When I heard this, I revealed a bitter smile.
That was because I was already expecting this question.
So that meant that I had already thought of an answer, it was just that the answer that I had thought of wasn't…that great of an answer. It was actually a loophole that I was taking advantage of, so I was very curious how it would actually turn out.
That bitter smile disappeared from my face and I said with a calm look, "You all should know that I am acquainted with Aisha, correct?"
All of the elders nodded in response to this, especially the green haired elder who had a strange look on her face.
I couldn't help feeling that the green haired elder was more invested in this than the other elders.
At the same time, I could feel an intense gaze coming from behind me.
I knew without even turning around that this gaze came from Moon.
It seemed that the two of them were really interested in Aisha and anything related to her.
So I continued, "When I met with Aisha, she was trapped in a certain place and to help her escape, I had to use something in her Storage Ring. Since that was the case, she had no choice but to teach me how to use the Storage Ring."
The moment that I finished saying this, there were looks from the green haired elder and Moon as if they were waiting for me to keep going.
However, that was all that I was willing to say.
The more vague that I kept it, the more believable that it was since they couldn't do anything to prove that I was telling a lie…
Well, that's not true since there was something that they could do to tell that I was lying.
During the time that I had been giving my explanation, I could feel the magic around me.
It was the same sensation that I had when I had first come into the room and the green haired elder questioned me about the demons.
They had most likely activated the same spell as before to see if I was lying.
Seeing that I wasn't saying anything else, the green haired elder gave a sigh before turning to look at the other elders.
One by one, the other elders all gave nods in response.
Based on the looks on their faces, it seemed like they had determined that I wasn't lying.
In a sense, I really wasn't lying since I had done this in the past…
It was just that I had done it in the game.
This was the event that one had to do to gain Aisha's trust and open up her quest line in the game. By doing this, one unlocked the chance to eventually reach the elven capital and bring Aisha, as well as other elves in their harem.
It had been a very hard event since it required players to be high enough level and have enough mana to deal with the barrier she was stuck in, so it was considered late game content.
Not to mention, it was supposed to happen five years in the future.
Right now, Aisha was still currently wandering around the continent without a care. It was only four years in the future that she would be trapped inside of those ruins.
If one day she found out about this…then there was no doubt that I would be in danger.
So I just prayed that I would never meet her.
But for now, I used her name since that was the easiest way to settle this matter.
And in a sense, I did do this, even if it was in an alternate world.
After confirming with all the elders that I wasn't lying, the green haired elder gave a nod before saying, "Alright, because of the circumstances, we understand that you had no choice in the matter. Since that's the case, we will not hold you accountable for this because of all you've done for our elven race."
I just gave a simple nod in response to this.
I had to admit that magic really was a convenient thing.
I had assumed that it would be hard for me to explain how I knew how to use the Storage Rings, but they had accepted what I had said all because of this magic spell that they were using.
It certainly made things much easier for me.
The green haired elder might have dropped this matter, but it was clear by the look in her eyes that she had wanted to keep discussing Aisha.
At the same time, I could feel the same gaze coming from behind me, coming from Moon's eyes.
I didn't know what kind of connection they had with Aisha, but I was certain that there was some kind of connection.
Still, I would never admit anything even if I was beaten to death…
I was just using the knowledge from my previous life to lie to them after all.
I hoped that I would never meet Aisha in this life.
Since that matter had been settled, they finally moved on to the next and final matter.
It was the matter of the magic array draining magic power out of the forest.
But before we started discussing this, the elders said that they had a special witness that they needed to bring in before this.
The three of us were surprised to hear this, but we didn't mind, so we waited for the elders to bring this special witness in.
Two of the elders left the building and it didn't take long for them to come back.
But as they were coming back, I could hear some strange noises coming from outside.
These seemed to be the sound of someone struggling against something.
When the door opened and we saw who the elders brought in, we couldn't help being shocked.
It was the demon commander who they were bringing into the room.
