Chapter 55 It Seems that Im Getting Along with Sieg-san (1/2)

After Lilia-san and Lunamaria-san’s battle (?) settled down, looking at the two of them who had returned to how they usually were, I began thinking about something.

I still don’t know when Isis-san will come to visit so I’ll put it aside for now, but since I’m talking to them now, I think I should talk about the Sacred Tree Festival which I’ve been thinking about for a while now.

[I heard about this a while ago, but there seems to be a festival called the Sacred Tree Festival in the Elven Forest.]

[The Sacred Tree Festival huh, yes, it certainly is right around this time of year. I’ve never participated in it before, but I’ve heard that it’s the biggest festival for the elves.]

[Arehh? Lilia-san has never participated in this festival before?]

I had the impression that Lilia-san was someone who knew everything in the world, and when I heard that it was a pretty famous festival, so it was quite surprising that LIlia-san had never participated in it.

Lunamaria-san realized that the Sacred Tree Festival I had just mentioned had something to do with the earlier suggestion of helping Lilia-san have a change of pace, so she nodded once before speaking in her tone that she usually has.

[……I can understand why you’re always forgetting about it, but in case you forgot, My Lady used to be a princess and the head of the Knights Order. So, she didn’t have that much opportunity to go out of the royal capital.]

[I feel like you’ve added a few unnecessary comments there but…… Yes, it certainly is as Luna said, I haven’t traveled outside the royal capital very often. Half-baked it may be, I’m still royalty, and I was left out in regards to diplomacy-related stuff.]

[Even if she looks like a woman who thinks with her muscles and grew up in some kind of wilderness, My Lady is actually like a doll trapped in a box.]

[……I would resolutely deny the first half of what she said, but the second half is generally true.]

It’s easy to forget because of how friendly and approachable demeanor, but Lilia-san is a member of the royal family who has right to the throne, and she’s in a slightly difficult position of being the King’s older sister, and in addition to that, the King dotes on her so much that he didn’t want to let her out of the royal capital very much.

As a result, although she may have traveled with Lunamaria-san before, it’s not very often, and there are still many areas which she only knows only through the information she heard.

[Putting that aside, does that mean Kaito-san would like to participate in the Sacred Tree Festival?]

[Y- Yeah, I heard that it’s a famous festival, so I’d like to see it if possible……]

[……Isn’t it alright? The Elven Forest is famous for its beauty and its abundance of trees, and since both My Lady and Miyama-sama have been so busy lately, wouldn’t it be just right for a change of pace?]

When I nod at Lilia-san who asked that while tilting her head, Lunamaria-san also added some favorable words.

Seeing her glance and the nod she sent towards me, it seems that Lunamaria-san agrees that this festival is a good change of pace for Lilia-san.

The conversation would go on smoothly…… is what I thought would happen, but Lilia-san was looking at the two of us like she’s thinking about what we could be up to now.

[……That certainly is a great choice if we want to go sightseeing. However, putting aside attending the Sacred Tree Festival, I’ve never visited the Elven Forest before, so I’m a little nervous.]

[Don’t you have any information about it, Lunamaria-san?]

I had heard that Lunamaria-san was a half-elf, half-demon hybrid before, so I asked her if she knew anything about the Elven Forest since she had elven blood in her veins, but Lunamaria-san shook her head.

[My father certainly was a half-elf, but he passed away when I was very young…… My mother may have brought me to attend the festival in the Demon Realm several times, but I’ve never visited the Elven Forest before.]

[……Is that so.]

[Yes, since the Sacred Tree Festival is mainly a festival for the Elves, the people who know more about it must be a pure-blooded elf.]

Even though this country apparently have good relations with them, but there was still a part of us that would feel uneasy if we go to a place where we lack information.

Lilia-san may have agreed with participating, but because she’s in charge of us, it seems that she wants more information in advance.

That’s when a woman suddenly came to my mind.

[……Would Sieg-san know about this?]

[Indeed, Sieg is a pure-blooded elf that was born in the Elven Forest…… Luna, around this time…… is Sieg in the middle of patrolling?]

[Yes, perhaps…… I’ll call for her.]

Apparently, Sieg-san seems to be from the Elven Forest and seems to be the perfect person to ask about the Sacred Tree Festival.

After receiving Lilia-san’s words, Lunamaria-san went to call Sieg-san.

Sieg-san is one of the people working at Lilia-san’s mansion, and it was quite fortunate that she’s an easy person to ask questions to, as I’ve talked to her a lot.

Briefly explaining the situation to Sieg-san who arrived a few moments later, it looks like she understood as she nodded her head, and after sitting down on the reception room’s couch, she looked ready to answer our questions.

……She just sat down next to me like it was obvious, but isn’t her vigilance to me too weak? Ugghh… Something smells good…… Calm down…… Keep calm……

[S- Speaking of which, I don’t even know where the Elven Forest is in the first place, but is it far from here?]

[……………….]

[I see. Then, would it be difficult to go there by carriage?]

[……………….]

[Arriving there by flight…… Through something like magic?]

[……………….]

[Eh? Dragon? I see…… So there’s also that way of travelling around here huh.]
