Lilia and Luna Maria's fight?　also subsided, I looked at the two of them who had returned to their normal state and thought about it.
　I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I'm not sure when she'll be coming to visit, so I'll leave it at that.

''I heard a little while ago that there will be a festival called the Treasure Tree Festival at a place called the Elf Forest soon.
The Treasure Tree Festival? Yes, indeed, it's right around this time of year. I've never participated in it, but it's the biggest festival of the elves.
'Huh?　You've never participated in this before, Lilia?

　To me, I had the impression that Lilia-san was someone who knew everything about this world, and I had heard that it was a pretty famous festival, so it was surprising that Lilia-san had never participated in it.
　Lunamaria-san realized that the treasure festival I mentioned was related to Lilia-san's suggestion to go to some festival to the development of her mood that I had mentioned before, so she nodded once and then opened her mouth in her usual tone.

''Well I can understand why you're forgetting, but since this retarded person is a former princess and a divisional commander of a knightly order, she didn't have much of a chance to go out of the royal capital.
''I feel like a terribly unnecessary word was added, but........Yes, it's true, as Luna said, I haven't traveled outside the royal capital very often. I'm a royalty in a halfway house, and I was rather out of diplomacy.
'You look like a wild child with a brain, but your daughter is rather boxy.
' ... the first half of which I categorically deny, but the second half is generally true.

　It's easy to forget because of the friendly and approachable atmosphere she usually has, but although Lilia-san is a royal who has the right to the throne, she is in the slightly difficult position of being the king's older sister, and in addition, the king doted on her so much that he didn't want to let her out of the royal capital very much.
　As a result, although I have traveled with Luna Maria-san as a tourist, it is not very often, and I hear there are many areas that I know only as a knowledge.

''Aside from that, does that mean Kite-san would like to participate in the Treasure Festival?
Yes, I heard it's a famous festival, so I'd like to see it if I could...
''Isn't it good?　The Elven Forest is famous for its beauty and abundance, and since both the young lady and Miyama-sama have been so busy lately, wouldn't it be just right for a change of pace?

　When I nod at Lilia-san's words that ask while tilting my head, I get a favorable word from Lunamaria-san as well.
　Seeing her glancing at me and nodding at me, it seems that Lunamaria-san agrees with Lilia-san's choice of this festival for a change of pace.
　It seems that the conversation goes on smoothly as it is........or so it seems, but both of them make an expression as if they are thinking about something.

However, I've never visited the Elf Forest, let alone the Treasure Festival, so I'm a little nervous.
Don't you have any details, Lunamaria?

　I had heard that Lunamaria-san was a half-elf and demon mixed race before, so I asked her if she knew anything about the Elf Forest if she had elven blood in her, but Lunamaria shook her head.

''Indeed, my father was a half-elf, but he passed away when I was very young... I've been taken by my mother to attend the Demon World Festival a few times, but I've never visited the Elven Forest.
...Is that so?
Yes, and since the Treasure Festival is mainly for the elven race, the people who know more about it must be pure-blooded elves.

　Although it's a good feeling, there's still a part of me that feels uneasy about the lack of information.
　I'm sure Lilia-san agrees with the idea of participating, but it seems that she wants more information in advance as she's in charge of us.
　Then, suddenly, a woman comes to mind.

"....Don't you know a lot about this, Mr. Zeke?
'Indeed, Zeke is a pure-blooded elf, and from the Elven Forest... Luna, is Zeke... on his rounds at this time?
Yeah, I'll probably go talk to him.

　Apparently, Zeke-san seems to be from the Elven Forest and seems to be the perfect person to ask about the Treasure Festival.
　After receiving Lilia-san's words, Lunamaria-san went to call Zeke-san.
　I'm fortunate that Zeke is one of the people who work at Lilia-san's house and is a frequent talker, so it's easy for me to ask him about any questions I may have.

　When I briefly explain the situation to Zeke-san, who comes in a little while later, he nods with an understanding look, and then sits down on the reception sofa and prepares to answer my questions.
　　


Speaking of which, I don't even know where the elven forest is in the first place, is it far away?
....
'I see. So it's hard to say we're going to travel by carriage, then?
....
Flying around... is that like magic or something?
....
'What?　A dragon?　I see ... so that's how you get around.

　It seems that the Elf Forest is a reasonably distant place from the royal capital, it seems that it would take too much time to travel by carriage, so it seems that riding the flying dragon is the common way to travel.
　I didn't know this, but it seems that using the flying dragon to transport goods is the mainstream method of transporting goods, and apparently there are specialized companies that do it. In short, it's just like the airplane in earth.

The time of year seems to be fine for that. Is it possible for anyone to participate?
....
Good. I'm relieved. I heard it's a hunting and harvest festival...
....
Oh, I see. It's going to take two days.
....
'Hmmm, so the first day is the hunting contest and the second day is the harvest.
....
'Oh, I see. I'm looking forward to that!

　The first day of the festival is a hunting contest, where participants hunt in a designated area and the winners are selected according to their catches and presented with prizes.
　Then on the second day, we harvest in a safe plot. Apparently even children can participate in this one, and even I, who's not good at hunting, can join in with no problem.
　It is said that the fruits of the second night's hunting and harvest are cooked and eaten while thanking everyone for a bountiful harvest.

''........''
Wow, so you get a lot of people in every year.
Well hold on a second, gentlemen.
What?
...?

　When I was receiving a polite explanation from Zeke-san about the Treasure Festival, for some reason, Lilia-san gave me a word of restraint.
　When I turned around while tilting my head together with Zeke-san, Lilia-san and Luna Maria-san had stunned expressions on their faces.

''What are Kite-san and Zeke doing since just now?
'What?　No, Zeke-san explained the Treasure Festival to me...
''Well Zeke isn't supposed to be able to speak in the first place, so how does Miyama-sama understand Zeke's explanation?''
It's just that my body language is kind of... but...

　The two people who are sincerely asking me in a strange way, I return the words while tilting my head.
　Then Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san look at each other and make a somewhat dumbfounded expression.

''........Miss, do you understand?''
"...no, I can only see Zeke nodding, shaking his head, and occasionally moving his hands...

　Oh, that's right.
　It's a good thing that you're able to read what Mr. Zeke wants to say to you not with words, but with emotions, and because the gestures are added to that, I thought it was very easy to understand, but from the point of view of Lilia and the others, Mr. Zeke gestured and I was the one. It looks like we're talking to each other.

''I see, Zeke the reason you want to take the lead in escorting Miyama-sama is because you don't have to write to have a conversation...''
....

　After receiving Lunamaria-san's words, Sieg-san nods deeply once, and for some reason, she turns to me with a huff and waves her hand with a slightly panicked look on her face.
　Then he tells me it's not just because it's convenient for me, but because he likes it humanly.
　Probably he's worried that I've been hurt by his current affirmation, but I'm strangely embarrassed to hear such a thing from a beautiful woman like Zeke.

　It is very easy to talk to Ms. Zeke, so whenever I see her on a daily basis I talk to her, but.......Ms. Zeke is a kind person, so she doesn't react like that, but to be honest, there is a part of me that is worried about whether I am becoming a nuisance.
　However, I was very happy to find out that Zeke-san, who has talked to me the most in the mansion with the exception of Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san by his current actions, feels good about me.

　Dear Mom and Dad - Zeke-san has told me a lot about the Treasure Festival. Also, I'm happy to say - I think I'm getting along with Mr. Zeke.
