After getting rid of the annoying Sol from my sight. I was able to finally breathe in peace. I had to quickly turn into a giant butterfly, ending up destroying the clothes I was using in the way, just so they would stop looking at me like a cute thing. I knew using human-like hands was convenient, and being small as well, but to be honest, being in my bug form seems just alright for now.

Anyways, today in the morning I had decided to gather everybody together in this room to talk about what had happened, assess everything lost and everything won, alongside talking about my next plans and goals for now. I wanted to move on as soon as possible. Although I would love to just rest for a little while and take it easy, I am in dire need of getting back home, so my next destination is the desert, crossing it, and reaching the Demon King's Castle.

"We approximately had thirty casualties out of three hundred, it was indeed amazing how few died." Sighed Floresse. "However, the lost of our dungeon will make it hard to get back up together after we lost so many resources in this war."

"Well, I don't know how to give it back, so you'll have to deal with that yourselves, for now you can loot the humans, the giant black wyvern is probably expensive. The other method you could use to raise your economy is simply invading the Human territory while it is weak and frail, like I always tell you." I sighed.

"R-Right…" Sighed Floresse. "But our pacifist way of life prohibits us from doing such things. We only go on war to defend ourselves… taking the initiative would be offending our ancestors."

"Kireina we already discussed about this!" Elfina reprimanded me. "We'll go to the Demon Castle, and then you'll go back home. The fate of our world is not something you should be worrying about."

"I know, and I am thankful for you being able to understand my circumstances, but if I have the power to solve your problem right now, I don't see why I wouldn't simply do it. I just need to get there and do it. I can even do it without any casualties and as peaceful as possible. My powers at this point should allow me." I sighed.

"We won't, I won't allow you to do that!" Said Elfina. "The humans are still allowed to thrive and live as they please…"

"But they'll keep coming back to you all over and over again. If you absorb them into your territory, it will make it possible for peace to come sooner. Making them your allies and part of your kingdom. I know many disputes will surge in between, but as long as you get their government, they can't do anything about it." I said. "I already well versed in war and Kingdom conquest after all."

"Well, we appreciate your willingness to help us so much, but we shall decline for now." Said Floresse. "Let's not continue talking about this topic."

The elves were getting into my nerves, I couldn't believe how fucking stupid they were. It made me want to go on my own to conquer the Humans and then give their Kingdom to Elfina in a silver plate. Maybe if I just do it they'll give up and just accept it… or maybe they'll try to be the goody two shoes and attempt to free the humans after I give them to them? In such case, then it would be entirely pointless to do this. I'll give up, they're too stubborn anyways.

"Okay, whatever…" I sighed, turning back into my human form to snack on some cakes with more ease. I was completely naked but I covered my body with my wings, which I was able to shapeshift into a makeshift dress over my body, leaving me only barefoot and with my shoulders exposed a bit. "Is there a way I can help aside from this?" I wondered. "I kind of want to help you a bit more before I depart."

"Hm, if you could stay for two years so we can mine resources from monsters…" Said Floresse.

"Huh, we can do that in the rest of the week I guess." I sighed. "But no way I am staying two years!"

"I-It was a joke!" Laughed Floresse, trying to calm down the tension in the table. "B-But you said only a few days?!"

"I have the power to summon monsters as you saw, based in Mana. Can you calculate how many monster corpses you need to bring your economy back up?" I wondered.

"T-That's hard to calculate but…" Floresse began to spend several minutes thinking, then, she began writing over a paper many words. "If we usually hunt roughly twenty to thirty monsters daily, and we approximately need this and that… We would approximately, a hundred thousand monster corpses of the lowest grades, but if there are of higher grades, then it would be better and less would be required.

"A hundred thousand is a shit ton but as long as you supply me with Mana Potions and targets to drain Mana from, I can do it." I said.

"Mana Potions are in shortage…" Sighed Floresse. "But targets? What do you mean?"

"I can drain Mana from a living target by just touching them, alongside that, I regain Mana by eating meat, fresh meat gives more Mana. I can also regain Mana by letting the dungeon absorb entire corpses, the dungeon has its own Mana Pool, you see." I said.

"Huh, I think I kind of get it. If we offer you volunteers that can share their Mana, can you do it?]" She wondered.

"It would be enough with the surviving Elf Soldiers I believe." I said. "I've got some high-grade monsters as well, such as the Salamanders and Orcs you saw. Their materials must be expensive, and so the magic crystals inside of them."

"Salamanders and Orcs had never appeared in the dungeon before! That would be wonderful, Kireina! Thank you so much for this!" Floresse was very happy. She had a pretty smile, I had to admit it.

And like that, I ended supplying the elves with money through methods only I could use.
