E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 137 - Return

Weeks have passed since the great battle that took place at Crystalcourt. And now, the fleet of warships led by Leo has returned.

From a distance, the flag of Venice and also the flag of the Rustfell region appear to flutter beautifully.

The entire population welcomed the arrival of this warship with great joy.

"Everything! Mr Leo has returned!" Shouted one of the traders.

"Have returned?! Isn't this too soon?" Reply to a man who looks like a soldier.

"Huh? What are you saying?!"

"For Mr Leo, this kind of matter is just a small matter! Of course he could finish it quickly!"

"Whoever! Please call Mr Leo's family immediately!"

A stir is beginning to occur in this port. Everyone seems so happy. Some people were even seen preparing a banquet to welcome the return of the soldiers as well as their Master.

"Is the food enough?"

"There's not enough! Book in the North or South district! We must celebrate Mr Leo's victory with great fanfare!"

"You're right, with Master Leo's great weapon, they'll win easily there!"

A few moments passed....

Now, the port, which was previously busy with many trading activities, soon turned into something that resembled a city square.

There are a lot of small stalls open with lots of food and drinks inside. It also includes street performers who display various tricks and abilities in attraction magic.

The scenery in this port looks so good. While the warship led by Leo was getting closer at all times.

Some of the sailors around the dock seem to have started directing the warship so that it can dock easily and comfortably.

Meanwhile, Leo's family has been present. Along with them were also some important figures in the region.

"Mom, is Dad back? Isn't it too soon?" Marcus asked who appeared to be holding Reina's left hand.

"Of course it's fast! What kind of person do you think Dad is?!" Reply Stella with both arms crossed in front of her chest.

Reina was worried about all this. He also agrees with Marcus.

'Marcus's right.... The return of Dimas was too fast. Taking into account the journey time to Crystalcourt, they were only there for a few days.' Reina thought in her heart.

He could not stop the negative thoughts that were running through his head. With fearful eyes, Reina continued to pay attention to the biggest ship that Leo was supposed to be riding.

'Tapp!'

From behind, someone appeared to lightly pat Reina on the shoulder.

"Just calm. I know what Leo is like! Even if he gets hurt, I can heal him quickly!" Shouted Artemis who was trying to console Reina.

"Thank you, Artemis."

From the side, Roselia who previously still gave special lessons to Stella also seemed to comment.

"I am a realistic person. And I think waiting for them to come down before concluding is the best thing. It's just...." Said Roselia who stopped in the middle.

"just.... What's?" Tanya Reina was curious.

'Is it just my imagination? Or am I not able to sense where Leo and Selene belong? What's more.... A large amount of Mana in this entire ship....' Roselia thought in her heart.

And finally....

The expected answer arrived.

Not human. Instead of a race with hair color that is dominated by blond, yellow and silver. With the main feature of their pointed ears that are quite long.

Their main clothes looked like such a beautiful robe. Not much heavyweight armor was visible in their bodies. Only a thin light armor with such beautiful carvings.

"Elfs?" Reina asked confusedly.

"Huh? Why are they here?" Artemis was also confused.

It is by bowing down to all the crowd of men who are before them.

Everything without exception.

Even those who had just disembarked from the ship immediately accelerated their footsteps to join in prostration along with the other Elf higher-ups.

In that confused situation, there was one very strange thing right now.

None of the humans were seen coming out of the ship.

Amidst the silence caused by that confusion, one of the Elves immediately spoke up to break this atmosphere.

"I'm sorry for us." Said the Elf in a soft voice but also quite loud.

No one understood the apology. But that doesn't mean no one can guess the direction of the conversation.

"Oi.... What do you mean by that?!" Shouted one of the fishermen who was standing while carrying a large iron plate with one roasted chicken that was still warm.

There was no reply from the Elf who had just spoken that.

Now, several other people in the harbor began to raise their questions.

"Really! Where is Mr Leo?!"

"What did you do to them?!"

"Where is Mr Leo's army?!"

"My child! Where's son! He fought in the war before! Tell me where my son is?!" Shouted the old woman while crying and continued to shake the body of one of the Elves nearby.

But there is still no answer from them. They simply continued to prostrate, and waited for their apologies to be accepted.

The Elves were well aware that the action they had taken before was the most cowardly action a person, or a group of people, could take in a war.

That is, leaving reinforcements after they have come to help them. Without even a single attempt to save them back.

Or at least....

To die with them.

For a race with such high self-esteem as the Elf race, this action of theirs was a very low and extremely despicable thing.

But they had to do it.

Silverhide had collapsed and fallen in the hands of the Devil. No one knows what happened there. And if anyone survived.

On the other hand, Crystalcourt has been right in the face of destruction. And they are the only ones who survive.

To keep their race alive....

No. gabe.

Perhaps that was the cowardly excuse they kept insisting on in their hearts.

What really happened was that they were afraid to die.

'Tapp!'

One of the women with black hair tied in a ponytail appeared to be standing right in front of the previously speaking Elf.

It was none other than Roselia.

And without a single question....

'Braa!!!'

Roselia kicked right in the Elf's face. The highest ranking figure in Cyrstalcourt is Sventia.

"With this I forgive you. Now say. What the hell is going on?" Roselia asked with a very sharp look.
