"About this..."
The human woman spoke, remaining in a state of "disappearance" like Vereesa, but her expression revealed a hint of embarrassment... just like a husband who had been misunderstood and didn't know how to explain to his wife.
Ah, or perhaps it's the other way around... It's really hard to say what each of them is really.
However, Vereesa is actually the more assertive one in normal times.
“It was because you were worried about Silvermoon Tree Garden. Ernie originally planned to tell us all at the same time when you went back… but since you weren’t there, she talked to me alone.”
As the human woman spoke, she, Vereesa, and Ernie, who was looking up in their direction, exchanged glances... They sat side by side on the branches of a large tree by the roadside, both dressed as usual, without any indication of extra layers of clothing, and Ernie was no exception.
Even though they could feel the cold, they didn't think about changing their clothes.
Moreover, although Inra couldn't see them, she also looked in this direction along with Ernie...
“Ernie said that since we’ve been watching Illa for so long, we hope that when she needs our help, we can do something in return… that’s what she said.”
Vereesa frowned at the human woman's words. She saw herself as an observer, with no intention of interfering in the proceedings. Looking towards Ernie, she addressed the two women simultaneously: "Why should we help her?"
The human woman nodded; clearly, she had asked the same question back then.
“Consider it a theater admission fee… that’s what Ernie said.”
As the human woman spoke, she patted the snowflakes off her body with her arms crossed. She stretched out her hand, and mana slowly gathered on it. She said, "Since the actors are unaware, our uninvited arrival is naturally not a problem..."
As Vereesa frowned, the mana in the human woman's hand gradually formed a magic circle, and the constantly rotating [Primal Formula] appeared on it... A kind of obscure rainbow light spread outwards.
“However, since Yinla already knows about our existence, it wouldn’t be against the rules to do something in order to deal with the calamity… So I think it’s necessary to pay a little entrance fee.”
As she spoke, Mana's response had already given the human woman the answer. She looked at the land that had become a vast starry river in her eyes and slowly chanted: "Primal Spell - Big Dipper Cross".
In an instant, countless beams of light, visible even to mortals, shot into the sky from the snow on the land of the orcs, densely intertwining to connect heaven and earth.
A thoughtful look crossed Inra's eyes at the sight, while Ernie nodded her thanks in the direction of the human woman, saying, "Let's go. Below those beams of light are the buried, unconscious orcs... You should go back first."
The last part was naturally addressed to the orc rescue team.
"Thank... thank you all, otherwise..."
The orc with the rabbit expressed his gratitude, while the other orcs stared solemnly and in shock at the countless beams of light... Indeed, only by truly seeing these symbols could one truly realize that life was right there.
Without the arrival of Ira and Ernie, some of those life-saving beams would inevitably have been extinguished by the time the rescue team returned, and a few more would have been extinguished tomorrow, and the day after...
"No need to thank us. If you want to thank someone, thank that person over there. She's the one who helped reveal your companion's location. She's currently hiding under the biggest tree over there."
The orc rescue team members found Ernie's words somewhat strange... but since Ernie and Ira's actions just now were clearly directed in that direction, they all thanked that location.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The search and rescue team began to return towards the tribe, and Ernie and Ira also began to rush towards the locations of the pillars of light... while Vereesa and the human woman did not rush over immediately.
"Do you feel good? The feeling of saving people?"
To Vereesa's less-than-friendly question, the human woman simply shook her head and replied, "You and I should both know that saving people is meaningless. Within a thousand years... those who are saved will also become a handful of dust."
In the face of the passage of time, redemption and revenge are equally meaningless—meaningless.
“Just like I said before… I think it’s not good for us to keep making fun of Yimra’s behavior. It’s not that we’re bad, but it’s not good for Yimra. So I’ll help her with small things whenever I can.”
"..."
Vereesa stared at the human woman who was speaking. She personally hated others interfering with a good show. She said, "We helped stop the three sisters from Hell before, and I planted the [Leaf] in Yinra's body that can save his life. Isn't that enough help?"
To Vereesa's question, the human woman smiled gently, leaned against the tree trunk, and said, "But he deserved it. It was the three sisters and Raphael who were wrong, not Illa... Let me think..."
The human woman organized her thoughts and then, in Vereesa's favorite way, used a metaphor: "We went into the theater without paying, and then there were people like Raphael causing trouble, so we helped stop him... but that doesn't stop us from buying tickets."
