Some days later, I received another call and went to Theodore's villa.

　The purpose, of course, is to meet with someone who wants to see me.

　Garnett is also accompanying me to the villa this time.

　The concern that my identity will be exposed has already been resolved.
　I've already explained beforehand that the Silver Wing Knights have been secretly dispatching Knight Garnett as a guard.

　Since there didn't seem to be any memories left of their face-to-face meetings in childhood, it would be enough to ride in as a knight with impunity.

''Even so, who on earth would want to go out of their way to meet me?

　While waiting in the adjoining room for the preparations in the parlor to be finished, I reiterate my now-obvious question.

　According to the servant who brought this matter to me, they are in a very high position, so there is no doubt that they are in a very high position.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.　No, then it's quicker to go through His Majesty and the Royal Court: ...... If you know him personally, you don't have to hide your identity by saying you're in a bad position or something: ......

　The more I think about it, the more I can't help but think that things are getting outrageous.

"...... Garnett, what do you think ...... hey, are you okay?

　As soon as I casually glanced at Garnett next to her, I couldn't help but choke on my words.

　Garnett's eyebrows are deeply furrowed and her face is twisted in some kind of thought.

　Anyone can't help but wonder, 'What on earth has happened?

I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. ...... I'll spit on the white wolf while I'm at it or not.
'Do you think you're overthinking this?　A man of high rank would at least know about that night party in the example.
I mean, he'll probably try to tear up the paper in his grasp. I have an idea of the people who might do it.

　Clearly, Garnett is not here - in fact, he has a threatening look in his eyes for someone who is not even sure he's really here.

　It's easy to cut off what's silly, but it's also not a good idea to downplay Garnett's feelings, who is seriously wary of it.

'Don't worry. Do I seem like the kind of guy who would change his mind?

　We were about to make a few more persuasions when there was a knock on the door of the room and Maria's voice calling us.

'Luke-sama, Garnet-sama. Thank you for your patience. Master Theodore and your guests are ready to go. Please join us in the parlor.
...... Okay, I understand. I'm on my way.

　It can't be helped, appeasing Garnett will have to be put off for now.

　If we meet with him in person and find out that he's on a completely different matter, I'm sure he'll improve his mood right away.

　If it is indeed the case that he or she has a problem with that, then ...... we'll figure out what to do with it when the time comes.

'Mr. Theodore, Mr. Eil. Excuse me. I have a guest for you.

　Maria opens the door to the parlor in a reverent manner and invites us into it.

　My eyes widened in surprise the moment I caught sight of the figure sitting in the elegant chair in front, and Garnett went rigid as the caution he'd shown earlier was erased.

　All of my imagination and Garnett's concerns were completely off.

　The person(s) who was there were the human(s), the demon(s), and the demon(s), the demon(s), the demon(s), the demon(s).

You're welcome. Let me introduce you to Senator Eir of the Northern Tree Sea Union.
Nice to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you.

　White skin of a fundamentally different shade from that of humans.
　Hair that shines as if it were braided with sunlight.
　And long, pointy ears extending from the sides of his face - and

...... I didn't expect the elves to call me. I never dreamed of that.

　Barely squeezing out the words, Maria urged me to sit down in the seat across from them.

　Elves - a race that has built a particularly advanced civilization among the intelligent race of demons that inhabit the interior of the dungeon.

　To begin with, the Demon King Gandalf and the Demon King's Army's race, the Dark Elves, were named as 'Dark Elves' and 'Evil Elves' in reference to Elves like her.

　If there were no mere elves, then the name 'Dark Elf' would not be able to exist.

I never thought I'd have the opportunity to go to earth. I'm sure the Senate's orders were unavoidable, but ...... this town is a nice place. There is a lot of greenery and clean water.

　The elf, who was introduced as Senator Eil, smiled as he said that.

　His too evenly proportioned face was, on the contrary, inhuman, and made me feel like I was talking to a painting of an ideal beauty.

　To be honest, it didn't stimulate any feelings of admiration or lust in me as a member of the opposite s*x, which was surprisingly uninspired.

　If I were to dare to describe a close emotion, I would say that the only thing that fills my heart is the surprise that the beautiful nature that I would normally see at the end of my adventure suddenly and without warning spread out before my eyes.

　Garnett seemed to be in the same mood, and her head was filled with wonder, and she was completely drained of her toxicity.

　I took a deep breath and made an effort to calm my mind, and then tried again to move on with the story.

''You mentioned the Northern Tree Sea Coalition ....... I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge. May I confirm that my knowledge is correct?

　Eil nodded that he didn't care.

　I could feel a wave of magic power tingling on my skin.
　It wasn't hostile and intimidating, but rather, it must have a huge amount of magical power contained within it, so much so that even if it was just there and breathing, it would affect the people around it.

　Now that I think about it, I remembered the same feeling when I confronted the Demon King Gandalf and the Four Demon Generals.

　I wasn't clearly aware of it at that time, though, because I also had goose bumps for martial and spiritual reasons.

''In the Westland continent, the area of about ten percent that has not been incorporated into the Westland Kingdom's version of ...... one of those areas was the Northern Tree Sea, wasn't it? And the cooperative system built by the various large and small communities that existed there ...... was the Northern Tree Sea Coalition.
Yes, I'm sure you're aware of that.

　It was Theodore, who was present at the meeting, who replied.

The reason why our Beaufort family is a frontier count. The Beaufort's territory is a neighboring foreign country. Now you have an idea why I was chosen as an intermediary, don't you?
