In the gondola, which doesn't rock, I look at the scenery with my little dragon, who has missed me completely and is sitting on my shoulder.

''When I look at it this way, the Kingdom of Symphonia is lush and green, isn't it?

　Although the Kingdom of Sinfonia has developed as a royal capital, it is very lush and beautiful when viewed from above.
　It's not just the wildness that makes you feel like you're in an uncharted territory, but the scenery that gives you the impression that they're taking care of nature.

''Yes, the Kingdom of Symphonia is home to the largest elven forest in the human world, and is a country with a great deal of nature.
As I thought, part of that is due to the fact that the Kingdom of Sinfonia has a close relationship with the Lord of the Worlds.

　Receiving my words, Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san return my words of explanation.

'The Elves in particular have a strong belief in the Lord of the Realm, and the Treasure Festival is also considered a festival to give thanks to the Lord of the Realm for their fertility.
....

　Zeke nodded in strong affirmation to Lunamaria-san's words.
　Apparently, he really is equal to a god to the elven race.

''As I recall, I heard from Kronor-san that the world king is a spirit of the world tree, is that related to that area?
Yes, the elves lost the forest they used to live in due to the invasion of the former Demon King's army. After they learned of this, the King of the World knew about it, and after a treaty of friendship was signed, he used his power to create a vast forest for the elves. From then on, the Elves could rightly call him a god, and they worshiped him strongly.
The Elves are a large race, but no Elvish chief has called himself a king since the Treaty of Friendship. Perhaps it proves that to the elves, the only king they have is the Lord of the realm.

　It seems that the world king is the great benefactor of the race itself to the elves, and that's why they believe in him so strongly.
　But even so, creating the world's largest forest, the Sixth King really does have an extraordinary power, doesn't he?

Incidentally, it was the Kingdom of Sinfonia that provided the land, and since then, the King of the World has sent his warriors, spirits and fairies to the Kingdom of Sinfonia, and the Kingdom of Sinfonia has developed a food culture that is extremely rich in crops.

　I see, I understand what Lilia-san meant earlier when she said that the Kingdom of Symphonia has a close relationship with the World King.
　I remember hearing that there is no fertility god in the Kingdom of Sinfonia, so I guess the one who brings fertility to this country is the world king.
　I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it.















　I'm sure you'll be able to see the vast forest and the wooden town in the middle of it all.
　Some of the buildings look like log cabins, others look like towers made of wood, and in the center of the city sits a huge tree that looks like it's several hundred meters tall.
　It's not just the same size as a large village, but it's also different from the human race's.

''It's amazing........all made of wood?''
It's not everything, but it's as much with nature as possible.

　The white dragon landed in a place that looks like the entrance to the city. It was amazing to see it from the sky, but standing in front of it like this is an overwhelming sight.
　It seems that Kusunoki-san felt the same way, and he also seemed to be moved by the experience, muttering about it.

　It would have been nice if we could have stepped into the city of the elves with a renewed sense of the other worldliness, but before we could do that, we had a problem.

''Kyu~!
'Well...'

　The little dragon that took a liking to me won't leave me.
　I have a sensitivity magic that allows me to feel directly and at the same time understand my emotions.
　It's a very good thing that the little dragon was very pleased with it, it stayed on my shoulder during the whole move, and even now it's still clinging to my clothes and won't leave me.

''Miyama-senpai, you've missed me with all your might, haven't you?''

　Just as Yuzuki-san said, your lady is trying to pull them apart somehow, but the little dragon is not listening to you at all.
　You can't enter the city of elves without convincing this little dragon first.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get in, but the fact is that this baby dragon is not my pet, it's the baby of a flying dragon flight, so I can't just take it without permission.

''Don't worry. I'll be able to see you again when I return and I'll come to see you after I return to the capital.
Coo.
Yeah, so you'll have to listen to your own people.
Cui.

　The little dragon looked very sad, but he managed to convince me of my words and gave a small nod.
　And then he weakened his grip on my clothes and........

Cuh!
Huh?

　He suddenly bit me on the neck.
　I was startled for a moment, but he didn't set his teeth up or anything, he just bit me sweetly twice and then left.
　What was that?　I'm not sure, but the fact that the lady is surprised may be an act of affection or something.

　Anyway, that's how the little dragon moved away from me, and he waved me off while giving me a squeal of regret as he waved his hand.
　He was really a cute kid. This flying dragon flight has a shop in the royal capital, so I'll go back to visit them occasionally.
























　Once again, I stepped into the city of the elves.
　There is something called magic in this world, and the big city has a warding spell that is said to be put up, there is no such thing as an ostentatious castle wall, we were able to easily enter.

I'm going to meet up with the people who will be guiding me here.
Are you a guide?

　Lunamaria said that although her father was a half-elf, she had never been to an elven city... did she know any elven people?　Or are they a vendor like that kind of guide?
　I was about to open my mouth to ask Luna Maria a question, and at the right moment, I heard a loud voice that often came out of nowhere.

'The Kingdom of Symphonia!'
The Duke of Albert and his entourage!
" " "?
"....!

　The voice that came out of nowhere startled me, Kusunoki-san, and Yuzuki-san, and for some reason Zeke-san also had a startled expression on her face.
　And when I moved my gaze towards the voice, I saw two shadows rushing towards us from the distance.

　

''Ha!''
Touche!

　Crossing in the air, they turn around and land on their feet in a single rotation. The two elves pose while standing back to back.

''Welcome to the elven city of 'Rigforesia'~!
".........

　How the hell am I supposed to react to this? It's different. It's obvious that they're not as excited as we are.
　And Zeke's head is in his hands, and it seems that these people are....

"...Oh, what?　I feel like you're kind of drawn to me.
Hmm, maybe this pose is a little too sophisticated?
".........

　As expected of an elf, I should say, the blonde man and the red-haired woman are both tremendously beautiful, but what can I say, the tension is terribly out of place.
　In front of us who are stunned, Zeke-san, who was holding his head in his hands, waveringly stands up and draws two slender swords.

''........''
Oh, what?　Zeke?　What's wrong with you, you look so scary.
'Haha, I'm sure he's embarrassed!
But~ I feel like they're going to cut me off at any moment...
Ha ha ha, well, wait, Zeke. We'll talk about it calmly...
.................
"Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

　Zeke-san, who had turned into a shura, attacked the two elves, and a miserable scream rang out.

''.........Um, Lilia-san. Could those people be........
Yeah, well, I'm Zeke's 'parents'.
".........

　What can I say, I mean...there are no words for it.
　It would be nothing but shame play from the daughter's point of view that her parents appeared in a ridiculously high spirits when she tried to attend a festival in her hometown with her acquaintances.
　Zeke's sad feelings could be fully conveyed from the way he was angry with his face red and angry, even without the use of sensory magic, etc.

　Dear Mom and Dad - we've arrived in the elven city of Rigforesia. And - I met Zeke's parents.
