The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

"Hey, what's that?

Isaac, red on his cheeks following Bridget, pointed out that it was a large international building unlike the one reserved for each chamber of commerce.

"That's the dining room. It is not only used as a resting place by visiting elves, but also as a dining room for those who work in the exchange."

Isaac is convinced by Marcus' explanation.

The villages of Claude and the others, they walk in the woods for about an hour.

And this exchange is also about an hour away from Tilly Hill.

Humans and elves, there better be a place to get a meal for both.

I guess it was built for that.

"I want to go over there first"

"Of course, I don't mind. I'll show you."

Marcus leads you to the entrance to the dining room.

During that road, the kid with the knight really stood out.

This time a more intriguing gaze gathers in Isaac.

I guess he heard about Isaac from those who stayed in the Wang capital.

"What have you come to do with an armed knight?" I look at it with some anticipation, "whoa, I wonder if I'm going to do something," rather than with an alert gaze.

It is a good nuisance.

Streets were maintained from Tilly Hill to the exchange.

Trash cans and even benches are placed to the left and right of the road.

From one of the benches, a human man came running over talking to an elf man.

"Dear Isaac. Sorry I'm late to say hello. We thought we'd arrive tomorrow."

It's Glenn, who's been tasked with coordinating interactions with the elves in the field.

He was dressed in a rough summer outfit: a short sleeve shirt and trousers.

I bow my head deeply and apologize.

"Now that the road is ready, I've tried to see if I can travel in three days. We got here earlier than planned, so don't worry about it."

Isaac says not to worry, but rarely, such as someone who can say so and think "it's certainly worse to come early" again.

I got a little rested, but Glenn was doing so at first.

"I am truly sorry"

Glenn apologizes again.

"Fine. Well, then, lightly tell me what your work here was like."

Isaac tried to change the subject by waving about his work.

Glenn tells me he's "really sorry".

Apologizing when you feel like you've failed is something I remember myself in my previous life.

At times like this, the apologizing side would have appreciated changing the subject.

So Isaac forced him to change his story by waving a "topic he had to talk to his boss" about his job.

"Oh, Claude and Bridget may have friends or something, and you can go see me first. I'll be right there."

"... well, I haven't seen you in a while, so let's be sweet with your words"

"Well, then, later."

Bridget waved at the potent weather, but Claude seemed to have noticed Isaac's sincerity.

It's awkward to talk about elves in the presence of elves.

That's why he said, "Why don't you go see your friends" and get rid of them.

Most of all, I'm not going to take a crappy story like this on the side of the road when you ask me.

I just had them go just in case.

It gets in the way of traffic, so we move to the side of the road and then start talking.

"So, have you ever worked here and thought of anything?

Glenn thought with a difficult face to Isaac's question.

And after thinking about it, the answer was...

"You're no different than a human except for your diet."

- It was the same impression Isaac once had.

"Oh......, yeah. We lived together until 200 years ago. Seems like even when we start living separately, it doesn't change much because parents teach their kids a lot."

It doesn't look like Claude and the others are wearing cats either.

If you have a similar impression here with lots of elves, then I guess the whole elf has a similar lifestyle and common sense as a human being.

I was expecting more mystical features, so it's just a little disappointing but not a bad thing.

The similarity of life means that we can live together if we respect each other.

Just because we're living together doesn't mean we're going to have a mismatch and we're not going to hate each other.

The most difficult act of "respecting the other person" seems easy.

That point needs to be noted.

"My job, too, was so much about checking the Chamber's income and expenditure... There's plenty of time to chat to get to know the elves."

"I think it's a good thing that Glenn, who works near your father in the future, knows a lot about elves."

Glenn's real job is as secretary.

The secretary's job involves "communicating information about the person he meets" to his manager.

The great aristocrats meet with various opponents, so even if they remember their names, they sometimes forget what they are doing.

Therefore, it is one of the important tasks to support your boss by telling him in advance that "Master O is the lord of XX, with whom His Excellency and I have spoken □ □ before".

Being familiar with the elves will be a great strength when Glenn returns to the secretary.

Having a chat in my spare time was more of a recommendation.

And it's not to take taxes that he's checking the Chamber's income and expenditure here.

This time vice versa.

To make up for any deficit.

- The Marquis Wellrod family will cover the deficit if it falls in deficit due to the difference between the expenditure on buying goods from the elves and the income from selling the goods to the elves counterparts.

This is due to Isaac's proposed purchase price increase period called "AC Easter".

"To make it easier for elves to shop," he said, letting the purchase price be colored, so he promised to make up for it if he bought it for more than the market price and went into deficit.

Isaac was going to pay for it on his own stomach, but since it had to do with friendship with the elves, he was going to pay at the Marquis Welrod's house.

One of Glenn's tasks now is to check the books so that the merchants don't lie about a "huge deficit" and demand excessive filling.

Because the exchanges were still small, one person was able to do so.

"I haven't even heard of a major problem, and so far it doesn't seem to be a problem."

Isaac looks at Marcus.

He replied ”Nothing” by nodding.

Tilly Hill's guards are stationed just in case, so if there's a big problem, they should be telling us.

The fact that nothing is said means that there is no problem.

"Oh, speaking of which,"

I shrugged as if Glenn remembered something.

In response to the whining, his gaze gathered, and he prefaced, "It may not be a big deal," he said.

"I feel there is a difference in thinking between Elf elders and young people. The elderly have the impression of being an elf I have read in a book, but the young man felt somewhat... stubborn (...). It's roughly 200 years old, so maybe it has something to do with the fact that we started living apart from humans."

"Oh, sure."

Isaac felt something, too.

The number of elves I met is small, so I can't be certain, but the elves I went with to the king's capital were basically calm and nature lovers.

In the meantime, the young Bridget was floating in a bad way.

So are the two boys I met earlier in the plantation zone.

Children like "Ethics also change depending on money".

I felt crushed by the fantasy I had about a species called Elves.

(Was it also any change when we broke up and started living?

Thinking about it for a second, Isaac had a nasty word on his mind.

I didn't like to keep that in one of my own, and I accidentally put it in my mouth because I wanted someone to deny it.

"Because I'm no longer involved with teachers on the other hand called human beings..., or..."

"It's..."

Glenn and Marcus frown and face each other.

What an unpleasant answer.

I don't want to think that humans were used as teachers on the other hand of elves.

But if they say so, they also think it might be.

The young man born after the interruption of exchanges in the war had no teacher on the other hand.

Because of this, the young man grew up in what is now a human stinking elf.

The inability to say, "Well, you're going to be like a human being," made it harder to educate.

I don't want to think about it, but I can't say enough that it's unlikely.

"As it were, well, you can't help thinking about this. Was there anything else?

Teng himself, who turned it into an unpleasant air, tries to change the story.

There was no overflow of compassion there to try to change the story for Glenn earlier.

Now there was a wandering, pathetic little thing there trying to escape my responsibility.

"That's right... I was also talking to Lord Marcus and Baron Olgren, but I'm not sure if I'm going to make a declaration."

"What announcement?

"Now my impression has changed from someone I'm not good at to someone I can talk to surprisingly normally, and the people who work in the store talk to easily. As much as I chat lightly, too, I am relieved of the initial tension. That's when we need to draw your attention once and for all now. At that time, we are in the process of discussing whether to add the phrase" If anything touches the elf's scales, please report the circumstances at that time. "

"I see. Are you wary of an inadvertent word in a little chat"

This is something that humans should be aware of.

Like, "You're fat." "Your hair's thin, huh?" and other words that hurt the person even if I meant to say it mildly.

Even though it's close to humans, the elves are heterogeneous.

I don't know what words touch the scales.

I cannot fail to say what I said once, but I can avoid repeating the same mistake.

Collect words that make the elves angry and “don't use them" and prevent them by making a list.

So to speak, I thought you were going to make something like a no-broadcast glossary.

"I think that's a good idea. Why were you lost?

"It felt like Lord Marcus wouldn't agree. At that time, the consultation called," Well, let's wait for Isaac, who was going to visit Tilly Hill, to make his decision, "so I put my decision on hold."

"Why are you disagreeing?

Isaac asks Marcus, tilting his neck.

Marcus seemed spicy to say, but Isaac can't just ask and not answer.

I opened my heavy mouth.

"I thought it would be more certain and problem-free to teach someone a warm elf a 'word you shouldn't say to the elf' if it was enough to deal with it after it happened..."

I stopped talking there.

Because the air in the field is heavier.

It was Isaac who opened his mouth to cut off the air on the spot.

"Why didn't you tell me when we were talking about it?

It wasn't the tone to blame, but Marcus was feeling as if he was being told to "say it fast".

Isaac actually thought so, so his intuition isn't wrong.

"I've been working under Viscount Graves so I couldn't figure out how far to go to speak on the conference floor on elves. So as much as I ask Lord Glenn and Father for their opinions and agree or disagree. I was wondering if I could give my opinion."

Marcus had a good point.

Normally in my position, I wonder to what extent I can say what I stepped in.

Just because you were asked for an opinion, it's not like Isaac to give an opinion without hesitation.

"Nah, I see..." Isaac had become incapable of saying anything too plainly.

Because I was noticed by my carelessness.

Glenn opens his mouth instead.

"Then don't hesitate to say if you have an opinion in the future. Our main opponent is Elf. It's better for all of us to think and act on how well our friendship with the elves works rather than shy away from them."

"Okay. Let me do that."

Marcus is relieved that he wasn't scolded.

Along with that, the air on the spot also relaxes.

And the elves, who were sitting and standing on the bench, a little further away, also relieve themselves.

Their long ears are not decorations.

They have better hearing than humans to hear the footsteps of prey.

I thought it was bad, but I listened to Isaac and the others from where they left off.

After eavesdropping, I found that Isaac and the others were seriously worried because of their friendship with the elves.

This is good news for the elves.

The word of mouth spreads, and those who are separated from humans are inspired to open their hearts a little bit.
