Never Die Extra

Chapter 264

Evan D. Sherden, Reunion (2)

A little time had passed since the high elf Mirole, who was praised as the princess of the Eternal Elves, suddenly declared to join the Knights of Astray. Evan endured the time waiting for someone to worry about her existence, which had been too much for him to handle alone.

Mirole, who looked at him every time she encountered him and silently urged him to answer, also had to endure the female members’ gazes, who had all been questioning her and Evan about their relationship!

His savior visited him exactly two nights after Mirole came to the dungeon city.

“Grandpa!”

“My gosh!”

The northern gate of the dungeon city experienced a deep night where the moonlight was dim, and one couldn’t even see a shadow. As soon as Bernard and Illoin appeared, Evan ran toward them.

They seemed to have tried to sneak in as much as possible to prevent a disturbance, but they couldn’t fool Evan, who was able to distinguish the magic wavelengths of people who were already far away.

“Don’t scream, you son of a gun. I can’t stand the hassle.”

“I missed you, Grandpa!”

“Oh, don’t act like a grown baby… Ohhh!”

Evan hugged Bernard on the spot. Unable to resist Evan’s incredible strength, Bernard followed him around. With their daughter in her arms, Illoin looked at the two with a joyful expression.

“Long time no see, Evan.”

“Hi!”

“Oh, long time no see, Illoin. So, this is Eir. We’ll take good care of her.”

“Yep! Nice to meet you!”

Then Evan separated from Bernard and said hello to the Elf mother and daughter. He had heard that elves mature slower than humans, but were half-elves different? The child, who was not yet three years old, reached out her arm to Evan, responding bravely.

He reached out his finger and shook the child’s hand. As the daughter of Illoin and Bernard, her features were already strong. However, her hair color and eyes were light green, just like her mother.

‘Magic, huh…’

“…It feels like magic.”

“I’ll explain that part!”

Rose popped up. It was a little surprising because she, who was only as big as a palm before, was now a perfect-sized human being. She was a very attractive young woman, but why did she still look fierce?

“Long time no see, Rose. Your wish has come true.”

“Evan, you know that my factors were mixed when I signed the soul contract with Bernard!”

“Uh, yeah.”

Rose explained while ignoring Evan’s greeting.

“It also led to his daughter, Eir, who was able to handle magic from birth. In other words, she is the daughter of Bernard and Illoin, and at the same time, she is my daughter! Eir is the new princess of the Mahwa tribe!”

“She doesn’t belong to the Mahwa tribe!”

This must have been the case for a long time, and Illoin then shouted in a fit of anger.

It was natural to get angry when someone else claimed to be the mother over her precious daughter begotten by her and Bernard. But Rose, who had yet to shake off all the twisted ways of thinking of the Mahwa, had no intention of understanding the sensibility of that happening.

“Isn’t it okay to have the same husband? Eir is my daughter, too!”

“You’re such a…!”

Illoin and Rose began to fight on the spot. However, her daughter, Eir, seemed to be used to this kind of thing and was just clapping with a happy expression.

Looking at that unusual temperament, Evan looked blank, saying, “Maybe Rose isn’t wrong,” and Bernard sighed, took Eir from Illoin, and hugged her.

“Well, that’s what you see. It’s been rough as we expected.”

“I can see…”

“So, what about my daughter? Isn’t she pretty? If she grows up like this, she will be the beauty of the world.”

“Yes, she is very pretty. You deserve to say that every time you write.”

Eir smiled broadly, hearing Evan’s praise. Her ears were very sharp, befitting an elf. Evan patted the ear carefully and told Bernard.

“So, Grandpa, I’m sorry it’s as soon as you got here, but I’d like to talk to you about something.”

“If you’re talking about Mirole, it won’t do you any good.”

Before Evan could bring up the details, Bernard, who suddenly went straight to the point, shook his head relentlessly, cutting his words.

“All the elves in the forest stepped up and tried, but it didn’t work.”

“…Ah.”

A sigh came out of Evan’s mouth. In fact, it was something that was expected to be done. There was no way she could get out of the forest as a high elf. He was sure all the other elves already knew about her behavior.historical

Bernard looked at Evan with strange eyes and said, “Evan, have you ever been to an ancient forest without my knowledge? Or have you ever had contact with her by any other means?”

“That can’t be true. It’s my first time meeting her, too.”

“Then why is she so interested in you?”

“I do not know…”

That was what Evan wanted to ask. But just as he opened his mouth, there was a fresh night breeze on the spot. Feeling the spirit contained in it, Evan hushed down. Before they knew it, the Eternal Elves’ princess appeared in front of their eyes.

“I can’t explain everything right now.”

She spoke with an open mouth. Perhaps she was aware of the story that came and went here.

Even the world’s best alchemist was defeated with her eyes, so she turned to Evan, who admired her as a high elf, and made a serious expression again.

“But I must somehow join your Knights. As you’ve heard from them, it’s already over with the forest elves.”

“Do you mean that if I accept you, the princess of the Elves, as a member of the Knights, there will be no problem?”

“Yes.”

Mirole went on, affirming what he said without hesitation. “I will tell you everything one day. So, can’t you just accept it now?”

“…All right, then.”

“Come on.”

At that point, Evan nodded softly, and Mirole blinked her eyes to see if he was surprised.

But in fact, Evan was the one who wouldn’t budge… The elf was well aware that there was no reason not to accept her as a knight with strong ability and reliability if she had no room for conflict with the elves.

‘It just bothered me that she was doing something that she wouldn’t do as the Yo-Ma Great War Zero’s protagonist.… it was true that it had been like that for a long time, and I realized that the world was not a game. Everything is so strange now…’

She said she would explain it someday, so Evan decided to accept it for now.

“I believe what you said.”

“…Thank you. I believed you’d accept it, but I was a little nervous.”

Mirole nodded at Evan’s words with a calm and non-steady expression. Next to him, Illoin and Bernard looked at him with all sorts of strange faces.

“Mirole, I can’t believe you’re so obsessed with human speech…”

“I had a rough idea since you ran out of the woods to meet Evan.”

“Is there one more reason she’s chasing men? I don’t know why everyone’s been talking about such obvious things.”

Rose, meanwhile, stood one step away from the skirmishes in the middle of the night, laughing, and pulled the arm of little Elf Eir, who was just sitting there, not knowing what exactly was going on.

“Baby, it’s windy, so let’s go inside first.”

“Yup!”

“No, wait, Rose. What else can we do here?”

“Excuse me first, Ms. Mirole. Evan, we look forward to your hospitality tomorrow.”

“Oh, Grandpa! Illoin!”

Bernard and Illoin took the opportunity and fled the scene!

Evan, who was left alone with the high elf, turned his head around because she was still looking at him but eventually gave up everything and faced her.

“Then, please take good care of me as your leader, Mirole.”

“Since you’re the leader, please speak informally to me from now on.”

“Oh, well, if you’re not going to advertise yourself as a high elf, then you should change the title.”

“…”

At Evan’s remarks, Mirole looked a little displeased, but he pretended not to notice and continued.

“Mirole, due to your abilities, we have to appoint you to a competent position, different from what we give regular people. But since you are new, I have no choice but to appoint you as an apprentice, is that okay?”

“Yes, I don’t care about that.”

‘I knew it. Who would be interested in pitching after abandoning their position as the head of the elves?’ Evan continued with a bitter smile.

“You can’t really do an apprenticeship, so you will be with the senior group on the pretext of intensive education based on ability. The senior team is…”

“I know. I wasn’t just playing for two days. I’ve been studying where I’ll be staying.”

Evan held back a sarcastic retort.

The high elf, who had lived for many years, shouldn’t be corrected in such a manner.

“The senior team is working with the leader.”

“Yes, you’ll be with me when you enter the dungeon. Just in case you’ve been in the dungeon…”

“No. It’s exciting to explore the dungeon together.”

Evan had no talent for reading people’s minds, but at least on the surface, she seemed very happy now.

Evan became increasingly confused by her appearance, and he uttered a word because he could not resist the urge.

“Have you ever loved anyone?”

“Yes.”

The high elf affirmed. This must have been a telling situation. When Evan heard it, he hesitated for a moment and followed up.

“Are you still in love with him?”

“Yes.”

She affirmed again.

“For me, love is only one person. Whether it be the past, the future, or the present.”

“…Is that so?”

As soon as he heard her answer, Evan put down all his worries and worries neatly. Yeah, that was enough.

As expected, she didn’t change. She was the eternal princess/protagonist of the Yo-Ma Great War Zero. He reached out to Mirole with a brighter look.

“Then, Mirole, look after your Knight Commander well from now on. I think we can be good friends.”

“Huh. Well, that’s true.”

When Mirole heard Evan, she smiled a subtle smile and gently grabbed his hand, carefully as if to hold on to the glass that seemed quick to break.

“Take good care of me as well, Knight Commander Evan D. Sherden.”
