I brought the second stray child, Fors-san, back to the others.
[Can you believe it? Laguna just brought me here and left me in this labyrinth-like venue, telling me to enjoy myself because she had to go to a guest table as a King. The despair I felt at that time was quite terribleā¦ā¦ Itās like all I see was darkness before my eyes. I canāt even imagine how many hardships I faced while heading from the Teleportation point to where you met meā¦ā¦]
[Noā¦ā¦ You were just a straight few hundred meters away from the Teleportation point.]
No matter how many people there are in this festival, it isnāt like you couldnāt move forwardā¦ā¦ but for Fors-san, a straight line filled with many people is already like a labyrinth.
I think I understand now why Neun-san was so surprised that she was able to reach a Teleportation gate.
[ā¦ā¦And thus, I brought her here.]
[ā¦ā¦What are you doing, Grand Elder?]
[Oya? If Iām not mistaken, you should be Rejnhardt and Sylphiaās daughterā¦ā¦ Sieglinde, right?]
[Yes. Itās been a while.]
Speaking of which, itās easy for me to forget about it, but Fors-san is the top of the Elven tribe, and of course, the Elf Sieg-san would know about her.
I mean, from their conversation, it seems like theyāve already met in the past.
[I see. My, youāve grown up a lot. I feel like it wasnāt long ago that Rejnhardt and Sylphia were small children, but for their daughter to have grown up so well alreadyā¦ā¦ Good gracious, how time flies.]
[ā¦ā¦Iāve heard Kaito-san mention it before, but seeing how your physique really did change from the time I met you back then, I was surprised.]
[Hahaha, well, you get used to it. Your surprise at change is just temporary. There will soon be a time when this form of mine would be common sense. For example, just like the fact that Miyama Kaito-kun is now the Hero of the Elves.]
In the course of the conversation with Sieg-san, she smoothly began saying something strangeā¦ā¦
[Of course, after annihilating the Black Bear outbreak and for your great contribution in the restoration of Rigforeshia, a lot of plays about you were being played that your story has already become a staple. Good gracious, I guess thatās how it will be for people who leave their mark on history. Ahh, you donāt have to show such a complicated expression on your face. Iām well aware of the circumstances, but itās difficult to do anything about it now.]
[Well, Iāve already given up on that one.]
I heard from Mom and Dad that books about me had been published and were extremely popular. Incidentally, out of consideration for me, they donāt mention my name in the book and just refer to me as āthe young man from another worldāā¦ā¦ Well, rather than being an open secret, itās more like almost all Elves know about it because of what happened in the Sacred Tree Festival.
Incidentally, the authors did contact me once to ask if they could give me some of the proceeds from the books, but they didnāt need to since theyāre just basing it on me, and that they could write whatever they wanted as long as they donāt write anything weird.
ā¦ā¦From what I heard from Isis-san, for some reason, my actions were depicted more intensely in the subsequent volumesā¦ā¦
Well, anyway, I donāt care about that book anymore. Iād also like to excuse myself from reading those booksā¦ā¦
As I was thinking about this, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder and when I turned around, I saw Tre-san with a strange look on her face.
[Kaito, she just said you annihilated a Black Bear outbreakā¦ā¦ What kind of illegal magic did you use? Iām sad here, you know? Kaito, I donāt remember raising you that way.]
[I donāt remember being raised by you though!? Also, Tre-sanā¦ā¦ For argumentās sakeā¦ā¦ Just think of it for argumentās sake. If I used some kind of powerful magic, do you really think I would be able to defeat a horde of Black Bears?]
[Nope, not at all. If Kaito can beat a single Black Bear, that should mean I can beat a wyvern if I try hard enough.]
[Then, thatās how it is.]
[Then that also means another person annihilated them huh~~ Iām glad. It seems like the āSlime Allianceā between you and I really is unbreakable.]
[Since when am I a part of that weird alliance!?]
With her good sense of humor, Tre-san really has quite the ability to strike up a good conversation. After nodding several times with a smile, Tre-san turned her gaze to Fors-san and spoke.
[Nice to meet you, Iām Tre! Iāve heard a lot about you from Neun. She mentioned how you often get lost just like I did.]
[Oya, my, oh my. My apologies for the delay in greeting you. My name is Fors, a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. You had my curiosity when it sounded like youāre related to Neun, but hearing that you also got lost a lot, now you had my full attention. You are as directionally-challenged as I am?]
[Hmmm, no, it isnāt that Iām directionally challenged, itās just that the scenery strangely changes before I knew it!]
[ā¦ā¦I see, that is a great way to look at it. We didnāt get lost, we were just puzzled over the sudden change in sceneryā¦ā¦ It was that idea of ālooking at things from a different perspectiveā, wasnāt it?]
Somehow, I have a brief hunch just now. Perhaps, these two shouldnāt join up too much. I feel like if I donāt throw a tsukkomi at them here, this would lead to a strange direction.
