Master’s Smile

The elf, who named himself Roofiggia, said he came from a deep green forest.

Heh... there.

It is a forest of considerable size, close to the kingdom.

It's just that there's an elf living there and another 'other circumstance' and humans can't go in like that.

How can an elf who lives in a place like that and is said to spend his whole life in the place where he was born be outside again...... it is also in such a back alley?

"I'm here to see someone who I heard was here. Because I really needed information."

Heh. Is someone Elf wants to meet in an alley like this?

"If it's true, I can't come here. Because we really need to save those kids..."

... Oops. I don't know, I got a feeling you're in trouble.

"So why are you in such a good mood for a dark elf?

Roofygear cuts up his story once and sees Schwart.

Well, if you just have a rare dark elf. Still, I'd be interested if that was in made-up clothing, wouldn't I?

Asked, Schwart also returns flat.

"Because I belong to the master. These clothes are also here to make it easier to understand."

"Master's?

To Schwartz's words, Roofigia looks at me as if I were surprised.

Wait, I want you to wait. It's like saying Chevalt's a slave and I'm the owner, but he's not.

I'm the master of a certain guild, and I'm just saying that she's an guild member there.

"Oh, really? Then I can see why Dark Elves are here.... made-to-measure clothes, I'm not sure yet."

Although the number of elf species is small, there are also those who subscribe to the Adventurer Alliance.

So I guess Roofigia also admitted to Schwartz's existence... but I don't know about maid clothes either, so I can't answer that.

"Well, I've answered, too, and I'd like roofie gear to answer. What information did you come to such a filthy place full of bugs for?

So if it's too much incitement!

I don't have any residents around here, but you don't know who's going to ask.

As I was harrowed, Roofigia nodded heavily.

"Yeah, I don't mind anything. It doesn't mean I shouldn't be known to anyone else."

I exhale relieved by the words.

Good, 'cause if Roofygear was doing something that people wouldn't be allowed to hear, he'd definitely get into trouble.

A dark guild is a good fit to live in the shadows.

... Well, there's something about Schwartz wanting them to live gloriously in the world of the surface.

"It was a while ago. There were a few, but also some children's elves in our settlement. Some of them just disappeared."

... Oh, is that happening? Hidden?

"That must be..."

"Yep. Those kids got caught... by a slave trader"

To Schwartz's short words, Roofigia nods cocklessly.

Of course, it wasn't divine concealment or anything.

Still, you're a slave trader... With that, I look at Chirali and Chevalt.

Is it a coincidence, or...

"Many elf species are attractive, so the more you seek from a slave trader, the more you can get your hands out of your throat."

I'm convinced of Chevalt's words, too.

The two elf species in this room right now are very pretty.

If this applies to all the elf species, it will no longer be able to help but want a slave trader.

"So you're saying that Roofigia came to this place"

"Yeah. I heard there's a famous informant here. Also, I didn't know when to change my place of business, so I couldn't come along with some people."

I see.

When I smile and snort, Roofie Gear shows me a little trick to think about.

And he's staring at our faces.

"Hey. You guys are guild people, right?

"I'm a dark elf, and the master is really human or suspicious."

Chevalt answers Roofigia's question.

No, because I'm really human.

Maybe because you're just a person with a very long life span than a person.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure we're guild people, so I snort.

... Well, even when it comes to guild, it's a dark guild.

There's no reason to know what's inside of me like that. Roofie Gear snorts.

"Then why don't you take a request from me?

... please.

If it's true, the Alliance's request is a matter of great scrutiny before deciding whether to take it.

Even though regular mid-level and grey guilds that are going up there will have a track record of receiving them without scrutiny, I always scrutinize them because they are very important to my members.

So I would refuse to be thrown such a sudden request...

"... can't you ask?

Roofie Gear looks up to me.

Looking at her, she didn't seem like she was trying to trick us into doing something terrible.

Really, I guess I'm worried about the elf kids who got caught.

Seeing a roofie gear like that makes me want to support you unexpectedly.

What's more, I'm the one taking this request, not the guild member.

Worst of all, even if she had some kind of trap in place, I'm the only one at a disadvantage.

The members of the Army of Salvation (Yerkchilla) are confident that they have enough power to do it without me.

... Well, Schwartz...

"I obey the master's will. I'll move as you wish."

If I do the glance with chills, I gently pick my skirt and bow my head.

I'm not really supposed to, but I'm happy, and the grin gets deeper. [M]

I guess I should ask Schwart to return to Alliance headquarters... but when this is also trusted, I feel strongly delighted.

Even though I do, I will inform Roofie Gear of my acceptance of the request.

"Really!? I'm so glad! I'll play the reward, so expect it!

Roofigia makes her face shine with great pleasure.

He seems more pleased because he has drawn his compatriot Dark Elves (Chevalt) than because he has more companions…

Well, it wouldn't be strange to try to stay together at all if we could meet a handful of fellow countrymen (elves) in a place full of humans.

Nevertheless, me and Chevalt were to take on Luffigia's request.
