Chapter 105 : The Girl’s Secret(2)
“… …I Understand, I will tell my circumstances to Myne-san and Her Highness Sylphid. After listening to the story, if you can forgive it, please take me under your care.”
Saying that, Ami-san faced Sylphy and me.
“Firstly, this appearance... … is not my real appearance. I altered it using a certain type of magic tool.”
… …Appearance Alteration?
That’s right, that’s probably the Magic Waffle mentioned earlier.
But why would she have to alter her appearance?
What are her circumstances that she has to hide?
Given the circumstances, it doesn’t make sense.
… …But, although Ami-san says that she used magic, she’s still a woman.
Mumumu, it’s getting confusing.
Perhaps, the act of altering her appearance is directly related to the secret that’s troubling King-sama and Guild Chief.
Why would it bother such great people?
At least now, it will become apparent.
… … And for some reason, I’m thrilled. (Nanka, suggoku dokidokishichau na. dokidoki again lol XD)
“Now, I will cancel that magic.”
Saying that, Ami-san put her hand on the bracelet attached to her right arm, and uttering chants from a language I’ve never heard of, her body temporarily turned transparent before her appearance changed completely.
Gazing at her real appearance, Sylphy and I were lost of words.
「「……E, Elf 」」(TR : Elf, Banzai !? Megane, Banzai !? Elf Megane, Banzai !?)
So Ami-san’s true identity was an Elf.
Moreover, it is of a higher race called High Elf.

Blessing of the World Tree
Elves. It is a tribe that inhabits the forest’s hinterlands and is living with nature.
Their appearances are extremely beautiful which I think are out of this world. Their most distinct characteristic and are their pointed long ears.
… …And because of their superior appearance, from other races, regardless of male or female, they are hunted without mercy.
No… …That’s even an understatement.
There was a country of the Hume Race called Wils.
Or, was called Wils before it was destroyed.
The King of Wils at that time, was fascinated by the beauty of the Elves.
At first, he just bought female Elves that were unfortunately caught and turned into slaves by Slave Merchants.
However, his desires gradually become larger.
While buying from Slave Merchants, he also began abducting Elves on his own.
Still, the desire of the King was unfulfilled.
Finally, using his position, he ignited a war to make the Elven Country itself, his.
Naturally, the conscientious Kings of other countries condemned their foolishness and made a Joint Forces to stop his madness.
……However, the result was none of the extended hands from those countries that came to rescue had reached the Elves.
When the soldiers from the various countries arrived, both Wils and the Elven Country had already been destroyed.
At the beginning of the war, Wils Country was overwhelming and many Elves were captured.
It can’t be helped since the Elves never thought that an entire country would suddenly display aggression for such a reason.
It was literally a surprise attack.
Moreover, Elves are not a race that likes fighting.
They wanted to oppose but could not resist and were suppressed in a blink of an eye.
Things should have ended that way.
However, the reckless actions of the King of Wils didn’t stop there, and thus, the worst case scenario happened.
In the Elven Country, there is God Tree called the World Tree (Yggdrasil).
Because all the materials obtained from the World Tree are exceptional medicines and equipments, the King tried to make the World Tree his own too.
The World Tree was sacred, and through it, God had given tremendous treasures to this world. But, the King was faithless and was only faithful to his own desires.
Therefore, the existence of the World Tree reflected in his eyes only “a golden tree that produces expensive materials.”
So after controlling the Elves, in order to obtain the materials of the World Tree, he issued a large-scale instruction to his army to cut it down.
Putting aside the cries of the caught Elves and some of his people who tried to stop him.
As a result, the Country of Wils was destroyed.
With the captured Elves as collateral damage.
To protect the World Tree, the Divine Beast Ymir appeared.
Ymir’s power was tremendous and in a blink of an eye, the army of Wils was annihilated.
And since the Wils’ armies were spread throughout the Elven Country, as a result, the Elves were also annihilated by Ymir’s wrath.
Of course, there were Elves that survived, but, there’s still no mistaken that most of them had perished.
After that, Ymir attacked Wils, including all the unrelated citizens, he turned them all to ashes then disappeared.
… …Ami-san is from the Elf Race that faced that tragedy.
Of course, even now, there are still insolent fellows who want to catch Elves and turn them to slaves.
No, to be precise without any hint of exaggeration, it is rather increasing.
The Elves were already a scarce race and with the Wils’ case, it had been more so.
For Slave Dealers, their rarity is screaming gold coins.
“… …Have you understood? I hide my real appearance with magic but it is not perfect. I do not know when someone will target me.”
I see, that’s why King-sama and the Guild Chief were in panic.
As the Head of the Country, it is natural to protect the Elves from meeting the same fate again.
However, it would also be the same as announcing to the world that he is hiding the Elves. Things will be frantic since people now have an idea to the whereabouts of such person.
… …I see, so that’s their reason in involving me. In terms of fighting power and the existence of the [Unique Magic · Space Time].
If they are hiding something this big, then it only make sense.
Perhaps, the King is wondering whether it would be better to provide protection through the Royal Palace or through our Clan when he received the proposal from Aisha.
In the end, he chose us that can live more freely rather than in the Royal Palace that’s filled with freedom restrictions.
Surely, I believe he decided that in consideration to Ami-san.
“… …Even after knowing my true identity, would you still invite me?”
Ami-san looked at me with eyes that had given up everything.
Un, I have decided my answer from the very beginning.
Looking at Sylphy, she nodded in reply.
“Hai! Ami-san! From now on yoroshiku onegaishimasu!”
Thus, our household had increased.
TN : I think I will make a schedule at least 1 chapter per week (at least for now) for three series that I translating. I don\'t know, maybe there will be change in the future.
