Chapter 72 – 44. The Elf in This House Is Pretty.

“Elder. I brought a human who sneaked into the forest.”

Walking while wearing a leather pouch, it seemed that the place they arrived at was none other than the inside of a building inhabited by a high elf.

‘Seeing that he is an elder, he must be a high-ranking nobleman.’

“Hey, hurry up and take this off. I’m going to die of boredom.”
“To be rude. How dare you be human.”

With a cold tone, Rosaria wanted to tell Allen to shut her mouth, but perhaps because she had a superior, she didn’t say much. She kept her mouth shut, waiting for the elder to speak.

“Great job. Rosaria, Colette. It’s fine for the two of you to go out.”
“All right. Let’s go, Colette.”
“Huh.”

The two female elves followed the elder’s words and left, but without saying a word, Allen, who was still standing there, sat down on the floor and opened her mouth in the direction of the elder’s voice.

“Hey. Do elves not know how to greet guests?”
“I don’t think that’s what a human who sneaked into the forest would say.”

Concentrating her mana into her hands, he slashed the ropes around her wrists and grabbed her wrists as she threw off her leather pouch, turning them lightly.

“You are a human with a vast amount of mana. But I wonder how they got caught so easily.”
“Just. Because I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble. But do you have any intention of showing her face?”
“I came here because I wanted something.”

As if she didn’t want to answer Allen’s question, the elf elder didn’t even show up.

All I could see was her silhouette sitting miserably with a large cloth covering it.

“…Well, I need ingredients for medicine.”
“If it is a material that can be used for medicine, it can be obtained even in human society.”
“Moonlight candle. I need that.”
“That won’t work.”
“Why? An elf named Korette said that there is a colony of moonlight plants. If so, can’t you give me a few roots?”

At the mention of the moonlight plant colony, the elf elder picked her head and continued her words.

“Colette is a good kid. To protect us, she roams the forest day and night without boundaries, so she is quite dark in the news of the village.”
“Don’t talk back, just tell the main story.”

Annoyed by the roundabout words, Allen urges the elf elder to speak quickly.

“Recently, a monster ate every single moonlight plant.”
“So? What do you mean? I hate talking about it.”
“Great. If necessary, we can provide canned moonshine in advance. Instead, I want you to get rid of the monsters that entered the forest.”
“Aren’t elves proud of being a superior race to humans? But to ask a mere human? Even elves passing by will laugh.”
“You’re right. Asking a human for a favor would damage the elf’s pride. But she has no choice but to ask. No, I’m asking you, who has vast and intense mana.”

The elder of the elves looked me in the face with a determined voice and asked.

“It doesn’t fit the balance.”
“Yes?”
“The moonlight plant I need is a moonlight plant that blooms while basking in the energy of the full moon that fills the sky.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll give you canned moonlight candles on the full moon.”
“It’s not like that, it just doesn’t pay off. The only thing the elves could get by killing the monsters that they couldn’t do was a few moonshine plants. How much more can I believe what you said? A monster that eats moonlight plants? And an elf asking an outsider to exterminate monsters? Isn’t that strange?”
“You are a greedy and suspicious person.”
“Greed? Didn’t I say that I was good at calculations wrong? Again, it’s not that I’m overly suspicious, it’s that I’m careful in detail.”
“If so…”

The elder elf got up from his seat and was looking for something. Then he rolled up his cloth and showed his face with a necklace in his hand.

Platinum long hair with no hair ornaments at all.
She had a bit of sleepy eyes, but she was a woman of considerable looks.

‘That’s why the slave trader had a reason to kill her elf so much that she said die.’

The elder elf saw one of her legs with her graceful steps, her legs showing off her white legs while wearing a pleated skirt that left her thighs exposed.

‘I want to get a foot job, I like gums, I like knee-socks… I want to try it once?’

“This necklace is a historical necklace passed down from the elven family, and it amplifies the wearer’s mana… Where are you looking at…?”
“Huh. I’m looking at your legs.”

At her candid words that she was looking at her legs, the elf elder bent down at her waist and hid her exposed thighs with her hands between her slit skirts. Spit out

“Hey, if you drop a necklace that comes down from the elven family like this, you can use it.”
“Boo, what an ungodly man.”
“I think all races will look at you, even if you are not human.”

Standing up with her fallen necklace, Allen placed her necklace on the Elven Elder’s hand again and held her hand.

“Hey, let go of this!”
“Okay. Don’t let go.”

Surprised to see Allen let go of her helplessly, the elder elf immediately blushed and glared at Allen with her raised eyes.

“I’m sorry for the rude behavior, and to be honest, I don’t need the elven royal family’s treasure. Rather, I want something different.”
“…What do you want?”

Seeing the elf elder glaring at me with her body stretched out without letting go of her guard, this… Her possessiveness seeped through.

“We’ll talk about that later. I’m hungry. Could you give me some food?”
“…All right. Let’s have a meal and talk. So, I want you to leave.”
“It is chilly. It’s a mess because we only held hands once.”
“Please leave quickly.”
“Okay. Then ask me to prepare it quickly because I am hungry.”

Allen walked down her stairs with a meaningful smile, as if she had a good idea, before she abruptly left.

****

“Preparation is just that much. Chuck cha cha cha!”

At the same time as she straightens her bowed back, Allen, who makes her song, lightly relaxes her body and takes a deep breath.

“Whoa… The air in the village is nice. It’s such a nice place that she’ll want to come if she’s going to be a grandpa.”

In the evening, the bugs that glowed like lights and the elves who dug up the thick old trees could see their silhouettes in the window, as if they were living inside.

“Do elves dig trees and live in them? But it’s pretty quiet. It seems to be in the form of an apartment, but if it is that quiet, there will be no problem with noise between floors.”

Allen yawned as she wandered around the town, her eyelids growing heavy as she yawned again, bringing tears to her eyes.

“I’m tired… Jeop. But what is the elder elf doing so late to prepare dinner? I will die of hunger.”
“What? How are you alive?”

At this time, she was leaning against a tree, blankly thinking about something else. She turned her head at the familiar voice.

“What is it, a night out? What are you doing here?”
“Th-like you, how are you still alive…? Are you a ghost?”
“What bullshit… Anyway, where are you going?”
“Huh? Ah, I’m on my way to training.”
“Training?”
“Huh. Ah! Come to think of it, I’m training because of you…! Ughhh!!”

An elf who can’t get out of the way. With all that said and done, which beat should I tune him to?

“What can I do? I am so good.”
“Ugh! Unlucky…!”
“Haha, that’s funny. More than that, you can’t even manage mana properly. Manpower… No, is it El-manpower?”
“This, this ishee hee!?”
“I won’t hit you, so don’t be scared.”
“N-Who said he was scared…!”

Facing Colette, who loses her temper and goes her own way, Allen pauses her steps for a moment.

“What, what is it?”
“Next time you grant mana to an arrow or borrow the power of a spirit, don’t rush it. The sound is so loud that you can hear it. Also, the destructive power was very poor.
“Oh, to lie…!”
“I didn’t have a single wound on my body, did I? Oh, and keep moving to effectively kill your opponent. If you stay in one place for no reason, you will be attacked instead? Also…”
“Ebebebebe!!! I can not hear you!!! Ebebebeb!!”

Colette runs fast, making a fuss about not being able to hear after covering her ears.

“That thing, how old is he, so his mental age…Is that of a toddler?”

After disappearing so far and not being able to see Corette, Allen sighed and rubbed his hungry stomach. Perhaps she couldn’t stand it. .

“I’m hungry, give me some food!”
“I haven’t finished preparing the meal yet. Wait a little longer…”
“No, I can’t stand it. Give it to me quickly, just.”
“Really. Is the human race very impatient?”

An elder elf handing Allen a clear soup in a wooden bowl.

“Ah… What kind of soup is only grassy… Other side dishes are also grassy…”
“What, what are you talking about…! It’s my favorite dish, so if you don’t like it, you don’t have to force yourself to eat it! No, don’t eat!”
“Who doesn’t eat? I was just complaining, complaining. Now, let’s eat quickly.”

Allen knocks on the table and urges us to sit down.

And her elder elf, denied her own cooking, takes the seat opposite her in a fit of temper.

“Well, since it’s a good dish, I eat it specially.”

I lifted my spoon, scooped out the soup full of grassy smell, and took a bite.

‘Oh… It’s pretty light, so it’s not bad. The taste of consommé?’

Seeing Allen continue to inhale the clear soup without a word, the angry Elf elder smiled proudly and raised a spoon.

“It’s a little disappointing that there is no meat, but it was delicious.”
“A human being who understands my cooking. It seems that you have at least some basic knowledge.”

When she shows her a wooden bowl that has been completely emptied, the elf elder shrugs her shoulders, saying that his dish is of course delicious.

“Since you’re full, let’s get to the main topic. Even if you defeat monsters, the reward is a moonlight plant with the energy of the full moon? Rather, am I not the loss?”
“Then what do you want?”
“Elder, what is your name?”
“…My name is Evelyn.”
“My name is Allen Mestia, the second son of the Marquis family. A belated introduction, but nice to meet you.”

Allen belatedly shows his gentlemanly side to Evelyn, the elder of the elves, and asks for her handshake.

Evelyn wasn’t a cold-blooded elf who refused to shake the hand of a non-rude human, so it was at that time that Allen took her outstretched hand and shook her hand lightly.

“What are you going to do with me now?”
“I like you, Evelyn. So, what would it be like to be mine? I’d rather have you than Moonlight Grass for this monster eradication.”

Allen doesn’t let go of Evelyn’s hand and holds her forcibly, telling her to be her own.

“I don’t like it. How can I be human… What is this again?”
“Think carefully. Anyway, if I put my mind to it, I can get the moonlight plant right away. However, if Evelyn comes to me, I can handle monsters, humans, and other races that come to this forest on my own.”
“That said, forcibly carving mana is the same as asking you to become a slave, but you are the same as other humans.”

Evelyn, with her cold voice, glared at her Allen lying on her table with her words of vulgarity as she effortlessly pushed the mana of flame up to her own forearm.

“Did you think I was weak? It’s just that humans give compliments for a while and say that it’s good, so it’s really easy to deal with it. Do you know why I asked you? Of course we can get rid of it. But it will come at the cost of a few elves. But. I have never been so happy to see a boy with vast amounts of mana arrive just at the right time.”

Evelyn’s cold mana froze her Allen’s forearm, no, even her shoulder, instantly chilling her room.

“If my mana touches your heart like this, I will surely die. Let me suggest this time. You are an inferior human being. Become ours and slay the monsters that invade our territory, or anything that opposes us.”

Evelyn’s mana gradually eroded beyond her shoulders and now to the vicinity of her heart.

However, Allen was laughing.

“Why are you laughing? Hearing your name sounds like you’re an aristocrat, are you sure you want to die an honorable death out of pride? You don’t have to worry about that. Just to engrave a spell on your heart…?”
“Cheuk…! Haha!!!”

I laughed until my stomach hurt. She knew there would be a variable, but she didn’t know it would flow so easily.

“It’s such an idiot. You shouldn’t pour mana like that, no. Then the main base will be robbed?”

The elder elf, who thought he was going to shake himself with unknown words, did not hesitate any longer, and his heart would freeze at the slightest movement.

So you need a word of obedience to live…

Roaring!!!

The flame of life that starts from Allen’s heart burns everything it touches, and the ice that froze up to her chest melts and evaporates in an instant.

“What, what!?”
“I mean, because I am favored by a very noble and great person. I can’t name him, but you’re no match, Evelyn. And even if he didn’t favor you, you were going to crawl under my feet anyway.”
“Bar, who is out there!!?”
“Oh no, no, no. It wouldn’t be right to call an elf like that.”

Allen gets up from her seat and covers Evelyn’s request for her help, whispering tenderly into her white ear like her lover.

“Don’t worry. A new world will soon open up. Until then, don’t lose your mind, Evelyn.”
