Editing Skill Tree Goddess:Volume1 Chapter2 (section)

===Part 11===

A great many wagons sat deep in the forest.

The collapsible huts and storehouses were still set up, but they didn’t need to be broken down. With the high elf chief’s Group Flight, the giant caravan made up of dozens or even hundreds of wagons and simple huts would be moved to another deep forest.

Just like it had worked in the past.

Not even the thickest castle walls or the tallest palace could stop the coming wave of greedy humans. The high elves all knew the only path to safety was to leave no trace of where they had gone.

Then the high elves would be safe. None of them would have to die.

They only had to abandon the outsider who was even now fighting for them.

“…Kh…”

Sayuran Cuchanbern, the high elf with her long blonde hair tied back, didn’t like it, but everyone could tell this was the best option. Even the boy himself had told her to escape.

“One more.”

Just then, something spilled from the high elf chief’s lips.

“We can take just one more with us.”

She was delighted.

So much so she thought her heart would stop.

But Sayuran Cuchanbern kept her head lowered and said what she had to say.

Because this was the correct thing to say in her position.

“But he is not of our blood. Inviting a human and outsider to our caravan is against our rules!”

Yes, that was correct.

And only someone with the right to create another answer had the strength to oppose an existing answer.

So only the high elf chief continued unshaken.

With the necessary resolve.

“He had no reason to fight. But he is still out there fighting for us. We fear capture by those greedy humans more than anything else, so how can we force it all onto him alone?”

No one said anything.

Ordinarily they all would have argued back, saying that was how they had always done things. That they didn’t do so proved they were conflicted.

The correct answer had been shaken. No, a new answer was being suggested.

“I have a question for you all,” said a calm female voice. The high elf chief looked young, but she had lived several hundred times longer than a human lifespan. “Can we really call him an outsider after he has done so much for us?”
