As we reached the village where the elves live in the Sylphide territory, we were in admiration of its view.
「As expected of elves. They use Spirit magic for agriculture.」 「…… Indeed. I was born and raised in the royal capital, so I am not too well informed, but it is common practice for elves to water and harvest with Spirit magic.」
The Sylphide household was granted territory after Sophia had become a slave. Even though the village is two small territories, but as far as we could see, it seems the territory is being managed well. The field crops are plentiful, the golden wheat fields bathing in the sunlight were swaying from the wind. It wasn’t just wheat fields inside the village; There were various crops and fruit trees being cultivated. Sophia said that, many crops are harvested quickly with the help of the spirits.
While I was brooding, Sophia pointed to one building.
「…… That is likely the mansion of the Lord.」
That 3-story building was certainly larger than the surrounding houses; It was at a level that could barely be called a mansion. If I had to judge from the complicated expression on Sophia’s face, it was likely that this mansion they’re living in had fallen considerably in rank compared to the one they lived in at the royal capital.
The carriage pulled by Tsubaki slowly advanced towards the Feudal Lord’s mansion. It’s a secret that, as we drew closer and examined the mansion, I thought that our mansion in Volton was much bigger.
「………… Is it a bit antiquated?」 「…… It was built approximately 50 years ago, however it does not seem as though the maintenance on it had been scrupulous.」
When we got within the vicinity of the Feudal Lord’s mansion, we discovered that the building had shown its age considerably. This might have been because, in addition to his original job as the lord of the land, the Feudal Lord had to do farmwork and monster subjugation himself,
「Ah, someone came out. Could they be Sophia’s mother and father?」 「!, …………………………」
Whether or not it was because they noticed a carriage approaching, a pair of elves, a man and a woman, came out of the mansion. As it might be expected of an elf, seeing the face of the woman, I would have believed it if she said she was Sophia’s sister. It’s unquestionable that they are related to Sophia, and they were, without a doubt, Sophia’s parents.
「「Sophia!」」
The male and female elves that came out of the mansion were calling out Sophia’s name and rushing over. Sophia jumped down from the coachman’s seat, running to the pair.
「Father! Mother!」
Gasshi – The trio embraced each other tightly.
