After maybe one or two hours of sleep, I was awoken by Naomi.
Apparently, the faries were done discussing, and they were willing to go with us.
When I woke up, most of them had just left with their king, who carried a note written by the royalty of our group.
Without it, I doubt they would be able to enter the kingdoms nearby, since they were all so...unqiue?
Tch, I demand a proper explanation?! Where did the cliche, cute faries I know and love go?!
Well, the way their small wings fluttered behind them as they flew...was quite cute...I guess.
No, wait! Don't fall for it, me! They're all horny bastards!
Even if this body is female, I am a man at heart! I'll never be pushed down, even if I die!
Never!
"Achoo." a few sneezes appeared around me.
Eh? Did everyone get a cold? But it's still in the middle of summer?
"Let's head to the elvish kingdom, Elaine should be there."
Hmm? My knight?
"Ah, she has some elvish blood in her, doesnt she."
Hoh?!
As I was deep in thought, a big hand landed on my head.
"Nathan?"
"Are you still sleepy?"
Heh, I may be older now, but I still sleep a lot, don't I?
"No, I'm fine." patting the dust off my robe, I stood up with a big yawn, "Are we leaving now?"
"Mmhmm. " Luton looked over and smiled.
How healing, the smile of a newly wed bride~ it's so bright I can't help but squint~
That's no good~ I just steeled my resolve~
But if it's him, won't I be the one pushing him down?
Oho.
Just kidding~
Looking around, everyone was already ready to go, and with almost no baggage on me, I could leave anytime as well.
"Nicole." Naomi called out.
"Hmm?"
"You were sleeping, so I didn't call you, but here's some treats from the faries." She offered a plate with a translucent blob shaped into a leaf.
Oh my.
It's calling out to me.
Those curves, that hint of moisture sliding off the sides, those-
"Do you want it or not?"
"I do~" I replied as I pounced towards her arms, biting down on the jelly.
Oh my.
How delicious, it's so sweet~
Basking in the after taste, I leaned against the queen as her arms coiled around me.
Delicious~
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Looking up, I saw the queen smiling back.
Ohohohohoho, what an evil smile, I will move away now.
"Is there anymore?"
"Eat in moderation."
Moderation? What's that?
Is that edible?
"If you eat too much, you'll start growing horizontally and not vertically."
!
My weak spot!
The average height here was terrifying, around 2.5 meters.
And as a beastman, I hit my growth spurt amazingly early, and it was reaching its end soon.
Maybe in a year or so.
...I feel like going to that corner now.
Don't mind me, I'll just be weeping there for a quick second.
But before I could even move there, my hand was grabbed by Naomi, "Let's go, hold on."
...what an evil smile.
Jumping onto her, I coiled around here like a small octopus, my arms and legs around her torso as she jumped from the tree.
Hii—
My fragile heart!
As expected of the queen, the over achiever, the disgustingly talented, she landed with a graceful pose.
Undoubtedly, without me as the octopus ruining the picture, she would've gotten three 10s, with the judges raising the paper with tears of admiration in their eyes.
Tch.
Now that I think about it, she's really quite the material for the main character.
She's rich, has a tragic background (?), talented, beautiful, small chested and an undefeated genius.
...ah, there's tears in my eyes.
Also, please let me down, it's uncomfortable with your face so close, I already know how disgustingly beautiful you are.
-------------------
After two days of rushing, we came to the elvish empire.
It may be called a kingdom, but undoubtedly, it was an empire in my eyes!
This is the only place where elves gathered, sure, there were travellers here and there and some elves residing in other kingdoms, but this was the only empire where the royalty was made up of elves and the citizens were a majority of elves.
Entering the empire was scary too, it was a complete culture shock.
The buildings were mostly made of marble and other white material, the streets were extremely clean and filled with beautiful luscious greenery.
The elves wore clothes of soft colours, there was barely any dark or harsh colours.
It was a healing sight for the eyes.
The people here were rather androgynous, even more so considering that almost all of them had long hair, I could totally see how the female knight got her genes from.
...what a feast for the eyes~
Ohohohohohoho~
Unknowingly, the tail I hid under my robe wiggled out and started wagging as my nose was assaulted by the fragrant scent of fruits.
Fruits appeared everywhere, hanging off vines on walls and on trees.
People were casually eating them as well~
Reaching up, I tried to reach a purple, oval fruit.
Keyword: Tried.
"Here." a tall arm appeared from behind me, shooting up and grabbing a fruit.
Disgusting.
This is discrimination! Where's the consideration for short people?!
Biting down, the fruit exploded in my mouth. The flesh of the fruit spread around my mouth, releasing the seeds it protected.
Oh my, do I swallow them?
"The seeds can be eaten." Ethan spoke from behind me.
Hearing that, I immediately started to chew.
How delicious~
"Stop delaying, let's go." Nathan's voice came from behind me as well, "Elaine should be at the castle."
Following them, I came to the castle.
Oh my~
It followed the theme of the empire, it was built with marble and white wood, with vines entangling the castle, it looked like something from a fairy tale~
How pretty~
!
No, you mustn't be fooled!
The Bastard that made this world is undoubtedly a pervert! Remember the faries!
Slapping my cheeks with my palm, I snapped out of my stupor and ran towards the group, who had already walked in front of me.
"Wait for me~"
Chasing forwards, I entered the castle with them.
"If you're here for an alliance, Enimo has already been here." The princess called out the moment we stepped in.
Dressed in a plain white dress, she sat elegantly on a chair as she watched us enter the throne room, "Royalty of the Fraiser kingdom, are you all?"
Enimo? Isn't that the first prince of the current king?
He had a twin as well, Inimo.
Pfft—
What shitty naming.
Eni, Meeny, Miny, Mo, catch the spider on the wall.
Pftt—
"What a pretty child." The princess looked over.
Geh?
What's with everyone? Even the faries, now the elves.
Is there any...fetishes they have I need to know about?
"Is that so?" Nathan spoke, "Regardless, it has been a tiring trip for us, it would be much appreciated if we could be given a place to rest."
"Of course, " she pointed her dainty fingers at a guard nearby.
Led away, we were given single guest rooms.
Oh my, I have my own room~
Running in, it was a simple get elegant room decorated by plants, inside was just a desk, chair and bed, yet it somehow seemed lavish, with the window revealing a beautiful view towards the royal garden.
Oh my, I'm in love~
Jumping onto the soft bed, I was all ready to sleep again, but was disrupted by Naomi.
"Want to go out to the streets? "
Oh my.
"We'll stay here for a few days." She spoke as she slowly walked to the bed and sat down.
"Hey. " after a short silence, I asked, "Is there any strange...preferences of elves, I should know about?"
"Hmm? " slightly taken aback, she looked at me strangely.
"You know, like the faries."
"Ah," She thought for a moment, "They like soft colours, especially white."
Oh my.
"I like it as well," She rested her cheek on her palm, "White is a colour that makes you want to taint it."
Ah.
It's that feeling of wanting to put a booger on a pure white wall, isn't it?
Eh? It's just me who feels that way?
...I'm sorry, I'll go an reevaluate my life choices now.
