Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 188.4

I see, so it was as a result of seeking help from a higher being, that the Iron Elves were changed from their reddish-bronze skin to black.

But they were not changed out of malice, nor were they deceived. Spirits were beings with values different from ours. Perhaps the price was not relevant enough to the spirits to communicate beforehand.

As a result, the Iron Elves were saved, but I wonder how much they had to sacrifice for that to happen, and it seems that from that day on, all the Iron Elves in the world became [Dark Elves], and for that reason, the Dark Elves of this Sarth Continent were also declared “evil” by the Holy Church that came from a different continent.

According to the teachings of the Holy Church, Dark Elves have dark skin because they sold their souls to the evil gods, which may not be far from the truth, but the decision to declare the Dark Elves evil was probably due to the political agenda of the humans.

[–The first person I met as the spirit of this dungeon was the first king of the Dark Elves, who had been driven away by humans and had drifted to this land. But that one did not ask for my [blessing], but for the survival of his race–]

Did that person have a hair like mine… I remembered and touched my peach-blonde hair with my fingers, and I felt it nodding in agreement.

[–Left, but that wish is vague and cannot grant the boon of a clan such as yours. Therefore, I have granted the wishes of Dark Elf and those associated with it when they have reached the lowest level. However, this time, there is no “wish” for those who have reached the bottom, and I have summoned those with strong wishes to fulfill our contract.]

There must have been others who reached the destination unnoticed, besides the first Demon King. But because that guy didn’t have a wish, we were called instead…

It was an ambiguous selection, but it would appear that the spirit believed that it had fulfilled its “promise” to the first Demon King, which would explain why Doehill and Charlemagne were called in as well. They were the heads of their clans and had reason to wish for the survival of their people.

The reason why their subordinates were not called was because of a difference in will to wish, or because they were more concerned with winning? But even so, that was no reason for me, who had no wish, to be called.

[–Even though the dark fairies were fighting so much, there were several who had the same wish. For the sake of that wish, “you,” child of man, was necessary–]

“…What?”

Was it “someone’s” wish to do something about Demon King? 

[When that person “lived”, several “wishes” were fulfilled. But with the fulfillment of that wish, one wish disappeared, and a smaller wish grew stronger. The Dark Fairy wants you to exist.]

“Seeking me? Is there someone who wants to end this with me? “

Who was it? Was it Elgrim, who had been chasing master’s shadow? Or Aishe? 

“–!”

Suddenly, I felt a distortion of space behind me, and I turned around with my knife at the ready.

Someone was about to be summoned to this place. The person who appeared in front of me, who was ready and waiting to attack immediately, was–

“…Ah, Aria?”

Looking around confused, the person who spotted me and called out my name was Camille, who had split off at the upper level of the dungeon and was supposed to be on her way to the lowest level.
