Yuusha Dakedo, Maou Kara Sekai Wo Hanbun Moratte Uragiru Koto ni Shita

The origin of life is supposedly in Sephiroto.

It was said that life was born in this tree world and eventually gained wisdom by eating certain fruits.

"What is this..."

In the northern part of the human world 'Marcto' - all the way in the back, the fruit is fruitful.

It is a forbidden fruit that exists only in Marcto, even in Sephiroto.

"Could it be 'apples'?

Mina turned her eyes round and looked up at the fruit tree with the red fruit.

"I've never seen it before...... eh"

Rounding her eyes further, she shrugs like a sneer.

Apparently even in the elf world they heard it as a legendary fruit.

"Do you want some?

"Yikes?

"You don't have a problem. I don't even pick a lot."

It's out of Mina's reach, so I took it for a change.

Give her one, red ripe and looking delicious apple.

"Thanks!"

Have you forgotten all your troubles at this time?

Mina grabbed the apple with an innocent smile that she deserved.

"…… Somehow, I feel smarter."

"Well, it sounds like it's also called the fruit of wisdom. Wouldn't that be a little better?

I don't know the details, but it seems that life has gained wisdom by eating this fruit, so I'm sure it's not wrong.

Mina was obsessed and chewing.

Immediately after eating one, Mina breathes satisfactorily.

"It was delicious!

Sounds like I was thinking about it earlier, but it looks a little better.

She asks me this as she looks up at the apple tree wonderfully.

"Hey, how come apples are in the human world?

"Well, it's because the origins of the race are human."

"Huh!? Guys, originally human!?

Oops. Did Mina not know...... or is it kept a secret among the elves?

Well, since this is just an inheritance, too. Maybe it's not the same as the truth, but teaching isn't a bad thing.

"That's right. The birthplace of life is here in Marcto. The first born was a group of men and women. From there, children were born, they grew in numbers, and eventually they went down to the ground - and over a long period of time, some humans changed into physical fitness for the environment where they lived."

"On the ground... back in the day, we all lived on the ground, didn't we?

"Oh. The humans who lived in the forest became long ears and taller so that they could hear their companions even if they could not see them. That's the elf. The humans who lived in the cave grew smaller so that they could move even in narrow places. This is Dwarf."

This is how each race was born.

But he was originally the same person.

"Then a natural enemy called the demon appeared on earth and we returned to the world on the trees again. But because we shared a species, the fold became worse, so we divided the world - that's the general saying."

"It is... originally, it was the same thing"

Mina blinking her eyes. You're interested, ho ho ho ho ho.

With such a stroke on her head, I told her why I had come here.

"So, well... not really, don't be alarmed that it's another race. Me and the Demon King were originally like Mina. I'm not going to do you any harm."

Yes. I wanted to tell you this story, because it was one reason I came here.

"You've been freaking out, haven't you? You can relax a little longer."

Crouch in, align your eyes.

Mina, do you feel backwards…… she was slightly distracted.

"…… I'm sorry. Mina, I'm still scared."

I guess this is what she really means.

She was kidnapped by a human being, she seemed terrible, she became a slave to the Demon King - and she was frightened the whole time.

"…… I'm sorry."

Then I lower my head.

I always wanted to apologize to her. Another reason I brought you here is this.

"Me and my kind of people are doing terrible things... sorry."

As the same person, I am sorry for her.

By analogy, even if it was the ones who threw it away that extended to the crime, it wouldn't change being of the same race as me.

When I was responsible too, I was sick the whole time.

There was also an aspect to apologizing for coming here to feed the apples.

"Really, I feel sorry for Mina. So I don't want to do anything you don't like anymore."

"…… Disgusting?

"Oh. If you want to go back to the original world - I'll ask the Demon King to return you to the elf world"

Assuming Mina wanted to go home, I wanted to do that for you.

It is more painful than anything to see a young girl suffer now that she is a lollicon.

No, regardless of Loricon, I was sorry to see the toddler cry.

"What do you say? Mina's feelings, let me hear it."

Be gentle, don't scare me, and be careful not to intimidate me.

Wait for her words.

…………

Mina pushed silently and lowered her eyes to think of something.

I'm sure you're thinking slowly but firmly. To mouth your own opinions with your own head, without being flushed by others.

After waiting for a while, Mina finally opened her mouth.

"... Mina, I'm so scared. Humans, of course, but the Demon King and the rest of the Demons are still a little scared."

Scary, she says.

But Mina held my hand back.

"But, you know, brave men are different. The brave are not too scared… they are no longer scared."

"Yes, is it?

"Oh, no. When I get naked, I'm scared."

Yeah, that scares me, too.

Anyway, I get excited about the toddler girl. I don't know because she has a body...... well, forget that.

"If it was, what would you do?

If you're scared, you can go home. I tried to tell him that, but Mina stopped it.

"If you're with the brave, you have to go home"

Now, don't freak out.

Mina told me the truth, staring straight at me.

"Mina, the life of the elves was cramped... I can't eat what I like, I can't sleep freely, someone scolded me all the time"

But there is no one here who restricts freedom that way.

"The Demon King and the Demon Clan are scared now... but I think they'll like it. Mr. Dark Elf said it was fun here. Mina wants to have fun too!

Hearing Mina's words, I understood that what the Demon King was saying was true.

"…… I guess so."

After all, Mina seems a little different than a regular elf.

Then it would be best to have her do what she wants.

"Okay! So, do you want to say hello now? Have fun. I'll help you have fun, too."

Smile and stroke her head again.

Mina smiled innocently and nodded.

"Yeah! Mina, good luck"

She had hindsight.

Because of humans... because of my former compatriots, I just assumed that I was unhappy.

But she's trying to grab her own happiness.

I'm jumping out of my narrow world and throwing myself into the wider world.

She was just a little dazzled.

All this time, what I couldn't do... because Mina fulfills it at this age.

That's amazing - and at the same time I think.

Don't have fun spending time with her, I have that expectation.
