The King Of Hunter
59. Disaster > New followers?

"Where is this?!"

Harry said in confusion as he looked around only leaves and large trees

"You're sober?"

Elan asked with her body full of bloodstains

"?!"

Harry was a little wary and put up his fighting horses

"Master, the firewood is ready. Where am I supposed to put this?"

Said The Queen

Oh yes, the Queen's name is Merlin.

"Huh?"

Harry was confused

"Owh, just put it there. I'll take care of the rest. So just take a break.."

Said Elan while dissecting the cow's body with her Dagger

"Thank you."

Merlin said flatly

"Wait, what's going on here?"

Harry was confused

"You rest with Merlin there.."

Get Elan

I don't know why Harry would follow. There was no coercion or threat from his words. Is this the effect of the new power he got?

After that Harry sat on the trunk of a tree near Merlin. And they don't talk at all. Until finally Harry decided to take the initiative to talk so that the atmosphere was comfortable..

"Uhmm, your name is Merlin, right?"

Ask Harry with heart"

"Yes"

"I'm Harry, hello"

Still careful

"Yes." Yeah."

And they did not speak again for a few minutes, during which time they were busy seeing Elan who was leisurely and coolly cooking the beef she had just cut.

"Uhm, can I ask you a question?"

Harry said (still be careful)

"Yes"

"Why do you call that guy 'Master'?"

Ask Harry

"Because he's my master"

Merlin answered very briefly

"Oh... By the way, you're not cosplaying, are you?"

Ask Harry again

Cosplay: Dress like a famous character or figure

"I don't understand what you mean"

"Uhm, are you really an Elf? I mean, a race with long ears has that pretty face?"

Harry asked a little excitedly (his sense of caution was starting to wane)

"Thank you if you think I am"

Answer Merlin

That means he really is an Elf Race isn't it?

"Hey, the food is ready."

Said Elan with a loud enough voice

"Good"

Merlin said as he went to Elan's place

And Harry spontaneously followed what Merlin did.

"You'd better not do anything no-no with Mister, or you'll end up like me"

Merlin said in a slow tone so that Elan would not hear him

Harry who had just stood up was slightly surprised by Merlin's words just now. What does it mean to be like him? Am I going to be turned into an Elf?

Harry's brain couldn't understand what Merlin had said.

"Hmm, let's eat!"

Said Elan

"O-okin"

Harry answered nervously

Then they ate the beef together, until they were full.

Harry then thought, why did he look so cruel before? He's a good guy, right? Then why did Merlin say that?

As soon as he finished eating, Harry ventured to ask.

"Uhm, Mister? Whose side are you on?"

Ask Harry

He asks if Elan is on the side of humans or on the side of the Monsters.

"Not both"

Elan answered him briefly

"But why do you call yourself king? Just like what that monster told me."

Ask Harry more seriously

"The monster? What monster?"

Elan asked back

Elan who just came out of the Gate did not know there was a Monster that Harry mentioned earlier.

______________________________

Question: Why would he think about taking Harry with him?

Answer: Intuition

______________________________

Then Harry explained everything about the Monster who called himself King. And Elan was silent for a moment after Harry finished explaining.

For some reason after hearing that, Elan immediately remembered about the Demon King. Elan thought that it had something to do with the Demon King. But he didn't find the answer.

"I didn't change my answer"

lan after a few moments of thought

Harry was confused by that, and Merlin just sat back leisurely enjoying some leftover beef.

"You... Humans aren't?"

I don't know why the question suddenly popped into Harry's head. He doubted it because of Elan's reply who said she wasn't on either side.

"If you were human, you should have defended humans, right? If he's not on the human side, then his race needs to be questioned. You must think that way, right?"

Elan asked, looking at Harry

Harry was silent, not answering the question.

And Elan started talking..

"Basically, many people hate their fellow human beings. Because they are treated unfairly, harassed, trampled, or other degrading things. There is always one above, and there is one below. The one above looked at the others and acted like a ruler as if they could do everything. While the below can only imagine that they are in the top position, because they realize that effort and hard work cannot make them rise to the top position. It is impossible for one person to never hate another. So I thought, it's not strange that they hate each other. That's how I am. But only one difference, I was forced to hate humans...
