Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 188.3

I heard a loud buzzing sound in my ears, and the knife bounced off in the dark space.

“…Again.”

I found myself in a place covered with white fog this time.

What was the reason for sending me to that man and then suddenly transferring me somewhere else after?

[It’s because I have a wish.]

I was about to throw the knife at the voice, neither male nor female, that came from the area where my knife had been thrown, but I stopped myself.

It was useless anyway…. I knew of this “presence” that could even read my mind.

“…the Dungeon Spirit…”

[–You children of man call me so–]

When we met before, it was vague figure, but now I could recognize the difference in power. If this voice was the usual dungeon spirit, I could guess to some extent what it meant when it called us… but…

“I have no wish to be granted.”

A dungeon spirit usually did not make an appearance to those who had no wishes. When I put that into words, the spirit gave me a nod…or rather, an image.

[–You must be the one. Our beloved [Melrose, the Moon Rose]…the child of human with hair of the same color as yours. I can feel strong wishes from you, but you do not rely on the power of others. Like that dark-haired girl who arrived at the lowest level–]

“…”

So she also reached the lowest level…

“Then why did you call me? What did you want me to do by sending me to him… the [Demon King]?”

Perhaps that man was the Demon King who was Camille’s father and who was said to be on the verge of death. However, as I had not even reached the lowest level, there was no reason for me to be summoned. If the spirit could read my mind, it would know that I have no apparent desire. But this spirit did not even call me here directly, instead sending me to the place where the Demon King was.

[–Human Child. To answer your question, you must first know about the Dark Fairies–]

“Dark fairies… you mean the Dark Elves?”

[–They were not called so before. For now, please listen to an Ancient history of the people of this world, and their current affliction that started thousands of years ago, when a king wished–]

The spirit started speaking in a way that even I, a human, could understand.

Originally, there were no beings called [Dark Elf] in this world. What existed were the white-skinned “Forest Elves” who lived in the forests and the reddish-bronze-skinned “Iron Elves” who lived deep in the mountains.

In contrast to the forest elves, the Iron Elves, who obtained iron from the mines in the mountains, were good with fire, and they were as skilled as the rock dwarves in making magic iron weapons and actively communicating with humanity.

However, minerals were needed not only by the iron elves but also by the humans and dwarves. However, the humans and dwarves, were afraid of a monopoly due to the strength of the iron elves, that even involved the beastmen, who also wanted inexpensive iron products, and came into conflict with the iron elves.

The iron elves were gradually driven into a corner, and the King of that time asked a high-ranking being to save them.

[I did not know if it was really a spirit or not, nor do I know what kind of contract was made. But as a result, the iron fairies were spared from destruction, but in return, their skin color was changed to “black” like darkness.]
