Chapter 99 Feast in Elven Village

Crest Forest / Elf Village

The Beast King Leonhard engraved a permit stamp on the guild certificate, and the Beast Country of Gown was added to the destinations of the transfer gate.
It seems that the transfer gate of Gown is also managed in the castle, like in Trage.
Leonhard is bold, saying that I should use it as I like because he will talk to the person in charge of the gate.

By the way, Gown’s army entered Crest forest that night and was deployed as a new border guard.
I didn’t see it, but it seems to be an elite unit led by the prince, Leonhardt’s son.

“The monsters have been defeated at the right time.
I decided to keep them on guard.”

Leonhardt said, but he probably had his troops lying down nearby just in case.
If the village were destroyed due to the failure of the exam, there would be neither the former nor a child.

And that night was a great success with the elves.
It seems that Efil, who usually works as a maid, enjoyed the feast held with all the power of the village.
It’s rare for Efil but she ate quite a bit.
Even though she is half-hearted, her food preferences may be similar.

Many of the dishes were found in a forest, such as fruits and mushrooms, and the seasoning is simple.
Besides that, meat dishes of wild boar-shaped monsters caught by hunting were also offered.
This was a consideration for us and the Gown soldiers who guard the village.
I felt that it wasn’t enough compared to the familiar Efil’s dishes, but I ate too much because the elves recommended it more and more.
No, I didn’t eat one-fifth of the amount that Melfina ate.
She’s obviously eating more than her body’s volume.

The elder’s daughter often came to serve fruit wine, but every time I received it, I was wondering if she was the beast king.
It’s still troublesome that I can’t see through even with an appraisal eye.
I think it’s a terrible story to tell that the elders saw through it.

The rest was the usual banquet flow.
Sara was drunk, got entangled with me, and never left.
Gerard stood on the stand that was created before he knew it and played the highlight scene of this battle.
“Ke-lvi-n! Hiccup! Compliment me a little… ~ You don’t care ~!”

“I know, I know, Sara did her best.
Alright, so stop hugging my arm with all your might.”

“Well ~ I~, that’s… I’m not going to be deceived~!”

“That’s why I said this: If you want to go through here, defeat this one!”

“”Oh!””

(No, you did not fight)

“Hey, where are you going?”

Mishi, Mishi.

At first, I was drinking at my own pace, and eventually, I was caught up in a binge.
And my bones creaked, damn it.

“Oh, look at Kel-nii! Hey Mel-nee, it is going to be something amazing over there.”

“How is it that my left arm is going to be amazing?”

“Well, isn’t that a prerequisite? You see, it’s a common occurrence in manga.”

No, I don’t feel my arm anymore.
It’s quite difficult to use recovery magic to rebuild it, isn’t it?

“Oh yeah! Mel-nee is in an eating contest against Gown’s soldiers.
They are missing six now! It looks like the elf people are going hunting now because they don’t have enough food.”

“Could you still afford to eat Mel?”

By the time she was eating with me, some of the dishes should have been flattened…

“Ree… oh… n, it’s my time now.
Don’t disturb me.”

“Yes, yes, Sara, shall we go to bed already?” we’re leaving tomorrow morning.”

“No!”

The ‘petite’ Rion forcibly peels off Sara from me and piggybacks on her.
Sara resisted a little, but she was so drunk, she wasn’t able to compete with Rion.
Sara fell asleep quickly, perhaps because she was in a piggyback position and became drowsy.

“Thank you for your hard work, Kel-nii.”

“I was saved, Rion.
She was about to seriously bend my arm in the wrong direction.”

“That’s what Sara- nee looks forward to.
If you’re a man, you have to take it properly.”

I’m making an effort.
I wonder if I could improve the skill rank of “Iron Wall”.

“Then it’s too late and I’m going to sleep with Sara-nee.”

“Oh, good night, Rion.
As I said many times, you did really well today.”

“I am very happy with Kel-nii’s compliment.
I just did what I wanted to do.
But I wonder if I want a reward too.”

“Reward? Is there something you want?”
“Hmm, after all it’s a secret.
Good night ~”

After seeing off Rion and Sara, I finally became alone.

By the way, it’s about time.
I’m planning to return to Perth tomorrow morning.
Rion and Sara went to bed, and I should also go to sleep in preparation for tomorrow.
It’s safe to leave Gerard alone because he will get up in time, but Melfina is weak in the morning.
I think she is still eating, but can I force her to go to sleep?

“The rest… Efil.”

Elven Village / Barrier

The sound of the banquet that can be heard from the square is quiet here, on the wall, where the gentle wind flows.
Golden hair flutters in the wind.
Efil stood alone, looking at the eastern sky.

“What are you doing in a place like this?”

“Ah… Master!”

Efil noticed immediately when I called out, and she replied with a smile.
Efil’s face was red, probably because she drank liquor she was not used to.

“I have to lift this barrier tomorrow.
I promise to restore it.”

“The elder told me that it could stay as it is.
It seems that the people in the village are also very fond of it.”

“Is that so? Then, is it okay as it is?”

“I’m sure they’ll be pleased, but let’s return the water in the moat to normal.”

Hu-hu-hu, laughter was heard.

“Your face is red, but did you drink too much?”

“No, no.
This is not the case.
I only had one drink…”

“Is that so? You’re tired of being thanked a lot by the people in the village.
Don’t overdo it.”

“Yes, thank you.”

The conversation stopped and there was a slight gap.
Efil’s face was red, but her expression was mysterious.

“I’m really glad I came to this village.
The elders and everyone in the village warmly welcomed me as a half-elf, and above all, I was able to know about my mother.”

Efil’s mother, Rumil, who looked very similar to Efil, is now dead.
She couldn’t actually meet her again, but it may have been irreplaceable and valuable news for Efil, who had been lonely all her life.

“I didn’t know how my father since I were born, but there were things that made me even more happy…”

As the words became quieter in the second half, I could only hear them at the end.
However, contrary to the volume of voice, the face becomes redder and redder.

“E, Efil, are you really okay? It’s too late, let’s go to bed.”

“Yes! I’ll be with you! Ah, Master.”

When I tried to go down the stairs of the barrier, I was stopped by Efil again.

“I will do my best more than ever.
So, is it okay to serve Master for the rest of my life …?”

Efil says that as she touches her collar, while nervously looking away.
Efil wears a “subordinate collar” on her neck.
Originally, it is an item only for making slaves obey, but it is not necessary for Efil.
I tried many times to release the collar, but Efil stubbornly refused each time.

[This is my pride that my Master gave me.
Please, leave it as it is…]

Efil waits for my reply.
Even if she doesn’t have that worried face, my answer has been decided.

The stage changes and Gerard performs enthusiastically.

“And my lord, Kelvin, shouted to the enemy general… Don’t touch my woman!”

“”Hugh!””

“Well, it was a delicacy.
It was a treat.”

Melfina, at the center of Gown’s stone-dead soldiers, joins hands with the elves who are at the peak of the excitement of Gerard’s performance.

[Gerard.
I’m about to go to bed… Huh!??]

[Mu, what happened, princess?]

Gerard was setting up a lively atmosphere.

[Gerard, on the barrier.
Listen to the voices through the Clotho that accompanies Efil.]

[This is.
The Liege has closed his communication, but he seems to have forgotten the existence of Clotho.]

[Well, that’s a very disturbing line.
I’m embarrassed to hear it.]

[… OK!]

Gerard climbs the stage again.

“I made you wait, everyone! This is where it’s really interesting, listen with all your heart! The final chapter of the story played by Gerard, let’s go!”

“”Uooo!””

The elves and the revived Gown’s soldiers sprung up.

“Oh, I’m going to tell you… I’m sorry for you.”

This night, Kelvin’s chest was engraved with a deep black history.
