/SWOOSH/
Seeing the attack that was coming to my face, I reflexively reached out and grabbed the hand that was holding the dagger since it was pretty slow in my eyes.
/THUD/
"Tut…. Tut…. Tut…."
With my hand grabbed the hand of the girl in front of me, I clicked my tongue, expressing my displeasure.
"Grr…"
And there, I faced the girl again with my eyes locking with hers, with her eyes looking at me ferociously.
"Is this how you show your gratitude to your savior in your hometown?"
"….."
To this question, no answer came back, but she was still trying to get rid of my grip holding her hand.
"I will release you, but keep your cool."
Since she was not a threat to me, I decided to let go of her hand.
"Understood?"
"….."
"Understood?"
This time glaring deep into her eyes with my [Tyrant's Aura] activated, I asked.
"….."
However, I did not get the response I was expected.
Normally, when such a thing occurs, when I activate my [Tyrant's Aura], most people would get scared and lose their calm, making a hasty judgment which in this case would be retreating.
But the girl in front of me showed no such reaction.
No, to say it correctly, she hadn't shown any reaction at all, like she was not even affected by my aura.
In fact, let alone getting scared, she was even looking at me more ferociously.
'Ho? Interesting.'
That was what I had in my mind.
'It is the first time I am seeing someone like her. Now, my interest is really piqued; I wonder who this girl is.'
I thought.
Though I could use my All-Seeing Eye, I decided to wait for now.
'It is no fun when you know the answer at the beginning.'
"I really like the look in your eyes, but a wise person once said to me."
"….."
"Nobody will be intimidated by such a gaze if you don't have the strength to back it up."
/THUD/
Grabbing her from her hand and pulling her over to me, I said, closing my face to hers.
"So, just stay like that and don't make any stupid decisions that would end your life. I am not a person you would want to make an enemy."
"Gr..."
With the strength of my grip increasing while crushing her hand, I asked with my battle aura amplifying all around my body.
And as the response, although the ferocious-looking eyes were still there, the girl slightly nodded her head, showing she had understood.
"IT is good that you understood. Now, I will leave your hand, but if you try anything funny, I will cut your head."
"….."
Saying that I left her hand that opened up the distance to give her space.
While also having a more clear view of her body.
Since I hadn't paid much attention while lifting the debris, I hadn't noticed before.
That she had pointy ears over her head.
Pointy ears, bright silver hair that flowed to her waist, slender body that was filled with dust all over, her face covered with dust was also not able to hide shining skin underneath.
Overall, she was looking pretty; it was no wonder Thomas almost lost his control.
'Ho, so she is an elf. That also explains this symbol I am seeing over here.'
Seeing the symbol over the knight's armor that was lying on the ground, I thought.
A symbol that had small tree leaves that were covering a shield.
'Special Knight Forces of Mirkwood Kingdom.'
Although it is not a known symbol in the general world, I remembered it from the game.
'There was a quest related to the knights of the Elven Kingdom, though it is still too early for that quest.'
Remembering the storyline, I thought.
'Something has happened here, and it is related to the identity of this girl.'
Thinking that, I finished the thoughts on my hand and turned my attention to the girl again.
"Come with me."
Signaling for her to come with me, I started walking.
And she started following me without making any noise.
It seems she has calmed down for now.
'The sky is opening. Just as I expected, the storm was the work of the spirit of the cursed weapon, Veraanix.'
Veraanix was an evil spirit that was very tricky to deal with in the game since he would appear as a necromancer-blood-type enemy in the future at the hands of a girl.
'Hmm…. A girl. Now that I think about it, that girl had pointy ears as well.'
'She was called Lirienne in the game, but her real name was unknown. A lot of players had assumed she was an elf, though there were no discrete proofs.'
Remember the scene where an elf with pointy ears was attacking a heroine of the game, I thought?
'We will see. Now that I have dealt with Veraanix, that event won't happen probably. Anyway, since the storm is over, I should send a signal for others to come here since those girls seemed to be in a very bad condition.'
Thinking that, I grabbed a magical tool from my ring.
It was a tool with light attribute mana that would work like a flare gun.
After reaching the Black-Bison that was sleeping there with a lot of girls unconscious over their heads, I pressed the button, and soon, a pillar of light followed.
'With that, the only thing I need to do is wait.'
Although the life of these girls is not that important to me, I need to confirm that I was the one that killed Thomas. I also don't want my reputation to hit bottom as well, since for some reason, when it comes to the lives of women, everyone is voicing their thoughts while nobody cares about what a man does….
"Now, we can finally talk…."
After that, I turned my head to the elf that was waiting beside my mouth and asked.
"Who are you?"
And after I asked this question, the girl connected her eyes with me.
"I am Flora Gly-…. No. I am Lirienne…. Just Lirienne….."
While activating my [All Seeing Eye]...
