The elven village was as expected ...... literally gone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All that remained was a ruined town, the wreckage of houses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Countless dead humes and their companions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

....... That's all there was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps some of our brethren were lucky enough to escape. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I don't think there are that many.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The birth rate of the elves is low to begin with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Under such circumstances, they would not be able to nurture and bring up new lives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if they could afford to do so, there is little chance that scattered elven men and women would meet again and have children.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If new children are born, they will probably be of mixed race.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In other words, in the not-so-distant future, the pure Elven species will be extinct.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So I swear by Yggdrasil.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I will live as long as possible to prove that the race of elves has existed in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And if I bear a child, at least the future will be connected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As a pure-blood elf, the chances of that connection may be slim. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That is why I must leave and find someone I can trust in a town where the Hume live.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know that there is no trustworthy person among the Humeans who created ...... such a tragedy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And deep down I hate them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I still have to look for them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Only the Hume, the witch, and the demon can breed with the Elves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is a fact that once there were those who intermarried with the beastmen, but they could not produce children.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We cannot allow them to mingle with demons or witch folk because of the pride of the Elves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then the only choice will be the Hume.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The Humean race that started the destruction of the Elven race.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How ironic that we must rely on them to sustain our species. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With these thoughts and sentimentality in my mind, I decided to prepare for my journey.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......Unfortunately, our village, which was located upwind of the fire, was not the only one involved in the fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We managed to find what we needed for our journey in the collapsed ruins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

First of all, we decided to look for the magic tools that we would absolutely need for the rest of our lives in the place where our home used to be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If I could find this magical tool, I would be able to disguise my appearance and hide the fact that I was an elf.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After about an hour of searching, I managed to find the desired bracelet and magic filler.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now we can go on our journey for the time being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A sigh of relief escaped from my mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... but I cannot be completely relieved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is true that with this magical tool, it is possible to disguise one's appearance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, once the stored magic power is gone, it loses its effect and reverts back to its original form.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Therefore, it is necessary to replenish the magic power regularly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If the timing of replenishment is not right, only an unfortunate future will probably be waiting for us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Anyway, as long as you have this magical tool, you may be able to live in the villages of other races.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Later, I was able to find storage bags, clothes, and weapons such as bows and daggers in my house and in the houses of my neighbors.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Preparations for our departure proceeded steadily, and at last everything was ready.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As it was already evening, we decided to leave at sunrise tomorrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We decided to sleep at ...... tonight, in our home, which is still in its original state.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if it is crumbled and there is no more to see, it is still a place full of precious memories for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I will keep it firmly in my mind's eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And remember.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And I will remember the fun memories and the anger that wells up in the depths of my heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wiping away the tears that came of their own accord, over and over again, I spent my last night in my hometown.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......I will definitely come back again."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I left my hometown with words of determination once again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I decided to go to a town as far away as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The further away I went, the more people would be unaware of the tragedy that had happened in the elven village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And the number of those who had never met an elf would naturally increase.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am sure that ...... there will be no one who thinks that I am an elf.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course, there is no way to know because of the magic tools, but I think it would be safer to have that kind of grounding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought I should take precautions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

On the way to the town, I created a large amount of high quality potions with the help of [wood] and [alchemy].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I intend to sell them along the way to earn some extra cash on the road.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I also made a potion that can make me invisible for a certain period of time, and another that emits an intense light when used.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, I was a woman traveling alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if they are not identified as elves, there must be some unscrupulous people who will try to get involved with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We should move with extreme caution.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, sister. That's a nice high potion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All right, I'll buy one for 20 silver coins."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the town we stopped in, I happened to meet a peddler who was willing to buy the potions I had made.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I decided to ask around and gather more information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you for .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You are peddling your wares in various towns, aren't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Do you know of any towns that are safe and comfortable?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sister. Are you thinking of moving here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, as you can see, I am a woman alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If there is a town where I can live in peace, I would love to go there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The uncle thought for a moment and gave me two options.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it's a bit far, but I guess it's the royal city," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a town where the king lives, so it is lively and safe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the town of Lucas is also nice, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not as crowded as King's Landing, but it is a relaxing town and not a bad place to live.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would recommend these two.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, the royal city certainly seems to be a safe place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The other place is the town of Lucas (......).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you choose between the two, I guess you should go to the royal city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you very much! Then I think I will go to the royal capital."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thanked him, bowed, and left him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thanked him for his hospitality and left him. ...... but what was it? I feel something strange about the way my uncle is acting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With a bad premonition, I turn around and check my uncle's figure again. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But he is already gone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What? What's going on?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a straight road with a good view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't think I could lose them if I walked only a few meters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......The strange feeling I had felt earlier grew even louder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe that uncle is a bad person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I shouldn't be too suspicious, but he is a Humean.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We should be careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Since we told them that we were going to the capital, they might try something on the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, at this time of night, one would think that they would stay at an inn, wouldn't one?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Either way, I think there is a good chance they are still watching me somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, let's change our destination to the other Lucas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And, even though it's a bit of a waste of money, let's stay at the inn, take the invisibility potion when we get into our rooms, and leave town right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This way, they probably won't be able to find us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Okay, once that's decided, let's get moving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I leave the inn and am now walking along the street as the sun is setting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course, I continue to use my invisibility potion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I check with the receptionist at the inn for the way to King's Landing and Lucas, and tell him that I am going to King's Landing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Since I made it look like I was interested in the royal city, even if the man from earlier asked the innkeeper, he would not think that I was going to Lucas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps now we can get around without any worries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Our destination is the town of Lucas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder what kind of town it is.
