After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

"Hello, nice to meet you officially. I am Wenresa Iluvita."

"Phew~ That's comfortable... Ernie~ Your body is really warm..."

"..."

"Vera..."

Yila immediately exclaimed, but the moment he uttered a word, he shut his mouth... Before him stood two exceptional beings, one an elf and the other a human dressed as a mage.

Honestly, this attire, much like Vera's, together with a striking resemblance in appearance, almost made Yila mistake her for Vera... He subconsciously thought Vera might be a doppelganger or something.

*For beings of their level, splitting into three souls or whatever should be quite normal... Vera could be a "clumsy soul" or something.*

(Vera: ???)

But it was not likely to be that dramatic...

Though they really looked alike, Yila soon realized that the so-called "Yayl" actually referred to the first three letters of "Yaylimeinoceyatos," which was the family name of Vera... In other words, this was her ancestor.

"Sorry, my mistake... But, miss, your surname is 'Yaylimeinoceyatos,' right?"

The human female, who was warming up closely with Ernie, nodded and said, "Yes, I no longer have a 'name.' If you'd like, you can call me Yayl, or 'Primordial Mage,' or..."

The human female thought briefly, recollecting her past, then rubbed her face against Ernie's body and said, "In the past, some would call me 'Human Female.'"

"..."

*What kind of ridiculous name is that... No distinctive recognition at all; it should at least be 'Human Female Mage of Exception,' right? In this tier, are there really so few human females?*

*Not really, the exceptional beings I know of... should be female-dominated, right?*

"I understand now. Yayl, you are Vera's ancestor, right? Without a name..."

In his mind, Yila sarcastically commented on the title "Human Female"... Given the talents of Vera's family, it was indeed not unusual for them to produce exceptional beings.

Yet, having no 'name' was quite an oddity.

"Yayl abandoned her 'name' to master the power known as 'Primordial Technique'... Move over a bit! Don't stick so close! Too overbearing!"

With Ernie's explanation, Yila nodded, not probing further. He turned his gaze to Wenresa Iluvita... Judging by the surname alone, he could almost guess everything.

A royal elf becoming an exceptional being... This was neither surprising nor did it need speculation about connections with Cassiopeia, because a connection by bloodline was inevitable.

Whether they knew each other or not was uncertain.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Wenresa... Was that leaf used to protect me?"

Yila asked, referring to the 'leaf', the emerald green one hidden in his body, almost preventing him from successfully committing suicide during his duel with Raphael... the one he got from opening a treasure chest while fishing.

"Hmm... No; at least for now while all the other exceptional beings are watching us, it couldn't have been my doing. That was something you obtained from opening a treasure chest, probably a well-meaning but misplaced effort by some elf exceptional being. I apologize on her behalf."

Wenresa said this, although outwardly denying it, her words subtly acknowledged it... The rules among exceptional beings, though it seemed like each one was breaking the rules, must have quite a bit of weight.

... Not a damn bit!!!

"For you all to appear here so boldly, and for Yayl to have marked the location of the beastmen earlier, isn't this a violation of the 'no interference with the Main Plane' rule?"

Yila asked, expanding the shield to encompass the four of them. The two playful beings constantly brushed against him, filling the shield with too much negative energy!

Women, move away! Don't disrupt my grand plan for civilization!

Thinking this in his mind, Yila showed a rare relaxed smile... Watching these cute beings frolic was one of the few things that allowed him a moment of rare laughter amidst his recent busyness.

*Really been quite tired lately, all because of the calamity...*

"Strictly speaking, it might be considered a violation... but it's impossible to strictly enforce it."

Wenresa Iluvita, with a smile similar to Yila's, watched the two beings and explained, "Protection and rescue, as long as they don't involve opposing intelligent beings, are hard to gauge as violations... Everyone knows that living beings are bound to die eventually."

At this point, there was no need for Wenresa to continue—now saved, but a hundred or a thousand years later, death will come...so it doesn't really matter.

"Moreover..."

Seeing Yila in deep thought, Wenresa continued, "Even though we might not feel much allegiance to our races, if someone saves the Elf Clan, I would appreciate it just the same, wouldn't I?"

Yila, the Savior of Silver Moon Tree Court, Hero of Elves: "..."

"So, this 'no interference with the Main Plane' rule generally only applies to situations with clear bias."

Wenresa Iluvita said this as she lifted the neck of the human female mage exceptional being away from Ernie who was about to make a move, saying, "For instance, in war, doing something to aid one side... or killing a certain person."

After pausing, Wenresa added, "Whether killing personally or sending subordinates to kill, the former has no room for explanation, while the latter might have some justification... Soon, exceptional beings would gather on their own to kill the rule-breaker."

*In other words, back then... the blood clan sent subordinates to kill Tipcapu, leading to Tipcapu's death. Even if that blood clan didn't offer themselves for me to kill, they would still be executed?*

*Too bad, while in the act of 'killing,' it doesn't count as a violation.*

As Yila pondered this, Wenresa Iluvita studied Yila's face... Though she had been watching the drama for a long time, seeing with 'eyes' and observing up close still had some differences.

"We've arrived; the gate of the Dwarf Kingdom is right there, and..."

Wenresa Iluvita said this, gently rubbing Yila's head as if he were her junior, saying, "Thank you so much for everything you've done for Silver Moon Tree Court, for my granddaughter... and thank you for your 'interest.'"

After saying this, Wenresa pointed to the steel gate and then used 'Divine Concealment' to vanish in the space. The human female also blinked and followed Wenresa in using 'Divine Concealment' to disappear on the spot.

*They probably left, huh...*

*Who are you fooling?! Ernie looked awkwardly at Yila's right-hand side!!!*

-------------------

Human Female: "Oh~ Wenresa, do you like Yila?"

Wenresa: "Pfft!!! I like you, is that not okay?!"

Human Female: "Sure thing~ Come here, give me a kiss!"

Wenresa: "!!!!!!!!!!"

...

Ernie: "Pfft~"

Yila: ???

*What was Ernie laughing about?*
