I don't know. Whoever wants to leave the village may do so. Those who do not may not. In other words, the elves are free to do as they please.
What about Honnoiti?
"I don't know that either. He's a cautious man. He won't move from that mountain for a while.
"...... I guess the elves are not so intelligent after all."

The island of Rwazan is located hundreds of kilometers south of the kingdom of Agartha, which is ruled by Rinos. The island has a very warm climate due to the active Lace volcano, but the toxic gases emitted from the volcano have turned it into an island of death, with almost no living creatures.
Their bodies are covered with jet-black scales. They were black dragons, the most cunning of all dragons.
Basically, black dragons live in the Juka Mountains north of Agartha and are said to number in the dozens. In the past, when they had territorial disputes with Ferris and other Krulkan, most of them were killed and their number was drastically reduced. Although they are not in danger of being attacked because of the current cease-fire agreement with Krulkan, it is their long-cherished wish to regain their old prosperity.
The most active among them was Tuné. He had always been opposed to the Krulukan and was therefore bound by many rules - for example, the chief decides who to marry - and did not like being in the Juka Mountains where he had no freedom at all. . In search of paradise, he left the mountain with his brothers and became a stray black dragon and settled on this isolated island in the middle of the sea.
He spends his days at will, without interference from anyone. ....... They lived a comfortable life with their five brothers who knew each other well. The fish they caught from the sea were inexhaustible, and they never had to worry about starving. Then they were approached by the elves. They were so afraid of being attacked again by the monster Haze, that they were thinking of countermeasures against it without any hesitation. The elves bowed their heads and begged for guidance, but it was the Black Dragons who advised them to live in an unexplored land.
The elves understood their thoughts and immediately took action, which they accepted favorably. If you need anything else, I will be happy to lend my wisdom. ....... It could not have been any other race than the elves that they thought of doing so. Finally, the elves, who they recognized as being as much ...... if not more so than the dragons themselves, decided to leave the Filcon Mountains. Tsune did not understand. Why would they willingly put themselves in danger when they had been promised a safe and peaceful life? The elves, who had so much sympathy for our ideas ....... He had not expected them to change their minds.
He ordered his brother Raal, who was waiting in front of him, to inform his brothers of this.
A few moments later, a black dragon descended upon him. It was his sister Shario, the only female. She landed in front of Tsune without a sound, and without even a word of greeting, she began to speak rapidly.
"Brother, is it true that the elves are leaving the village?"
"It seems so."
"Why would an elf who has stubbornly remained in his village for the past several hundred years suddenly make such a move?"
"I don't know. Maybe they were just a lowly race. The only thing I do know is that a man named Linos of Agartha is involved.
"Linos: ....... Also, that man ......"
The man's name was one that they had heard many times in the last few years. Of particular interest to them was the fact that he had fought and survived the Dragon King, the avenger of the Black Dragon. In the past, they had challenged the Dragon King with all their might and had drawn. Therefore, they have been able to escape from the interference of the Dragon King, instead of receiving no information from him. The fact that they have been able to challenge the Dragon King alone and live without dying is astonishing to them, even though it took all the power of the family to finally bring about a draw.
If these five brothers joined forces, it would be possible to bury the Dragon King. However, if they were to fight him individually, they would clearly outmatch him. The man Rinos fought alone against such a Dragon King and is alive today without being killed. It is safe to say that Rinos is one of the few objects of interest to them.
"Brother, send me to this man Rinos."
"What? What are you doing?"
I'd like to meet him.
What are you going to do when you see him?
If he is of use to us, we will bring him to us.
Wait. This Llinos man is skilled enough to fight the Dragon King. If you get involved, you'll be making an enemy of not only him but the Dragon King as well. Don't do it."
"But are you sure you want to go on like this, brother?"
What do you mean?
"This man Rinos, ...... what would it be to our detriment if we left him there?"
"......"
Send me to him. I will see him."
Tsune stares at his sister's face. Her eyes are shining brightly, and there is not a trace of evil in them. He lets out a sigh in his heart.
......That's just plain annoying. Once he gets interested in something, he will pursue it to the end of the line. Who does he resemble?
This sister may have the highest ability among her siblings, but this brother knew that her curiosity was, in a way, dangerous. Nevertheless, the more he opposes her, the more she will try to go to Agartha. What can we do to make this situation work? ....... He thinks.
"Why not let her go?
Suddenly I heard a voice. It was Royce, the second son. He was the most brutal and vindictive of the brothers, and the suspiciously feminine light in his twin eyes showed it. Again Tsune lets out a hearty sigh.
"You see, my brother in the middle says so too. So, right? Brother?"
"Go on, then. And bring him to me."
"You are going to eat it, aren't you, brother in chief?"
"Yes. Yes. Eating the skilled ones will improve my skills. Otherwise, when was the last time you ate a human ....... So, right?"
"Yes, my middle brother."
With that, she leaped high into the sky. Tsune tries to stop her, but she ignores his voice and keeps moving away from the island with a thump.
"Well, that's good, isn't it, brother?"
"......"
He stared at his brother, unable to suppress a bad feeling as he watched his sister's shrinking figure.

"La~lala~. La-la-la-la-la-la.
Linos' mansion in the imperial capital. In the garden, singing a song in a good mood, is his daughter Alilia. Soleil had taught her many songs, and every day she went out to the garden to sing them. Today she is still practicing a song she has just learned. She could not remember the lyrics yet, but the beautiful melody was soothing.
"Let's see, what's after this?"
She scratches her head and looks up at the sky. The sky is a clear, cloudless blue.
"Hmmm. I forgot. I'll have to ask Mommy to tell me."
Mommy is in the middle of breastfeeding her little brother, Saysam. But it has been quite some time. She thinks that she should be done by now, so she starts to walk towards the house, humming the melody she just sang. At that moment, she heard an unfamiliar sound.
BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!
She hears a sound like something bursting. She turns around in surprise, and what she sees is a startling sight.
