The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

The chief, Mr. Lucar, is 300 years old - a story I heard later. You're ten times as alive as I am.

The Dark Elf clan around the Nigel Forest has a lot of blood relatives of this Mr. Lucar, and so does Mr. Lassia, apparently.

Before the full-scale meeting with the Chieftain - I joined the Yangtze cruiser Pegasus with the cruiser Ambal and ordered the captured cruiser and the transporter to exit the Great Empire airspace with a towed wire.

Because if you run into other Great Imperial Aircraft and they call you, it's a hassle. By the way, the only reason I let you tow is because we have abandoned the Imperial Troopers from the ship, so there are no manned personnel.

Because it was not equipped with a Ship Core, I believed in the engine of the Terra Fidelitia ship and the power of a genuine floating stone, causing it to pull up to high altitude.

Well, after that instruction, I finally came to a meeting with Chief Dark Elf. Well, Mr. Lassia and Mr. Lucar were following me when I instructed the troops or moved to the bridge for that matter.

"Again, thank you, Marquis Tokitomo. There are places where humans attack us and honestly we don't fit in emotionally, but your actions have soothed our feelings for humans."

"That's fine. Honestly, we have nothing to do with what the people of the Great Empire have done, so it's only annoying to denounce or win, but it's nice to be able to help out my friend, Mr. Lassia's clan for the first time"

"... Dear Left. That wasn't a word for the benefactor. I'm sorry."

I apologized softly, so I nodded and responded. Well, I know you want to hit one of your complaints somewhere.

"We were helped. Therefore, Marquis Tokitomo, I would like to return the favor to you. Lassia told me that there was no gratuity or reward for this rescue..."

Mr. Lucar turns his face and turns away like Mr. Lassia is in trouble.

Uh, speaking of which, when you offered to cooperate with Mr. Lassia, you didn't, in particular, talk like that. When there's a woman in trouble, she tries to help.

Mr. Bell pinched his mouth at me like that.

"Never mind, chief. 'Cause this guy's always like this."

"You don't want anything in return, do you...?

"No, quite."

To Mr Lucar, who is surprised, Mr Bell said Nitali.

When I heard about the crisis inside the dark elves, everyone, including Mr. Vaud, was moving in good faith, and so what are we talking about rewards and gratuities... No, let's be honest. I didn't think about the reward at all then either.

He just said he had a strong desire to stop it because he knew what the Great Empire was doing.... Thinking about it, you captured two airships after crushing enemy action, so you just foreclosed the operation you tried to do sooner or later, and you haven't lost any money at all.

"Well, if you'd like to thank me, I'd appreciate it."

That's courtesy.

"It's just that you guys have lost a lot of your settlement and family...... Can't you afford it?

"Sure, a few hardware items, armaments passed down to the clan. After that, I will provide you with personnel from my clan."

"Provide personnel......?

"I serve you as a servant. If you need a warrior, give a good one, if you want a woman (stomach), give a beautiful one."

Is that like a slave? If you want a woman, you can also accept her as the so-called Harlem Superior. Life surrounded by a dark elf beauty with a beautiful appearance...... There's something to be done, but, well, I don't do that.

Providing people as a labor force instead of gold is a good story, he said, in this world.

Mr. Lassia raised his hand.

"The chief, his role, I will volunteer."

Huh...? What, are you suddenly volunteering? What do you do with the Adventurer Guild...... and I thought that said I would retire or something when my successor is decided.

"I was the one who relied on the power of the Marquis Tokitomo. If so, it makes sense for me to take that role first"

……

……

The unspeakable atmosphere was the same not only for me, but also for Mr Lucar. Instead, the eyes that look at his Mr. Lassia. I feel like I have something to say apart from this.

Mr. Vaud is patting his eyes, and even Mr. Bell is grinning bitterly. Well, as far as I'm concerned, you're welcome to have a beautiful lady, Mr. Lassia.... I turned to Mr. Lucar.

"As for gratuities and stuff, dude, why don't we talk about the future?

"Uhm."

Mr Lucar also agreed.

"What will happen to us from now on?

"For once, the Nigel Forest… was Aconito, heading that way"

I put my arms together, though.

"The Great Empire is not on the ground because it has withdrawn so far. But..."

"There's a chance they'll come back."

"Exactly. Now that we've got you back, we can think of a way to come back."

That area is a dark elf territory with no human rulers. As a Great Empire, you are also free to come because it is a land that no other nation needs to shy away from.

"Even if their iron warcraft attack, we can't fight them"

Mr. Lucar also frowns seriously. A warcraft must mean a tank or something.

"And even back inside, it's hard to prepare for enemies who have to be rebuilt and don't even know when they're coming..."

"When you do, you move somewhere or something?

Mr Vaud opened his mouth. Whether it is temporary evacuation or becoming a refugee is a matter of opinion.

"Give yourself away to other dark elf settlements......?

"I don't know. We have strong clan ties, but we are not that close to other tribes. Few tribes will welcome them favourably, even if they avoid strangers"

It's just - said Mr. Lucker.

"If it's a marriage, it's not a story. If there are a small number of young people, they are welcome. But my entire tribe won't be able to."

Here, and the chief of the dark elf, saw Mr. Lassia, but for some reason she missed her gaze. Mr. Lassia said he ran away from the inside because of his engagement, so maybe it's tangled up.

"Then there's one idea you can come up with."

I shrugged my shoulders small.

"As a place of refuge, let my Tokitomo realm accept it"

"Oh...... no, but are you sure, Marquis Tokitomo?

"Yeah, it's the marquis, so when it comes to me, I can lend you about the land."

There should be no law in the kingdom of Veliraldo to deny entry to other races. So much so that subpeople have a reputation for tolerance. For once, I'll make sure.

"It's a temporary evacuation until most of it cools down near the Nigel Forest. A lot of people say it's good to be born and raised in Aconito."

Hometown is the best. There will also be a genuine desire to go back if you can.

"Oh, if you want to settle here, let me protect you as a citizen. Of course, you'll have to pay a certain amount of taxes then."

Be free to stay temporarily or permanently. Tokitomo territory has a total population for its size.

"That's an offer I don't even wish for. Express our deep gratitude as head of the clan for your generous suggestion! Thank you, Marquis Tokitomo"

Mr. Lucar bowed his head deeply.
