"Hahaha! Cheers, cheers, cheers!"
"Oh, cheers to the World Tree!"
"Cheers to our village!"

　As the moon rose in the night sky and stars blinked, many dark elves gathered at the training ground in the village of Dark elves for a feast.
　Many bonfires light up the surroundings and dark elves drink and make a fuss everywhere.
　Even when the world trees temporarily recovered, everyone was having a party and making a fuss, but this party is much larger than that.
　They could also say that the dishes served were gorgeous compared to previous feasts.
　...though the vast majority of the ingredients for this luxurious dish are the meat of the monsters that have attacked the village today.
　Oak meat, which can be called a natural enemy of the Dark Elf, was especially popular, and the Oak, who was attacked relentlessly by the Dark Elf when he was alive, was in a strange state of being welcomed by the Dark Elf when he died.
　Dark elves are usually a place for combat training, but today they are a happier place for many.
　The happiness includes dishes of monster meat, including oak meat, which brings happiness to the mouth... happiness to the mouth.

"And yet, I never thought that the light bulb was the will of the world tree... old man, has this ever happened?"

　One of the Dark Elf men eats oak skewers and asks his grandfather... of the Dark Elf, who is younger than Optis, but who doesn't look that different in age.

"I've lived in this village for a long time, but I've never seen it before."
"...so why so?"
"Well... maybe it's because of that man, Ray..."

　His grandfather's words convince Dark Elf.
　Everyone already knows why this series of events and the world tree disturbances that seem to have been caused by giant cicadas. Because...

"He's the kind of guy who would knock down such a giant cicada..."

　mutter one's eyes to the corpse of a giant cicada in the corner of the banquet hall
　The body of a giant cicada in Ray's mistling was asked to show Marina exactly what she was with, so she took out the body of the giant cicada.
　Even though some Dark Elves were daunted by their enormous size, most still looked respectfully at Ray and Sett for defeating their huge opponents.
　It's safe to say that the sight of fear of Ray has almost disappeared here.
　Some people still seemed to think about magic, but as long as they had helped the village, pride would not allow them to behave like that.
　In addition, the body of a giant cicada that caused the disturbance in the world tree could normally be in the middle of a banquet.
　The reason why it is outside the banquet hall is because of its huge size.
　If the body of a giant cicada is in the middle of the banquet hall, the people who are having a party need to avoid the body of the giant cicada in order to move around.
　Monsters a few meters in size would not be so troublesome, but two of them are about 10 meters long, even if they are cut off in the body.
　It might be nice to look at, but I decided it was a hindrance to having a banquet and ended up being placed away.

"My son-in-law, this time it was a real relief."
"No, that's why he's not my husband,"

　Being not good at liquor, he returns it to Optis while drinking fruit water that Dark Elf has cooled down with spirit magic for Ray.
　Optis doesn't mean it, either, but he's probably making fun of Ray.
　The evidence was that Optis had an amusing smile on her face.
　He thoroughly enjoyed Ray's reluctance to call him his son-in-law.
　Knowing this, Ray decides that any objections will only please Optis, gently diverts his gaze from Optis and turns to Seto, who is eating an oak filling next to him.
　It is a dish in which internal organs are taken out of an oak's torso, packed with herbs, nuts, fruits, vegetables, etc., tied together with thread and baked slowly over time.
　This time, we didn't have much time, and since we tried to cook with spirit magic, the taste of the food is worse than that of the one we cooked with all our might.
　But... it was still delicious enough for Seto, and he was happily eating the oak stuffing.

"It looks a little harsh, but it smells delicious."

　It also has oak face, hands and feet, and even though it is processed to eat properly, it still has a grotesque feel.

(I've often heard that it's as delicious as a get-together, but I guess that's the way it is.)

　The moment Optis, who was breathing and still trying to make fun of something, tried to talk to him...

"Old man... No, old man." It sounds like a lot of fun. I think I've been causing Ray a lot of trouble for a while ago."

　That's how we talk to Optis.
　His voice pauses for a moment, but the next moment he smiles... with a misleading smile instead of a teasing smile.

"No, no, I'm not bothering Ray at all. I was just talking for a moment. What?"

　Optis's gaze was directed at Ray, who was speaking.
　Ray was about to open his mouth to Optis, who asked him to be misled.

"Is that so?"

　Marina glances at me with a smile.

"You've got it all mixed up, yes,"

　At first, Ray thought for a moment that he might be able to protect Optis, but when Marina looks at him, he immediately changes his policy and offers Optis as a sacrifice.

"Oh! Ray, are you going to abandon 儂?"
"You may say so," It's true that I've caused you trouble."
"Old man, can I talk to you for a moment?"

　You must have felt something dangerous about the remark. Optis placed his glass of wine on the ground, and immediately tried to escape with his favorite cane. . . .

"Oh, old man," Where are you going? This is where your old man is going, isn't it?"

　In an instant, Marina grabs Optis by the collar.

"What!"

　What surprised me was Optis.
　Even though it was just a joke, I never thought I would be caught this easily.

"Marina... What happened, old man?"

　Optis's tone of voice, which asks so, does not show any antics from a few seconds ago.
　Being her granddaughter, Optis knew full well about Marina's abilities.
　Originally, he was a highly skilled archer and spirit wizard, but he was not as good at close combat as most dark elves.
　However, the movement that I've made close contact with now has not been something that I can't make into a bad neighborhood combat.
　That's why I wondered what and how Marina got this kind of power.
　But... Marina opens her mouth with a glamorous smile at Optis, who takes a serious look at her.

"There's something in me that comes out of Ray's body. That's probably because of it."

　Marina says so, and for a moment the movement around her stops.
　It was such a misleading way of saying it, so it's no wonder.
　Did you imagine something or did you drink too much... the dark elves, who were listening to it all around, turn their cheeks red, regardless of all s*xes.
　Of course, the words that Marina uttered are heard by Elena and Vihela, and they shake their feet and walk towards the marina.
　waveringly
　The movement, reminiscent of ghosts or something, made the partygoers feel their hearts beat fast even when they stopped after hearing Marina's remark.
　The twitching, twitching movement of the two men gives the dark elves around them a strong sense of fear because they are so beautiful.

"Marina, may I have a word with you?"
"Well, if possible, I'd like you to explain what you said and what you said about the kiss."
"Oh, really? Well, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you as much as I want. Why don't we have to talk about it here, so let's go out for a second?"

　Marina tells him without any particular resistance and turns to Optis.

"That's why, old man," I'm going to leave my seat for a while, but don't be too old. I'll have someone else play it later."Marina, smiling glamorously with a smile around her mouth, stands up and leaves.
　Seeing off her granddaughter's back, Optis looks at Ray, who is close to her.
　In the conversation between the three women I mentioned earlier, to Ray, who was enjoying cooking with Seto without showing any time.

"Lord... do you have any trouble?"
"What?"

　Ray, stuffed with boiled oak, replies to Optis.
　There was little point in my mouth because I had food in it.

"Oh, well, that's all right. ...everyone. The disaster is gone. Drink and eat a lot now, and be glad that you survived safely!"

　To change the frozen air, Optis raises a glass of wine and yells.
　With this as a signal, those around him raise a glass and talk to each other to forget what they just saw.

"The world tree is back, so I'll have to drink and make a fuss today."
"Oh, sir, but the misfortune Mr. Optis has just spoken of, by any chance..."
"Don't say it. Don't say it anyway. Don't say anything more. Never say it. Okay? Woe is a giant cicada whose upper and lower bodies are cut in half over there. It must be so. There's nothing but that. -- you know what I mean?"

　The Dark Elf man nods back to his friend telling him he would never say anything more.
　Everybody understands. It is said that the misfortune that comes out of Optis' mouth also shows the conflict between three beautiful women as well as giant cicadas.
　But if I say it out, I have a feeling that a new disaster will come to me, and I can't say it.

"Well, anyway... what was that light bulb Ray was carrying? It was strangely familiar."

　Perhaps he didn't want to talk more about the disaster, but the dark elf guy nearby suddenly changes the subject.
　Moreover, the people around me tell me that it is the will of the world tree.
　The topic was a little deliberate, but many of you might want to get off the topic as soon. The topic moves on there as if there were no particular objections.
　She turns to Ray, who is eating with Seto, but there is no light bulb in the conversation.
　When he came back to the village after defeating a giant cicada, he left Ray.
　That's why some people haven't seen Ray's light bulb.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　There are quite a few who have seen, or may have seen, but very few remember it firmly.
　Dark elves say, "I've seen it, I haven't seen it, I touched it, I caressed it..." but some of them get stuck in the middle.
　No wonder, especially the dark elf man, who said he had stroked the light bulb, was even stared at in amazement by people around him.
　They know that light bulbs cannot be touched.

"Is that light bulb really the will of the world tree?"
"If you're curious, you can ask yourself, right?
"Will you tell me? You're the kind of guy who knocks down such a giant cicada?"
"No, it doesn't matter," Considering Ray's personality, if you don't mind telling him, he will teach you as soon as possible."
"...then you go and ask him,"
"Yes, sir. Here, listen!"

　His mouth is often said to be the cause of disaster, and when Ray tells him to ask, Dark Elf gets the attention of the others and eventually stands up.
　Perhaps it has something to do with Ray's lack of fear in the first place, but he just approaches him.
　Still, instead of suddenly asking about the light bulb, he talks about the food Ray eats.

"Is that food delicious, Ray?"
"Huh? Oh, it's delicious. Dark elves also eat food with their internal organs and beans stewed
"Ah! I wonder if that depends on the house. ...and I'd like to ask you a question, may ask you what the light bulb was?"
"That light bulb? It's like the will of the world tree."
『……』

　The dark elves who heard Ray's words without concealing them thought they had lost their words.
