"There must be a mole in the upper echelons of Synapse."
"In fact, I had a question from the beginning. Why did these guys come to trouble me? The so-called mission was a bit too trifling."
"Humph, I guess this is the plan of the inner demon."
"She's not looking for me, but the elves... This guy wants to stir up a conflict between the elves and the Synapse Organization so that she can fish in troubled waters."
"And now, it seems that her goal has been achieved. The reason why the remaining forces of the Synapse Organization did not appear on the battlefield must be because they were gathered and controlled by her."
After saying this, Yakumo Yuuka said to Nishinonomiya Maiko who had not yet come to her senses:
"Who is the guy who issues the missions in your organization?"
"what!!"
Nishinomiya Maiko was suddenly startled, and then replied with lingering fear:
"Yes, it's someone from the Shijoji family... No, wait, the search and retrieval system for the mission target was made by the doctor!!"
"Besides, her wisdom gives her a considerable degree of decision-making power. It was her suggestion that I come here this time...Ah!!"
A short guy with a superhuman chest appeared in Maiko Nishinomiya's mind, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Hey, come on, you must be kidding. The doctor and I have a pretty good personal relationship, but...
But was she using me and abandoning me like this!? ?
Nishinonomiya Maiko suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. She finally understood how those people who were used as pawns by her felt.
"I see. I don't know where that guy called Doctor is hiding now. I guess I have to be more careful in the future..."
Alice narrowed her eyes. After all, although she didn't suffer any loss, she gained a lot of benefits instead.
But this is because of the strength of the alien race itself, coupled with the help of Yakumo Yuga, rather than the result of being exploited.
The Elf Princess has already made a note of this sinister and despicable guy in her heart.
Suppressing her emotions, Iris put a cherry into Yakumo Yuka's mouth and gently brushed her slender fingertips across his lips... Then, the elf princess placed her fingers on her lips and pretended to think.
Feeling the secrecy and excitement of indirect kissing, even though she disguised it well, a faint blush still appeared on her face.
"Ailisi, why don't you go meet the head of the Shigong family? He seems to have been waiting for a while."
Facing Yakumo Yuka's question, Iris suppressed her restlessness and desire and responded gently:
"It's okay. That gentleman won't complain no matter how long he waits... Because only after our approval can the Shinomiya family legitimately inherit the Shijo Teramoto family's legacy."
"Although the Shinomiya family has amazing financial resources, they do not have their own inner world power. Although they have eaten the biggest piece of the pie, they are definitely not the winner."
"The real winner of this fight is you, Yakumo-kun~~"
Alice smiled playfully.
"You have controlled four of the most powerful esper forces and a strategic intelligence officer, and demonstrated your overwhelming strength... Yakumo-kun, now the world behind the Alien Zone has begun to sing your name as the King of Shadows."
"Just like before a lion opens its mouth, jackals and vultures all have to wait. Only you, as the absolute winner, are qualified to share the spoils~"
Even if an extraordinary person lives a peaceful life, when he reveals his power, in just one day, everyone who understands his power will...
Respect him, fear him, and be in awe of him!!!
"Hehe, the head of the Shinomiya family might marry you off to his only daughter... Shinomiya Kaguya~"
In this regard, Yakumo Yuka's evaluation is:
"boring."
Yakumo Yuge, who hopes to live a comfortable and peaceful life, is unwilling to get involved in these nonsense things.
His wisdom and strength are definitely enough to convince everyone, but Yakumo Yuga thinks this is a waste of his time.
I should be enjoying my youthful campus life as a high school student right now, instead of facing a bunch of hypocritical old guys arguing...
These guys are drier and smellier than the wrinkles on a turtle's neck. Yakumo Yuuka feels sick just looking at them! !
Alice smiled slightly. She had expected that Yakumo Yuga would give such a reply. He didn't care about these interests at all, but these were the things that the alien race with shallow roots urgently needed.
"Well, thank you, Yakumo-kun~"
She clasped her hands together and spoke sweetly to Yakumo Yuga.
"Good fellow, in my opinion, I should be the one to thank you. I hope you won't be bothered by those guys... If anyone is dissatisfied, tell me and I will go find him."
The two friends smiled at each other, and the Shijo Temple inheritance that had been coveted by many forces was easily decided.
Afterwards, before leaving to distribute benefits with various forces, Alice told Yakumo Yuka a piece of news.
"I have told the elders of the tribe about the demon, and they take it very seriously."
"Right now, the clan is preparing for the highest-level prophecy ceremony. In addition, the elders are also working hard to set up the highest-level defensive countermeasures. It will take at least nearly a month to complete the preparations."
A look of uneasiness flashed across Alice's face.
"The elders speculate that the demon in you is likely related to the elves' most ancient taboo..."
"Yakumo-kun, don't you feel weird?"
"As a naturally born race, why are there only women among the elves now?"
Chapter 31: Having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone
Yes, why are there only women among the elves?
Why is it that for thousands of years, every female elven man has had reproductive intercourse with other races, but why do they still maintain their pure blood?
Even though the elves are extremely powerful, why have they still maintained their independent civilization after such a long period of interaction with foreign races, instead of being swallowed up by the more tolerant humans?
"It's all because of an ancient curse."
Alice explained with a serious expression. Even when she faced the assassination attempt by the psychic before, she had never shown such an expression.
"A...long and vicious curse."
"In the ancient times when written records were almost completely lost, our elves once used all their strength to drive a demon king from the demon world out of the real universe."
"At that time, most of the male elves had died in the battle. It was the time when the elves were at their most vulnerable. I don't know how the demon king used some method to curse the elves."
"He cursed that our elves will never be able to give birth to male offspring again..."
"Also, we can obtain physical pleasure from procreation that surpasses that of any other race, but at the same time..."
"As a price, we lose the ability to fall in love, and even the strongest feelings are no more than those that do not exclude procreation."
“Perhaps the elves will show a friendly and happy attitude, but that is definitely not love.”
A shitty blessing, and, at the same time, an even shittier price was charged for it.
As soon as I heard the name Yakumo Yuga, I felt that it was very much like the dog-donkey devil in my mind. She would give you a rotten thing, and then make you pay the price, and the price was an even worse result.
Just listening quietly to Alice's slightly sad statement, Yakumo Yuga's anger was already rising in his heart.
Anger caused his jet-black hair to rise slightly, fluttering above his head like flames...
Yakumo Yuga understood the insidiousness of this curse.
It will not cause the elves to perish, but will gradually transform them into female beasts who abandon shame and dignity and pursue pleasure only.
Just as Alice said when they first met, without true feelings and responsibilities to support it, a physical relationship would be extremely fragile and empty.
The so-called "love" is the embodiment of emotion and responsibility.
If you lose the ability to generate love and blindly pursue physical pleasure, then the final result will be a lump of flesh that has lost its dignity and can only seek the addiction of desire while panting. It is not even a human being! !
The demon king hoped that the elves, whom she hated so much, would eventually turn into something dirtier than rotten frog eggs!
Seeing Yakumo Yuka's furious look, Iris smiled and explained in a calm tone:
"Don't underestimate us elves..."
"After learning the true nature of the demon king's curse, our elves immediately began to research countermeasures."
"Although they still have reproductive intercourse with men from other tribes, in order to avoid sinking into desire, the tribe members will return to their tribe before they themselves fall."
"They will bring back precious and powerful seeds, study and multiply them through magic, and then try to artificially breed the remaining members of the tribe."
"Although the success rate is very low, fortunately our life span is long enough and there have been many successful cases."
"In the years that followed, most elves lived a life of abstinence. They spent their entire lives adhering to the bottom line of chastity and willpower, not allowing the evil curse any opportunity to take advantage of them."
"Sometimes, when tribesmen are defeated in battle and captured, they will even commit suicide before facing humiliation. They would rather die to defend their dignity than fall into the abyss of desire!!"
"But what's regrettable is that... after so many years, the curse has shown no signs of fading, but has become even deeper."
"In the past one or two hundred years, the tribesmen have shown abnormal symptoms of restlessness, which is like the torment of female animals in estrus... Under such circumstances, the success rate of artificial insemination has become increasingly low."
"Plus, the alien world we live in has just experienced a turmoil, and the number of our people has been greatly reduced, so..."
"In order to prevent the tribe from completely dying out, the tribe decided to re-promote the interspecies reproductive exchange program, and I should be the first to set an example for everyone."
"In order to avoid being annexed by foreign races and losing the initiative, we decided to choose men from your world as the objects of reproductive exchange."
"And according to the elders' prophecy, Yakumo-kun, you are my destined person..."
"Although our physical condition has no chance of recovery, at least your appearance gives us hope of love!!"
That's just how I am... Alice didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Listening to Iris's calm narration, the secrets that the elves had hidden for so long were revealed to him, and Yakumo Yuge couldn't help but admire in his heart:
What a noble race!!!
He also understood why the reputation of the elves was slandered and why some people always looked at them with prejudice.
That's because no matter how careful you are, there are always some unfortunate victims who fall into the abyss of desire, which tarnishes the noble image of the elves.
This demon king...
Damn it!!!!
Yakumo Yuge couldn't help but clench his fists. Those fists that were harder than steel were intimidating.
But the next second, Alice, with a gentle smile, touched Yakumo Yuka's fist with her small hand... and then pulled the heavy hand to her heart.
Her azure eyes became distant, shining with a moving light.
"I wanted to be a good role model for my people and become the first candidate for assisted reproductive communication... I was actually very scared at first, but as a princess, I absolutely cannot shirk my responsibilities."
"Yakumo-kun...after spending time with you, that fear has completely disappeared."
"A new responsibility has been placed on my heart."
Iris whispered to Yakumo Yuka:
"Because... this curse was broken on me~"
"Can you feel my heart beating faster in your palms? This means I am in a dangerous state of agitation."
The elf princess would never show her weakness to anyone, but now, she told Yakumo Yuga exactly about her situation.
"But I was able to suppress the restlessness in my heart. This was not because of my modesty as a princess, but... another kind of responsibility."
She looked straight at Yakumo Yuka, her eyes had never been so profound and charming...
"Can you feel it, Yongge? The emotion brewing in my heart... the responsibility born from this emotion."
Because of this feeling, Alice was unwilling to make a hasty decision.
Because of this relationship, she needs to be responsible for her future husband, Yakumo Yuga.
What on earth is this!!!
It’s love!!!
Such a powerful combination of punches, a sad and noble race, the hope and sad wish of the ethnic group, heavy responsibilities, a heart open only to one person, pure love, pure and noble body and spirit, and the determination to be responsible for love...
It's just so fucking powerful!
What else can stop such a sincere message? !
Neither the heavens nor the gods can do it, not even the fucking fate can do it!!
Even Yakumo Yuka's iron-hard will could not withstand the woman's fatal blow, and her heart began to beat violently! !
