Chapter 72

At the western end of 《Euphrates dukedom 》there is a small country 《 Axeplant kingdom 》and from here 2500UL to the south there is a port city 《Rindohairu》, from there I boarded a boat into the《Azel Limes empire 》territory.

Altogether, it’s a trip of about 3 days by boat.

I went to the deck to get some fresh air in the meantime.   Naturally, I’m not able to manage my free time by doing something like this.

[Ah~. Nice weather]

For about one week, a nice weather has continued all the time.

I’ll also get worried in the future about this condition, if this sunny weather were to continue, will the water be fine?

[The only ones whom are able to use the 《water magic》 are Lily or Selen ……]

When water was short, you could create it from magic for an emergency measure……。

Because those fellows are partic.i.p.ating as a 『voluntary army』, I think I may have untied 《 tight binding 》 of Lulu anyway.

[But, Well, the water in the well is still a lot……  and Zegius is there too, he would be able to manage it in one way or another when the time comes……]

It’s said that even the bandit group of goblins settled in the back of the mountain.

Just because Jiji is old and Tao is weak, even they can give fight, I’m not the only person who falls behind schedule.

Well… Lulu isn’t the part of the fighting force at all…….。

[I mean, why do I being a queen have to worry about them so much…….。 Moreover , I am 『working away from home』 by myself……]

Hah….。 I sighed

Where did I make a mistake in making the country…….?

And, a sudden gust of wind came.

[Uwaaa!]

[Eh?]

When I turned toward the direction of the voice I heard, a figure was visible on the second floor of the deck.

[Mo, mou…….  what ‘s with this wind……]

The girl who complains toward the sky while keeping her long skirt.

[Ah]

[……  h.e.l.lo]

Her eyes met with mine that I looked at from below.

(…..A deep green eyes , that blond hair……. And, pointed ear characteristic …)

Probably that is an 『elf tribe』.

I have seen them several times in the previous life, but this is the first time I’m seeing one in 『the third lap』…….

[……  Did you see it?]

[Eh?]

[Please don’t pretend ignorance, you…….  My underpants……  Did you see it?]

The girl of the elf tribe looked down at me with a sulky look.

It is a lisping tone, but somewhat she speaks the language of the human tribe fluently.

[No ……I think that I probably did not see it]

[…… Is it true?]

The girl looked at me with eyes of suspicion.

Those deep green pupils somewhat looks like jewels, it’s beautiful. I think.

And silence of a few tens of seconds.

Meanwhile, she glares quietly with eyes like jewels.

[……  Aree?　 You……  a girl …… ?]

The girl who utters a word suddenly.

[Eh?…… yes, I am……]

I think.

Since the beginning of the third lap in the world, haven’t occured for people to see me as something other than a 『woman』 in the first meeting until now.

(………Ah, i see. Those 『eyes』?………)

Those 『eyes』 such as a dark green jewel.

If I am not mistaken, I have heard that the elf tribe were provided with a peculiar 『magical power』 before.

The eyes that reflect the 『truth』 of anything.

It isn’t known whether it’s true…….

[Hey, come here for a second and let’s talk a little? I have free time now]

[…… (Ji~)] {Staring}

[Ah, No. It is not like I will eat you]

[……..(JiJiJi~) {Staring}

[……As expected, are you doubting me? Oh, well, I’ll go back to the room. Even if I had cake –]

[I’ll go!]

[…..Un?]

[Th, this cake is amazing, so delicious~! ///]

The Elf’s girl happily fills in her mouth with the cake.

[Of course. Because anyhow it’s the homemade cake a genius chef made.]

I don’t know why but for some reason, before departure Tao gave me a whole homemade cake.

[I became a kid in there]

[No,  I don’t get what you mean.]

[Mumuu]

Elf girl stuffed a lot of cake into her cheek pouches.

Are you a hamster?

[Haaaa /// It was good/// Thank you for the meal!]

The girl puts away the dish and the fork to the washstand.

She seems to know the etiquette of this place.

[And? Shall we go with self-introduction first of all]

I who ended feeding her begin to talk so.

[Ah …。 I was too engrossed eating the cake …。For this, I’m sorry …]

Pekori(action of quickly bowing), the girl politely bowed her head

When she bows quickly, her ears are shaking, and somehow it is cute, I think .

[I …… I think that you are already aware……。I am a survivor of 『the elf tribe』 accredited as 『an endangered species tribe』 now, my name is Airi Woodrock]

The endangered species tribe…….。

If I am not mistaken, Zegius being from the Dwarf tribe said such a thing before …..。

[Ah–.I am Kazuha. Kazuha Axeplant. Nice to meet you Airi ]

[…..]

[?? ……  Airi?]

Somehow Airi becomes hardened.

[Ka,ka……Kakakakakaka……]

[….Ka?]

Her head was facing me and looked at me surprised.

What? Is my face so strange?

Do not insult me secretly, Oi.

And as such Airi began to cry.

[Kakaka, Kazuha Axeplant- samaaa!? Th, that 『War maiden』, that is famous all over the world……]

[Ah. Yes.  Maybe.  Nice to meet you]

[!] ! ! ! ! ! ! bukubukubukubuku]

[Ah, She fainted……]

Yare yare.

It’s possibly, I’ll get this kind of reaction from now on wherever I go?

This seems troublesome indeed…….

As expected, Is it impossible for me to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament compet.i.tion with my real name……?

Though I considered such thing–.

―― I raised in my arms Airi who had fainted and decided to let her rest in the bed calmly.
