For three days between the defeat of the bandits and their arrival in the Greater Forest Zone of Reciana, I was feeling awkward in an extended narrow carriage. There were seven people in the carriage, but the four of them, including me, were my associates, so they accounted for more than half of the confined space.

Besides, Natalia was wary of people other than me, Elle was staring at Natalia, who was close to me, Lucia was cold eyed by people other than the three brave men, and relationships that had been slaughtered anyway had made the carriage atmosphere the worst. So much so that I temporarily sought refuge next to your Lord.

"Speaking of which, what do you do after you get to Reciana?

"I don't know. No one has ever followed us, so we'll have to deal with it on the spot."

"What a fitting story to say you are a messenger of the country..."

Elle whines in a sigh, but tell the king that. I've already seen a wooden elf named Natalia, so I'd say half the purpose has been accomplished.

Well, I'd like to see some high elves. It sounds interesting to find out why he's short lived even though he's named an elf.

Besides, Reciana has a collection of surrounding ground veins, so I'd also like to take a look at the magic buildup that should probably be on a considerable scale. Must have something to do with high elves, too.

"I don't think humans are welcome in Reciana, but don't be offended, okay?

"Rumors have it that humans will be killed, but what about the truth?

"That's what happens to people who come in on their own, but they won't be killed if they get in through a proper, regular entrance. It's not just that there's an inn like a human town, so just be careful there, okay? If you don't like Nojuku, you should come home alone."

Natalia suggests to me with a happy voice. But if I stayed at her house alone, she would surely attack me. I'd at least like to just let Elle in, but if I let her stay and have a problem with it, which is creating a sinister atmosphere, that's the only obstacle to the mission.

"... let's think about it"

"Yeah, you'd be welcome."

Don't let your wife invite a man lightly even though her husband might be alive. Put that kind of penetration inside.

I left it yesterday, so she follows me when I do. What if I were to stay in her room?

I stopped the carriage in front of Reciana. I can't get a carriage in from here, so I'm walking on. He said he'd be waiting for us in a nearby town.

As I dropped off the carriage walking away, I quickly tried to start going inside Reciana, but Natalia grabbed my hand and stopped.

"Wait, they'll shoot you when you get in from there. The entrance is this way, follow me."

She followed Natalia as she was pulled, and after a short walk she stopped. But there's nothing like an entrance.

"This is the entrance. I'll show you to the settlement where we live, so you can follow me later. You can't just go off the road, can you?

Even if it's called an entrance, I don't know how it's different from where I was earlier. I think Sagami might know about this, and I'll take a look at that one, but he's shaking his head, too. Other humans react the same way.

Whatever confused us, Natalia went into the woods and Elle followed her. I rush after her so she doesn't lose sight, but there's no way to walk, so it's not hard to walk. Even though the elves are making great strides along the normal path, this one is the best way to catch up.

"Master, are you all right?

"It's not okay. Why are you walking flat in a place like this..."

"I don't care why they say... the elves can walk normally, even if the scaffolding is slightly worse"

"What an enviable ability..."

I find myself a little frustrated by the flat look of it as I step back and watch Elle go along at my pace. Elves would be too convenient for a lot of things.

Looking behind him, Lucia was considerably behind. It seemed harsh in the woods with poor scaffolding for her growing up a lady. I think if I stay like this, I'll fall down before I get there, and I'll go beside her.

"It'll be pretty hard, but does it look okay?

"Ha, yes... I'm fine... Ha, ha..."

Whatever you think, it doesn't look okay, so I decide to take her on my back. No matter how light she weighs, the weight for each human being is pretty hard. I managed to follow him with a lot of sweat, desperate thoughts.

I kept going at a high pace through the woods and after a while I went out to a place where the woods opened slightly. Apparently, this is the settlement. There are several cabins made of wood there, and you can also see some elves.

I saw us show up, and the elves are dew their guard. Nothing strikes me all of a sudden, but I stare at this one as if I hate it. What an intimate atmosphere.

Natalia runs toward them amid subtle tensions. The elves were surprised that an unexpected figure appeared, but immediately welcomed her with a voice of joy.

"Everybody's home."

"Good, you're safe!

"What happened to the other guys?

"I don't know. Because there was no one else where I was caught..."

"Right...... Speaking of which, what happened to Levin?

"I don't know that either. They may have sold it, they may have died..."

The elves are exchanging information with each other. Summarizing the stories that can be heard here, apparently Natalia and her husband Levine, several other elves, were part of the caravan of the deal, but Adriana and the others attacked her there and some elves were caught.

Because of that, they have increased their hostility to humans and are currently suspending the deal. He didn't do anything to kill us instantly coming in through the entrance, but he's been following us since some elves went into the woods so he can kill us at any time.

I hadn't noticed the lookout at all, but if I could move that much lightly in the woods, covert action would be easy too. Let's be a little more vigilant.

Looks like we're done talking about the elves, and some of them approached us. I'd like to think it's caution when you're all armed.

Alec and Sagami are also putting their hands on their gains so that they can fight immediately when Isa is called.

"Wait, those humans brought me here. Besides, that magician is the benefactor who saved me by defeating Adriana. They didn't come here to hurt us."

"Sorry, you hadn't even said hello yet. I was awarded the Baron position in the Kingdom of Henrient, says Alec Roy Gilfrea. Those behind me are my people. I came here to Leciana to form an alliance with the elves who live here."

"You think it's our alliance with humans? I don't think you should dream much."

"If it's to beat the Demon Empire, let it happen even in dreamy stories. I'd like to talk to someone who's ruling this forest, could you show me around?

"You're here on your own. We can look for them ourselves. But don't rub it."

The elves, who refused Alec's favor, left as they were. Apparently it wasn't a fight, but the elves here definitely hated it.

I sneaked up on memory browsing (psychometry), but how dare anyone in this know where the high elves are. I have remembered the location of the other settlements once, so I will have to explore them depending on allowances and.

It's time for the sun to go down, so we need to get to bed, but we don't have an elf that's going to let us stay. They're going to be pretty cold this forest night, so I had no choice but to negotiate for Natalia to stay.

"There's only one bedroom, but I think we can sleep two people in the living room and one in the kitchen. And then there's the warehouse. If you don't like it, stay in the wild."

"Then what about me, Lord Sagami and Lord Yard, who are going to use the living room and the cooking area and ask the women to use the warehouse?

"How many stupid things are you talking about? If you're a man, go into the warehouse like a man. Give way to the girls in the house."

"Irrational..."

"Well, Lord Alec. I think it's a gentleman's job to give this place to a woman."

Eventually, Alec's maid and Elle were in the living room, Lucia was in the cooking area, and the rest was in the warehouse. Alec looks unconvinced, but Sagami seems to be good in the warehouse.

Natalia gave me a treat for dinner. However, the flavour did not taste due to the fact that few seasonings were used. He flattened the dish as if it were raw vegetables and headed to the warehouse.

Even when it comes to warehouses, the doors can be closed, so the cold is considerably soothed. I just don't have a blanket. I have to lay the straw, wrap it in straw and sleep, but Alec is in the worst mood because of it.

Is Sagami used to this, too, making beds out of straw? After all, military men are smarter in these places.

When I tried to make a bunk too, Natalia came to get me.

"Yard, you're not this way, are you?

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"What do you mean... okay, follow me"

"No, I'm fine here."

"Is this my house? Just follow me."

Deciding that being mean here would not pull her off, she follows her hard and enters the house. The women were offered a blanket, so it seemed a few steps warmer than the warehouse.

Cross them into the bedroom. There was just one bed inside, and there was no other bunk. Closed the door, she's already excited and dyed her cheeks red. I put my hand on this chest and brought it back gently.

"You've come this far, you can expect...?

I feel like I could ride her invitation here, but if I were her now, I'd feel bad about Elle and the two brave men. Especially Elle.

You should stop being unfaithful until you find out about her husband's life and death. A grudge is a horrible thing. Unfortunately, she doesn't have enough value to take the risk of not knowing when to get stabbed and get her hands on it.

"You must have a husband. I'm glad you invited me, but it's just a temporary emotion"

"Don't say that, hold me"

"I'm sorry, but I didn't come here to play either. I don't want to imitate it like it's a waste of risk."

"... yes, I get it"

If you stay away from me, you'll fall straight into bed. He's pressing his face, but from where his shoulders are shaking, he seems to be crying.

"I'm sorry, I don't want you to see my face, so get out..."

Don't look at this one. Nodding at the words I said, I leave her bedroom. You stopped putting up with me when I closed the door, I heard her cry.

I didn't know you were going to get that far because I said no, but if her husband were alive, it would be quite a training ground. It's bad for the guy I haven't seen yet, but I hope he's not alive.

When I felt my gaze and looked at you, El and the maid looked seriously at this one. If you think I came right out after I went in, now you hear Natalia crying, so this sounds like you think Natalia's been shaken.

The eyes of the maid looking at me were filled with scorn, as if looking at the enemy of a woman, but Elle's gaze seems somewhat more delightful. Did you believe I wouldn't ride her invitation?

Exposed to the sight of both of us, I headed to the warehouse to escape. I saw that I was back. Alec had turned a sympathetic gaze on me, so I just looked grumpy and lay on the bunk I'd made earlier, not saying it was out of my heart.

The next day, I was supposed to leave early in the morning, but how dare Natalia tell me she's getting there too.

"I think it would be better if I followed the elves without being misunderstood."

"What are you talking about! Where do we need to make it convenient for the humans?

"That's right, Natalia, it's not about being allowed to go with these guys or anything!

"You don't think it's bad for Levin!

The other elves are eating the opposite, but she hears their words in the wind.

As for this one, I think it would be more convenient for her to follow me, but some people are somewhat against her company. Elle naturally thought he'd disagree, but what a sagami he seems to disagree with.

I didn't see any bareback whatsoever about hating her or anything like that, but I thought it might have been something inconvenient, and I snuck up on Sagami.

"Why do you disagree? It's safer to have her in this forest. Naturally, I thought you'd agree with me."

"Hmm, I'll tell Lord Yard. The reason she shouldn't follow is because she suspects you and her friends"

"... you mean that. Sure, she invited me, but that's like an elf habit. Besides, I told her I would never get along with her like that during this assignment."

"Even if you're better, she's more of a problem. I know the elf's tantrum, but I hear it's so hard to hold him down with reason. Don't you think it's too late for something to happen? Besides, her husband is probably still alive."

"... what?

"Try not to tell anyone else about this. That's the name of the elf I heard about Leciana, but it was the same name as her husband, Levine. I don't know why I was in the King's Capital, but I can't shut up and overlook working infidelity any more than I could possibly live."

"Sure. Some elves have been sold, so it's not strange to have her husband in Wang Du."

What a coincidence. If it were really her husband, would I have been one step ahead of the affair? I'm still glad I didn't get flushed by the atmosphere on the spot.

But when this happens, it's not a good idea to take her. I'm out of my mind, but I may not be able to resist being attacked in the sleep like Elle one day. I don't think we can expect chastity from other people, either.

"I can't abandon my life's benefactor! Just leave me alone!

While I'm talking to Sagami, it looks like that one's coming to an end.

Natalia ran into the woods after shouting. Some elves went after him, but he hasn't caught up with Natalia's foot speed, so he'll get away with it within.

We decided to leave before she came back. I'm sorry for her, but after I heard about Sagami, I disagreed with her following me. Elf's mental strength is higher than that of a human being, but he can't be trusted at all when it comes to his tantrums.
