A few days to be rocked by a horse, we made our way to the woods of the world tree where there is an elf country.

The forest was so vast that it could not be in sight.

The trees spreading in front of you may be described as tree seas.

Gunter explains.

"The World Tree Forest is also known as The Forest Without Return."

I heard that word. I groan, "I see," he said.

I do feel that the depressed and lush trees deserve their aliases.

"You look like the sea of Fuji."

That's my candid feeling.

"Is it a sea of fuji trees?

The maid Satti asks.

"It's the name of a tree sea in a country called Nihon, far south."

"Oh, is that Nihon? Your husband likes that country, doesn't he? It's often spoken of."

"Well, I guess I miss it"

"What is it about that sea of fuji trees?

It's a suicide spot.

and if I speak honestly, Satie will be frightened, so

"If you go in without a compass, you'll never come back."

And I'll talk to you farther away.

By the way, Fuji's sea of trees drives the compass crazy, but that's a theory.

If you prepare properly in advance and put the compass on your phone, you won't get lost.

This time again, I was bringing a compass.

It's a special made for Gunter.

It's not the size of a merchant ship, it's the size of a small one that fits in the palm of your hand.

Besides, it also has a carefully detailed design and so on, and if you buy it on the market, you may not drop dozens of gold coins.

When I take that out of my nostalgia, I'll check the orientation.

The compass needle was spinning around, as you can see.

Lilith, who has peered into it, raises her voice, "Wow."

"Now the compass won't help."

"It's been assumed."

and return it in a nutshell.

"The World Tree Forest is a sanctuary for elves. To protect it, it was expected that there would be a variety of finishes."

"Now, if you get lost, you're in trouble. Though I will not starve if I breathe from the flowers. After all, shouldn't Satie leave you?

and turns to Satie willingly, but Satie nevertheless, flutters her neck and refuses to swing sideways.

"It's okay to get lost. I have prepared an emergency meal."

and Satti removes the bottled food from the bag.

Inside it was packed with yellowish whites.

"What's that?

And, Lilith asks Sati.

"It's mayonnaise," Satie returns, good at it.

"Mayonnaise? Never heard of it."

"That's right. This is an unknown food that your husband thought of."

"Really?

and Lilith asks.

"Oh," I reply.

"What kind of food is this?

"It's a stirred chicken egg yellow with vinegar and oil. And a little salt and pepper."

When I hear that, "which," I open the lid of the bottle, put my index finger in the bottle and take it in a quick way, and carry it into my mouth.

"You have some intense flavor. It's going to go with vegetables."

'Cause that's what I'm making it for.

"But why is this an emergency meal?

"Because it's nutritious. Eggs are a source of life. Contains All Nutrients"

"I see, but wouldn't an egg rot quickly?

"That's okay. hold even at room temperature for years by adding vinegar"

Lilith sounds surprised when she hears that. "No way," he said.

Satti answers.

"It's true. Just add the vinegar and it will be very sunny. It's like I hung it by magic."

"It's not magic. It's just alchemy."

Eggs are prone to rot, but by coating them with vinegar or oil, they can remain resistant to rot.

Because vinegar and oil and salt have a powerful bactericidal effect.

I think the first person to create this food is a genius.

I have no nutritional value, taste, preservativeness, or complaints.

Exactly God's food.

"And mayonnaise is unusually high in calories. You get about a spoon of energy for a cup of rice."

"That's amazing"

"Oh, it's perfect for the military. Preservative. Easy to carry. Besides, it tastes good when you eat it on bread. It leads to the morale of soldiers."

"Amazing. If you export it, you'll make a lot of money."

"That's what I'm thinking in time. In the meantime, the construction of a chicken farm and the manufacture of a stirrer (kaku solder) for stirring eggs are the necks, but I would ask Lord Gunter to do that."

And, say it, the words stop.

Because Gunter was staring at this one with an amazing shape.

- No, he was staring behind me, to be exact.

Immediately after seeing how it is, he puts his strength into his hand gripping the Wand of the Circular Snake (Uroboros).

I'm in Gunter's sight, too, and I turn around in that direction, but I can't see anything.

Dwarves seem to be eye-catching at night. I guess I see something that humans don't see.

I ask frankly.

"What do you see? Lord Gunter."

Gunter answers immediately.

"Apparently, a rough welcome"

"... I see"

I leak bitterness at the same time I hear that word.

At the same time an elf who was holding back on the grass rises and squeezes the bow string.

"Sure is a rough welcome"

If you look, the elves were in a few as well as the grass, on the trees.

They all have bows in the same way.

There were men and women.

Apparently, the elves are a race that fights without distinction between men and women.

Everyone has brilliant eyebrows and pointy ears.

When I make sure they're willing to engage in an elf, I raise my voice.

"The elves were warm and heard of a courteous race, but I wonder if that was a mistake. We are messengers of the Demon King's Army. I'm not willing to fight. Please, get your hands off the bowstring."

"Shut up, you monsters! You're not gonna fool me."

"You're a monster..."

I smile unexpectedly.

My appearance in the mask of change and the robe of immortality was indeed a monster itself.

Lilith is a seemingly exorcist, Gunter is a dwarf of Elves and Dog Monkeys, and Satie is a human being. Furthermore, in this cold sky, he is wearing made-up clothes.

Such a suspicious and monstrous group would be rare.

Don't be alarmed, it's more impossible.

But we still have to convince them.

It is foolish to fight them here. It's easy to defeat them, but it doesn't do you any good to have a fight with someone you're about to make an alliance with.

"I repeat, we are messengers of the Demon King's Army. It may seem like a monster from you, but I still want you to think of it as a more plausible negotiator than the Kings' Alliance."

"... you have proof? that it will not harm us."

"There is, when it comes to it, can you convince me? I'll tell you as much as I can."

The elves, who heard the words, begin the consultation.

It's a language I'm unfamiliar with.

Apparently it's not a common language, it's elf language.

You've decided that if you speak elf, you can't hear it, but they're bad.

Mages have the convenient power of magic. Their conversations and so on were missed by Language Translation.

"Hey, what do we do? Do you believe what they say?

"He says he's a messenger of the Demon King's Army, but is it true?

"There are two demons, and Dwarves, and humans, isn't that strange?

"This is a rumor I put in my ear the other day, but I heard that the Demon King's Army has an amazing mage, adding humans and dwarves to its umbrella one after another. His name is definitely Ike. They look like immortal kings. Maybe he is?

"If so, shouldn't we be under their umbrella, too?

"What makes you think that?

"A man named Ike is famous as a very tolerant ruler. At least you'll be treated better than going down to the King's Alliance."

"Don't be ridiculous! We're the proud Elves! What could be under anyone's umbrella! We're the only ones who can protect this forest."

"But no matter how much we protect this forest, it's pointless before the army, we have to think calmly here."

What I found out from listening to their conversation was that apparently the Elves are as proud as rumors.

Besides, I don't trust the King's Alliance or the Demon King's Army.

That and the fact that the Queen of Elves sent a letter to Gunter also seems confidential.

It would be a prerequisite to show them the letters they received from the Queen of Elves first to gain their credibility.

I decide to retrieve the letter I put in my pocket.

For once, I put in a word no to keep them alert -, I was going to, but I didn't have time for that.

Because a scream came from an elf hidden in the grass.

If you look at it, his back was mutilated unbroken.

There was a white beast there.

At a glance I can tell it's not a beast of nature.

Not a wolf or a bear. It was clearly an alien beast.

Lilith leaks pompous when she sees it.

"Summoner...?

Correct.

I'd love to, but I don't have time for that.

The bloodthirsty beast is searching for his next target and staring at the elves.

Not a single glance at this one is proof that this guy is a subpoena.

I guess that's what the mage who summoned this beast is ordering.

Then I can't breathe a sigh of relief that this one won't be harmed.

It is not sneaky to see an elf being hunted in front of you.

I order Lilith to escort Satie.

Lilith nods "yes" like she's stuck, but still seems to be wanting to fight and wuss.

However, I am grateful that you will always obey my orders.

When Lilith leaned against Sati's side and confirmed that she had pulled out her sword, she now stared at Gunter.

He didn't have to order, he had an axe of war.

Even if you hate the Elves, you don't seem willing to overlook that crisis.

Again, this man is a trustworthy man.

Once again so convinced, he and Gunter headed towards the white beast.
