I wanted to know what kind of guy you are, and I'm sorry to have thrown a tantrum," said Matveyi, serving me a cup of tea.

It's a flower tea, a flower bud opening in a tea cup.

As I blinked my eyes, unsure of the sudden turn of events

Don't be alarmed, but if you're worried about being poisoned, you can change your cup with mine.

Oh ...... no, I'm fine.

Surprised by his sudden change, I sat down and took a cup of tea. I knew that this tea was not only harmless, but also had a "sedative" and "weak detoxifying effect".

A fluffy, plump aroma passed through my nose. This is a good tea (how could I possibly know if the tea is good or bad?

It's a good cup of tea. I'm a dropout, but I'm known to be a good brewer of tea.

"...... that, Master Matvey, I--

Wait. You can call me Matvey. You call Asha by her nickname too, right?

It's ......

That said, I'm sure you won't be able to either, and I'm sure I'll be

...... Matvey, Ms.

"Well, that's okay,

"Mr. Matvey, I've come to talk to Asha. If she wants to stay, I won't stop her.

"What if he wants to run away?

It's ......

"Do you want to let him go at full speed? Even if it means making enemies with all the elves in the 'Three Heavenly Forests'?

"............

Of course I'm going to, but I still don't know this person too well to say "yes" here.

...... Well, okay, that's fine, but if you hear what I have to say, you might change your mind. But maybe you'll change your mind if you hear what I have to say?

Matvey prefaced this with a sip of the tea he brewed himself. This guy is the best," he says, and begins to talk.

Asha was treated worse than me as a dropout. The trees in the forest do not like fire. But Asha was a fire-spitter, ...... so I silenced my voice. The King, who is none other than my father.

"It was ostensibly a 'curse by an evil wizard,' wasn't it? Is it okay to tell me something so important?

Yeah, because you put Asha's throat back together, didn't you? Because you put Asha's throat back together, didn't you?

...... It is, yes, well, it's ultimately his effort,

But it's amazing, man. But it's amazing, man. All the medicine men in this forest are sick with the disease that they threw away... ......

Oh, I see - I understand.

You can't leave Asha's problem unattended by the royals. I'm sure they tried to solve it somehow.

But they were fundamentally wrong.

It's not a disease. It's just Asha's constitution.

"Body ......?

"Asha had a constitution where [fire magic] could be spun with her voice, just as her breath leaked out with her voice. It could be said that her body had an extremely high affinity for [fire magic].

...... No, wait, wait, wait, wait, it's easier said than done. It's the same if you call it a disease, right?

It's not. The disease ends when you cut off the root cause, but if it's a constitution, you have to deal with it. Asha has trained me to control my magic. She must have been gifted to begin with, she used to make flames appear as she spoke, but gradually the flames became smaller and smaller - now they only appear when the emotions are high.

"............

What's up?

"Oh, no,

I felt somewhat uncomfortable as Matvey was staring at me blankly.

Being stared at by a handsome man is not good for the body.

...... I thought that guy didn't want to talk about it.

How about that ......? It didn't feel right to me, though.

That's right. I called out and there was a fire and people were screaming. And then they shut your throat off. No wonder you hated to speak.

Well - indeed, that may be true.

But as I told Matvey, I didn't feel that way.

I felt like Asha wanted to talk about ....... I was, though.

...... Hmmm, I see.

?

I mean, Asha was dying to talk about a lot of things. With you.

Matvey with a grin. It's not fair, because handsome people can be summed up with a grin.

That's why you can talk so much. Hmmm, I see.

"......?

But you didn't tell her what she needed to know.

Um, Mr. Matvey?

No, it's okay. It's this story, this story.

Something Matvey has convinced himself, but I have been left behind.

"How much do you know about us, by the way?

"You and Asha were sent somewhere with transference magic, right? I haven't seen it, but it's real. I also know that Asha unleashed [fire magic] before that. So, after about a month, you guys came back.

I see. ...... "The underworld" is not so well known.

No, you can't connect the Red Gate and the "underworld" without knowledge.

"So where is Asha now?

Yeah, he's probably at the King's by now. And aren't they talking about the future?

Matvey said.

'Do you want to stay here, or do you want to go back to the Lev Magic Empire? I know I said something about lizards earlier, but I don't have any racist thoughts or anything, just so you know. The technology of the refs is so amazing, if Asha says it's good for you, I'd like to go to the empire instead.

"Haha. ......

I think this guy is too easy to talk to. He closes the distance more quickly than Asha.

"But Asha doesn't know you're here.

I think it is,

Well, let's go.

"Go where?

You know what I mean.

I'm not going to be able to get the same thing for you," said Matvey, standing up and activating his 【Flower Magic】.

I felt a hint of magic concentrating, and then this small house began to move, shaking with a thud.

''Let's go straight to the High Elf's mansion.

"What, huh?

I thought, tremendously.

I'm the second person, after Asha, to be surprised by the high elves.

I never knew this kind of magic could be used - the whole tree, with our house on it, was moving.
