Chapter 366

Arwell’s reaction after the impactful meeting was extremely ordinary.

Leaving behind Celebian, who refused to come in, saying he would step aside, what was waiting for me inside the house after receiving Mr. Arwell’s active guidance was his family, who noticed my visit in a moment and started preparing things in a hurry.

Seeing that, I felt very fortunate that Mr. Arwell came out first. If they had come out at the same time, it would have been hard for me to figure out who was the mother and who was the father.

“I didn’t prepare in advance because I don’t know when your prayers will end. Let’s sit down for a while.”

“Ah, yes...”

Despite that, the naturally prepared food and tea cups were being laid out on the table. The village chief also said they were preparing something, and since it was around evening, it was highly likely that it was preparing a meal... but I wasn’t in the mood to refuse, so I decided to keep my mouth shut.

Of course, that didn’t mean there was an awkward silence until the preparations were all over. Time passed pretty quickly just by answering various things to Mr. Arwell who asked how Asilie was doing.

The important things he wanted to ask after everyone sat down were insignificant and very clichéd. Do you eat, do you look good, do you not get sick, etc. Even if they are of such a different race, in the end, the other families who have finished all the preparations sit around the table and participate in the conversation while feeling that the heart of the parents is there.

In fact, since Asilie, who can be said to be the link in the relationship, was not present, the conversation did not go smoothly. Unlike Arwell, who started out with an active hug, the other family members had to suffer from the awkwardness of meeting each other for the first time.

While I was answering them by organizing the things I had been through with Asilie, I learned that Asilie’s mother’s name was Himir and that her two twin brothers’ names were Amil and Himil. And I managed to find out that the name of the youngest sister, who is relatively the youngest, is Amie.

Unlike trying to show a calm attitude, it happened because everyone was in a hurry to ask questions because they were not in a hurry.

It was only after I entered a lull in answering such a barrage of crazy questions that I also learned that Asilier’s name was changed after becoming a high elf.

“Originally, it was Arie. It was already several decades ago, so I’m more familiar with Asilier now.”

It seems to be a similar concept to some kind of baptismal name, but it is said that it is said that they do not know what meaning and form it has because it is the priests who make the name. In some cases, the name changes altogether, but their impression was that it was good because it was comfortable because it was at the level of adding an extra ‘thread’ to the original name.

“When I heard the story that I was captured, my eyes were really dark... but it’s clear that Asha is looking after me.”

“That’s right. Who would have known that it wasn’t just safe, and that I would even bring a husband?”

The two brothers, relieved by the news that Asilie was doing well, relaxed from their tense postures with smiles of relief. It was the same with my parents, and the youngest Amie-san, who had been as quiet as possible up until now, taking advantage of the momentary silence that had been created, was restless and was only looking for an opportunity to ask a question.

“By the way, how did you meet your sister?”

A question that can be a little dizzying.

“That... I came across a connection in the village by chance when I was young and ended up saving Asilie from being captured by thieves. In return, I decided to learn the knowledge I needed.”

“Knowledge, so you’re a person without greed? So did your sister fall for you?”

not old people However, even Celebian, who must have lived a long time, was in his early thirties at most, with no wrinkles on his face, while the village chief looked well over 50 in terms of human beings.

Still, the handsome features didn’t go anywhere, but I didn’t have any information about how long an elf would have to live to grow old, so my brain stopped a bit. While I was fooling around like that, the village chief held out his hand first while maintaining a benevolent smile.

“My name is Lavery, the village chief. Nice to meet you.”

“My name is Eldmia. Thank you for your hospitality...”

“How can I neglect a hero who killed one of our troublesome ear hunters? I got help from some women in the village who are cooking for today. I hope the food will suit your taste.”

As the village chief naturally suggested a seat next to him, he sat down, and Celebian also went to the seat opposite the village chief and pulled out a chair. During a brief formal greeting with the village chief, the food served on the table was certainly appetizing.

Just as Asilie did and her family did, there was no shortage of meat on the table. Rather, the vegetables and meat were mixed in various ways, and the nutritional balance seemed very good. The meal went very satisfactorily, as it was not said that he had worked hard on cooking after coating it with spices.

“While you were praying in the territory of the World Tree, I heard the rough story through Celebian. Asili was a formidable heroine, but you are even more amazing.”

Well, there’s a story about Asillie’s personality here too. Apparently, during the journey after being captured by the elven hunters, Asilie’s personality changed a lot.

I couldn’t find the right words to say in front of an old man who must have lived a far-flung life, so I just replied with a smile, and the village chief continued.

“The first time I decided to help you was just a feeling of repaying my debt to Asillie. You’ve heard about her neutralizing a group of hunters that have been harassing this area, right?”

“Yes, I heard you were caught in the process.”

“At the time, there were people who said that he did it because he couldn’t stand his anger, but there was no disagreement that that action was a noble sacrifice for everyone. Because of that, we were able to send a search party with Celebians at the head, but... you’re probably the same If I had brought , the eyes of about half of them wouldn’t have been so nice.”

Did you say that Celebians are also in an environment that requires a lot of effort to have a neutral perspective in their first meeting?

“Since the elven hunters have done it, I think it can be done.”

“Heh heh, your young friend is even considerate. Compared to that, we young people are sometimes narrow-minded, so I won...”

Saying that and clicking his tongue as if he was pathetic, he was truly an old man.

“But, since you killed the Ear Hunters, we were helped in the end. Not only our tribe, but all the elves in the area are grateful to you. So, to show their sincerity, they wanted to give you a gift.”

“A gift...?”

I glanced at Celebian, but he only smiled and shrugged, as if he already knew. Upon hearing this, I looked at the village chief again, and the village chief gave an uncharacteristically humorous smile and said,

“So, do you have any plans to get a piece of armor?”
