The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party

39 – MOOD FOR LOVE (1)

Surprisingly few people have visited the elven village. It was because people with that much curiosity about elves tended to meet the elves living or wandering in the neighborhood first rather than going to town, and after traveling with elves for about three days, they gave up their curiosity about elves.

The saying that you can see ten when you see one is a word that is also used in the first impression of elves and their 3-day meeting, and their selfish and lack of emotion behaviors outside of common sense turn the people accompanying them into elves haters or haters who tried to understand elves. helped to change

“I guess you haven’t seen many elves before? I heard there are elves in the empire too.”

I nodded my head at Lena’s question. Although I didn’t know much about elves, it wasn’t that there weren’t elves in the Empire, nor was it that I hadn’t met elves before Millet.

“It all ended in a business relationship, so I didn’t feel anything special about it. I’ve never actually met face to face.”

The only time I met an elf was when I was checking the items I received or by chance passing by on the street. No matter how evil and eccentric a person is by nature, it was a tight time to reveal his true self. Because of the small amount of time and impressions gathered, in fact, before meeting Millet, I was wondering if the elves were quite nice, but I was misunderstood.

“So I’m looking forward to going to the Elf Village. What kind of people are they?”

“Let’s go home and say hello to mom! And I’ll introduce you all over town.”

Millet had an excited expression, like a child taking a friend home. Lena looked at the back of Millet’s head with satisfaction.

“I’m looking forward to it when you say that. By the way, isn’t that what you’re talking about? Don’t you think the villagers are kind?”

“It’s fine! Because I don’t care! The villagers don’t even talk to each other!”

Is not having a good conversation good or bad? I couldn’t bear to ask Millet, so I just shook my head and walked forward. Looking at Millet’s bright appearance, Elviron’s elves could have been brighter than other elves. Like the elves I passed by on business, they were no problem, and I didn’t know if I could live quietly without any harm.

“Where is the sound of flowing water?”

Ashria, who was walking in the lead, looked around and said. The warrior who was walking side by side nodded and said.

“Water sound? Is there a valley or something nearby?”

“Valley? Isn’t there anything like that around here?”

Millet looked around with a puzzled face. I also looked around, turned my head in the direction of the sound of the water, and focused my gaze. Through the trees, I saw a man turned around, staring at the floor with his pointy ears moving around.

“There must be someone looking after you.”

“Well? What are you looking at?”

The male elf, wearing his pants up, saw us behind us and frowned. Is it natural or courageous to be aggressive even when you can clearly see that they are armed? The warrior said in a calm voice.

“Oh, excuse me. We are on our way to Elviron right now, can we go this way?”

“It’s a single road, but you don’t know that, so you ask?”

The hero blinked and looked at me. Lena said in a low voice.

“Let’s go without confrontation.”

“That seems right.”

Ashuria also gave advice with a calm face. The hero smiled again and bowed his head, as if he had heeded our advice.

“Ah yes. Excuse me.”

“I’m still annoyed that I’m caught digging a grave, but I’ll see all the weird guys.”

The elf grumbled, picked up the shovel that had fallen on the floor, and started covering the spot where he had just peed. Ashuria blinked and asked the working elf.

“Hey, you. Did you say grave now?”

The male elf glared at Ashuria while inserting the shovel vertically.

“What else?”

Ashria shook her head and said.

“You must not insult the corpse. Do you have no respect for the dead?”

“I’m going to bury it anyway, so what does it matter if I pee or spit here? Did the dead get up and get angry? He’s not dead anyway. It’s no different than fertilizing it so that it rots well.”

Lena caught Ashuria trying to say something more. she said with a laugh.

“I told you. Let’s just go.”

“No what… … .”

Ashuria was dragged along with a dumbfounded face, Millet laughed and said,

“I must have been in a bad mood because I was caught digging a grave. The elves decide who to bury by drawing lots.”

“I don’t understand. That’s why you insult the dead. I don’t know if the dead are devil worshipers.”

“I guess he was a devil worshiper. Just think about it and move on.”

Lena said that with a non-trivial expression and pushed Ashuria on the back. It was the first time I had seen Ashuria panic while traveling like this, so both I and the hero were watching her with interesting expressions.

“ah! That’s Elviron!”

A red roof stood pointedly in the middle of the forest. Like a house made of maple trees, there was a row of cylindrical wooden buildings, and the large fence was alternately made of wood and iron, giving off a strange atmosphere.

The elven guards guarding the entrance stood there, wearing hard wooden armor and showing off their tall stature. Millet waved at the guards and said.

“hi! long time no see!”

“…..”

When the guards saw Millet, they sighed and looked elsewhere. Millet was undeterred and waved a hand at the other guard. The guard did not accept Millet’s greeting or meet her eyes. He looked at the warrior and said.

“Please identify yourself.”

The warrior took out his ID card from his pocket and held it. The guard checked his ID with his eyes and nodded.

“Ah, we are a party of warriors in the kingdom. An agreement between the kingdom and the empire is in progress, so I’m looking for a place to stay for a while… … .”

“Ah yes. Okay. So, you came to rest for a while. for the duration of the agreement.”

The soldier waved his hand with a very annoying expression and cut off the hero’s words. The hero looked at the guard with a dumbfounded face and tilted his head. The guard opened the notebook without even checking the warrior’s expression. Then he counted the number of us and wrote down the number.

“Go.”

The hero still blinked as if he did not understand the situation from before, then nodded one beat later and said.

“Ah yes. Go, let’s go.”

We also tilted our heads, unable to understand the guard’s shrewd attitude, and Lena asked Millet.

“Did the guards feel bad today too?”

“yes? What are you talking about?”

“The warrior cut off his words and just sent it roughly.”

Millet tilted her head and answered Lena.

“Since it ended quickly, isn’t it good for each other? A hero doesn’t have to explain everything, and it’s good that a guard doesn’t have to do a lot of work.”

“….is it?”

It seemed that Lena had already started to get colored after entering the village. I stood at the entrance of the village to calm my embarrassment and looked around.

The interior of the town was more bizarre than seen from beyond the fence. There was no life at all, and the villagers passing by didn’t even pay attention to us. Looking to the side, children kept their mouths shut and walked around like melancholic philosophers, and adults kept their mouths shut like people conspiring to commit suicide.

There was no color in the village except for the red-painted roofs. The bark was not trimmed, and the surface was not planed, as if people naturally live in trees that look like that.

brown and ocher. It was a gloomy brown city. Even the green recording felt like a meaningless and gloomy color in this room. The hero stood at the entrance of the village and gasped.

“uh… … . Well… … .”

“how? our town? Are you feeling calm?”

Millet laughed as he spoke, so we couldn’t express our honest impressions. Lena said this in a situation where she was wondering who would bring up the story first.

“That’s right. it’s a nice town It’s like living in nature. I heard that elves are friendly with nature, but I think that’s right. It is very beautiful.”

Ashuria responded, not to be outdone.

“That’s right. It’s a serene atmosphere that reminds me of the church chapel where I was. Finding such a quietness in nature is one of the charms, and the elves seem to be well aware of that charm.”

I couldn’t lose either. He looked at the two of them and nodded.

“I regret why I didn’t visit the elven village in the Empire. It is a town with a unique character, so I think it will remain in my memory forever. That’s cool.”

And we looked at the hero without saying who came first. Millet’s eyes were sparkling with anticipation for the hero and with the praise we showered on her earlier.

“yes? Yes? uh, uh… ! that’s it… … . um, that’s cool It’s so cool. So… … . yes! like that mountain… … ! Awesome!”

The warrior smiled awkwardly and spread his arms.

“Write… … .”

“a… … .”

“Warrior… … . that’s kinda… … .”

We shook our heads and looked at the hero, and Millet also said with a mysterious expression.

“Well… … . Go, thank you?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha… … .”

The warrior was crying today.
