Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

The boulevards beneath the heavenly capital of King Helifarte, where pedestrians, travellers, street performers and a wide variety of humans go, also remain alive with the sunset and fall asleep with the night and darkness. However, there is a place where you can switch to it and show a different hustle and bustle than during the day.

It is a pleasant neighborhood in the corner of the King's Capital. Said to be a casino, a liquor store, a whorehouse, a place where entertainment was prepared to stimulate people's instincts, one of the faces of Helifarte's nights. They're different people walking down the boulevard, full of vibrancy that's different from noon.

One young man was walking through the mess. He is wearing a jacket that covers his entire body perfectly, so he doesn't know his fine physique. It is rare to say that white skin is rare in red eyes, which can be seen slightly from the gap in the hood, but it is not even noticeable in the crowd.

But he is undoubtedly the rarest person in this compartment right now. Because he's not human.

"Uh, already, what is it here? It's a mess."

Those who were not dressed in a coat - Elf's chief Gi walked alone through the streets of the pleasure district like swimming in a sea of people, tongue-in-cheek.

"Serene guy, what are you gonna do to me in here?"

Gi was complaining about the bump and remembering a request that Serene had entrusted to him a few hours earlier.

"Gi, gi"

"Am I?"

Gi, who also completed the meeting with the human being today, was on his way back to his guest bedroom, prepared in the royal palace. That's when someone accidentally called their name. Looking around, I saw Serene with a slight face from the shadow in the hallway, inviting him for a moment.

"What is it? What can I do for you?

"Yeah."

As Gi walked over to Serene, Serene pulled Gi's hand and led her straight to her private room. Serene watches the neighborhood, confirms that no one is around, and then closes the door.

"Gi, please, there is"

"Please? You're human, aren't you? Then you should ask Milan, not me..."

"Shh!

Serene stood her index finger in her mouth and appealed to her not to shout. Gi lurks his eyebrows in the trick.

"He can't."

"Is that something I can't ask Milan to do and only I can do?

"Iguzaku no!

"Iguza... what?

I don't know if I would call him the prince of one country, but it was as if I had ignored such a thing, and Serene, who had his intentions drawn from it, gave me a glowing expression. Remaining in the witch's clothes he was wearing at the conference, Serene walks up to the closet, takes the pieces of paper from the drawer, which are quadrupled, and gives them to Gi.

"What the hell? A map?"

"That, Helifarte, Chizu"

Serene's retrieved paper depicted a vast array of miscellaneous views of King Helifarte's capital. I have previously noted information from Butler, but the overall letter is dirty like Serene.

"(You're just a kid around here)"

Gi kind of smiles at how much Serene can be called a dragon witch, and how young she still deserves to be. It's not childish, I'm purely poor at painting, but the letters are dirty.

"So, give me this map, what do you want?

"Here, here! Greetings!"

"Here? You didn't draw it on anything, did you?

Serene The handmade maps say "Giggle" or "Show Me" in words like the blemishes have curled, but the part Serene pointed to is blank and nothing is drawn.

"Here, shine."

"What? Me?

"Yes."

Serene's expression is serious in itself, not the atmosphere in which he is joking. Gi mouths the question that came to her mind.

"Why don't you rely on humans? Now that you're in power, there's someone who can use it."

"No, Gi, come on."

"I'm not in charge... I'm not sure what it is, but then I'll go with Zana..."

"Zana, no!

Since Serene denied it in a strong tone, Gi is just a little surprised and asks.

"So what the hell am I supposed to do?

"Gi, alone, go"

"Just me?

"A lifetime, wish!

Serene hands together and begs Gi. It must mean something to the wise Serene to ask him to come this far. With that in mind, Gi cruises a little and opens his mouth.

"At Sama's request, the dragon witch."

"Ha ha!

"Hey, what are you?

As soon as Gi accepted, Serene circled over the carpet and took the odd action of rubbing her forehead. In Japan, it's dirt, but in the other world, it's only bizarre. Because of this strange behavior, heretical children were sometimes treated, but Serene did not think very deeply about the area.

For the record, Serene activates "a lifetime favor" a few times a year, so she shouldn't really take it.

- So Gi wore a coat to hide the long ears of the elves and rolled out to the city at night. When you rely on the map to get there, you'll see the decadent atmosphere. That's right, Gi was confused by this too, but I have to do more than Serene asked me to do.

"If you look into it, it would help if Zana were here."

Gi, intoxicated by man, leaned against the wall of the proper building and sighed one. Ecological surveys of forest animals are a treat, but in people's cities and the White Forest, it's as if they're not on their own. Zana handles magic better, her eyes and ears better. If it's for investigative purposes, it would be better if Zana were here.

"But now I know why Serene didn't want Zana to come."

I have little idea of human culture, Gi, but while wandering around the city without guessing, I had some idea what purpose this compartment was working for. Thanks to the fact that we often see things like a male and female encounter, Gi was also called out to the woman several times.

Even a man can speak up for himself. The beauty and ugliness of humans and elves are so close that I can't help but stand out if I bring Zana to this place. Serene wants you to do your research as securely as possible. In that sense, it is easier to move alone.

"Hold on, what am I supposed to do………"

Gi scratches his head from the top of his coat. Summarizing the instructions I received from Serene before I went out, I said, "Fine, go to this district and experience it. Don't get lost. If you go, you'll see." They didn't tell me exactly what to look into, it was a tear out.

"I don't know what to look for in a place like this."

"Oh, isn't that what your brother wants, too?

"Am I? Who, you?

When I was confused in the unfamiliar air, I was accidentally called from the side. Gi finds herself in an immediate position, but it seems she is still a young woman who has spoken to her and has no hostility. I just properly fixed my long hair, and I'm wrapped up in high-exposure clothes. Gi with a keen sense of smell had a little perfume on his nose, but that didn't show up on his face.

"Oh, brother, good man. Me, I'm free tonight, how about you join me?

"I'm not free."

"For that matter, you've been in the same place for a long time. What? Looking for someone, even if they're looking for you?

"That's not why……………"

"Hey, why don't you come talk to me for a second? Let's have dinner ahead of us."

"... good."

I got a little lost, but Gi decided to get on with her suggestion. Honestly, I'm too unsolicited with White Forest to know what to start with. It wouldn't be such a bad hand to take up this woman's suggestion.

That's how Gi was led by a woman and into a tavern just around the corner. It's a common building shop in this section, and it seems to be thriving quite a bit, and everyone is drunk and hooked up with women as it sounds in the narrow stores. Due to all the noise on each side, no one seems to be particularly concerned about Gi and her sitting at the table in the corner.

"Brother, don't you take your coat?

"It's a little bit of a translation."

"Phew, ma, fine."

That's how she calls the clerk and orders proper food and liquor. Gi said the dishes and the interiors of the store were rare, making her gaze clear.

"Hey, brother, sounds like a rare tavern, but aren't you from this city?

"Yeah, it's not 'human' around here."

"Heh, so where are you from?

I wonder how Gi answered the words. Essentially, the Elf settlement has no clear lines, and the entire White Forest is the land of the Elves. So I can't specifically answer like "City of O O".

"From where... right, the woods"

"You're a woodland... a lot less. Oh, okay! You're just coming to Tokyo!

"Ma, that's the place."

She seems to have determined from the unfamiliar atmosphere of Gi's people that she is a drifter from the de countryside. Gi is not a runner, and he is not a human being in the first place.

During such exchanges, meat-based dishes and cheap liquor are brought in. She reaches for the booze first and stirs it up all by herself. Gi barely got his hands on the dish, drinking only the water. She doesn't seem particularly concerned and keeps talking so that she can curl and stand alone.

"The city is a scary place. If the countryman walked alone in a place like this, he'd wind up all the money in a shop full of sugu, right? Hey, how's it going? I'll escort you gently, okay? I'll keep it cheap."

"That's why I'm not free!... I don't know what a human is."

"It's weird. Even your brother is not human."

She grins shards in a drunken mood, but Gi silently drinks up a glass of water. From the point of view of Gi, I can't help but feel that this space itself is heterogeneous.

The Elves value family ties. It's normal to lean in with someone you've decided on for the rest of your life, and the very notion of these overnight affections is hard to accept by Gi.

"Oh, you're such a beauty inviting you, but you're a boring brother. Or do you have some weird sexuality that you can't normally say? Like male, pediatric hobbies? If that's the case, I can't do it here. This street is a healthy playground."

"What do you think I am... No, wait a minute. Is that the way you say it, is there another place like that?

"Hehe, you want to know?

With this, Leo will be able to establish himself as the fourth faction in the current three-ways succession war.

"Well, you can tell me specially if you want to buy me dinner. The only people who live in this block know the back route."

"Back route? This is the place the king manages, isn't it? Do you have a back or a surface?"

"You idiot. There are many ways in the metropolis to deceive a great man's eyes."

She lurks her voice and puts her face closer to Gi. Gi also listens.

"The joyful neighborhood shops around here are licensed to operate by the King, but there are some illegal places that aren't. It's supposed to be an orphanage."

"Hey."

"Hmm? What?

"What's a cozine?

"From there!?

How rural she is, she almost stumbled onto the table unexpectedly, but the act of teaching ignorant aesthetics seems to soak up quite a sense of superiority, and she talks about the orphanage's formation.

During that conversation, Gi also understood that an orphanage was an institution for the care and upbringing of unaccompanied children.

The Elves are like one family in the entire White Forest, and if their parents die from injuries, illnesses, etc., the children are kept in a nearby settlement and taken care of by all the Elves in the Forest. So from Gi's point of view, the facility called the orphanage itself felt strange, but I think it might be because the density of life is different between elves and humans.

"So, what does that cozine have to do with the back route? From what I've heard, it's a good place to raise an orphan."

"So... kara, there's a miso around here."

"No, I don't know why."

The woman laughs to riddle Gi, but Gi wrinkles between her eyebrows. Gi doesn't know the rules of the human world very well, so it's hard to imagine.

"You know, only adults can work in pleasure streets. But there's a place where you're taking expensive money to satisfy the pediatric hobbyists I just talked to. That's an example orphanage."

"Huh!? Isn't Cozine a kid protection facility?!?

"That's true for most orphanages. But, you know, there are places that don't. On the face of it, I applied as an orphanage and used my good offices in the back office. Oh, keep this to yourself. It's a pretty bad story."

"…… I see."

Hearing so much, Gi suddenly stands up and tries to leave the place behind.

"Hey, wait a minute! Where are you going!?

"I'm ready to go with that cozine."

"Oh, you know, it's just a rumor, right? I don't know the details either."

"I don't mind. Informational."

Leaving behind, Gi tries to leave the store early enough. To Gi, who suddenly changed her attitude, she remembers something important in a hurry, although she was decent.

"Wait a minute! You have to pay for a proper meal!

"Ah, evil no. Is that enough for you?

Gi clutches under her coat and when she takes out a single large piece of gold coin, screws it into her hand.

"Buh!?

"What is it? Isn't that enough?

"Yes, no, it's enough."

"Then there's no problem. Now, if you'll excuse me."

"Oh, yeah, there you go. Haha, haha..............."

Seeing her suddenly humbled, Gi tilted her neck. Seems to be enough for the meal, so I left the store waving my hand.

The woman left behind also leaves the store to escape when she finishes accounting for a meal she hasn't eaten yet. He dives into the shadows as he runs, takes the gold coins he receives out of his nostalgia and stares seriously.

"This is what royalty uses………."

The gold coin offered by Gi was a large gold coin engraved with the Great Eagle engraving. It is the most valuable of the coins of Helifarte and is comparable to her salary for a few months in one piece. Giving it away without...

"I wonder if you're an aristocratic spy. I've talked a lot."

From her point of view, there was a nice looking guy from the countrymen round out to see, so I just called out with the intention of making fun of him. I wish I could take it as a guest tonight.

But if that unpopular behavior is an act to elicit information behind the pleasure streets, it is a considerable bender.

"So I guess this is a pause."

She returned the gold coin to her nose with a slightly trembling hand. That's a ridiculous amount to pay for a meal. I guess that means "don't say anything else about information that I'm listening around."

"Ha, hurry home!

I don't have a direct relationship with myself, but when I get involved any more, I feel that something is going to go wrong. With a cold sweat on her spine, she prayed that no disaster would befall her. I'm fortunate that I didn't give my own name, and I didn't ask for their name. If you're being nice, you'll probably be fine.

But she was making one mistake. Gi's offering of gold coins is nothing but a silence. I simply didn't know the monetary value so I just offered the biggest thing on hand.

Not knowing that, she feared that a royal hound of great arms had appeared, and she disappeared into the midst of the night as she hid herself.
