Why is an elf girl in these woods?
　Bellamus wonders.

　There is a good distance from the land of the elves to the great forest of Furazes.
　Elves are so fond of their homeland that they rarely venture outside it.
　It is rare for an elf to be in these woods.

　Since they are here, I thought there was no point in being surprised, so I decided to ask them what happened.

"Why are you in this forest?　Why were they after you?　Did you get lost?

　I asked him in Elvish.

"......Yeah, ...... and ......... and when I escaped, I walked into this forest. ...... When I found out, the guys from earlier attacked me ...... and I ran away again ...... and you saved me.

　As she remembered, the elf girl murmured.

"Run away to this forest?
'Oh, uh, ......, I've got a few things going on.

　It sounded like something he didn't want to hear, so he didn't pursue it.

　Bellamus thinks for a moment about what to do with this girl.
　But abandoning her is not an option, so she must be helped.
　After making his way, he was going to negotiate a trade with the elves, but there was no way he was going to abandon this girl here, and he didn't want to abandon someone in need before that.

'If you want to leave this forest and return to the land of the elves, I can help you.
'What?　Wait a minute: ...... Well, I don't want to go back to the ...... country, or rather, you're not speaking the language of the elves?　You're not an elf, are you?
No. I'm human.
'Yeah, right . You're not an elf ...... I was taught that everyone outside of ...... speaks a different language, but I wonder if that was a lie ......?
I just happen to speak. The others won't get it.
Yeah,
If that makes it difficult for you to return to the elven lands on your own, we will cooperate.
'Oh, no, I don't want to go back to Famaal: ......'

　Belamus was surprised by that statement.
　The elves love their homeland so much, it's hard to imagine them not wanting to return home.

Do you have somewhere to go?
I'm not ...... or even ......, but if you think about it, I'm in a really bad situation right now, and I have no place to go ...... and no place to go back to.

　For some reason, Beramus thought, this girl had been driven from her home.

"Did they commit a crime and leave the land of the elves?
'Hey, that's rude!　I don't do crime!
So why?
I can't tell you that ....... ......

　Vellums isn't sure what to do.
　He seems to be in a lot of trouble, and I want to help him, but something seems fishy.
　You may be in trouble and you may be bringing trouble into town.

　But I don't want to abandon him.
　Bellamus decided to help.

There's a town near here. If you don't have somewhere to go, why don't you head over there for a while?
'What?　Really?　Thank you!　Lead the way!

　He said so with a big smile.
　He's not the kind of kid who can do shady things, Vellums decided.

'I'm Romesa El Mercado!　What's your name?
Vellums.

　After introducing himself to each other, Bellamus feels uncomfortable with her name .

(El Mercredo?)　(As I recall, the Queen's family, who ruled the Elven lands, had such a family name: ......)

　Maybe I'm remembering things wrong. Belamus didn't know enough about elves to say that he could never be wrong.
　If they were truly the Queen's kin, then they risked getting into trouble.

　But we cannot withdraw our support once we say we are going to help.
　I hope it won't be that much of a problem,...... and I walked back to where Delarosa and Medeiro were waiting for me.
