"Crap."

"I'm sorry, O Noble Spirit… Wh--What did you say, O Noble Spirit?

He didn't understand?

No, he doesn't look like he did.

Phew.

Thankfully, I just muttered it.

"--I--I understand," he added on his own.

Did he not expect an answer, then?

Should I rather say...

'Of course she is.'

'Nah, she's dead.'

Which one should I use? Obviously, neither of them.

I just kept silent, hopefully, he wouldn't inquire further … I need to think up some well-made responses.

"So … can I even be referred to as the princess' guardian?

"Doubtless, no.

"This whole situation, like I said, I was expecting something.

"There definitely was something wrong with the princess' behavior.

"Something had changed.

"Now, while I expected something, I didn't expect--Nor would even dare expect something of this magnitude.

"It's unprecedented.

"I expected something but waved away all suspicions I had about her.

"I could be proud of her.

"She was so sickly and weak in a first time.

"But then she underwent such a transformation--She, she was robust and powerful.

"Heh.

"What an asshole.

"For me to expect her to grow this strong out of nowhere, just like this … I really have to be a huge asshole.

"Nobody ever genuinely took care of her--Expect for her father, the king…

"We didn't even try to make her strong.

"And I, as a huge asshole, and sorry for the vulgarity, but that's all the truth, can I even expect something like such a transformation to happen?

"Most certainly, I cannot.

"Yet, I was proud of it.

"And I was being complacent, thinking all of this was true.

"Plus, there was this ominous aura leaking off of you, virtually all the time, be it in great or little quantity…"

And so he spoke, and so he spoke, up till at some point, "Ho--Hoh?!" and got his head bowed back down after his hands with panic waved 'No, no!' at me,

"I do not mean ominous in a wicked and unpleasant way, O Noble Spirit!!

"It's just--It's just to us, it--it feels just like … death, if I may say so … seizing and breathing down our necks … when you … let us taste a portion of your killing intent--If it makes sense to you.

"Since you must be, and I cannot, once again, pretend to nor even hope to know the extent of it, the possessor of considerable strength, O Noble Spirit."

Rubbing my nose with a finger, "Hehehe~" if he thought he'd just buy me like this … that elf, "I understand."

"I'm glad you do.

"Anyway, the princess, I cannot expect that of her.

"And so, O Noble Spirit, I beg you humbly and bow my head to you…

"Since you agreed and listened to me for that long, I am reaching the end of this discussion I have pleaded, and that you have accepted…

"Please … I ask of you humbly … O Noble Forest Spirit, return the princess to us…!

"Please…!

"I shall not ask for anything else.

"I shall not."

And he stopped the course of his moving lips.

"Sigh."

Me?

I just sighed.

I had to sigh.

"Ahem."

This was a long discussion.

And it was reaching an end.

After we'd met back again with each other … I was troubled.

Bluntly, it was just like this, should I be going with or without him?

That forest they call Foret, I don't like it. I mean, there are plenty of things I don't really like in this forest.

Like, the temperature at night, I don't know about the season, but it's always so cold.

The surface area, it's way too broad and vast, when, in comparison to Sville's village, for example, you can't easily tell a part from another in these oh-so-much woods populated areas.

There's also the fact that I don't know what I'll be stumbling upon during my journey.

Journey that was soon to be over, I'll give you that, but still a journey nonetheless.

At night, there always were these unsettling little cries of random creatures or whatever, really.

Well, many things, right?

Or maybe am I just making excuses not to go on my own since it may be more dangerous alone.

Well, well, well.

All of which made me stay with the elf.

It was fine, wasn't it?

With him, I didn't have any problems outside.

I could just go on with the quest as it was already planned.

He knew I wasn't the princess.

So that was dangerous.

I couldn't expect him to just patiently help me knowing this, right?

Now, though, did he entirely know about me?

Not at all.

I might as well be the mighty noble forest spirit, right now, after all.

And, once again, seeing how he acts and behaves with me … I couldn't hope for better, actually.

He must've felt super weird about it himself, so I knew he wouldn't ask too many questions.

Like, all these times I was just acting as the princess, I mean, well, it was kinda embarrassing, now that we both know it was just comedy.

And so he wouldn't ask too much. We'd just get the Character's Creation Quest done.

I was kind of looking forward to that quest too, at that.

But anyway, this was another matter, following on to the princess.

The topic of our conversation, which was mostly himself talking alone to be perfectly honest, well, it was the princess.

He wanted me to give him the princess back.

"Ahem," my hand was brought before my mouth, I cleared my throat, "Sp--Speaking of which…"

And come to think of it now, was it just as good as I made it look like, being the noble forest spirit…?

"I mean, I kinda find myself in a troubled position right now…"

I was stressed out.

What should I even tell him?

"O Noble Spirit, should I remind you I cannot hear you from this distance when you only mumble and mutter words?"

"I'm--I know, I know," jolting, (did I say that out loud?) I regained my composure and continued, "I'm just thinking about your proposal."

"Absolutely," abruptly standing up, as if no pain whatsoever was to be felt in his knees, "I shall wait and thank you for your consideration, O Noble Spirit."

So … what should I tell the man?

Still sitting in my frog position, I was now swinging my upper body from left to right, "Hmm…"

At this point, I mean, I can't just tell him my truth.

And standing back up, Calming went up and met with his sword, "No use in you anymore, huh."

Not too far away from his weapon, now, "And look in what pitiful state you are too, Sakage," we could find Sakage and Smart still lying about together.

My feet brought me up, too.

"You really did a great job, Calming. Angry's sacrifice wasn't unnecessary at all, we really couldn't help it--"

"Thank you for your consideration, O Noble Spirit," he calmly said, still looking down at Angry.

"I don't pity this man."

Was he talking about Angry?

Doubtless he was.

A blank.

What followed his words would just be a dull blank … and then, "And you don't have to pity him, too."

What was he trying to say, exactly?

Angry sounded like a dick.

That's how I felt about Angry, too.

After Calming had to tell him off since he was behaving the way he was too much, he eventually got straight back again.

But before that, I didn't like him either.

"I couldn't actually be happier to have had to sacrifice that very individual… At least, he served a good purpose."

Well, Calming, huh.

After what he had to do, I thought I'd help him ease up his mind a little, but well, "I can see you don't need me comforting you, then."

And I'd leave it at that.

"About your princess--"

"--He deserved to die.

"He did horrible things… sigh.

"Well, we all deserve to die, actually. Almost all of us, living intelligent and sentient creatures.

"And yet we live."
