The party came to an end before the party was over.
It's not just that the elves were too excited to be stopped, but also that they were forced to end it because they were about to become too excited to be stopped.
Well, it's good that the party is in full swing, and there was no harm done to Aren and the others, so there's no problem.
That is, if one person's sacrifice can be tolerated.
"No, Noel, are you okay ......?
...... If this looks okay, then I guess Leeds' eyes are no better.
Well, you've been working with the elves all week. Thanks for your help.
...... or rather, help us out a little.
I think Henriette was more of a helper, you know? Well, for some reason, they came to Henriette's side for a while, but it's just that: ......
...... When you said that, did Milene and her friends help out a little too?
I mean, it's natural to go talk to the guest of honor in the first place, and I don't want to get in the way of that.
Then, in front of Allen, who shrugged his shoulders, Noel was glaring at him with resentful eyes while lying limply on the sofa.
But like I said, it was unavoidable and there was nothing you could do about it.
Well, the bottom line is that Noel was tired of talking to the elves, and the only thing that could be said to harm her was that she had become this way.
If it was so hard, you should have said so. As you can imagine, if they really didn't like it, they would have stopped it too: ......
...... I can tell they're serious about it. I'm not so tactful as to interfere with that.
The moment Noel said such a thing vaguely grumpily, Allen and the others looked at each other unconsciously.
You can't blame them for that, although Noel's face is twisted into a grimace as he sees it.
...... Noel, do you have a cold?
...... What does that mean?
"I guess that's what you mean? And I honestly feel the same way.
Well, even Henriette thought it wasn't like her.
As he was saying it, Leeds suddenly approached Noel and extended his hand to Noel's forehead.
At the same time, he placed his other hand on his own forehead - and
"Well, ...... doesn't seem to have a fever,
"What's the rudest thing you've ever done?
Well, there is no doubt that the behavior of taking a fever in silence is the most rude, although it is the most worrying wind.
But the fact is that it was surprising enough to think that Leeds would do that.
I knew it, or is there a sense of brotherhood?
"Well, what about ......? I was just ...... confused, but not disgusted.
"Well ......, well, Noel will still be King of the Elves and remain here?
I knew it, why?
"...... because it looks like you can do whatever you want here?
"Oh, ......, I'm sure they won't say anything about you here if you sleep around as long as you like," he said.
Now I know exactly what you guys usually think of me.
You can find a lot of people who have been in this situation for a long time, but they still won't move.
It's not because he is tired from doing something, but because he's tired of being tired, but because he usually lives a life that doesn't involve such things.
That must be part of the reason why I'm even more tired.
Well, let's keep the jokes around here, but what's really going on? Have you already decided what to do? He said something about not having to live here when he became king, but he didn't have a problem with it.
"Oh, really?
'Oh, by the way, didn't we talk about that? We already talked about the race characteristics of the elves, didn't we? It's just a conceptual thing, and the king doesn't really need to be there.
They say the fact that stray elves never stop growing is proof of that.
"...... sure? Stray elves are rare, but so if there was such a thing, there would definitely be talk of it.
Even though they are a long-lived breed, you'd know it if they didn't grow at all. Oh, and that deputy will take care of the practical stuff.
I don't think you can do that just because you're the king. If you try to force it, it will only get in the way.
...... I see. If that's the case, it's not a problem for you to accept it because your very existence as an elf species is at stake. ......, but considering Noel's character, you can't just leave it to him.
You're going to have to let out a wry smile at the words of Leeds, who has come to the same conclusion as Allen.
You'll be able to see that Milene is nodding in agreement with you.
Should we say we are on the same page or is that how easy Noel is to understand?
Now, which will it be?
Now that you mention it, we've been talking about a lot of things, so what exactly did you talk about?
"I'm not talking about the big deal, okay? I was just talking about what I usually do and stuff like that.
"What else wasn't there? That's pretty much the same thing I was talking about,
"...... asked me a similar question. I couldn't say much about it.
"The same as below. Hmm. ...... Nothing from the other side? You want me to be the king, you're going to talk about that,
You didn't want to say anything about being intrusive or anything like that, did you? They would say it's not a favoritism or anything like that,
...... actually said so. I asked her if she had anything to say to me because she didn't say so much: ......
So Noel let out a sigh, he must be thinking that if you had told me, I would have been able to talk to you a little faster.
If you are asked to do something, the way you ask is part of the decision-making process.
But if you are asked to leave everything to them, your conscience is the best judge.
That must be hard to do.
"Well, actually, I think you should do what you want. They're only welcoming you because they're really glad to see that the king's bloodline is still alive, and they don't want anything more than that.
"That's the hardest thing for me to do. I'd rather be asked for help in person.
It's like denying ourselves what we've been doing. That's why they didn't ask for your help. Personally, I think it would have been better if they had said no.
"Because we're still trying to figure out how to grow up without the King?
"You've been doing that? ...... No, when the survival of the species is at stake, is it not natural?
"...... is one of the things you often see the elves in town?
That's about it. It's just that, to be fair, Henriette was referring to it as a species characteristic.
I tilted my head at the words because I didn't understand what he meant.
Does the elven race characteristic mean that they cannot grow without a king, and ...... that means they're better off not growing?
"Hmm ...... Henriette, how much do you think it's too much to hope that others don't grow up for your hobby?
"What the hell do you think you are doing with Henriette? That's not true at all. Elves can't grow up without a king, but they grow up to be like him.
Similar to, is ......? Could it be that ...... is the way to grow?
That's correct. In short, the king's taste determines the direction of the entire elves. And that's actually why people say that elves are so good at magic.
"...... ever king was good at magic?
That's why. And what do you think will happen if Noel becomes king there?
"Ah ...... You mean to change your specialty in blacksmithing. ......
The fact that the past is now, there is going to be a lot of confusion.
It's a good thing that Noel doesn't become a king, but rather continues to look for ways to grow as he is now.
It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these things. ...... That being said, for some reason it makes me think that it's okay to be king.
"Don't show your innocence in weird places.
What will be done in the end is up to Noel and the elves themselves.
It's not for the outside world to complain, as long as there's no need to stay here.
Well, to begin with, don't we need to make a decision right away?
"They say we have to wait a decade. I'm sure it won't make much difference if it doesn't grow that fast.
"...... is indeed a long-lived species?
You know very well that forcing yourself to jump to conclusions is not a good thing. Still, a decade is a good thing.
There is no need to hurry, and since Noel is really tired, they decide to disperse and go to bed.
Maybe it's because of the generosity of the king, or maybe it's because of the king, the whole house has been rented out to Allen and the others.
I'm not really needing to go back to Henriette's house right away, but I've decided to take care of her because of .......
It's not often that you can sleep in the elven forest.
There is no reason to return to Henriette's house, so this is more of a loss.
Even if that doesn't do anything for you.
Anyway, that's why Allen and the others leave the place to go to their assigned bedrooms.
--You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
