I Got a Cheat and Moved to Another World, so I Want to Live as I Like

rows and ran back without even reaching the enemy」

Another High Elf exhales loudly, while shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders.
The air in the meeting room was not that of anger, but rather, they were so exasperated that they couldn’t even shut their mouths.

『Damaging the Imperial army without any casualties』

With this in mind, they tried to drive large magical beasts to the south, but the results were far below their expectations.
Screaming Arrow is, as the name implies, an arrow that only makes a loud noise.
When the magical beasts were struck with several of these arrows in succession, they turned on their heels and returned to the spirit forest.

「They eat our precious grasses without permission, but they are of no use to us.
What is the purpose of their existence?」

The high elf with thick eyebrows who said so with an angry tone was calmed down by the slouching high elf.

「They are useless and only bring harm, that’s why they are called vermin.
It was our fault for placing our expectation on them」

What they sent to deal with the imperial army was a goat-like magical beast called the Capricorns.
It can grow up to fourteen meters tall, so it can be said to be a large-type magical beast.
It is considered to be a harmful magical beast because it loves the grass that’s used as magic materials and to make potions.

『We can use this opportunity to drive them out of the spirit forest and crush them, all the while causing some damage to the imperial army』

They had hoped to kill two birds with one stone, but they were greatly disappointed with the result.

「I had hoped that I would never have to see that figure again」

The thick-browed high elf frowns in disgust and sighs.
The horn of the Capricorns bends so irregularly that one would think it was caused by disease.
In reality, they are not, but many find them repulsive.
In fact, most of the elves don’t even want them to be in their line of sight.

「They eat up our beneficial plants with their ugly appearance, but when the time comes for them to be useful, they shrink and turn their heels.
You won’t find anything more useless than them in this world」

The others nodded at the slouching high elf who said so while sighing.

「If only the heavy lancers are still around.
They’re stupid, but we can at least use them to charge into the enemy」

Another high elf’s words were also met with approval.
If they were able to hit the imperial army, they would be far better than the Capricorns.
However, this time, they couldn’t find their herd.

「To think that they are not there when they could be useful for us… I guess they’re just the same as those vermins」

Like a ripple, everyone in the room agreed with the mockery said by the slouching high elf who bent his mouth sarcastically.
The chancellor also bent the corners of his mouth into a smile and looked at the old man who was as thin as a dead tree.

(He’s awfully quiet today)

In the corner of his eye, the high elf was continuously polishing his nails with a scornful look on his face.
Incidentally, the old woman who always sits next to him was away on personal business.

「Are you not disappointed, knight commander?」

He must be thinking the same thing as the chancellor.
Another high elf asks.
The old man who was as thin as a dead tree, is the commander of the Elven knight order.
He is also one of the greatest warriors of the High Elves.
Everyone was expecting he would be the first to run a fit if the mission failed.

「Hmph」

The high elf who was as skinny as a dead tree, stopped trimming his nails and leaned his weight on the backrest.
Then he opened his slanted mouth.

「I don’t have any expectations towards mere magical beasts in the first place.
I sent them out as entertainment, but they even fail as one」

He looked at the chancellor with an irritated look in his eyes.

「I could have shot one of those Capricorns to death.
Or blow off a couple of its legs, and the rest of them would have been charging into the enemies as if their lives depended on it」

The knight commander, who was as thin as a dead tree, looked up while laughing loudly.

「Are you planning to stain the sacred land of this Spirit Forest with the blood of lowly magical beasts?」

Many high elves agreed and nodded at the chancellor, who returned with a stern look.
The knight commander didn’t erase the smirk on his face.
『What a bunch of weaklings』, he didn’t said it out loud, but it was written on his face.

「Okay, so what do we do now? Should we try to launch another charge? Or should we dispatch our elven knight order?」

As he said this, the knight commander blew his fingertips to send the dust from trimming his nails flying into the air.
The high elves in that direction frowned in annoyance.
