Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

Dragon Witch - Serene takes a negotiating seat. The effect was dramatic, and the Elves' chiefs acknowledged the trip to Helifarte for the reason that they wanted to meet the dragon witch rather than respond to the deal. The elves headed to the unknown world, organizing about twenty missions dispatched from each settlement, representing two people, Gi and Zana.

Ahead through the White Forest, a big man like a bear was waiting for him. Seeing a man dressed in a strange costume full of beards and never seen before, Gi and the others were alert for a moment, but relieved to realize that the carriage they had refrained from behind had a crest decorated with a great eagle. Because among the contributions that Milan brought, there was a drawing of the same.

"Oh, is your Lord Lord Lord Gi? I don't know if you've heard any rumors."

"Are you the use of Milan?

"Um, my name is Awkward Bear Bee. Don't worry, the prince has asked me to guide you to Lord Elf."

The man named Bear Beech, who descended from a brown furry animal with long faces and legs, behaved politely, not by appearance, and greeted the Ghees.

"Well, good to see you. By the way, what kind of creature is that animal?

"This is found in an animal called a horse. It's a human version of a creature named Skink, with Lord Gi on it."

"Horse, I've never seen anything weird like that."

"That's for each other. Well, then the awkward will lead the way."

Several elves boarded a carriage led by a bear bee that spanned the horse. The elves were going to travel on the skins, so Xana manipulates the leader-like skins and goes on the plains in a way that leads the herd.

The Elves, who only know White Forest, were distracted by the colorful exterior scenery, such as the view of the green meadows stretching on one side and the garden of white lilies blooming up to the horizon, although they had not neglected to be vigilant.

"Hey, what kind of place is a human city? Milan does live in a place called O'Cue or something."

"Prince Milan is in the process of preparing himself in the King's capital in order to welcome the Gi princes."

"There's Serene in that auquette place, isn't there?

Gi rides herself out of the carriage and talks in a whisper so that she can only hear the bear bee.

"Look, I don't have any good feelings for humans except me and Zana. The majority of people want to meet a dragon witch than a meeting of deals. You're not gonna be unprepared for that area, are you?

Gi really wanted to ask. I don't ask Serene to do anything special, but the first impression is still important. It's ineffective to have just a human little girl present. I can't have a dragon on the spot, and to some extent, I have to describe something different from other people on the outside.

Instead of answering Gi's anxiety, Bear Beech laughs invincibly.

"That's a pleasure to see. I'm sure Lord Gi will be surprised."

"You can trust me, right? No matter how good they are, they won't be surprised by the white leaf clothes, will they?

"Ma, you'll see."

That's all I said, Bear Beech walked faster again. Gi was convinced of that, too, and pulled into the carriage. If Milan is in motion, there may be no problem, but he used his interview with the dragon witch as bait to get the elves out of the other settlements. Here 'what, isn't it just a human child' is Gi's facial roundness.

"Can't you even think about it? But I wonder what kind of tree an auquette is. Even the biggest tree in our settlement is full of twenty at best. If Milan and the others were included, would it be nice to come in?"

"You idiot. It's not the White Forest, and there's no big tree like that growing."

It seems that the royal palace is inhabited by many human beings, but even in the settlement of the elves, trees that can inhabit large numbers are hard to grow. Xana corrects such Gi's concerns with dismay.

"I'm sure there are a lot of slightly thinner trees growing at the humans. So, about five people split up for a meeting. It sounds inconvenient, but I can't help it."

"Oh well! Humans live in places with few trees. I guess I'll have to. It's pathetic that you don't have a place to live..."

"... you'll see."

That's all Bear Beech said and quietly went down the road to Helifarte. Five days later, when the elves arrived in Helifarte, it goes without saying that they were so surprised that they saw the stone building in King Helifarte's capital that they lost their hips.

"Lord Gi, you have often come to my country"

"Whoa, here I come. Appreciate it."

When Gi tapped lightly, Milan laughed and reached out, too, and the two exchanged stiff handshakes. Gi and Milan, who are in a position to lead other companions and are also good samurai to each other, were crossing races and acknowledging each other as friends.

"I didn't know we were going to build a house with a combination of stones. It's amazing, but it's troublesome... it's hard to be human."

"Our country doesn't grow giant trees that replace houses like the White Forest."

"Hmmm...... somehow, humans are tough in humans"

The Elves' chiefs, including Gi, were always surprised by the robust construction of the Royal Palace of Helifarte, but Zana seemed to be more interested in decorations and conditioning, and every time she saw the sculptures decorated there, she was stopped by the soldiers of the guard.

"I'd like to introduce my father and mother later, and my sister, but before I do, I'd like to de-alert the other chiefs."

"Yeah, I'll let you do the sightseeing slowly later. So, are you ready for Serene?

"No problem."

From the atmosphere of welcoming elves throughout Helifarte, the vigilance of the Elves' chiefs seems to be diminishing more than on the road, but it is still not completely solved. Enemy formation yet, the air that you should not be alarmed is coming through with a glimmer.

"Get some rest today, I'd like to turn the meeting around after tomorrow, but it sounds better to move on with an advance"

"Yeah, we don't mind."

Milan and Gi decided that it would be better to hold a meeting between the humans and the Elves' chiefs immediately after taking a small pause. Encouraged by the large hall to welcome guests, the elves, although they seemed rare, still spent their time with a strong expression somewhere.

"Then it's time to go into a meeting. Dear Elf Leader, I'd like to ask you to move."

Milan prompted him to do so, and Gi and the others were taken to a large room, in the deepest part of the royal palace. It was a room that was only used to entertain the finest guests, with generally calm shades, but good quality smooth crimson carpets, white based ceramics and other ornaments.

There are about twenty Elves brought in this time, and Milan will also be among the best merchants, scholars, etc. selected for the trade, but still about thirty. This room is designed to accommodate a hundred people, so it makes for a fairly relaxing space. I would have used a little smaller rooms, but I treat Elf's mission like a broken one.

The sun was already tilting, but the lights were lit red everywhere so that even in the evening the darkness could not be felt, and in the center, dozens of people had long desks that could be hung. The elves felt surprised, entering the room as if entering an undisclosed cave, and taking their seats prompted.

"As you all know, as a symbol of peace between each other's races, we invite Serene, the dragon witch, to be present at our meeting. In the name of the dragon witch, let me hereby declare that we shall have a meaningful time for each other's prosperity."

Milan introduced Serene in a daring manner. To tell them that what is to be done is not just a deal, but a sacred act carried out under the witch of the dragon. For a statement of intent to swear by the dragon, the incarnation of the Elf God, and not to injustice or violence.

"Now, Serene, the dragon witch, I'd like you to come in."

Together with the signal of Milan, the two open doors of the entrance, which were closed, are opened by the two servants.

"……… Heh."

"Beautiful..."

Gi and Zana lost their words for a moment to the appearance of Serene, who appeared, and sighed small. The reaction of the other elves was more pronounced, glaring at the desk and watching Serene as she embarked on herself.

"Kon, Hachi"

Serene, who followed and greeted him, was dressed in majestic costumes, not in his usual worn white dress. It was woven with multiple woven thin peach dresses and wrapped around the whole body, wrapped in a cloth of fine lace that could be mistaken for a heavenly woman's clothing.

He was a selenite who usually did not wear hair decorations, but today he was wearing a golden tiara with jade on it. The golden glow and dark green gemstone brighten the selenium with its white magnetic skin and ruby-like red eyes. He has a silver wand with a small bell on his hand, and whenever Serene walks, he sets a sober tone with Shirin, Shirin.

"Is that the dragon witch……."

When one of the Elves' chiefs muttered so, they all seemed unable to speak any more than that, and pressed silently. Where have you been so vigilant about humans? Everyone was in love with the look of the dressed Serene. This beautiful girl serves as our god, the dragon, and today, watches over us. The relief it gave the elves was more than Milan could have imagined.

When Gi thumbs up towards Milan, Milan also laughs and nods back. The prospectus seems to have been a brilliant success. Serene, a human being but with a body colour that resembles an elf badly, deserves precisely the role of a bridge between man and the elf.

At the end of the greeting, Serene walks out towards the chair provided at the end of the long desk, in the so-called birthseat position. In a relaxed motion, Serene sat down with a specially ordered piece with a small table so that even the short Serene could climb.

"(difficult to walk…)"

It was elegant to behave, but not because Serene was handsome, but because she was simply wearing unfamiliar clothes, her movements were dull, but everyone smiled at Serene, who was small but not in a panic at all.

The meeting was thus ready. On one side of the long desk, the humans sit side by side, and on the other side, the elves sit side by side. Between the two races, a positional relationship can be created in which Serene sits. From a glance at it, Serene sits in the greatest position, but Serene's work is almost over with an earlier "hello". Easy stuff.

"I would like to discuss future arrangements as soon as possible. Elves will be tired on a long journey, and I want to make it light today."

The meeting was initiated in the form of Milan taking the pronunciation. It had become a much soothing mood with the advent of Serene, and the attitude of the elves gradually softened due to the fact that Milan and the others showed a different attitude than the adventurers they had ever dealt with, one that cared about this one and, above all, the reassurance that the dragon witch was seated.

"It's not just magical material, I'd like you to give up your skin."

"Skink? You guys have horses, right?

"Is that creature sturdy enough? Horses will be faster when going down the flatlands, but they are likely to be more convenient when going down the dry zones and mountains. This is a request from a merchant, not me."

"I see. So, what do you want us to do? You can't keep horses in the White Forest because they don't have magic, can you?

"What about spices that can only be taken in people? I prepare meals after the meeting, but if I like human ingredients, I provide sunshine. Plants may grow from the seed stage, while others grow in the White Forest."

"Oh, that might be good! It would be nice to finally be taught how to cook!

"Hopefully the rice will taste good. Depending on the terms, you can give up a few pairs of skink connections"

Led by Gi and Zana, Milan, as usual, will move forward with the negotiations. The other elves, who were reluctantly watching at first, gradually began to give their opinions after a while, such as "We can give something better".

"(Seems to be working)"

Milan loosened his mouth, too, as he turned only his gaze to Gi. It's not like I'm just listening to you or showing you the actual trading scene. For the elves in the other settlements, the tools of the humans want so much that they can get their hands out of their throats. If you drag me out to this spot and even unravel my vigilance, I'll be on the bargain with you later.

Milan took a glimpse of Serene, the actor on the scene. As always, Serene is sitting in a chair, watching her negotiations. She was only eight years old and said it was too early to get to the bargaining table for the adults, but she didn't make a scene and looked like she was watching us.

"(Maybe you know what our meeting is about)"

Serene is a wise child. At least that was the perception in Milan. I can't read it from a faceless Serene, but it's hard to even think of it as simply being a doll. My sister Marie can largely imagine what she's thinking, but Serene's thoughts cannot be grasped by Milan either.

"(Ri, apple…… go, gorilla…… camel………)"

Around that time, Serene was bored to do one brain sleigh. Serene was just really sitting there because she told me to sit down. There is no such thing as a desire to gain new knowledge.

Well, it's good that Elf's chief vigilance in the other settlements has been lifted, but there's been a problem here. Because of the increase in the number of people to discuss, we began to pursue the interests of our own settlements and those of our own. As opposed to it, the merchants on the human side also speak out. The air that had previously subsided becomes, in another sense, an evil object.

"That's enough for today..."

Once we needed to chill each other's heads, when Milan tried to interrupt the meeting, the sound of Shirin, Shirin and the bell rang through the meeting room. The elves and humans who were arguing about getting themselves on the desk turned their faces in the direction of the sound.

"That's it."

The audio source was Serene. Serene did not particularly feel the wind, and declared so lightly. That cool voice and the sound of the bell made both humans and elves feel like they had been hung cold water, and by apologizing to each other, the meeting ended that day.

"Serene, thank you"

"Eh?"

"You've lifted their guard, but you've stopped them."

"I didn't."

"Right. If we kept arguing like that, it would have sounded later"

Serene interrupted flatly, but if you look from Milan, Serene behaves very courageously. Mixing with the adults and just being put on the trading floor would be a considerable burden, but it's not a big deal to interrupt in the midst of a heated argument.

But Serene simply couldn't read the air and wanted to go up on time.

I'm sorry that I don't sleep thirteen hours a day, but I can't even take a nap these days because I welcome the elves, and a few of my maids made me do costume matches. If that prolonged the argument, I might have slept while sitting down. It was a dangerous place.

"Good day, Serene, brother!

"Ah, Marie."

Marie emerged from behind the pillars as Serene walked down the hallway dragging her costume. Apparently, he was waiting for the meeting to end nearby.

"How'd it go? Did it go well?

"Yeah, well."

Thanks again, Serene just sat in a chair and had a brainstorm all by herself, so I can't answer. Marie gets up early on the arrow to see if Serene's response was good.

"Hey, I want to leave tomorrow, too, can I come with you?

"No."

Before Serene answered, Milan, who had refrained behind him, immediately rejected the proposal. Marie swells her cheeks and stares at Milan with a disgruntled look.

"Eh! 'Cause my brother and Serene are out, and I'm the only one who can't, it's sloppy!

"This is not a game. Besides, it's not fun for you to get out. I'm asking Serene not to."

"You know that………………."

I understand with Marie, but she's still not convinced. What matters to the Elves is Serene, and there is no advantage to serving Marie.

Or if I put out such a nasty sister, it wouldn't be a meeting. If they sat in that air for a long time, Marie would definitely want to exit on the way, but exiting on the way is not a good impression. It's more unusual for Serene to sit quietly when she's eight years old.

"But! There's a great elf around the corner, but Serene and my brother are the only ones who know each other, and I'm bored to leave them alone!

"I can't let you go to a meeting. Why don't you show your face when you eat?"

"I don't want to treat you like that! Fine! I have an idea here too!

Left behind, Marie walked down the hall with her big crotch and went somewhere.

"Serene, you should rest now. I'll have the meal brought to the room later."

"Aye."

Serene pulled into his room as soon as he appropriately hammered Milan. I undress myself with the help of the servants and change into thin ground clothes instead of sleeping rolls.

Peeping out the window, the sky was already blue and I could see the full moon well. It's supposed to be Serene fever time from now on, but I haven't taken a nap today, so I'm pretty sleepy.

"Let's..."

Serene threw herself out onto the bed. Milan has to make lunch boxes for poisoning again because early morning and daytime training means stitching between them. For a while you will have to wake up before noon to make lunches, take a nap and sit in the evening meeting.

"Hard."

Serene sighed when she thought about her future labor. I wondered if it was okay to appeal to the Labor Standards Supervisory Office to use such a young girl, but there is no such thing in this world. I mean, I barely work. If the meeting time were doubled, Serene would die spraying blood from pores all over her body.

"Serenay!

Marie suddenly broke into the room when Serene complained about her job just to sit down. The maids who were nearby seem to have stopped at once, but it doesn't do much for Marie. Marie walks over to Serene's bed, hiding something behind her back.

"What?"

"I'm sorry about your tiredness, but please help me."

"Fine."

Serene gets half out of bed and waits for Marie's favor. If it was the Prince's wish, he would have decided to pretend to sleep, but you can't just not listen to Marie, who is a blonde lollie.

"Grrr! I made this! Isn't it beautiful?

"Ooh."

That being said, Marie poked a necklace made of flowers in front of Serene. Much like the ray used to celebrate Hawaii, it looked like Marie, a flashy lover, with bright shades based on red and yellow. Marie seems to be good at these fine tasks, as she used to make rings out of Serene hair.

"This is an important flower from my flowerbed."

"So?"

"Hand this out to everyone in the elf." It's a welcome from the noble Princess of Helifarte, Maribel. "

"Okay."

I suppose you want to keep a little of your impression in the memory of the great Elf. Marie wants to stand out.

"About twenty people came here today, right? This is a prototype, so I need to work hard and make a lot of it by tomorrow evening!

"Help?"

"... I'll just make you feel better."

Marie also knew very well that Serene had no artistic taste, so she gently refused. Upon hearing the matter, Serene fell asleep again and woke up the next morning around noon. He then fed the prince his usual routine lunch box and took a nap until evening.

"Well, I'd like to start today's meeting, but before I do, he wants to give you something"

"This, a gift"

Serene, dressed as well as yesterday, held a massive bouquet of flowers today. If you look closely, it was not a bouquet of flowers, but a bunch of necklaces made of flowers. Serene hangs the necklace on the elves. Zana in particular is happy and makes Serene a question attack.

"Wow! Beautiful flowers! I'm so grateful to have this kind of treatment for the dragon witch!

"That, Marie's, Flowers"

Serene intended to tell him, as the legend had it, that it was an ornament made by Maribel.

"Yes, you mean Marie's flower..."

The elves stared satisfactorily at the beautiful wreath around their neck. Yesterday's meeting gave me an atmosphere that I can't even flatter. This girl, who is the mediator of both, must have collected this flower called 'Marie' to feel responsible and soothe the place.

Who the hell are we to say that such a little girl cares? Elves and humans were ashamed of themselves for just claiming each other's rights. Caring for the other person, not just the profit. Having recognised it, the meeting was able to proceed with calm air throughout the day. The key Serene was sitting in a chair counting prime numbers and crushing his spare time.

At the end of the meeting, as Serene walked down the hallway, occasionally pulling her costume together, she saw Marie approaching to run.

"How was my flower wheel!?

"It was ugly."

"Oh well, good..."

Marie caressed her chest down with relief. Marie, who had intended to make the highest quality flower wheel but could not see the reaction at the scene, was waiting for her as she yakitori.

"Did you give it to him properly and say, 'It's a marybell flower'?

"I said -"

"Yes, that would be fine. Now my name will spread to the elves! I have to make more and more from tomorrow!

Marie was convinced that she could be seen at a glance by the elves and skipped back to work.

This "Marie Flower" will later be grown among the elves. It will not be long before Marie's flower source turns out to be Princess Maribel. That was another story.
