30. Be thankful from the elves and heroes of the Elves

"We now offer our sincere thanks to Lord Ariake, the Great Sage, for saving our Elf clan from its unsolicited predicament, and hereby set up a seat of celebration. Cheers to our hero, Lord Ariake!

"Cheers!"

"Cheers to Lord Ariake!

"Thank you, Lord Ariake!

"Lord Great Sage!

All the elves gave me a toast of gratitude.

"Check it out"

That's what one lady hugged me for, she's just a little baby.

"Thank you for saving this little life. What can I really thank you for?"

"Well, I've already got it for you. I didn't know you could behave like an elf cooking, did you? That's enough."

"No!"

And here comes Hayes interrupting.

"Enough to this extent, etc., does not allow elf pride. Let me tell you more about my gratitude!

"I thought from the start, you're a hot, bitter man"

The surrounding elves laughed heavily at the words.

A human being who receives so much "thanks for the elves" will have never heard of it before.

Of course, I know it can happen if you're a person named me...

To be honest, I'm not really good at making noise.

"Nevertheless, I wonder why Lord Ariake has banished the brave party so much more"

"Isn't it the other way around, Lord Ariake banished the brave party?

"That's possible."

As the elves were intoxicated, they said orally.

I didn't do that, and I was in a hurry to correct it.

"I see. You mean your husband banished you? I'm not convinced."

"I was convinced, too."

"Me too. I got a chest grip."

Colette, Sella and Hayes get in tune, too.

Oh man, it's not like the facts, so make it right...

"It's small things like whether you were banished or let go. The important thing is that they stopped being so big about me and tried to stand on their feet when they were still immature. It may be funny from the side, but I think it doesn't matter how much you fall. Because you can't even fall without trying to walk. I guess watching little kids walk is also a role for parents."

I have far eyes. Guided by a great being named me, they also had to nest one day. I know you want to keep sweetening me, but they're finally nestled. I have to congratulate the superior on that. as those who stand above them.

"That's right, my husband is watching everyone with a gentle gaze. I guess that means seeing things with a big eye."

"That's a warm, lovely thought, like a natural spiritual god."

"That's true. I would also like to follow Lord Ariake's example in guiding the Elves. We'd like to share more of that wonderful thought and learn more."

"What, it's no big deal. Think deeply about the streets of things, and see from history and the big picture, it's easy."

"That's awesome."

To my words, Elf Chief Hayes sighed as if he had been moved somewhere.

By the way, Hayes tells me to change the subject.

"" Death by death "is the cause, but what the hell was it? What do you know about the Great Sage, Lord Ariake?

To that question, I...

"Because I took too much care of the tree"

Answer immediately.

"To?"

and Hayes raised a strange voice.

"Wait a minute, Master Ariake!

"Yes, I can't believe I can't take care of a tree."

"I don't know what that means! If we protect the trees, the forest will decline. Oh, my God!

Right. And I snort.

"But that's the truth. Hayes, I mean, I stopped logging trees from your generation, but didn't I always do logging before then?

"That's right. Periodically, I was trying to cut trees while opening a certain range. That was the code, so..."

"It's called 'logging'."

"Or logging...?

That's right, I snort.

"If we don't do the logging, we won't get sunlight, and no new plants will grow. Then a bad feeling occurs, the magic vegetables accumulate, and it becomes a hotbed where monsters gather. And even temporarily better, in the long run, the forest will wither away. Then the ground becomes rough and natural disasters are more likely to occur"

"Well, so that collapse... There's been a lot of rain lately."

"Shh, wow. That's the Great Sage..."

"Oh. I didn't know you were so familiar with natural knowledge!

Hayes nodded,

"From now on, I want to change the logging so that we can do it well."

I said.

That would be good.

I just have one question.

"But I want to ask you one thing, why did you all of a sudden stop logging altogether? Elves are a conservative species. I don't think that's bad. I think there are many aspects that would be better, especially if we lived with nature. That's why I doubt it. Why did you suddenly change the rules so far?

"Yeah, yeah. That's because one time a traveler gave me that advice."

"Traveler? Where the hell is that? Isn't it completely irresponsible incompetence? It's no longer a crime."

It's kind of me, but I get a little angry.

"That... is a brave man..."

"What?"

Brave? Where the hell is that...

"A long time ago... There were no great sages at that time, but you did see them for three. We have a covenant with our predecessors, so we trusted our Lord Brave. Even if you didn't say something irresponsible,"

Oh, did you?

I can somehow tell which 3 people are also saying 3. It's true that when you're not on an adventure, you're not basically on the same page.

"If I had accompanied you, this would never have happened..."

"Sure... your husband wasn't there, but you've had the biggest bad luck..."

"If only Master Ariake were here, this would be..."

"As long as Lord Great Sage..."

Colette, Selah and Hayes held their mouths together.

"I'm sorry. It's on me."

"Huh? Well, how could Master Ariake?

Serra is surprised,

"Those are the guys I've been taking care of. I'm like a teacher, so to speak. I'm responsible for all the bad students..."

I deplore the responsibility for something like failing to take care of my child.

However,

"The Great Sage Hall. Please raise your face. It's not Lord Great Sage's fault. And I was impressed."

Huh?

What's this all about?

When I looked up, the other elves laughed,

"That's the Great Sage. You can't normally apologize for someone else."

"Oh, I'm surprised someone's so clean and noble."

"We have to learn how to be Ariake, too."

"Right. The truth is, you have the weight to apologize for what a stupid brave party should do instead."

I said that orally.

"It's just..."

Elf length Hayes frowned and opened his mouth.

"We still have to officially let the country protest about this one. Brave men are guaranteed privileged treatment by the kingdom. Identity. It's like the Knights of the Kingdom. Responsibility arises for words and deeds as a nation. If you ask the kingdom about it, you can't take responsibility as my leader."

"You're right. But they're still immature..."

When I say that,

"But..."

and Hayes continues.

"We will not learn from the greatness of Lord Ariake the Great Sage, and from the indulgence shown to us, and will not condemn the Brave Party in this case. I'm just going to keep it light."

"Right. Grateful."

"What are you talking about!

Hayes feared as he panicked,

"Thank you so much for not returning it."

Exactly. and while Serra agrees,

"Besides, next time you say 'brave man', I'll try to think of you as Ariake."

I said, etc.

"That's good!" "I agree!" "A true brave man!

The other elves agree and thrive,

"Please don't do that! I'm going to retire and slow down!

"You can't keep this up, can you?

Colette ruthlessly twitches.

"That's right, Lord Great Sage. Even if I keep my mouth shut, this kind of hero Tan, rumor spreads from somewhere."

"Please, give me a break..."

I sighed quietly as I approached my booming surroundings.
