“Mommy! Mommy! Wuuuh. Waaaaah!”
Reyna was crying while hugging the letter and name tag left by Rachel. Lee Yoo-jung was comforting her. I still felt dazed.
“By the way, I don’t know anything about what kind of personality my daughter has or how she grew up. Can you tell me?” “Yoo Eun-ha, I never thought I’d be asking a girl for this. Please continue to love my daughter. Can you promise me that?” “That’s good enough for now. Thank you. I’ll trust you.”
Rachel's words still echoed in my ears. Now I knew everything. The person named Rachel Silverlyuk had come to the archive and died, leaving behind records. The book containing Rachel's records had been brought from far away, making it harder for Rachel to move. I should have also noted the safety protocol stating that only one person could enter at a time. The one who created that safety rule was an elf. In the elf kingdom, elves are considered akin to humans. That was just the norm. And unlike the wording of that safety rule, I hadn’t been able to read the name tag of the corpse at all.
“Damn it.”
What about my mother-daughter rice bowl? What’s going to happen to the mother-daughter rice bowl I’ve dreamed of, something I could only see in comics? Yoo Eun-ha wailed. Gwaaaaaah! No, this is not good. I can't abandon my goal here.
“Akashic Record. Can I re-enter that archive?”
[It is possible. However, as the name implies, it is a space where time and space are intertwined. The possible future scenarios that will occur when the Master re-enters the archive are countless.]
“Still, I have to go.”
For now, I’ll have to go separately later. What’s important right now is to finish the events in the Elf Kingdom.
“Reyna, let’s get up for now. We’ve entered the record repository, so our work is just beginning.”
“Can’t we go back to the archive?”
“Reyna, calm down.”
“Yoo Eun-ha, I want to go in.”
“You can’t enter. I can, but since the record repository has already been activated by your noble blood, you cannot go.”
The moment we entered the record repository, Reyna’s noble blood activated it. She must have already been recognized as the Master.
“Waaah. Uuaah.”
I gently embraced the crying Reyna.
“Instead, I’ll definitely save your mother.”
“How?”
“Because I can enter. I just have to finish the events that will unfold. Once it’s all done, I’ll take responsibility and save her.”
It’s not just for Reyna. I won’t be able to calm my anger until I thoroughly punish that Kanp who mocked me.
“Events?”
“There. We need to enter there.”
In the control room of the record repository was a massive portal. At first glance, it looked different from the portals used in Korea, appearing more like a decorative piece or some magical artifact, yet it felt like a storm of time and space. Surprisingly, that was a portal leading into the records. As I approached the portal, a voice that felt like it was speaking directly to my brain flowed in.
Wow. Hearing this makes it monumental, much more than just reading it. My heart swells. When I glanced at Reyna, tears were streaming down her cheeks. Elves are indeed elves. The blood of the elves must be boiling.
“Let’s enter here for now.”
“No, I’m crying, but doesn’t it look suspicious at first glance?”
“There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly suspicious. It’s literally a type of portal.”
Just as I thought, Lee Yoo-jung immediately grasped the nature of that portal. The portal, certified by Lee Yoo-jung, was likely safe for Reyna as well, and the three of us entered through the portal together.
Sparaaaat!
A dazzling light enveloped our bodies, and we spun around. Was this really a storm of time and space? After spinning for a while, just as it started to rise from within me, the world changed dramatically. Finally, a new world welcomed us. When I opened my eyes, I saw a fantasy world that could only be seen in novels or anime.
“Hmm?”
And what greeted us were elves, fiercely on guard against us. Pointed ears and long ears, distinctive white skin, and well-defined blond features. They all looked similar enough to catch one’s eye. But it would be a mistake to be deceived.
In the original story, Siwoo had realized that even the men in the Elf Kingdom looked like women, so regardless of their beauty, if they dressed like men and had a flat chest, one should consider the possibility of something being below.
All of their outfits were military uniforms. Among them, some were heavily armored like knights.
“Do you want to act like that now that you’ve come all the way here?”
Reyna and Lee Yoo-jung pinched me from both sides. It’s something that could happen when living life. I had always been honest about my sexual desires.
“Who are you?”
The elves were on high alert, wielding swords, spears, and bows as if they would attack us at any moment. For now, it was crucial to calm these agitated elves.
“Ah, we are—”
“Captain! Two humans and one half-elf!”
The elves began to converse among themselves, just as the original story had depicted, and my enthusiasm diminished.
“A human and a half-elf? Are you spies from the Empire? Who are you?”
One of the elf soldiers poked me with the tip of his spear. There’s a limit to rudeness. I had barely managed to refrain from vomiting, and now I felt like I could tear my head off.
“Damn it. This is bullshit.”
“One of the humans is using the words ‘damn’ and ‘bullshit’.”
“Then does that mean their names are Damn and Bullshit? There’s no such name in any country. There are no such names or words in the Empire. Who the hell are you?”
What kind of ridiculous names are those?
“I found myself here all of a sudden. And those aren’t our names.”
What do they take me for?
“Then does that mean you have nothing to do with the Empire?”
“I don’t even know what the Empire is. Besides, isn’t our attire different?”
The Empire gives off a distinctly medieval European vibe. It was the typical attire of humans in a fantasy world. That was how Siwoo had described the Imperial army in the original story.
“Certainly. If you’re neither of the Empire nor the demon army, then there’s only one answer. Do you happen to know how to use magic or weapons?”
“Uh? What’s the matter?”
“Those damn Empire bastards are attacking alongside the Demon King. Numerous fortresses have already fallen, and it won’t be long before they reach here. I don’t know how you got here, but if you’re not from the Empire or the demon army, you must be the outsiders mentioned in the prophecy. It’s ridiculous to say this, but I hope you can help us.”
How many days do we have left? Then there won’t be any time to enjoy ourselves. Reyna must think of this place as her hometown.
If we don’t start producing golems right away, we’ll be in trouble. I can’t save all the elves by myself.
“Hmm. Please give us a moment to think.”
“Understood.”
What kind of situation must they be in to immediately want to use the suddenly appeared people for their forces? I thought maybe a bit of time had passed since I had been in the archive.
“Yoo Eun-ha, what’s going on?”
“I expected this, but it seems we’ve arrived at the moment the Elf Kingdom is falling.”
Seeing the elves hurriedly preparing for war confirms that answer.
“What should we do here?”
“We need to either prevent the fall of the kingdom or buy time for the elves to escape.”
It seems impossible to prevent the fall in the first place.
“What does the Akashic Record say?”
“If we have golems, we can stop it. In short, we need you, Yoo-jung Sunbae, to help.”
In the original story, they are unable to save the kingdom. To be precise, Siwoo and the heroines only manage to buy time for the elves to flee to their old lands.
In return, the current elf queen gives Reyna a catalyst for awakening, allowing her to become a full elf. But I have no intention of doing that.
Now that we’ve come this far, we’ll save the Elf Kingdom. Then I’ll probably get something better in return. And I will save Rachel as well. I can’t give up on the mother-daughter rice bowl like this.
“What are you going to do?”
In the original story, the royal castle is the first to be attacked. They are surrounded by the Demon King’s army and the Empire’s army, facing a life-and-death crisis. In the midst of that, all Siwoo and the heroines could do was maintain the barrier and escape.
“I’ll go and buy some time. Yoo-jung Sunbae, please create the golems. Excuse me, elf gentlemen. May I borrow some magical stones?”
The concept of magical stones exists here as well. That proves that golems can be created in this world too.
“But to maintain the barrier—”
“No, how can we trust you?”
“Right now, we need anything we can get.”
The elves, who had been wary of us just moments ago, were now debating whether to trust us or not. Either way, they wouldn’t be able to use up all those magical stones before they fell. In the end, Siwoo had burst the magical stone storage to hit the enemy hard.
Then, can’t we use those magical stones?
“Then please only provide the items that Lee Yoo-jung Sunbae needs. And once you see the things she creates, you can decide then.”
“That’s possible.”
We found a point of agreement here. Lee Yoo-jung Sunbae had mastered the technique for creating golems. It wouldn’t take long to create them with the blueprints already in her head.
At first, she made a small robot—a tiny golem that fires a magical cannon while being charged with magical stones.
“Isn’t it too small?”
“No, that’s why we need more. If we make a lot of these, no matter how many soldiers from the Empire or the Demon King’s army there are, they’ll have a hard time holding on.”
In the original story, both the Empire’s army and the Demon King’s army could be handled by Siwoo and the heroines. The golems made by Lee Yoo-jung would also be able to match the level of ordinary hunters, so if there were enough of them, they could hold their ground against the Empire and the Demon King’s army.
“Hmm. We need to get permission from the queen first.”
“Yes.”
The elf queen. The Elf Kingdom has been ruled by women for generations.
It’s not because it’s a matriarchal society. It’s just a tradition that the one who can embrace everyone with a benevolent appearance becomes the ruler, and obviously, such a figure can only be female. No matter how benevolent a man might appear, how could he possess the overwhelming voluptuousness to embrace everyone? A body shape optimized for pregnancy couldn’t be denied.
Long ago, they say that plump men who would look like they had hypnosis apps installed on their phones became kings. Because the elves value beauty, male elves began to protest, and women succeeded to the throne.
In other words, what I’m saying is this.
Right now, we are being guided by soldiers to meet the queen.
“Are you outsiders?”
“Guh!”
That ample bosom! That overwhelmingly voluptuous body! That benevolent gaze! Such a person is the true queen!
“Mommy.”
It was indeed Mommy.
