Chapter 138
A storm passed by, but somehow Cecily was able to go through immigration. Since the judges all refused to do it, we started from the first step just like me, Marie, and Lina.
However, Keir only followed the due process, and Cecili even had a letter of approval from Arwen directly. Earlier, the examiner was like an asshole, and if you only have this one, it’s like a high pass.
“I won’t announce this, but I’m going to make a protest to the Queen. I have a speech to the public and I’ve done well, so I’ll be patient for a while.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s our fault, so we should take it sweetly. At this point, we can get rid of that guy too.”
“What if I fire him?”
Cecily pointed back and asked Keir, who was writing several documents. In the direction she was pointing, the stunned judge was being carried to the other elves.
It was only one kick, but it was strong enough to be smashed into a wall, so it seems that no matter how strong an elf he was, he was unable to avoid being stunned.
Keir looked at the direction Cecily was pointing and answered in a calm voice. It was a distinctive, mellow, relaxed tone of voice.
“Princess may know our ecology, but elves usually spend their entire lives in their profession. They don’t leave their seats unless they change their mind or unavoidable circumstances. However, they made a big mistake and were kicked out. In my case, I have a lot of problems. I can’t work in a job related to it, and in the worst case, I’ll be punished by cutting off my ear.”
“It’s the punishment for cutting off the ears… It’s probably the worst punishment for an elf. So what about that person?”
“You insulted a princess from a foreign country, so at least one ear will be cut off.”
As I’ve explained before, for an elf, ears are a part of the body that should
never be damaged . So cutting off the ear would be one of the most terrible punishments for an elf.
A deaf elf will not be treated like an elf and will be humiliated and despised for the rest of his life. The dark elf cut off his own ears, so it’s okay, but he’s advertising to the elves, ‘I’m a criminal’.
In the future, for the rest of his life, the judge will not be able to proudly reveal that he is an elf. It was a price befitting arrogance.
“I like that.”
“I’m glad you liked it.”
Cecily knew that too, so she looked satisfied. Thanks to Keir’s judo-ri treatment, only Arwen suffers, and the whole of Albenheim won’t be insulted.
There was a brief commotion, but she began to listen to Keir one by one about things to keep in mind. Another surprising thing is that he ‘considered’ Cecily.
No matter how much Cecily was the princess of Hellium, she seemed concerned that various difficulties would arise because she was a demon.
“Once you hear the speech, are you planning on staying for a few days?”
“I plan to return immediately after hearing the speech. I have no choice but to work at the academy.”
“Ah~ Come to think of it, did you say that you were admitted to Halo Academy?”
“Are you familiar with it?”
“The world has changed so much that if I don’t read the newspapers, I feel like I’m falling behind. Anyway, after hearing the speech and saying that you’re returning, I’ll issue you a permit. The same situation as before may happen, so keep the Queen’s approval letter here. With my approval letter…”
Is that person really an elf like the slapped judge? Although the judges were excessive, it is common for elves to view demons badly.
Cecily looked at Keir with a curious look as if she was thinking the same thing as me.
“You’re a little different from that judge? You said your name is Keir, right?”
“Yes. My name is Keir Windhofer. An ordinary Alvenheim warrior. And if you think that all elves are the same as the one over there, you are mistaken.”
“Have you also experienced tribal warfare?”
“Yeah.”
It was a short word, but that’s what made Keir even more special. The examiner over there was also a warrior who had experienced tribal warfare, but he had a completely different mindset.
“First of all, I sincerely welcome you to Alvenheim. Princess of Helium. It’s already late, but I hope you can see the beauty of Albenheim even now.”
“Thanks for the welcome. And guys? Me and Sir Ballak will be waiting over there, so you can come slowly.”
“yes.”
“And Keir… what’s your job title?”
“I used to be an inspector, but I became an inspector five minutes ago.”
“Pooh.”
In the end, I couldn’t stop laughing at the witty answer. Cecily was staring at Keir with a curious look while I looked away and muttered.
Then, with a small smile, he opened his mouth quietly.
“Okay. Judge. Please don’t let this happen again in the future. Okay?”
“Well. Due to the nature of the elves, it’s difficult to do so, so I think I’ll have to do it at least four times.”
“That’s an interesting answer. Sir Ballak?”
“Yes, Princess.”
“I hope you have a short but enjoyable trip.”
Keir got up from his seat, bent down to his waist, and looked out politely. It may be that his first impression was good, but the elegance of an elf was reflected in each movement.
A unique person who seems frivolous at times, but is firm at times, and is not clogged up. Even if you’re not an elf, that kind of personality isn’t common, but it seems to stand out even more because you’re an elf.
“Are you going to return to your home country after the speech is over?”
“Yes. Oh, are there any special products that you must buy when you come to Albenheim?”
“Honestly, if you buy anything, it will be a special product. The lady would look better in a dress woven in white silk. Since there is only one day left until the speech, the recommended place is…”
Since it was her second visit, Lina passed without any problems, and she kindly explained the details to Marie. Marie also set foot in Albenheim for the first time, so she listened with a little excitement.
I felt a little uncomfortable seeing my girlfriend talking honestly with another man, especially an elf, but I was relieved to hear Keir’s next words.
“My wife and daughters have white hair just like the Lady. They’ll look good on you.”
“Are you married? Oh, you said you went through a race war. Excuse me, but how old are you?”
“So far, we have seen 532 springs.”
He was a married man and an elf who lived for over 500 years. That elf called Keir is definitely a rare species.
“Thank you. Thanks for saving me time.”
“Nothing to say. I’ve seen chutae before, but I have to say this. Anyway, I sincerely welcome you to Alvenheim. Yggdrasil can just board the teleport over there.”
Marie was greeted by him and stood up. And I moved to the area where Cecily and Lina were headed earlier.

Eventually, I was left alone for the last time, and I moved without needing Keir to call me. Keir opened his mouth with his characteristic relaxed voice as he sat down across from me.
“As you may have seen, I’ll do a brief background check. What’s your name?”
“My name is Isaac Ducker Michelle.”
“Isaac Ducker Michele… You were the child of the Red Lion.”
“Do you know my father?”
I looked surprised when Keir seemed to know about my father and no one else. The combination of red hair and golden eyes is rare, so it seems that they recognized it at once.
“It is rare to find such a strong human. There may have been developments in technology after the racial war, but there are few humans who can match the battlefield like the Red Lion.”
“Did your father ever fight a warlord?”
“It’s not like that, but I’ve heard that we won a victory over a beast warrior who was on par with the warrior leader. There’s nothing absolute in battle, but it’s pretty accurate. Actually, he’s strong.”
Come to think of it, I heard that my father had a record of subjugating prisoners scattered across the border area during his active duty. Perhaps one of the beasts there had a skill comparable to that of a battlefield.
Although there was help from the army, he also had a record of subjugating dragons, so it’s not surprising anymore. For me, as an ordinary person, combat and the military are a long and distant story.
“Are you also a knight?”
“No. I am a student who aspires to be an ordinary scholar.”
“Surprising. Anyway, welcome to Alvenheim. I’ll give you my entry permit here.”
“Thank you. By the way, Keir-san is also a soldier, right? I heard that he also participated in the tribal war.”
“Yeah.”
“It may be a random question, but what do you think of humans, Keir?”
Hearing about his father and the fact that he was a veteran of a tribal war, I suddenly became curious. He sees even demons as ordinary people, but what does he really think of humans?
The race war left a humiliating defeat for the elves, but on the contrary, it brought awareness to the race of humans. While there are elves who are still restless like the examiner just before, there are cases where they have broadened their minds like Keir.
Keir blinked when he heard my question, then smiled softly and asked the question in reverse.
“Do you want the word of mouth, or do you want to be honest?”
“I’d appreciate it if you could be honest.”
“I think it’s a scary race.”
“It’s a scary race…”
It’s not from any other race, but from an elf, it’s an unfamiliar answer. Even if a human can fly and crawl, it cannot be compared to an elf who is born with superior abilities.
However, it should be taken into account that Keir is a veteran of a tribal war. I tried to get up and put my butt back on.
Keir also seemed to be interested in me, so he was keeping his smile on his face.
“Why do you think so? No matter how much humans develop, they can’t keep up with elves by nature.”
“That’s why it’s even scarier. As you said earlier, humans make a lot of mistakes out of greed, selfishness, and folly. But paradoxically, the potential for development is superior to any other race. In fact, more than 500 times. Watching the spring, humans have shown incredible power of development. Conversely, we have only experienced one big change during that time.”
“Are you talking about race wars?”
“Yes. And even now, the issue of mixed race is undergoing a drastic change. It will depend on what kind of speech the Queen will give. You should do well…”
If you look at the backstory, that was the truth. Keir is a person who genuinely cares about Albenheim.
To the extent that I doubt whether such a person is really the arrogant elf. Maybe he’s half-blood like Arwen.
As if he had read my heart, Keir continued to speak.
“Oh, by the way, I’m not of mixed race. Even if it looks like this, I’m 100% pure-blood. I can say that I’m native.”
“…it’s a strange way to say it’s native.”
“Isn’t that right? But as long as you understand it, it doesn’t matter. Hahaha.”
“You hear a lot about not being an elf, don’t you?”
“That’s my charm point, and my wife confessed first.”
It was not pleasant, but the freshness flowed out. Even if they don’t know humans, they must have received harsh gazes from the same elves.
Besides, Keir is a warrior, that is, a soldier. Due to the rigid nature of the military, such a personality is inevitably disadvantaged in many ways.
“Well, at the time of the racial war, I was frustrated in many ways because of this personality. Even my boss who accepted me well was caught by the senate for absurd reasons, and I also felt disillusioned.”
“… …”
Perhaps the superior who was captured was Aiker’s warlord. Seeing that he was caught by the Senate for an absurd reason, he was half certain.
As if recalling the past, Keir glanced at the desk with dim eyes, then quickly ate up. Now the response is that it is not acceptable.
“What should I do with this? It’s already passed. I’m sorry I said something useless for nothing.”
“No. Rather, I’m sorry that I hurt you. It would be rude to even say this to a veteran.”
“It was nice to remember the old days after a while. Do you have any information you need?”
“Not at all. I think we should go now.”
“I hope you have a pleasant trip. Oh, and I hope you don’t misunderstand my fiancee, as I never threw an affair.”
“Large. Big.”
Maybe you saw my face then. I was embarrassed and coughed in vain. But he couldn’t stop his face from blushing from embarrassment.

Eventually, Keir greeted him politely, handed over his entry permit as he did to other people. I also politely greeted and moved to the place the group was headed.
Human society will use carriages, but this is Albenheim. Teleport facilities to each area are provided. Of course, there is also a teleport to the capital, Yggdrasil.
“Are you a little late?”
“To talk for a moment.”
“He was a very unusual person, right?”
I nodded at Marie’s question. Even if you are not an elf, such a personality is very rare.
But because he was an elf, it was even more engraved in his mind.
“Are you going to add that person later? If it’s an elf with that kind of personality, people will find it interesting too?”
“I already have Mary, what. But I have to consider it. The material has been rolling in.”
“Does that person really want to see Xenon’s biography? Isn’t this just me?”
Cecily also asked me if I was impressed with Keir. Mostly it is a question of whether to add it to Xenon’s biography.
I didn’t even think about it at all, so I answered bluntly. The fact that these conversations never leak out is that there is no one around and Cecily has already installed a soundproofing screen.
That’s why I was thinking about including the figure of Keir in Xenon’s biography.
“Hmm.”
“…?”
Gartz, who was listening quietly, coughed in vain.
