No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan - Chapter 72

Since Elemia wanted to talk, I made some time for her at dusk.

We could climb easily thanks to our physical ability.
Elemia stood alone on the rooftop, her hair glittering from the twilight sun.

Pipe Did you bring it?

Yes

Elemia told me that she wanted a pipe for her birthday gift.

Before we started our talk, Elemia taught me how to play the pipe.

Elemia taught me a simple song to help me learn.
She praised me for being good.

Before sunset, Elemia-senseis lecture on pipe blowing was over.
We ended up with silence on the roof.

etto, shall we start talking?

Hearing her words, I responded.

Before that, I have something to tell you

I waited for Elemia to give a nod.

I had asked Alfred-tousan to adopt you.
You are an important companion, thats why I want you to be part of my family

eh

Elemia shook herself in disbelief and covered her mouth with her hands.

Then she finally took a deep breath and said.

uuuOroch- Edgar, you are way too aggresive

Is it no good?

Looking at her condition, I thought that Elemia could be a member of family and my head suddenly went cold.

Ano nee As expected, I should speak my part first Actually, I cant accept Edgars invitation for now

I really wanted to hit my head to a nearest wall. (TL: finding some English equivalent for it)
I, maybe Elemia hated me?

Elemia noticed my complexion and said quickly.

U-uun!! Its not like I hate you!
Its just something to do with my own feeling

Your feeling?

I was brainwashed by Yatagarasu and killed people

That is-

Its better to say I got tricked, right? Edgar, you had been saying this to everyone. If you didnt, everyone will feel horrible about what they did

Im not doing it to make you feel better.
Its the truth. The one who tricked you is bad

Un, that is true, but I think that I couldnt be forgiven even though I was deceived. Isnt that weird? I think its convenient for Yatagarasu to play with our remorse, to think about how easily they control our remorse. Therefore, I will always stay as victim of Yatagarasu. No, in fact that I want to deny it so much but right now, I dont think I can be in a relationship with you without giving you anything back. I am very happy that Edgar wants me to be a part of your family, but for now, I cant forgive myself yet

Elemia stared at an empty space with a gentle smile.

I couldnt stand it anymore, so I stripped down and kissed her lips.

Thats why I will return to the Darkwood Forest.

I have to do that I cant stand next to you and being helped all the time

I see

Her eyes showed determination and resolve.

But, arent both of your parents gone?
Do you have anyone to live with in the forest?

I dont think so I was a shrine maiden when I was kidnapped, I will go back to whatever remains.

I cant explain in detail, but a shrine maiden is important for dark elves

Are you going to work after all that?

There can be only 1 person in the depth.

I was afraid of it.

Running away from my duty and escaping my own sin, I wont be able to forgive myself.
Thats why, I will face the darkness this time. I need to face it and prove myself. Im not my previous weak self anymore

I slid my penis inside her. She squirmed a bit but YOU SICK FUCK STOP STEALING MY TRANSLATIONS

The training sounds harsher than I imagined.
Its not easy to tell her that she was mentally unstable, but I could understand her determination.

Elemia wanted to start over and fixed her mistakes.
She wanted to get out of the wrong and walk towards what she think is right.

I couldnt help but thinking that she was in the Wrong place, letting Elemia live in seclusion. For Elemias sake, should I smile and send her off? What should I do?

But still, I was not convinced.

Why?

Elemias face. Her expression.
She said that she was fine. But in reality, she was on verge of crying. It was a face trying hard to keep the pain inside.

Thats right. This girl was still a child.
Girls that age wanted to be pampered and loved by their parents.

Can a child on that age be able to live alone in a forest?

No, even if they could, I couldnt let her do it.
If she insist on doing going alone, I will pursue her myself.

This child is too pure. And that purity stabbed my heart like a sharpened blade.
Thats why Elemia, who grew up without being treated by adults, didnt know how to control her feeling.

She couldnt be openly defiant, nor was she able to trick herself and those around her by coming up with an excuse to protect herself.

She was a girl who grew up for the sake of killing.

Dont let her go.

I think what you are saying is right

Since adults forcibly force children at their own convenience, I think that Elemia would have escaped to defend yourself. Especially since its a painful practice that a small child would want to run away. But, no one can stand being alone.

I dont know about the dark elves in the Darkwood Forest, but executives of Yatagarasu tried incorporating the childrens guilt for their own merit.
If you are in pain, then escape. You dont have to do anything amazing, because we humans deserve to be happy

But right now I cant forgive myself I dont have the right to stand next to you

You dont need a right to stand next to anyone.

Serious, quick thinker, chasing down targets with extreme persistence, thats the Elemia that I like.
It has nothing to do with your training or sin

Tha-that is

On the other hand, how about Elemia train here and come back home later?

If you want to stand next to me, you can do it now. Maybe you will feel a bit inferior, but everyone always feel weak when compared to someone else, right?
If we spend time together, you will find out that you can do everything. Its impossible if you go so far away

That That might be true but-

Wasnt the goal is going alone and doing harsh training then coming back to us?

Iya, lets stay together.

There are many things that you can learn back in the depth of Darkwood Forest, but if you compare what you get by training alone and living together with us, I think what you get by living with us is way more precious. Isnt that right?

Something we get by living together?

Im not someone who can say great thing, but right now you are trying to punish yourself. Not being able to stand next to me is an excuse

It-its not an excuse!!

Elemia raised her voice.

But I think its necessary.

Elemia was trying to choose the hard path and didnt care even if she suffers.
Even so, can Elemia be happy?

I always said that Elemia is innocent. Its the Yatagarasu executives who were at fault

But

It feels hard to be deceived like that. They had become a deep part of your heart and taking advantage of your mind.

But, they are using your feeling. Im sorry for the evil god, using guilt to remove the feeling of sin.

You should do the opposite, Elemia should forgive yourself.

Elemia, you must stay by my side.

Let Dad and Mom give you a chance to forgive yourself

I am want to be on your side

Tears overflow from her eyes.

Thats right I Should forgive myself
No I will forgive myself

Elemia laughed while crying.

Fufu Its strange.

I was trying to compensate my sins by making it hard for myself

Even though I said it so many times, Elemia is innocent.
The bad ones are the Yatagarasuwho brainwash children into assassins

That Even so,
the person we killed wont come back. We need to reflect on it so it wont happened again. There is no excuse

As long as it dont weigh you down, I think its fine.
But from now on, we are here. Theres no need to hold your feelings alone

un!

That lecture was not like me.
My heart beat like crazy. Lets change the topic.

Thank god, thank god.
I have something I always want to do with Elemia

Something you always want to do?

Un. Skill farming!(TL: The raw said Skill raising. Anyway, did he just asked a 7 years old girl to a grind-fest for a date?)

S-skill farming?

Elemia has Fatigue Transference, but it has no effect on me

uun. I dont know why but it looks like it

I revealed No Fatigue to Elemia.

Not getting tired and not getting sleepy? I-its a way better skill than my Fatigue Transference!!!

I think its depended on how you use it. Elemias Fatigue Transference can tire your enemies, but my No Fatigue has no such effect

But Fatigue Transference doesnt activate unless theres someone that it can spread on. I can get tired if I am alone. And I cant stay asleep because I dont get tired easily.
And last, Fatigue Transference doesnt discriminate friend or foe. So if you stay with me, fatigue will spread to our allies

That was the reason Elemia kept people away.

Anyway, if you stay with me, Elemia wont get tired and I wont get tired right?
Thats why Elemia can repeat simple work with me and quickly raise our skill

E-en, if its a continuous simple work then

Elemia muttered and her face got pale.

By the way, I had verified that my No Fatigue and Elemias Fatigue Transference will interfere each other back in the crows nest.

An ability to not get tired and transfer fatigue.

There are 3 possible outcome.

1. Fatigue Transference doesnt work on the owner of No Fatigue (The fatigue didnt transfer in the first place)

3. The fatigue transfers to the owner of No Fatigue but the effect is canceled (The fatigue transfers but then disappears)

Case 1: Elemia tires. Case 2: I tire. Case 3: Both of us not tire.

Its the best result for both of us.

In other words, as long as Elemia is close with me, she wont get tired.

After my passionate speech, Elemias face looked irritated.
She pointed at me and spoke.

nee, Edgar. You were talking about You dont need qualification to stand next to me and so As expected, you were only after my skill

N-n-no! Its ridiculous!! Thi- ummm etto actually

Elemia laughed looking at my desperate attempt to make excuses.

I know. Edgar wouldnt look at me only because of my skill (TL: English is hard. can someone paraphrase it for me?)

A delicate way of stabbing someone with words, I had a cold sweat.

Was it half-skill and half-me? I hope my ratio is bigger than half

Only half of you is unthinkable!
Even without Fatigue Transference, Elemia is Elemia

Jaa, I dont need to do skill raising with you?

uu iya, that is, I want Elemia to help raising the skills to increase our overall strength so I really wish for Elemias cooperation

I panicked and she laughed even more.

Fufu. Im kidding Im kidding. Personally, I also want to be stronger

O-okay thats good

I let out a sigh and Elemia was smiling while watching me.
I asked for her consent to use Appraisal on her.

Blessing of Darkwood Forest(Medium compensation to the acquisition of Skills (including magic) related to sensing presence and concealment )

Her skill level were rising as a whole due to the training back in Yatagarasu and the battle with the fire drake, but her level had not because we didnt defeat the drakes.

Even among the boys group, Miguel, Beck, and Donna who has a solid battle style, Elemias status was really irregular.
The reason was other than having excellent aptitude for reconnaissance, Elemia was good at battle involving magic rather than simple close combat.

But the most important.

Does Shrine Maiden of Darkwood Forest is considered magic related title?

Magic related title?

I explained the maximum MP extension method which can only be used when having titles related to magic.

The question is whether the Shrine Maiden of Darkwood Forest falls under the magic related title.

I couldnt ask her to sleep now, so I must ask Elemia to use up her MP before going to bed tonight.

Do you know your aptitude?

Un, I went to a temple once to look at it

According to it, Elemias aptitude was as follows.

A: Close Combat (Dagger, Knife), Throwing, Perception, Light

C: Earth, Water, Wind, Spear
Z: Spirit

By the way, I havent heard anything about lightning attribute since its rare.

If I have the opportunity, Id like to experience aptitude diagnosis for minor aptitudes. Specifically, Id like to grasp the usefulness of Lightning Magic and its suitability for guns.

Whats the soul skill?

Necromancy, to summon a demon or something similar. Some dark elves from Darkwood Forest can use them

Your magic is good, but the aptitude for 4 standard attribute is not good

As a shrine maiden, we had been assimilated into darkness and trained to blend.
No, its because of our aptitude that we were chosen as shrine maidens

I want to make the best use of you magical aptitude, is there any passive way to use it?
How about trying Lightning Magic?

Is it the same as Light Magic or is it something harder?

Its between A and B, maybe B+?

I think paralyzing thunder matches Elemias battle style. If you remember Steel Thread Techniques, you can also use it on the steel.

Im looking forward it

Putting me aside, I couldnt bear to grin at her future, Elemia who has the potential to forcefully level her skills.

fufu. un, Im looking forward it

With the sky changing from orange to deep blue, Elemia was smiling with a soft smile.
