I am friends with griffons and skyhorse. However, I am not familiar with other demons. This is partly because I have never met anyone other than the demons I am friends with. I love griffons and skyhorse. They are demons, but I think we understand each other. However, there are many terrible demons in the world.
I knew this as knowledge, but I understand that I did not understand it as a fact. I was more shocked than I thought that demons like the gryphons and seafo were asking the elves for sacrifices.
'Can't you do something about that demon, ......?'
The elves are being sacrificed, the grandfather elf said. That is not what the grandfather elf would have wanted. If that is the case, can't we do something about it?
If I could, I would have done it by now.
"Can't we escape from the monster?
If we cannot do anything about the being that sacrifices us, can we not escape from the place where that terrible thing exists? Just as all of us and all of the beastmen fled from the land of man. We could just run away, that's what I think. But the old man elf was furious at me for saying such a thing.
You can't do that!
I shouted. I was shouting.
The grandfather elf must have a reason for not being able to leave this place. If he couldn't do anything about the monster, would the grandfather elf do something terrible like sacrificing everyone? If so, what could I do? What should I do? I thought desperately about it. First of all, I have to ask. How did I end up in a situation where I had to make a sacrifice?
Why?
"There is a spirit tree at .........."
A genie, a tree? Is that where it is said to give birth to spirits?
It is not a place where it is said to be, it is actually a place where the spirits light up their precious lives. He can do whatever he wants with the tree at any time. He can't just leave the tree and go somewhere else.
I wonder if the reason the grandfather elf is telling me so many stories is because I can see the spirits.
The genie tree is real. Spirits are born in that place. The tree where spirits are born is real. The place where the being I sense is born. It resides there. If the tree of the ......... spirit was something unimportant to the elves, they would have fled from this place and that would have been the end of it. The reason they can't do that is because there is something important to the elves, the spirit tree.
The tree lights the life of the genie. The spirits grow up in the tree over a long period of time. And then they grow up ...... and spread their wings to the world. He makes a contract with us elves who take care of the spirit tree. The rest of the spirits live in the world as they please. There are those who can see like you in ....... Some spirits make contracts with them.
...... I have sensed only the spirits who are with Grandfather Elf.
The spirits that many of the elves make a contract with. But all I could sense was the magic on the grandfather elf's side. What does that mean?
I was told, "......The genie stays in the genie tree at a certain time of the year. And he rests in the genie tree. Because of that demon, the genie is not resting in the genie tree to his satisfaction. Depending on the time of the return of the long-lived genie, that demon has come to stay in the genie tree. My genie was a genie with a certain amount of power, so even you can feel it. Many spirits have become so weak that they cannot feel. In addition, that demon eats even the spirits."
...... devour spirits?
If we, the ...... elves, refuse the sacrifice, it will eat the life that has just been lit on the spirit tree, it will eat the spirits that we have contracted with, and if we, the elves, are unable to bear it and sacrifice, the spirits that have contracted with those elves will go out of control or be eaten by that demon. The demon will eat us."
The grandfather elf said something like that. The things that you value will be eaten by demons. I am horrified when I think about it. The reason why the grandfather elf is trying to make sacrifices to the beastmen and Lan-san, who are very important to me, is because he has witnessed such things over and over again, and his heart has been worn out.
I don't know how long it has been going on, with our people being eaten, and our beloved spirit beings being eaten, but I am sure it has been long enough for us humans, and the elves who probably hate the beastmen, to compromise on letting us live in the village all the way down.
'......... Grandfather elves are going to let everyone else be eaten by those demons instead?'
Yes, they will. If it means that the spirit tree, the spirits, and us elves can live.
The reason why the elves don't tell me their names is because they don't care about us. I am sure they think we are the ones who will soon be sacrificed. I think so after listening to .......
If I don't do anything, if I don't move, will we all die without everyone knowing about that horrible demon or the situation of the elves? I don't want that. I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your life is to be a good person.
I'm not talking about .......
I don't like the idea of sacrificing everyone. I love you and all the beastmen. I don't like it, so I want to do something about the demons.
The "......" is something we elves couldn't do anything about, right? I'm not sure how much more we humans and beastmen can do about it.
The old man elf looked down at me as if he was annoyed.
I said to him.
When I met the elves, I thought it would be nice to get to know them.
How wonderful, I thought.
I thought, "How wonderful it would be if a beastman with great physical ability and an elf who is good at magic ......... could join hands with a race of people who are different in what they are good at."
What do you ...... mean?"
The grandfather elf said as if he didn't know what I was going to say.
I'm not sure if I can help you, but with my contracted griffons and seafos, I think I can do anything.
The old man elf did not say anything to my words. I said to the old man elf, who did not reply.
I think that if we all work together, we can defeat the demons that the elves alone couldn't defeat. I don't want to say that we can't do it without trying. I think we can do what one race couldn't do if we all work together.
The elves may have given up on the fact that they could not win. But --- that's because the elves fought alone.
We should join forces and defeat the demons. If we keep on giving sacrifices, nothing will change. Bad things will continue to happen, and that's all. It's better to defeat them than to keep on giving sacrifices.
I said and looked at the old man elf.
----- the girl and the elf 7
(Maybe the girl, who is a godchild, heard the elf's story and suggested that. I couldn't just sit here and do nothing.)
