Chapter 50: They might spend the night there

Selens group isnt back yet?

Selen and her hunting group had gone out to hunt but still werent back yet. The days have been getting shorter recently, so it would be dark before long.

I hope theyre alright.

The hunting group has grown in number, so I was fairly certain they were running late for no real reasonhowever, when evening came and the surroundings became totally dark, I couldnt help but be anxious.

So, when Satin reported that the hunters have returned, I became somewhat relieved. His next words made me worry again though.

((They say only about a third of them are here))

((Did something happen??))

I hurried toward the northern gate, the gate closest to the forest.

Upon arriving, I did a cursory look. I failed to find Selen.

I subconsciously went near Balrath-san who was in the vanguard.

W-what happened!? Wheres Selen and the rest

Ahh, sorry for worrying you, village chief. Theyre all alright. Of course, that goes for Captain Selen too.

Balrath-sans words allowed me to let out a sigh of relief.

If thats the case, where are the others?

Well

One of the elves stepped forward and started talking.

It was my first time to talk to an elf, so I was nervous. Unfortunately, that made me reply in a high-pitched voice.

My name is Philianius Mel Rebore Leonius Serenelare.

So long! Theres no way Im going to remember that!

I realize its long, so please call me Philia.

Oh thank goodness.

Philia-san, now that I can remember.

They looked like warriors.

They wore leather armor and had bows hanging on their backs.

Much like what I was told, elves were indeed beautiful. Even among them though, Philia-sans elegance, her pretty eyebrows, her height, her coolness, all of it combined made her something else.

We are deeply indebted to your villagers. On behalf of our leader, weve come here to give our thanks to you.

I see. I appreciate you going to the trouble. We dont have much in this village, but please make yourselves feel at home.

Like that, I showed around the village the very first elves I met.

TL note: Yeah, I just gave up on that name.
