Chapter 446: Elf Village 12
「But somehow I feel like it’s intentional…」(Mile)
Five races with similar body shapes.
Beastkins have more sub-races but for the sake of convenience, Mile considered them as one and the same race.
「Every race is so close that they can mate with humans, but they can’t mate with other races.
And maybe their gene is strong, even though they can mate with humans, it immediately pushes the human gene and tries to restore it to the original species.
Is it to avoid diminishing racial traits?
…I feel something unnatural …」(Mile)
「Even if I say such a thing, it won’t help. Everything has been decided from the start…」(Elder)
The Elder unnaturally omitted the subject, which would normally be said to be “The Maker’s will”
… But Mile was aware of it and never mentioned it.
＊ ＊ ＊
And, after hearing some other bland stories and folklore, “Red Oath” was parting up with the Elder.
「Well, it’s obvious. Everyone knows that only humans can mix with other races, without having to ask the elves…」(Maevis)
Meavis told everyone so after they left.
It is natural.
There is no reason that such a degree is unknown.
Mixed races and interspecies marriages aren’t limited to elves, but other races as well, and both sides can get information about the inability to have children.
So, there’s no way such things weren’t recorded for thousands and tens of thousands of years.
「Eh? I didn’t know that」
「Me too, it’s my first time hearing it…」
Aside from Mile, it seems that Rena and Pauline didn’t know that as well…
「That’s not something that people actually bother to teach their child.
If their child is about to get along with the opposite s.e.x of a different race, someone who knows about that will tell them.
If one of them is human, they can have a child. And if they aren’t, they can’t get married unless they give up on having a child.
If there’s no discriminatory country or relatives who oppose it… well, they can elope, adopt, etc.
If you are a long-lived race, you can have a child when you are married next time,
There are various ways」(Maevis)
Despite being a child of an aristocrat, Maevis seemed to be quite a liberalist in that area.
Anyway, that’s all the girls have to do in Elf Village.
After that, the days of refusing the invitations from the Elf men continued until the day of returning.
「Give me a break……」(Mile)
「Honestly…」(Rena)
「「Ke~」」(Maevis + Pauline)
For Rena and Mile, who kept complaining after being swamped by Elf Men, Pauline and Maevis seemed to be irritated.
Even if they weren’t interested in those Elf Men, the fact that no-one asked them out showed a difference in popularity.
However, the opposite is applied in the city of humans, so they put up with it now and let Rena, Mile enjoy a moment of popularity and congratulate them.
That’s very matured of Pauline and Maevis
＊ ＊ ＊
「Finally, I’m returning!」(Mile)
「「「It was long……」」」(Rena’s Trio)
Actually, it was only a few days, but there weren’t many interesting places for sightseeing, it ended pretty on the first day. They were tired because of the troublesome days after that. As a result, they have a face like this.
Only Mile has fun asking the Elder to tell them various stories, it seems that he was loved and received a lot of sweets,
Maevis only talks with the Elder based on the spirit of service.
For Rena and Pauline, who aren’t good at that, it must have been a boring day.
However, that was finally over, and the day of returning to escort the Elf Trio finally came.
「Thank you for everything …」(Cléreia?)
「But I wonder if it’s okay, the Elders are enthusiastic about the plan you recommended …」(Etoul? Shararil?)
「「「「Ahaha…」」」」(Red Oath)
Mile’s group has a dry laugh to distract the topic.
((((We don’t know anymore!)))) (Red Oath)
And Mile was thinking.
（If the elf town plan ends in a blunder, it’s a terrible nightmare for the Elves…
Yeah, exactly “A Nightmare on Elm Street” by Wes Craven…) (Mile)
(T.N: Elm and Elf p.r.o.nouns similar)
People might think she was worried about the elves, but as usual, Mile does think at her own pace …
(However, if they start buying various things from the city of humans, I wonder if they need a means of transportation …) (Mile)
Yes, this time, the Elf Trio returned with the help of Mile’s storage magic (item box), but it seems that people normally return home carrying only what they can carry on their own.
It seems that there are more people who can use storage magic than humans because of their strong magical power, but even so, the number of people who can use it isn’t large.
Even though the percentage of people who can use it is higher than that of humans, who have only about double digits in one country, it seems that there is only one person in this village because their population parameter is too different.
And it’s not as stupid OP as Mile’s storage magic.
(I wonder if there is any way to carry a lot of supplies … It’s like a small cab over truck …) (Mile)
And one word came to Mile’s head.
「Ah, ISUZU, ELF」(Mile)
(T.N: Isuzu.co.jp ELF)
Rena and co. were surprised by Mile’s sudden screaming, but they soon returned to their original state.
…Accustomed. That’s it.
And, because they weren’t used to Mile’s eccentricity and the word “Elf” was included in Mile’s cry, the Elf’s trio was upset.
However, the route to the Elf village, which is supposed to go through a place like an animal trail to obscure the location of the village.
Of course, it wasn’t a road that carriages and light trucks could pa.s.s through.
If the road is improved, anyone can easily go to and from the Elf village.
… Before that, there was no way to get a j.a.panese truck here. (There’s no Mitsuha)
Here, the road to the Elf village should be improved so that a small carriage can pa.s.s through, so that tourists can move easily and goods can be transported easily, and then the goods could be secretly carried to the Elf village later.
「Hmmm, for the time being, I wonder if we should develop a unicycle for transportation between the Elf village and the human city…」(Mile)
The “unicycle” that Mile refers to here is, of course, not the unicycle, which is a vehicle, but the unicycle that is used at construction sites.
In that case, in theory, it can be used on a beast road as long as it has the width of one tire. …… In theory, though …….
Then, the return trip ended without incident, Red Oath fulfilled the escort mission safely.
Since the request fee will be received at the guild, there’s no need to receive from Elf Trio when they want to part halfway.
Normally, they asked for various things outside the contract, so it’s not strange to pay a separate surcharge or additional reward.
The Elf Trio tries to avoid the intentional gaze from Pauline, thank the girls and run away quickly.
Apparently, they have been spending a lot of money on this request fee and souvenirs for their family, and it seemed to be quite painful.
Pauline has a bitter face, but it can’t be helped.
Originally, the girls just helped a little with the intention of providing a free service to acquaintances who were in trouble …
And, with A evaluation written with the signature on the request completion notification, Pauline accepts it.
「Alright, the mission was completed safely this time as well. It was a nomination request from the elf and it was rated A.
It’s enough to name us “Red Oath”.
Let’s make a triumphant return to the guild branch!」(Maevis)
「「「Ooh」」」(Mile’s Trio)
As expected of Maevis, the party leader.
Even Pauline, who was a little dissatisfied with the lack of additional rewards, seemed to be in a good mood as well.
「However, Etoul-san and Shararil-san will be returning to the city of Mafan from here.
I wonder if it’s okay to break up here …」(Mile)
「They could easily ask for a ride on a horse-drawn carriage or a caravan carriage.
They can create as much water as you want.
A pair of beautiful elves who can use healing magic and attack magic.
Far from the fare, people might even pay for it.」(Rena)
「Ah, I see…」(Mile)
Mile is convinced by Rena’s explanation.
「Besides, even if they travel alone on foot, they can get rid of the monsters that appear near the main road without any problems. And the bandits will run away when they shoot the explosive magic from a long-distance.」(Rena)
「…They don’t need Escorts…
Or rather, they can be the “Escorts” instead…」(Maevis)
Maevis also continues Rena’s explanation to Mile.
And a few months later, Mile’s group didn’t expect that a representative would come from the village of Dwarves and ask them to discuss a plan to build “Dwarf Village”.
Apparently, the “Elf Village” plan hit more than Mile expected, and the dwarves who knew it thought they could do it too. After all, the dwarves seemed to have a strong sense of opposition to the elves.
And of course, Mile’s group’s reply is …
「「「「I don’t know it anymore」」」」(Red Oath)
