Chapter 122. Young Elf Warrior (1)
Let’s go back a little in time.
After Daichi and the others encountered the Elf warrior, Raul, and had an unreasonable confrontation.
Following the assignment from their chief, Titis, Raul, with an irritated stride, walked outside the village, after shooing away Riviera and her two companions, who were yapping at him.
“Senpai! It’s Raul-senpai!”
Relentlessly trailing after him was a young apprentice warrior named Refil.
Having awakened as a warrior less than a month ago, Refil admired the skilled warrior, Raul.
While Raul considered Refil a beloved disciple, his attitude towards him was somewhat aloof.
“What is it, Refil?”

“Because they are humans. Humans cannot be trusted.”
“But isn’t it about a friendly relationship between the Elf and human races?”
“Riviera said they get kidnapped by human bandits. Humans are capable of such things. If you trust them, you’ll end up regretting it.”
“That’s not right, Raul-senpai. There are good and bad individuals in both the human and Elf.”
At that moment, Raul abruptly stopped and turned towards Refil, grabbing the young Elf by his collar and lifting him.
“Ugh… R-Raul… Senpai…!?”
“You dare talk back to me like you know everything, Refil? Tell me, do you have a girl you like?”
“W-Why… something like that…”
“I’m asking if there’s a girl you like.”
“Y-Yes…! But what does that have to do with…”
“Now, imagine that girl being tormented by human scum, laughing while they abuse her. Picture those hypocritical humans who won’t lift a finger to help even if they witness it.”
“……!?”
“It’s not about logic, Refil. Understand this. The sight that burned into my eyes that day still stirs up distrust and hatred towards humans.”
Raul’s grip on Refil’s collar loosened, and he placed the young Elf gently on the ground.
“Cough, cough…! S-Sorry, Raul-senpai…”
“I don’t hold a grudge against you, Refil. But let’s not discuss this anymore. I don’t trust myself to remain rational.”
“Understood… I’m sorry, Raul-senpai.”
Although Refil didn’t fully comprehend the situation, he understood that this topic touched a nerve with Raul.
Regaining their composure, Refil and Raul resumed patrolling the area around the settlement.

However, Refil was still an inexperienced apprentice.
Even against weaker monsters like Mutant Apes or Death Spiders, let alone Killer Wasps or Giant Vipers.
He struggled in battle.
When encountering weak monsters, Refil would fight them under the watchful eye of experienced warriors like Raul, gaining valuable experience.
Gradually building his strength, Refil’s current goal was to become a full-fledged warrior capable of protecting the settlement on his own.
But then, unexpectedly…
While on patrol for some time, Refil and Raul saw an unforeseen horde of monsters.
It was a mixed group of monsters that could be called a full-course meal of creatures found in this area.
They’re Death Spiders, Killer Wasps, Giant Vipers, and Mutant Apes—making it a formidable assembly.
Watching the scene from a distance with astonishment, Refil muttered, “W-what’s with their numbers!? There are 15… 20… no, there are even more! And at this rate, they might head straight for the village…!?”
“Tch…! Refil, let’s run to the settlement. We need to inform Titis and have all the warriors mobilize for defense.”
“Y-Yes!”
Refil hurried back to the village alongside Raul.
