CH 3

The scenery changes in an instant and we arrive at the inn.

Transfer ball.

Having a transfer ball means that you can warp to the blue ball by breaking the red ball at a distance.

The drawbacks are that it can only be used once and that there can be no more than one blue ball, the counterpart, in the world.

Or rather, if you make two or more, you will not be able to specify the destination and it will be difficult.

If someone had moved or thrown it away at the inn, I’d probably have died.

I’m glad it worked.

“Ah, ah, that …”

“Oh no, don’t force yourself to talk. Can you drink this for the time being?”

That said to the elf girl, I passed her the potion.

It’s a valuable recovery medicine that I brought to show the king, but it can’t be helped.

“Y-yes···”

She quickly carried the bottle to her mouth.

(Don’t break it, it’s precious …)

Whether she knows my thoughts or not, she politely drinks.

And she suddenly opened her eyes frighteningly wide …

“Ahhhh”

A terrified scream echoed.

“Do your best, please bear with me !!”

She manages to suppress her scream and then I offer support to her who is kicking and foaming from the mouth.

“What happened !?”

The inn manager came to the front of the room and opened the door without consent.

I forgot to lock the door when I left earlier…!

“What the heck is that … It’s nice to have fun with an elf, but be a little more careful about your surroundings …”

“No, we aren’t..!”

“Excuse me, I’ll leave now but be quieter.”

“Hey !”

“Ah, ah, ah!”

“It hurts! Make it stop!”

Certainly, elf slavery is more common then I thought.

After all, is an elf slave such a common existence for adults?

After a short while the inn lights went out, the girl finally calmed down and took a sigh of relief and fell asleep.

I’m feeling shabby. Physically and mentally.

For the time being, I laid the girl who fell asleep on the bed first, then took a shower and decided to sleep at the desk in the room.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

The next day, it was me who woke up first.

In the first place, I’ve been absorbed in research so far, so it was like I didn’t have time to sleep, and I’ve become that kind of sleeper.

After stretching lightly, I approach the girl who sleeps comfortably and touch her hair.

“It’s really beautiful hair …. Why is this happening when it’s almost the same as humans? Why …”

Apparently it happened with those words.

After turning over lightly and turning to me, her eyes gradually opened and look at me.

“Where..?”

“Did you wake up finally?”

It seems that her consciousness has finally returned and her eyes open.

After that, she jumped up like a surprised cat and sat down in front of me.

“I’m sorry! Please forgive me for getting up later than my Master!”

“I’m sorry, so please punish me …!”

And what kind of treatment did her former Master do to this child?

What was he doing to this child who would have suffered from an unknown illness?

“Okay, I’m on your side. You see, your wounds and illness are healed.”

“Huh..?”

She looks over her arms and legs with an unbelieving face.

The beautiful skin is no longer scratched.

Of course, the sickness has disappeared.

“Is that …?”

“Oh, so I’m not afraid of anything anymore regarding your illness.”

She has begun to shed tears.

I was a little shy and decided to wait until she stopped crying.

＊＊＊＊＊

“Thank you very much. Please tell me anything you need from now on.”

When she finally finished crying, she suddenly stared at me.

My hair is dirty and I don’t know long it’s been since I changed.

It’s no exaggeration to say that her beauty stands out because of that.

I finally become uncomfortable enough with the staring to ask why she was staring.

“No, nothing!”

She was blushing and she turned her head downward.

“If my Master really wants, my body …”

“No. But we need to get you clothes today if you are to serve me.”

I decided to take a stern tone because she seemed like she would respond best to that even though I was really blushing. I turned my head so she couldn’t tell.

“Understood.”

“You must first have a name. What is your name?”

“… I almost died in that war. I don’t want to remember that. Today, thanks to my Master, I was reborn, so please call me as you like.”

“Well … then, how about Vell?”

“I like it! What’s my Masters name?”

“It’s Ficelle. Nice to meet you.”

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

I had her hair cut at a beauty shop in the city and bought clothing at a mid level store.

“How would you like her hair cut, sir?”

“However she wants.”

Vell pointed at a drawing on the list of haircuts she could get.

After I finished choosing clothes at the clothing store, I was hungry because it was already past noon.

“Vell, are you hungry?”

“A little.

“Master, what’s that? …”

“A coffee shop. Ahahahaha. It’s been a while since I’ve been walking around like this, maybe I’ll take a break.”

I blush, pulling Vell’s hand and entering the coffee shop.

It’s like when I was pulled by Mr. Gergu in the back alley yesterday.

So I decided to have a little late lunch.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

“Eat more.”

Even after entering the store, she said “I’m okay”, so I had no choice but to let her eat rice in the form of an order.

“Yeah, eat more and more”

After that, I finally bring the sandwich I ordered to my mouth.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget her happy face after a bite.

I decided to ask her a lot when I took a break while eating finish the sandwich I ordered.

“It’s okay to talk while eating, so I have a few questions to ask.”

“Whatever you wish to know Master.”

With that said, Vell paused her eating and looks at me.

“I walked around the city together today … Is it unusual for me to have a relationship like this with someone like Vell and me?”

Yes, whether you go to a clothing store or a beauty shop or eat at a coffee shop like this, the clerk first makes a face like “What? To this girl?”

And as I found out by walking around the city today, the male elf is often behind as an escort, but no one was walking with the female elf.

On the contrary, the escorts often covered their faces with masks and we weren’t sure if they were men or women.

That’s why I kept being seen with strange eyes today.

Even now, I see customers around me with staring eyes.

“Yes. Basically, elves are bought for a lot of money, so you can’t buy many people. I’d say that women elves are usually bought by aristocrats just for sexual desires.”

“Is that so …”

“Men’s elves tend to do hard work for little to no wages. When it comes to buying an elf with the ability to escort, it’s expensive.”

I came here to study school life, and after graduating, I started to stay at home.

I seem to be missing out on some knowledge.

Apparently the elves themselves have given up and accepted.

What this country should be, our position.

Then I’ll follow, in my own way.

“If you eat it, Vell should go back to the inn first. Ah, but I’m a little worried, so I’ll follow you.”

“You think I’ll run away?”

“No, I’m not worried about that. If there was a kidnapping on the way …

“… Isn’t Ficelle really kind? Does that mean Ficelle will go somewhere after this?”

“Yeah. I’m going to achieve the goal I had for awhile.”
