Well, we left Kishina, which became the manor city today, and after meeting the agent that day and defeating the running dragon, we introduced ourselves at the inn on the street.

''My name is Hasty Hachiya. My race is Helluva Haider.

　Helluvahider It is a race of elves and hamster-beastmen with ancestry.

　It is small and light in stature, with no apparent age to rely on. Compared to humans, they are less sturdy and less powerful. Instead, they are agile and good at covert action, and can use spirit magic.

I'm not a fan of formalities, so let's just take it easy. I'm Ryota Ohnaka. I'm an exterminator on the side. I'm a researcher dispatched by the Japanese government to investigate the condition of the gods of Ares. Nice to meet you.

　I decided to give them a break with some tea snacks first. Then, since the Helluva Haider is a minor race, I explained the knowledge I gained from the library to everyone.

　I heard that they mean "those who lurk in the grass" [Helluva Haider].

　Three thousand years ago, when the gods began to migrate, they created the elves in this world. But the timing was too soon. A war of the old civilization destroyed nature once, and it is still recovering. There was no forest big enough for the elves to live in.

　The elves prayed to the gods for the reforestation of the forest, but in the process of moving and remodeling, they missed their prayers. As a result, as soon as they were created, they were in danger of extinction.

　The elves were helped by the hamster beasts. They are omnivorous, with the ability to hibernate, reproduce vigorously, and are omnivorous, being able to eat a variety of things. They are omnivores who can eat a variety of foods and have adapted to life in the grasslands, where they first began to revive.

　But hamster beasties also have a weakness. It's the hibernation period when food is scarce and they need to survive the winter. The elves were the perfect defenders during this hibernation period. They consumed very little food and had a high base defense with their bows and spirit arts.
(Arrow shafts in those days were made of warm bamboo, not wood or bamboo.)

　The elves and hamster-beastmen agreed to help each other, and the elves took on the responsibility of guarding the den and the children, while the hamster-beastmen, who were good at silent assassination, took on the responsibility of scavenging in the grasslands. If they could afford it, they would plant trees for the elves.

　During hibernation, the elves would be the only ones left, but their food consumption would be low. And if there is an enemy attack, they are a highly skilled race that can defend themselves until the hamsters wake up. They were a great coexistence partner for the hamsters.

　This long period of coexistence lasted for a long time, and the Hellbahider was born out of that coexistence.

　Originally, elves avoided half-elves. However, they were recognized as a close race and called themselves grass elves, not as a pejorative term, but as an intimate race.

　Finally, after many years, the arve grasslands are transformed into forests. When they were able to live on their own as a species, the hamsters began to run out of food and left for the east in search of richer grasslands. (Towards Tianzhu.)

　There was no conflict and a peaceful farewell to each other's prosperity. Furthermore, they gave the Helluva Haider the grasslands and wetlands they had been in. Land that wasn't suitable for planting, but it was low in fertility and suitable for life on the grasslands, enough for the Helluvahiders.

　The elves also invited the Helluvahiders to become equal citizens at the founding of the Arve Forest Nation. However, the Helluva Haider, sensing the will of the purely departed Hamster Beasts, refused to defend their ancestral lands, and limited themselves to exchanges and alliances.

　Since then, the grasslands and marshes to the east of the Arwe Forestland have become the home of the Hervahiders. And for the Arve Forest Nation, it is the second most important target of defense after their own. However, the grass elves are more often than not the backup for the Arve Forestland.


Characteristics of the race

Appearance.

　He looks like a minor in adulthood.
　The cheek pouch function is present, so they have a round face.
　They have an inconspicuous but small tail.


Abilities inherited from hamster beastmen.

　High athletic ability
(His body is less sturdy than that of an elf.)

　Excellent covert abilities.
Smaller in stature, so less area to be hit.

　night vision ability

　The ability to make ultrasonic vocalizations that cannot be heard by humans
　Excellent hearing
(In conjunction with the above, we can have an ultrasonic conversation.)

The abilities I inherited from the elves.

　Affinity with Spirits

　age-delay
(They don't age visibly, but their immune systems do, so their lifespan is similar to humans.)
(Fertility is human.)

　low fuel consumption
(Instead, they are slightly less powerful than humans and can't handle heavy weapons.)


　The above is a combination of the new Ares Empire's book materials and information on the Goddess.

''I knew the grass elves existed, but I didn't know they had that kind of history.

So do I. Now I can see why the elves built a bigger country than the dwarves.

Pina, I understand a little.

"The hamster-beast man who was called the Grim Reaper in guerrilla and covert warfare... life is a mystery.

　There were some boisterous words coming out of Yukikaze, but it didn't matter since I couldn't hear anything else.

''Yo shibetto- Ochiha-dan-san also has something I want to ask you.

　Suddenly, Hasty spoke to me with a tribal accent. Multi-purpose goggles are not enough to translate it, so I immediately ask Window Flower to translate it in the database of the armored car.

　Translation: [You've been researching a lot. I have a question for you as well.

　Window flowers are always too cheesy....

'Will you give me God's treasure first?　My story is next. If you're convinced, how about some heroic information?

　They too have information that cannot be handed over easily.
　At the very least, I'd like to secure the god's treasure.
　However, Hasty-san took the lead.

''First of all, I really want to make sure that the Ryota-dono of Japan is in your family?　The founder of the Hachiya clan, Yanosaburo Hachiya, has Japanese memories, and in a previous life was a member of the Amago family, the guardians of Izumo Province, and his subordinates, the Hachiyashu, who were ninja hachiyashu. In a previous life, he was a member of the Amago family, the guardians of Izumo Province, and his followers, the Hachiyashu.

　Your whole family?　Hachiya-shu, a ninja of the Amago family of the Izumo guardians?　The Amish family is the warlords of China, why is there a burglar in Ares?

　Could it be.........a reincarnation?　The Goddess didn't tell me about the Japanese reincarnation!　For now, just let it slide and go talk to the Goddess later!

'Not in every house. To put it another way, the gods of Japan, and their immediate superiors are Tengakujo-sama and Kanayako-sama. In fact, I'm an investigator sent by the Japanese gods rather than the Japanese nation.

　I can't wait to talk to the goddess....
　If there are any more reincarnations, we're in trouble!

"You're a messenger of the Goddess Kanyako!　Please forgive me for my past rudeness!　

　Saying that, Hasty held out the [Lyre of Orpeus] to me, but....

　Please don't be a goddess!
　I'm a businessman who works for a paycheck.
　So I don't need a life!

Don't worry about being a messenger or being rude. I'm just a person who receives support from the goddess and works for her, so don't do anything rash!

　Speaking of Izumo, it is the head temple of the Kanayako Shrine, and is located under the castle of Gassan Tomita Castle, the home of the Amago family. It is located under the castle of Tomita Castle in Gassan, the residence of the Amago family. Furthermore, Kanayama-hime of the Sabiyasan Shrine in Iwami Ginzan is considered to be the same as Kanayako, and there is also the interpretation that they are mother and child. Even so, I didn't expect her to have so much prestige.

　However, if it's just Kanayako-sama alone, Tenzaku-sama is going to sulk. Difficult to consult.....

Thank you for your kind words. Also, if you are aware of the present condition of our Hachiya-shu master's family, the Amagans, I wonder if you are aware of it?

　Hmm. I believe it was destroyed by Mori, but some of it survived the attack and surrendered. Let's blur the mark a bit.

The descendants of the Amagis are still around, but they are commoners. They have been erased from Japan. Nowadays, everyone is a commoner and Japan is a republic. The emperor is recognized as the head of state in the rest of the world, but in effect he is the symbol of the people.

The Prime Minister is called the Prime Minister. There are still some countries in Europe, for example, where the king is the head of state. Check the existing monarchies for details.

"I see the samurai are gone, but if the family is still alive, the founder will be safe. Thank you.

　I've told you so much, and let's hear about the heroes.
　Reporting to the goddess in two parts, or something stupid like that.


Hasty Hachiya.
