Nerras, who had just dropped his waist, had a turmoil soon after, and the meeting was disbanded. After that, we were invited to the home of Nerras, the elven elder, and we started again here.
When I sat down on the sofa in the room, a waiter gave me a tea-like drink. It ’s a fragrance you ’ve never smelled before. What tea is it?
“It’s a decoction of several kinds of herbs collected in this forest. From the scent, it seems to be using a luxury item that contains abundant magical power.]
Dr. Melfina answered my question immediately. As usual, it can be distinguished only by fragrance.
Hum … If you have given us such a luxury item, at least you are welcome. So what were the surprises just before?
“Kelvin, I was very sorry …”
“No, I don’t care about Efil, so it’s okay. More than that …”
“I know. I want to know why I was surprised.”
“If you like, ask me?”
Nerras whispered slightly, looking at me and Efil alternately.
“… That’s right, let’s talk. It’s not directly related to the King’s request, but it’s very important for that girl.”
“For me …?”
I saw Efil holding his fist on his knees.
“That was when we were still living on the West Continent —”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story of the elder goes back about 20 years. The elves lived peacefully deep in a forest on the western continent. Like this heraldic forest, it was said that there were few contact points with the outside world because of the multiple boundaries.
Some elves went out on their own, but most people rarely leave the village. Elves are rare races and their appearance is so beautiful that they have been frequently targeted by other races in the past. It is also due to the elf race becoming closed, and now only the beasts are in friendship.
Why did these elves need to reach the eastern continent? The dragon was the cause. It’s not just a dragon. It is “Fire Dragon King”, one of the great dragon kings. Its strength is not compared with the evil dragon, and it is said that it is the highest grade in the S class.
Fire Dragon King has a nest at a volcanic entrance far from the forest. Originally there was no opportunity to contact the elf, but that day was different. It was a sunny and blessed day. Sunlight is also poured into the village of the elves where the trees grow tall and grow up. Unexpectedly, a big shadow is in the center of the village.
The villagers initially thought that it was the shadow of a cloud, but began to suspiciously think of the shadow that gradually expanded and spread. It was decisive after the trees began to be knocked down. Without destroying the borders in the forest, the giant tree will be defeated and the red giant will appear in the village.
“… embarrass me and give me an elf, otherwise I will bring the forest back to the ash”
The elves who were there were stunned. Perhaps it was so sudden that the understanding could not be caught up. I could only see the red dragon. The most unfortunate was the elf that was closest to the dragon. Because it was eaten by the dragon at the next moment. He would not have recognized that he was eaten.
“Wow, oh yeah!”
From there, it was a hell picture. The forest burns and the elves escape. Regardless of the girl or child, the dragon eats the elf, and those who fled are swallowed by fire.
The situation was picked up when the village population was about a quarter of the population. An elf woman stood before the dragon and said,
“Please turn your anger toward me. Can you miss someone else?”
The woman who was not scared in front of the dragon was one of the most beautiful and kind of elves. The dragon who was entrusted with anger has regained its reason, or stops the vandalism.
“You are not the elf I search for, but you are beautiful even if you are from a different family … Okay, if you become my bride, I will cancel the shame. Let ’s do it. ”
Higher dragons have the ability to humanize. In other words, it shows that it is possible for a heterogeneous family to have children. It is unknown what Fire Dragon King was angry with, but it was presented as a settlement proposal.
“… I understand, but please let me say goodbye to my family”
“That’s okay. Tonight, I’ll pick you up again. It’s better to finish by that time … I understand, but it’s useless to run away?”
《Leaving words to vomit, the dragon flies away to the sky. A woman who kept her eye until she disappeared, but when she confirmed she was completely gone, she cried on the spot. The woman was still young and was about to marry soon. However, the man who was the opponent was already in the stomach of a dragon …
The elder at that time also died in this turmoil, and his son Nerras was newly appointed as the elder. Usually, it will be set up as a celebration seat for the new elder, but it wasn’t much. She said that she often faced the future of the clan’s policy, oversight of the woman who became the bride of the dragon and bitter decisions.
During the surveillance, the woman spends little time with her surviving family and greets the night.
At the time of the promise, the clams and dragons appeared in silence. There are no more tears on the woman’s face. However, he said that he left a word before the dragon took off.
“Forget about me now”
A few years later, a woman’s corpse will be found at the edge of the forest. The elves were afraid of the dragon and decided to abandon their home and escape from the West. The survivors of the clan were gathered, and they aimed for a new world by relying on the eastern continental gown.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“… This is how my family went to the eastern continent. After all, I don’t know why the dragon attacked the village, and I didn’t know what elf he was looking for.”
Heavy air dominates the room.
“What if the woman who became the bride?”
“Yes, her name is Lumir. An elf that I mistaken for Efil.”
Well, if my predictions weren’t wrong, then that person would be Efil’s mother … No, the father was King Fire Dragon! ?
“No, that’s not possible. Half elves are born only between humans and elves. If your opponent is a dragon, your blood is too dark.]
“That’s right …”
“I felt relieved and the mystery deepened.” Speaking of which, Efil had a “curse of fire dragon king” when he met. Now it has been reversed and protected, but because of this curse, Efil had an unfortunate time.
…… Although it can be said that we were able to meet thanks to that. No, is Efill safer than that? ? Are you shocked! ?
“I was also acquainted with Lumir, and I’m seeing her dead with this eye …” Efil, it’s hard to say … “
“No, I didn’t have a father or mother and I don’t have a memory when I was curious, so I don’t need to worry about Nerras.
Efil puts his head on my shoulder.
…… Is it an unnecessary worry?
“It looks like you’ve met someone you can trust. I’m celebrating you as a family.”
“Ah, no, my husband is not in that relationship …”
Unusually, Efil has a lid. Sera and Melfina keep an eye out from behind, so I can’t say anything, yes.
