173 Chapter 172 ~Rescue 2~.txt






...... You, huh?


Lighting the torches brightened the vision of both of us, who had been too dark to see anything before.
On the other side of the iron cage towering in front of us, several women were huddled together on the other side of the iron cage, sharing their skin as if they were sharing each other's body heat.
It wasn't just the beastmen, but the elves and humans as well.
I just noticed that it was apparently colder here than on the ground.
Some of them have purple lips and are trembling.
We need to get out of here as soon as possible to warm ourselves up.


Let's talk about ...... later. Let's get out of here.


"A random flash of the Night Sword God and cut down the cage.
However, even when they were free, the women did not move.
Their gaze was on one woman.


'Let me make this clear. Are you on our side?''


Among the beautiful women who were probably of the elven race, a woman who was of the human race but had a conspicuous appearance would be asked.
Now that was respectful, but it was Amaryllis Craster, who she had shouted with hostility earlier.
There were a few elves and beastmen, and apparently they all recognized her as their leader.
Even if that wasn't the case, they seem to trust her enough to stake their future on her.


''That's right. I guess you could say that I'm on your side at the moment. ...... I am here under the direction of Princess Amelia of the Elves and Princess Leah of the Uruk State. If you don't believe in these two, you'll always be here.


I took the liberty of borrowing Amelia and Leah's names, but that's fine.
Leah is no longer a princess, but I don't think these people know that.
Most importantly, we need to get out of this place as soon as possible.
I can apologize upstairs for the deception.
It's cold here and the air is bad.

As I expected, the elven and beastman women's complexion visibly improved.
Seeing the situation, Amaryllis nodded one.


''I'm sorry for my rudeness earlier. Please help us.''


The way he was getting down on his knees in a clean manner reminded me of some social animal I met in the elven tribal territory.
I see, just like the dialect you mentioned earlier, Amaryllis is from the country of Yamato.


I'll only accept your thanks when we're all free. Those who can't get up, give them a hand. Those who are nearly immobile, me and Night will carry them.


Night nodded and climbed off my shoulder to enlarge his body.
A few screams came from the beast race, but since my life was on the line, I had no choice but to ask them to endure it.

Of the ones on the other side of the bars, only a few of the elven tribe were able to stand up and walk.
The human race, which had about two others besides the beast race and Amaryllis, were buried in the mopey bodies of the night.
At first, the beastman tribe who had screamed at first were also out of it thanks to the warm fur of the night, and they couldn't help but giggle.


'...... you're the last one. Amaryllis Cluster.


Only Amaryllis, who had been helping the others clamber over the night, shook her head at the hand I offered her and went back to where she had been sitting earlier.


'No. I will remain here. I should not live on earth.


I sighed at the eyes that reveal a strong will, and I sighed with relief.
The eyes remind me of Amelia somehow.
Apparently, she seriously intends to stay here and end her life.


''I put my life before my own and created something extraordinary. I have to make amends for that. ...... It is for those people that you have come to help, right? Please forget about me.


That being said, I don't have a brain handy enough to forget quickly, nor do I have the skills to forget.
At any rate, I urged the night to take the other women to the ground.
The night nodded and ran up the stairs, knowing by heart.
I sat down in front of Amaryllis, who looked relieved.
The torchlight illuminated Amaryllis's not-so-good pale face.
I see, she doesn't look as good as Amelia or Lattisnail, but she's got a well-defined face.
Well, it's not a good look for a naturally beautiful face to be so gaunt.


Don't get me wrong. I didn't do what you told me to do.


I only put them ahead of you because they looked like they were on the edge of their physical and mental capacities.
I said earlier, "If you don't believe me, stay here," but I'm not going to leave them behind.
Of course, I am going to help Amaryllis as well.


What do you mean by ......? If you are the messenger of the princess of the Elves and the princess of the Uruk nation, it means that Gram's evil has been exposed to the world. Or what the potion I made has caused. Otherwise, there is no way people could have come here.


He knew it was hidden, he knew it was hidden.
He looked at me quizzically.
I shrugged my shoulders and revealed my seed.


'Amelia and Ria's messenger is not exactly what it sounds like. That was a lie to reassure the elves and beastmen. I just made a promise.

'Promise, sir?'


This time he tilts his head curiously.
It seems that this Amaryllis is the type of person who often shows her face.
I answer the questioning Amaryllis.


'To save you, my dears. The elven men asked me to go and help them. ...... Apparently, I have a weakness for promises.


But, well, even if the elves hadn't asked me to help them, I would have.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us.
As soon as Amaryllis's closed-minded lifestyle started to resemble that of Amelia when she met me, I lost.
