Chapter Title: Serena’s Thoughts
★
I came back from the Valley of the Winds, and when I returned home, I found myself alone and confined in my room.
Elt’s goal was to make a contract with a spirit to leave this village.
If it had been a low or intermediate level spirit, I could have told him he wasn’t ready yet and held him back…….
「It’s unheard of for the first contracted spirit to be a Spirit King (Queen)!」
From the first time I met him, I was strangely curious about this human.
He was a boy with a unique vibe, not unlike the opposite sex elves I grew up with in the village.
For some reason, I couldn’t take my eyes off him and always followed his figure.
I remember Elt fighting with my brother at the welcome party.
His swordsmanship was poor at first, but he gradually surpassed my brother and finally turned the tables on him.
My brother’s swordsmanship is the best in the elven village. I don’t know how he did it, but he absorbed it in no time at all.
When the elves around me told me that my brother was betting on the “prize”, my face turned red.
He had always said that if someone wanted to date Serena, they would have to defeat him first.
If Elt won, he would have to go on a date as a prize. However, I didn’t find it strange that I didn’t mind it at that time, and found myself rooting for Elt more than my brother.
The rest of the days were fun.
I went hunting with Elt as he invited me, and we were always together.
The other elves seemed to be interested in Elt, but I didn’t want to give up my spot next to him.
One day. My brother asked me, “Are you planning to follow Elt?”
I felt as if my heart was gripped by those words. I have a strong desire to be with Elt. But…….
「I have a duty to take care of my father’s illness….」
The words I spoke at that time naturally leaked out.
Yes, there is no option and I can’t to go with him. My father has a bad disease and is physically disabled.
I have to pick the herbs regularly to make the medicine.
In the heat of the moment, I forgot to do the obvious. Elt wants to go out. He’s decided that he’s going to leave this village soon.
When I realized this, I made sure that I wouldn’t be attracted to Elt any more.
However, once I became aware of my feelings, it was too late. In direct contrast to my rejection, my mind and body wanted Elt.
When I stood in front of him, my calm self flew away.
Even at the bottom of the valley, I tried to hold Elt back, “Don’t go!”
What would have happened if Marie hadn’t interfered?
Did Elt worry just because he was kind?
In any case, I couldn’t put it into words, so they just disappeared with the wind…….
A few days passed, and the village became noisy.
Elt and Marie had hunted down a large number of monsters and offered them to the village.
Some of the monsters were of a high level that we could not even hope to defeat. This is proof that the contract between Elt and Marie-chan is a solid one.
The two of them leaning against each other were smiling as if they thought of each other as partners, not as a contractor and a spirit.
As I approached them, I said, “That’s great, Elt! Marie-chan, you’re the queen of spirits”, exaggerating my surprise.
When Elt moved away from Marie-chan, he talked to me. He looked like he wanted to say something, but I could see that he was wondering whether he should say it or not.
I didn’t want to hear what Elt had to say, so I ended the conversation and walked away.
In the evening, a banquet was held.
During the day, all the elves in the village worked together to dismantle the monsters that Elt and Marie has hunted.
Even so, there was still some meat that could not be processed, so father announced that he would hold a banquet.
The feast was in full swing. I kept my distance from Elt as much as possible while I drank with other elves of the same sex.
Elt served us the finest liquor in the world. As I poured it down my throat, I became intoxicated with its rich flavor.
I wanted to drink and feel good, so I let my drunkenness get the better of me and joined in the fun with the other elves.
After a while, father called out for everyone’s attention.
The place became quiet, everyone looked at my father and Elt was standing next to him. And…….
「Elt will leave the village tomorrow.」
My mind went blank. I knew that Elto would be the first to tell me before he left. No……. There was a hint of that.
For the past few days, Elt had been paying attention to me and seemed to be looking for the right time to talk to me.
Something popped inside me. I grabbed the alcohol and chugged it down, then crowded over to Elt.
I don’t know what I said, because I was so drunk that I couldn’t make sense of my own words and couldn’t stop myself from acting.
Every time I said something, Elt’s face would get troubled, and everyone around me would blush for some reason. I remember that I clung to Elt and shed some tears…….
The next thing I knew, I was asleep in my room.
My head hurt like hell, and I felt nauseous. Still, I managed to get up.
I could see everyone outside and I had to see Elt off.
I left the house and headed for the square. At that time, for some reason, the elves of the same sex cheered me on and said, “Good luck,” while the elves of the opposite sex shed tears and said, “Elt, is taking our Serena…….”
When I arrived at the plaza, Elt, Marie, father and brother were already there.
Around them, elves were gathering to say goodbye to Elt.
I approach the four of them. I don’t know what to say….. I have no intention of exposing myself to any more ugliness like I did last night. I don’t remember what I said, but it was the most embarrassing memory I have ever had in my life.
When I approached, both Elt and Marie-chan blushed and gently looked away.
I looked at my father and brother to see what was going on…….
My father looks at me as if he is watching over his grown daughter.
My brother looks at me with tears of blood streaming down his face.
The elves around me muttered in secret as they looked at me.
The elves have good ears and can pick up the sound no matter how low you whisper.
「She’s surprisingly bold.」「That was a passionate confession.」「Elt is very manly.」
Something about it makes me break out in a cold sweat. What did I do when I was drunk?
I felt embarrassed by my surroundings and the stares from Elt. As I was trying to decide whether or not to leave, Elt came up to me. And………….
「Ah, Serena. Are you sober yet?」
「Y, yeah. My head still hurts, but that’s not a problem.」
This awkwardness is more problematic than the headache. What the hell is this?
Anyway, the first thing to do now is to send Elt off with a smile. I’ll think about it later.
As I was thinking this, Elt reached out his hand to me. Was it a goodbye handshake?
I was touched by Elt’s large hands, which I hadn’t touched in a long time, and made eye contact with him. I can’t help but feel sad when I think about saying goodbye to him…….
「I can’t answer Serena’s question right now. But from now on, we’re going to be traveling together as friends, so please take care of us.」
「Huh?」
While everyone around me was watching. Only my questioning voice echoed through the place.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
