100 [91] Elven Village.txt (2/2)

The male elf reminded Meldina repeatedly not to return, and then ran off without a sideways glance.

From his appearance, I could not sense any malice towards Meldina, and the eyes of the residents of the village, who are paying attention to us in the current exchange, do not seem to have any negative feelings in them.

'Something is different from what I thought. Since we were talking about escaping the village on your own, I thought you would be more likely to hit out at Mel sister with bad words and sarcasm...

It must have been much different from the situation he himself had imagined.

When Oma, who looked a little amused, let out a muttered voice, Kunalia, who seemed to have imagined the same situation as him, shook her head coyly.

'Well, yes. In a manner of speaking, I'm sure you were thinking of me and my marriage to a high elf, but...'

In the gaze of Coonaria and Oma, what could be heard interrupting Meldina's words, who was holding her head and letting out a sigh, was the sound of explosions and a voice that must have been running across the earth at full speed, almost like a yell.

When I turned my head in that direction, a different male elf from the one before was rushing at Meldina here ──while spreading his arms.

Vilm and the others stepped forward to protect Meldina from the strange man, but she herself took a form to block it.

''...Huh. Hon, you haven't changed.

With a grim expression on his face, Meldina let out a deeper sigh than before, and with a familiar look on his face, he shaved his body off the track of the lunge and set up a foot sweep to knock him over.

The momentum was so great that the elf took the form of diving from his face and slid down the ground in a reverse shrimp position.

The elf didn't even twitch as he fell, but after a few seconds or so, he randomly got up and brushed the dust from his clothes before turning to Meldina and opening his mouth.

'Oh dear, isn't it awful that it's been so long? Meldina.

He may think he is putting on a serious face, but due to the large amount of dust and scrapes on his face, you can only think he is trying to make you laugh.

You still haven't recovered from your habit of hugging your father even in public. Can't you get rid of your children?

”What's wrong with loving a pretty girl!

I can't feel even a shred of hesitation from him as he says it so matter-of-factly.

Perhaps it is an exchange that has been repeated many times.

Meldina turned half-eyed in a dumbfounded manner, but he didn't seem to be upset at all.

'Mm, by the way, my daughter. I know Misselio-sama, but are those people your friends?

Oh, so we can finally move on.

Relieved that her father's excitement had finally subsided, Meldina regained her composure and began to introduce Vilm and the others.

I'll introduce you. First of all, this is Wilm. He was the one who helped me when I was captured by the slavers. After that, he taught me things I didn't know, and he's been very helpful to me.

Uh....

For a moment, I felt his expression, which was smiling in a good mood, froze, but I wonder if it was my imagination.

Incidentally, the reason why Meldina introduced Virum before the spirit beast, Fumil, was because of their relationship as brother and sister.

''The one next to Virum is Fumil-sama. Believe it or not, it's the spirit beast that controls the wind. Don't be rude.''

What... what...

(Ah... Well, I'd be surprised if I found out it was Spirit Beast-sama, right? I hope I don't start saying weird things...)

No wonder he was astonished as he resurrected from his petrified state.

After all, the pinnacle of spirits, the object of their faith, was now right in front of them...

'You came back to introduce me to your boyfriend?

'No, where does that leave me?

No, apparently the appearance of someone who looked like his daughter's boyfriend was a more serious incident for him.
