"Because our Beaufort family is borderline. The exotic neighborhood of Beaufort. How did you know I'd been chosen as an intermediary?

The aristocratic system of the Kingdom of Westland is divided into three main titles.

Duke, such as a nobleman who has served the king for a long time, or a nobleman who has done much good.

Count, such as a very standard aristocrat or former royalty of another country with reduced territory.

Barons, such as nobles taken from civilians in the past or from other countries whose territory has been reduced.

In addition to these, there exist deputy counts who, due to various circumstances, rule territories of more than barons and less than counts, as well as border ambassadors who have obtained special advantages by being entrusted with border security.

And the Beaufort family is still a "real beachfront" bordering another country, which has become rare among several beachfront houses.

"... To be honest, the surprise is too big to follow my head. I knew as general knowledge that the Beaufort family territory was adjacent to the Northern Tree Sea Union, but I can't believe the elves were involved in politics."

I shake my neck sideways, realizing once again the seriousness of things.

Seeing that, Senator Ayle tipped his neck.

"Is this your first time seeing an elf?

"No, I've encountered it several times when I was working as an adventurer. Rather, is that why you say your ears are incredible"

Hold down your teasing forehead with your hands and reflect on your perception of a species called Elves.

It is a theory that elves, because of their long life expectancy and the time they can spend learning, fall into the category of the devil clan, among other things, with high intelligence, and, on average, outweigh humans.

But on the other hand, or that's why, the elves aren't trying to get too involved with humans.

From the forest zone recreated within the dungeon - where the elves are also creatures that inhabit the dungeon, beyond being demonic - they rarely try to come out, but only take action when they step into their realm from the human side.

The content of the action varies from settlement to settlement, with minimal transactions and supplies, and policies to eliminate intruders completely regardless of circumstances.

A member of the Northern Union of Trees and Seas who is supposed to be a human nation?

I feel like I've seen fish flying in the sky.

"Then you also know that the Elves' guidelines for action vary from one community to another. I, the Community, have judged interference on the ground to be true. That's all."

"I understand that. But I can't figure out why I decided that."

You didn't see how I was that confused, Theodore sending out a help boat from the side.

"I told you in advance. The situation in the north is unimaginable to humans elsewhere. Fortunately, time is long enough, and it should be explained from the ground up."

"You shouldn't, if I did. Naturally others can understand what I know... what a assumption I tend to make. Although it may be a common vice to the whole elf."

Senator Ayle put his hand on his mouth with his classy work before beginning to explain the Elf's involvement with the Northern Tree Sea Coalition.

"Our community has been welcoming guests on the ground for over a hundred years. We didn't have anything to do with this, but as long as we visited in a favorable manner, we were welcome to do so."

Normally convincing up to this point.

Even the Elf Code of Conduct I know is a sufficiently descriptive response.

"But things changed about a decade ago, in the earthly calendar. People who have been friendly for a long time have changed their complexion and begun to ask for help."

"Rescue me? … well, the war of reunification by the Kingdom of Westland has extended to the North"

"Yes, they complained of the invaders' threat and pleaded for the protection of the people in the dungeon, or our ground troop"

No matter how poor you may be, I've been thinking about requesting help from the Demons and evacuating them to the dungeons.

That would mean that His Majesty Alfred's momentum was so powerful, and yet he had a good relationship with the elves.

"We are stepped into the dungeon by the ferocious invaders they speak of… that is the only thing we must definitely avoid. We thought it was a match of interest and sent personnel to the ground..."

Ayle turned sideways to Theodore with a troubled smile.

"If you have to actually confront me, aren't you the one with a lot of room for negotiation? I had enough trouble getting my temper up, swinging my fist down."

"My clan was not sent as a spike to His Majesty the King, but it was not intended to kill him. At the time, we were so full of peace on the ground that we decided it was not appropriate to turn the Dungeon Demons to their enemies."

I see, considering that, their decision to rely on an elf was by no means meaningless?

Now the Demon King's army has crossed with the armies of the Golden Tooth Knights.

Even the Demon King's Army, which should have been depleted after its original home base, is so, I have no idea how much power it would be if it were to be a large force of all.

"We decided to reconcile ourselves with the forces that fled to the north, but at the time, they were really just a gathering. The Northern Tree Coalition was born for the practical reason that we cannot negotiate individually."

Theodore speaks as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

No, if the matter was about a few years ago, it is possible that Theodore on his youth day was also involved in the scene.

Theodore is still a trail of frontier uncles, so it would be natural to think about gaining experience in the field.

"We are now at the heart of a series of negotiations. Negotiations with the Kingdom and coordination between the various forces are both. We were close to neutrality in both respects, so naturally that happened."

"And in return for undertaking such a great task, the community to which she belongs was to get a certain number of seats in the parliament of the Northern Tree Sea Union...... did you understand?

I nod back immediately and express my willingness to understand the situation properly.

It was an easy and convincing history once explained in an orderly manner.

Then the next thing you need to do is get back to business.

"Thank you for explaining. So... what the hell are you doing today? As a member of the Northern Tree Sea Coalition? Or... as a demon tribe?
