24-Extra Edition Business Trip, Dystopia





 Hello!
 My name is Leafa.
 Today, I'm in a place called Dystopia, a short distance from my country.

 I'm here today because our princess, Master Arche, has given me permission.
 Ever since I was a little girl, I've wanted to travel outside of my country and be of service to many people, so I'm quite excited.

 And it seems that Dystopia, the place where I will be staying this time, is underground.
 This kind of system is unheard of in my country.

 Because if you build something underground, it's hard to feel nature, isn't it?
 As an elf, I like to be exposed to the sun.

 But this time, I can't say that.
 On the contrary, I believe that experiencing something unfamiliar will help me grow.

"Ms. Lifa. Dystopia is a big place, so make sure you follow me.

"Yes, sir!

 Licht-san is the one who supports me as an amateur.
 He's a newcomer, but he's been entrusted with a very important role in this dystopia.

 I'm not sure if it's right for him to be supporting me, but there are few people as reassuring as him.
 I was still at the entrance of the dystopia, but I was so excited and nervous that I almost went crazy.

This area is guarded by vampires, so don't worry about the occasional bat.

"Yes! I understand!

 I looked around, and sure enough, there were some bats hanging around.

 Vampires - a little scary, but it's an experience.
 Maybe it's just that there are bad rumors about them, but they might actually be a warm-hearted race.
 I'm hoping to learn such things through this dispatch.

Oh, Mr. Richt. Is that person ......?

"His name is Roze. She's very dedicated to her work.

 I looked in the direction of the sound of footsteps, and saw a girl about my age running.
 She was carrying a heavy load, and I guessed she was in the middle of carrying something.

 All I could think of was how much I respected her.
 I was helping my mother and father, but when it came to work, it was still in the realm of household chores.

 Girls my age are doing such a great job, I should learn from them.

 I never thought I would see something so exciting in one area.
 Just by walking around, my motivation is doubled.

 Oh.
 But I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get to see a vampire.
 It's probably not true that he's a vampire, and I wonder if he's too busy to be somewhere else.

 I'd like to hear your story sometime.


***************


This is the territory that Iris and Tise are guarding. I'm sure you'll like this realm since we're both elves.

Yes, yes! I love this space!

 The next area we came to was one that was underground, but was full of nature.
 It's as natural as my own country.
 I never expected to be able to smell the flowers here.

 After all, both Iris and Tise are elves, so they seem to have the same taste as me.

"Sister, you have a visitor. I'm sure he's a helper.

"Oh, welcome. It's nice to meet you.

Hello! I'm looking forward to working with you!

 To my surprise, I was spoken to by Iris and Tise.
 In fact, they even greeted me.
 Normally, I would have tried to just say hello, but they seemed to be very polite.

 I can't describe how impressed I was.

"......, what is your name?

"Yes! My name is Leafa!

Yes. Serious girl. Good luck.

Oh.

 Iris patted me on the head.
 She is a few years younger than me, but she is several times more dignified than me.
 This will be an event that I will remember for the rest of my life.

 The word "good luck" had a far greater effect on me than money ever could.

We have herbal tea, so please take your time. I'm sure you've had a long journey.

"Oh, no! I don't need you to do that for me!

Leafa. It's your sister's kindness.

Okay, I understand. Thank you very much!

 At Iris's urging, I accepted the cup from Tise.
 I felt a little nervous when she called my name, but there was no point in getting worked up over every little thing.

 I gulped down a cup of herbal tea to calm my mind.



"Huh. ......

I'm glad you liked it.

 It was so good that I couldn't help but sigh.
 I can see why Iris recommends it.

Thank you very much! I'll never forget this!

Oh, my goodness. ......

 With Iris and Tise looking after me, I went further in.
