Guild Boss's Ambition

"Ming~~Ming~~Ming~~"

As the three of us looked on in surprise, a cute creature like Thumbs Up Girl was holding a large spoon and launching an ecstatic attack on cakes one after another. The creature had a pair of transparent wings on its back. Despite its small size, it had a three-head body like a clay doll. In addition, its face was filled with happiness as if it was intoxicated by the desserts. It was simply a creature that was designed to be cute.

"Please...Excuse me, are you Ms. Farmer?"

Looking at this magical scene, President Ehard asked awkwardly.

"Ok?"

Thumb Girl chewed a piece of cake, came towards us, and then slowly smiled brightly.

"Ahem! Welcome! Welcome! Please take a seat!"

She swallowed the food in her mouth desperately, flapped her wings, greeted us, and said with a soft and sticky voice: "Although I feel uncomfortable being interrupted during dessert time, your novel combination has greatly satisfied my curiosity. Fate is really interesting. Humans, liches, and high elves can appear as companions in the wrath of nature."

Has it failed?

Is the pendant I gave Heloise no longer effective?

Hearing the other party's shocking words, Ehard and Heloise both showed vigilance.

"It seems that I will have to make some modifications to Uru's pendant after returning to the stone house."

"This little cute creature is very dangerous."

I remained calm despite my inner turmoil, and asked, "You must be Ms. Fama. How did you see through Heloise's disguise magic? Now Heloise has lost her memory as a high elf. She is not our enemy. Our guild leader wants to protect her safety to a certain extent."

Ms. Fama took another deep look at Heloise, flew into the air, picked up the spoon again, and said with an innocent smile: "Miss Bai Ye, don't you also have a pair of real eyes? As long as you are more closely connected with the origin, you can actually see deeper into things. Of course, there is a price to pay for contacting the origin, or are you a person of destiny chosen by the avenue?"

"Sure enough, this tree of life is not the place for me now."

"This little kid is a tough one."

Facing the clear eyes of the dwarfs, I avoided their gaze and gave the speaking space back to Ehad.

To restrain the naturally evil conspirators, upright people would be the best choice.

"Excuse me, Ms. Farmer, time is of the essence. Please allow me to get to the point right away, okay?"

……

……

51. Bean Girl (Ehard)

(Mener-Ehard)

"Excuse me, Ms. Farmer, time is of the essence. Please allow me to get to the point right away, okay?"

Although she is a petite and lovely dwarf, Ms. Fama in front of me is undoubtedly a strong person. After just a moment of face-to-face, she asked Bai Ye, who was good at using the art of language, to give the right to speak back to me. This is probably because Bai Ye is afraid of making more mistakes if he speaks too much, so he uses silence to avoid making mistakes and also to observe the other person.

However, according to public opinion, Ms. Farmer should be a good person.

But at present, the intuitive impression she gives us, apart from being innocent and cute, is that she is scheming and unfathomable.

Although she was unfathomable, the first person of the Tree of Life was immersed in her own dessert world like a child at this moment. Even though there were three outsiders like us around, she was still flying around the delicious cream and chocolate like a bee or a butterfly, making people feel that the food on the table was more important than the guests who came to visit.

She licked a mouthful of strawberry cream and asked, "What's the topic? What's the topic?"

"This matter began a month ago—"

So, I immediately told Ms. Farmer everything I knew.

Although she was trying hard to eat her dessert, Ms. Fama listened to my story clearly, and she also accurately grasped the core of the problem: "The whole thing is that one of your adventurers defected to the side of the high elves, and because one of the poster girls of your guild has the bloodline of a hero, you want to kill her?"

"Yes, that's it." I answered affirmatively.

For some reason, after hearing my answer, the petite Ms. Farma stopped eating. She looked at me with a strange and deep look, her two dreamy blue eyes seemed to be looking for something.

Suddenly, she burped.

"Sorry, I'm too full~~"

She adorably stuck out her tongue, put down the silver spoon, flew up into the air, sat on a small swing hanging from the ceiling, and said to us sweetly, "Based on President Ehard's description, I have a rough idea of ​​why you came to the Tree of Life today. However, before I agree to help you, I want to confirm one thing with my own eyes."

As expected, there is no free lunch in the world. As the president of Tree of Life, Ms. Farmer has some social skills.

I asked calmly, "May I ask what Ms. Farmer wants to confirm with her own eyes?"

Ms. Farma, who looked like the Thumbs Up Girl, smiled sweetly and began to dance in the air with her hands. As she danced, the desserts on the table that she had taken a bite of also floated into the air. Then she clapped her hands lightly twice, and the food in the sky turned into beautiful petals in the blink of an eye. The petals were sucked by the winter wind from the window and all sent to the high blue sky.

After she finished cleaning up, she smiled and said, "I want to confirm the identity of the descendant of the brave man with my own eyes."

Just as I opened my mouth slightly to answer, Bai Ye suddenly interrupted and asked, "Ms. Fama, Uru's bloodline is the result of my experiment. Because the material is limited and the results of the experiment are also in my half body, I am afraid that you will not be able to see the results of the experiment you want to see with your own eyes."

"It doesn't matter, we still have the Eye of Truth." Fama said happily while swinging on the swing.

"Even the Eye of Truth may not be able to see the truth of all things, right?" Bai Ye questioned.

"Man, man, man, we'll try our best! Wow, help!"

Amidst the casual conversation, Fama was swung into the air by the swing without noticing. I don’t know if it was intentional, but she just happened to fly in my direction. With a crisp exclamation, I quickly stretched out my hands and gently scooped her up in my palms.

After rescuing her, I asked speechlessly, "Don't you have wings so you can fly?"

Upon hearing this, Fama covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Huh? Yes, I can fly! But instead of flapping my wings myself, wouldn't it be more convenient and direct for you, President Ehard, to catch me? By the way, Miss President, you look so much like your great-great-great-great-grandfather! When I saw you just now, I almost thought he had crawled out of the tomb of ancient Farolin."

Look similar?

It sounds like my ancestors have some connection with Ms. Farmer?

I couldn't help but ask, "My great-great-great-great-grandfather? Which grandfather is Ms. Farmer talking about?"

Ms. Farmer showed a confused expression and said hesitantly: "Um... that... was he called David? Or Alexander? Well, because that memory is too long ago, I can't remember his name. Anyway, he is the founder of your stone house. He is like you, his life and soul shine with the same light."

"Light? What light?" I asked.

"That's a possibility."

Ms. Fama yawned and sat down on my palm with a sleepy look on her face. "However, my spontaneous comments have no practical meaning to you. By the way, you want the Tree of Life to send someone to help you protect the little girl targeted by the traitor, right? Then bring her here for examination. I'm in a hurry to take a nap! Yawn~~"

As she spoke, Ms. Farmer actually fell asleep right in the palm of my hand.

It's really hard to associate a cute creature like this with being the first person on this tree of life.

She's the type that I want to take home and raise.

Maybe what Blanny and the others said about me was right. I really do seem to have a strong collecting habit for cute girls.

It’s a pity that the little human girl in front of me is a rare species that is worth a fortune and is a treasure that I cannot touch.

"Heloise, could you please go back to the Stone House and invite Xiaolan over?"

"Yes, Master Ehad."

Like my direct knight, Heloise agreed to my request immediately. Her loyalty was incredible. Even if I ordered her to commit seppuku, she would most likely do it without changing her expression, which made me feel guilty for taking advantage of other people's feelings.

And in fact, I was indeed taking advantage of Heloise's misguided loyalty.

However, if Heloise had not bought us time, Bai Ye's half body would probably have been successfully captured.

Judging from the results, we do need Heloise's strength. As for the future──

"After this is over, I'll go ask Heloise for help..."

"We can't let her work for us without any money..."

"Of course, our Stone House also saved her life. Should I use it as a bargaining chip?"

While thinking about Heloise, I poked the sleepy Ms. Farmer's cheek with my finger: "Ms. Farmer, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep. As a junior, I want to ask you something."

Ms. Fama, who was poked on the cheek by me, shuddered and woke up with a wow. She rubbed her watery eyes and asked sleepily, "Excuse me? Are you asking about the half-elf lady?"

I asked with a tone of admiration, "As expected of you, Ms. Farmer! It is about Heloise's life experience. If Ms. Farmer were me today, how would you deal with an enemy who has lost his memory?"

"This kind of thing? Isn't it better to just go with your feelings?"

Ms. Farmer woke up and answered my questions while sniffing the air. Then, as if she had discovered something, she flapped her transparent wings on her back and flew into the air.

"By feeling? How can I judge by feeling? If I don't kill her and let her return to the High Elves' camp, she may become our enemy again. But if I kill her, it would be equivalent to killing an innocent civilian who has no intention of fighting. In this case, I really can't make a judgment based on feeling alone -"

As I was asking questions, Ms. Farmer flew around the room, fluttered to Bai Ye, and then crawled into her shirt pocket amid Bai Ye's stiff face. After a while, she happily climbed out holding a piece of chocolate, and while unwrapping the chocolate, she casually said, "But didn't you bring her back in the end?"

I understand what Ms. Farmer means.

But my doubts are not limited to this: "But what about the days ahead? How should I deal with her in the future? She still thinks of herself as a goblin now, but you may suddenly remember your identity as a high elf. By then, she may very likely start another massacre in the city without saying a word..."

Unfortunately, to Ms. Farmer, Heloise's problem seemed not as important as a piece of chocolate.

She ignored my question and just stared at the eight-square-square chocolate bar in worry, thinking.

Seeing this, Bai Ye helped her break the chocolate into eight equal pieces.

Only then did Ms. Farmer smile happily and turn her attention back to me.

She happily bit a chocolate bar as big as her cheek and said with a vague smile, "If I were the one who picked up the high elf, I would hand her over to the military. According to the military's past practices, they would most likely torture her first and then hang her on the rack. This is the simplest, most direct and safest way to deal with it."

Yes, according to normal procedures, I should indeed hand Heloise over to the military.

But──

At this time, Heloise trusted me so much──

Is it really the right thing for me to do to betray someone's kindness and trust, and personally send him to the execution rack just because he is potentially dangerous? Is there no way to do it without anyone having to sacrifice? There must be a way to have the best of both worlds, right? It's just that I haven't thought of it.

but……

What if Heloise really went crazy on the road, how could I make up for the consequences?

In confusion, Bai Ye spoke.

"Ehard, do you believe in fate?"

"Eh?"

I turned my head to look at her, not understanding why she was saying all this to me at this time.

She stared at the thumbs-up girl who was enjoying the candy, and said thoughtfully: "If you believe that good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil, then saving Heloise is a good decision. It is because of you that Uru was able to be safe before I rushed back to the stone house for support..."

It surprised me that……

I never thought that there would be a day when Bai Ye would comfort me...

I laughed at myself and retorted to her:

"You are good at defending yourself."

"Ah……"

Hypocritical Miss Maria just laughed off my criticism.

……

52. Bean Fairy (White Night)

(white night)

Not good.

Very bad.

The situation was just as bad as the elf priest Gabriella whom I met at Snow Wolf Pass last time.

Fubinn-Fama, the little human in front of us is not cute and innocent at all.

If the danger index is out of 10, I would give myself and Covina 7 points.

However, Fubin and Gabriella are more dangerous and crazy than me.

The latter, as the high priestess of the high elves, is the main executor of the will of Nature's Wrath. In terms of intelligence and martial power, Gabriella is the most outstanding existence in the world today. Basically, if you are targeted by a being of her level, you will have to confront an entire force of high elves, and it can be said that you have a zero chance of survival.

Fortunately, Gabriella didn't really target me.

Compared to a little mouse like me, she should pay more attention to the battle situation at Snow Wolf Pass.

However, Fubin is just as dangerous as Gabriella.

Whenever we flip through her calendar, we can intuitively understand from the data level what kind of terrifying war machine this thumb girl is. According to the records, this magic bean fairy is particularly good at magic, and can use a variety of mythical magic abilities including aging magic, instant death magic, angel gate, etc., but it is regrettable that──

Unless otherwise specified, she will not personally participate in the war against Nature's Wrath.

As for the reason for not joining the war?
