As the sun was setting over the mountains, the Buitor with us on board landed at the airport built in the elven village.
"Oh, Allen-san! Welcome….to…the….eh? Human?"
"Sheryl Laura-sama?"
The elves who came to greet us at the airport looked confused when they saw Sheryl Laura-san wrapped up in ropes and Anna with me.
"Ahaha, A lot of things happened, and the situation became like this."
I try to deceive them by saying that as I untie Sheryl Laura's rope.
"See, Sheryl Laura-san, we're already on the ground."
"Ugh, I don't want to hang in the air anymore!"
Yeah, as expected, hanging in the air was pitiful. That's why I couldn't let Anna hang in midair…..
As I looked at her, Sheryl Laura-san managed to stand up and walked towards the village by herself.
"Let's go, Anna-sama."
I lend a hand to Anna to help her stand up.
"A-Allen-san? Who is that human?"
"She's Lady Anastasia, my–"
"Oh, I see, I see. You're already at that age, aren't you, Allen-san? As expected, humans grow up so quickly. Still, I'll get Her Majesty's permission, okay?"
Apparently, he resolved it before I could finish my saying.
"Yeah, I know. I'm on my way to Her Majesty's place."
After saying that, I took stiff-faced Anna's hand, nodded, and led her into the village.
"Oh, it's Allen!"
"Huh? There seems to be a stranger with him, see?"
"Is it okay?"
"Bringing her to the summer festival, is it that kind of relation?"
I knew all the elves in the village, so they didn't say anything when I walked by. But, as expected, they seemed to be wary of Anna.
I greeted them appropriately and walked towards Her Majesty's house as the sunset in the village.
＊＊＊＊
"Allen-sama, it seems Shery has forcibly made a request. I'm sorry for that. Also, thank you very much for helping her."
"Oh no, me too. I'm sorry for hanging Sheryl Laura-san in the air like that."
When we had apologized to each other, Her Majesty turned her attention to Anna.
"So, who's this girl?"
"Yes, let me introduce her. She is lady Anastasia Clynel von Ramslett, my……precious lady."
The moment I said that I heard Anna gulp.
"I see, this person is Allen-sama's…."
The queen looked at Anna unkindly with an evaluating look.
"Anna-sama, She is this elf village's Queen."
"I am Anastasia, daughter of the Duke of Ramslett. It is an honour to meet you, Your Majesty."
Anna makes a graceful gesture of ladylike courtesy.
"Fufu, I see. Anastasia-san is a young lady from a good place. Then, do you understand why the elf village is closed?"
"……Yes"
"I see. Then knowing that, why did you decide to come here with Allen-sama, Anastasia-san?"
"Well, that is….. I….."
After saying that, Anna face downward.
"Allen-sama, could you give us a moment, please?"
"Okay, then Anna-sama, I'll be outside."
When I was told that, I left the room. Immediately after that, pervert and Miri-chan came towards me.
"Allen!"
While saying that, she lunged at me, and I caught her and picked her up. By the way, when I met her four years ago, she was already about three or four years old, and even now, she looks almost exactly the same, only a little bit bigger.
Normally, elves grow at the same rate as humans until they are about ten years old, but Miri-chan has barely grown at all. And the reason for that is this pervert.
It seems that because she made a contract with this pervert, Miri-chans's existence has become closer to that of the pervert's existence, or so I've heard. It is said that because of this her life span as an elf, which is normally 500 to 1,000 years, will be extended to 10,000 to 100,000 years.
I'm not sure about it, because there were no such facts in the game, but it seems to be a happy thing for the elves. As proof of this, Her Majesty, Sheryl Laura-san, and everyone else in the village was overjoyed and celebrated for Miri-chan.
I thought, "What a horrible thing happened," but I didn't interfere, because I think it wasn't right to say anything about the elves based on human values.
However, as a result of such an extended lifespan, the growth of the body also slows down by that much……
I guess that's what this pervert wanted all along.
Is it okay for the Spirit of Light to be such a lousy and greedy person?
"Allen-shi, long time no see!"
"You're still as perverted as ever."
"Allen-shi also as sarcastic as ever."
"Not as much as you."
"Oops"
If this is how a spirit of light is, then it's the end of the world.
"I heard something about Allen-shi bringing his wife here. What did you like about her?"
"Eh? Hmm, well, personality?"
"I'm looking forward to seeing the little girl with a good personality that Allen-shi admits! Why don't you show her soon?"
"….If I show her to you, Anna will get tainted."
"Mmmm, is she such a cute little girl, huh? As expected of Allen-shi, a comrade I recognize."
"Anna is not a little girl. And don't you dare treat me like a comrade! I don't understand a single bit of your hobby."
"Don't be shy! That way of admiring my Miri-tan, no matter what you think, is of a comrade of mine."
No. No matter how you look at it, isn't it adorable to spoil a little girl like her?
"Hey, hug me."
"Ah, yes, yes."
I put her down once. But when she asked me to hold her again, I picked her up again.
"There you go, debunked!"
"You're still annoying as hell."
I experienced the utter humiliation of being smirked at by this pervert.
