After finishing the burial of Elder Bear, Eve and the hunter, plus three fairies, were returning to the biggest hall in the elf. He came back to report the upside of what happened with Elder Bear to the main elf girl in the hall. Or you could say you're here to ask me where the elf named Alfania is.

Apparently, the fairy who accompanied those Eves was a resident of the hall where the elf girl lived. When I spoke to her, the elf girl told me that you were here to see how the Eves were doing?

"Huh, it was cold -"

Gashacon......

"Woom! Yappali, Kono Body II Rene! 'Gashongashon

"Or maybe it's cool...! ♪ Kikupi ♪

Eve sparkled her eyes when she saw a fairy entering into the magic guide armor like a puppet that was there. Though Armor's appearance wasn't designed for girls, but was as boneless as it was made just to accomplish the purpose of protecting the fairy's body, it seemed to work well enough to attract Eve's interest.

The hunter narrows his eyes to the reaction of such an 8-year-old, speaking to the elf girl who welcomed them about themselves.

"There was a lot going on, but Elder Bear said he attacked the elves inside... well, he traveled"

"Right...... You know, there's really been a lot going on."

"... you knew from the beginning, didn't you?

"Well?

To the hunter's pursuit, the elf girl avoided making a clear statement. However, to infer from where the fairy living with her knew everything, perhaps the elf girl must have known everything too.

Though the hunter was aware of that, he did nothing more than pursue it. Because now it's already noon. Because nearly 10 hours were passing since Waltz told me to bring an elf named Alfania. Even though everything happened, it was a good time to go home.

"Well, fine. So... we've been told by Waltz to bring someone by the name of Alfania..."

"Oh, that's what you said?

"Actually... I have a really bad feeling about this. Maybe someone in the immediate vicinity is Alfania, right?

"It's --"

"But if you say no, you can't help it. Let's report to Waltz that we tried to get to the biggest mansion in the city, but we didn't find Alfania."

"Hey..."

"Hmm? Is there something you want to say as well? ♪ To

You know what I mean?

"... well?

"Interesting!

An elf girl who speaks out in protest toward a hunter who imitates her own remarks —— Alfania.

Then that's when Eve interrupts the conversation, whether you were listening to the two of them.

"You... Master Alfania?

"... I'm sorry I kept you hidden. Anyway, I'm the head of this place, Alfania. Surprised?

"Not at all"

"Oh well..." Shin.

"Hey, Master Alfania? Why did you let Eves get rid of that bear?

Eve threw such a question at Alfania who somehow shunned it.

Then, Alfania said, "Hmm?" And I lifted my head and stared at Eve --

"... Come on, I don't even know how. I just thought that if they were, I'm sure they'd solve this case well. Strongly, it's intuitive."

—— As she smiled, she turned to Eve for an answer that could hardly be described as such a response.

Is that what inspired you...... Eve adds a question for Alfania. The question was also close to that directed at hunters and waltzes in the morning.

"That's what you thought... because you're an adult?

"Adults?"

"Eve wanted to help the bear, but neither the bear nor the elves wanted it... But at the end of the day, I think we've all come to a satisfactory conclusion. At that time, Eve was worried about what to do… I wonder if Alfania might have known from the beginning that this would happen."

In some sad way, against Eve, who speaks about this one, Alfania reached softly --

"... sounds like you've made me feel hard"

Pough......

—— I put that hand over Eve's head, gently.

"It's not about being an adult, is it? Look, look how the eagles look. This guy has been looking like a child ever since he was born. Even the contents, maybe, are not adults. So... because you're an adult, it doesn't matter because you're a child. Well, if you insist... it's the work of the year"

"What's the kung fu of the year and the adult... maybe not?

"Naturally. If you look at someone younger than me and they're grown up, you'll throw up!

"Well, maybe it is..."

Is it unacceptable for many to call themselves "adults" in front of Alfania, which is thousands of years old... Eve seems to have been attacked by such a hunch, but it is unclear whether it is true at all.

Thus the Eves, having completed one of the Elder Bear cases, returned to the underground base with the Alfania they had been looking for.... Well, that way home didn't seem like a glimmer either.
