Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

There are their companions for this mission.Another team.

Unexpectedly, they are not witches, but a team composed of elves.

"Well, if you think about it, there are more people who are elves in this place. But this is the first time I have actually seen them."

After seeing it from a distance, they began to observe these elves as they approached.

Some of the elves were dressed as warriors, and some were wearing mage robes.It seems to be a fairly balanced team, and several elves also have a calm and charming temperament. At a glance, they feel that they are strong elves with rich experience.

"It seems like our partners are pretty good."

Not only was it good, it was much better than expected.

When Elena observed, an elf figure emerged from behind, revealing its frontal appearance.

She has emerald green eyes and long golden hair. She wears practical leather armor covering her body and carries a long bow on her back. She looks quite heroic.

Elena froze. She looked at Alice aside and found that she was also a little stiff.

This is the elf they all know, the elf princess Ethel, the ancestor of the Rania family and the elf queen, who intends to get Alisa engaged.

Volume 69: A farce: [-]. Negotiation results

The moment the two teams met, the scene suddenly became a little awkward because their respective captains stayed there.

"Your Highness Ethel, what should you say-"

One of the elves in the team reminded their princess in a low voice.As soon as she saw the witch team, she remained silent.

Alyssa looked similar here, both of them looked quite strange.

"Alyssa, what exactly do you think?"

Although she was also very shocked, after Ethel regained consciousness, she hit the nail on the head as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Do we have to talk about this now?"

"Of course, we are the main force of this mission. If we are still distracted when we encounter the target, wouldn't it be very ridiculous if something goes wrong?"

"That's right, I just want to have a good talk with you."

Several other team members saw that the two of them knew each other.But basically they all look inexplicable.

After all, the matter between the two of them is just that the big shot above has that intention, and it has not yet been officially made public.

I saw that the two captains wanted to go aside.Someone from the elf team came over, she coughed lightly and said:

"Everyone is about to act together. Let's get to know each other. Only by understanding each other can we cooperate better."

Ethel nodded approvingly towards her, and then motioned with her eyes for Alyssa to leave with her.

"That witch lady? Do you want to go there too? Let them communicate on their own."

"..."

Elena, who also subconsciously followed her, paused slightly, then continued walking indifferently.

"Elena?"

Originally, Alyssa also wanted to talk to Ethel alone, and she wanted to let Elena stay directly.But when I saw this apprentice looking a little dazed, my heart softened, and when I spoke, it became:

"Okay, you can come too."

"It seems that I already know the answer in advance." The elf princess Aesel looked at the master and apprentice, her expression changed a little, and she smiled slightly.

All three of them walked to a secluded corner.

Ethel stamped her foot lightly, and a layer of emerald green light spread, covering the surrounding area.

"That way, no one can hear us communicating."

Her eyes stayed on Alyssa for a long time, her face looked a little troubled, and she said teasingly:

"I never expected that Her Majesty the Queen and Lady Caroline would make such a decision. I was really shocked when I heard it."

"That's right! This is too sudden!" Alyssa suddenly couldn't hold it in any longer. With a complaining look on her face, her tone became more relaxed:

"We are not in that kind of relationship at all. Don't pull strings without permission! Let's protest together. If both of us object, we won't be forced to do it!"

"Huh? I don't have such a strong idea of ​​resistance."

All of a sudden, Alyssa and Elena were both stunned, and they both stared at Ethel.

Seeing their confusion, Ethel explained:

"It doesn't matter to me. In all aspects, Alyssa is very suitable, and it would also be very beneficial to have the support of the Rania family."

If it were another witch, Athel, as an elf royal, would never be able to combine with her.But the Rania family has had a good relationship with the elves for hundreds of years, and there are even frequent intermarriages with each other.

Alyssa is part elf.

"So, as a royal, I am naturally superior to most elves. If I gain the support of the Rania family, I will be the confirmed heir."

"You actually think that. I thought you were an elf with no ambitions!"

"This is also the responsibility of the royal family. If I don't have any ideas, the Queen will be disappointed."

After listening, Alyssa looked in disbelief.She couldn't even express her original plan.

"Miss Ethel, even if you are engaged to Alyssa, you may not be able to get the support of their family. There are some senior officials in Rania's family who don't like the master."

Seeing the anxious-looking black-haired girl, Ethel couldn't help but want to laugh.But she held it in and said seriously:

"Alyssa will definitely enter the upper echelons of the family soon. Moreover, in the final analysis, as long as Her Royal Highness the Queen and Lady Caroline agree, I will not object."

"But, but..."

Elena, who had always been very calm, was a little panicked now. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't think of any reason for a while.

Indeed, if for no other reason, following the advice of the Elf Queen and Rania Family Ancestor is the most cost-effective choice.

"But, I don't like you!"

After a while, Alyssa spoke, leaving the other two stunned.Elena even calmed down, covered her face and sighed.

"...That's too much! You actually said that to my face! I am very popular among the elves!"

Ethel looked very angry and glared at Alyssa, who hurriedly explained:

"No, that's not what I meant. It's not like that..."

"Hmph, these words are really sad. Be careful I don't help you."

"Huh?!"

The two girls were surprised together, obviously hearing the implication of Ethel's words.

"Why are you so surprised?" Ethel was a little dissatisfied. She glanced at the two of them and her eyes stopped on Alyssa:

"I don't have that kind of feeling for you, it just doesn't matter. Since you don't want to, forget it. But it's really uncomfortable to be rejected directly. Can't you be more tactful?"

"Well, I'm sorry..."

"It doesn't matter! But if you make any excuses, I will give you a hard time. Since we are friends, just make it clear."

Ethel looked helpless, and looked faintly at the black-haired girl next to Alyssa:

"Besides, I was really shocked just now. That hidden murderous aura actually made me feel threatened. Alyssa, you have taught a good apprentice."

"what?"

Seeing Alyssa looking at her doubtfully, Elena shook her head desperately and her face turned red:

"There is no murderous intention. That's wrong. I must feel wrong! How could I be hostile to Miss Ethel?"

"Well, Elena is a good child. You must have misunderstood!"

Ethel looked at Alyssa who was explaining seriously and Elena beside her who was relieved, shook her head and said:

"Just be happy."

Now that their ideas were clear, the atmosphere among the three of them became much more relaxed.

"Then let's go see the two adults each. If we object together, we should be able to succeed."

"Okay, but Her Majesty the Queen is very busy recently, so I have to find an opportunity to discuss it with her."

"Ethel, although I can't help it this time, when I become a senior member of the family, I will definitely support you!"

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Alyssa felt comfortable and began to promise empty promises.

"No need, I am the first in line to succeed. Moreover, Her Majesty the Queen is still very young."

Ethel answered very confidently, her eyes shining:

"I want to rely on myself to become the next generation of strong men and the unquestionable king."

Volume 70: A farce: [-]. The siege begins

"Alyssa, since you plan to refuse, what are your plans next?"

Although Ethel was asking Alyssa, her eyes were always looking at Elena on the side.

"Huh? Of course I want to become a great witch as soon as possible and have the right to speak."

"No, that's not what I meant. Don't you plan to be with someone else? After all, you are so firmly opposed to it."

Alyssa looked at her strangely and asked doubtfully:

"I don't have anyone else I admire. I just don't want to get married so early. Isn't that okay?"

"That's right! Master Alyssa is so young and doesn't need to think about it so early!"

Elena on the side also echoed.Seeing this, Alyssa gave her an approving look.

Seeing that these two people had a tacit understanding in all aspects, but had huge problems, Ethel gave up.She whispered:

"There is indeed no need to worry. Elves have a lifespan of hundreds of years, and there are many people who have had an ambiguous relationship for decades. You two are about the same."

The elf princess gave up the hint and decided to let the two of them slowly experience it on their own.

"As expected, he is an old man over 100 years old. He looks like he has a lot of experience. It's hard for me to understand."

The sound of Alyssa talking to her apprentice in a low voice made Ethel's smile solidify on her face:

"They say an elf over 100 years old is very young! You little brat!"

……

The emotional knot was successfully resolved, and both parties relaxed a lot.

On the way to the destination, an elf girl said:

"Our mission requirement is to eliminate a group of strange demons approaching the inner domain. After previous investigation, we found that there are about eight elite-level strange demons and more than 300 ordinary strange demons."

"That team didn't deal with it. After careful observation, they passed the information back."

That number made everyone present feel a sinking feeling.I felt a lot of pressure.

"It doesn't matter. With Alice, Elena and I here, it should be enough to deal with it!"

Ethel looked confident. She clenched her fists, and her confidence infected others:

"I can defeat a dozen enemies of the same level alone, which is more than enough!"

Although it sounds like a big lie, several witches do seem a little suspicious.But the elves all nodded in agreement.

The two teams headed deep into the forest and encountered many strange demons along the way, but they were basically defeated without any slowdown.

As we go deeper, the dark mist in the forest becomes thicker and thicker, turning from the wisps of black air on the outermost periphery into clouds.

"Be careful not to touch!"

Faced with this kind of thing, both teams were careful to avoid it. They had been in the Valley of the Fall for a while and knew how terrifying this kind of thing was.

Once it is contaminated too much, it will gradually become irritable and lose its mind, turning into a member of the strange devil.This is why they team up to supervise each other and return regularly for repairs.

But even so, there are still a steady stream of unlucky witches and elves turning into strange monsters every year.

Elena was probably the only one who didn't feel anything at all.She had never been able to understand what was so scary about this thing.Only after going in for too long and the three senior witches had changed a little, she was able to understand a little bit.

"We'll try to finish it in one day. Also, don't step into the inner realm. There will be beast king-level monsters there."

"The deeper you go, the more dark fog there is and the thicker it looks. If you feel the environment is not right, retreat immediately."
