I understand Lelunda's desire to get along. Lelunda is a kind girl, so I knew she would say that. But just because you want to get along with someone doesn't mean you can. I have never met an elf myself, but I am certain that elves have their own quarrels with humans. Humans enslave even elves. In the kingdom of Fairytorov, there were fewer elven slaves, but they still existed as slaves, so ......"
Mr. Lan was told this when I, along with Gaius, went to tell him.
Then Mr. Lan looked me straight in the eye.
"---We don't know at present what the elves are thinking in inviting us. They didn't seem to have any definite hostile intentions, but they are by no means on our side. So ...... we may be in for some trouble."
"Big trouble?"
I asked.
Maybe we will be in worse trouble than if we were captured by humans.
"......?
Yes. It is a possibility, ...... but even if they do not have hostile intentions, there is a possibility that they will demand things from us that we do not intend without any malice. For example, even if they seem to be kind, their true intentions may be different. That is why we need to be vigilant."
Vigilance, or ...... I think. Even when I was in the village where I was born and raised, I happened to be lucky a lot of the time, and I've been thinking lately that if I were a godchild, my ability as a godchild might make me lucky.
It's an ability that isn't perfect, so it's not like I don't have to do anything for it to all work out. I know that because of what I've done so far. But sure, I'm probably luckier than most people. And yet, I do think that the place where I live will probably have a good harvest or something.
Thinking about it though ......, I wondered for a minute if my luck was a bit better than people, if the elves I met didn't also have a better chance of being good people or something.
When I mentioned this to Lan, she said, "That may be more likely, but there's also the possibility that it's not.
Yes."
'Well, but it would be best if we could get along with the elves, though. Yes, let's try to be.
I'm very nervous. I wonder what kind of relationship we will have with the elves. I fell asleep leaning against Lulmar's body with a strong desire to become friends with the elves.
The next day, we were picked up from the elven village early in the morning.
I think the person who came to pick me up was the same person I saw yesterday. I can't be sure, because the elves look quite similar, but I think they were probably there yesterday as well.
The number of people who came to pick us up was not as large as yesterday, but there were a good number of them. Carrying our luggage, the elves are surrounding us as we move in a hurry. Their eyes are as cold as ever. As Mr. Lan holds my hand, I wish I could make them laugh. How can I make them laugh? While I was staring at him like that, my eyes met with one of them. I smiled at him and he looked away. I was a little shocked.
But I want to get to know them better, so I want to smile and talk to them more.
The griffons and Seafo were of course heading to the elf village together. The elves seemed to be wary of the griffons and Seafo.
Reymer's gurgling voice told me that the elves were concerned about the griffons and Seafo. The griffons and seafos are my family and I love them all, but I think they can be scary or something for people who see them for the first time. In the case of all the beastmen, I thought that it was because they thought of the griffons as gods that they were so easily accepted. I wonder if there is something about the griffons and the seafo and the elves that scared them and that's why they didn't smile at us. If so, I wonder if it would be okay if I told them that I wasn't afraid.
'...... Ran, I'm not scared, if I tell them, I wonder if they will smile.'
I wonder."
Mr. Lan and I were having a sneaky conversation. I was talking in a quiet voice and he would stare at me. The village of the elves, a little distance away.
Here we are."
I was surprised at the sight of the elven village. The beastmen's village, like the human village, had carved out a forest and built houses. But the elven village, where they live, left the ---- forest as it was and built their houses there without cutting through it. They built their houses on top of the trees, as if they were part of the forest. That's what it looked like.
I was excited to see the sight for the first time.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!
And then a bunch of elves welcomed us.
----- girl and elves 2
(Maybe the girl, who is a godchild, arrives at the village of elves. Will the girl's wish come true?)
