I sit down in my pride and joy in my cowhide chair.........
How did this happen.........
This leaves me completely misunderstood by the three of you........
The childish older lord in front of me looks pleased, crunching down on the tea cakes in front of me and drinking a cup of tea and being relieved.

''........so what's the point?''
'Hmm?　What?　Oh, please give me more tea.
Get down on your own. No, I don't need to say I'm alone with you.
But we're alone, okay?

Yes, that's right. That's right.
This lord, after eliminating Wendy and White, the two of us entered the alchemy room, he wielded an amazing power that I don't even know if he had the authority of a lord or not.

''Hmph. Lords are great!''

I didn't understand what they were saying, but I listened to what they said quietly, so maybe it's a famous story that I just don't know about.

''Hmm. Well, what can I say?
Hmm?
You know what? You're not the one who saved me.
Well that's what happens?
It happens.

I got that thing by accident.....
It's true that I gave it to him, but I only gave it to him because I didn't want him to die.
We really only talked for a little, very little time, but I wondered if my sister would be like this if she were here.
That's why I didn't want her to die... maybe?
Well, it's not like I'm going to wake up dead when I can save you!　Yeah!

Thanks again. I wouldn't be alive today without you.
Don't worry about it. I just happened to get it and it helped me.

Jesus, what's going on with you?
I don't know, I'm feeling out of shape.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. "That's why it's such a valuable commodity, even within the kingdom, it's not allowed to be traded without permission.
Hmm?　So it's okay that you asked Hayato for a quest?
It's a contract that says I ask for quests, I pay for them, and everything I get is mine. It's not a deal for the elixir. The people who want it don't look good, but there aren't many noblemen who would want to fight in this town.
Well, is that...?

Even though there are Rainrich and Darwin, I would think that if it was a nobleman that I really wanted, I would think about it.
But I've decided that this country is well-disciplined and is ruled by a proper king.

'Well, you might be able to get it on the black market or at a black auction. It's a backstreet, so how many tens of millions of nolls it will cost depends on the times, and we don't even know when it will be available...''
You mean the back ones? Doesn't the kingdom deal with it?
'They seem to leave it as a necessary evil. Well, those in the king's vicinity and the nobility are all participating. Rumor has it that the king has an errand boy or not. It's the only way to get what you can't get, or what you want to get in secret, even though you have money. But you can't sell anything that's forbidden by law. Narcotics, or special protection animals, for example.
I see.
With your mouth, it's not like you got it behind your back, is it? You're truly a mystery to me.
Yeah. I'm only just finding out about it now. But I'm not going to tell you where it came from.
That's okay. I just don't want to be hated by the man who saved my life.
I don't hate you, though.

If it's worth that much, I can see why you'd be concerned about the source.
I'm sorry, but I can't tell anyone about it because it might invite a dangerous element.

''So, I'd like to thank you, but since you said you wouldn't mind if I talked to Hayato about it, I'd like you to accept the reward for the quest I was supposed to give Hayato.
You're going to give it to me and you're going to take it.
Of course. Oh, and if you'd rather it be in-kind, it's my--
No, that's okay, it's just in time.
'You can let me finish!　Let's enjoy this exchange!

No, I'm only losing money already, that exchange.
If someone who doesn't know it's become a regular occurrence hears it, I'm a real open pervert and pedophile.

'I really don't have to take it...'
Not so fast. It's not going to happen, because that would make me feel like I owe you something. I just want to be a normal human being with you.
As far as I'm concerned, it's a good thing you're alive and well, because you got along like a sister.
'I don't want a sister. Oh, but if you like being called that, should I keep calling you big brother?
Don't call me that. Oh, okay. I want the reward that Hayato was to receive. In fact, I won't take anything else.
What a waste.
Why do you think you're such a cute little kid on the outside, but your words and actions are such a disappointment...
'It's nice to be told you're pretty, but your children won't listen to you!　Do you think my body isn't good enough?
'You don't go into a shame, do you? Oh, it's too short. Not enough at all.

If Wendy is a watermelon, you're a sliced cucumber.

I'm a boner when I'm being serious.
... haha.
'Stop laughing through your nose!　That's sober and hurtful!

No, because I can't show any other reaction to it.
It's a halfling, so it's a halfling, so all sorts of small things.
And that's like bonkers and.........
It would be a reasonable way to deal with it, not to laugh at it, but to laugh at it.
Or would it have been better to look at it with pitying eyes?

''Hm. They're all. You can't find any good men in your tribe, and people think I'm a child. That's totally rude!
Well, don't be mad. Here. You want some snacks?
'Wow!　...haha!　Don't treat me like a child!
Sounds like fun.
'Oh so much fun!　I'm enjoying life now!

........That's right.
You carried the heavy responsibility of a lord with such a small body, and even though your body was poisoned, you didn't give up until the end.

''What's the matter with you, beckoning me?
Come on. I want to make love to you.
Good intentions, little man... hmm?

I take Oligor in my arms and place him on my lap and stroke his head.
He's really small........
If it's only height, it's smaller than White?
Even if you put him on your lap, it's easy to stroke his head.

"Oh, hey! What's the matter with you?　You don't mean to tell me you're going to love me, just stroke my head!
Yes,
"Phew!　The humans!　This is why the human race!
Well, he told me to be quiet and let him stroke me. This one has a reputation to match.
Not to your slaves!
Yes, but doesn't it feel good?
"..... No, it feels good. What a calming effect....

Oligor quickly meditates and lets his body stay with him.
The weight of the body is so heavy that you might just fall asleep.
Well, I don't mind falling asleep, though.
You would have been called around at the festival.
Since it's time for you to get some rest.

Itzki-san!　Are you okay!

But unfortunately, a sudden visitor appeared in this harmonious space.
''........Huh?''
Oh, Hayato?　Welcome home.

The person staring at me and Origor with a look of utter pride was Hayato, the man who saved me.
It's only for a short time, but it makes me feel nostalgic.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

I'm sorry. Huh?　That's not what I heard....
Who and what did you ask by the way?

It's kind of predictable, though.
Also, the door must have been locked, so it must be broken....
I'll have to fix it later.

'Well, Wendy told me that Itki-san was held captive by the Lord...'
'If I was locked up, I wouldn't be in my home alchemy...'
I thought it was odd.... I thought it was strange, but he had a very serious expression on his face. Well, what did he do to you?
He was patting his head.
He patted me on the head and I almost fell asleep.
What are the circumstances, haha!　I didn't think you were going out with him.
No, man.
'Oh, yes. 'Yes. 'Yes.'
'Hush. You don't have to deny it so forcefully, do you?

I don't want Hayato to recognize me as a pedophile, even for him.
At worst, the three of them could be teased, but Hayato, who is very serious, might take it seriously.

It's a good idea to have a seat at the table. It's a good idea to have a few things to talk about.
Oh, yes. Well,
I'll keep listening. Come on, give me a pat on the head!

After all, you like it, saying it's childish....
