Queen of Avalon: Adventure Solo

Chapters 10

Eli walked along with the elves. Aimon took her hand and took her somewhere.

"By the way, where are we going?"

"Isn't it clear? We'd like to introduce you to the villagers in our village."

"Your house is in a village?"

Eli said in a questioning tone.

He thought, mythical creatures like them live in a magnificent house, with so much wealth.

Eli made no mistake, having read the history books he had read in the academy's library.

"Our village is not far away. Only after we've passed through this forest will we all arrive."

Eli watched the elven girl who spoke to him.

He was holding a little boy who was an elf as well. The little boy whined and extended his hand to Elizabeth.

All those who heard the child crying stopped their steps.

"Coco, what's wrong with you?"

The girl asked in a worried tone to the little boy.

"Hikss..."

"What's wrong with her?"

"I don't know. It's not usual for Coco to act like this."

Aimon approached Coco, the little girl who was carrying her.

"Coco?"

He asked in a soft tone. Coco was still crying with a sobbing tone.

"Gwwendon." (Loof!)

"Loof?"

Aimon realized something. Coco seemed to want to be carried by Elizabeth.

It seems that there is something in Eli that makes Coco really want to be carried by him.

"Coco, you can't! He's a guest and we have to keep our manners."

Eli who was stiff with this situation asked.

"What's wrong with him?"

"It seems, Coco would love to be carried by mu—."

Not yet finished speaking, the elf girl was made trouble by Coco who kept moving her body forward. It was as if she would very much want to be in Elizabeth's lap.

"Gwwendonh! Gwendonh!" (Loof! Carp!)

Even Eli who felt sorry extended his hand.

"You don't have to! After all, you are our hero, a guest whom we have great respect for. If we act disrespectfully, then we will receive punishment."

"It's okay, after all—", Eli restrained his voice as his hand lifted Coco from the elf girl's lap. He took Coco into his arms and patted her on the shoulder so that the little boy would calm down. "I was also astonished, why such a sweet child seemed so eager to be carried by a human like me."

As his crying subsided, Eli stretched his arms. Coco opened her eyes wide and looked at Elizabeth with her eyes so bright and big.

Eli made a puzzled look on his face as Coco chuckled– chuckles.

"Chi."

"What's Coco? Did you really– wanted to be carried by me, until you whined so hard?"

"Yewshhh!" (Yes!)

"It's so cute! Let me kiss you!"

"Haha! Gweellii!" (Geli!)

The elves who were watching the rarest moment in front of them were instantly speechless. Each of the– drowned in their daydreams.

Aimon who was still in his consciousness realized that something was wrong.

"Why is Coco so interested in that human being? Or don't–jangan—"

He woke up and immediately woke the other elves from their daydream. They realized and immediately asked Aimon who was shaking the body of the other elves.

"Amon, what's wrong?"

"There's something I need to talk to you about."

The elves were staring at each other. After deliberating, they looked at Eli who was laughing cheerfully along with Coco on his lap.

They knew what Aimon was going to talk about. They also understood him.

"Didn't something strange happen?"

"If you were to talk about Coco's behavior to that human, it would be."

The other elves also discussed. "Coco does not want to be carried by any creature except us. But why is he so interested in that man?"

Aimon thought, if this was known by the villagers, it would definitely be big news.

The girl who was carrying Coco approached Aimon and said.

"What?"

"Are you senile!? Recall the words of the village chief back then!"

Aimon was a little surprised as the girl raised her voice. He immediately thought back, and closed both of his eyes.

He also remembers that. Since birth, Coco was bestowed with the ability to detect the Divine power that was nearby.

As the only elf in their village who got the award. Coco became a talisman for the elves to avoid the attacks of the demons who tried to attack them at that time.

"Ah yes you are right. I remember it."

And the only way to know if Coco detected Divine power in the surrounding area was to look at her behavior.

When Coco succeeds in detecting the Divine Power, she will become so happy and so happy. Because Divine power is a very powerful magic and is able to fight Darkness magic.

"Are you sure that this human named Elizabeth has divine magic?"

"Keep, how did you explain Coco's behavior earlier?"

What the young elf asked was a point as well.

Seeing the cheerful Coco, laughing on Elizabeth's lap made them all so sure that Eli had Divine magic in him.

Eli, who was content to play with Coco, looked at Aimon and the other elves. He doesn't know anything, but it seems they're all discussing something.

"What are you all talking about?"

Aimon and the elves who heard Elizabeth's voice turned their bodies.

Because the distance between them was so far away, Eli and Aimon approached each other.

Coco who was still in the lap of the girl just smiled while occasionally sucking her thumb.

"Elizabeth, there's something I want to ask you."

"What's that?"

"Lookin um–"

Aimon threw his face at the other elves, as did they, throwing glances at each other. Eli thought, it seems that there is something so serious they want to ask him.

"Ask only! Is this about personal?"

"Not so–", said another elf who has a posture as high as Eli. He is a male–laki and has white skin. "It's about Coco."

"Is something wrong?"

"Since birth, Coco was awarded the ability to detect Divine magic. One feature if he can detect the magic is seen from his behavior–"

Aimon continued the conversation. "Coco doesn't want to be carried by any creature, except us. Then from that..."

Ah so so!

"You mean, he wants to be carried by me because–"

"That's right. We want to ask if it has Divine magic?"

Divine magic or commonly called Divine magic. This was a high-level magic that people rarely had. So rare, anyone who has this magic is considered a Saint.

This magic is magic that is directly given by Gods and is very powerful. The wearer can do anything, such as: heal the sick, expel the spirit–roh or demon, and the opponent of Darkness magic.

Hearing that question made Eli laugh in his heart.

Me? Have Divine magic? Hahahaha.don't joke.

The person who possessed this magic had such a huge responsibility to protect mankind from the evil energy. According to the words of the elders in the book that he often read.

...「Divine Magic is magic capable of neutralizing Darkness magic. Protecting humanity, freeing the world from evil energy, and killing the Demon King is the responsibility of everyone who has it.」...

Let alone protecting every human being, protecting his own life– alone must be paid for with life.

Eli regained his senses from his daydream and looked ahead. Aimon and the other elves looked at him in astonishment.

"ah! Am I daydreaming? M–forgive me yes."

"It's okay–apa. We shouldn't have asked that question, if you don't want to answer it then there's no need."

Aimon smiled with a worried look, afraid that Eli would be offended by the question. Eli who saw Aimon's facial expression replied with a helping hand, he stroked Aimon's cheek and ruffled her hair.

He realized that elves were different from humans. They have a greater sense of empathy and guilt than humans.

Humans are different, their nature is unpredictable. There was a very good front, but behind him he was able to play with a knife and kill his victims. Some are so greedy with wealth and think only of the people of–the people they love, including the nobles.

I think their nature is the same as in the books I read. Looks like I was wrong.

Eli was even afraid, he himself was afraid to trust others. Looking back on his first life, Eli was so arrogant and always stepped on people who were inferior to him.

He had been shrouded and felt greedy, envious, and arrogant.

Well.that's the past. I'm not the old Elizabeth anymore.

"Alright, the answer is.... No."

"Huh???"

"No. I don't have Divine magic."

"EEEHHHHHH??!!"

They were surprised and said "Eh" simultaneously.
