Alliance Master Room.
There, Yui and I sat in a chair for visitors.
"It's late."
Riff is still sitting in a toddler chair, stumbling on his desk and fooling around.
"You're from far away, aren't you? Then there's no choice."
"That's not what I'm saying. Things are getting pretty bad."
"What a mess?
Pick up the disturbing words and return them.
But the riff continued unchanged.
"We'll talk when we're all set."
"Then you can talk about it now"
When I say it, it sounds like a knock.
Riff gets up and says, "That's right..." and turns to the door.
"Come in."
"Excuse me. I'm sorry I'm late."
It's Phil.
Apparently alone.
"Didn't Soria seem like she could still come?
"Yeah, I've been extremely busy, and they're coming late."
Between Riff and Phil, there seems to be a lot of talk.
This request was received by the charisma party. Ask nature.
"Is something wrong?
"Soria moved to True Astaism. So I'm going to say hello, and I'm going to preach for impression."
"Hmm, what happened to Astianism?
"Almost disbanded. If that were the case, it would be natural."
"You're in trouble, you guys."
Sufi is busy, too.
For once, at Sheila's instigation, she's in Queena or my party, but she's not showing her face.
Something seems to be keeping in touch, but there will be no way for True Astaism to expand.
Then we'll talk about it appropriately.
The riff retrieves a squared magic item with a crease in the center. It's about the size of a fist, translucent water color.
I put that on the desk where the riff was stuck.
"This is a magic item of metastasis. I need you to use this to go directly to the elf branch."
"Are you going directly?
"Mm-hmm. Elves are refusing to interfere with the outside world. The pavement on the road isn't perfect. It's a long way up."
"... refusing to interfere with the outside world, is that okay for us to go?
That's what I said earlier.
Looks like we got a connection here.
Riff clouds his expression.
"Right now, the only other species of organization in the elf is the Alliance"
"Come on, is that just people?
"I keep that alone, too"
"You've often had it alone."
"Excellent. I'm getting an elf daughter-in-law, so it seems to stick. Still twitched and cornered."
Is there such a situation?
Accepting the request means that we are looking into the elves in advance.
By the work of the brave men of earlier generations, the elves were beginning to embrace other races.
But.
"Are you not doing well?
Phil asks.
"Mm-hmm. There have been suspicious signs for over a decade, but most organizations have withdrawn over the past few years. And now the Alliance is in a bad mood."
"It would be creepy if the strangers were so intense."
I guess I was also dealing with it as a guild.
A-rank, S-rank party has been requested in the elves and has failed.
That's why they called us.
"That doesn't mean the last trump card. Take another step back."
"That's pressure."
"Ironic, without being slight."
I can't be frightened because I don't know how difficult it is.
I've never been inside an elf.
What's more, I've never seen a species called Elves.
If I had known the average strength, I would have been able to react as the riff imagined.
But it is foolish to fear senselessly. If cowardice passes, he dies without being able to change.
"Then I thought I'd have you on your way. Touch the magic item."
Everyone except the riff can put their hands on it.
Phil, Yui's face has no fear whatsoever.
And the riff nods satisfactorily.
"I trust you will do it if you don't. If you get there, the branch will pick you up, so you can get an explanation from him. - I asked for it."
Vision turns bright.
It's a sign of metastasis.
Then the location shifts from the Alliance Master Room.
Silence if expressed in a word.
Small reception, not comparable to headquarters. The room also only has enough space for ten people to say the limit.
However, it is still well cleaned and has ornamental flower pots. - I can tell at a glance that the man I've been waiting for in this room is doing a good job.
"Welcome, charisma party folks! Oh, that was a tentative name. Um. Dear Sied, Dear Phil, you're Yui. Master Soria seems to be absent, but we've already spoken."
A man in his thirties or so who welcomed us bows his head deeply.
"I look. I am branch manager at this elf branch. We look forward to seeing you all."
"I'm listening. Quickly, but please provide the details of the request and the request form."
Phil responds.
Looks gave me three requisitions and a pen from the receptionist when I was told.
View the request.
"Nearby, we are entering a period of blossoming divine trees worshipped by elves. I want you to be in charge of escorting the distribution of the sap, as we will secure a large amount of sap at that time. It's called."
Seems easy as far as listening.
But we're called because it's not so easy to clear.
"An escort for distribution? What exactly do you do?
Cut deeper.
Don't be frightened or afraid, but let's proceed cautiously without alarm.
"I think the difficulty is when to distribute sap to demons."
"You give it to the demon too? Not just the elves?
"Yes. The Divine Tree is a being who gives grace to all of this forest. They say there is an ancient code that elves must not monopolize."
"I see. Wouldn't the demons make a big deal of it?"
Sharing the sap is a code decided by the elves.
Naturally, but that doesn't make sense to demons. Because sap and sap seem to be worth something.
"- Not many demons try to rob it. Because the sap of the Divine Tree enhances magic and makes your body healthy."
"Is it an increase in magic power? That's amazing."
"Yes, and influenced by the magic overflowing from the Divine Tree, the magic stones that are excavated can be a high-purity power source energy for magic items"
Magic Stone, a word I've seen in the library.
It is treasured because with this, you can handle magic items without having to use magic.
Something in which ordinary stones on the ground and elsewhere are sensed by magic and inhabit it.
It can also be produced normally, but it takes time to build pure magic stones unless you are someone who has gained so much magic or advanced magic manipulation.
"Be reasonable."
I convince myself.
In fact, I spread my detective magic from the moment I entered the elf.
Countless magic stones on the ground. The surrounding trees are also inhabited by magic, which is native to them like creatures.
And there is a huge single tree in the center of the interior. Undoubtedly, I can confirm that it is the Divine Tree. I felt so much vitality and majesty over magic.
"Now let's take you to your rental home."
I have a magic item for the transfer so I can easily go back and forth between the Kingdom of Xela and the elves.
So you don't have to stay.
However, being in the elves is more than unknown when the Divine Tree will blossom, so this time I was supposed to get a rental home ready.
Get out of the Elf branch of the Alliance.
