himself here.

　There was no sign of Allen or Jose around, and I was in a quarantined situation.
　I should probably look for them right now, but I have no idea where I should go.

　It was such a vast area.

"Sister, sister, sister. The humans are here.

"Yes, Iris.

　The blond-haired elf sisters appeared in front of the bewildered Shizuku.
　They are so beautiful that even Shizuku, a man of the same s*x, can't help but think so.

　The richness of nature in the area made her feel as if she was looking at a painting.

"Sister, sister, should we defeat this human?

"Yes, Iris. That's right, Iris. The Demon Lord ordered us to do it, so we have to do it.

　While Shizuku was gazing at her, the sisters seemed to have decided to recognize her.
　It seems that they've also recognized him as an enemy.

　This reminded me that we are in an underground dungeon.
　These two elven sisters were also worthy enemies who were trying to kill him.

　Shizuku drew his sword to show his hostility.

"Elves. If you run now, I'll let you go. Choose.

"Sister Tise, she's saying something. She doesn't know her place.

Oh, come on. You're only human.

　Shizuku's bluff had no effect on the two of them. In fact, they were being made fun of.
　This attitude is probably due to their absolute confidence in their own abilities.

　If they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and ability, they will be forced to fight a very tough battle.

"The Fairy Servant".

　The elf sisters were the first to move.
　The younger sister, called Iris, had several fairies set up against Shizuku.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

"New Year's Slash!

　You can't let the elf get close to you carelessly now that you don't know what kind of effect it has.
　With his well-honed swordsmanship, he slices through a fairy the size of a dragonfly.

　The fairy that she sliced with such dexterity disappeared with a glow that was almost beautiful.
　It is unclear if there is a limit to the amount of fairies Iris can use, but Shizuku is left with no choice but to continue this task.

　However, the incident occurred at the twentieth fairy when his concentration began to wane.

"What?

　Suddenly, a pain shot through his arm.
　When I looked at the spot, I saw that a fairy that had escaped Shizuku's swordplay was attached to it.
　You try to pull it off, but it's already too late.

　The fairy melted into the skin and disappeared into the interior.
　The expression "assimilated into the skin" was perfect.

"Or my body.

　With the fairy inside, Shizuku's body began to go numb as if he had been struck by lightning.
　This is a typical symptom of paralysis.
　Symptoms that he hadn't experienced for many years due to his resistance ran through Shizuku's body as if it were revenge.

"Sister, the plan worked!　Praise me, praise me.

"Okay, okay. "Okay.

　Tise stroked Iris's head as she called up a spirit.
　It's an elf-like ability to use the sisters together.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
　The spirits are melting into my arms right before my eyes.

"Ugh!　Uppu......

　What came to Shizuku was an overwhelming feeling of nausea.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

(Status Abnormal and Status Down ......!　I can't believe they came at the same time--anyway, I'm in trouble!)

　Shizuku realizes the horror of this situation.
　It's a conditional abnormality and a status down, so it doesn't directly affect your life.
　However, his body is wasting away to the point where it is a miracle that he is still conscious.
　The fact that I was being kept alive without being able to move was more frightening than anything else.

"Sister, what are you going to do with this human?

Well, ...... there's nothing to say about that, so maybe I'll give it to Rose.

That's a good use. You're a genius.

　In his fading consciousness, Shizuku could not help but be terrified of what was about to happen to him.
