No, you don't need to... No, I get it. I'll be right there, so I want you to get ready to go.

He would not want anyone other than those invited directly by the chief to enter the sanctuary.

The high elf reflexively tried to refuse Wyrm's conditions, but he grudgingly listened to the chief's orders, perhaps thinking that the first thing to do was to carry out his orders.

After that, he called out to Cunaria and the others who were preparing breakfast, and after waking up Miselio, who was still lying down in his bedroom, Virum and the others went to their sanctuary, accompanied by the high elves from earlier.

The place is surrounded by large trees that block out the light of the sun.

If you listen to just that, you might get the impression that you are in a forest surrounded by darkness, but the place maintains a certain amount of brightness thanks to a mysterious light.

If you follow the light, you'll find that the tree is more than two sizes larger than the large tree that surrounds it, emitting a faint light blue light.

And a few high elves had gathered at the base of the giant tree.

''Welcome. All of us High Elves welcome you, Spirit Beast-sama and Miserio-sama.

One of the advancing high elf men bows his head with words that include a clear rejection of all but Fumil and Miserio.

The short-tempered Oma's cheeks twitch at this blatant attitude, but thanks to the appeasement of Meldina and Cunaria next to him, he somehow manages not to pounce on them, I guess.

In contrast, Virum was calmly observing the high elves.

The magic power contained within them and their every move when they move, give you an idea of their abilities to a certain extent.

There were those who directed something close to killing intent at me, but I didn't forget to mislead them into misinterpreting our abilities by not daring to show a reaction and simply pass it off as a matter of course.

''What an attitude you have towards my invited guests!

A shout from the man who came out from the back brought all the high elves around him to their knees.

The one who emerged from the darkness was a high elf who looked a bit younger than them.

Although he had a similar face and costume to the surrounding High Elves, the indigo ball-like stone embedded in his forehead indicated that he was different from the other High Elves.

''Long time no see, my fiancé,''

'I thought I refused to take you up on that offer. Lady Harzun.

While the surrounding High Elves were staring at Meldina, the man called Harzang did not break into a joyful smile.

''Kukkukkukkuk. That attitude in front of me, the next chief of the High Elves...you are indeed fit to be my wife.

”Thank you for the compliment. But I have no intention of doing so, so please give it up.

”Your opinion doesn't matter. I asked you to take you as my wife. You will have no other choice but to be my wife.

”To be frank, I have no love for Lady Harzun, who has absolutely no regard for the opinions of any woman I would like to take as my wife, so I will refuse at all costs.

Every time Meldina utters a word of rejection, the anger of the High Elves who are refraining from being around him grows, but they seem unable to move as the party involved and the son of the chieftain, Harzang, does not break into a smile.

Wyrm and the others also didn't try to interfere since Meldina didn't make any pretense of asking for help, and they kept their eyes on Hartshan.

The one who broke first was Hartshan.

''Huh-uh-uh. 'Pfft. Well, good. It's not for nothing that I have called you here. I would like to apologize for the fact that some of our High Elf tribe members went out of control and caused a lot of trouble to the spirit animal.

If that was the case, you didn't have time to worry about me, did you? It's not an honorable act to keep the Spiritual Beast-sama waiting and seduce a woman.

Letting out a sigh when it was finally over, Meldina threw one last sarcastic remark and stepped back to get out of Hartshan's sight.

''Hmm, your future wife is right. All of you, invite your guests to my room. Refrain from behaving rudely. Is that clear?

””Ha!”

After hearing the high elves' reply, Hartshan stepped forward to follow them.
