The spirits of the rainbow birds flew high and took the Hulls to the foot of the other side of the mountain, where the central great forest was located.

I could hardly even say hello because as soon as I grated the Hulls, they flew away, but I thought that's what spirits are supposed to be that don't really relate to people, and ride the carriage in the direction of purpose.

"But I didn't think you'd let me travel with you to the carriage"

Hal, who holds the reins, was wondering somewhere that he was still able to travel in this way in his carriage.

"That's right. I never thought I'd be that big."

Lunaria, with a slight face, also agrees with Hal.

I was impressed with the spirits of the rainbow birds that carried them to the foot easily because they would be of considerable size and weight if there was not only a horse but also a carriage body.

- Hal, Lunaria.

Talking about that, Emily talks to the two of us.

"What?

"What is it?

Hal listens while holding the reins, and Lunaria sits across the street, so she faces Emily as she is.

"Thank you."

"Uh... what?

"What is it about?

Both Hal and Lunaria tilt their necks because they suddenly thanked us. It was because I had no idea.

"To meet dangerous eyes, to follow me as I am, to go with me to the Central Great Forest, thank you for everything."

Once again, the feeling that Emili with a serious expression sometime appreciates it is properly communicated to both of us, even without words like this.

But neither Hal nor Lunaria understood why I would say it at this time and I was puzzled.

"... Emily, what happened?

"There's nothing there. I just wanted to thank you both so much for your help. They gave me money too..."

A slightly leaned Emily gently strokes the elfenium plate she is equipped with as she replies to Hull's inquiry.

"Is it also something you're hiding, Emily...?

"Nothing, I just wanted to say thank you."

Lunaria speaks gently to Emily, who looks strange, but she just shook her neck small and sideways without changing her expression.

There's something - both Hal and Lunaria felt it, but if the irresistible Emili herself doesn't try to talk, she's not going to pry any further, and the two just nod and confirm their intentions when they look at each other.

The peaceful carriage journey will be smooth and a stop will be made in the village in front of the Central Great Forest.

"Let's take a break here today. I hope I can get an inn..."

Hal parks his carriage around the village entrance and looks inside the village.

"Oh, oh, did you come over that winter mountain?

The villagers who find such hals speak up.

He looked young, but the ears of a man speaking in an old tone were pointy.

(Elf......)

"Oh, I wish I could stay in the inn in this village because I'm tired..."

While I am heartily surprised that I am an elf, I ask questions about the inn in the guise of calm.

"Uh, I'm sorry. There's only one inn in this village, but it's very small, and right now, travelers are staying and there's no bed available."

Elf man bowing his head looking sorry.

"Well, then move on..."

"No, as soon as I leave now, it will be night. Night travel is dangerous, as is Nojuku. It's not a big house, but you can stay with us if you like."

A gentle smiling elf man makes a suggestion after listening to Hal.

"No, I appreciate the offer... you know?

"Yes, I will cause you trouble"

Hal and Lunaria move on in the direction they say no. It seemed a little distracting to take care of someone I met all of a sudden in the village.

"No, no, don't worry about it. It's a small house, so I can't entertain you very much, but please... Here it is. Bring the carriage."

Hal and the others have no choice but to follow him as he walks in the direction of the house once he moves on.

The offer to stay was appreciated, so I had changed my mind as to whether I would refuse.

Because of the fatigue in the mountains, it was helpful from a physical point of view to be able to rest in a place with a roof.

I can turn my gaze from several villagers as I go through the village.

"What?

"Something's wrong..."

Hal and Lunaria notice that gaze, and when they turn their faces to confirm, the other person slightly slips away from their gaze.

"What's wrong?

An elf man looks back and asks the Hulls questions, but no way the villagers are suspicious, nothing just shakes his head.

"Really, you got to us more than that. It's a house with nothing, but please relax."

The guide was to a mansion that was small, large for nothing, and perhaps the largest of the villages.

"In such a splendid mansion... what the hell are you?

"Oh, I'm late for my offer. My name is Diadis. I'm letting you do the village chief."

I don't think it was the village chief who offered me the inn himself, and Hal and Lunaria are surprised.

Even Emily, who had pierced her silence so far, had her eyes wide open.

"Please park the carriage there, you all go inside"

Hal moves them to the roofed carriage yard, and then the three of them walk right into the house.

The moment I walked into the house, Emili shook victoriously for only a moment.

Noticed it, Hal turns his gaze to chills. Emily nods tiny and hal back so Diadis doesn't notice.

"Come this way, I'll prepare a meal, so please rest."

"Thanks"

"Thank you"

Hal and Lunaria thank Diadis for his words, and Emili bows her head with a pepper.

"Lunaria, can you just wrap me and Emily so your voice doesn't leak outside?

"What? Yes, you can"

"Please."

Realizing it was important from Hal's short words and expression, Lunaria quickly put up a barrier to keep her voice from leaking.

The only thing that put Lunaria out there was insurance for when Diadis came calling.

"- Emily, now I can't hear you outside. What happened? What happened?

Emili looked a little lost with an anxious look on her face at the inquiry, but nodded small and opened her mouth.
