The examiner saw what was happening in front of him and twitched his cheeks.

"... I wonder what it was like to be trapped in the past and not be able to change the status quo."

"Ha ha ha ha ha"

The boulder Colette couldn't follow the elf very much.

Shreyn leans her neck next to them, but this is not impossible.

Shreyne hasn't heard the conversation when they visited the village before.

That's why what's happening in front of them right now is not linked to the meaning of the study aid and Colette's conversation.

However, I have already heard about Colette's past from him, so I have some expectations.

"In the meantime, why don't we start by accepting what's happening right now?

Shreyne turned her gaze forward as she said so.

The samurai who visited Seuri's woodland were now welcomed by many elves.

It also enthusiastically embraces the examiners, at least to the extent that they can be seen.

It was a different response from the one I visited before.

"I don't know what to say... if it's so different, you won't even think about giving me back my palm."

In a room of the mansion guided by waves of people, Kaiseki had a neat expression.

"I wasn't expecting this."

The elves, who saw the auxiliaries, uttered words of welcome.

In addition, I was able to see the appearance of those who enthusiastically believed in Kaiseki and Colette.

It was an examiner who acted so that he could not be found as a living god in the 5th floor city or other cities, but I didn't expect to be treated like this in the elves.

"By then, the elves would have waited for their children."

Shreyne, who had not been caught up in people's enthusiasm, was calmly expressing her opinion with a cool face.

Romana nodded at Shreyn's words, laughing bitterly as she watched Colette.

"That's right. Because the feeling of blockage in the village, which had lasted for a long time, blew up at once."

"I see. Does it feel like the values you've had have been blown away all at once?

I'm sure you are.

Customs and practices inherited from the past cannot be denied by themselves.

However, Romana continued, finally realizing that she shouldn't get too caught up in it.

"That's why I don't think it's good to throw them away altogether?

After listening to the conversation between the two, Kaiseki finally regained his calm and saw Romana.

Values that have been passed down are worth it.

Rather than denying it completely, Kaiseki believes that it is important to change it to suit the occasion.

Of course, it is the value of study aid, and sometimes it is not the same as the elf who has always cherished the old things.

What is important is not the same for individuals, but also for races.

"Of course. While it is true that it is enthusiastic in front of both of you, so far few want a radical change. However, it will eventually change."

In the sense that the children were made one after the other, the elves embraced the study aid and Colette, but with regard to other values, as Romana pointed out, most things have not changed.

Romana thought it would be a slow change.

And it was the same in the elf village in the tower.

It has been more than a decade since I moved from where I used to live into the tower, but there has been no significant change except for my children.

Even if it changed, it was thought that it would change gradually over time.

It was the same idea as Kaiseki and Colette, who had been watching the change in the countryside from outside.

I don't intend to impose my values on the elves.

Romana didn't just call the auxiliaries home to show the elves what they knew.

I wanted to show my gratitude for the two couples getting pregnant.

That night, the representatives of the village gathered and a welcoming party was held.

Food and beverages made from the ingredients collected from the forest entertained Kaiseki's tongues.

Speaking of being an elf, even if there was alcohol in it, it didn't seem like a lot of noise, but I could still fully understand the feelings of the elves.

It was well understood that we are not only thanking the upper part, but really thanking them.

The samurai who came to the forest of Seuri stayed overnight.

There was a transfer gate, so I could go back to management, but the elves pushed me out and told me it was good for Shiomara.

I wasn't in a hurry, so I was told that I would talk to you tomorrow, and Siomara was gone from the banquet seat, so I couldn't hear the details on the spot.

Because of Colette, I didn't want her to be too hard on the exam, but Colette herself laughed "Don't worry."

After all, it was decided to take care of you the next day with the same momentum.

And the next day.

The examiners were facing Utah, a world tree.

The place is Siomara's Mansion.

Originally, Utta would not appear so freely, but this is not the case if there is a naming aid.

It's just the history of driftstones (?) Because of that, it is not so easy to appear in public, so the place was set.

If Colette hadn't weighed, she could have carried her feet to the foot of the World Tree, but Kaiseki and Shreyne stopped it on the boulder.

"For the elves, the woods and the flats didn't change," Colette said, but the archaeologists pushed him out.

Eventually, Colette broke, so it was a face-to-face meeting at the Mansion.

Faced for the first time in a long time, Utta looked at Colette after saying hello.

Congratulations, Colette.

"Ah, thank you."

Suddenly, Colette lowered her head in a hurry to celebrate her pregnancy.

Colette didn't think that the world tree itself would celebrate something personal.

But this is also Colette's lack of awareness.

Colette herself is a witch of Essena, so it's not particularly strange for another world tree to celebrate her pregnancy.

Moreover, since the other party is Utah's namesake, it seems natural to celebrate the fact that a child has been born in Utah.

"... what is that face, Theomara? I'll celebrate, too.

"Yes, no. I didn't mean to..."

Siomara, who was more surprised than Colette, slipped into Utta and slipped out of sight.

Utta sighed as she stared at such a shiomara.

"You said 'I'm a high elf' in the first place, and you wouldn't even marry a child. I congratulated you, too.

Though he didn't let me do it at all, as Utta continued, Theomara looked like she was "woosh."

Looking at the interaction between the two, the examiners were able to hold their mouths and watch their mouths blow.
