It was about half an hour after Virum and the others went outside that things came to a head.
Currently, all of the people living in the elven village were in a state of restraint, and they were all staring at the same person in equal measure.
''Well, it looks like they're finally going to listen to us.
It's a good thing that you're not the only one. You take us all into custody, and now you're talking? "Fools, take a break and say it!
They were the ones who originally launched the attack.
'Yes! If you want me to listen to you, first release the spirits you brainwashed and Meldina-chan!
Before I knew it, it seems that among them, Vilm is the villain who brainwashed Meldina and the others.
"You're still a man, using the spirits and Meldina as shields! Shame on you!
They were captured in the first place, not to mention using Meldina and the others as shields.
Those curses are even mixed with incoherent ones, but it seems that such things don't matter to them at the earliest.
Of course, although they are restrained, their mouths are free, so there are several people who try to attack them with magic, but all of them are easily nullified by the sleepy-eyed Fumir or something.
''Meldina-chan! Come to your senses!
'Spirit! Please don't let someone like that beat you to it!
Some of them were trying to raise their voices to bring Meldina, Fumil and Miserio back to sanity, but there was no way the three of them, who were saner than the original, would react.
Although Coonaria and Oma managed to quiet them down, it didn't seem to be very effective.
''...Hey, are the elves too presumptuous?''
Vilm, who was half-eyed with dismay at the situation of the elves who didn't listen to him at all while he started making a scene, asked Meldina, who was also holding her head in dismay.
''Ugh! I've done the same thing, so I can't deny it.
Meldina's face was drawn up, and Meldina was disappointed and paragraphing as she remembered the past that she wanted to forget (for the second time today) that she had eaten into Wyrm.
(I can't just buzz Mel's parents and the people back home... it can't be helped.)
In limbo, Vilm let out a big sigh and muttered to himself.
''My sisters, would you please?''
「「「「 I'm so sorry... 」」」」
The elves scrape their heads against the ground in a single, threadbare movement, like a well-trained army.
At the end of their magnificent kneeling, there are Virum and the others, as well as Hinori and Radia.
Earlier, they felt the spirit beasts (Hinori and Radia) were summoned in front of their eyes, as well as Virum's magic power, which was so enormous that he could summon them, and they were so astonished that they were immensely disappointed.
When there was no more noise, Hinori and Radia, who had been summoned, listened to what they had to say, and politely told them that Virum and the others were not dangerous, that Meldina and the others were not being manipulated, and that Virum was their beloved family, it led to the kneeling down they had just done.
Along the way, some of them suggest that the two of them may have been brainwashed as well........
"It's a good thing you're still alive, isn't it? If we'd really been brainwashed, we'd have...
Radia's words of "I'm not sure what to do," and the killing spirit, caused them to stiffen and become silent.
Finally, the elves, who had been consumed by the mad rage, had become quiet, and Kunaria and Oma, who had been scrambling to calm them down, let out a breath of relief.
'Heads up, please. As long as we can clear up the misunderstanding, we have no intention of harming you, Mel's countrymen.
Receiving Vilm's words, the elves raise their heads while listening to their fearful faces.
In contrast to their near frightened expressions, Virum's are almost not much different from the usual ones.
It is not surprising that the elves living in their limited living area are not well informed, but if they were not related to Meldina, they would have beaten them mercilessly.
Having gained some insight into the tendencies of the elves from the conversations he had with Meldina's parents, Wilm began to speak, while avoiding words that would strongly irritate them.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
''Oh, hey. I saw the High Elf-sama wearing the same necklace as that one?
Wow. Me too. I remember seeing you wearing one when I came to say hello a few minutes ago.
So, the story about the High Elves joining forces with those who are trying to capture the spirit...
The turmoil quickly spread throughout the entire area and turned into a loud murmur.
The discussion continued for a while, but as soon as their voices died down, an old elf stood up, "My name is Yersary, the village chief.
'My name is Yersary, the village chief. On behalf of my village, I apologize for causing so much trouble due to our misunderstanding.
'No, we weren't very considerate either. You've heard the whole story, so no further apology is necessary.
The fact that the high elves are the ones who can harm spirits is hard to believe, but with the evidence in addition to the words of the spirit animal, that's not an option. I'll have to think about how to deal with this in the future.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
It's a good thing that the high elves are connected to the forces that invaded the servantil spirit country, but we don't know what kind of connection it is.
''The sun will be setting soon. At the very least, you are welcome to stay at the village for today. You are welcome to stay.
'Thank you for your concern. I'll take your word for it.
Vilm responds without hesitation to the proposal from Yersary as they finish talking.
Once again, they are invited to Meldina's house, where they sleep for the first time in a long time and recover from their journey.
