That was an elf woman no matter where she looked from. But something's different. Like this… elegant or its elves with a clean atmosphere. I look at the color of my hair with clarity, but it's gold hair close to white. Very similar to Daniela's hair. Is that a white elf?

"No... that's the ancient elf..."

Daniela remembered what happened after Adoras told me I was clean. White elves are the direct line of ancient elves. If that story is true, it would mean that the woman with this platinum hair in front of her is an ancient elf. Situationally, there's no reason for a white elf to come out in a place like this.

"Detect an elf reaction inside the central intruder. Moving from Interception Mode to Interaction Mode '

"Huh...?

People's voices, but somewhere mechanical.

I sound familiar to this voice. [M]

"This is Facility One Hundred Twenty-Fifth Recellent Ribble. state your requirements. '

A woman in the light asks. I have a voice in my ear, but I was full of other things.

"This labyrinth... the structure of the facility has changed and the monster is coming out to the ground. I want to do something about it."

'Currently, an intrusion into the centre is confirmed and the interception mechanism is in operation. After 168 hours of activation, the facility will be automatically initialized'

"Can't we do something about draining monsters?

'The function of managing experimental animals is faulty from what I've looked into. It'll take 12 hours to repair.'

experimental animals, consciousness is drawn back to the word. Are those monsters experimented with and produced by ancient elves?

'I affirm. It was an experiment that led to the solution of the food problem. "

"After all, are you an ancient elf"

'I can't affirm it. We're elves, but we've never called ourselves ancient. "

"We are human beings who live a thousand years after the time you lived. From our point of view, you are the past."

'... I see, confirm the passage of time. Indeed, it is now A.D.1425. It's been about 1,000 years since we founded this facility. "

I don't know what year A.D. is based on, but she found out a thousand years had passed since she was created.

'It will be good. Change your name to Ancient Elf to coincide with this era. Reinforce your purpose. Facility initialization. This will be done automatically in 168 hours. At that time, the structure inside the facility will change around this location. We recommend eviction within 168 hours'

"Okay. Evacuate immediately."

I want to ask you something. But not now. 168 hours, that is, seven days, a week from now, this place will be back on track. We need to let those who have been imprisoned in the labyrinth escape by then.

"Facilities that have protruded above the ground will be buried underground and the areas currently exposed to the ground will disappear. Under stricter security and defense, future incursions by ordinary people will be denied. '

"What...?

"You mean to be abandoned...?

'I deny it. Rather than ruin, the expression "further land" is appropriate.'

That's worse than ruins......! This town of Leserent Ribble is going to be further?

"But there's nothing we can do."

"That's right..."

"Priority should now be given to letting people escape. Didn't I?"

"... you're not. We have to hurry back to the Empire and call the army and do something with man-made sea tactics"

That said, I don't know if the army will move. All of the damage done in a labyrinth disaster is self-inflicted. It's your own fault, even if you have a life in front of you that you can save.

"I'll take care of that."

"The manager?

"What, those eyes? You suspect me?

"No, that's not why..."

"I know a couple of former adventurer military men. There's no harm in multiplying it."

I have that kind of handover too.

"Then I'd like to ask you too, but I'll write to you later, so I want you to give me that. Maybe it'll reach that person."

"Hmm...... ok. Leave it to me."

It's Mr. Thames, Captain of the Dark Side. He would surely help.

Once, I decided to get out of the center. I can feel you staying inside too much. I don't seem to be the only one who felt like he was trampling and vandalizing Mr. Ancient Elf's private room. Still, he said the road to the center was in the center, but he wasn't. From the voice I heard when I walked into the room, the word 'mode of dialogue', I think the trap would have been activated had it not been for Daniela, the elf. So, does it mean that the other side is the center? Is the holographic demonic prop an object like that stone tablet? The mystery only deepens. That's why I went outside.

"First Lindo returns to the Imperial Capital. Ask Lemon to accompany you just in case. Do you mind?

"I'll be fine."

"Me too."

"All right, then give me a minute"

Daniela gives me a hand. [M] I wonder what it is. Look at the palm of your pointed hand, but you're not on anything.

"Hmm?"

"I call Rachel. Give me your keys."

"Oh, I see. Surely the fastest is his space."

That front door space should allow you to return to the Empire in an instant. Remove the key from the empty bag. The manager and Lemon look at it strangely, but Daniela poked and twisted it into the space without explanation. Then the space was distorted and a familiar alley emerged.

"Wow!"

"What is this!

"It's a magic prop of dimensional magic. It connects me to where I know him. Follow me."

Me and Daniela go in normally, but the two come in terrified. I was scared the first time I got lost here. I don't know what that means.

We're in the alley. We open the window right there.

"Japanese-style room..."

The manager's whining was oddly funny, but not if he's laughing.

"Racheloo? You're not here?

"Yeah? What is it, you?"

"Ooh, master. Can I ask you a favor?"

"I'm busy, too. It's always up to you...... hmm? What, are you Harlem after all? Ha, you look like an asshole!

"No, it's not. Seriously, seriously."

"Hmm, he's not a tough guy. Well, let's get in. Ash elves and Japanese people there, too. Totally pompous, pompous, pompous, pompous, pompous, pompous, pompous, pompous.

Store manager who is said to be Japanese and freaked out. Daniela comes first, followed by me, and the manager and Lemon come in terrified.

"Oh, excuse me."

"Excuse me......"

When the table is surrounded by five people, the water is gently swallowed. Looking back, the werewolf Lehatti was gently smiling with a basin.

"Long time no see."

"Yes, it's been a while"

From Lehati, who smiles like that, there was no dust in the atmosphere like interpersonal phobia before. I guess my life with Rachel made me get rid of that. The wolf ears I haven't seen in a long time are also pinned and really cute.

"So?"

Rachel sipping tea looks grumpy at this one.

"Actually..."

Then I told him about what happened until today. The Labyrinth disaster. About the ancient elves. Deadline for disaster resolution. Speaking of everything, Rachel waved to a sigh mix when she heard. Nothing happens.

"I've set the front door near the Imperial Capital, so you can go from there. But it's a one-way street. Run for the Resellent Tribble."

Thank you, Mr. Rachel.

"Well, it's good to be back home."

"... after all, is Mr. Rachel Japanese?

"Ex, yeah. I'm just a demon now."

"Demons......"

"Rachel is an 800-year-old wolf. They say he was reincarnated into a wolf."

Turn into a speechless Rachel and explain it to the store manager. I don't want to talk much. Rachel turns to me dissatisfied, but I've met a handful of Japanese. I want to share information with the store manager.

"Thank you...... it's good to see you. I want to talk to you again slowly."

"If I had a chance. Yes, go."

Rachel waved firmly, but the manager nodded contentedly and took Lemon out the window.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Khaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

... I sighed when I heard the screams for both of us disappear into the sky. Rachel chuckles as she comes around.

"You're gonna hate me."

"Hmm, you know what? So, what can I do for you?

Rachel looks at me like she's bored, as she sees it.

"There is. I'm not sure yet, but I need you to hang out with me for a second."

"Disgusting...... Leselent Tribble or not?

"Yeah."

Still, that ancient elf has something to ask. That's none of my business. Rachel has something to do with it. It also concerns the store manager. And now he's gone, so is he.

Me and Daniela walk out the window to return from the entrance space to the dungeon with Rachel. Lehatti had been entrusted to leave a message.

Well, I guess I'll just be a minute.

"Yes...... please come back soon?

"You lonely bastard... you're making a big deal out of me"

That's all I'm saying, Rachel comes out the window, too. I walked straight down the alley for a little while and came back from a broken spot to the dungeon. Me and Daniela head straight to the door, but Rachel looks at the neighborhood with interest.

"Hmm...... Hmm. This place is close to the dragon vein."

"You know what I mean?

"You know that, don't you?

"Uh... I forgot because I've only experienced the feeling of the dragon vein once"

"He can't help it."

"Asagi, Rachel, you're going inside, right? We don't have time. Let's go."

Thanks to Rachel, we were able to make a significant shortcut, but that still doesn't change the fact that it's finite. Rachel continues after me. [M] Me and Daniela push the door open, and like last time, Daniela goes inside first.

"Anything yet?

Once again the stone tablet glows and the hologram is projected to reveal the ancient elves. "Ugh," Rachel was impressed behind. Rachel the boulder would have never met an ancient elf either.

"I need to ask you something."

"You called me into this world?

Daniela looks at me worryingly into her sight, but is forced to fix her sight on an ancient elf.

"Isn't there a record of summoning from another world?

Yes, when I heard her voice, it looked exactly like the voice I heard in the convenience store. The voice I heard then, 'Confirm the hope of the subject of the summons. That voice with the unique skill' Grant Instrumental Poverty '......

'I affirm. We, the Ancient Elves, have conducted subpoena experiments from different worlds in the past. "

……

It was asked, lightly, very easily, as if nothing was going on.

That magic that summoned me, Matsumoto, the manager, was based on an ancient elf. Rachel... only one person was summoned in the form of reincarnation, but I don't know if that has anything to do with experimenting with ancient elves.

but there was something more important than that, something I had to ask.

"Well, I'd like to ask you about the experiment... were you doing the return experiment?"

'I affirm. But the experimental results have ended in failure. The summons could only be carried out in one direction'

"... well..."

I lost my leg strength. I hit my knee hard. I managed to reply, but there are no other words. Nothing, I wasn't traveling to get home. He was stabbed by a robber and summoned to another world during his death, so let's take a look around the world. It was a journey I started with such a light feeling. Of course, Daniela's presence held it back.

But it would be a lie to say that there was no expectation that 'one day we might find a way back' as we continued our journey. Whether this world is a wonderful place or a place where my loved ones were, this is not where I was born and raised.

For a moment, I will be drawn back to that messy country. [M]

He wants to go back to that place. If you can, take Daniela.

"Asagi......"

Daniela leans softly against me and hugs me in the shoulder. I can solve a little thought stuck in its warmth.

'Is that all the questions?

"Wait... where is the facility where you were experimenting?

But I still move my head full of disappointment, and somehow mobilize my consciousness in an effort to hear just that.

'There will be four main facilities. It's the city center of an ancient elf.'

Ancient elves moved their arms and a square hologram emerged as they slide from right to left. Moving his arm from left to right again, the hologram slipped through the outer circumference of the semicircle and moved to our front.

It was a world map. As best we can, we move our eyes to find the current location, and then reverse the location of the facility. Of the four, one was on an isolated island that we had never even seen. Know the existence of the sea without trying. The other is on the south end. The third is far north. And the last place is slightly off the center of the map. There will be more forests than in this day and age. I've heard that ancient elves are a species living in the woods. But I can't change it to the position of the mountain. The mountain range across this continent is the Alexia Mountains. facility located slightly north of that mountain range.

"... it's Misty Hill"

It was where I was summoned.

"This is... Eledia, Elles, France."

Daniela fingers the third facility located far north. Yes, the manager did say he woke up beside that French town.

"I wasn't even born near it."

Rachel also seems to be from the North. In other words, it would have been involved in experimenting with ancient elves. All of them, they didn't say a word. No, I should say I couldn't talk to you. Here and now, there are two people who have lost sight of how to return. There are two people who are completely stuck.

"Well, I have no reason to go back"

"Huh...?

"You forgot? I'm not human anymore. It's a monster. I lived 800 years as a demon. Eating beasts, attacking people, and eating people to live. Now is the time to be human, but the essence is not the beast itself. I've lived long enough to develop reason alone."

A wolf who lived 800 years. If the essence has changed, even if it was originally human, then it is no longer human.

"At birth in the first place, I just truncated my hopes of returning.... That's not the situation..."

Yes, Rachel cut off Japan easily, and 800 years makes it so. It was a feeling I didn't understand.

"I..."

"You want to go home?

Daniela sitting next to me holds my shoulder tight. It's like I'm not letting you go anywhere.

"I'm here, and you're leaving?

"There's no way that..."

"Well, isn't that good?

Daniela makes it easy. But I wanted to take Daniela back to Japan.

"But, Rabbit. I was born in this world. You're telling me to abandon the world?

"It's..."

"I don't want to tell the Asagi to abandon the world. But if you can't go back, you should choose to give up... no... no."

Daniela shut up, shook her head and laughed bitterly as she tried to keep the words going.

"I don't want you to spend the rest of your life just looking for a way to go home. You should spend your life for me."

"Daniela......"

"I don't mind you saying it's my fault. But I have no desire to let go of the rabbit. Sorry."

That's what I'm saying, Daniela. He's handsome...... strong enough to take the life of whoever he likes... Should I, too? No, I guess it should be. I want to live with the same eyes as the person who liked me.

About family, about friends. It's still hard to cut and throw away that kind of untrained, but it's very easy to live with whomever you want. Line up next door and walk the road together when you are healthy and sick. It's an extension of what I've been doing. The length of the road is different, but we're always together when we walk. Yeah, it seems like a long time ago I made up my mind.

"Have you made up your mind?

"... ah. I live in this world. With Daniela."

"Oh hot hot hot. Be hot on ice magic user habits!

Rachel cools me down, but I also have the qualities of fire magic. It's my eighteenth place to chill or not.

"Rachel also has two lives with her daughter-in-law. You can't go home now."

"Yay, it's weird!!

Rachel angry with a bright red face. Look at that. Me and Daniela laugh. Ancient Mr. Elf is leaning his neck. The cross-world summoning problem showed a uniform solution: experimenting with ancient elves.

But that was just for me and Rachel.

"What do the manager and Matsumoto think... what do you think Daniela should do?

"Well... I think it's worse not to tell them than to worry about not being able to go home. As it is, they will always look for the means to return and continue to hope that they may be able to do so. What do they think when they realize this fact using their not long lives like that? If we are to make such despair look like a distant future, we should now, on this occasion, communicate the facts that ancient elves can teach us. Even despair like that makes time heal. People heal me. Because I was. My time with the rabbit has healed my long suffering."

"Daniela......"

"I believe Lindo and Yasushi are strong minded people. They'll get over it."

Matsumoto is still in high school. It's a game, and you'll have a lot of friends. It's not the kind of year my family and I are still apart. A girl loves you, but it's separate from family love.

"But what if I can't get over it?

"Can you care about such an uncertain future? This fact should be known at any cost. I think that's what you need."

Right...... hard reality but reality is reality. You should tell him. This is information that people who have come to different worlds need to know at any cost.

"I thought you brought me some palms, didn't you?

"Sorry...... I thought we were gonna have this conversation."

"Good. Then I'll bring you"

That said, Rachel quickly disappeared into the entrance space. It would be the strength of a Lambrussen court magician to be able to pull around the Republic's brave men.
