"If Count Clayton wanted a favor, I should have talked to my concubine from the beginning. I did everything I could with my mouth."

This is an unpopular forest that has moved a little out of the town of Miaga. We will now head inside the elves, as Lili requested. There's talk of pioneering support, and he wants to thank me for saving the inside.

I've come to cheer the Count, but this one will also depend on the support of the elves, so I have promised to visit him again to spare time.

Count Clayton is taking a deal with the Elves in one hand, and the Elves have no heads up. If you try elves, it's only easier to restrict business to the Count, because there are as many other people as you want to do business with. Yes, Mr. Titos explains it.

On top of that, even though the covenant on mutual defense is situated close to the demonic realm in the elves, it is mostly the elves who are dealing with the demons, and Count Clyton territory has benefited unilaterally over the years.

The roots are suppressed economically and militarily.

I am not at ease with that position, of course, as Count. Organize a larger army than you would normally need with the money you earn from the deal, and set up fortifications, sometimes even expeditions to the demonic realm, always unprepared.

That was a rare chance to sell favors to the elves, but the adventurers took them all.

Without us and other adventurers, the Earl's army would have vanished in time, and there is no reason to be resented at all.

"So you don't need support for pioneering?

It is a little discussion first before moving into the elves at the gate. As much as we talk about pioneering support, we'd better do it right before we talk to the king. Otherwise, the elves are going to come to full support as they collapse.

"Yeah, it's a small village, and you can do it all yourself."

Enough physical appearance that there is a back shield for the elves.

"So how about a mutual defence agreement like the one we have with the kingdom? Even though you can get back at the gate right away, you're worried about the village when you're away.

Mr. Titos offered me an idea. This guy is really good. Even in the last battle, I brought adventurers to save the inside.

"That might be a good idea."

Ellie seems to agree.

As the Count said, I don't have to worry about it at all, although I usually have Mr. Orba and Mr. Nania and a normal degree of demon would be fine. Even though there is metastatic magic, there will be days when we will not be able to return.

It would be a lot more helpful if the elves were to cover it, and if they were to speak of each other, the elves side would also have a benefit. I have anxiety in a different way, but I can't change it safely.

"Right."

Well, for the time being, we'll be resident, so should the elves think of anything in the meantime as insurance?

"Then let's talk to your father, including around it."

"And I stopped by the Adventurers Guild earlier to ask where the Massals were."

And, Mr. Titos.

Oh, so you figured out where we are at pinpoint.

I wondered what was going on with the secret information, but I've told the guild, including about Master Lili, and I guess I decided I could tell you? I certainly don't have a problem telling you.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you ask, you won't get a lot of rewards for making urgent requests! I've arranged for the concubine to pay the full amount properly."

Of course the payment has full elf. In addition to rewarding adventurers, the Alliance itself will be given a considerable amount of money as a reward. There's no way or reason the Alliance leaked our place lightly.

But it is good news that you will be rewarded for your crusade. Only 7 million gold, should have been about 700 million yen. With that, you don't have to work all your life!

Well, you can't buy world peace with money, so you can't hide, but it's a good thing that you don't have trouble with money.

"Thank you, Master Lili"

Let's just say thank you.

"This is a natural reward. Thank you, and thank you from the Elves are provided separately. I've waited so long, why didn't you come? It will be a moment at the gate!

Probably left unconsciously behind. I had trouble getting there. I'm gonna say a ceremony or something.

"I got sick as soon as I got back. You must have fallen into the water moat when you killed the dragon, right? Looks like that was a bad idea. We still need to talk about creating territory after the illness has healed, or we're a little busy."

"If that's the case, I can't help it."

"Then, Master Lili, I'll let you out the gate into the elf."

"Um. Elizabeth, please"

When Ellie's gate is activated, it is already the balcony of the castle inside the elf. Not as popular as last time. I think I'll register here, too. So far, only the tower has registered for the gate point.

"Because this is connected to the royal neighbourhood. Patos gave his father the news. Everybody over here."

I don't know if that's why I don't even have security, but I guess I don't normally assume breaking and entering at the gate, etc.

"Yes, Princess"

Another knight of yours runs to the news.

"We need time to prepare for the ceremony. Let's go to the concubine's room first."

Oh, you do the ceremony after all.

Led by Master Lili, he walks down the hallway of the castle. I couldn't afford to see much when I came before, but the royal residence area of the elves. Luxurious and beautiful.

I'm not very interested in decorations, but I'm concerned about walls and floor stones. It seems white and hard, but it's not marble and the color is close to pearls. Shall I ask you later where I can get it? The construction of a Japanese-style castle will progress if there are white walls and then black tiles. I don't give up on dreams.

A little further down the hall, you will be guided to a luxurious room, where everyone will follow you to a large table.

"Now, there's something I need to do before the ceremony. Titos."

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the more disrespectful I was the other day, the more I would like to apologize on this occasion"

Mr. Titos turns this way on one knee and lowers his head deeply.

"Yeah? Is there something wrong?

Rude? I don't know.

"Be thankful to those who are greatly grateful..."

"My concubine told me that the Massals wouldn't mind, but my father was the crown. Wait a minute, but Massal never shows his face."

"I wanted to go home early because I was tired, and I'm not talking about anything in particular."

Aren't you going to disgust me and show me your face because you sent me home to be driven back without thanking me? He said the story came out and was viewed as a problem.

Sure, I don't feel somewhat driven away, but he insisted that we go home, so there's nothing wrong with that. Rather, this is worse for us when we can come in an instant at the gate but we haven't been here for nearly a week.

"See, isn't this what you say?

"No. Your disrespect for the benefactor who saved the inside. You can't complain about being slashed and thrown away in this place."

"Because we don't care at all. Hey, Masal."

Follow Ann as well. Everyone is pulling on the big story of slashing and throwing it away.

"Yes, yes. It's a little too much to throw away."

"... then at least a mark of apology over me. Please accept."

That said, I put the collar that Mr. Titos removed from somewhere on his neck. Pet play......?

"If you give me a drop of blood here, I will be a slave to Master Masal. Feel free to do whatever you want."

A slave collar?

"No, really, it's not that big of a deal..."

Hiding in his armor, I don't know his whole body, but he doesn't leak in most of the elves, and Mr. Titos has a beautiful face. He's in a sly shape. It's a very attractive offer, but slavery is too much. Although it is a very attractive offer.

"Don't hesitate to take it, do you? Elves have a long life. It was only 5,60 years before Masal died, where he served as a slave, and not as much. If it's not enough on its own, slaves just can't do it, but you can put on a few more. That's all we owe you."

Mr. Titos looks excellent, and he's going to be a fighter.

"Whatever it is, let's build a big building in the elves too. You can stop pioneering the village and live there. If you want an identity, give it a place and meet it as royalty equivalent."

In the Harlem of Elves. Identity in the mansion. I know it's a really fascinating suggestion, but it doesn't interest me as much either.

Stand up, go to Mr. Titos, who remains on his knees, and remove his collar.

"I've conveyed enough of my apologies. You don't need an elf slave or anything, and if you want a house or an identity, you get it yourself."

It is more or less a suicidal act of giving a hand to a new woman in front of her wife. Maybe I won't be angry, but I'm not going to make that bet. It must also be dangerous to get lost or want things here. You can never cheat.

"So what do you want? Is that gold? Then take as much money as you like inside. Honor? Then we will glorify ourselves to future generations as heroes who have saved the Elves."

"Money is enough because you get it from your guild, and you don't need honor"

With that much money, there's no use for it, and if the world can't save it, it's all going to disappear in 20 years.

Of course I forgive you for being festived by a hero. No need for extra clues such as status or honor. I'm just doing the talk of pioneering because Ellie and Ann would love to.

I don't even want it in a world where ruin has been promised, but I want peace for sure. A peaceful world and time to relax with my wife.

"Is it a peaceful world you want? A peaceful place to relax and live happily with everyone"

"Then why don't we just live in the elves? I'm offering you every convenience."

I can't do that. When the world is ruined, there will be no escape here alone.

"There's only peace in the elves, but I'm sure it won't work."

You can't do 100%.

"Uh, I turned it down on my own..."

I also need to hear everyone's opinions.

Regardless of the slaves, the money and the house might not have been a good idea for me to say no on my own.

"If that's what Massal decided, I don't mind."

I thought Ellie would complain about the money, but she doesn't seem particularly dissatisfied either. Well, there's plenty of rewards from the Alliance this time.

"Yeah, no need to thank me."

It was the shrine, the quest, that saved the inside, and I guess that's enough for the cleric and faithful Anne.

"Me too."

"You get what you need"

Neither Satti nor Tirica would say much about wanting something. No, Tirica doesn't just want food.

"Did I tell you? The Massals don't want anything like that. I just didn't think I'd say no to it all."

"Yes, the princess was right"

"But I still have something to take away. This is it."

I removed the expensive looking bracelet that Master Lili had fitted into his arm and placed it on my desk.

"This is an elf treasure with a magic bracelet. What a 50% increase in magic. One of the most powerful demonic artifacts in the world is that the same amount of demonic artifacts can only be passed down to the Imperial Royal Family. It's the best we can offer."

Fifty percent. It's less powerful than the magic ring we're wearing, but if it overlaps, we can use it.

"I'd like to present it, but it's an ancestral product. I want Masaru to return it if possible when he retires from his adventurer."

He says he won't complain if he loses it. The point seems to be the physique that I just lent it to you.

Put it on your arm and check the menu...... no. MP hasn't increased. They don't duplicate demonic props with the same effect.

Remove the bracelet and place it on your desk, shaking your head.

"It's a great item, for sure, but it's an elf treasure, isn't it? I can't take it."

"If you're unhappy with the body structure of granting, I don't mind. You can take it and do whatever you want."

"Princess!?

"It's okay. A wizard like Masaru deserves to have it. Father will forgive me."

I don't have any use for it...

When I realized it, Satie looked at me like she wanted something. Do you want this bracelet? The lack of MP is Sati's problem. But it wouldn't be good if Satie had just put the elf treasure on me that I can't use magic on Loc. Give it up.

"No, it's still not necessary"

"Hmm. Don't you want this too? But I'm in trouble. If you don't thank me, we won't be convinced."

What I want. Time to hang out with my wife.

I don't know about everyone...... ah, tirican food.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the Land King Turtle I defeated?

You wanted Tirica to never eat meat from the Land King Turtle.

"Well, when we went to collect it, all the effervescent mines were taken away."

Yeah, it sounds like a metal worth it, but I don't care about you.

"That's good. What's the main body of the Lu Wang Turtle? I'd like you to divide the meat for a bit of edible use."

"Meat? Is that what you want? It's not very tasty."

"Yeah, but I've never had one."

"If it was the meat of the Lu Wang Turtle, it should be stored somewhere. I'll look for it and deliver it."

"Use Kohlo now."

"You can't eat methyl, can you?

"Don't eat."

Then you don't have to.

"Kohlo is now building a weapon for anti-magic metal and is using it to test its power."

"I'm hiring a Dwarf technician to make a giant barista. If it's done, it'll pierce every piece of anti-magic metal."

Physical attack because magic doesn't work. If the Effilbart mine was taken away, it might come again with the same method of warfare.

"I don't know the details, but incorporating magic into the firing mechanism is going to be incredibly powerful."

"Hey, can I show you later?

"If it's still incomplete, I'll show it to you later"

"Master Masal, is there anything else you need?

"Bye. The Lu Wang Turtle was also defeated by Masaru, but rather disposed of it on his own. I'm sorry about this one."

That being said. Thanks to Lili, there will be plenty of rewards out of the Alliance, and if you can put a mutual defense agreement on the back of the pioneering, that's enough.

"Dear Masaru, please..."

Satti has been hesitant to say. I forgot about the elf soap.

"Elf soap, it's not sold out of stock at the fort. Would you mind splitting it up for a second?

You only got one, but you use it too much because it's fluffy and feels good. I was trying to find out if they even sold it in Miaga town, but I didn't have time to stop by the store at all.

"Alchemists who can make soap now also make potions out of all of them, and they shouldn't be producing them for trading, so let's turn the inventory inside. So, is that what you want?

"That's great stuff. Hey, Satie."

"Yes!"

"Then take as much as you like. I'll provide it whenever it's gone."

"Thank you, Master Lili!

We talked about potions, so we got potions. MP potion is appreciated.

"Why don't you take a look at what we've got for you? Maybe there's something else you want besides soap and potion, huh?

"It was well received by the adventurers, and the Massals may also like something"

"Right. If that's the case."

Was it the treasure trove that led me ahead? Artwork, weapons, jewellery and ornaments, and splendid furniture were packed full of rooms about the size of two classrooms.

The moment the door opens, ooh and everyone speaks up. It's just jewelry and ornaments lined up on the desk in front of you. Each of the elf ornaments sold at the fort store came with a price that could be bought at home. Probably the same thing we have here.

"Is this the treasure trove?

"No way. All we have here is something to give to the Massals. There's more in the treasure trove, isn't there? It's here, so if it's not enough, do you see it too?

"No, the treasure trove is fine, but this is it all?

"Bye. We didn't know what the Massals wanted, so we all prepared things."

"No, but so much..."

"Most things are handmade by elves. Everyone brought it to the hero who saved the inside."

"If the Massals weren't here, the inside would have disappeared. To this extent, I can't thank you enough, but at least not everyone's feelings. I want you to take it."

Handcrafted, but all the works that elf craftsmen, who are long-lived, have wielded their drilled arms over the years, are considered the finest and traded for an expensive price.

But it's a handmade gift. I guess it would be rude to say no.

But what about where I put it as I got it? Even if I were to build more basements and stuff, I'm a little scared to leave these expensive looking items in bulk. This world doesn't have a vault or anything, does it?

"Why don't you keep it here?

"Right. You may take as much as you need when you like. Keep it responsibly."

It's all because of you.

If you look at Ellie or Anne, take it! And he was about to sue with his eyes with all his might.

"Then I'd appreciate it."

"It would be rude not to accept a gift."

"Yes, yes. It's handmade by everyone in the elves."

They both look so happy. I just went to the jewelry and ornament desk and checked it out.

"Don't be shy if Satie and Tirica have something they want, too, okay? You can have all of this."

"Um, give me that."

When Satti pointed to the corner of the room, there were some cloth-wrapped objects there. Is it for sewing? Take it. Take it.

"Cloth. If you want to make clothes, I'll bring you a castle tailor."

"Satie makes her own clothes."

"Hmm. If the material is better, there must be a lot of things that our hunters have hunted in the demonic realm. If there's anything you want, let's get it ready again."

Materials. Something...

"Are there any craftsmen who can make horse gear?

I wish I could get Matsukaze's horse gear normally, but Matsukaze's (large) horse gear was the problem. There's no reason to show a normal person how big the matsukaze is, but they've already seen the dragon in the elves here, and they're probably fine.

If it's the bigger Matsukaze, it seems okay for everyone to ride, and I was hoping there would be some horse gear for it.

"Then there must be someone who can make it. Find artisans."

"Thank you, Mr Titos"

"Horseware and other things would be easy to get. There's really no greed."

I don't think so, but I wouldn't even have to explain it here and now.

Besides, I already got the Harlem I wanted, and that's enough if I can keep that up.

Its harem members Ellie and Ann are friendly with each other in their quest for a mountain of treasure.

Tirica doesn't seem to want anything in particular either, so she's checking the cloth with Sati. Well, Tirica can always tell you what she wants.

Shall I take a look? I have a weapon, and maybe I can take some furniture home. Especially that king size bed with the lid or something. Looks good.
