††† (Viewpoint of Ferret, Queen of the Elves)


　To my dear sister, Anemone...
　You and Master Ike have been on your way to Ivalice for several weeks now.
　I hope you've already arrived in Ivalice.
　I'm writing on the assumption that you've arrived, and I hope you've arrived safely.


　Now, assuming you have arrived in the city of Ivalice, just one word of caution: don't get too excited.
　The human city may be gorgeous, but don't get too carried away.
　Great cobblestones and big buildings.

　There are a lot of shops and also a few freak shows, but my sister would prefer that you don't go to those places too much and just act as a representative of the elves.


　--I'm not sure I have the qualifications to write such a great thing though.


　I live in peace here in the forest of the World Tree, while you fight in the frontline city of Ivalice.

　I'm not qualified to lecture you on the subject.


　But still, she does envy you a bit.
　The reason for this is because I can be by the side of His Highness, Master Ike.
　This is the only thing I envy you a little bit - well, a lot. Jealous.
　I wish I'd learned to use a sword myself.

　If I was able to wield a rapier as brilliantly as you, I would love to have my sister go over there and fight with you instead.


　Ike-sama--


　He is a mysterious person. He looks like the immortal king himself, but for some reason, he's not scary at all.
　His words and actions, and the depth of his eyes, give me an outpouring of compassion.
　I can't tell you how many times I've wished he had been born an Elf man.


　You are my twin sister, we share this feeling, don't we?
　I'm sure you'll be glad to be by Ike's side, but please be careful about that too.
　Your role is to assist Ike. Don't confuse your love interest with your job.
　This is not my sister's jealousy, but my command as queen.
　So, don't create a pre-existing fact by finding an opening and forcing Lady Ike to perform the kissing ritual!
　This is your command as queen!
　No, as my sister, I ask you to do this.
　If the two of you are going to compete with each other for Ike-sama, then let's play fair and square.
　I won't allow you to take advantage of the advantage of serving at your side, and I won't allow you to run off!


　--I got a little overexcited.


　Anyway, my sister has put her trust in you.
　You don't need to worry about us, and do your best to assist Master Ike.
　I will do my best to protect the World Tree Forest and the elves, and I will support you from the rear.
　It looks like we'll be able to secure the rare mushroom (Mandogora) and Ket Shih's fruit that Ike-sama asked for.


　--Then I'll have to put down my brush, even though it's been a long time.
　Please take care of yourself. And don't force yourself to eat something you're not used to.


　From your one and only sister, Ferrette.


　P.S.


　A few days ago, a blonde woman claiming to be an emissary of the League of Lords arrived.
　Oh, but don't worry.
　It wasn't any kind of threat or intimidation, it was just a woman who was a pure negotiator.
　Or rather, the woman seemed to want to meet with Ike-sama, so she came to this forest.
　It seems that they had just misunderstood each other.
　When Ike said that she had returned to her estate, she went straight to Ivalice.

　Her name was Alistair - and she called herself the leader of the White Rose Order.
　I don't think she's a dangerous person, but just in case, please be careful.
