"Don't do this. If we pretend not to see them, what do you think will happen to them?"
"..."
"Everyone, do you need help?"

Katria extended her hand to them without hesitation.
The humans gladly accepted her help.

"So, this is how one of my prejudices gets shattered. Dark Elves, evil creatures? Who spread such nonsense—"

Katria thought the same.
The races of the outside world were said to harbor baseless hatred for Dark Elves—

Her new human companions proved that was a lie.

Katria felt a special connection with them.

Her first friends from the outside world.
Friends who broadened her world.

She thought to herself.

Humans truly were—

"Friends? You bitch. A Dark Elf like you? You think we’re friends just because we humored you for a bit?"
"Hahaha, Wilhelm! Did you really become friends with a Dark Elf in such a short time?"
"Shut your mouth before I rip your tongue out. Hey, Dark Elf, don’t you get it yet? You’ve been kidnapped. Hand over everything you’ve got."

Humans truly were—

"Wait. This Dark Elf chick. Now that I take a closer look, she’s actually pretty good-looking, isn’t she?"

Humans truly were—

"...Should we have a little fun with her before selling her off as a slave?"
"Are you serious? You’d mess with a Dark Elf? What if you catch a disease or a curse—"

A vile and despicable race.

Fwoosh.
The paper in Katria's hand went up in flames.

"Document every detail of how Dark Elf slaves were treated."
That was the command Katria had given to Resha, using the slave’s imprinting mark.

The paper Katria had just burned contained an explicit account of what her sibling had endured while in human hands.

"Aaaah!"

As the contents of the paper replayed in her mind, Katria tore Resha’s clothes to shreds.
She forced the naked woman to roll in the filth of the city’s back alleys, then dressed her in rags soaked in the stench of decay.@@novelbin@@

According to the slave trader, that was how Dark Elf slaves were commonly treated.
