Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

Leaving Serene, who exited at the same time as his appearance, Gi and Zana took the carriage prepared at the Royal Palace of Helifarte and stepped down onto the main street of the castle town. The people on the road look to the men and women of rare elves, but Gi is sometimes used to getting attention as a chief and is flat.

"Then take a proper stroll.... What's hardening?

"Ah, me. You've never been down to a human city before……………………"

Unlike Gi, who strolls the city at night and leads everyone as a chief, Zana is basically in a position to follow Gi. Direct flights by carriage or skin to the castle. The same goes for going home. Today is the first time I've been in a human city.

"Hey, don't get too attached. You can't walk."

"So, because! I've never been here before where there are so many humans. Hands, don't let go! If you get lost, it's your fault!

"You're a better prospector than me, and you're a better detector of magic. It's nothing. You're scared."

"Ugh! Scary things are scary!

"So you're going home?

"You can't do that! Marie said there was something rare in the human city."

As for Zana, although she is interested in human culture, she is still not well aware of the human ecology itself. In one way or another, the world close to the wild code - white forest with sharp prospecting and excellent detection - also means I can't help but be alert to the area at all times. In short, Xana is cautious and timid compared to Gi.

In the crowd, when Zana holds Gi's hand strongly, Gi holds that hand back.

"I can't help it. Well, I'll be the one to do the right thing."

"Ugh, yeah………………"

Without even correcting Gi's words, Zana was drawn to heavily and walked in the midst of a mess. Gi, while somewhat frightened by the hustle and noise during the day, was glaring at Zana's potential interest on the boulevard.

I'm not sure why I have to do this myself, but I have to do more than that.

"That's amazing. There are so many humans. I feel kind of dizzy."

"That's right. I'm used to it, but I don't want to live here."

Elves, including Gi and Zana, are also diminishing their hatred and vigilance towards humans these days. However, with the exception of some unusual objects, the White Forest, which is still the birthplace, is still better tamed. Time will work around here.

The rarity of the elves went hand in hand, and when Gi and Zana passed, people paved the way. In other words, they were more interested in elf watching than shopping, and thanks to this, they were able to walk.

"Oh, look at that! That!"

"What is that? Weapon shop? No, hardware store? But they also sell clothes and stuff..."

Zana's vigilance was also much easier as she walked, when, suddenly, Zana caught Gi's hand. Ahead of where Zana pointed, there was a grocery store. It seems to be the type of store that deals with excavations, dealing with clothes, daily groceries and even things like armor at the end. Among other things, Zana was blinded by ornaments such as brooches and necklaces.

"Okay, here's the decision. I'll let you choose my gift at this store."

"You know, why do you look so great when I buy it? I guess I should choose what you like."

"You idiot, that doesn't make you an escalator. Pick something that suits me. I'm closing my eyes."

"All right, all right. You want what I think's good for you?

Zana nodded and closed her eyes. If you think about it, Gi and I are childhood friendly, but we just hunt the same prey from a small place, and Gi rarely gave us gifts. What the hell does this guy give himself? Zana inflates her chest to expectations.

A little bit, I felt like I could put something over my head. It's weird and heavy. Zana opened her eyes and took the ornament put on her head, distorting her face.

"This is not a pot!?

"Yeah, you look great."

Gi has a good look and thumbs up all the time. Suzuna punched Gi in the face with the pan. Iron Hot Pot Sanctions.

"That hurts! What the hell!

"That's our line! You don't have a pot! The pot!"

"Wait! Take a good look at the bottom part of that pan!

"…… the lateral part?

A peek at the bottom of the pan pointed to by Gi had something like a letter carved into it.

"That's a brand pot made by a famous human worker. Lightweight, durable, and exclusive! Exclusive! Wow! As much as you want me!

"Ooh!

Zana punched Gi in the face with a pot again. After the dull sound of a bump, Gi rolls around the ground.

"Whoa! What's the pain? Yeah, yeah!

"You sure are sturdy. There's not a scratch if you slap it with all your strength. The pot."

Gi's cheeks were swollen but there was no scratch on the iron pan. I see, it's definitely a first-class product.

But Zana doesn't want a pot. Anyway, I don't care if I get something like this.

But it was the grocery store owner who was in more trouble than that. All of a sudden, Elf starts a couple of comics in front of the store, and he's punching them with a pan of merchandise. I feel like complaining, but the elf is a national guest. I don't want to treat the country badly.

"Um, can I help you?"

That's when the goddess of salvation reached out. The Lord of his voice was a very beautiful blonde daughter, dressed in simple, light peachy clothes. He had a basket down in his hand and seemed to be stuffed with ingredients inside.

"Is that it? Uh, you're sure…………………………."

"My name is Alye. Serene always takes care of you."

Alye, Serene's sister, was not dressed normally as a princess, but was dressed in simple, stubborn clothes. It's outfit enough to convince me to say a little good house lady.

"You both seemed to be rubbing something………"

"No, Zana's guy made Ethnic do something."

Gi fingered Xana with her other thumb as she rubbed her battered cheek. After returning the pan to its original position, Zana had distanced herself from Gi and had searched the store on her own.

"Eh, Ethnic? Were you here for something to eat?

"Well, that's the place."

I answered that because Gi's purpose is primarily to eat. Zana doesn't even have eyes for Gi anymore. Apparently, that's how angry he is.

"Ethnic...... then there is a good way!

Alye grinned and paired his palms with a pound.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Gi and Zana were invited by Alye and even came to the dormitory of the University of Helifarte. Naturally, there are facilities such as food and cafes, but each dorm has a kitchen that is equipped for self-catering.

"Uh, us, why did they call us here?

"Ethnic means you were looking for a local food store, right? I'll behave if it belongs to my hometown. I look like I'm good at cooking."

"Seriously. I was just hungry. There is."

"…… I feel something different. Well, it's lunchtime, okay?"

In contrast to the eye-glowing Gi, Zana didn't really know why this was happening.

However, since it was past noon while strolling with Gi, and I was interested in cooking from a country other than Helifarte, the Elves eventually decided to have some handicrafts from Ale.

They said Alye was on the boulevard earlier to buy ingredients. Today's market opens, so that's when Alye said he was buying a lot of sunshine. They say it's cheaper to eat.

"But Money is served all by Milan, and you can't do that. You're a princess, aren't you?

"I've made it too good for the prince, and I don't want to burden him too much. Besides, I'm an international student now, and most importantly, because Archira is a border. I don't care if you're a princess."

While Alye talks, he continues to cook with great skill. He's going to behave like a vegetable dish and a meat dish, but he's only on his own at the same time. Gi and Zana were blinded by ingredients that were changing their appearance as if they were magic tricks.

"Hey, what's a Henkyo?

"I mean the country. There are also large and small ones in the elf settlements, right? Little guy's human version."

"Hmm."

To Zana's commentary, Gi appropriately hammered. Even in settlements that are not large enough, not everyone belonging to them is fine. And vice versa. Gi is not very interested in the size of the group.

"Even so, you and Serene don't look like princesses. I thought princesses were just like Marie."

When Gi somehow said so, Alye stopped the knife, which had been working handily until then, and laughed to mock herself.

"That's right... I don't really feel like a princess. I'm not particularly good compared to her."

"Compared to Serene? That's because it's definitely not standard."

Indeed, Serene is out of standard in many ways. Mainly in a bad way.

"But, Alye isn't amazing either. I asked Milan, but you're an honorary student, right? Don't be confident."

"Is it? But I don't think Helifarte deserves a minute..."

"Even this idiot is a sheik with Nori momentum, and after all, it's not about the country or the bloodline, it's about what you can do in person. I like you."

"Oh, don't you dare call me a mess!

There was something wrong with Gi and Zana's conversation, and Alye chuckled. Then when Alye resumed cooking again, this time Zana also helped. Gi was sitting in the chair as she was, but Zana kicked her ass and forced her to help. The dish made by Alye was a stewed dish like Potov's.

"Come on, have it. As you can see, it's like home cooking."

"That's not true. This feels kind of nostalgic. It's weird what I said about the elves, but you're relieved."

"Whoo-hoo."

"You drink and then you talk!

At first, he was royal and in the mood to make a sumptuous object, but while the three of us were making it, he reconsidered trying to make it something we could all eat without being distracted, and it became a simple simmering dish, but it seemed quite popular, and Alye strokes down his chest.

"One day, we'll go to Alye and Serene's hometown."

"Yeah, but it's a really small country, isn't it? It's mostly a forest and a field, and it's called" The Land of Horses and Deer "..."

"Horses and deer? Fine. Is something wrong with you? It's the first time I've seen it since White Forest came out, but it's a crazy design. If I had magic, I'd take him home."

"Hey, Archira, this must be a good country."

"Heh heh, I never thought the day would come when you could say that."

Alye smiled calmly. The Elves have absolutely nothing to do with it, such as Lettel, "Fool's Country," and "The Country Daughter of the Smallest Country." Recently, Alye was deeply anxious that he had done nothing to his sister, who was called Princess Moonlight and who was going to accomplish successive feats.

But watching Gi and Zana tells me that they are very natural and alive. Watching it also lightens Alye's mind. You can't be anything but yourself, and you don't have to be. Accept it as it is. Perhaps the Elves are well aware of that.

- Thus, the two elves and the human princess separated the potovs in a soothing atmosphere.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"It was nice to see you today. Let me thank you."

"It's this way to thank you. They also fed me rice. He also gave me directions. I think I can make it back to the castle."

"You were a little lost!?

"Ugh! I've hardly ever been out on my own except when Serene asked me to!

Alye laughed dull with such a conversation in front of her. Gi and Zana, not knowing what was funny, looked at each other together, but were rocked by the carriage Alye had called for us and arrived on their way back to Helifarte Castle.

"Uh, I'm glad Alye happened to be here, but you suck. After all, it hasn't escalated at all."

In total, what happened today wasn't bad, but Gi's escort at heart was the worst of the worst. When Zana muttered so dissatisfied, Gi, sitting beside her, took something like a cylinder out of her jacket pocket.

"There you go."

"What?"

It was totally unintentional, so Zana turned her eyes round. It was a small fruit knife that Gi gave to Zana unconstitutionally. The magic is not caged, but the sheath and patterned parts are made of ivory, with small decorations.

"It's more positive that way than a jewel hanging from your neck, isn't it? You, I like apples, and I bought them."

…………

Zana stared silently at the fruit knife. Indeed, Zana prefers practical objects to poor decorations. Xana loosened her cheeks and when she delivered the knife to the pattern, she grabbed the ivory knife.

"If you don't want it, give it back. I'll use it."

"Shit! I'll never give it back!

"Then I'll do it to you"

"Gi."

"What are you?

"Escalate, I give you a critical point. It's really critical."

"Right. Thanks for that."

When Gi said that, he turned his face to the window opposite Zana. Your cheeks look just a little red, but I don't know if it's because of the West Day.

"Well, then go home to the castle. Suppose we finish the meeting and eat and go to bed? I wonder what dinner will be tonight."

"You...... just ate you during the day and you still haven't eaten enough?

While having such a frivolous conversation, the carriage gently proceeded down the road to the castle.

For the record, the pot that hit the gi was bought by the battered gi himself because he liked the sturdiness. This will add another dish to Gi's home's large collection of pots.
