Black Summoner

- The Elf's Inside/Elder's House

Earlier it was Nerlas, who had lost his hips, but shortly thereafter disturbed and disbanded the rally on the spot. After that, we are invited to the Elves' elder house, Nerus, and we will resume our discussions here again.

When I sat on the couch in the room, the lady at the service offered me a tea-like drink. That's a scent I've never smelled before. What kind of tea is that?

'You fry a few herbs that are collected in this forest. From the fragrance, it seems to use luxury products enriched with magic.'

Dr. Melfina gave me an immediate answer to my question. It is always a boulder that can be distinguished by the scent alone.

Hmm... If you're offering us such luxury products, at least you're welcome. So what was the surprise earlier?

"Lord Kelvin, I was very rude earlier..."

"No, it's okay because I don't even care about Effil. than that-"

"I understand. You want to know why I was stunned."

"If you don't mind, may I ask?

Nellus leans slightly and looks alternately at me and Effil.

"... right. Let's talk about it. There's no direct connection to the King's request, but it must be very important to your girl."

"For me...?

I could see Effil squeezing his fist on my lap.

"That was when we were still on the Western Continent."

The elder story goes back about twenty years. The elves lived peacefully deep in a forest on the western continent. It is said that there was little contact with the outside world because of the application of multiple boundaries, just like the forest of this crest.

Some of the elves went out on their own, but most of them would not leave the inside first. Because elves are a rare species, because their appearance is so beautiful that it has frequently been targeted by other races in the past. It is also due to the fact that the Elf race has become closed, and now only the Beast tribe maintains a friendship.

Why did those elves need to come to the eastern continent? It was the dragon that caused it. That's not just a dragon either. It is the 'Fire Dragon King', one of the kings of the great Dragon Nation. Its strength is not comparable, such as evil dragons, and it is told that it is one of the finest of the S-classes.

The Fire Dragon King sets up a nest at a volcanic mouth far from the forest. None of us would have had the opportunity to make contact with the elves if we had, but that day was different. It was a sunny, blessed day. Sunlight is also poured into the elves where the trees grew high, during very warm days. Unexpectedly, a great shadow falls in the middle of the inside.

Those inside initially thought it was the shade of the clouds, but they begin to wonder about the shade that gradually swells and spreads. It wasn't until the trees began to be knocked down in a mess that was decisive. Neither a junction imposed on the forest, nor anything else, breaks down the giant great tree by junction, and the Lord of the red giant appears inside.

"... humiliate me and give me an elf. Otherwise, return the woods to ashes."

The elves who were there were stunned. I guess I couldn't keep up with my understanding because it was such a sudden event. All I could do was see the red dragon. The most unhappy was the elf that was closest to the dragon. Because the next moment the dragon ate me. I wouldn't have recognized myself being eaten either.

"Ugh, wow!

From there it was just a hell of a picture. The forest burns and the elves escape. Regardless of the woman or child, the dragon will eat the elf, and the escaped will also be consumed by the Fire.

Things cleared up when the population inside was trying to crack a quarter. One elf woman stood before the dragon and said away:

"Turn your anger to me, please. Instead, can't you miss the others?

The woman, who was not afraid in front of the dragon, was particularly beautiful among the elves and kind in heart. Did the dragon, who had left himself to anger, also regain reason in its appearance, stop the act of sabotage?

"You are not the elf I seek. But you look beautiful from my Fae... well, if you're going to be my bride, I'll write you off the shame."

Higher dragon tribes have the art of humanizing. In other words, it shows that it is possible to have a child in a heterogeneous race. It is unclear what the Fire Dragon King was angry about, but it was it that he presented it as a settlement proposal.

"... ok. But please let me say goodbye to my family."

"Fine. I'll pick you up again tonight. It should be done by then.... you understand, but it's no use running away?

Leaving words to throw away, the dragon flies away into the great sky. She was a woman who kept her eyes open until she was blind, but she said she cried down on the spot when she confirmed she had left completely. The woman was still young and soon refrained from marrying. Especially since the other guy was already in the dragon's belly...

The elder at that time also died in this commotion, and his son, Nerus, will take up his new position as elder. As is customary, seats for the celebration of the new elders are also to be set up, but they were not everywhere on boulders. He also said that he was often forced to monitor and make bitter decisions about future clan policies, the woman who would be the dragon's bride.

During surveillance, the woman spends little time with her surviving family and greets them at night.

At the moment of the covenant, Basari and the dragon appeared in silence. There are no more tears in the woman's face. He just said he left only one word like this before the dragon flew off.

"Forget about me anymore"

Then a few years later, a woman's body would be found at the edge of the forest. The elves fear the dragons and decide to abandon their homeland and escape from the western continent. It was to gather the survivors of the clan and rely on the beast country gown of the eastern continent for a new heaven and earth.

"... This is how our clan traveled to the eastern continent. After all, we don't know why the dragon attacked the inside, and we don't know what elves he was looking for."

Heavy air dominates the room.

"What if the woman who became the bride?

"Yes, her name is Loomir. This is the elf I mistakenly saw as Mr. Effil."

Uh, if my predictions aren't wrong, maybe that person will be Effil's mother... no, that place or his father is the Fire Dragon King!?

'No, it can't be. Half elves are born only between humans and elves. The target has too much blood in the dragon.'

"Oh well..."

It seems reassuring, the mystery has deepened... Speaking of which, Effil has had The Curse of the Fire Dragon King since we met. Now inverted and protected, but because of this curse, Effil had an unusual time.

... I can also say that we met because of that. No, is Effil better than that!? Aren't you shocked!?

"I knew Loomir, too. And I see her dead with these eyes... Mr. Effil, it's hard to say..."

"No, by the time I got my mind on it, I had no father, no mother, and I don't remember. So you don't have to worry about Master Nerlas. I have a husband, I have company."

Effil puts his head on my shoulder.

... Were you worried unnecessarily?

"Apparently, you've met someone you can trust. We're here to celebrate you as one of us."

"Oh, no, me and your husband are not in that relationship..."

Rarely does Effil get warm. You can't say anything from me because Serra and Melfina are staring at you from behind, yes.
