Thank you for your explanation. So ...... what exactly is your business on this day? As a member of the Northern Tree Line Coalition?　Or is it ...... as a demon race?　

　In response to my question, Eir paused for a breath and then gave an obvious answer.

Of course, I have a business to attend to as an Elf. The idea behind this visit is not to visit the United Federation Council, but to visit the Senate in our hometown dungeon, the chalk fairyland.

　I felt Garnett, sitting next to me, silently bracing himself.

　I left my sword with him when I entered the villa, but he has the vibe that he'll fight me even if it's barehanded.

　I can't let them do that just because they are my opponent.

''Could it be that it has something to do with Demon King Gandalf?

　I put my hand on Garnet's shoulder, urging her to calm down, and then asked Ail for a more detailed explanation.

'There's certainly that too. It is true that I would have liked to see with my own eyes someone who had retired a messenger as good as him, but the demands of the Senate are another matter.
...... It sounded like you knew the Demon King by heart.
'Yes, well. I can't tell you all the details, and it's not really relevant to the topic at hand, so don't worry about it.

　That being said, I can't help but worry about it, but it's not likely to be answered if I pursue it here and now.

　Both elves and dark elves have long lives that are incomparable to humans.

　It is not surprising that they have been involved in each other's long half lives.

"The reason we sought you out is because we would like to examine your right eye.
Did you also know about 'Right Eye': ......
Yes. I have been sent to find out if the power in your eyes really comes from a wise man on the ...... earth of Alfazul. I have been sent to find out.

　Every word Eil uttered took me by surprise.

　Alfazl, Harbarz, Gagunlars, or Wise Man (Wiseman) --

　The dwarves inhabiting the Demon King's Castle Realm worship him as the creator of the dungeon, Alfazul, while the dukes of Kingswell worship him as a wiseman, a god who protects the workers of knowledge.

　He was the one who gave me the ability to transform my right eye into the Right Eye of Wisdom when I was on the verge of death after my battle with the Demon King Gandalf.

"Will you show me your right eye?

　Eil leaned forward slightly while looking straight at me.

　A beautiful face full of demon race (elf) characteristics. Beautiful eyes. A beautiful voice.
　They were so inhuman that my vigilance as an adventurer had been put on hold for some time now, and for the first time in a long time, I was scared.

　Humans and demons are different creatures - no matter how similar they look on the outside.

　You have to worry about whether or not they share the same spirit and values that she has lived with for hundreds or even thousands of years.

'...... So this is not a formal request through the royal court? If it were, I feel there would be no reason to show it to you.

　Garnett is also looking at me from the side to show his agreement.

　If it's a request from the royal palace, it's doubtful that the option of refusing would itself come to mind.

　Even if it was a request from a domestic noble or knightly order, she wouldn't refuse it unless it was for a very unreasonable reason.

　But she was neither of those.

　Even discounting the fact that she is an elf, she is only a member of another country's legislature during the truce, and since it is a private visit that is not an official parliamentary business, it was impossible to treat her the same as the royal nobles and knights of this country unconditionally.

　If not showing it would bring a disadvantage, then that is exactly the matter that must be reported to the royal palace and His Majesty the King.

''Of course we have something to offer you in return. If you show me your right eye, I will provide you with a wise man and knowledge of the right eye. Of course, my knowledge is limited to what I can provide to the rest of the world at my sole discretion and authority.

　I see, that seems to be a reasonable condition.

　For me, the fact that I don't know anything about the "right eye" is a major cause for concern.

　How much information can be obtained is unknown, but as expected, it would be difficult to ask for payment first, and we can screw Theodore with complaints if there was nothing much to show for it in return.

'...... I understand. Let's go with those terms.

　Holding his hand over his right eye, he activates 【Disintegration】 and switches the eyeball into a mass of blue flaming magic.

　In a battlefield, it's an ability that intuitively shows me where to use 【Restoration】 or 【Degradation】, but right now I'm not getting much information, perhaps because I don't particularly need it.

　However, I could see an enormous amount of magic power oozing from Eir's body that I couldn't suppress from seeing through the 'right eye'.

''Well!　Well, well, well!

　Eil suddenly got up from his seat and approached me, and then he put his hand on my cheek and adjusted the angle of my face, looking into my 'right eye' as if he was happy to see his friend for the first time in over a decade.

'It really is the eyes of Alfazul!　I never thought I'd see it again in this day and age!
...... You know not only Gandalf, but also Alphasul.

　As expected, because our faces were getting too close, Garnett was also showing signs of impatience, but I couldn't push her away or interrupt her, so she just wandered around next to me, flustered.

　Eil didn't even take a glance at Garnett's situation, only observing my 'right eye' up close and fully, before returning to her original seat with satisfaction.

''Thank you. That is indeed Alfazul's eye, Wisdom's right eye. Now I can return to 'Fairyland' with pride.
'Now, I'm sure you can tell me as much as you can about Alfazul and this 'right eye'.

　I immediately put my 'right eye' back on and make our request explicit again before a poorly executed deception is interrupted.

''Of course. Alpha Zulu and the Wise Man (Wiseman), Bireig and the Nameless One (Nameless). Let me tell you a little bit about that man of old. Please forgive us if we only have a fraction of the knowledge we possess.
