"I've been looking everywhere for you in Elfland. I didn't expect to find you in your home.
I've sealed up the basement where I've been holed up so that Yol-san won't find out. No matter how skilled you are, you wouldn't have been able to sense my presence!　It's amazing!
"If you had spent that effort on the manuscript, I wouldn't have wasted thirty years of my life.
No!　I'm sorry!　I'm so sorry!

　Finally, Dorothea began to cry in vain.
　But since it was her own fault, Allen had no sympathy for her.

I'm sorry for the trouble. Here is the cost of repairing the wall. Please pay.
......

　The young man handed Allen an envelope and carried Dorothea up with great difficulty.
　He's totally guilty of kidnapping. Thanks to this, Dorothea calls out for help in a distressed voice.

"No, no, no, no!　Please help me, Mr. Allen!　I'm going to be drowned at sea!
"What are you talking about? You wouldn't do that to a writer you care about.
Oh, really? ......?　Yoru's become a lot more rounded in the past 30 years.
The ocean is not so bad. Let's go to the crater for starters.
You'll die!　I'm an elf and magma will kill me!
Ha-ha-ha. Isn't it true that a writer has to experience everything?
How can I use a near-death experience in a crater for a romance novel?

　Carrying the screaming Dorothea, the young man walked through a large hole in the wall and easily left the scene.
　A few seconds later, a huge black dragon with a human figure in its mouth was seen flying away from the window.

　Lu is still asleep. Apparently, he's gotten used to the unnecessary commotion.

　Thanks to that, the living room became quiet at once.
　Allen remained puzzled, but a ...... faint voice shook his eardrums.

This is a great way to make sure that you don't end up with a lot of problems.
I'm sorry,....... I'm sorry.

　It was then that I realized that I had been holding Charlotte close.
　I awkwardly let go of her body and let go of her hand. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.
No, ...... no.

　Even Allen couldn't have said that in this atmosphere.
　He exhaled deeply and covered his face. He felt exhausted, but not disappointed at all.
　Although my confession had failed, ...... there were still plenty of opportunities.

(I'm rather glad I got out of the way. I should have ...... prepared better instead of just letting things happen.

　Romantic scenery.
　Heartfelt gifts.
　Heartfelt gifts. Touching words.

　He was determined to make his confession a success.
　Allen was determined to do so.

"You know what, Charlotte?
Yes?
I'm gonna do it. I'm going to do it. So, ...... wait a minute.
Ha, ha. ...... Got it?

　Charlotte just rolled her eyes at Allen's seriousness.
