Theresa's figure gradually became semi-transparent and illusory.

"Then I'll be leaving first - I hope we can still have such a friendly conversation next time we meet."

The voice fell back.

There was no one there anymore.

Sharon, Elle and Lily were the only ones left at the scene.

"What's wrong, Sister Sharon?" Elle asked.

Obviously, it was over, but Sharon didn't seem to want to go back.

Because Sharon had one more thing she wanted to ask.

Maybe that was the reason why I approached Elle in the first place.

"Aier. That orc is with you, right?"

……

The Marquis was a buyer of cocoa.

But Sharon was the one who really needed some little orc.

But Ai'er didn't want to ask the other party's reason.

"That's right. Even if Sister Sharon wants it, I won't give it to you."

Ai'er put her hands on her hips proudly.

After the elder left, Ai'er, who had survived the disaster, had completely forgotten the panicked and embarrassing Ai'er who wanted to run away as soon as possible!

Evolved into a fearless genius and conceited Ai'er!

This kind of Elle would not be afraid of the threat from a mere sister Sharon!

54. Entrust

Sharon gnashed her teeth in hatred:

"Hey, Elle..."

"What's wrong, Sister Sharon~?"

"Don't be too... too proud!"

"Anyway, whether I give it to you or not, what right does Sister Sharon have to ask for it~..."

Elle bounced up and down.

"I will naturally abide by the wishes of the human himself."

"But she's quite happy next to me."

“Being happy and being willing are two different things.”

It was as if I had returned to my tribe.

The two of them started arguing immediately.

There was no room for Lily to interrupt at that moment, so she just walked aside silently and watched the two people arguing.

"Then there's nothing we can do... Sister Sharon?"

"Then... follow the old rules of the clan..."

"If Sister Sharon wins, let her meet you."

"If you win, I will go back honestly."

"one two Three……"

""Let's use [Elf Chess] to decide the outcome!""

In front of the two people, a golden magic spell was lit up, illuminating the faces of both people.

Brighter and brighter—

Lily yawned.

"Boom!" There was a vibration.

"boom!"

"——What are you arguing about in the middle of the night?"

The window upstairs was pushed open fiercely, and a small head popped out from the window, staring at the people below.

Coco's ears stood up angrily, and her staring eyes clearly showed that she had not yet woken up from her sleep.

Elle and Sharon also set their sights on Coco upstairs.

The three of them looked at each other in silence for a long time.

"Bang." Coco silently retracted her little head and slammed the window shut.

""...""

……

Of course you can't just close the window and run away.

Anyway, Coco, who was still sleeping, was woken up like this.

Because of the barrier created by Elle, the events here should be quite hidden. But Lily and Coco were both within the barrier's protection, as were Sharon and Theresa who had sneaked in. So the noise made by the two playing chess easily woke up Coco - but Coco was obviously still confused.

Coco, who was standing by the window, rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the other elf beside Ai'er with a fuzzy look. She was much taller than Ai'er, at least the size of a normal girl. Judging from the length of her ears, she must be quite mature.

That is also a superior race.

However, the other party seemed to be coming towards him.

"Hello, little orc." Simple but polite.

Coco leaned forward in response, somewhat flattered.

"Do you plan on following me?"

Without beating around the bush, Sharon went straight to the point of extending her invitation.

Following this elf? Coco's eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course, I won't treat you as a slave. If you stay with me, I can guarantee your safety. Afterwards, I will give you the freedom to survive normally, and even give you some assistance to stay alive."

Being favored by a superior race is something most humans dream of. Even for the beastmen who have always been watched, such treatment is even more rare and precious.

"...What else?" Coco just asked.

Sharon stared into Coco's gray eyes:

"Follow me. I can make you strong enough."

Coco's eyes wavered.

Maybe she wanted to refuse.

Being able to become stronger——under these conditions, there was no room for refusal.

The only reason Coco stayed with Elle and Lily was to "become stronger." Otherwise, she would have left alone the night before after regaining her freedom.

Now that the other party has put forward this condition, Coco has no choice but to agree.

Sharon was right.

Seeing Coco's wavering look, Sharon smiled faintly as if she was sure of her victory.

Several people stared at Coco, waiting for her to make the final decision.

Coco was still struggling. Finally, she made up her mind:

"…I'm sorry. I still want to…stay with Master Ai'er."

"sorry."

Then Coco slammed the window again.

As if running away.

Sharon was left standing there in surprise.

"…That's it, Sister Sharon. The negotiation failed."

However, Sharon did not respond to Elle's taunts again.

"Indeed, I didn't expect that."

Sharon shook her head. "Anyway, there's still time... In that case, I'll leave first. And, that..."

Sharon looked at Lily for a while. When Lily turned her head, she bent down slightly.

"Miss of the vampire clan. Ai'er, I'm leaving it to you."

Then the other person's figure disappeared into the depths of the woods.

"Huh, it's finally over." Ai'er stretched lazily: "Go back to sleep. Let's go, Lily~ Tomorrow... Well, there's no need to rush anyway, but it's better to go to the Empire... Let's set off as usual tomorrow."

"El."

"what happened?"

"You seem surprised."

"..."

There was silence for a while.

Ai'er scratched his face and said, "Lily, you are really perceptive."

"..."

"...Yes, I also thought Coco would leave us. Especially when Sister Sharon promised that Coco could become stronger - Coco would have wanted to agree. I just don't know why Coco stayed... Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow. Go to sleep~"

Even though Coco has the same dependence on Ai'er, from what Ai'er said, Ai'er doesn't have the confidence that Coco will stay.
