"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Trisha!!" Nvida broke the awkward silence with a panicked expression.
"What are you even saying?" She added as she looked at her with eyes in disbelief.
"Isn't that what you were trying to offer but can't because of your constitution?" Trisha, who seemed to not understand much, asked Nvida. Trisha was rather calm about it, and I don't think she is ignorant enough to not understand what we were talking about, either.
"THIS and THAT are different!!" Nvida shouted in a distressed voice as she watched Trisha standing there trying to make sense out of it.
Well. It is really a pity, but I guess I should limit my lust and not think from my crotch this time.
"I will explain for you, but that will be extra charges," I spoke, catching the attention of the girls around.
"Trisha. Don't mind, but Elves are honestly a selfish race. They are too hell bent on keeping up with their rules. I don't know how much you know about it, but outsiders, and even most elves, are forbidden to meet the High Elves."
And from there, I began explaining in detail about the elves.
Ironic that I was teaching a High Elf about the elves. Ignorant and overcautious as the elves are, it's not much of a surprise that they hide things, even from their elders and leaders.
To keep it simple, Elves aren't a white race, with only pure and humble nature. In fact, they are more cunning than most races. But they do have to maintain the facade.
And they have certain 'laws' and 'rules' that all elves must follow for 'Being pure.' It's a forced concept that even prevents racial marriages or being friends with another race if you are an elf at a higher position.
'And honestly, that's not even the Jist of it,' I sighed as I told Trisha how the entire elf kingdom would come to circumcise me. And that is, if I even think about doing something with her.
"It will be no less than a minor war with me and the elves." I looked at Trisha with a modest smile. It was regrettable, but the payment was not worth it.
'At least not now,' I smiled on the inside as I jolted down the fact that I can, in fact, do Trisha with an ample amount of planning.
"Is that why they never let me meet my friend after he grew up?" Her eyes widened in realization as she reflected on my words. Perhaps an old incident?
"Apologies that you have to witness all this. But may I ask you if you know a way for me to not forget about it? I have to pay back those manipulators."
'We are going off topic, huh? It's nice and all, but I didn't come here for this,' I thought as I opened the [System] and.
[Are you sure you want to [Load] save point?]
[Loading Save Point!]
[Loading Complete!]
Repeating everything to the point, we once again reached the situation where I began explaining about the Elves and their customs. But rather than telling everything to the point, I just spoke that,
"Elves consider their High Elves quite sacred. It would be like committing a taboo if I even touch you. Not something that I would like to happen, to be honest."
While it wasn't much, I got to know that if I needed to get Trisha on my side, all I needed to do was tell her the truth. Manipulating her from there would be a piece of cake.
'And also that... Nvida is a bigger b*tch that I thought she was.' I looked at her for a few moments as she was explaining to Trisha how I was right.
"Well. If that doesn't work, then is there anything else that we can give you?" Trisha seemed rather concerned about it. Seems like she was really sincere about saving the forest.
I gave it a bit of a thought before I recalled something important. It wasn't from Trisha, but Nvida. Though I did not know if this wish was going to be fulfilled or not.
"Actually, there is something you can give me... I want to borrow the forest," I said as I observed her.
