The conversation between Sieg-san and Jutia-san was proceeding peacefully, but halfway through, I began to feel a little concerned. The reason for this is that Sieg-san looked a little downcastā¦ā¦ Rather, it seemed like she was hesitating about something.
My Sympathy Magic tells me that she was hesitating about something, Sieg-san seemingly wanting to tell Jutia-san something, but she finds it difficult to say it.
[Tis great, tis great, Iāve had fun talking about various stuff! However, I donāt think we should talk too long in a store. Iām going to buy this tea I picked out, okay?]
[Ahh, yes. Iām sorry for keeping you too long.]
[Tis alright, tis alright, donāt worry about it! It was a pleasure talking to you, so letās talk again when we get the chance!]
As I had this thought in mind, the conversation between them was about to end, and Jutia-san was about to head for the checkout with what seemed to be Glorious Tea in hand.
I had a feeling that it wouldnāt do if the situation continued like this, so I interjected at that moment.
[Ummm, excuse meā¦ā¦ Sieg-san, whether you have something youād like to tell or ask Jutia-sanā¦ā¦ Do you have something in mind?]
Hearing my words, Jutia-san tilted her head, and Sieg-san looked at me with a surprised look for a moment before she looked convinced, seemingly remembering my Sympathy Magic.
Just like that, Sieg-sanās gaze moved about, seemingly still hesitating, but then she looked towards Jutia-san and spoke.
[ā¦ā¦Ummm, Jutia-sama, if itās not too much of a problemā¦ā¦ Thereās a question Iād like to ask of you.]
[Me? Unnn, tis fine, tis fine, Iāll buy out this tea first though, and then we can talk some more after we get out of the store!]
When Sieg-san said she had a question to ask her, Jutia-san acknowledged it with a bright smile. Just like that, Jutia-san proceeded to buy out the Glorious Tea, and we all went outside for a moment to a place a few distance away from the street.
As this area is for the wealthy, there arenāt that many people here, so it was easy to find a place that doesnāt have many people.
[ā¦ā¦Ummm, Iā¦ā¦ donāt have any aptitude for Nature Magic or Spirit Magicā¦ā¦ A dimwitted Elf.]
[Dimwitted? Eh? S- Sieg, what in the worldā¦ā¦]
[I havenāt mentioned this to Lili and Luna, have I? Elves are a race that live alongside natureā¦ā¦ Iām not sure if itās a special characteristic of our race, but basically all Elves, regardless of their talent, have an aptitude for Nature Magic or Spirit Magic.]
Lilia-san and Luna-san, Sieg-sanās best friends, seemed to be surprised upon hearing this, but I had actually heard about this from Sieg-san herself.
When we went to Rigforeshia together, we were drinking alcohol in the evening and I heard her mumble a little bit about her lack of aptitude for Nature and Spirit Magic.
However, it didnāt seem like she wanted me to step into this topic, so I didnāt ask any more questions about this and just moved on to another topicā¦ā¦
Hearing Sieg-sanās words, Luna-san thought for a moment and as if she had come up with something, she spoke.
[ā¦ā¦Speaking of which, thereās that fairy tale about the Winged race that canāt fly. It was apparently about how some beings are born without their racial characteristicsā¦ā¦]
[Yes, I was an Elf with absolutely no aptitude for either Nature Magic or Spirit Magic, which is extremely rare in Elven history. In addition, my father was such an excellent mage that the previous King bowed his head to invite him to the royal court, and my mother was at a level where the first Spirit Mage declared that she was her rival, so it seems that the people around me were greatly disappointed because they had high expectations of me, being their child.]
Everyone had an indescribable expression on their face at those words. To be honest, it must be much harder than I imagined to be born without the aptitudes that the people around her take for granted.
[Ahh, but that doesnāt mean I was persecuted or anything like that. My father and mother had quite an authority among the Elven Tribe, and I myself was strong enough to defeat most of my opponentsā¦ā¦ Well, thatās why there were many people who say things like āIf only I had an aptitude to these magicsā.]
[ā¦ā¦Perhaps, the reason why Sieg is reluctant to return to Rigforeshia where Rei-san and Fia-san areā¦ā¦]
[The biggest reason really was that I donāt want to part ways with Liliā¦ā¦ but I canāt deny that Iām not too eager to return to Rigforeshia.]
Sieg-san is one of the most powerful people in the Human Realm, and during the Sacred Tree Festival, Rei-san mentioned how he might not be able to match against her anymoreā¦ā¦ That must mean sheās among the top within the Elves.
Thatās why, because sheās a very talented being, I think Sieg-san herself was quite concerned about the fact that she didnāt have an aptitude for these magics at all.
I also understood why she wanted to ask about this here. Jutia-san is a Great Spirit who stands above the Spirits, worshiped like a God to the Elvesā¦ā¦ I guess she just wanted to be heard? The pain the Sieg-san had suffered as an Elfā¦ā¦
When Jutia-san heard her storyā¦ā¦ For some reason, she had a look of puzzlement on her face.
[ā¦ā¦Hmmm. How mysterious, how mysteriousā¦ā¦ As for Spirit Magic, affinities do exist so Iāll just leave it at that. But Iām surprised that even though ānature loves you so much that you evolved into a High Elfā, for you to be unable to use Nature Magic. Iām surprised, Iām surprised, as expected, this is the first time Iāve ever heard of a High Elf who canāt use Nature Magic.]
[Yes, thatās right. For someone who was supposed to be loved by nature so much that I evolved to a High Elf to be unable to use Nature Magic, now thatās just so funn- Eh?]
[ā¦ā¦Ummm, Jutia-sama? Iām just a normal Elf though?]
[ā¦ā¦No, āno matter how I see it, youāre a High Elfāthough?]
ā¦ā¦Arehh? The flow of the story is kinda turning strangeā¦ā¦ I kinda have the feeling that thereās a wide discrepancy between how the two of them recognize this situation.
