The Elf Girl Who Missed Me
Translated by Omkar

Hagel Oys, the grand thief who for two years pretended to be a friendly and kind priest.
He tried to kill me, but instead I killed him.
And it was a little elf girl who appeared at the scene.
In all likelihood, he is guilty of murdering the priest.
“Actually, the priest was a big bad guy and tried to kill me, so I did it back.”
I’m not sure what excuse will work. Probably not. At least, not right away.
As I looked at the trembling elf girl, I had a thought.
Let’s go back in time a little.
It was my fifteenth birthday, and I arrived at the church in town in high spirits.
I’m a lonely person.
Once I’ve got the unique skills I can use, I can say goodbye to this small town.
I’m going to get a job and become a wealthy man! (I’m not saying I’m wealthy, I’m being modest.)
So, I went to the church in the center of town.
“Mel-kun!”
“Oh, geez.”
A small figure called out my name and rammed into my stomach.
I endured the feeling of vomiting and pulled the little one off me.
A pair of beady eyes look up at me.
Her long, silvery hair slipped through my fingers.
She was only about ten years old, with an innocent face.
The lovely girl who looks like a moving doll is the elf Sylphina.
“Hey, you’re full of energy today, Sylphy. ……
“Mel told me to always be cheerful,” she said.
“Oh, yes. You’re a smart girl.”
I patted her head, and she leaned in closer, as if to say, “Do it more.”
She is an orphan.
She was brought to this church by a priest about a year ago.
She has lost her memory, and all we know about her is her name and approximate age.
“Mel, what can I do for you today? When will you be done? Can we play afterwards?
Sylphy asked me a series of questions. It was hard to say no when she looked at me with her sparkling eyes.
“Well, I’m glad you asked. I’m actually going to perform the Blessing Ceremony today. Let’s play afterwards.”
“Oh” Sylphy’s eyes lit up.
“You’re going to be an adult, right?”
“…… There are many ways to interpret ‘adult,’ but I guess you could consider it one of them.”
What else do I have to do to become a man?
“Huh? What else do I have to do to become an adult? – Well, there’s…… a lot of things, a lot of things.”
I could only answer vaguely.
“Oh? It’s Mel. You’re still here, aren’t you?”
A lanky man came out of the church.
It was Mr. Lowe, who lived in the house and did chores.
He looks like a laid-back gentleman, but it seems he used to be quite naughty. I heard that he had mellowed a lot at the priest’s place.
He was tapping his hip, as if he was carrying something heavy.
“Father’s waiting for you. Come on, let’s go.”
“Oh, yes. I’m sorry. See you later, Sylphy. I’m off.”
“Good luck”
Sylphy sent me off with more enthusiasm than I could muster.
That’s why.
The elf girl who appeared at the scene of the priest’s murder, Sylphina, is very fond of me.
In fact, there was a chance that she would be able to accept the usually unacceptable excuse, “Actually, the priest was a big villain and tried to kill me, so I did it back.”
“Sylphy, listen to me. This is …… this priest…? What?”
I interrupted my conversation and pulled the knife out of Hegel’s chest.
I immediately lunged for the door.
“…… huh?
With frightened eyes, Sylphy looks at me as I close in on her.
I held out the tip of my knife – pointing it behind her.
“Shit! Mel, you!
Rowe was there.
Let’s get the situation straight.
First of all, why did Sylphy come to this secluded place in the first place?
She wanted to know the result of my “blessing ceremony” as soon as possible, so she was wandering around near the room. That’s when she heard the priest calling for Rowe, so she went to call him and brought him to me.
That’s all I knew from reading Sylphy’s status
And now, Rowe’s action.
He was a scullery maid at the church, came up behind Sylphy and immediately tried to attack her as soon as he learned about the situation in the room, just like her. I saw in the appraisal that he intended to use Sylphina as a hostage to block my movement.
And this guy–
＝＝＝＝＝
Name: Rowe Barry
Title: Servant of the Grand Thief
＝＝＝＝＝
“You’re one of Hegel’s guys……”
I held up my knife as if I were protecting Sylphy.
“Huh, Did you get that information from Master Hagel? I’m not sure why I’m being attacked by this kid. I guess I was too careless.”
Rowe took a jump back position and set up in the middle.
I’m checked his condition with “Appraisal”.
＝＝＝＝＝
[Status]
I can’t give it my all because of my back pain.
It is unpredictable what method did Mel Lylute used to kill Hagel Oys.
Be wary of the unique skills you may have just acquired. While attracting attention through conversation, take Sylphina hostage.
＝＝＝＝＝
You’re still going after Sylphy.
The blood rushed to my head and I attacked him myself.
Rowe does not have any limited skills. His unique skills are “Physical Arts” and “Monstrous Strength”. I read his skills and stole them.
In response to my lunge, I anticipated his plan to “check with his jab and move around to the right” and ducked under Lowe’s fist to hit him.
I hit his aching back with my shoulder as hard as I could.
“Fuck!”
Rowe let out a deranged cry and collapsed on the spot. He held his waist and struggled to his feet.
“Guu… hey!”
He gasped in pain and stared at me with a terrible expression.
“I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you and Sylphina!”
That’s not good. When you’re dealing with a guy who wants to kill you this badly, no matter how much you can anticipate his actions, there’s always a chance of worst case scenario.
Knowing the risks, I still kicked Rowe in the waist.
One kick, “Gah!” The second kick was “holy shit”, the third kick was “stop ……”, and the fourth kick, Rowe turned pale and blew bubbles.
I had no choice. This guy was trying to “shout and call someone.”
For now, let’s leave this place before anyone else comes. We’ll figure out what to do when we get settled. ……
And then my sleeve was tugged at.
Sylphy is looking up at me with frightened eyes.
That’s right. I’m not leaving her.
From my conversation with Rowe, She found out that the priest was Hegel, the great thief. If I leave her here, I don’t know what Rowe will do to her when he regains consciousness. No, I’m sure he’ll kill Sylphy. He’ll probably kill her to keep her mouth shut.
Sylphy’s a smart girl. From the conversation between me and Rowe and the situation, I think she understands most of it.
In fact, she’s pleading with me to take her with me.
Besides, this girl……
Come on, Sylphy.
I took her hand in mine.
We left the church and went around to the back.
We took the wagon and ran out of town.
I went back to my house (a house on the outskirts of town), gathered up what money I had, clothes, blankets and food, and pushed them into the wagon.
As soon as I was done, I got on the wagon and started heading east with my back to the town.
We wanted to get as far away as possible.
I didn’t even think about scattering my pursuers, I just kept driving.
On the way, I explained the situation to Sylphy.
“Yeah, what’s ……. Yeah, right.”
That was her response. She didn’t need to read my thoughts through “appraisal” to trust me.
I was going to let the horse run all night, but it was too much for it.
When we entered the second forest, I decided to turn off the road and rest by a stream.
This area was still within my knowledge.
We can’ t get very far, can we?
We ate bread and dried meat under the starry sky.
It’s not very tasty, but to be honest, I have no idea what it tastes like.
I killed a man, didn’t I?
Even if it was a bad guy who tried to kill me,…………, yeah, you’re right. I was about to be killed. If you fight back and kill him, it’s self-defense. I’m sure you’ll agree.
I had to convince myself of that.
But it’s still …….
A small hand gently touched my hand.
“It’s not your fault, Mel.”
I felt my body lighten up. The blackness that had been weighing on my back seemed to be swept away.
“Thank you…..”
“But at the same time, I felt guilty for bringing a kind-hearted girl into this.”
“What are you going to do now, Mel?”
I looked into her blue eyes, which were shimmering with anxiety, and my made up my mind.
“Do you want to go back to your homeland, Sylphy?”
“What?”
Sylphy tilted her head dubiously.
“I have no memory of it, so I don’t miss it or feel lonely. Yes, I think I would like to see it at least once. ”
I stood up with ease.
“Okay. Let’s go then. ”
“What? I don’t know where my homeland is, even if I wanted to go there. ”
The elves are much smaller in number than the humans, but they have settlements scattered all over the world. It’s true that until now, when the only clues we had were names and ages, there was no way to find them.
“In fact, I do know a little bit about Sylphy’s background. ”
It is written in her [Title] column, which was read by the [appraisal].
“You are…..”
＝＝＝＝＝
Name: Sylphina Est Filianis
Title: First Princess of the Kingdom of Filianis
＝＝＝＝＝
“I heard you’re a princess in the land of the elves. ”
The way she blinked her eyes gave me the feeling that there was a certain elegance in the air.
