The next morning, we decided to take a look around the Elf village, which was in the midst of its once-in-a-decade festival. Yesterday it was too dark to make out much, but the houses in the village were colourfully decorated with many flowers and ornaments, and the atmosphere was very festive.
Just in case you’re wondering, I slept in a different room.
Even though that pervert was egging me on, I put up with it and didn’t crawl out of bed at night.
Well, I don’t want Anna to think bad of me, Maybe she likes me as a person of the opposite sex. Unless, of course, I’m being conceited.
That said, if I crossed the line, there was no taking it back. I’m not sure I can stop myself if I go that far.
And if you ask me if Anna will leave everything behind and come with me when that happens, the answer is definitely no. Watching Anna so far, I’m certain about that.
However, from the time she woke up in the morning and was eating breakfast, something was wrong with Anna. She was kind of awkward, or something like that.
Did something happen?
As I walked down the street with Anna, she said whatever she wanted to me, but I just replied appropriately.
“Hmm, is that the girl Allen-san’s?”
“That’s right. Anna-sama is my precious lady.”
That’s not something I would deny.
“Oh, isn’t she quite beautiful?”
“Oh, surprisingly. Allen was the type to choose by face.”
“He didn’t even look at the elves in the village.”
“Come on, how about it?”
I didn’t choose her because of her face, but I don’t think she would believe me if I told her that I fell in love with Anna’s inner being. Besides, it was a little embarrassing to mention it when Anna was standing next to me.
“But then you have to protect the girl. Here, the girl there. Come here.”
Anna looked dubious when she was called, but the young beautiful elf woman – who must have been over 400 years old – led her into a building.
And soon, she came out with a crown of flowers on her head.
“That’s? Oh, Anna-sama. It suits you very well.”
“Oh, oh, thank you. Allen. And, umm, this is?”
“That’s you see, is the requirement for a man and a woman to be together at this festival. The boy desperately protects the girl he falls in love with, and the girl who gets protected and keeps the crown intact until the end gives it to the boy she loves in front of the spirits, who will then bless the girl with their blessing and the boy and girl will be married.” (TL:- Finally, the trap of the festival.)
Hey! I didn’t know there was an event like that?
“There are five couples participating this year. By the way, don’t worry, they’ll only throw fruit at you. Now, get to the central square!”
“Oh, that, Allen. Will you protect me?”
“That’s! Of course.”
I was completely fooled. No one told me it was such an event.
But even fruits can lead to injuries, depending on where it hits. If I were to leave Anna with a swollen face, it would be a serious matter.
So I made up my mind.
＊＊＊＊
And when we got to the central square, the other four groups had already gathered. As typical of elves, beautiful men and women were gathered there. They seemed to be couples regardless of age, ranging from 40 years old at the bottom to 500 years old at the top.
Then the beautiful music reverberates, and we danced to it.
Even if it’s called dancing, I just moved my feet as Anna told me to, so I guess I wasn’t really dancing, but I guess I looked like I was trying.
But the thought of Anna in my arms, and the soft, pleasant smell of Anna that I suddenly felt, made my heart race.
Do you know how I feel right now, can I protect Anna from fruits? The event began. If I can protect Anna for one hour, we will win.
When the gongs rang and signalled the start of the attack, the other four groups suddenly started running at high speed using magic.
“Huh!?”
I let out a yelp of surprise, but immediately fruit came flying from Anna’s blind spot at a tremendous speed.
“Anna-sama! Excuse me.”
I hurriedly knocked it off, and in a panic, I picked Anna up by her side and ran off at once.
“Hey, Allen! This is!”
Anna, looking flustered, protests in my arms, but I’m in no position to say anything about that.
“Anna-sama! We have to run.”
Then, this time, water spears came flying at us, blocking our way.
Hey! Wait! I thought fruit was the only thing you threw at us!
“As long as you don’t get hurt or break things, anything goes!”
The elf who seemed to have thrown the water magic told me so.
If that’s the case, I will also!
I created a smokescreen and started running before it disappeared. Then I ran through the village and hid behind a building.
“Ha~a ha~a ha~a, did we manage to shake them off?”
“Oh, oh. That, Allen….”
In my arms, Anna is staring at me, blushing in embarrassment.
Ugh, so cute.
I stared at Anna like that and froze at her foul cuteness.
“H-Hey, Allen? Well, umm, I-I can walk on my own.”
“Oh, I-I’m sorry.”
When she said that, I hurriedly set Anna down and let her stand.
“And, umm, thank you. F-For saving me.”
“No, me too, that, I’m sorry.”
“No, umm, well, sorry.”
“Yes?”
“No, that’s, w-wasn’t I heavy?”
Anna says something like that to me with her face turning bright red. (TL:- cuteness overdosed.)
Were you aiming for that? Could it be that Anna is doing that in order to destroy my reason?
It was so destructive that such an impossible thought passed through my mind.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down and resisted the urge to push her down.
“No, Anna-sama, Anna-sama is so light that it’s okay for hours.”
“H-How many hours will you!?”
For some reason, Anna panicked and shouted out. I looked around to see if her voice had caught any attention.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, there was the figure of the pervert with a grin and a nasty smile on his face. And for some reason, the other spirits are gathering one after another.
No-No way?
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! I heard that. I heard that!”
When he said that, that pervert suddenly gestured and made fun of me by imitating us while acting.
” ‘Honey, wasn’t I heavy?’ ‘Oh, my angel, you’re so light. I could take you like this and keep running for 100 years!’ ‘Oh, honey, that’s wonderful.’ “
Then the countless spirits that had gathered around the pervert imitated his gestures and performed the action in unison.
“Th-That!”
“H-Hey, Allen! The elves are!”
When I was told by Anna and looked around, I saw a group of grinning elves approaching us with the fruit of their choice in their hands.
“Let’s, Let’s run away.”
“Ah”
I pulled Anna’s hand and rushed away from the spot.
