― ― After seeing a solution to the monster intrusion disturbance, it was time to move around the city, but the Elf people, including Mr. Inglit, refused to do so.With the power of the demon king in Arnold, the possibility of the demon king knowing the location would come out.
The city has allowed the monsters to invade twice, and the people of Rustu will be abandoned in one stroke.If you allow monsters to invade other cities, you'll have to abandon them.And it seemed to me that the people of the village of the Elves had regard for the people of Rustu.
I offered to move the city alone, but I refused.It is not necessarily the case that the trouble like this will not happen again.At that time, I hope that I can help you again.
"Laura"
During the work in the concoction room, the caller looks back.A big dog sat with this big bag in his mouth again.
"Akari! I'm sorry I asked you to use it."
"No, I'm glad I helped."
Once the bag is received, the water spirit, not the dog sitting on it, returns to its familiar puppy form.Looks like you've recently mastered the art of altering your appearance.
(I wonder if I can let the spirit-sama do this.....)
Inside the bag were letters from Lukash and an empty bottle of used healing medicine.Even the vessels held by the people of Rustu could exchange things, but when exchanging large quantities of luggage, "this" was the most efficient.― ― What a punitive measure to let the spirits carry the luggage.
The acorns don't look bad at all, but instead carry their luggage happily, so they are persistently spoiled.I'm sorry, but I think I have to use all the means available to me now.
Would you like to slow down a little bit?
Ask Akari to look up.Then the puppy spun around with joy.
In the meantime, I will strip the fruits of the city and offer them to you.That way, the acaricus began to eat vigorously, just as she said she had been waiting.
Even though you don't have to be in such a hurry, the door is knocked on as you smile at the cheerful appearance.When I replied, Mr. Merzedes came in.
Laura-chan, it's lunchtime-oh!
She notices the presence of the acaricus and approaches with her eyes shining.The acaricus also heard the footsteps, lifting his face from the plate as he moved his ears.
Merzedes and Akari have been in the same space several times, but this is the first time they've faced each other like this.
Well, well, you're the rumored acari-chan?
The puppy replied cheerfully, perhaps reacting to the name Acari.Then Ms. Merzedes lowered her head to the puppy.
“Elvira's taking care of you.”
"Elle, how are you?"
Well, really? I'm glad you told me.
Still a long way off, but I was able to have a lot of conversation - I was watching Merzedes and Akari's conversation as if they were mothers.
After a few exchanges, Merzedes stands up and says, "Yes."And winked at me.
"You should eat here for lunch, right?" I'll get it for you. "
With that said, Merzedes leaves quickly without giving me time to speak up.When I followed his back with my eyes, I saw the time of the clock that was placed next to the entrance door.It was just lunchtime. You must have asked me for lunch.There was an acaricide there, so he gave me a distraction and suggested we have lunch here.
I'm sorry, but I'm worried about leaving Akari alone, so I wait quietly for Merzedes to come home.
The acaricus seemed to have finished eating its fruits in time and moved to the window.And when you calm down in a sunny place, you stretch a lot.
Not very well-behaved, but I sat down beside the acorns.And when you bathe in the sun, you'll be drowsy.Warm, laid-back, clinging, stretching...
Oh my, is it sunny?
Because she was so dumb, Merzedes called out from behind, and her shoulders shook.Looking back, she had a lunch box.
I shake off my drowsiness and rush over to Mr. Merzedes in a hurry.And I got the lunch box.
"Yes, yes, thank you for lunch"
"You're newborn, aren't you? It's cute, like a baby."
Merzedes crouches down near the acaris, where he keeps laying in the sun.
I wonder if the Elves are involved, but even though I met them for the first time, Akari seemed to be relaxing next to Merzedes.
Elle, how are you? Aren't you bothered?
"Wow, Wentle, I'm praising you."
"Yes, thank goodness."
I think I saw Merzedes breathing relievedly.I'm sure she's worried about Elvira for Arnold.
No matter how strong the magic power, Elvira was still a child.Ms Merzedes' anxiety was plausible.
--After that, I had lunch with Ms. Merzedes, who finished the chat with Akari.The lunch box contained warm soup and hard bread.
Unexpectedly, it seems that I'm hungry, and I'll finish eating it in no time.I wanted to ask Mr. Merzedes, who had his eyes wide open as if he was impressed that he was "early."It could happen because Arnold used sealing magic, just in case.
I waited until Merzedes finished his meal and started talking about the timing.
"Um, Merzedes-san. If Arnold uses sealing magic, from the land of the Elves......"
I didn't ask if I was going to be banished.
I've been thinking about this since I heard about the Elf heroes who were hunted down the other day.The hero was banished for using seal magic and sealing the Demon King's weapon.And this time, Arnold--
Even though she was speechless, Ms. Merzedes seemed to raise my doubts without making a difference.He nodded with a strange look.
"That's right. As an elf, I may not be able to live anymore."
It was the answer I had imagined.But once again, I'm driven by the thought of being an outsider.
Arnold's behavior this time should be praised as normal.A hero who stood up and contributed to the demon king's weakening.But judging from the Elves, Arnold is considered a forbidden sinner.
“But,” Merzedes shouted brightly, encouraging me to sink.
"It would have been much more human than elves originally."As an elf, I'm a protagonist from the beginning, so I don't think I'll have any trouble myself.Don't you think so? "
That's true.If you're going to continue to live as a royal concoctor, you won't spend much time in the land of the Elves.But still, I think it's a bit unfortunate that they don't recognize me as my hometown.
But this is my selfish sentiment.If Arnold himself doesn't care, there's no right for outsiders to interrupt.
Maybe.
She smiles softly at Melzedez, who looks after us.Then she deepened her smile.
Arnold and Elvira may be banished from their homeland because they are “too good” to use sealing magic.I don't know if they have the personality to care about that, but I think it's ironic - I met Daemon's question why Rocco's siblings have so much magic power in the first place.
Yes, I've always wondered. Why do they have stronger magic power than other elves?― ― Half of that body was covered in human blood, not elves.
Elvira and Arnold are powerful elves, aren't they?
"Yeah, those two are special."
"Why is that...?"
Elvira shook her head with a bitter smile.
“I don't know why.It's true that your mother was a very good sorcerer, and your father was also from the Knight's house..... "
According to Merzedes, Rocco's siblings draw brilliant blood.And while the seal magic was limited to the elves in the village, only Arnold and Elvira could use it.The pure Elf's mother, Inglés, could not use it either.
Mixed blood is more magic than elves.Is that a theory, or is Rocco's sibling a "mutant"?
It seems that Merzedes-san had a difficult face as he thought about it. He poked his eyebrows with his fingertips.
"There are few cases of mixed-blood children, and I don't know how blood can make a difference.Maybe it's nothing like us, or maybe it's just like the humans.You may be different again..... "
Because they were in a village where people gathered only because they were mixed, it is certain that the children of mixed blood are different.In fact, I've never met anyone but Arnold and Elvira.― ― Even so, the pointed ears inherit the characteristics of the elves, so even if I were to encounter them, I would recognize them as elves.
Ms. Merzedes leaned her head against her chin and laughed.
"After all, I don't know anything."
I don't know what Mr. Merzedes doesn't understand.I laughed at her beautiful smile.
"Do you care about Laura?"Mixed blood... it's all I don't know. Isn't it creepy? "
On the contrary, when asked, I said, "No!”He shook his head wide.
I've been wondering.Just because I don't understand it doesn't make me feel weird.However, in response to Ms. Merzedes' question, I thought that some elves might have "that kind of perception".
A mixed race with a stronger magic power than their own, even though it contains the blood of another race.No one knows why.I don't know-- scary, creepy.
Like banishing those who can use seal magic, the Elves may be a species that fear great power.Do you want to get rid of what is in your hands and keep the peace?
I didn't know how it felt.But for me, it had nothing to do with the race or the strength of my magic.Arnold is Arnold, and Elvira is Elvira.
"I've never thought of that before."
Merzedes seemed to be satisfied with my answer, and he thanked me happily.
Merzedes, in a good mood, starts cleaning up after lunch, singing his song.I stood up to help with that, too.
Why are Rocco's siblings so powerful?To be honest, I still have my doubts when Merzedes says, "I don't know."But I don't think there is an original answer.There must be as many talented people as you can find today.There was no deep meaning, just "yes".It's not an inevitability given by God, it's just a coincidence.Coincidentally, both of them were given magic power that allowed them to use sealing magic.
Yeah, I'm sure it is.
When I was satisfied with finding my own conclusion, Merzedes suddenly leaned over.And whispering confidentially.
"If Arnold wakes up, scatter him."Laura has that right. "
Is that a right?
"You haven't properly thanked Elvira yet, have you?"Not only that, but also this time Arecolette. "
As for Elvira, I received a treat from Arnold as a thank-you, but I might say that I definitely increased my lending in this case.
But it's not easy to think of anything in return.I am in the midst of being troubled by Inglés saying something similar.
"I haven't thanked Laura yet!"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. "
What I need your help with, Mr. Merzedes - I'm going to have to think about you.
She has a home in the big city of Sittenhelm, the city's concoctionist.There may come a day when you want to help as a mentor to a local town's concoctionist.
Um, about the guidance of the city's concoctions--
I'm going to tell Melzedez a story about a future that is still incomparably more concrete.Then she smiled and promised to help.
