Meku-sama...
Oh?　You are Lema. You have grown up. You've come a long way from the General, haven't you?

　Apparently, that female elf general called Rema was an acquaintance of Mek's.

''Mek-sama!

　Shouting, General Lema tries to hug Meku.
　But just before the hug, Meku's body turns into a plush toy.

'Huh?'
Oh, no, it's wearing off.

　General Lema looks down.

'Um, where's Master Mek?'
I'll do it. I'm Meku.

　General Lema's expression froze. For a moment, he remained silent.

Mek-sama!

　I exclaimed.

　○

Oh, the curse that made me look like that....

　General Lema looked at Meku and said that with tears in his eyes.

　For now, we were let into the elven country with General Lema's guidance.
　Once Meku was seen in his original form, they seemed to believe that he was Meku, even though he was in his plush form.
　And as for me and Lenya, when Mek convinced me to let him in because he was trustworthy, he let me in.
　Well, it was just that when we walked around town, we got some pretty hostile looks from them, and it was uncomfortable.

　Currently we were sent to the royal castle of the elven royal capital. We were having a discussion with General Lema in a room in that castle.

I'm glad to see that you've returned in whatever form you were in. I was afraid you were already dead.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I could do to return home with this kind of appearance, and I was going to go back after I had completely lifted the curse. But under the circumstances, I couldn't overlook it and decided to come.
''Well that's why the curse has been temporarily lifted by the skills that your people have,''
Yes. That's right. His name is Tetsuya Takahashi.
Mr. Takahashi? My name is Rema Oledore. Thank you for breaking Meku's curse, even if only temporarily. I believe Meku, who is a human, because he said that he is worthy of your trust. I would like to ask for your support.

　He asks me to shake his hand.

Nice to meet you.

　I agreed to shake his hand.

'I understand that the beastman over there is also a friend of Mek-sama's.
"For my apprentice, not my friend!　I'm Lenya. It's nice to meet you.
Your apprentice........is it? It's nice to meet you.

　Raina also shook hands with General Lema.

'So Meku-sama but when and by whom was the curse placed?
A woman called us, but I don't suppose you have time to go into details now. We're here to avenge our hero.
Well if you are coming, Meku-sama, I have the strength of a hundred men.
Where are the heroes now?
We're told that they've conquered Rakfena and are marching on Vraxel, southwest of King's Landing.
'From Rakfena to Braxel, still a long way to go, but perhaps you're planning to come to King's Landing?
I don't know. It's just that they're so unpredictable, you know, and they miss in every place that you'd expect them to attack.
"Hmm.

　Probably, from a soldier's point of view, the actions of a brave man who is just an amateur don't make sense. Maybe they're attacking a castle that was randomly nearby or something like that.

''How much longer until the brave men reach Braxel?''
It could take seven days.
Then you're not too late. Go to Vraxel's rescue. We'll avenge the hero.
If you wish to avenge your heroes, I can lend you some of my best men.
Huh?　I look like this. Do you have anyone to follow me?
That's all right, sir. They are all loyal to their country, and if I explain the situation properly, they will be happy to comply with Meku's instructions.
Well, that's good to know. How many people can you lend me?
I'll let you have 100 men.
Hmm, you are very promising. Well, I guess we'll leave tomorrow.
'Ha!　I'm going to start making preparations in a hurry!

　General Lema said, and began to prepare.
　Tomorrow we were to pass through here and head to a place called Braxel.
