179 7-18 Happiness desire to be a half elf

Oh, shit.

None of them.........

All of them are described against half-elves as lowly, inferior species........

On the other hand, if they're so thorough, you might think that's true, but I haven't seen them all yet........

I mean, even if they were inferior, would they be allowed to be treated like that?

If that's the case, you're kidding me.

Isn't there something aesthetically wrong with looking at a half-elf's face and thinking he's inferior?

Even the way you look is a gift that you're born with.

There are those who have not!

It's the same as the others...

Well, the next time...

Oops, I guess I'm done with what I borrowed this time.

Could it be that all the books in the library have been censored by the kingdom faction...?

I don't think it's possible, but I can't believe that the inconvenient history never happened....

'Let's take a short break...'

'No, uh ... well ... yes,'

Since Wendy started helping me, I've been taking a solid break.

Even if I think she's still okay, she'll check on me like this and then suggest a break.

The progress is more than twice as fast as it should be, probably because I listened to what he said and took a good rest.

''Huh....

Hold the head of the eye to relieve eye fatigue.

I give her an eye massage and then take a break.

Would you like me to make you lunch?

Yeah. I'll do it today. I need a change of scenery.

Okay. So, let's start with the shopping.

'Well, let's do that. And while we're at it, why don't we stop by the library and return the book and check it out?

Mizella ran off today and White is chasing after her.

The three of them were supposed to be training in the garden, but they weren't there....

So, today we're going shopping together.

First of all, it's the vegetable vendor's aunt's store that we usually go to.

It seems that Misela got some Tomatoes last time, so maybe we can buy a lot of them today.

Hello to you.

Oh, hey, welcome. Are there two of you today?

Yes. I'm alone with my master today.

All right, all right. That's a nice smile. So, thank you, Mizera. I've been running around here today.

'Uh ... you bother me every time ...'

It's all right. We're charming compared to our lord. Come on, talk about it...

The owner of the vegetable shop suddenly turned his head to the side and I looked at him........

''I've been found........!

You have one more go at it today. Use it?

You can still get away with it...

Hm. Okay, I'll get him to use it.

In the distance is Mizella running away and White smiling happily........

Are those guys doing this on their own, setting their own rules........

''Shall we go shopping over there later?

'Yes. And let's be careful with White...

I agree. I'll tell him later to stop because it's annoying to run in a crowded area........

'And yet........that's really a normal reaction.......'

When I was listening to the story so far, I was surprised by the reaction of the people of this city to Mizera.

I honestly thought they only reacted harshly to discrimination, but....

''You mean Mizera-chan?''

Oh, no...

It was an infinitesimal voice, talking to herself, but the lady seemed to hear it while she put the vegetables in her basket.

This is a commercial city. Many people come here, even from other countries. It's normal for people to be half-breed in other countries, but if people say they are discriminated against in this town, they won't come here.

"Besides," the woman continued.

...we common people don't know anything. Maybe he has a good reason for that. But that's not our problem. We're the King's Own People, but we're the Lords of Ainsdale. The lord is a thing, you know that, right?

I take the vegetables that were handed to me in a yes-yes, and I'm a little taken aback.

.....

I know you've had a hard time........ She was munching on our vegetables, her eyes moistening as she said thank you.... What a good boy. You make me happy, don't you?

Yeah. Of course. I promise.

You'll be fine. You're a Lord of Ainsdale, too. We'll all enjoy the chase in peace. Will you?

When Auntie said that, before I knew it, the shopkeepers who had gathered there were nodding widely.

I see.....

Oh, I'm glad this town is the first town I've arrived in.

It's a good thing I have a home here....

'Master. You look happy.

Yeah. I love it. I love this city.

'Hmmm, I love this city where I met my master too.

Wendy gently grabs my hand and intertwines our fingers together.

It's called a lover's hug.

After this, when we went shopping at the store, we kept our hands together.

Some people chided me for being like a newlywed, but I didn't let go of my hand.

I stopped at the library to check out a new book, and by the time lunch was ready, Mizella and White returned.

As for Aina and the others, they stopped by the guild to check their quests.

Aina and the others are apparently heading to the quests after lunch.

And since they received an order for potions from the Adventurer's Guild, we'll be making potions in the afternoon........

''Do you mind if I take a look at it for a moment?''

And Mizzella asked for it.

I know I've already escaped today, so I don't think I'm going to escape any further, but when I got back, Mizzella, who was either using our training room or sleeping in her room, wanted to watch me work today.

I'm alone in the basement in a secret room with a guy, is that okay?　I was worried, but I left the door to the room open for now, and since Wendy was coming to check on me on the way, I allowed Mizzella to do so if she was okay.

So smelting is a manual process as well...

Yeah. This one is more accurate. You can make it with your skills, but that one is related to your skill level and skill level. You need to adjust your magic power and concentrate for manual work as well, though.

Today I decided to make potions by hand since Miserra was going to watch them.

However, the lower potions are only (medium) and (large) because I made the recovery potions (medium) that I made by hand with a forgery (multi-copy) to reduce their effects.

''Yes but you don't look too tired.

Well, it's a process I'm used to. These are the potions we distribute to the Adventurer's Guild, and I'm in charge of most of the potions we distribute to that place.

'You have a steady stream of money.... Is that why you're living in such a big house?

'No, sure, the demand is high, but if anything, the potions are thin on the ground. Accessories are more lucrative.

Now take a silver ingot and divide it up and then make the design using hand forming (handing).

I made the outer three petals and the inner six petals separately and combined them.

Normally, the flower would face down, but I made it face up and decorated the inside with small jewels to complete the design.

Silver brooch with snowdrops for physical strength and agility.

So-so.

It's two abilities, but if it's a big rise and a medium rise, I'm not complaining.

''Huh........that's impressive. I guess it's called craftsmanship........

It's nothing serious. Yes, sir. Here's one for Mizella.

You can't get something so expensive...

That's okay. It's okay, you know. Plus, you'll have an easier time getting away with it because you'll be more capable.

It's a good deal more physical and agile than you might think.

I think White will be surprised by the change in his behavior tomorrow.

"....You want to let me go?　You don't want to let him go?

You're not gonna get away with that.

Even though it's an improvement in ability, it's still a big reflection of your original status, so I don't expect you to get away from White with this much.

''That's not even a response to your question...''

Hahaha. Come to think of it, if you get away with it. What are you going to do?　You don't have any money, and you don't have a job to fall back on, do you?

I don't think it's what you think.

'I'll think about it. If it's better for Mizera to run away, it seems like it can't be helped, but if it's not, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to give up.

For example, if Misela's parents are alive and their whereabouts are known I'll take them there.

Even so, if you can't prevent it from happening again, I won't even allow that to happen.

Why do you care so much about me?

That's because I want it to be so. I want Mizella to be happy. No, I want her to be happy and I'm going to be excessively nice to her.

Even if I don't want that?

Yeah. I've decided to do what I want. I've decided I want to do what I want and I'm going to make it happen.

Everyone wants to be happy.

If you're alive, you want to be happy.

No, precisely because happiness is different for everyone, wouldn't you want to be unhappy?

''You know, I've told you many times that I'm useless here. White is your bodyguard, Aina and the others are gathering materials, and Wendy-sama is supporting you and your life. Do you really think I can just sit back and do nothing?　Do you think you can say that makes you happy?

I don't think so. But just because you can't do it now doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future.　If you want to be useful, if you want to try something, I'll support you and help you. In the meantime, I'd appreciate it if you'd be willing to help me with the normal household chores, okay?

And the last time I helped, the three of us were terribly efficient.

Plus, I heard that you helped Wendy get the laundry in and that you were very helpful.

I don't care if it's a little bit of help. I'm not a useless person, you know.

'You know.... You saw me the other day, didn't you?　I can't even do normal household chores. I broke a plate and I'm a half-elf, you know?　I'm a half-elf with no skills to be desired and no growth potential.

Well, just make sure the plates are unbreakable. Then you can help me with the dishes.　Besides, we break plates at least once a day. It's not uncommon for us to make mistakes. And don't you think it's not fair to use the fact that you're half-elf as an excuse?

I'm not trying to be unfair.

That's not fair. That's not fair. Can't you see the skills?　No growth potential?　Isn't that right?　It's just hard to grow, and you can learn and grow your skills, right?

This is something I've read about in a lot of books.

It's true that they grow slowly but that doesn't mean they can't learn the skills.

In fact, there were some people who learned the skill in the past, or it should be safe to assume that they have some kind of skill as long as they live normally in other countries.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this. Unlike the elves, our magic power is also low. Even the skill level is slow to rise, and even the upper limit is...

Don't give up. Don't give up before you've had a chance to.

You don't understand. Alchemy is a talent that didn't come from a goddess and none of it is your power. What do you know about the life you're living now with the help of others?

I don't know, man. No chance?　No talent?　How can you know how someone would feel if they didn't even take action on that level?

If you feel the same way, you'll understand......... If you can't do something you don't have any talent for, keep doing it, if you can. You'll probably throw it away........ Because you have the alchemy, you can always escape to it. You said you were kind. Apparently I was wrong........

Okay. I don't care what I think. Either way, I assure you. You can't be happy unless you take the first step for yourself, Misela. Even I can't...

I cut off my words mid-sentence as Mizella backs out of the room.

While I regret that I've gotten unexpectedly heated up, I don't regret it.

What I said must not have been wrong, I believe me.

If you want to be useful, I think you have to find something that Miserra really wants to do.

But she doesn't want to take the step of being a half-elf.

In itself, I can't help but think that it's inevitable after hearing about her circumstances.

But I felt that Mizzella was the most........discriminating and giving up on being a half-elf.

But.........

'Uh ... too much ... definitely too much ... haaaaaa ...'

He sighed loudly with his head in his hands, wondering why he could only talk to a girl with a weak heart like that, until Wendy came to check on him.
