Half-elves Fall in Love

The accommodation taken by Angelos is a middle-class hotel, even in Schlanz.

Well, being an ancient capital with tourist resources is pretty good, even if it's medium-sized.

"You can't stay very long."

It was high enough for Mr. Deane to look a little bitter when he looked at the rent table.

"Excuse me, but with this number of people including elves, where it's cheap..."

"Just say no."

"... Yes"

Angelos laughs lovingly in an awkward way.

If you do jump in and have eight people, more than half of them Elves, you will look sinister in most of the inns.

No matter how much the trot went down to Celesta, it remains the same that the elves are still not a welcome presence for the trots, and even if they subtract the bias of the managers, just being there is a source of rubbing with other customers.

Swallow there. Guests are only allowed to treat themselves as guests, but in the unlikely event that it becomes an inn that can handle things, it does not serve very well in third-rate places.

"Ho. Isn't that a good idea, or we'll leave tomorrow with the king's capital? This city is just a way to go."

"... you sure do. Isn't this where you really need to stay?"

That's right, but I'm a little sorry I have one.

"I might have liked to go sightseeing for a while"

"You know what?"

Jeanne agreed with me.

"You've never seen a city lined up with so many fine blacksmiths. I wanted to take a look at the workshop and everything."

"... are you interested in blacksmithing, Jeanne?

"There's less dwarf, isn't there?

Reflectively imagine a macho old man full of coal when it comes to Dwarf blacksmiths, but if you ask me, it's not strange to talk about Dwarves that don't discriminate much between men and women, whether they're girls or have blacksmith qualities.

"Sooner or later, if I quit the army, you could be my right arm."

"Ten men will be blacksmiths, too. Right?

"... Didn't I tell you? I'm the blacksmith's son.... well, I'm going to continue soldiering for a while, but I'm going to fold it, retrain the blacksmith, and inherit the blacksmith."

Although I hadn't thought too deeply about it, returning to the polka would also face my awkward and avoided hometown in response.

My father blended into the Celesta Army. He may anger me with a worthless bat son, but if he lets me inherit, or if he tells me to train as a blacksmith again for that matter, I'm going to go back that way when it's time to organize.

"I thought the Ten Commanders were rooted soldiers."

"How do I look at it? That's what happens. That kind of thing is called Angelos."

Angelos was a little flashy.

"Sure, it's only about swords, but it's not so soldier-friendly"

"Huh?

Referring to Angelos, who in the Crossbow squad would say "not for soldiers"?

"So it's for Nani? As your subjectivity."

"... ugh, yeah"

I started to worry.

"... keh, swordsman..."

"A swordsman, not a soldier."

Muggle, and stuck Angelos.

Not a few swordsmen had anything to do with the military, such as labyrinth adventurers and caution sticks, but I didn't very much think Angelos was suitable for those things.

"... So, the... uh, maid?

".................. eh"

"Why are you laughing?"

When I imagined it, it looked surprisingly good on me, so I blew it.

Maid. Maid.

Recently, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with what I've done like a girl. Angelos cleaning in the frizz mini may not be a bad idea either.

But.

"Are you good at housework?

"... that... I'll remember when I need it"

"Well, that's not the right thing to do."

"Ugh."

A little dented.

"... so what do you want me to do?"

"If you're quitting the army, I'm quitting too. After that, you can't blur."

"... well"

... No, wait a minute.

I don't think it has anything to do with this.

"Fair enough. It's okay to think about it then."

Mr. Deane breaks in.

"What do you do with a hundred people?"

"Me.... right, even the doctor will do it again"

"Meh. That's my job."

"My sister will have her own clinic in Tulk."

"Deane said, mean.... when you're ready, Andy?

"Um, no, not about Poi or anything like that. I seriously think you should wait for your husband to come home."

"Bu."

"In that regard, I'm a cheap guy. I used to make herb farms in Polka."

"Ho. Am I supposed to pretend to fly dragon flights every once in a while?

Blossom into a career change story with Wye in the near future.

In the meantime, only Aurora had a head.

"... well, I also have a handle besides the sword..."

but come on, young man.

The next day, with the dawn, he climbs the hill with Ersaho, and boards the carriage again.

In the light of the golden dawn, the ancient capital overlooking from the hills and the fields and orchards around it were once again exceptionally beautiful.

"You look rich this way. It's a pretty hard view for my Celesta with so many deserts and mountains."

Looking at the land of abundance from the entrance of the carriage, Mr. Deane narrows his eyes.

"I wish I could have traded peacefully..."

"Huh?"

"Originally the people of Celesta are highly indigenous. I'm not really into trot land or anything. The last Trot War was, for one thing, just an urgent need for Trot's industrial power. The territory is nearly double across Celesta, with only eight mountains of Dwarf mines. In contrast, the trot is Mt 33. I really needed that industrial power in the fight against the film. But the trot saw our immediate enemy and blocked national traffic."

"So I opened it up in war..."

"Well, Trot had enough Sword Saints and Paladins exchanged for study abroad, because he didn't have a bad relationship with Affilm, and he had a proud Sword Saints Brigade. I guess I had a formula that I could outrun even if I was attacked from either side. I knocked him out....... Andy. Do you know why we do not banish the Trott royal family, do not destroy the Trott kingdom, maintain it in the form of a nation"

…………

"Because we spare no effort to reconfigure Trot's commercial capabilities, offering what we wanted. The commercial capacity of that region declines while the national framework is destroyed. We are by no means a weak country, but neither the power to rebuild a broken country in that way nor to feed helpless refugees can be said to be sufficient. It's an irresponsible story, but Celesta Merchant just wants the Kingdom of Trot to be good at it. We won't be completely territorialized in the future."

"... Really?"

That means I can't be a Celesta unless I continue to completely abandon my hometown and try to naturalize myself.

If I were to hope that we would be together and start our next life, that would soon be a big wall.

Mr. Deane, he just explained and shut up, but the sincerity must be there.

"Ho. Time to fly, okay?

"... oh"

Mr. Deane closes the door.

"Please, Lyla. Just go."

When I ask for Chibi Lyla, who showed up in the carriage, the wings sound bulky from the outside.

"Let's go."

Step by step, we move closer to our future shards.

With a little fear about that.

Then in a few hours or so we arrived near Wang Du.

King Trot Capital is a large city with a population of 100,000 with three Dwarf mines surrounding it.

A Dwarf mine is, as its name suggests, a mine with a Dwarf. I'm talking about a mineral vein that combines massive dwarf colonies, not just mountains, to be exact.

Their mineral detection abilities have miraculous things that transcend magic as well, and the more rare metal they are, the larger the mineral, the more dwarves they gather.

It is called the Dwarf mine when it becomes more than a certain size. Even though this is one thing, there are three things that characterize this king's capital, the capital of the industrial powers.

It is the theory of the blacksmith industry that the sword can only be forged in Wang Du, whether it is the real world of blacksmithing or not, and can withstand the full use of the Great Sword Saint a hundred times.

"You haven't changed from here..."

Looking at the King's capital in the distance, a little scare boils down to his chest at the same time as nostalgia.

The last time I was there was just before the end of the Trot War. Until I was conscripted for basic training. Then a while later, the war ended while he was being trained in action at a position near the border, and he was pulled straight by Celesta. It was seven years ago.

I wonder what is going on with the King's capital as a nation of Celesta. The Three Workshop I was in, the boarding house I rented, the dining room I always ate, the park that often looked at the blurry sky, I wonder what was going on. Has it broken without a trace?

With that in mind, Angelos slapped me on the back with a pound.

"Let's go"

"... ah, oh"

A few kilometers south of Wangdu, near the station of the riding carriage.

Hide our carriage here again and enter the king's capital.

"In the meantime, Aurora will come to command with me. And then... so is Lyla."

"Ho?"

Lila looks surprised.

That's what Lila's presence has always been through in secret. It would be surprising.

"I'm going to get approval for Trot Domestic Activities once and for all, but nominally I'm going to say 'Lila's Inter-Dragon Palace Move and We Accidentally Know It Accompanied by Surveillance'"

"You can say it without hiding it."

"I hope so. If you're bad, Andy will have a surveillance shadow for the rest of his life."

... Speaking of which, it certainly is.

Dragons are still antagonistic to mankind. Whatever the reason, you wouldn't normally let it go as an army if someone rode around it.

"It's depressing. I think I'm going to be a pussy."

"Please don't.... No, go that way. You're magnificent, tyrannical, and you don't care about humans or elves, one of the dragons, I'll go show my face according to my persuasion, but if I disturb you, I'll eat you."

"Ho. I'm telling you, humans are unpopular among dragons to eat, even if they bite to death. Cows and horses taste better."

"That's what I don't care"

"... well, yes."

I can flush it light, Mr. Deane. I can still afford the strong.

"Selene and her sisters will keep an eye out for our cold clothes."

"... Surely from now on the polka is in the snow"

Pom, and a hand slapping selenium.

If you ask me, yes. Basson hasn't cared at all for the past few years because it rarely snows or anything.

"Me and Andy... can we take a look around the capital?"

"Hmm. Well, be careful, Angelos won't have to worry, but Andy won't have one if he gets tangled up in Gorotsky."

"I know, sir"

Angelos salutes with his fist on his chest.

I won't let it loose, I guess it's a sign of intent, but I haven't had it long since I ran out of black armor, so it feels a little tight with my fist on my thin clothes chest.

"You can't be too uptight. Let's go easy, Angelos."

"Ugh, yeah."

Gently slap Angelos on the shoulder to drain him, and we head to the parking station of the ride carriage.

The downtown Wang capital really remained seven years ago, to be clear.

Speaking of things that have changed, there are more than a few elf-born species to see besides our people.

"... wow"

"Yeah."

That's all me and Angelos, who know the old King's Capital, surprises me.

In the past, if half an elf (no one I know can tell from an elf) were to walk without hiding his ears, adults would walk far-fetched with the kind of eyes that saw dirty things, Jizzi would shake up his wand and intimidate him, and children would often throw stones in the funny half.

The elves were even uninvited guests.

"But... where's the elf?

"Huh?"

I say what I wonder.

"If Celesta's white elf gets stuck, it's about a forest dweller, right? But it was in the last few years that soldiers from forest territory came out. There must still be few elves outside the forest."

"If you ask me...... are you kidding me about the Affilm Empire?

"I guess the skirmish is going on, such an idiot"

I can't even go out of my way to ask, me and Angelos think with a far-sighted look at them.

"I'm a resident of Northern Elf Territory. It's Celesta's aggressive trade policy, little by little, but negotiations have started."

"Huh."

I turn my neck in surprise, and Angelos finds himself at a rate that's like turning a picture.

Behind me, there was a young soldier in a beautiful breast plate.

"Welcome to the King's Capital. Is this a trip from Celesta?

He greets Angelos with his hands up gently, not even the wind he cares about at all.

Thin eyes, what a gentle-faced man. You look younger than me.

"Who are you?"

"Haha, did I surprise you a little too much? I was so angry."

The young soldier let the tip and breast plate breasts thumb.

"Trott Royal Army/Royal Sword Saint Brigade 48th Squad member...... that was cool."

Sigh.

The chest badge belongs to the Celesta Army.

"Now the Celesta Army Trot Corps, the 7th Infantry Corps, Ector Randall... do you mean ten men long?"

"Sword Saint Brigade......"

"Yes, this is still Kensei. I'm a little proud of you. No. Was it ace night for the Celesta ceremony? Kensei is cooler, so that's what I'm going to say. When he was, he was Kensei."

Ha ha, and the thread man laughs.

"Kensei, at that age...?

Angelos squeaks as a little surprised.

Only for the Trot Corps, the Trot-style Kensei exam is still ongoing, but now the form alone and the epic title should be Ace Knight.

"Yes. Actually, I'm the last Kensei exam passer. Oh, please don't say donzili or anything."

"I didn't say."

"Haha, sorry, hey, so I was jerked off and traumatized"

What kind of sword sage is that?

…………

Angelos stops getting fit and stretches his spine. Have you decided that this is not the kind of guy who would do harm for now?

"We are Celesta Northern Legion members from Trot. I'm going to go home for a little while, and I'm going to cure his legs at the Polka Spirit Springs."

"Heh. Such a pretty girl."

"He's a light guy. But I don't hate you."

Something Angelos tried to say, but I control it with attitude. In fact, she's cute, so it's a loss to get into a fight when she says she's cute.

"I'm Andy Smythson of Polka."

"... I am"

Angelos got lost for a few moments.

"... it's Angelina Neumann"

I named it a strange name.

"Angelos?"

"... in Celesta I call it that because I was a man's fit, but it was this name while I lived in Trotto"

It's a new fact of shock.

Or Klabes' engraved teacher, what are you, actually, a psychic?

"Neumann"

The threaded man Ector squeaks and twists his neck like that.

"In Mr. Elf, Neumann?

"... that's enough. Me and him are in a bit of a hurry."

"Ah."

Ector grabs me by the shoulder and chases Angelos as he pulls me and tries to walk out.

"I remember"

"I don't know what you remembered, but I'll see you again."

"You, Mr. Neumann's chairman's daughter in Sylphide. Bye."

"No, but another time."

"What!? Wait a minute, please."

Ector chased him to follow.

"Isn't that my permission!

"Huh."

"What?"

Surprise Angelos and face to face.

Ector saw us stop and sighed relieved.

"No, we're talking about what might happen..."

"What do you mean?"

…… Haven't you asked Chairman Neumann yet?

Ector looked strange.

... What's going on?
