Don't move. Do you know that this is our elven territory?
We had come to the great forest area far southeast of Estona in pursuit of Kanan, the saint of the "bow" who had turned into a black form, but we were now in the middle of being surrounded by them in the village of the elves.
Originally, we were supposed to hit Canaan directly before he reached the village, but he seemed to have noticed our presence and went into hiding in the trees, which made the search difficult.
Since even Shiva's "eyes" could not pinpoint his exact location, we could not attack him recklessly, so we came to warn the elves of the danger.
But of course they would not be wary of us, strangers, and we were completely surrounded.
Come to think of it, this had happened before.
I remember being attacked without question by Iris's sisters, and then being surprised when all of them said they could sense the presence of a saint.
Yes, of course. I am Shiva, the saint of the shield. This is Xana, also a saint of the bow, and this is Iguza, our darling and a hero of salvation.
"A saint and a hero of salvation. ......?"
The one who raised her eyebrows quizzically with her bow at the ready was a fair-skinned beauty with pointed ears and light pigmented hair.
The other elves are all similar in appearance, and it seems that many of them are excellent looking, regardless of gender.
Yes, they are. "Yes, yes, the name 'Canaan' sounds familiar, doesn't it?
"Hey, Xana!
We'll find out later, won't we? I think it's better to get on with it now.
I'm going to go to ...... and see what I can find out. Okay.
The first priority now is certainly the safety of the elves, although I was thinking about letting them at least keep their honor as saints.
As I nodded to Xana's words, the woman asked with a surprised look on her face, "Why do you know the name of his people?
How do you know the name of his people?
She nodded and said, "We came here to explain and to warn you. We are here to explain and warn you, so why don't you put down your weapons? We are not your enemies.
Zanah tried her best, but the woman shook her head and said, "No, we can't do that.
No, we can't do that. Even if you knew the name of this abomination, you have entered our territory without our permission. You will be detained as you are.
Oh, that's a problem. We can't afford to take that kind of time.
I had no choice but to explain directly to her, so I raised my voice to her.
Please! Please listen to me! There is a great crisis in our village right now!
...... big crisis?"
Yes! We are here to protect you from Canaan, the saint of the bow, controlled by the goddess Feenis! Only we, who have the power of the five goddesses, can purify Canaan now! So please evacuate before Canaan gets here!"
「「「「「--!?」」」」」
At that moment, I could see that there was an upheaval among the elves, including the woman in question.
In the midst of it, the woman lowered her bow with a mysterious look on her face and said, "I don't believe it.
I never thought I'd hear the name Feenis come out of a human's mouth,....... And this great power I feel from you ....... It seems that what you have just said is true.
Then..."
I'm not sure how much I can afford to lose. Therefore, you are--"
And.
"Guoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
--DOOPAN!!!
「「「「「「「「--What!?」」」」」」」」
Suddenly, Kanan, his entire body enveloped in a black aura, leaps out from behind a tree and fires a powerful blow at the woman.
It ripped through the air and flew straight toward the woman, ruthlessly attempting to pierce her slender body.
--But the woman's body was not to be.
"What ......?"
I won't let you ......!"
The woman was completely blocked by my "shield" just before the attack.
