Chapter Title:?Serena the Elf

TL: Sorry I couldn’t post yesterday a chapter, since I had some irl stuff to take care of, but here you go, 2 chapters out for today.

?Bloody Ogre horn×1

?Bloody Ogre meat×1

After I finished storing the drop items, I called out to the elf woman who was still in daze.

「So, if you wouldn’t mind, I’d like you to explain the situation to me. How did you end up lying there?」

「Well, my father was sick and I came to get some herbs to help him. [/note] I can see where this is going..[/note] Then all of a sudden the Ogre appeared, and the next thing I knew, I was knocke out.」

「I see, I was just passing by when the Bloody Ogre knocked you out.」

Then they said that they were lucky to have met each other.

「We need to heal that arm as soon as possible. Wait here, I’ll go gather the herbs now!」?1

I twisted his face as I tried to get up. Apparently I had hurt my leg.

「I’m fine. I’m just going to touch you a little bit, okay?」

I touched her body and....

「【Perfect Heal】」

「N....Ah~」?2

I hear a sexy voice in my ear. I looked up and saw that the elf’s eyes were moistened.

「How are you doing, does it still hurt?」

In response to my question, she touched herself and said....

「No! It doesn’t hurt at all!」

The effect of Perfect Heal is tremendous. I casted Perfect Heal on my own arm and healed it.

「Hey, what exactly is that?」

The elf fearfully asked.

「Ah, it’s called Perfect Heal. It restores your strength and magic power, it also heals all injuries.」

「I, I’ve never heard of such magic! Even the highest-ranking wizards can’t heal you in such a short time.」

The elf revealed her surprise. I’ve been trying to clear up all the questions since I finally met someone.

「By the way, I have one question.」

Finally, I can get a clear idea where I am. When I try to ask her about it....

「Oh, but let me say something first. Thank you for helping me. If you hadn’t come, I would have been taken and raped by the Bloody Ogre. You risked your life to challenge the Bloody Ogre and even got hurt to protect me.」

So the elf slightly blused and said....

「Thank you so much for that....」

The last part was little difficult to hear because she looked away from me.

「Don’t worry about it. I couldn’t just let that happen.」

If I could ignore a situation like that, I wouldn’t have sacrificed myself in Alicia’s place.

「More importantly, where are we?」

I have to go back to my country somehow, so I want to know my current location.

「This is the deepest part of the Lost Forest. 一People say that if you step foot in this forst, you’ll never get out alive.」

「I’ve never heard of it. Then it can’t be near the city I live in.」

It seems that I’ve come to a very remote place due to the transportation magic circle that sent me to the evil god. However, it’s a strange thing to say that it’s a lost forest.

This was an open area, but as we entered the forest, the trees were so tall and leafy that they blocked the sunlight. There were no landmarks to help us find our way.

Given that, how are we going to get out of here?

「Hey. Can I have a word with....you....um....」

「Ah. I’m Elt.」

She was stammering, trying to say my name. I haven’t introduced myself yet, so I told her my name.

She muttered 「....Elt」

「My name is Serena.」

Serena puts her hand on her chest and tells me her name. While I’m staring at her...

「Since you’re here, why don’t you come to my village? I want to thank you for helping me.」

If I say no here, I’ll just be wandering in the lost forest.

「All right. Lead the way.」

I nodded at Serena’s suggestion.

「That’s Serena. What’s wrong with you? You’re so dirty!」

We ran for a few minutes. It seemed that we have arrived at the elven village.

An elf man just jumped down from a tall tree and stood in front of Serena.

「Actually, the Bloody Ogre attacked me....」

「What the hell? He’s out again? We’ve got to get him out of here! We can’t let him get too close to the village!」

The other elves appeared and looked serious. I spoke to Serena as she approached me.

「That guy must have been a serious pain in the ass.」

「That’s right. Whenever he appeared near the village, we all tried to lead him away.」

While we were having this conversation....

「Serena! What are you doing being so carefree about it! You tell me where you saw it!」

I said to the flustered elf man.

「Do you have a minute?」

「What are you.... a human being?」

He gives me a suspicious look.

「Elt saved me from the bloody ogre!」

As a follow-up, Serena said as she stepped in front of me. With those words, the sterness disappears from the gazes of the elves in the room.

「Well, Serena’s benefactor is the villager’s benefactor. I’m too busy to offer you any hospitality at the moment, but I’ll be happy to return the favor after the Bloody Ogre is taken care of.」

The man was about to make a move when I pulled out something and showed it to him.

「The Bloody Ogre that you’re busy with, I defeated him. Here’s the horn to prove it.」

「「「「「What?」」」」」

The elves opened their mouth in disbelief. Serena watches them with a wry smile.

A strange silence took over the room.
