After all the chaos was over, currently Alicia and I were in the Elf evacuation site, which was in a tree house that was located deep in the forest, so this place was still not reached by fire.
But, of course, that doesn't mean all this mess will end just like that.
Right now, together with all the surviving Elf, we are having discussions to retake their village.
Looks like the mastermind behind this forest fire is still there. Alicia and I were asked by the head of the Elf village to help out in this discussion.
Well, I still owe them a debt for saving us, so like it or not I have to be fair in this battle.
It seems that in the village there are still a few remaining Elf, and currently they are hiding in a tree house which is the center of their village, namely the Sacred Tree, Elgia.
For the time being they are still alive.
But, now the problem was—
"Demonic Dragon, Rodan. Do we have a way to defeat him?" asked a male Elf warrior, he had long blonde hair, and had a feminine face, but he was the strongest warrior among the Elf.
I could see from his firm face, and also his built muscles. Moreover, different from the other Elven warriors, he had a flashy looking arrow. According to Alicia's explanation, it seemed to be a magic weapon.
Seeing an extremely strong person like him told him that he couldn't defeat the dragon. Exactly how strong are the opponents we will be facing?
Seriously, do I have to butt into this fight?
I'm not sure I can be of use.
I also don't want to have another near-death experience.
"Oy, Alicia, are you sure you don't have some kind of power to seal that dragon? Aren't there always stories about a goddess sealing evil creatures or whatever," I whispered to Alicia who was beside me.
"Geez, did you forget? My strength has now been reduced thanks to the penalty because I descended into the mortal world, you should know that."
"Uuh, really there's no other way? Then what should we do?"
Somehow this only made the situation seem even more impossible.
Our opponent this time was one of the strongest creatures in this world, namely a dragon. I really want to see it in person if I can, but I don't want to turn to ashes the moment I see it.
"We don't have any more time to continue discussing like this. In fact, while we're doing this, our freinds in the Sacred Tree are struggling waiting for our help! Come on, I'm sure we can do it! If we attack the dragons simultaneously, we definitely be able to buy time to save our freinds who are trapped there!" replied a young Elf warrior excitedly.
Hearing that, the village head, who was the oldest Elf among them raised hers voice. "Unfortunately, at the door of the Sacred Tree is also one of the leaders of the Demon King's army, Estella the Crimson Vampire. Even if we have the power to buy time with that dragon, we don't have enough power to defeat that Vampire."
"Uuh, why did the Demon King's leadership attack our village?"
"Perhaps she intends to use the Sacred Tree as a base. As we know, undead type monsters have the power of [Energy Drain], she probably intends to absorb the abundant magical power from the Sacred Tree. If we let her do that, then this entire forest will the end, because this forest is able to survive also thanks to the power of the Sacred Tree."
"…."
Hearing the village head's explanation, all the Elf immediately fell silent, they could only lower their heads with gloomy faces because they were at a stalemate.
Well, that feeling is also there for me.
I can't believe it, my first week in this world, I will soon be ordered to fight that monster that sounds like the last boss.
Isn't the order too far?
I haven't even killed a slime yet.
Anyway, I don't know if this is the right time to respond. But, I wonder why that person who looks like a 13 year old little girl is a village chief?
Is she really the oldest person in this village?
I know that Elf have long and youthful lives, but isn't this too much. Couldn't the world make the setting better?
While I was thinking about that, suddenly a male Elf raised his hand and made everyone stare at him.
"Actually, I've been curious since earlier. But, who are these two? Aren't they humans, what are they doing here?" asked the male Elf, who was looking at us with a sharp gaze.
It surprised me that the discussion suddenly turned to us.
It seems, both of them did not expect that,Alicia was also a bit surprised, she hastily hid behind me while receiving the glares from all the Elves who were there.
It also scared me.
Do they have some kind of grudge against humanity?
It felt like their gazes were a little dangerous.
"Um, we—"
While I was thinking about what to say, suddenly the Elf girl who was always beside us interrupted me.
She is an Elf girl we saved earlier, her name is Elvy.
"They are my life savers. When I was attacked by monsters, they saved me and also healed me. So I won't stay silent if you insult my life saver," interrupted Elvy who immediately came forward to defend us.
Uuh, somehow I feel like crying.
She really is a good girl. I'm grateful for saving her that time.
But, even if her voice helped us, it still couldn't dispel everyone's suspicions of us.
Seeing that, the head of the village also helped. She smiled and said in a soft and gentle voice, like that of an aged old man.
"Don't worry, that woman over there— Alicia-san is the same [God Sense] user as me, so they are good people."
"[God Sense]?!"
"That human?!"
"I can't believe it!"
Hearing that, all the Elf looked very surprised and they started looking at Alicia with amazed gazes.
—[God Sense], it was a blessing that was the same as that of the gods, namely the power to see and speak with spirits. Some of them even have contracts with them.
Well, but Alicia's was a little different, it wasn't a blessing from the gods. Rather it was because she was a god herself, so it was only natural that she would have one.
Apparently, when I was fighting that lion-like monster, Alicia used her power to send a message to the village head through the spirits, since they had the same power.
So, thanks to that also I was saved.
Well, I'm really grateful about that.
"[God Sense], I can't believe she also has that power," said a female Elf in awe, as this was the first time they had seen someone with the same blessings as their village head.
After all, this blessing belonged to the super rare category, where it would only appear 1 in 1 million people within 100 years, so it was no wonder they were in awe.
The average user of [God Sense] was a good person, as they were people directly chosen by the gods and loved by the gods, so it was only natural that with Alicia by my side, we were considered good people.
After knowing that everyone was praising her, the goddess finally came out from behind my back and puffed out her chest arrogantly.
"Well, that's why, you don't need to worry. They are on our side and will help us to take back our village," repeated the village chief, then she resumed hers words, with a serious face. "Alright, let's continue our discussion one more time. I want you all to come up with every idea you can think of. We don't have much time left, we have to get this over with before the day after tomorrow."
