Episode 286: That famous race
"You guys, British people ... you are not, right?"
"Yes, we are people from a country called Japan."
The man, who no matter how you look at it, looks like that famous fantasy race, asks us while looking at our appearance. I nod and tell him that we are from another country.
"Right. You said you went through Stonehenge, but how did you get here?"
"Yes, when my sister found the Fairy Circle there and filled it with magical power, we found ourselves in this forest before we knew it."
"Haa ... Those idiots ... I'll have to punish them thoroughly later. Certainly, I can feel that young child has an enormous magical power that surpasses even us. With that magical power, it is possible to use the Fairy Circle as a foothold to activate Stonehenge and come here."
When I answer the next question, the fantasy race man lets out a sigh and makes an exasperated face, then stares at Nanami seriously and rubs his chin with his hand.
Nanami is a little scared and hides behind my back, letting him see only her face.
"I'm sorry, did I scare her."
"No, no, I'm sorry for my Imouto's rudeness."
"No, it can't be helped since it's a young child."
The leader's expression looks embarrassed at Nanami's appearance. I apologize to him for Nanami hiding behind me, and the leader shakes his head with a slightly softer expression than before.
He might have eased his guard a bit.
This race in stories tend to dislike interference from the outside, but I don't think that's the case with these people.
Even so, it's amazing how anything they do looks good.
"So? For what purpose did you come here?"
"We have no purpose. We came here by chance. If it's better for us to go home, we'll go right back. But, if possible, I'd like to visit your village."
"How is it?"
"The boy's words don't seem to be a lie."
The question is asked again, and I become curious about the race in front of me, so I can't help but express my desire without being able to suppress my curiousity.
Hearing my words, the leader turns to the woman standing nearby and asks, and she nods while answering.
Do they have the ability to tell if it's a lie?
It seems I shouldn't say anything careless.
"I see. I didn't expect someone who wasn't from the British royal family to come ... When was the last time we met a human?"
"It must have been about two hundred years ago."
"I see, in it's own way, it's been a long time."
They talk deeply while looking at us.
I wonder if two hundred years is a long time for that race after all.
"There may be some meaning to the face that humans have come from the outside world at this time. These people don't seem to give off any evil feelings, so let's take them to the village."
"I think it's fine. For some reason, I get the feeling that these people are going to do something for us."
"I want to hear stories from the outside, too."

"I'm curious about the clothes of those children."
When the leader gives off an atmosphere of welcoming us, the other members respond in line.
Ohh, it's quite favorable.
"If you heard our story, you should understand, but we decided to invite you to the village."
"Ohh!! Is that okay?"
I knew it to a certain extent, but being welcomed once again fills me with surprise and joy.
"Ah, I just want you to listen to our wishes just for a moment."
"Well, I don't know if we can be of any help."
However, it seems to be conditional. However, it is questionable whether we have the power to respond to their wishes.
I involuntarily look confused.
"No, I don't care as long as you just listen at the least. Give it a try, we won't be unreasonable."
"I see. I don't know what we can do, but if you don't mind, I'd like to hear from you."
To the leader, who looks at my expression and answers with a soft expression, I accept if it's just to listen to the story.
"Umu. Then, let's guide you to our village."
Saying that, they start walking ahead. After walking about ten minutes while following them, we see something like a rampart made of wood in front of us.
"Captain, welcome back!!"(TN:Taichou)
"Ohh. I brought human guests for the first time in 200 years."
"Umm, is that okay?"
"Ah, Ryuuna has already confirmed it."
"Is that so, then I'll open the gate right away."
"Please."
The gatekeeper-like man rushes over as soon as he sees the leader, and when he talks with the leader, the gate opens.
It is like a different world inside.
There is an atmosphere that exactly fits the fantasy of this race's life.
A number of incredibly thick and tall trees tower over us, with doors attached directly to their trunks, and there are parts that look like windows that are hollowed out, suggesting that they live in trees.
All of them are good-looking, men and women both are slender and narrow.(TN:It technically says slender twice, but he says Slender in Engrish for the first one so I won't translate both the same.)
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sarion Gillos Kongur. I am the guard captain of this Kongur Village. Welcome to our Elf Village."
For us, who are extremely impressed by the fantasy world, Sarion's introduction, and the welcome into the village felt like the backdrop.
As expected, they are the super famous race called elves.
