"...... The king wants to see you."

The elf guarding the room told us this. He seemed to be trying desperately to get the words out of his head. His intonation was a little strange.

Meek and Sidi slowly stood up. So far they had not spoken at all, Sidi had remained motionless with his eyes closed and his gaze fixed on the ceiling, and Meek had kept his gaze drifting in the air.

They looked at each other and nodded their heads as they left the room. It seemed that a strong bond had already formed between the two of them, a bond that I couldn't understand. I followed their backs and walked as they led me. I don't feel like doing anything, as if the lack of magic makes me feel so weak. I wonder what will happen to me in the future. ....... Such anxiety wells up in my heart. I shake my head and try to wipe away these fears. What am I supposed to do with such thoughts? I have to protect them. ....... I take a deep breath and brace myself, thinking of this.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered Erza. It was right after I had been chosen to be a royal warding master.

"You may be isolated in the palace. You may find yourself in a situation you can't control. Then you will think: "I'm not going to let this happen. "It's going to be all right."

"Will it work out?"

"When we are isolated or in a situation where nothing we do works, we become anxious. And they want to put their trust in something. The evil one will take advantage of that opportunity. When people are anxious or afraid, it is easy to trust them when they are spoken kind words to. Therefore, when your position is in danger, you think that you can handle it. If you do that, things will naturally work out.

I muttered to myself. Yes, we can make it work. Yeah, I think so. I've got Sadie by my side. I don't have to do everything. I just need help where I'm lacking. I just do what I can. That's what Sadie said. I'm counting on you. It's not my place now. I'm just preparing myself for when you need me.

Thinking about that made me feel better. I put my hands together in my heart and whisper to myself.

......Thank you, Miss Elsa. Please watch over me from now on.

Somehow I felt that Erza smiled at me. It will be all right. Just when they had made up their minds, Sadie and the others stopped in their tracks.

There was a large door in front of them. It opened slowly and without a sound.

Please come in.

The elf who came to call for us leads the way into the room. Inside there was a large white table, like a long desk, and at the far end of the table sat the Elf King. When he saw us, he stood up quickly and offered us a seat next to him. We obeyed and took our seats.

The Elf King, Meek, Sidi, and I sit side by side. As I'm thinking that we can't have a conversation, Sidhi reaches out her hand to me. And he takes my hand in his.

I feel ...... as if she is saying, "This is the moment of truth.

Her face is turned to the front. But the force of her hand in my hand tells me that this is a very important moment. The word "meal" means that she is probably going to poison us here. Or rather, they will try to take Meek's life precisely because we and Sidhi are resistant to poison. If you look closely, Sidhi's right hand is holding Meek's hand and she seems to be passing a message to both of us. If she can get the message to me, she must be able to get it to Meek, too. This is the point.

"We cannot entertain you because of the unfortunate death of our people. Let us at least offer you some of our Elvish cooking. And ...... you will come to my bed this night."

There were a few elves in the room who appeared to be in charge of serving the guests, but their expressions instantly hardened. The king's words had come as a surprise. Come to think of it, he hates humans so much. Even though he is the king, it must have never occurred to him to invite a human to his bedchamber.

Perhaps sensing the unusual atmosphere, Ortó entered the room briskly. He walked up to the king without saying a word, and then bowed and stood back. As if on cue, several elves entered the room. They were holding plates in their hands, and each of them, without hesitation, placed them quietly in front of us, as if they had been assigned to a specific task.

"Dall'alea bird's egg soup," they said.

One of the elves who brought the food explained in a clear voice. When he had finished, he turned on his heel and left the room. The other elves follow him. Their movements were so controlled that it was as if they had been carefully rehearsed.

"Shall we eat?

Sadie smiles at us. She takes a spoon, scoops up some soup, and brings it to her mouth.

"Yes, it's delicious!

As expected from Rico's message, looking at it from a cool head, it was indeed a refined and elegant table manner.

While I was admiring it alone, Meek was dipping his hand into the soup and brought it to his mouth. Oh, no, no poisons ....... Sidney and I looked at each other. She seems to be saying that this dish is okay. Trusting her sensibility, I take a bite of the soup.

"...... is delicious."

It is a soup of concentrated flavor. He said something about an egg, but I wonder if this is the taste of egg.

After the soup was finished, the elves appeared again and brought out a new dish.

"This is a dish of makko tongue."

It is a black dish shaped like dumplings. It was served with green grass like vegetables. It smells very good.

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

It looks delicious. Let's eat.

Sidi's words are the cue for me to throw the food into my mouth. This dish also has a strong taste. Is it meat?　When you bite into it, something like gravy fills your mouth. The accompanying vegetables are crispy and delicious.

"This is the carcinese.

The next dish was a pizza-like dish. The cheese was melted and smelled good. The toppings are covered with a lot of mushroom-like things. Is ...... a mushroom?　Most likely poisonous mushrooms!

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

"Let's eat."

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

Despite my concern, Sidney popped the carcinese into his mouth with a knife and fork.

"Yes, it's delicious!"

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

Sadie nodded her head with a smile that seemed to be the biggest of the day. I followed her lead and tried the dish, which was very tasty with a rich cheese flavor. The mushroom toppings were also well seasoned and the more I chewed, the more flavor came out. It was such a dish.

"Shakat, sir."

The next dish was shaved ice. Oh, is it dessert already?　Not enough food at all, but ....... As I looked next to him with this thought, I saw Sidhi's indescribable expression on his face, as if he felt the same way. However, her expression soon returned to normal and she threw the ice into her mouth with a spoon.

"It's so sweet and delicious!　Is this ...... honey and lemon?　Yeah, it's delicious."

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

He nodded his head and ate with delight. Meek is eating it as well, saying it is delicious and tasty. I tried some too, and found it to be the coolest shaved ice I had ever tasted. Oh, I ate too much. My head is burning.

"Juliove ...... is the last one here."

The food served was some kind of persimmon-like food soaked in some kind of sauce. It smelled sweet. It also looked delicious.

Please wait. I can't take this.

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

At that moment, Sidi's dignified voice rang out. I looked at her next to me in surprise. .......
