The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

20 – 020. Elf village of gender reversal

Our next destination was Bardel Village, but for some reason, we ended up in the elven village of Alfheim.

From green grass and log cabins built on tree trunks to the magnificent World Tree and fairies flying around it.

It felt like entering a forest from a fairy tale.

If I had been a little girl, I would have been screaming and screaming.

“Wow!”

The dragon tribe, which reached down to my chin, jumped in place and was happy.

Still, it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t understand it because Rene didn’t know the original world.

The part I couldn’t accept was the scene unfolding inside Alfheim.

“My daughter, what do you want to eat for dinner?”

“Um… ! Chicken breast steak made by my dad! I’ve been doing less lower body exercises lately because I’m studying, so I lost muscle!”

Originally, the father would have to laugh hahahahahoho with his daughter on his back.

In the village of the elves, a little girl went around with her father wrapped around her.

It was a bizarre sight, but seeing the girl’s strong thighs and biceps, I could understand it.

“There, Mr. Hu!”

“Why are you calling me?”

“The stairs are shaking terribly. Throw a hammer around there to fix it.”

“okay.”

When I only heard the conversation, it was a common conversation between the construction site men.

However, the construction worker here was, of course, an elf woman. The problem is that the construction site man and the outfit are similar.

He was wearing only trousers and nothing on top.

The elf workers were openly exposing their pectoralis major muscles.

Fortunately, the towel draped over her shoulder covered all the important parts, so she barely kept the water level.

“Are there any problems? You’re sweating profusely… ?”

“It’s a problem… … .”

The town itself was full of problems, so I was at a loss for words.

I know the setting of male and female reversal, but it was difficult to adapt to this atmosphere right now.

I realized that it is very difficult to keep up with the trend of the times.

“It’s because the forest is a bit muggy. It will get better if you take off your coat, so don’t worry about it.”

“Is that so. If you have any other problems, please feel free to let us know! We will help you both physically and mentally!”

“okay.”

Unlike the time of the attack, his polite attitude was burdensome.

It seems like they have high expectations from me, but I’m not sure why.

[Probably because of the illusion of death that this body gave to the elves.]

‘What scene did you show me?’

[The woman would have been Asa, and the man would have been the fortune teller.]

the problem was here

Seeing the fantasy of being killed by a double-dealing boss just by aiming a knife and spitting out death?

From the point of view of the elven priest, I must have been an existence in the realm of incomprehensibility.

Looking sideways, the nape of his neck was actually wet with cold sweat. Yongke was also pretending to be calm.

“First of all, I’m going to take you on a tour of our village. How about it?”

“No, only guide me to places where I can stay. It’s getting dark, and I’m thinking of taking a break because I’m having a lot of hard work today.”

“All right.”

From the morning that started with a hangover, to the adventurer’s store, solving the ant’s troubles, packing after returning, the elf’s attack, and visiting the dizzying elf village.

When I recalled that I had gone through all of this in one day, the fatigue set in.

So I decided to rest comfortably for the evening.

Renee’s gaze at me was unusual. Come to think of it, there was also a promise I shared with her.

“I’m sorry, but could you prepare a small welcome party?”

“Are you welcome?”

“I know it’s an unreasonable request. In the current situation where the saintess was kidnapped, it is premature for us, who have not done anything yet, to be welcomed. I’ll ask you a little bit though. I have a kid who wants to party.”

I stroked Renee’s hair until her hair got messy.

It took a lot of work, but it was an act that came from a heart that could not be disliked.

Renee didn’t hate it as much, so she didn’t resist strongly.

“I will try to ask the other elves for their understanding. I’ll let you know later if it’s possible, so I’ll guide you to the lodging first.”

“thank you. Please listen to this nonsense.”

“it’s okay. If this brings prosperity to Alfheim, you can do it hundreds of times.”

An elf priest who answered with a bright smile.

Although he was a man, his warmth changed my perception.

Alfheim of the gender reversal. Maybe it’s not such a bad town.

***

“Big! It kills the body!”

“Look at those toned muscles! How can a man have a toned body… ?”

“Brother, would you like some honey wine? It’s Alfheim’s specialty, and it’s sweet enough for men to like it?”

Alfheim was the worst town.

At the same time as the banquet started, the elves flocked to me.

If it was a normal fantasy world, I would have been laughing and laughing.

My face was like a hardened stone.

“It’s a welcome party for my brother, but can it be done because the person concerned is so firm? Let’s have fun together!”

“Because it’s your first time meeting, you feel unfamiliar and nervous, right? Don’t worry, we’ll make it fun for sure!”

“If you don’t like this atmosphere, shall we go out with your sister? I know a lake that is secluded and has a great atmosphere.”

Hyenas stick out their tongues and look at me greedily.

Among them, there were those who touched my forearm and checked my muscles.

I felt as if I had become a pretty junior at a university freshman welcome party.

[Contractor, why don’t you annihilate these dwarves right now?]

‘no. I’ve already invested in order to obtain the fruit of the World Tree, but now I want to give up?’

[Can’t you get it after killing everyone?]

‘You don’t even know if the fruit is ripe yet. Besides, you’re telling me to deal with hundreds of elves alone?’

[You have this body. Don’t worry!]

‘I don’t think I’ll lose either. But you always have to keep in mind the situation when you lose.’

The story after being defeated by the elves came naturally to me.

Imprisoned in a dark prison, surrounded by elves, I will be tortured severely.

After that, they will gradually train you. In my final words… … .

“say! Who do you think of now?”

“Eh, I thought of Elf-sama’s beautiful abs… !”

I lost my will to fight because I thought I would never be able to return to the present me again.

I don’t doubt my skills, but wouldn’t it be better if everything went smoothly?

I didn’t want to ruin things that could be good for my sister and brother-in-law with my greed.

[Then what are you going to do now?]

‘well… .’

I glanced at Renee.

Adapting to the welcome party, she ate happily and was enjoying herself.

This banquet was a party for her, so it seems difficult to ask for help… … .

In the end, the only option left was to run away.

“I’m sorry, but can you tell me where the bathroom is?”

“If elves are not inside a building, they tend to solve it outdoors. It doesn’t matter if we use the bathroom at home… !”

“I’ll solve it outside the bush and come back”

“Aren’t the night roads scary? If you’re scared, I can go with you!”

“I do not need.”

The invitations of the elves were full of selfishness.

Do you feel the tenacity to try something for me?

Wanting to keep my chastity as much as possible, I hurriedly left the place.

They got out of the banquet hall safely, but it was a problem from now on.

If I went back to the inn right away, it seemed that the elves would forcefully drag me out, saying that the banquet would start now.

He needed a place where there were few elves coming and going and a good place to pass the time.

Looking around the buildings, there was one place that met the conditions.

A temple built under the World Tree.

It was full of sentinels until sunset, but as the banquet began, the number of sentries decreased.

It was a security level that I could infiltrate with my covert action.

‘Shall we go… .’

After covering my entire body with darkness, I fell backwards as if falling.

with a plop-!

Through my shadow, I entered the underworld like the sea.

It was underwater where gravity was not felt at all, but strangely, the action was free in the other side world.

I walked through the space and slowly made my way to the temple.

[Huh… !]

‘what’s the matter?’

[I never thought that the Contractor would know about the existence of the Underworld.]

‘… … I came to know about it through a book I came across by chance.’

It’s a setting from Adog Choi. I didn’t lie at all.

[It seems that forbidden books still remained in the human world.]

‘Well, that’s how it is. First of all, this story ends here!’

Having infiltrated the temple, I split my shadow and escaped back to the real world.

Now, if you look inside the temple without being noticed… … .

“Who are you there?”

“huh… ?”

A high, soft voice came from a place where no presence could be felt.

When I turned my head, there was an elf with a veil woven of leaves over his head, clasping his hands.

Unlike other elves, that elf had a mysterious yet alluring beauty.

Her hair, swept away by the veil, was like a new sprout,

The eyes that captured my image shone like emeralds.

The priest’s costume, which was made only of leaves and vines, sparsely exposed her white inner flesh, giving it a sacred and strange feeling.

To put it in a word, the word erope came to mind.

“Can’t you hear me… ?”

“ah… ! Sin, sorry! I was wandering around looking for a bathroom and came across it by accident.”

“is that so. The bathroom is over there, so feel free to use it.”

I almost fell in love with her fresh smile, but I endured it.

From nob le mt l. co m

No matter what, it must be a man.

I couldn’t fall for a man. I calmed down and headed to the bathroom.

On the way, I tapped the elf on the shoulder to say thank you… … .

“Wow!!”

“Wow!”

Suddenly, the elf shuddered and stepped back.

I was taken aback by that action.

“Why, why?”

“ah! That, because this is the first time that this ingredient comes into contact with the skin.”

“yes? aha! Do not worry. After all, I am a man.”

It seems that I mistook it for a woman because of my stout body.

“I-I know! I mean, you know… … .”

At those words and the figure of the elf shyly lowering his head, I blinked.

weird. There is no way there could be such a feminine woman in the world.
