Chapter 1974: Neo Baby Castella Blend 25

After having coffee at Amel-san's house, I was told that, since I was here, she would show me around the Wingeds' village. I had only seen the place from the air before, so I was a bit interested.

[But my sworn friend, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but the majority of the Wingeds see you as an exalted being who received the Blessing of the God of Creation Shallow Vernal-sama, and might treat you as if you were the Gods' Divine Messenger. My sworn friend might not feel pleasant under such attention, but please understand that they held no ill intent.]

[Yes, it's alright. Thank you for worrying about me.]

[Unn...... Oh, but since you're with me, I don't think they'll approach you just because they see you as an exalted being.]

Well, to be honest, I'm already somewhat used to being treated like that from how people treated me in Rigforesia, so it's fine, but Amel-san seems quite concerned about me.

Since Amel-san is the only Special Individual Winged and one of the few with the strength on the level of a Peerage Holder in the Human Realm, she might be feeling concerned about the various gazes around.

In fact, she seemed very excited that I came to visit and mentioned how this was like the first time she's invited a friend to her home, so it seems she had been treated specially in a different sense than persecution.

[I'm not too bothered about it, so don't worry. Rather than that, I'm looking forward to walking around with you, Amel-san.]

[Ah, unn! I also have many places I want to show my swo——— Hrnn!? As expected of my sworn friend, always calm and composed...... Well then, let's depart at once!]

Feeling as if I'm seeing the phantom of a puppy wagging its tail behind her, with a face full of joy, Amel-san moved behind me. The Wingeds' village has no bridges or suitable infrastructure for walking, so it's necessary for one to fly. Since I can’t fly, Amel-san would carry me.

In reality, with Amel-san’s flying speed, traveling to a nearby town would be instantaneous, so it likely isn’t much of a hassle.

[How should I say this...... It seems that the Wingeds have a lot of peculiar ways of thinking.]

[Fufu, you could say they're quite set in their way. Well, we do have many good points as well...... Ah, my sworn friend! There are many shops around here that sell sundries and small articles.]

[Small articles? Like the accessories sold by the Wingeds?]

[No, people who come here to shop are mostly part of the tribe. Those accessories are sold to other species, so you won't find them in the village shops. Items recognized as "Wingeds' Specialties" are sold at the few places we have contact with outside.]

[I see.]

Now that she mentioned it, that certainly makes sense. According to Lilia-san, getting the Wingeds' specialties requires connections, but if you look at it the other way, if you have those connections, you can purchase those. Since Amel-san mentioned sending someone to negotiate with Lilia-san, it seems there are people handling transactions with outsiders.

However, considering the unique things around, from the shapes of the houses to their culture, exploring the Wingeds' village like this feels quite refreshing and enjoyable......

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [As expected of the man who is acquainted with almost all of the world's Top Authorities and known as "The Hero of the Elves" and "World's Singularity"...... Just from the look on his face, you could tell he's no ordinary guy. In fact, he doesn't seem to care at all about being considered divine.]
