How to Survive as a Princess in a Reverse Harem Game - Chapter 237

“How much, you mean……?”

—Other races cannot learn our language.

“Cannot learn?”

—Our language is close to the voice of the spirits, and it is a child of Arbor. Those of different birth cannot learn our language.

“What does that mean……?”

—This is true not only for humans but also for other non-human races. They are not children of Arbor like us.

“But Killis communicated with you, didn’t he?”

—That’s what I’m curious about too. That human doesn’t even know how to use spirit magic.

If The Guardian’s words were true, Killis shouldn’t be able to speak the elves’ language, but…….

‘How did Killis do it?’

Beyond bewilderment, I was confused. While I couldn’t speak and merely moved my lips, The Guardian added.

—Of course, there is one. One exceptional being, but…….

“An exceptional being?”

What is it?

I waited for the Guardian’s explanation. However, he, who had acted as if he would tell me everything, suddenly fell silent.

Why won’t he tell me?

It was then, as I tilted my head in puzzlement. The Guardian shook his head.

—I’m sorry. I cannot say.

“……?”

—It seems I was mistaken. Please pay it no mind.

This can’t be. He really won’t tell me.

I was incredibly curious about the exceptional being the Guardian was about to speak of, but it seemed he wouldn’t tell me no matter how much I pressed him.

In the end, I left the temple without much gain.

“Um, Natura.”

—What is it?

“About that exceptional being The Guardian mentioned earlier. Do you know about it, Natura?”

—I don’t know either.

As I thought.

I hadn’t really expected anything, so my disappointment wasn’t great either.

It was when Natura and I came down to the village square again. Unlike before, quite a few elves were out. And Vita was there too.

—Are you returning from seeing The Guardian?

—Yes. The effect of the essence seemed to have worn off, so our words weren’t getting through, so I sprinkled some more essence.

—I see. It’s good to see you moving around. Are you fully recovered now?

“To some extent.”

My mana accumulation is still insufficient, but my physical condition is quite good…….

“But is something happening in the village?”

—Hmm? Something happening?

—Why do you think that?

“The warriors are gathered. So I thought something might be going on.”

As I spoke, looking at the elves around me, Natura nodded, understanding, and crossed his arms.

—Nothing is happening in the village itself. We’re thinking of going to the mutant Nex habitat.

“The mutant Nex habitat? Surely there aren’t more?”

—No? You wiped out all the mutant Nex. That was all of them.

“So you’re going to that burned place?”

—That’s right. There were so many individuals, we’ve been busy clearing the corpses that piled up over the past three days. Now a path has finally been cleared to investigate.

“What’s there?”

—We’re going to collect the remains of our brothers. Including the Pinus brothers and the others.

Ah……. They’re going to retrieve the bodies.

After hesitating, I cautiously opened my mouth.

“Would it be alright if I went with you?”

—Human, you?

“Is it not allowed?”

—It’s not forbidden, but…….

—Will you be alright? It won’t be a pleasant sight.

“I’ll be fine.”

I’ve already seen living Nex. Surely it won’t be more disgusting than that.

“No.”

“Killis?”

Since when had he been there?

And it wasn’t just Killis. Reno and Isaac were with him too.

“Your Highness needs more rest. Please go back and rest.”

“Well now, Duke.”

Reno retorted to Killis.

“Your Highness has already been in the room for over two days. Staying inside unconditionally isn’t necessarily the right answer.”

“Reno is right. I also worry about Your Highness’s health, but at this point, the Duke seems to be overdoing it.”

“Even you, Lord Isaac, are doing this?”

Killis protested in a trembling tone. He looked as if he had been betrayed. But it wasn’t hard to understand. Even I didn’t expect Isaac to take Reno’s side.

Hadn’t Isaac also been incredibly obsessive about my safety?

“Your Highness is saying you want to go to the Nex habitat, and instead of stopping her…….”

“What’s the problem? It’s already a place we’ve been to.”

“What if Your Highness gets sick in the middle, or something happens?”

“It’s a place where the extermination is already over, isn’t it? And if Your Highness gets sick, we’ll just come back quickly.”
