"Uh no! I really can taste that!!

After a long nap and walking through the dining room without any concern, I accidentally turned my face because I could hear Sister Chio screaming like that. If you look at me, I'm roaring with my head in the kitchen. I wonder what's wrong?

"Sister Chio?

"Ah, Meg. You've been embarrassed."

Sister Chio laughs embarrassed when she speaks up with Tyro and her tongue. I'm always healthy and bright, Sister Chio, so it's certainly rare to look like this, but I wish I didn't have to be shy because everyone has things to worry about. Do you even care if they're children?

"Can I take a nap?

"Yes! I just woke up. Besides, you only take a nap these days on days when you don't have a job?

"Hehe, it is. You've got your strength on you. It's a good thing!

Having said that, I gratefully received Sister Chio's Nadenade, and then asked if I had any troubles. Then Sister Chio, who lowered her brow butt like a little trouble, told me that the tomato soup Grandpa Leo used to make didn't taste the way he thought it would.

"The amount should be the same... I really don't have the depth in the flavor"

Can you take a look at the flavor? And I'm the one who let me drink the soup I was offered... oh, sorry! I don't think I know the difference from Grandpa Leo's soup! Sister Chio laughed brightly when she honestly apologized.

"Haha, that's okay, then! It's just my self-satisfaction, I'm sure. Everyone else told me the same thing about Meg."

So give me a break, and Sister Chio, who laughed, looked a little lonely.

"I'm sure I still can't accept that Leo is gone... you're so sweet, I am"

Phew, I guess Sister Chio, who sighed and looked away, remembers Grandpa Leo. Seeing that reminded me of Grandpa Leo, who lived in the other world eight years ago.

"When he used to be in the land of humans, he worked as a cock in one of the most famous shops in a big city called Oola. I miss it. Thirty years ago? The head chef was scared then."

About a year after I started working at Ortus, Grandpa Leo started living in hiding in the city as planned. That's why I sometimes went to Grandpa Leo's house on holidays and taught him to cook as promised.

Grandpa Leo told me a lot about old stories and stories in the human country, so I was intrigued to hear about him as an ex-human.

"Look, Meg. If you meet a human, you must never speak of his power or identity. No matter how kind people are, humans are a species that doesn't know what they're thinking in their bellies. Promise me."

And the members of Ortus must be, and Grandpa Leo was also very worried without leaking into the example. I don't think I rarely get a chance to meet a human being first...... I don't think I'd bother going just because I'm interested in a dangerous place where a continent lives differently from a human being in the first place and a rare elf child like me gets caught fast as a sale.

But, well, I'm pretty long lived, and I don't know if I'll ever get that chance...... I thought about it and thought I'd take Grandpa Leo's advice right for a second.

Grandpa Leo, I hear those who belong to the devil, that is, those who possess magic, are straight for better or worse. There's not a lot of front and back. Those who are kind are right kind people, and those who work evil do it with dignity without hiding it. Well, some of them trick people into betrayal, but they're a species that can't switch as well as humans.

For this reason, rough people are rough and easy to gather, which is why it is easy for such people to gather in areas with ex-names. The former guilders have been put together as an organization since Mara started putting them together, but I've heard that the feud between guilders remains the same. When I asked Mara before, she said she was personally responsible for stopping because that's the kind of sex she has. I mean, Mr. Mara is strong......!

"A kind person suddenly betrays you, or someone you thought was a bad person is really someone who thinks a lot more about things than anyone else. Humans aren't all that complicated. Meg's honest, so she's going to be fooled soon."

Ugh, I can't say anything back just because it's a fact that I'm easily fooled! This has been the case since the ring. Even if I'm careful, they fool me for some reason. Mostly it was your father who was going to trick me!

"But you can't hate humans. Because Noh is a human being, because there are different people, the insight is sharp. And exert the most power when working together in a group to do something. It is also a tremendous force for civilization to develop in a blind way by handing it over to the next generation because of its short life. Many long-lived people are satisfied with the status quo, so they're not looking for change."

Well, we and the subhumans are individual and powerful. Ortus has good teamwork, but I don't feel like we're all good at doing one thing together. I see, is it like a racial trait? When you think about it, humans are a species that you can't really insult. I'm a subject to be particularly careful with. Well, I know you're not all bad people... but the best thing to do is stay away from them in order not to be fooled.

"If there's only one thing that demons and humans have in common, it's..."

This is how Grandpa Leo's class continues. If we talk about it, it won't stop. It's a very important story, and I'm gonna listen to you, too, okay? But it's hard to be told the same story every time you go to play because of your age! I love Grandpa Leo, but this is all a little bit of a project. But you're a good boy. I tried my best to hear it every time until the end. Hehe, thanks to you I feel confident I can speak word for word...! Now you can be careful if you ever see a human in the future. Come on, but I'm tired...!

"Whoa, I've been talking too much about it. That was a boring story. I'm sorry, Meg."

"Yeah! It's an important story! Leo Ji won't worry about me, I understand."

I love Grandpa Leo, who misses the old days and talks for a long time but cares about people at all times. So no matter how many times I'm told the same story in the future, I'm going to hear as much as I want.

Because I know that the day of farewell to my normal human being, Grandpa Leo, is approaching even if I don't like it. That's why I wanted to make time with Grandpa Leo for a little longer. And my behavior was so correct that I would bite it later.
