Sleeping on a soft sofa, I pick up the surrounding sounds with my ears from outside the room, with a shallow consciousness in a rush of footsteps.

Dear Elnea! Why are you in such a room!? Rest in your room if you need to!

"Don't be hard on me. After all, guests rarely come to the closed country of Elves. If you come, you may as well make other rooms available. You look rather tired than that, but what's the matter? And your kid seems to be crying, but what's the matter?

Sleeping in a familiar voice, your consciousness turns towards you.

Ernie must be talking in front of the door.

Outside such an open door, you can hear the girl's swallowing voice mixed up and wake up scratching sleepy eyes from the sofa.

"It's tough! On our way, the Witch of Creation is missing!

"What!?

"He disappeared three days ago! The Spirit created the Virtual Statue and was captured some time ago! We are currently sending a search request to the Knights of the Castle!

"Even though they are important guests... let's help them find concubines with the spirits!

I was feeling pretty well and my magic was half restored. I was walking towards the door with my wand.

"What's the matter, Mr. Elnea?

"Kids, are you awake? Looks like there's a missing person in the woods, and my concubine may have to take the lead. You should wait in this room for a while."

When I looked at the person I was talking to from outside the door, I saw the person I was talking to.

"... ah"

Next to Ultia, who opened her eyes with surprise, there was a tete crying with a witch ~ and a witch ~.

Good morning, Teto, Mr. Altia.

Ma, witch ~!

Teto hugs me in tears and sticks a butt mochi on the floor of the room.

The surface of my face is cracked because I have been crying for a long time or because I have lost the moisture that makes up my body.

How long did you keep crying until you found me?

I feel guilty because I was sleeping on the sofa.

"Teto, calm down and drink as much water as you cry."

"Great! Witch, I'm glad you're safe!

I'm kind of glad to see you again, but the look on Altia's face is steep.

"No way - was it Ernie himself who took Chise away!?

"It's not a misunderstanding. My concubine just brought her here to protect the fairy kid! Never do that!

I will explain the situation to Mr Elnea, who will turn to me and ask me to help her.

Being grabbed by a fairy without realizing it, sleeping in a closed space and sucking on magic.

The space seems to have a different flow of time, and only three days have passed in the real world.

Ernie shows up, scolds the fairies who sucked their magic and promoted them to Intermediate Spirits, and brings me here to protect them.

"Has Ernie done anything rude?"

"Rather, it made me feel better. It's just because it looks like this, I treat it like a little kid."

She made Teto drink the beverage in the magic bag and said to Altia, forgiving.

"I'm sorry, Ernie, but I feel comfortable dealing with someone equal to the Lord of one country....."

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it if I didn't know. In the first place, it was the fairies who grabbed it on their own. However, I heard that the witch of creation who came to my concubine was over 70, but I didn't hear that she had grown old in her childhood figure."

"Chise, the [flying carpet], is also famous for its appearance."

"He's been alive for over 2,000 years, so he doesn't deserve that kind of detail. First of all, when I see you, I know who you are."

In the first place, since the spirits have passed by so far, there is no problem with it... and Altia expresses a lukewarm expression to Ernie who waves his hand.

Somehow, Ultia looks like a hard worker.

"Now, let's introduce ourselves again to the children - no, to the Lord of the [Vain Wilderness]. My concubine is Eltar, queen of the forest kingdom. And this is..."

"I am Altia, the aide to Her Majesty Queen Elnea."

Somehow I had anticipated before and after the conversation, but was Ernie still the queen of the high elves?

And Altia seems to be in a higher position than I thought.

"This is the chise of a witch who came from the Vain Wilderness."

"... thank you for finding the witch. It's teto."

When Teto and I lowered our heads, Ernie nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm. Chise and Teto, that's a good name. It's rude to call me a child when I hear your name, but I can change my name to Chise... and perhaps you'll have a long relationship with the elderly. Can I call you Chise?

I don't mind, Your Majesty.

When I say so, I make my lips as cute and pointed as if they were rotten.

"You can just call it abandonment.... but it will be difficult to be personally. Then I don't mind if you keep it simple."

"Are you sure?

"Good good, my concubine doesn't like to be tough. Besides, I like cute guys."

"... Kohon, Your Majesty"

With that, Altia coughs up and murmurs in a low voice to Ernie, who is reaching out to stroke Teto's head with me.

You don't like calling His Majesty, but you can pull your hand in while you don't like it.

"Why did you grow up like this even though you were so cute when you were a little girl?

"Kuh, please stop talking about your childhood, it's embarrassing!

Ultia blushes her face and roughs her voice against Ernie, who lies and crys.

I felt that I could see the relationship with Ernie in the expression of Ultia that I couldn't see during the trip.

"In the meantime, we'd like to leave this room for the two of you. When you're ready, let's get back to the meeting."

Then the queen of the elves left the room, and then Tete hugged me without leaving me.

"Witch, I want you to stay away."

"It's okay. I'm glad Teto's safe."

"Teto, good luck."

When I heard the story, it seemed that he had been running for three days and three nights and had come here.

"I really wanted to find the witch right away. But I came here thinking of a witch."

"Yeah, well done. I didn't make the right decision."

Teto, who praises, finally laughs from her crying face, hugs her and goes to sleep.

Considering the secondary distress to Teto, I can only praise Teto for choosing a reliable method like this one, and thank Ultia for retaining such a tet.

And if Ernie hadn't found me sooner, I wouldn't have been able to see Teto sooner in the morning.

Then, while thanking, I combed Teto's sleeping hair with a hand comb and waited for Teto to wake up.
