Beate also wants to get along with her because of her personality like that, so she persists without punishment.

'Don't say that. Even if it's just a simple story.''

”No.

Meena rejected the princess's plea with shorter words than before.

Sydonier just gives her a ”bad person to ask” look and doesn't try to help her out.

As for Val, he interrupts to say that he can't look at her.

'Meena. Just give us a little something simple to talk about.

...... Yes.

Meena reluctantly replied to his request and asked Beate.

'What would you like to talk about?'

'Um, well, then I want to hear about the culture of the elves!　Something that actually surprised me when I heard about meat in general.

It was a surprisingly decent answer, Bal, Sidonier and Meena felt, but no one dared to put it into words.

'The culture of the elves, or ...... So let's talk about how it's actually different from the humans' image of them.

I want to hear it!

Beate clapped her hands and shouted and reminded Zenda, ”Your Highness, you've had a go.

The princess tried to ignore her, but the maid came around to the front of her and warned her again.

'Wow, okay,'

Even a free-spirited princess succumbs to the dignity of a fierce man of history as far away as her mother.

(I've seen the amazing part.)

For the first time, Val almost applauded Zenda when he first saw Beate listening to someone else's attention in a way that broke from him.

'Okay?'

Meena asks the princess to ignore the air.

'If there's one thing humans might find surprising, it's that they make paper and fiber from plants.

'What?　An elf would do that?

Not only the princess, but also the Sidonier and the maidservants, who had been in the air for some time now, were awestruck.

Val had reacted exactly the same way when Meena had first told him about it.

'Sometimes we have to thin out to maintain an ideal environment. Sometimes we eliminate plants that could be harmful if left untreated. In reality, they are not that different from humans. But we don't cut down the forest for material, and we use what we think we can use even if we exclude it.

That's right: ......

I suppose I should say I'm an elf in that regard.

Beate, Sidonier was greatly impressed.
