261 Lesson 260

"Well, can I come in and talk to you?

"Oh, that's right. What do you mean you came all this way? If Lord Sorta asks, I'll ask you most of it."

Elbus is pleased that Aotearoa came all the way here, and rides himself out and asks questions.

"It's not like I'm directly this way, but a dwarf has been pushing me to the city of Tula for a while. I don't know why I came, but he came dressed up, and he doesn't have anything to ID him."

After listening to Aotearoa, Elbas looks different and harsh than the favorable look on his face earlier.

"So, what do you want me to do?

"It would be the best result if you would consider accepting dwarves. If that doesn't work, prepare a place where you can live for a certain period of time until you find your next settlement. If that doesn't work either, some kind of assistance or something."

Elbus' expression had become even more difficult in a case where he was asked to make a decision as a lord.

"... Lord Sorta brings a rather difficult case. Why did Lord Sota put his shoulder in that dwarf?

"You know the dwarves live in many settlements, don't you?

Elbas nods at Aotearoa's words. This was something I knew as a natural story if I lived in this world.

"It seems that all the inhabitants of one of those settlements came to Toula because something happened. And the chief of the settlement is a little acquainted, so he asked me to come. And the guards at the city entrance asked me to do something about it..."

Elbas, listening to Aotearoa and understanding the situation, was meditating his eyes and looking to heaven.

"I'm sorry. Bring me a nasty case, and if you can't, I hope not. I'll do everything I can... but luckily I have some loose ends in my money."

That's what they said. Elbus lost his shoulder strength and leaned against the couch.

"That's not how Lord Sorta tells me I'm not going to do anything... let me think about it for a second, and I'll come to a conclusion tomorrow"

"I'm still having you waiting in front of the city, what do you do with that?

I just stretched it out tomorrow and nothing will be done to respond to the dwarf I'm pushing at this hour right now. For this reason, Aeta confirmed her view as the current lord.

"Well... you can't just leave me out of town"

Elbus contemplates with his hands on his chin, and the room quiets.

"Can't you be my uncle or something? Master Sota and all the dwarves must be in trouble, right?

The words of her pleading grandson, Elina, were more effective than anything else for Elbas.

"Hmm, that's not what Elina said..."

Elbas puts his arms together and wonders if there are any ideas.

"... hey, I have one suggestion to make"

Erbus looks open and turns his gaze in an attempt to reach Aotearoa's help boat.

"Now the dwarves are waiting where they left the gates of Thura. Of course it's in an unobstructed position. I want the land there to be opened up as their inn tonight. I'll take care of the accommodation."

"I appreciate the offer..."

Aotearoa's words were a boat to Elbas to cross, but he still had resistance to throwing round at him, who could be considered an adventurer as lord of the city of Toula.

"Never mind, I'm not doing it for you. I'll just do it for someone I know. In the meantime, let me get this over with because it's going to be ready now."

When Aeta says so blinkingly, he finds that it is not obvious to discuss the matter as it is now, he takes a seat. Deena, who was silently watching what happened, also decides that the discussion is over, followed by standing up.

"Hey, give me a minute"

"Sorry, I'll let you go now. I hope you can think of some way to handle this by tomorrow."

Erbus tried to pull them off, but Aotearoa leaves the room with only flickering hands without stopping.

"Dear Sorta, I'll send it to you!

Elina was lost for a moment as to which to choose, and once she saw Elbus, she chose to drop him off.

Having seen his grandson calling early enough, Elbas did not dare join in the drop-off to cool off his head once, but was lagging behind in his thoughts while sitting on the couch.

"Dear Sorta, I'm sorry. My uncle thinks a lot of things..."

When I reached the front door of the house, Elina, who seemed sorry, carefully bowed her head.

"It's not about Elina apologizing. It's not about Erbus apologizing, of course. Rather, as a lord, it's a natural reaction, just because I or Elina said so, and if you do whatever you want, I doubt my qualities as a lord."

Aotea shrugged her shoulders and followed Elbas, but she had a slightly sad look on Ellina that she figured it all out.

"I have something to do. Elbus is Elbus, think about what you can do after tomorrow. You just have to do what each of us can do."

Gently stroking Elina's head, a little nagging, Ethereum left the lord's hall behind.

"Mr. Elina, it's okay. Sota and the two lords will do something about it."

When Deena stroked and smiled at Elina's head to reassure her, too, it followed Ethereum.

"Oh, thank you"

Feeling the gentle warmth given by each hand, Elina waved her hands off loudly as she thanked the two of them.

Deena asks questions after a short walk out of the mansion.

"Mr. Sota, what are you guys going to do with the facilities you're all off to?

"Um, I'm thinking about building something like a simple cabin for now... because I'm gonna need a futon and a blanket, so can Deena have that for a number of people?

"Of course!

Deena was pleased that Aotearoa relied on her and replied out loud.

"You're a mess before then... you can't fight when you're hungry. We'll have lunch at Gordon's, and we'll get to work when we're done."

"Right, that's right, I'm hungry too"

The two of them, who had been reading and fishing for books without taking a break in the morning, were still feeling hungry enough that they were about to get hungry, so they headed straight to the Gordon's store with their feet.
