Studying at the castle was as difficult as expected.
I was told to behave politely and verbally, and then to worry about behaving as if it were "shruggy”, and my mouth sourned.
Rather, the person employed as my teacher was a grandmother who scolded me like a kite.
I'm not good at Kite's anger.
It's more spiritual than being angry at me.
You walk out of the castle and back to the inn where the kites are waiting, yelling at you so much that you don't know how many times a day you've been yelled at.
"I'm hungry."
I practiced etiquette as part of having lunch prepared, but I could only eat one meal.
That's why I'm hungry.
When we get back, we'll have Merck's delicious meal.
So, walking around the city, I realize that there are several people in front of me.
"Hmm? What?"
When I approached her with concern, there was a woman who was lying down and a city person who looked down on her with a look of concern.
He used to ask me to get rid of Rainey Crow in the orchard.
What's wrong?
"Ah, you asked me before.... But when this guy tried to buy fruit at our shop earlier, he suddenly collapsed...."
"Fallen?"
He crouched down and looked at his complexion. He was slightly sneaky.
The first thing to look at is its characteristic long ears.
Probably an elf... maybe he's hungry and collapsed?
"But maybe it's an injury or illness... oh, oh, doctor, or healing wizard?"
Yeah, if that's the case, I'll...
At that time, there was a noise from somewhere.
For now, turning around, the clerk woman shook her neck sideways with a bright red face.
I see, this is the belly sound of the elf person in front of you.
So, you're just hungry?
"Maybe... Ah, I looked at my belongings and looked desperate....."
Well, it's hard when you get hungry.
Probably came all the way to the Hendir kingdom and for some reason I didn't have any money.
It's easy to leave here, but I'm the chosen brave man in the kingdom of Hendir.
Well, for people.
You should act on behalf of those who are suffering now.
All right, I'll take him.
Um, okay?
"Because that's what I do."
Lifting the elf with her shoulder, she puts a slightly dirty bag on her shoulder.
Even though he's taller than me, being so light means he probably hasn't eaten decent food for a long time.
"You can't miss someone in trouble."
In the meantime, I'll take you to the inn and let you eat something delicious.
Maybe Kite will get mad at you, but there's nothing to regret about what you're doing.
●
"That's why."
A room in the inn.
Rifa, who put an elf woman to bed, explained to me how it ended.
Yeah, well, yeah.
"I grew up....."
"Praise me more. I stretch with praise. Stretch out harder."
Why are you dropping the rating you gave me?
In the meantime, let me explain what happened to me. [M]
There were a lot of kites, too.... that? What about Sif and Lime? "
"They're teaching Durahan a lot in a separate room."
"Oh, yeah."
It has an honest character, and for now there is no element other than appearance that can be judged dangerous.
"But what about this guy?"
"I can't leave you alone, can I help you?"
"Hmm, that's easy to say....."
Let's just wait for this guy to wake up.
It's been a while since I fell down, and it's about time I woke up...
As she checks to see if she wakes up, the door of this room opens and Merck comes in with a hot plate and a spoon-topped bowl.
Hey, I got his dinner.
"Thank you."
When I received your bowl from Merck, there was a soup on the plate.
Is it vegetable soup?
Lifa peers into it and looks at Merck with her neck tilted.
"Well, is that enough? Is there no meat?"
"You're an idiot. If you feed someone who's hungry and fallen, they'll die. First of all, it's good for digestion."
"That's right...."
I see...
Looking at me as surprised as Rifa was, Merck sighed and left the room.
"When it's cold, say it. I'll bring you a new one."
Put a bowl of soup on the table next to the bed with an expression that you couldn't help but say to Merck.
Then the elf woman sleeping in the bed woke up and drooled her body.
Did you notice that? Rifa approaches the bed.
"Here..."
"Wake up?"
"......!?"
The woman who saw Rifa's face jumped up from her bed and stood back against the wall.
Both I and Rifa are stunned by the sudden behavior.
"Are you running out of hands already!? Are you going to let me do it again...!?"
Huh? Huh?
"No, no! I don't want to go back there! Ugh, ugh..."
So, uuuu, the belly sounds resonate in a room that is never wide.
awkward silence.
At the very least, I keep an unheard body out of sight.
Upset, Rifa offered her the soup that was on the table beside her.
"If you're hungry..."
"I'm sorry...."
A woman with a bright red face leaned down and took a hot plate and spoon.
●
It seems that the name of the elf woman is Iris.
Looks like a traveler from a distant elf settlement who came to the Hendir kingdom by himself, and looks around the ruins of the continent to make a living.
As for the reason why she had gone down, it seemed that she had been stolen during her journey, so that she had no money. Although she had arrived in the kingdom of Hendir, she could not buy food and fell down after that.
She drank soup with tears and regained her calmness - listening to Iris, Rifa spoke with a confirmatory voice.
Um, this is the first time we've met, right?
"I'm sorry. I was upset... I can't believe I made a mistake with a sweet girl like you... I'm really sorry."
"Yeah, don't worry about it. Rather, how is your body?"
Me and Rifa dared not ask why she was confused when she woke up.
Are you going to let me do it again!?
No! I don't want to go back there!! "
This alone shows that she has escaped from some place.
Then I looked at Rifa's face and got upset.
What we can deduce from this is:
"Reefa"
"Yeah, maybe this person is my sister...."
Where the Demon King Army was capturing him, he might have escaped.
When he came to that conclusion, Rifa, who was talking to Ms. Iris with her back facing away, held her fist with a bitter expression.
"At last, you've fallen into a trail... I've lost it...!"
"Ah, I can't believe you did that...! I can't forgive you...!"
When I first fought, I thought I was a self-centered person who loved fighting and forced Hakuro into subjugation, but I can't believe I was grabbing people and making them suffer terribly....
Once again, the Demon King Army will be reminded that it is dangerous.
Well, what's the matter?
"No, nothing. Would you like a refill of the soup? I don't mind if you take your time."
"Ah, thank you...."
Then, unexpectedly, Iris wipes his eyes.
For a moment, I saw tears falling out of her eyes.
Suddenly, when Rifa and I were warm to her who cried, she wiped her tears and smiled weakly.
"No, it's been a long time since I've been so kind to people... thank you"
……
My Demon King Army...!
Me, Niaa...!
My anger with the Demon King Army rose by about three stages.
"Now, may I ask... your name? It's rude of me not to know the name of the savior of my life....."
I nodded with a bitter smile to Elise, who asked me in a slightly clumsy manner.
Speaking of which, we didn't introduce ourselves either.
I didn't have time for surprises in a row.
"My name is Reefa Urugal."
"... hmm?"
Iris reacts with suspicion to Rifa's name.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you very well. May I ask your name again?"
"? Reefa, it's Reefa Urugal. Ah, I may look like a beast, but I'm a human being."
……
Me and Rifa tilt their necks to her that will harden like a doll, but Shif and Lime come from the door to us.
"Oh, you're awake. Kate, Durahan's in the room."
"Cue, cue"
"Yeah, good work. Sif, lime"
While stroking Sif and Lime, who jumped on my lap, I turned to Iris, who was open-mouthed.
I'm sure you're surprised by my servants. [M]
Let's finish introducing ourselves.
"I'm Kate. I'm Arihara Kite. These children are my servant Shifu..."
……
"Hmm? Mr. Iris?"
There was no reaction to calling out to Mr. Iris, who fell to bed without a clue.
Did he fall asleep?
When Rifa sees her, she looks up at me with a nasty look. [M]
"... I'm fainting. Kate, what have you done?"
"Wait, would you stop talking about what I did first?"
It's too wet for anything.
