The next morning. After breakfast, we leave the house and the three of us head to the woods.
Disband until evening at the edge of the woods and only my sister and I proceed to the woods. This is the third day I promised Lynne, but are you coming right? I should have made up my mind about the morning or afternoon. It's inconvenient not to have a cell phone......
"Welcome home. Yoichi, Kaori. How was the city?
Suddenly Lynne came down from the top of the tree and she almost screamed unexpectedly. I appreciate the welcome, but I want you to make some more heart-friendly appearances.
"... hey Lynne, I want to ask you a lot about the elves, okay?
"Yes, if that's what I know. If you want to talk, come here."
That being said, I am led to a makeshift cabin which I have been walking for a while. It's like a triangular tent with tree branches, but there are dead leaves inside that make it extraordinarily comfortable.
I'll cut the story out quickly.
"Does the Elves grow faster than humans?
To my inquiry, Lynne gave me a Kyotong look. This look is a little cute.
"It's usually what they say is slow...... oh, but maybe the first year or so is early"
"How is that?
"Maybe, but the first year after birth grows about a year for people in a month. So after joining the adults, on the other hand, is it about a half of the people?
That's pinpoint information. Even in the previous world, animals grew faster in childhood, most animals stood and walked as soon as they were born, and dogs and cats were able to have children before they were even a year old. Does that feel close to it?
If you think about it in Lynne, you're 116 now, so if you add roughly 4, which equates to 12 in the first year and divided 115 by 30, you're 16. Well, that's the way it is.
Even so, the story is pretty surprising right now. Short childhood and long adolescence, or maybe close to ideal as a biological species. It is also convincing that they said it was a finished species.
"By the way, how long is life?
"I think it's about 300-400 years"
Human-converted, equivalent to 22-25 years of age... maybe it's a complete species.
And I was also convinced that all the girls I saw at the market were a year old... no, wait a minute, huh?
"It may be hard to answer, but how do elves reproduce?
On that question, Lynne's long ears turn crimson red. That's hard to talk about......
Lynne answers as she strays her gaze as she pats her reddened ears.
"Yes, as I've told you before, the Elves exist only female individuals called human beings. And unlike people, I don't feel any desire for reproductive behavior or pleasure, so it feels like overlapping my body only when I find a partner I care about and want a child...... It's normal to host children at the same time as each other. How long have you been pregnant... a little longer than your family?"
I see, the situation is getting better and better. And that stirs up a horrible imagination in me...
"I'd like to confirm one thing, even if we don't have a mutual agreement to overlap our bodies... can we have kids even if we do it in vain?
"Well, that's... I don't know any real examples, but I think maybe I can. I can't think of any point in doing that..."
Lynne may not think of it, but I do. And maybe even done.
"Lynne, I got a sudden errand to run. I'll be back in the city, so I'll be back here in three days, okay?
"Ah, yes. Yes, I have a collection of franc flowers, would you like to have them?
"Uh-huh, not now. I'm sorry."
"No, then be careful. Oh, Kaori, take this."
My sister receives a handful of wraps from Lynne. Ask, it seems the ingredients in the woods. My sister gave me something that looked like a souvenir, and Lynne was happy to receive it.
Nevertheless, the current story just doesn't make sense from my sister, or even would have sounded sexually harassing.
But he doesn't ask why, and now he smiles happily holding the ingredients. Considering this is what comes from trust in me, I'm glad. Quite a bit of pressure on the other hand.
I'll hold the luggage. Break up with Lynne, find Mr. Rhina and rendezvous. Much earlier than in the evening, but he went home without saying anything in particular. By the way, the Kiyo fruit, full of big cages, was already collected.
"Hey, Mr. Rhina. Don't you realize there's a lot of elves around here?
On my way back to the city, I dare ask around.
"Is it a place with lots of elves? I guess it's still there when I say... I think it's the ranch on the other side of the King's Landing from here."
Ranch... the sound of it turns an unpleasant imagination into something close to certainty in me.
Really, how unkind this world is...
