Elfaria Chapter 107

107．Hundred-eyed Giant

　In exchange for Philly snuggling against me, Lilyza's gaze seems to have turned incredibly cold. ...... Well, I deserve it, so I can't say anything about it.

「............」

　Perhaps――Or rather, the way she went out of her way to hug my arms and press her full, beautiful breasts against me, Philly's seriousness, how can I say it――

「Hey, Yuuto♪ When the mess is over and you have some time to relax, why don't you have "impregnation sex" with me?」

　I was absolutely mortified when Philly suddenly said something so outrageous. Lilyza, for example, was trembling at the thought of what had just happened, but...

「I mean literally, having sex until I get pregnant――I want to have a baby with Yuuto♪ Preferably a boy......... How about Yuuto?」

　She said that but I just told her, "No comment", and swore hard not to say anything else. But ...

「...... Philly. That's enough, isn't it?」

　It was Lilyza who said in a voice that seemed to echo from the depths of hell.

「That's not a nice thing to say――impregnation sex? You want a baby? That's totally my line, though?」

「Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.」

　What the hell are you talking about?  I wanted to tsukkomi with a straight face, but judging from her expression, it seems that she was quite serious.

　It was the same with Philly, clinging to me even tighter than before.

「Then, which one of us will conceive Yuuto's child first? Let's have a fair fight at some point, shall we? The first one to have a baby is the "first lady."♪」

「F-First lady?」

「Hmmm. Normally, I would like to have Yuuto all to myself, but―for better or worse―Yuuto is too attractive and a demon of libido♪ I can't take him alone, and if we were to fight it out, it would literally be a "bloodbath".」

「And before that, this idiot will probably keep adding women without limit.」

「Ah♪ I can see that♪」

　For some reason, Philly agrees with Lilyza.

「That said, I can't let go of my pride, or my "something I can't give up"―my desire to be "number one" for the person I love. I can't give up that feeling, and I think it's the same for Lilyza,......, or any of the other girls.」

「――True. In the first place, I don't want to kill Philly either...so how about we talk about that some other time?」

「No objections.」

　Philly nodded in agreement and finally let go of me.

「――Good grief. You guys, really. You guys are aware that this is a dangerous place, right?」

　Osada-kun, who was tired of being so dumbfounded, said that.

「It's good that Philly is safe, but what are we going to do after this?」

「Oh, right. I'd like to ask you something, but what the hell is this "Argos" thing?」

　We can't keep playing the fool forever.

　I asked her with a tightened feeling and expression on my face.

「Let me explain in order. After separating from Yuuto and the others the other day, I went to Bele based on a clue that Danaf-sama had left behind. The reason for my visit was that "an unidentified group of people sometimes gather in a place close to Bele at irregular intervals". I did some research on the matter, but.....」

「So, it seems it was "hit".」

「Yes. That said, it was around 2:00 a.m. when the strange group started to gather―maybe five or six people? Fortunately, thanks to the spirits, I was able to listen to what they were discussing. They seemed to be conducting some kind of experiment here――they were talking about data and observation points, but in the end they said something like, "Return to Argon" or "Argos is ......." So I sent a message using a spirit, but they found it.」

「So, after some twists and turns, you were brought here and captured, huh ....... so that explains things. But...」

　As far as I'm concerned, the story raises several questions.

「Who are these people? I can't say for sure at this point,......, but why did they bring Philly here alive?　They should have killed her on the spot.」

「Yep. That's what I thought too, but maybe they were going to turn me into a slave. I'm an elf, after all.　I've heard they fetch a pretty good price on the black market.」

　In fact, how much would a girl as beautiful as Philly really fetch if she were sold as a slave or sex slave? I can't even imagine. However...

「――I'm going to ask you just in case. Were there any "dark elves" among them?」

「No, there weren't. Besides, they looked very amateurish. ...... I guess it was late at night, but they didn't have hoods on and kept their face bare.」

「Did you see them? Their faces?」

「Yeah. But, three of them were human? The rest were dog-type beastmen, I think? I didn't see them clearly, though.」

「Either way, "What is Argos?" remains unclear, huh」

　Osada-kun said with a sigh.

「No. If it's for a bit, I was able to hear them, you know?」

　Philly said something like that. But

「That said, I was spotted right away―I was so focused on them that I was drugged from behind? It was my mistake that I didn't notice the presence of the enemy until I smelled it.」

「So? What is this Argos guy?」

「As far as I've heard, Argos is like "a being of great wisdom and executive power". ...... There are also bits and pieces about "Rituals" and "underground". ...... and at the end, I hear a voice saying, "It's like a hundred-eyed giant."」

「Somehow I'm not getting the gist of it――it's all a bit vague and indigestible.」

　It seems that there is no change in the fact that some nefarious plan is underway in this region.

「Yuuto. What are you going to do now? Now that we have rescued Philly, should we return to the village?」

　Lilyza made such a suggestion, but I thought better of it with my arms crossed.

「Philly. Is there anything wrong with your body?」

　When I checked, she said, "Not at all?", "Rather, thanks to Yuuto's love for me, I'm doing great♪" with a smile on her face.

「All right, that's a good answer♪ , In that case, let's go to Hanaria Castle and talk with the Duke Mordom........No. Depending on the situation, there will be a brawl, so be prepared for that!」

　As soon as I told them, a scream, "「「「Eeeehhhhhhh~~~~~~!?!?!?」」」", escaped from the mouths of the three of them.

TLN: With this chapter, I'm gonna drop the translation of this novel.
