The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated Chapter 103: Is That Really Fine?

"Reward?"

Shien stopped moving.

It couldn't be helped.

"… It can't be sothing like the reward is yourself, right?"

Those words were only lightly murmured, but on the quiet path, it was unusually clear.

"Eh?" lika was stunned for a mont before replying in a panic, "N-No. It's not like that!"

It looks like this elven girl was quite clear what he ant by that.

"Then, what did you an exactly?"

Shien turned back around, showing an interested expression.

"Um…" lika seed to be feeling rather awkward under Shien's gaze. After hesitating for a while, she finally pointed to the woods nearby and spoke quietly, "Can you follow over there?"

When he heard that, Shien ended up overreacting a little.

"The woods?"

Instantly, Shien felt like a few hundred CGs flashed through his mind.

lika, who didn't know that Shien's reasoning was close to collapsing, started walking toward the direction of the woods. At the sa ti though, her gaze still kept wandering over to where Markray was.

"Can we really just leave him here alone like this?"

lika seed to still be sowhat worried.

"Of course." Shien rolled his eyes at her, "Don't mind him anymore. Besides, he's soone who had and is still trying to harm you, so why are you even worried about soone like that?"

Rather, if this was a book with so OP protagonist, when soone like that appeared, they were generally canon fodder who solely appeared to be crushed by the protagonist. They'd be minor characters designed to give the protagonist a chance to show off and earn the love of beautiful girls. Generally, they wouldn't live past 10 chapters. All Shien did was teach this particular one a lesson. Compared to similar protagonists, he was already being exceptionally kind there.

Of course, that was also because Shien's relationship with lika wasn't all that great. They couldn't even be called friends, only acquaintances that happen to be mbers in the sa party. A temporary party mber at that. Plus, lika wasn't like Vivian and Diere who cared for Shien, so Shien only taught Markray a lesson out of being unable to stomach his behavior.

If the person that Markary had targeted was Shien's lover or wife though…

Instantly, another few hundred CGs flashed through Shien's mind. Only this ti, those CG weren't ones with a pinkish aura, but bloody red.

"Gah… !"

Markray who was still hung from the tree reacted. Perhaps he was being tortured in a nightmare, or maybe he felt a strange chill, but he unconsciously shuddered and let out an unclear scream.

Although lika did have so worries about Markray's condition, but whether it was because she rembered this particular incident or the previous ti she was pestered by Markray, in the end, she just lowered her head and left without a word into the bushes.

Shien followed without particularly hurrying.

That place was left with just Markray hanging alone. He swung slightly with a slightly hypnotic motion.

…

On the other side, Shien had followed lika into the woods.

However, not long after they entered the woods, lika had stopped and knelt down onto the ground.

No, with that particular pose, although one can call it kneeling, she in fact had both knees on the ground. She looked like a little animal, with her hands on the ground holding her up.

"…"

Shien who was walking behind her froze right there. As he looked at lika who suddenly got down on all fours, with that cute and alluring peach pointed in his direction, his face started to twitch.

What is this?

Is this an invitation?

It's an invitation, right?

It's an invitation!

As expected, it really is sothing like that! The reward is herself, right!?

No no no. This is already beyond that. Is it really find to go with that kind of position starting out?

Just as Shien was having a hard ti keeping himself under control, a strange phenonon was happening over with lika.

"————Oh faeries, answer ————"

With a dreamy incantation, lika started releasing magic power from her hands into the ground.

It was a very gentle, warm, and refreshing flow of magic power. With it, in the area around where lika's hands were, a number of flowers started growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is?"

Shien was stunned.

Right away, Shien rembered.

"I seem to have read about sothing like this in a book."

It was a chronicle about the elven race.

According to it, among the many mortal races, elves were not only a noble and magical race with outstanding beauty, their own compatibility with magic was also imnsely high. Thus, they were greatly admired and respected by the other races.

Due to their great magical talents, elves were basically all natural born mages. They could use all kinds of magic, and their own magic power were also far greater than the other races, to the point where they could match even the demons. Thus, elves were one of the races particularly beloved by the gods, and most of them could get the blessing of a high class god. The elven royalty have also birthed several existences who have gained the blessing from one of the three great goddesses, and quite a few of them have also fought alongside the Heroes from other worlds. Thus was born many stories and legends about such things.

Since those elves were born from nature, their compatibility with nature was also extrely high. Thus, their magic power has a certain quality to it that no other races do.

And that was that their magic power contained a high density of life energy. It could even affect the nearby environnt to stimulate and speed up the growth of plants.

At this mont, lika seems to be doing sothing like that.

"Please wait a mont."

Not long after, lika stopped, turned around, and showed Shien a smile.

It must be said, that smile was really not good. Seriously not good.

That scene of a pure and beautiful elf girl siting in a field of flowers turning to show a smile. Besides not good, how else could Shien describe it?

lika who didn't notice any of that started picking a number of flowers along with the stem. Then, with practiced motions, she started binding them together.

As he watched, Shien soon understood what lika was trying to do.

"Are you making a flower crown for ?"

Shien asked her.

"Y-yes." lika nodded and murmured, "Although it's my first ti doing it, I'm quite clear on how to do it."

That was because it was sothing that any elf could do.

Since elves were close to nature and are a kind and conservative race, when soone of another race had gained their recognition, they would use their own magic power to grow flowers infused with magic power, make them into a flower crown, and then gift them as a sign of their appreciation or closeness.

Those flower crowns had magic power constantly circulating though them, so they wouldn't wilt or change even after 10 or 20 years.

Having a flower crown like that basically ant that the holder had gained the trust or thanks of an elf. In the mortal world, it was quite a status symbol.

In human kingdoms, there were even nobility would would spend enormous amounts of gold to collect elven the flower crowns. That just showed how great the anings of those flower crowns were.
