I suppose that the Elven Forest, in the literal sense of the word, means that it is in a forest.
That much is easy to guess, but ...... here was one problem.
Henriette said that the Elven Forest is nearby, but there is no forest near this city in the first place.
This was confirmed when I came to the city: ...... So what does this mean?
If you're not sure if the vicinity is one of the senses of the apostolic era, it might be a place that is actually three days' ride away by carriage ......, but that's not what I was thinking about.
You mean there's no such place nearby? Isn't it obvious? If there's a forest with a blind eye, they'll know where you are. What Allen said just now was right in a sense, and wrong in a sense. The Elven Forest can't be found by anyone who doesn't have the qualifications to begin with.
It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your time in the world.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the marketplace.
It's also a great reminder: ...... Well, if you didn't do that, you wouldn't be missing yet, would you?
Yes, ...... and I'm a little curious about the part about erasing memories: ......
Then Leeds glanced at Noel because he was told that Noel had no memory of his childhood, as I recall.
He must be wondering if that has something to do with it.
And also--
...... One thing I would like to ask: "...... Do you think there would be any problems with an elf trying to go to the forest once he is a stray?
Noel said that this is exactly what was on Allen's mind.
It's not easy to hear, but Noel must have sensed that and listened to it himself.
It's a good thing that you're able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the marketplace. The reason for erasing memories is to minimize the possibility of the location being exposed. The fact that you don't have any memories of your childhood before that is a different matter.
"So ......
I'm sure that the last thing that Henriette said to her was that she was going to be looking at .......
It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're talking about.
So it's natural to think that someone else taught it to you ...... and then the only candidate would be Allen.
But I swear, Allen wasn't talking about it.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
However, the reason why Allen simply shrugged his shoulders without denying it is because, in a way, the reason why Henriette knew about it was because of Allen.
Perhaps Henriette also "saw" what Noel told Allen.
It's half, or even completely accidental, but it's a little hard to explain.
It's more profitable to put it that way for now.
I'll have to ask Henriette for the wabbit later.
Anyway.
...... seems to be OK for now?
"Yeah. Just ...... how to get there in the end? From the way the story is told, it sounds like Henriette has permission to do so: ......
I think it's faster to see it than to explain it to you. Oh, and by the way, if you're with Henriette, you guys can go as well. But it may not be necessary.

However, their footsteps are not towards the mansion, nor are they heading outside.
At first glance it seems to be the same ...... as when you were touring the city, but you soon realize that this is not the case.
But at the same time, it's just--
"Hmm ...... looks like you're just heading to the back of the alley if it's not my imagination. ......?
"The alleyway leads to the forest of elves ......, which is not indeed the case, is it?
I don't like the idea of an elf forest at the end of an alleyway, do you?
"...... but something a little weird?
"Surely not ...... or . This is .......
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us.
I'm sure you'll be able to find it in the back alley of the city, not the back alley.
It's actually easy to get to the elven forest. After all, it's really easy to get there. If you want to go there, and the elves agree, that's the entrance. But this is not a legitimate entrance, so Henriette and her friends call it an elf passage.
It was about the same time that Henriette finished.
When the scene around them became distorted, the alleyway scenery that should have been there disappeared in an instant, and before they knew it, there was a lush green forest.
It seems that they can't hide their surprise at what happened, and when they opened their eyes, they all froze.
"I see...is that what you mean by 'close'? It's just out of phase, but it's really the same place. I'm sure you're not going to be able to find it at all. ...... If you didn't notice it at all, it must be pretty dull.
I'd rather she didn't find out. You know that Henriette was involved in the construction of the wards here.
It's not a coincidence, it's just a coincidence. Well, it's not that I wanted to get involved in the first place, it's just that it happened.
"Hey ......
Serious admiration escaped me and I stared at Henriette's face intently.
He was immediately turned away, but it seems that such a reaction is true.
So Allen's mouth loosened a little bit, confirming once again that Henriette is not bound by her role as an apostle.
The apostle was truly forbidden to even get involved, but if the wards were so tight that Allen couldn't even notice, then he certainly helped.
It is true that Henriette said she was a former apostle, but she had not yet seen anything like it.
But I was a little happy to see the proof.
You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.
Then it must be a joy if you are truly freed from it.
By the way, if this is where Henriette is involved, could it be ...... that she came to live in the mansion?
The elves made some efforts, but in the end, it was my uncles who made the final decision, and they didn't know anything about it. So, well, I guess they just thought it was a good idea, right?
I see. ...... Well, sure, the city isn't that new. I thought they built the city from the top to hide it and you lived there.
It's close enough. It's true that the city was designed to hide this place, so it's not wrong.
"Oh, yeah.
In other words, the city was still a dummy.
It's not about the people who live there, but the city itself had no meaning and was just camouflage to hide the elven forest.
Normally you wouldn't expect the forest to be hidden when there's a city there.
We won't find it.
I'm sure you would have noticed it then, since there was originally no city, just a grassy field. In fact, the Empire found it.
And talking of such things, it seems that the Reeses have finally come back from their surprise.
While looking around, they are letting out an admiring breath.
"Spatial transference sounds a little different again, but is it correct to think of it as something similar?
"Well, yes. It's also the same in the sense of moving through space. It's just that the axis of movement is different.
"...... 'Imitation' seems impossible?
It's not like she was moved by skill or anything. It's more like they wanted to be captured by a ward.
Listening to Henriette and the others, Allen also looked around again and nodded admiringly.
The trees there are tall but strangely unobstructed by sunlight.
This kept the air bright and free of the gloominess typical of such places.
I'm sure you'll find that ...... is a very comfortable place to live, and you'll notice that there's one person who has a different reaction.
Noel ......? What's wrong?
He looked vaguely puzzled.
It's not that she is puzzled by a place she doesn't recognize ...... but rather the opposite.
I got the impression that he was puzzled by the fact that he should be unfamiliar with it.
Yeah, yeah ......, yeah. I don't know what to say, but ...... this scene is not at all strange to me. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.
I don't think that's right? It's the same in the sense that you understand it subconsciously, but maybe that's because you recognize it as your country.
"Country ......?
I couldn't ask what that meant.
Before that, Allen had sensed the presence of someone who was right there.
And more than one.
No, more than one--
Hmm ...... something, I was surrounded in a second?
...... For someone who talks like that, Allen, you don't look nervous at all, do you?
I don't feel any hostility or anything like that. Come to think of it, Henriette said that you're welcome or something: ...... Maybe you mean this? From the numbers that I can sense, I even feel like all the elves here are here, right?
It's not my imagination, and, by the way, it's not surprising. --After all, it's the return of the King.
Again the question of what that meant did not come true.
Before that, the elves around him appeared in unison and knelt down.
Then.
"Welcome home, my king. We have been waiting for your return with all our hearts.
The elves who were present at the scene all said those words in unison.
