I thought it was going to work out, but I never thought it would end this way. ....... I'm standing there now, thinking like that. The world doesn't always work out. .......
In front of my despairing eyes, Princess Meek was looking at me with a strange expression on her face. What are you upset about? She must be thinking that. This girl, who just a few seconds ago, with a single word, had sent me to the brink of despair, seems to be completely unaware of it.
Last night, Rico suggested me to write a letter to Princess Meek, and I immediately urged her to do so. But the answer I got from her was a shock.
"A letter? What's that?"
"Write on a piece of paper and tell them how you feel."
"Letters? What are letters?"
I never thought I would know how to write. That's why you can't write a letter. ....... I think desperately, almost to the point of thought-stopping. How can I tell someone who can't write that "I am Meek, daughter of the Elf King"? Or rather, how do elves communicate? Well, why don't they just talk? I wonder if I will be able to memorize it all. .......
While thinking about such things, on the other hand, I think about what I am going to do. At that time, I felt a presence behind me.
"Can I help you?"
When I turned around, I saw Soleil. She was holding Seisam in her arms and smiling softly. I told her briefly that Meek couldn't write and didn't know how to read in the first place.
"Hmmm. In that case, how about communicating with magic power?
"Magic?"
"Yes. We at Siljus can create an item called <>. Why don't we use it?
"Tippet's Ruling?"
"Huh? Did you forget? You used it once, didn't you, Mr. Linos?"
Soleil smiled glamorously when she said this. Lately I've been thinking that Soleil has become even s*xier since she gave birth to a child. I have asked Rico and the others about it, but they say it is not true. Rather, they even say that they have become calmer because they are no longer trying so hard ...... to be s*xy, which they used to be. It is rare to see such a difference in evaluation between boys and girls, perhaps the point of view is different.
"Ummm, did you forget? The first time we met."
"The first time you met Soleil?"
I say this and go back to my memory. As I recall, the first thing I remember is that Soleil was lying on the side of the road, hungry. ...... Apparently not. The look in Soleil's eyes scares me. She looks as if she's saying "You promised not to tell me that, didn't you? ...... Yes, we met in the drawing room of the mansion, I think. As I recall, he gave me a piece of paper.
"Oh, the paper from that time."
"Yes. That paper that reflects our evil hearts is Tippet's judgment. I think we should apply it. Please wait a moment.
Soleil left the child with me and went outside. Fortunately, Seisam was sleeping soundly and was completely untouched, but I had no idea what she was up to. About ten minutes later, I guess. She appeared to us again holding a piece of white paper.
"Mr. Meek, I'm sorry, but please press your hands on this paper."
"Hmmm. What a pain in the ass.
Saying this, Meek reluctantly stood up and placed his hands on the paper on the table.
"...... is this correct?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Soleil smiles at him.
"Soleil ....... What the hell is that paper?"
"This is what I did with Mr. Linos: ....... Do you not understand? Please try to activate the magic detection once."
I do as she recommends and activate the magic detector. I could feel Meek's magic power on the paper.
"Oh, I can feel Meek's magic power, though it's only a little. What in the world is this ......?
"The paper has been given the effect of absorbing a little of the magic of those who touch it. Since I can't summon Master Shenlong yet, I asked Aestes to make it for me. I copied the power of the forest spirit with whom she has a contract onto this paper.
I heard that Astes herself has a contract with a spirit of a certain high rank, but she can only give this paper the power to absorb a small amount of magical power, and that is the only effect it has. By the way, the tippet I used was made by Vival, the chief of the tippet. It seems that while the chief wanted me to save the village of Silures, he also wanted Soleil to entangle me. Well, considering the current situation, I can say that things are going according to the chief's plan. However, if Soleil is able to summon the divine dragon, and if she makes the judgment of Tippet, I wonder what kind of a thing will be created. ...... is something so horrible that I don't even think about it.
"Just ....... I wonder if the elves will be able to feel such weak magic.
"Don't worry. I'm an elf. This much magic is enough for me. I'm sure that through this magic, Meek-san's desire to return to his village will be conveyed to you.
"...... awesome elves."
I sighed, shaking my head slowly. Not to get carried away, but I was pretty proud of my skills. But the elf's skills could be far beyond mine if I'm not careful. ....... With that thought in mind, I pulled myself together and slapped my face with both hands.
"All right, all right. Thanks, Soleil. I'll bring this tippet to justice at the foot of the Filcon Mountains. I'll include my letter, just in case. I'll also leave ...... the staff of Latgis."
Soleil smiled at my words and bowed her head.
I then acknowledged the letter to the Elf King. When I showed it to Riko, she checked it so much that even her red-pen teacher turned pale, then Mei corrected it, and then she included Sadie's idea, so it was not in its original form at all, but that's a secret. Thanks to her, it turned out to be quite a nice piece of work.
I took the letter and went to the place where I had wired the last time I came with Sidhi and the others. There I placed the envelope with Tippet's judgment and the letter, and next to it I placed the staff of Latgis. However, I was told that the staff was a treasured item of the Elf King, so I decided to place a ward there. I made it so that only those who had my permission could enter the ward, and I took all possible precautions to prevent anyone from stealing it. It was unlikely that any creatures other than elves would come to such an unprecedented place, but since Sidhi insisted on putting up the warding, I decided to do so just in case. I must make sure that it will not be gone later. .......
I looked up at the mountain towering to the heavens and whispered in a low voice, "Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please. In the letter, he wrote that he would come here again with Princess Meek in three days. I wrote that if there was any problem, I would ask her to make some kind of contact with me then.
Three days later. I moved to the foot of the Filcon Mountains with Sadie and Princess Meek. The staff of Latgis was still there, but when I looked next to it, I saw that the letter I had left was gone. There was a pale purple, fist-sized stone on the ground. I approached the stone with a questioning look on my face. .......
