Chapter 112: CH 1.22

Chapter 1. [Episode 22]

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What we came to was a café on the grounds of a vast military school.

In military schools, students eat their meals in the cafeteria inside the school building, but those who want a change of pace or a bit of luxury may come to these restaurants outside.

If you are a special student, you can enjoy free meals within a certain amount.

We find a suitable seat on the café terrace, and Liz and I sit down.

At first, I was terrified that I would be bombarded with a barrage of questions, but Liz was quiet.

I am almost blinded by her dark green hair that flutters in the gentle breeze. Without saying a word, she looks like a young lady from somewhere.

Trees planted nearby rustle and birds chirp. And Liz is calmly listening to it. Yes, this is a picture. I’d like to hang it in the palace of Tenebrae as a painting.

A short time later, the pancakes and tea I had ordered arrived.

I didn’t have anything in particular that I wanted to eat, so I ordered the same thing as she did, but it was quite appetizing.

Liz happily ate the pancake and licked the syrup off her lips with her tongue. I found myself staring at it.

[Do you like elves, Theo-kun?]

[Hmm, yeah, yeah. I think it’s fascinating.]

When I responded to the sudden question, Liz’s response was surprisingly not good.

[I see. What do you like about elves? Is it their looks?]

[I like that, but I also like the calmness and the nobility of their character. It makes me feel intelligent.]

I am filled with a desire to add that I want to cage such women, but I don’t want to say it.

[I don’t like it much. I don’t like that about elves.]

[Really? That seems unusual for the same elf.]

[Maybe. I’m often told I’m weird and strange. I don’t like it when elves are arrogant like that, or when they look down on others.]

Liz chuckles softly.

[Even the elves, who seem so calm, are always swearing behind their backs. Theo-kun, you know, the elves are not as precious as you think they are.]

[Well, if you ask me, maybe there are some things like that, but I don’t care about that.]

It is still frustrating that I can’t say I enjoy it because I attack those women.

I’m talking about training an exclusive and elective child to your liking. Oh, that’s great.

[So, Theo-kun, you like elves like that and not weirdos like me?]

Liz is cute when she says this, looking a little teased.

[I don’t think so. Even an oddball like you is attractive.]

[I wonder if it’s true. I don’t trust Theo-kun because he always says things like that and seems to play games with girls.]

[I only say these things to people I like.]

[I’m not sure if that means I have a chance. If so, I’ll come on to you.]

[Well, well, I thought we could wait until we knew each other better.]

[Mooo, Theo-kun’s a wimp.]

If this were in Tenebrae territory, it would be fine because I’d be groping my way over there.

I think that’s exactly how I felt from the first day I met her. That’s how attractive she is.

She’s a little mysterious on the inside, but she doesn’t seem to be a bad girl either. Well, I don’t care if she’s a bad girl or not, if I take her in my arms, that’s the end of it. I miss my hometown.

I tipped my cup of tea with an evil fantasy.

[Then, could the recent mass disappearance of elves have been perpetrated by Theo-kun, the man who is good with all kinds of elves?]

The tea was spewed out my mouth in a big gulp.

I say, choking on the tea that has entered my trachea.

[Geez! What’s the matter with you? You suddenly started talking funny.]

[Haha! That’s a great reaction! What the heck~? I was just joking around, but I wonder if it’s true. Am I going to be snatched up and done all kinds of things after this? Well, I’m a little worried about that. …… But if it’s Theo-kun… it’s okay?]

[Okay? No, it’s not! Don’t talk nonsense to me! I wouldn’t go after any elf, male or female, without any restraint!]

[Hmmm. I know that male elves are kidnapped too.]

Hmm, maybe I gave out a little too much information. But, well, I guess there’s no problem so far.

And it’s connected to what I want to ask her anyway.

[…… in case you’re interested. There’s been a lot of rumors lately, so I did a little digging. More importantly, does Liz know that elves are being kidnapped?]

[By the looks of it, you don’t even know how many people have disappeared? There are already more than 900 throughout the empire.]

[Are they gone that much ……]

[It’s just what we know. The population of Mildiana is a little over 150,000, and there are less than 10,000 elves. That’s a pretty big number, isn’t it? If I tell you that more than 60% of the disappearances are from Mirdiana, do you understand how serious the situation is?]

The fairy tale of thousands of troops disappearing that Roca had told me passed through my mind.

The scale hasn’t reached that point yet, but the disappearances that are happening now are already unusual enough.

[I wonder how things were in the Western Territories where Theo-kun lived? Any missing elves?]

Light green eyes stare at me.

If I say something bad, it will be bad. I had no choice but to answer honestly, even though I was bland.

[Come on……. I don’t know much about it. I hardly knew any elves, and I didn’t even hear those rumors until I came here.]

[I see. Well, yeah. There aren’t many elves around there.]

Liz, whose eyes seemed to be searching for something, suddenly let her guard down and put her hand on her cup of tea.

Now would be a good time to stop the conversation.

I asked her about the mysterious book written in that ancient script.

Liz, who had heard this silently, did not change her expression.

Eventually, when I had said all I had to say, she blurted out,

[…… I’m pretty sure that the ‘wise man of the forest’ is an elf. Because nothing else comes to mind.]

[What about the last drops?]

[I’ve never heard that word before. If Theo-kun hadn’t taught me, I might not have understood it.]

I don’t know if she is telling the truth, but at least she doesn’t seem to be lying.

Her expression was serious as she narrowed her eyes and lost herself in thought.

[Theo-kun. Do you have any other information you know? I don’t care what you know. I want you to tell me everything.]

I told her the results of my search of the archives with Julian and the fairy tale that Roca had told me about a part of the beast tribe.

And that none of that information was in the history books of the empire.

[That’s strange. If an army of elves disappeared that much, there would surely be some trouble with the empire, but such a thing has not been heard even in Tsefte Aria.]

[The only direct reference to the army is a fairy tale that Roca tells, but it’s a story that’s pretty widely known among the beasts.]

[I guess they were able to keep the empire and the elves quiet, but they couldn’t get around to the rest.]

[Liz, what do you think is the reason for keeping quiet?]

[I don’t think just a bad story would get you there. …… I think it’s a deeper issue, for example, one that concerns the survival of the country and its diplomacy.]

While the answer is ambiguous, is it reasonable to assume that the current situation is, as Liz says, rubbing out problems that are not good for the empire or Tsefte Aria?

But this fragmentary information is unlikely to tell us much more than that.

And whatever happened in the past, it may be too early to assume that this disappearance is the same. Nevertheless, I’m sure the circumstances are similar.

[How about we ask President Ludio?]

[Ryukku…… President Ludio won’t tell us anything. That’s the way it’s always been.]

[Do you know each other from way back?]

[A little bit. I’m a distant relative, I mean. …… Oh, don’t tell anyone else about this, okay?]

[I don’t mind, but I don’t see any reason to hide it.]

[Hmmm, there’s a lot to be said for the elves maiden…]

The school bell rang as she laughed blithely.

[Oh, no! It’s already that time!]

[Not that it matters to me since I’m on suspension, but Liz might want to hurry up.]

[I’m already late for ……. I’ll be late even if I hurry. Excuse me, waiter, can I have another pancake, please?]

Liz seems to be ready to skip it.

I think Keith is the only serious among the special students.

[Oh, yes. Theo-kun, that book with the ancient script in it, we’ll talk about it later…]

In the middle of Liz saying something, a small white bird fluttered onto the table we were using.

I guess the sweet smell of pancakes lured it here.

The moment I was about to think so.

[Ahh-?!]

With a noisy clang, Liz jumped back to her feet, but her legs tangled and she fell on her buttocks on the spot.

Startled by this, the little bird flew away in a flash. Its beautiful white feathers fluttered and fell to her.

She let out an inaudible scream and backed away as if terrified.

I was taken aback by the ghastly appearance as if she thought she would die if she touched the feather.

[Liz …… what’s wrong?]

The waiter came inside to see what was going on. There were no other customers, so there was no commotion.

I walked up to Liz and gasped at how frightened she was.

She is holding her head in her arms and shaking all over.

Her wide-open eyes looked in the other direction, tears were dripping down her face, her teeth were chattering, and she was in a state of hyperventilation.

[Hi-……Hi……!!!]

[Liz. It’s okay, calm down.]

As soon as I gently hugged her, she grabbed my arm with tremendous force and pulled me to her.

It’s too unusual of a reaction. What in the world is going on?

It was as if she mistook the little bird for a monster or something. She is always so aloof and elusive that it is hard to imagine how weak she is now.

[Liz. Are you okay? Liz?]

[Ahhhh …… Ahhhhhh!]

I don’t know what happened, but it’s dangerous to leave her alone.

I took her in my arms and headed for the infirmary inside the school.
