Chapter 35
I had never thought of myself, as pitiable .
However, the adults around me said that I was a pitiable child .
I wonder what pitiable means .
Was being pitiable, something the adults around me decide on .
Or, was it a something that I can decide on .
Was it pitiable that my hair was white .
Was it pitiable that my eyes were red .
Was it pitiable that my younger sister was the one who’s exceptional . .
I, don’t understand anymore .
Certainly, my younger sister had beautiful hair and eyes, and was extremely strong .
Everything, had always been taken by my younger sister .
My parents, friends, and my fiance who whispered words of love to me should’ve been my allies .
Before I knew it, the entire tribe was on my younger sister’s side, and for some reason, it was said that I tormented my younger sister .
My younger sister cried in front of everyone, and she fervently talked about how cruel I was .
The tribe, everyone, was on my younger sister’s side .
And, I had been exiled from elven territory, and was forced to separate from the sacred tree .
n.o.body, believed in my words .
I too, did not believe in anyone .
After that, I left ‘Forest’, and I think I drifted to the humans’ continent ‘Continent’ .
While I was in confusion in a forest that I didn’t know, I was eaten by a muddy monster that looked like a black slime .
I was resigned to my death .
Or rather, I thought that I was dead .
The next time I woke up, I was inside of a human dungeon .
If I remember correctly, was the name Continent Dungeon,
A somewhat plain, black haired man gave me food .
I was wondering if that monster that looked like a slime was a reconfigured slime subspecies that the kidnappers that had been making trouble in elven territory recently had released in order to capture elves .
There were two reasons .
The first was that, just before I was eaten, although weak, I had sensed the presence of a human .
In addition to that, it did not seem to be one or two of them .
The village was probably nearby .
If that monster was a man-eating carnivore, it should’ve been better to attack the village, and not me who was by myself .
Even if it would be, more or less, a hard fight, that slime should’ve been able to at least prey upon the villagers that had non-combative occupations .
Even if, an adventurer happened to be there, if it wasn’t a considerably powerful person, if it’s that slime, it would be able to turn the tables on them .
The second reason was the fact that it was, for some reason, in the Continent Dungeon .
In addition to that, it was in a lower floor that was inappropriate for its own strength .
The dungeon monsters fundamentally did not leave their own floor .
There was an exception once every few years .
It was when the monsters overflowed from the dungeon .
At that time, the scrambling monsters move toward the upper floors and come out onto the surface .
The hypothesis that I could come up with from this was that, after capturing me, it would return after taking another person .
Based on how big its body was, it had the capacity to hold at least one more person, and that pseudo-slime that was following someone’s orders was, as a matter of fact, not part of the elven race, and if it were looking to capture a target who had high levels of magic power on par with the demons, the man in front of me who had pretty high levels of magic power, fit that requirement .
Even if I was right, I didn’t know why the kidnapper who did not go after the elves released the monster in the human continent though… .
I thought that perhaps this man knew the reason, I used the Eye of the World that all the elves hated because it saw through anything and everything, and looked at the man’s status .

For a short while, I was at a loss for words .
It was obviously, strange .
It was far stronger than the status of my sister who had the highest rank within the Adventurer Guild, the gold rank .
Just speaking of his offensive ability, it surpa.s.sed the previous demon lord .
Despite this, his presence, in some respects, was thin .
Strong people had something like a unique presence, but I couldn’t feel it from this man .
When I stared at him, the mysterious man stared back at me, so for the time being, I screamed so that it wouldn’t raise suspicions .
Perhaps it had been hard on my throat that had not taken in food nor water in quite a long time, when I screamed for a bit, it started getting hoa.r.s.e .
Knowingly or unknowingly, he presented roasted monster meat and bread to me .
Immediately after that, my stomach growled .
It was improper, but I s.n.a.t.c.hed them away and ate in the corner .
That was when, I met Akira . .
Giving an unfamiliar girl, one who came out of a monster on top of that, food and water, Akira didn’t avert his eyes even when he saw my face, and he didn’t make a face .
On the contrary, he said that he hated the word ‘perfect’ .
For me whom those of my own race did not believe in, those words, even if it was just that much, made me happy .

「Akira, are my hair and eyes, weird?」
Even when I asked him like that, Akira will definitely not avert his eyes .
And, he strangely answered as if it were really obvious .
「What are you saying? I still do not know of anyone who has hair and eyes that are prettier than yours . 」
Akira had yet to see my younger sister, but nevertheless, I thought, if it’s Akira… .
If it’s Akira, even if he saw my younger sister, it seems that he would be on my side .
Besides, my heart beat fast when I’m near him, and my heart jumped from nothing more than a brush of skin .
This was definitely, love .
There was no reaction even when faced with the beautiful faces of the elves from my tribe, but as soon as Akira patted my head, my cheeks turned red .
I want to, always be by Akira’s side .
No matter what happens, I will be Akira’s ally .
Even if, Akira made an enemy of the world, at the very least, I will be by Akira’s side .
Really, just when did I solemnly swear this in my heart .
That vow will not fade, it was in my heart .
「Akira, let’s stay together forever . 」
「Ah- . you’ll be by my side, right?」
「Un . 」
For this moment alone, I could even thank my younger sister .
If I hadn’t been betrayed by those from my tribe, I would not have met Akira .
That’s why, Kirika Rose Quartz and all those other people of my tribe, thank you for betraying me .
