Hmm… what should I do?
I have…something to do myself.
Leave them?
… I can’t…this is unsettling… there is a scent of blood with them…
It doesn’t come from them… so I’m guessing… they caught the scent from someone else…
The silver haired elf tugs my clothes… I’m in… the deep thought here… please don’t be rude…
“Mister, What’s your name?”
“Yeah! That’s right! I shall give you the privilege to name thyself in front of us!”
“Susanoo…”
I simply answered like that. The blond elf acts high and mighty. It’s adorable, though. The silver elf is pacifying or scolding most of her actions. They are a nice combination.
“Hahaha! Susanoo! Very well! I shall name myself so listen carefully!”
“Casablanca! P-please, don’t be rude to our savior!”
“Eh, Ah… okay. Ehem! I am Casablanca Prasiolite! You better remember that!”
“Um… I am…eh…my name is Hibiscus Prasiolite!”
“”We are the youngest twin daughters of Hinoki Prasiolite, the current ruler of Elven Forest United Federation!””
Wow… What the hell should I do?
How should I answer them?
They look so proud. Should I act surprised or excited?
I don’t want to disappoint their expectations to a commoner like me.
“I-incredible! Ummm…”
“H-H-H-H-Hibiscus! He is not even i-i-impressed! Uu…”
“C-calm down, Casablanca! He said incredible! You heard him right?”
“But! But look at his eyes! It’s saying “I’m not interested!” to our introduction!!”
“Maybe…maybe he is just naturally like that!”
“I..I suppose so...!”
“Haaa….”
So noisy...
Oh… my eyes are commanding me to sleep… but I must not… this is an unfamiliar place and these kids… ah…
I lost to my drowsiness and fell… urges…why are you so strong?
THUD
“GYAAAAAH! Hibiscus! Susanoo is dead! What should we do?!”
“Eh? Calm down! He is still breathing! We should um…”
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
That’s the last thing I hear before submitting to my urge to sleep. My clothes are still wet…
.
.
.
THUD
Oww…
THUD
Oww…
THUD
Oww… ah… what’s happening?
This again?
I feel a bit dizzy now… this is happening to me since I left the harbor town.
I open my eyes to see the situation…
“Hibiscus, please keep up with my pace!”
“Ueeh… Casablanca…I didn’t think his leg would be this heavy!”
“I’m having a hard time too! This man should be thankful we didn’t leave him alone!”
“Casablanca, you’re at it again. That’s why you are easily misunderstood and has no friends.”
“H-H-Hibiscus! I- I have friends you know! And I am fine too with Hibiscus!”
“Geez, Casablanca…”
THUD
Ah…they are dragging me by lifting my legs.
The blond elf carries the left leg and the silver elf carries the right. I’ll call out to them… yeah… my head is going to split…
“Hey…you two…”
“OH! You’re awake!”
“Thank goodness!”
“How long have I been asleep?”
““About ten minutes.””
Ten minutes?! That’s not my sleeping quota. Ah,…forget it…
“Could you two please let go of my legs… I can walk by myself now…”
“Okay!”
“Be grateful that I even touched you!”
I have a few bumps in the back of my head…
I stand up.
My clothes are already dried…maybe because they kept dragging me around…
Anyway… there are more important things that bother me… like…
“You two are twins, right? But it seems…”
They look at each other then they look at me again.
“Is that all? Well, to tell you the truth… we are half human, fourth spirit elf and, fourth magic elf.”
“Mama is half spirit elf and half magic elf. Papa is a human.”
“Oh? That’s rather quite interesting. Isn’t elf people strict about something like being full blood or something?”
“Ehehehe! Not since Mama became the leader! She told us that it was taken care a century ago.”
Ah… then they have a capable mother…and a leader I think… The magic elf must be referring to elf with light skin and the spirit elf with the tan skin… century ago huh… I wonder how old are they?
“Ah…age?”
“I’m 124 years old!”
The blond elf said with a smug showing superiority. The silver elf cuts in.
“Geez, Casablanca! I’m so sorry. We are actually just twelve years old!”
“Ahahaha… I was just kidding you know! I-It’s a royal joke!”
“Casablanca…”
“Hibiscus, please don’t look at me with that eyes! Please!”
“Casablanca…you tried hard…”
“Ueehhh….”
Do your best blond elf… while I don’t…
No… I should… do my best too… for Asagao…
But…
“What are you two doing here? Shouldn’t you two be in the elven city?”
Yes…there is something odd here… the faint scent of blood that sticks to them…
“Hehehe! We are on a quest! We are finding a rare herb for a presentation in the Academy!”
“Un. Just as Casablanca said, we have been in the forest for three days now.”
“Just… the two of you?”
“No, we hired human adventurers! S-class adventurers! But we got separated from them since last night.”
“What happened?”
“Hey… Hey, Hibiscus… what happened again?”
“We were chased by magical beast wolves and the adventurers intercepted them and made us ran away, but…um… we were caught by that treant…”
“Yes, Yes! Then you saved us! Hehehe! You’re so strong! Want to be my personal guard?!”
I see… adventurers huh… I heard about them…S-class huh… I heard that an S-class adventurer can defeat a devil alone.
For them to intercepts lowly magical beasts and too long at that… that sounds fishy…
Haa… I better keep my eyes on these two…
“Hey! Hey! Be my personal guard!”
“Susanoo, What magic did you use earlier?!”
“Hey! Let’s walk! Come on! Hey!”
“Susanoo, you’re so tall!”
“Hey! Look Look! A mushroom!”
“Susanoo, do you have food?”
So noisy… But I can’t leave them now…I am unable to… no, in the first place… I don’t plan on leaving them…
I can just carry these two and use my mini warp, but I may lose control and we might fall… the fall hurts me a bit, but a fall from high places for these children whose limbs are thin, the fall wouldn’t be a joke…
For now… I am just going to escort them to the elven capital…
Thanks to their predicament earlier too that… I was able to devise a new technique…
Come to think of it… isn’t that my destination for now?
I mean… the possibility of Asagao being in the elven capital, or any indication… that she is from here…might be high…
And I don’t know how to go there… how careless of me…
“Please…stop pulling my arms sideways… please don’t shake me too…"
“Susanoo, please help us to look for the herb too!”
“Yes! If it Susanoo, then we can find it!”
“Such baseless trust… Anyway… I will help you two… I need to go to the elven capital too…”
“”YAY!!””
And there are those fishy adventurers… these two children… for now… I shall protect them… If they have evil intentions for these two… no doubt… I will reap their lives.
“Hibiscus! We have him! We have him!”
“Casablanca! C-calm down too! Ehehehe…”
“You’re getting out of your character! That’s…that’s royally shameless!”
“Casablanca…”
“*Sob* Uehhh….*hic* don’t look at me like that again!”
Haa… these two…
Apparently, the elven forest is so serene and quiet.
Only these two are noisy…
Really noisy…
RUMBLE RUMBLE
Eh?
“That sound… you two…”
“S-Susanoo…um… you know…”
“Eh…um… do you have… something to…”
“We are hungry since last night.”
“”Could you please give us something to eat?””
The upturned look.
