Volume 7 - CH 4.7

Part 7

The moon was suspended in the sky.

Having turned into night, Rem and the others were finally brought along.

Looking exhausted, Rem dropped her shoulders. Rose was expressionless as usual, but her maid clothes were torn even more.

As for Rafleisha, although she was composed, she was surrounded by Elves with their bows turned towards her.

Shera hurriedly ran over.

So as to protect her from the Elves, she spread out both arms and became a shield.

「What are you doing!?」

「It, it’s dangerous, Shera-sama! That person, she is a Dark Elf!」

「She is a fellow Elf! She’s a companion!」

「Did you say companion!?」

The soldiers went into an uproar.

Hearing the uproar, the Queen expressly came over.

「Shera’s company, is a Dark Elf?」

Rafleisha courteously made a bow.

「Good day to you. It has been a while.」

「You are!? Rafleisha S Orangewood……Why, are you here……!?」

The Queen’s voice trembled.

They had expected this, but it wasn’t a favorable reaction.

Maybe because Rafleisha prepared for this, she wasn’t agitated at all.

「Hohoho……Have you not heard of the situation yet? Your daughter’s life risking oath──It would be nice if it were carried out.」

That’s right. So she kept composed since she had an absolute trump card.

The Queen’s expression became clouded.

「Shera, I have to talk with you.」

After that──

Diablo’s group was given a building to borrow.

It wasn’t a huge tree, but a residence made of brick that was built normally on the ground.

It was a guest house meant for when races other than Elves came to visit, and was made following the Lifelia Kingdom’s style.

However, being a country that was within a forest, there weren’t any candlesticks that used fire. A chandelier that used precious stones that dimly shined was hung from the ceiling.

The room’s width wasn’t all that different from that of a typical inn, and there were only two private rooms. It was like there was a room for the master’s use and a room for the servants’ use.

Diablo sat down on a sofa in the common room.

「Hmph……For a guest house of a whole country, it is somewhat small.」

Compared to his own room in his original world, it was outrageously spacious though.

「……That, probably just show how rare guests are.」

Rem sat down on the sofa opposite of him, and collapsed sideways just like that. Going *Haa～*, she breathed out.

Being an experienced Adventurer, as well as a Pantherian, she had more stamina than others. It was rare for her to be exhausted.

「It seems that you all had gotten quite lost, didn’t you?」
