"By the way, Teto, where are you going?
"Go to Alheim."
"Oh, Eliza and the others said, Elf country?
"Oh! The elves are full of clean cheeks."
"So, but Alheim is a country that was at war with this country, isn't it? I made guild cards in this country... okay, I guess?
He said, "What are you doing?"
"Really? If Teto says so, I'll go..."
"Yeah. Come on! Acari, say," Ten, Alheim. "
"Metastasis, Alheim - Huh!?"
Acari, who spoke as Teto said, activated the skill.
What a real relocation skill, unlike the relocation Hart uses, which allows you to travel instantly anywhere as long as you know the place names of this world.
Akari was surprised that her body had the feeling of being pulled hard somewhere.
But in the next moment...
"Tochaku!
"What... Huh!?"
Acari and Tet were moving to the meadow by Al-Hayyim.
King's capital of Alheim. Akali is blinded by the giant world tree that covers it up.
"That's what I'm talking about"
"World Tree...... su, wow"
The acari are just stunned by giant trees that are unthinkable in the common sense of the original world.
"Akali, Iko"
"Ugh, yeah."
Encouraged by Tet, Acari advanced to the examining post to enter and leave the king's capital.
Unlike the king capital of Apristos, which has only capital functions, the king capital of Alheim also has vast agricultural lands and mines inside it.
Moreover, there is a history that the Elves were often attacked by other races, and Al-Haem's protective walls were many times as huge as those of Apristos.
"The walls are so tight."
"Hey."
As we walked closer to the checkpoint, the guard stopped the acari.
"Lady, you're a human being, aren't you? You want to enter this country?
"Yes!
"Right. Then tell me your name and where you come from and why you're staying in this country."
Just like in Apristos, I looked into the eyes of the guards and said I wanted to enter the king's capital, but the elves are a species with high resistance to mental attacks, etc.
Sometimes she hasn't been able to use her eyes yet, and she couldn't do anything to charm Eric.
As the elf guard told him, Akali declares by touching his hand on the true and false treasure offered.
"I say acari. A., from Apristos. I've come here because I want you to give me jewels and stuff."
The true and false treasure balls glowed blue.
That was the problem.
"Apristos...... lady, you're from Apristos, aren't you?
The look on the guard's face gets harsher.
Akali had a kind of bad feeling about it.
When Hart drove Apristos' national army back, and the fifth prince came to the throne, damages had been paid to Alheim, but had not led to normalization of national traffic.
It was possible for each of our citizens to travel to and from each other's countries.
"I'm sorry, miss. The guy from Appstos was supposed to be asked to do a little research."
A guard grabbed Acari's hand and was about to take him to the guard's quarters.
"Eh."
"What? It'll be over soon."
In fact, even when I say investigation, they just ask me in detail what I do in Alheim with a high-pressure attitude, and if I don't have a criminal record, I can get them into the King's Capital.
What's more, it's up to the guards at the inquisition at that time if they have to be investigated, even if they're from Apristos.
This checkpoint has also been assigned several soldiers of border defence killed by the private army of the Fifth Prince when Apristos invaded.
Akali was unlucky and fell for one of them.
Former border defense soldiers killed during the war against Apristos and resurrected in the Liza collection in Luca are allowed to harass some of the people from Apristos.
This was the covenant that Alheim exchanged with Apristos in order to ease the resentment that the murdered soldier held against Apristos.
Akali gets scared of being caught in the arms by a formidable soldier and taken somewhere.
"Teh, teh, teh..."
"Guards there, wait a minute."
An elf, a beautiful woman with long hair ponytails, called out as an anxious acari tried to speak to Teto.
"Li, Master Lifa!
The woman, Elf, was the second princess of this country and Rifa, Hart's wife.
The guard, who was about to take Akali, panicked to get Akali's hands off him and kneel on the spot, surprised by Rifa's sudden visit.
"This kid is from Apristos, isn't he?
"Seems so"
"I also know about the arrangement with Appstos. And, of course, that you have a grudge against that country. But wouldn't it be nice not to hit such a girl?"
"also, sorry......"
"I'll take this kid. Isn't there a problem?
"Yes!
Rifa, hearing the guard admit, took Akali's hand.
"I'm sorry I scared you. My name is Rifa-Ernor. I guarantee your safety during your stay in this country."
"What... Oh, thank you"
"In the meantime, let's move. I want you to walk and tell me a lot about you."
"About me, is it?
"Yep. Come on, let's go. Welcome to Alheim."
Rifa gently drew her hand, and Akali decided to follow her.
─ ─ ─ ─
"Yes. Akali just stopped by Appstos yesterday, and you didn't live there from scratch."
"Oh, yeah. But I also made guild cards, and from now on, I'm going to be based in Appstos..."
Akali was taken by Rifa into a stylish cafe on Main Street in Wangdu, where he was eating Rifa and cake.
"Then I'll be fine. I had nothing to do with that country when I was about to go to war with it."
I felt sorry for Akali, who was about to cry, and Rifa, who helped her, but I was relieved that it was good to help.
Rifa also knows painfully that the guards will have a strong grudge against the Apristos who killed them.
"Akali. Did you hate this country?
"Yes, no! Absolutely!! More than that, I'm so happy to talk to such a beautiful elf."
Even Akali, who had seen something called an elf in Lanobe's illustrations and cartoons, had actually seen a real elf and was heartily moved.
"Well, I'm glad. Thanks."
That's what I say and laugh elegantly at Rifa, and Akali is nailed.
Among the elves with many beautiful men and women, Rifa, a high elf and royal, was particularly beautiful.
"By the way, Akali came to this country to pick gems, didn't he?
"Yes...... but it also costs money to let you mine gems, doesn't it?
Acari realized that he had come this far without much thought, but that there was no way he could be allowed to mine freely in a mine inside the Wang capital.
"Right. Mining sites in this country can be used even by expatriates if they pay for it. But it depends on your luck if you can pick gems, and the royalties are pretty high. Acari, do you have any money?
"Not really..."
I got here because of it, and I felt a little scared, but I hit a wall that I couldn't help.
"Mm-hmm. Yes, I'll give it to you."
So Rifa took out the eight jewels and offered them to Acari.
"Yeah!? Oh, no... you can't have it"
"The soldiers in our country are apologizing for scaring the acari, will you take it?
"So, but..."
Akali had only seen about what her mother had, such as real jewels, but the jewels Rifa had given her glowed more beautifully than her mother's and were larger in size.
Rifa, who was looking at a clam not trying to receive a gem, comes up with something.
"You make and sell equipment that uses this, right? If you really don't like getting jewelry for free, can you give me the earrings that Akali made? I mean exchange!
"Well, then... but it's not a big deal earrings at all, is it?
"It's okay. Let me see!
Encouraged by Rifa, Akali shows the earrings she created with her skills.
"What, wow... did you make this?
Very finely crafted earrings.
Rifa then felt a very strong force.
"This and gems don't match at all, do they?
"That's not true! Rather, so much so that I have to give you more gems. But that's all we have now."
"Oh, no!? That's okay. This is all I need!!"
Saying so, Akali hands Rifa the earrings. I decided to receive the jewels instead.
─ ─ ─ ─
Afterwards, Akali, who intends to tour Al-Haym, and Rifa, who has business, were to break up.
"If you have any problems in this country, come to the castle where you can see them. So if you call the gatekeeper and call an elf named Salion, I'll make sure they do something about it."
Referring to the royal castle, Rifa explains.
"Okay. Thank you for everything, Rifa. But I still can't match eight jewels with one earring, so if I can make something again, I'll take it."
"Really? Then I'll have something that's not a jewel this time, too. I look forward to bartering with the clams."
Rifa's ears are worn with the earrings she received from the clams.
"Akali, see you later"
"Yes, I'll see you again, Mr. Rifa!
Rifa watched until she left the cafe and could no longer see the back of the acari disappearing in the crowd of the King's Capital.
"Thank you for waiting, Rifa"
"Ah, Mr. Hart. Welcome and thank you!
When the acari was completely invisible, Hart came to pick up Rifa in the metastasis.
"Whoa! Those earrings look great on you. You bought a new one?
"Hehe. I got it for a friend I made today."
Rifa's ears, praised and delighted by Hart, were lit with guardian earrings, an Epic (Legendary) devil.
