Calix had heard that the people of this country had a few loose screws in their heads. But he did not expect something so fucked up.
'I never heard such a pickup line, the woman even agreed. I'm in the city near their capital, Melbed. Man, I wonder what kind of stupidity I'm going to meet in this place.'
If there were crackheads in this town, the capital was probably even worse.
"Hey, you need to wipe your shirt. Here's a tissue."
"Thanks."
He thanked the bartender as he wiped the alcohol that had landed on his shirt.
Calix's appearance was simple and neat right now, except for the bangs that covered his eyes.
"Say, do you know anyone with Dark-Elf blood around here?"
Since Calix had no idea, he decided to take a chance and asked the bartender.
"Dark Elf? You mean descendants? Man, if you are a reporter or something, all I can say is that pure Dark Elves have been extinct for a long time. It's all in the past, no matter how much you blame the kingdom and the royalty, you can never bring back the past."
"... Okay?"
Calix was stunned as he listened to the bartender's monologue. From his reaction, it seemed that this was not the first time someone had asked about the Dark Elves.
"So, what do you want this time? Reporter...?"
"Lucky, you can call me Lucky. And I'm not a reporter. I'm just looking for someone."
Calix ordered another gin and swallowed it, then sighed.
"Do you have a picture?"
"Unfortunately, no. All I know is that she is a woman and a Dark Elf."
"Come on, let's not joke around here. There are no Dark Elves."
'There are, I fucked one last time.'
Calix replied in his head. Esmeralda's true identity was a Dark High Elf who controls the darkness.
"Well, if you are looking for descendants of Elves, I know a lot. Hehe, in fact you are looking at one."
The bartender laughed and pointed at himself.
"You don't look like one."
Calix looked at him.
"Yeah, a lot of people have said that. I haven't inherited any of their traits, unfortunately," He nodded and replied.
After researching, Calix found that there were a lot of families who were from the line of Elves.
"Junian was the kingdom of Elves, so it's expected."
Calix heard a rumor that humans mate with Elves and other Demihumans to inherit their abilities.
"I don't know, the history of such things is a bit murky, and no one can prove the authenticity of this rumor."
Anyway, Calix had just spent his first day in this strange country, and he was tired.
He looked at his passport.
"Lucky T. Tiko, from Carrillo. I'm a transfer student that will attend Horvart University..."
Reading his background, Calix realized that there was a chance that he would meet Lou.
"Carrillo shared a border with Junian. Their relationship is friendly and their economy is strongly dependent on each other."
There was a prosperous sea in their eastern part, and both countries worked to keep their territory from Desmonda, who was the enemy of both countries.
"They have their fair share of stories."
Territorial disputes were common, so Calix was not surprised. Even his country was fighting against Ancas and Junian right now. Each country wants more territory. They could expand their position and authority, and their resources would increase.
"My job is to find Toshi Densetsu, so I have to lie low..."
Calix rest down on the bed and closed his eyes to calm his mind. He had a job to do. Looking through the information he had gathered, it looked like it would be difficult to find this not-so-young Dark Elf.
But before he could fall asleep, his phone started to vibrate.
"Hm?"
Calix checked his phone and saw that Scarlett had sent a message.
[Send me a picture of your room].
A single sentence, but Calix could imagine how she said it - like an empress ordering her servant.
Calix sighed. It seemed his night would not end early.
He snapped a picture and sent it to Scarlett.
Just as he had expected, a portal materialized. Yuna, Scarlett, Kimberly, Marianne, and Nikki appeared one after the other. They blushed shyly, but it could not hide the lust in their eyes.
