I left the village of Eme and took a breath in the carriage.
Diona, who would have looked forward to the timing, spoke modestly.
"Leenhardt will pick you up in the capital."I've already talked to Master Casper.Don't worry, we've already evacuated Merzedes. "
Briefly, but informative, I couldn't react immediately to Diona's report.
Elvira sits beside me before me, repeating the blinks several times.
"Diona, Ma... are the mothers safe?"
“Yes, some of you were injured, but you were safe.”
"Good..." Elvira's face finally caught up with my thoughts.
Elvira's hometown village was attacked.The villagers were able to rendezvous safely with the people of Rustu and took refuge in the city.Afterwards, I thought I could stay in the city of the people of Rustu rather than the capital city, and asked Mr. Casper to ask me -- and Diona reported that "there is a story attached" at the beginning of the opening, and I understood with a few delays.
The people of Elvira's hometown are safe, and I have spoken with Caspell and Leanhard about my journey to the city of the people of Rustu.In other words - at this stage, the conversation seems to be going pretty smoothly.
"Laura, oniichan... thank you very much."
Elvira bows her head to me again.
I responded with a shake of my head in a hurry to the sane figure of her.
"I can only see what's going on."
"No, that's the most reassuring part."
Elvira laughs calmly.I'm honestly glad that you've earned her trust by showing me that smile.
I sincerely hope this smile is not cloudy.If only there were no injuries on the battlefield.
It was impossible not to get hurt more than fighting the Demon King, but I couldn't help but wish for it.
"Elvira, be careful."I know you're a very good sorcerer, but I'm worried. "
Elvira blushes and laughs as she gazes directly in front of her.I didn't say that it looked good, but it was a very radiant look.
"Thank you. If oniichan wakes up, he'll be scolded, so we have to think of an excuse before then."
Elvira says in a slightly foolish tone.
Indeed, she is right that Elvira would be very surprised and perhaps angry to hear that she accompanied a hero on her own journey.However, I think Arnold recognized his sister's prowess, and I'm worried that she helped defeat the Demon King, but I don't think she's going to be angry---that's why Elvira knows better.
I know, but I'm joking around trying to make fun of you.
Let's hear it from Laura.
Elvira looks up at me with eyes that closely resemble Arnold's.
I laughed and nodded.
"Yeah, I'll think of something to say."
The atmosphere was so calm that I didn't think I'd be on my way to defeating the demon king.In other words, the conversation was far too tense, but none of our people blamed us.
Elvira slowly opens her mouth, returning her gaze to her.
"Mom, you look just like oniichan, so I'm sure you'll like Laura."
"Just like Arnold...?"
"I see. The atmosphere is the same as the way you talk."Maybe we'll find out when we meet. "
The way she spoke and the atmosphere were similar to those of Arnold's mother.I wonder what kind of person he is.
Is it similar to Elvira?
"Hmm, people might say that they look alike."Oh, but Mom's not black-haired or black-eyed. This is Dad giving up. "
Her face resembles that of Elvira, and her way of speaking and atmosphere resembles that of Arnoldo.If she's right, her mother may know it when she meets her face.
When I heard that Arnold and I spoke in a similar way, my brain drew a picture of a tall, powerful, beautiful woman.It makes me feel more uncomfortable with that type of person, so I have to be careful not to make them uncomfortable.
--What, Elvira's gentle voice shook the tympanic membrane as she was spreading stupid delusions in her brain.
"The mixing of elves and humans is characterized by the appearance of the human side."But Mom said that neither I nor Onii-chan have any personality similar to Dad.My dad was a bright, serene man. "
Elves and humans - that's what I've heard from Arnold before, so I wasn't surprised.It was the first time I knew that your mother was an elf and your father was a human being.
Rather than that, I was curious to know that Elvira told about her father in the form of the past, and even more so in the form of a hearsay.From what she says, she doesn't seem to know much about her father, but then, it's like--
Whether the question in her mind was still on her face or not, Elvira nodded, "That's right."
"My dad died right after I was born.That's why I only know it in portraits. "
"That's right..."
Arnold had previously told Elvira that his parents wanted to thank him.From the sound of that, I thought that my father and mother were still alive, but it seems that they weren't.
Arnold the Rock may have suddenly hesitated to mention that he had lost a single parent.In fact, even if I had been told at the time, I would have had a hard time answering.
Elvira continued to look at me with a slight look on her face.
"Our village is a village with a bit of a quirky elves, so we might get confused, but we're all good people."
It reminds me of Arnold's words. He also referred to his hometown as a small village of elves.That's like a child of mixed blood between elves and humans.
"I also know about Laura.He saved my life. "
Knowing one way or the other is a little unsettling.I smiled vaguely with a pleasant smile.
Then, once, Elvira shut her mouth.When I think about it, I swim my gaze to find something to say, and after a few seconds, I murmur in a smaller voice than before.
"... so don't worry." If anything happens, we'll all try to protect Laura. "
By the way, Elvira, who searches for words to tell her, knows that she started this conversation because she wants to reassure me.I appreciate that kindness.
I peered into Elvira's face, aware of the unknowing loosening of the corner of my mouth.
Yeah, thank you.
Arnold and Elvira's mother. The villagers they would have dealt with from a young age.
I don't know anyone, but I had nothing to worry about.I was rather looking forward to seeing them.
