「Well… It is, but actually…」(Celine)
Celine stopped talking for some reason and scratched her cheeks with her index finger.
Hm? Is it difficult to use or has a side effect or something?
「Never mind.
More importantly, we should leave this place before someone finds us.」(Celine)
Saying that, Celine grabbed my and Nicola’s hands and started walking restlessly.
She said this is her hometown, but… Does she have a traumatic experience here…?
Her behavior made me curious but I didn’t have the courage to ask.
「Hey, stop right there!」(?)
Unfortunately, someone found us and immediately blocked our way.
It was a man in his twenties with a long blonde, a well-organized face, and… pointy ears…?
Ah, he must be an elf! This is the second time I’ve seen someone of a different race.
The first one was, of course, a dwarf, Nei-san.
「Geh! Deel!? Oh, God, why do I have to encounter this man of all people…」(Celine)
「Oh? That weird black dress… Celine, is that you? Long time no see!」(Deel)
The guy called Deel waved at Celine and approached us while smirking as if making fun of Celine’s dress.
「Weird, you say? Look at yourself.
How can you wear that lame green clothes all year long?」(Celine)
「Hey, this is the traditional clothes of our village, you know! So, what’s the matter? It’s been a while since the last time you came home… Hm? Who are these children…? Don’t tell me… Celine, did you…」(Deel)
Deel was taken aback when he finally noticed me and Nicola.
He looked at us with his eyes wide open.
「Why do you care? It’s not your problem.
Anyway, I wanna go to my parents’ house, so can you step aside?」(Celine)
「Waaait, wait, wait! You know that we can’t bring strangers to our village via Portal Crystal, don’t you? What are you gonna do about that?」(Deel)
「I know but it’s not that I will get punished or anything, right? Besides, if I didn’t use my Portal Stone, we would have been buried alive.
I’m the guardian of these children, so their safety is my responsibility.」(Celine)
「Th..
Their guardian!?」(Deel)
Deel looked shocked for some reason.
It’s true that Celine is our guardian but it seems like Deel thinks that she is more than just a guardian.
「…Well, I apologize for breaking the rules but those rules are made so that we don’t bring bad people here, right? Look at them.
They are just innocent children.
I can guarantee that they won’t do anything stupid here, so I hope you can let it slide this time.
See you~」(Celine)
After saying that, Celine walked past Deel, who was still frozen in shock, and proceeded to the woods.
Nicola and I were naturally following her from behind.
「Say, Celine.
That Deel guy is an elf, right?」(Mark)
「Umm, to be exact, he’s a half-elf.」(Celine)
So he is a mixed race, huh?
I didn’t know half-elves exist because the books I read at Sunday School didn’t mention anything about them.
「Hee… a half-elf, huh…? It’s the first time I’ve seen them.」(Mark)
「What are you talking about? Don’t you realize that you see a half-elf almost every day?」(Celine)
「What do you mean…?」(Mark)
「Some half-elves have pointy ears just like elf ears but some others have the same ears as human ears.」(Celine)
「Is that so? Then there’s a half-elf among my acquaintances?」(Mark)
「Yup~ And that person is the beautiful lady who is currently talking to you~」(Celine)
Saying that, Celine winked at me.
「…Eh?」(Mark)
