Chapter 112 – Holy Maiden Skor

The ship entered the harbor.

Of course, it’s very dangerous since we’re still being attacked. But this is the only way to land.

“Skor, hold on tight!”

“Y-Yes!?”

I held Skor close to my side.

Skor was flustered and panicking, but I ignored it and jumped off the ship. I headed towards the harbor.

“Here we go~!”

“Eh, eeeeeeeehhhhhhh!!”

It felt like I was running through time.

In reality, I was flying through the air!

Below us, there were around a hundred elves.

They are still attacking the ship, but it doesn’t matter. I deployed the [Bone Shield] I bought in the Republic.

[Bone Shield]

[Shield]

[Effect]

Defensive power: 50

An orc skeleton shield.

Guard against physical attacks.

While being hit by stones and arrows, the shield was enough to defend us. Finally, I landed at the harbor of Borodin and headed straight towards the elves.

“What does a person from the Empire want here!?” “Illegal intruders!” “Who is this boy?” “He jumped from the ship!” “What is going on?” “Is he carrying someone?” “Doesn’t matter, let’s get him!” “That’s right, let’s lynch him.”

Hostility was directed towards us again. Now’s the time!

I threw away the shield and asked Skor for a favor.

“Skor, it’s your turn. Introduce yourself.”

“I-I see! That’s a good idea!”

Skor took a deep breath.

She stepped away from me and walked towards the elves.

“W-what…?” “Huh!? It’s an elf.” “Stop the attack! She looks like one of us.” “That girl…” “Wow, she’s a beautiful elf.” “Hmm!? Have I seen her somewhere before…?” “Wait… could it be!” “No way, it can’t be true!”

Some of the elves started to notice. All that was left was for her to introduce herself. Skor seemed to have made up her mind and raised her voice.

“Everyone, I am ‘Skor Zlonitse’, who had gone missing! I have returned!!”

The sheer volume of her voice made everyone fall silent.

And then――

“Whoaaa!!” “It’s Skor-sama!” “Really!?” “It’s the real deal!!” “No mistake, that face is the real thing!” “So beautiful…” “Her clothes are different, but that aura is of the Holy Maiden!” “What have we done! We were attacking the ship that the Holy Maiden was on!” “Uwaa, I’m so sorry…” “W-we’re sorry!”

The scene became noisy. Skor’s fame is incredible… I didn’t know she was this well-known. She is truly a Holy Maiden. But the people’s expressions changed quickly.

“What about the boy behind her?” “He’s from the Empire, right?” “Is Skor-sama being held hostage!?” “Ugh, has the Empire really fallen so low?” “Does the Empire have no honor or conscience?” “Skor-sama, come this way immediately!” “Protect Skor-sama!” “That ship looks suspicious too. It’s an Empire ship.”

This is bad.

I won’t be able to handle it if I’m attacked again.

I have no choice but to explain the situation. I was about to step forward, but――suddenly, Skor hugged me. What’s going on?!

“T-this person was originally from the Empire, but he has already severed ties with them, so he’s now on my side! In fact, he’s my husband!”

“Eh… Ehhhhh?!”

Skor, what are you saying?!

Even the elves were stunned for a moment… but in the next moment…

“W-what did she sayyyy?!” “Skor-sama has a husband!?” “No wayyy!” “T-that’s…” “Oh, when did they get married!” “This is delightful news!” “What is happening here?” “But he’s from the Empire?” “Well, as long as he cut ties with them, it’s fine.” “But still…” “Seems like he’s on our side.”

It’s quite a mixed reaction, but we’re surprisingly being congratulated. Now, what do we do with this situation?
