The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party

40 – MOOD FOR LOVE (2)

“Try to laugh.”

There are two elves facing each other. A woman with a slightly more mature appearance put her hand in the young elf’s mouth. Then, raise the corners of your mouth to the sides and turn your face toward the mirror.

“Try to laugh. like this.”

Young elf tries to laugh. However, there is no elf that can laugh heartily in such a situation. An awkwardly crooked laugh. The corner of the mouth is half twisted and the eyebrows are twisted, and the smile becomes an ugly image in the mirror, carving a nightmare for the young elf.

However, mature elves are merciless. She forced a smile into the young elf’s face once again. His cheeks were crushed and his teeth were showing through the cracks in his lips, making him look ridiculous. However, the young elf couldn’t even smile when he saw it.

My weight hurts, and I’m scared because my face is strained.

“You can do it. Smile because you can.”

However, mature elves do not understand the minds of young elves. One thing she believes in It’s just that this little elf can smile brightly.

“hi!”

Millet smiled brightly and greeted the elf elder. The elf elder simply accepted her greeting and blinked. The hero was relieved to see him accept Millet’s greeting. For some reason, we also felt fortunate that he accepted the greeting. Lena rubbed her eyes and said.

“Hey, am I the only one who’s tired already? It feels like a long march.”

“You actually walked a lot, didn’t you?”

Ashuria brushed it off calmly, but her face also showed a strange tiredness. When I look in the mirror, my face will be burdened with fatigue. I looked at the hero without interfering in their conversation. The warrior laughed and said.

“I was taken care of so suddenly. Thank you for your hospitality.”

Unexpectedly, the elf elder really welcomed us. There were delicious-looking foods on the table, and the elf elder greeted us with a solemn expression, dressed neatly and neatly. He bowed his head at the warrior’s words and said.

“no. It is natural to serve food to all of you who fight against the Demon King’s army. Please do not hesitate and eat a lot.”

The table stretched all the way to us in front of the warrior and gave off a delicious smell. Miele stamped her feet invisibly, wanting to eat quickly, and Lena was also sitting on the table, fingering, waiting for the meal to begin.

Both Ashria and I were staring at the food because we were hungry.

“Yes. Then we will eat well.”

That’s how the dinner with the elven elders began. The food consisted mainly of meat wrapped in leaves and steamed, fruit salads, and bread, but, befitting a tribe living in the forest, the liver was very plain, so it went into the mouth without getting tired of it. Millet shed tears, saying that it was the taste of her hometown that she hadn’t eaten in a long time, and Ashuria opened her eyes wide and increased the speed of eating.

The elder elf looked at the warrior who cut and ate the bread neatly and said.

“We are also hearing about the performance of the warriors.”

The warrior nodded and smiled.

“Ah, that’s an overstatement. This is a feat that could not have been accomplished without the other kingdom commanders and soldiers.”

“Especially, during the last agreement, the story of insulting the opposing commander and knocking him out on the spot was very memorable. I didn’t know that the warrior’s eloquence would be so outstanding.”

“Cheup! greatness… ! Well… !”

Lena, who was eating rice wrapped in leaves, turned her head away trying to hold back her laughter. The warrior smiled with a subtle expression and nodded.

“Ah, ahahahaha… ! Yes. I’m that… … . I hate demons so much. Uh, it just happened to be like that… … . There is foul language coming out.”

“You are humble. Then enjoy your meal.”

“Ah yes. Thank you for the hospitality.”

The elder elf stood up and stopped moving for a moment. Then he nodded and smiled and looked at us and said.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t talk about the lodging.”

The story of the accommodation was a rather important issue. Seeing the warm hospitality of the elder Elf, the hero seemed to expect that he would give him a separate room or official residence. We stopped eating and listened to the story of the elven elder.

“I’ll tell the inn about accommodation, so you can get a 30% discount. Then I hope you can rest in peace.”

The elf elder moved slowly and left the room. Millet said in an excited tone.

“Give me a 30% discount! That’s great! They usually don’t give discounts or anything like that!”

Ashria nodded with a really tired face. Strangely, her face was getting more and more tired as time went on.

“I am very happy. millet.”

Lena said, starting to eat again.

“right. right. You’re giving me a 30% discount, right? The elf I worked with was stabbed to death by me while insisting that he get 30% more. Compared to that, it’s a nobleman.”

The warrior said with a calm face that he had given up.

“Then how many rooms should I get? If you take one by one into a private room, I, Uncle, Lena, Ashuria, and Millet. Can I get 5 of these? The kingdom will pay for the expenses anyway.”

Millet stopped eating and said with a puzzled face.

“yes? Why five?”

“Why 5?”

“Do I have a house here?”

“…Ah, that’s right.”

The warrior also seemed very tired. Lena giggled and said to the attendant next to her.

“Is there any alcohol here?”

“Alcohol is paid.”

“driving me crazy. really.”

Lena shook her head and drank the water in all directions like alcohol. and told me

“mister. Look at this. Looking at the wine bottle over there, drinking water like this makes you feel like you’re drinking?”

Lena also seemed very tired. I shook my head, poured water into a bowl like Lena did, and looked at the wine. Then he gulped down and spat out exclamations as if he were drinking alcohol.

“nice… ! Oh, it looks like you’re really drinking.”

“Is not it? Ahahahaha!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Our laughter echoed through the room.

Our free meal came to an end with such a pleasant drinking party.

*****

But I didn’t drink, so it’s not possible to get drunk. After filling our stomachs by scooping water for a long time, we rubbed our uncomfortable stomachs and staggered to the rear. The hero was rubbing his hair to soothe his fatigue, while Ashuria rubbed the cross hanging around his neck and closed his eyes. said Lena.

“But it is very dark here at night. Are you living without the lights on?”

“Because when the light is bright, bugs flock. Turn on the light like this at night. Elves have good night vision.”

The lighting was so dim that I felt like I was in a fog. The misty light emanating from all sides made me fall into the illusion that I was really drunk. Because it was a mountain, thanks to the sun setting quickly, we walked in a straight line toward the inn looking at the stars.

“I think this is good. There are no more bugs than I thought. It’s so romantic. If you look at the sky, the lighting is weak, so you can see the stars.”

Lena looked up at the sky and said. The hero also nodded as if agreeing with Lena’s words.

“Yeah. It’s a new feeling to see the stars like this in town. It’s kind of like camping in the woods.”

“right. Oh, Millie. Where is Millet’s house?”

Millet had a really happy face after coming back to her hometown after a long absence. She hummed and walked in the front line, then raised her finger at Lena’s question.

“there!”

It was a house on a hill a little up from the inn we were going to. It was quite large and the location was good, so I thought that he was a person in an important position in this town. said Lena.

“millet. what. Were you rich?”

“yes? I’m not rich, but my mom is a researcher, so the house is big! It needs a lot of books.”

“Is your mother a researcher? Elf researchers are known for their deep learning and good research results thanks to their age.”

“yes! right! There were several mother papers in the kingdom, and she said that the graduate students she taught at graduate school are still studying at graduate school.”

“It seems like it was a long time ago, but are you still in graduate school? You seem to be very interested in studying.”

I didn’t know exactly what graduate students were, so I agreed with Lena’s words appropriately. The warrior also said.

“I’ll be happy to be under a good professor.”

“right. I want my mom to graduate, too, but I said I should hold on to it for about five more years because my skills aren’t enough. I think mom’s passion is really great. Awesome!”

We arrived at a fork in the road before we knew it. Millet looked back and forth between the house and the lodging. The warrior laughed and said.

“You can go home first. millet. You’re going home after a long time.”

When the hero gave permission, Millet climbed the hill without looking back with her eyes twinkling.

“mom!”

The door burst open with a high voice resounding through the hills, and before I knew it, not even a shadow remained of Millet.

“Dev. Did you bury your father well?”

“uh.”

“I have to go tomorrow and make sure I buried it properly, so mark the location on the map and go.”

“uh.”

And beside us like that, the elf who was digging the grave earlier passed by. Ashuria covered her head, and Lena said.

“Don’t worry. The more I worry, the more tired I am.”

“…Let’s go quickly and rest.”

The warrior looked really tired.
