67 – Tsundere
“It’s Shizu Ranches Owl.”
“Kaa Rigai Ulje.”
After introducing themselves, the two girls started a snowball fight.
Shizu, who was short, seemed to be looking up at Kaa, but Shizu’s was overwhelmingly fierce in terms of the energy she was giving off.
Of course, since the two were polar opposites, I expected that they would not easily become friends.
But I never dreamed that she would growl like this from the first time we met.
For some reason, I feel like I will become extremely tired from now on.
I was caught between the two and couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
“Hey, candidate.”
At that time, Shizu, who had gained momentum, turned towards me and spoke.
The sight of him completely turning his back on Kaa seemed like he was saying, ‘I’m not interested in you.’
When I asked why I was calling, Shizu looked up at me and asked softly.
“Is there any need for you to remain here?”
I don’t know the meaning of the question, but Qingqing Yingyue still needed me.
I nodded and briefly explained the current situation and future plans.
“I guess so, right? If I stay and help, it will be easier to get through the fall. And there’s still a lot of work to do. “I want to secure the border of Qingqing Yongyue and strengthen its military power.”
“Um….”
In response to my answer, Shizu closed her eyes and quietly fell into her thoughts.
In fact, my plan was prerequisite to Shizu’s help, so I eagerly waited for Shizu’s positive answer.
After a while, Shizu finished her thoughts, nodded her head and opened her mouth.
“Not a bad plan. If the power here grows, we may be able to entrust the eastern side of the Great Forest. “Eldennor’s burden will be reduced, so it will be a good win for both parties.”
“That’s it. “Because elves and beastmen are not hostile.”
“If we move diligently, we will be able to secure the border before winter ends. “It depends on what you do.”
Shizu agreed with my plan and told me about an ideal future.
She thought she was going to hear people tell her to stop being so naughty, but her reaction was truly unexpected.
Why is he acting like this all of a sudden? Did I eat something wrong?
I looked down at Shizu standing to her left and asked carefully.
“Does that mean you’ll help too?”
Shizu answered, turning her head away from me.
Her pricked ears were slightly stained red.
“Okay. Don’t you think you will return to Eldennor only when all the problems are resolved? If you take him by force and he whines, it will be troublesome. So, I have no choice but to help.”
“Ah. I see.”
“If you know, don’t say anything else later. No matter what anyone says, you belong to Eldennor. “I can’t stay here forever.”
I will solve all the problems of the Blue Moon and take the druids back to Eldennor.
So, if you want help from the high elves, don’t think about capturing the druids.
Even though it was said gently, there was really no explicit declaration.
Kaa turned to me and muttered as Shizu hit the nail on the head.
“Going, going?”
Judging by the fact that the wolf’s ears were slightly lowered, it seemed as if he was asking, ‘Are you really going to go back?’
From Kaa’s perspective, who relies heavily on me, it must have been like a bolt from the blue.
But I could only smile awkwardly and say nothing.
‘If Shizu says he won’t help, it’s a big problem.’
If she says she won’t go back, Shizu will be angry to the end of her head.
In order to solve the problems of Ley Lake, Shizu’s help was needed more than anyone else.
Now, for the sake of Qingqing Yingyue, there was no choice but to follow Shizu’s words.
“… ….”
When I gave no answer, Kaa flung her tail as if she was in shock.
At that time, Shizu, who was looking at Kaa’s sullen appearance, crossed her arms and lightly snorted at her.
“Hmph.”
This one was a little bit disgusting to me.
No matter how bad the first impression was, do you really have to overcome it like this?
I nudged Shizu to tell him to take it in moderation.
Shizu cleared his throat awkwardly, probably because he thought it was a bit childish.
“Ugh. Well then, let’s talk about the details over dinner. “I think you two should get closer to each other.”
As I walked like that, I suddenly saw a familiar gate.
It was a mansion for a warrior commander where Kaa and I lived together.
“Are you back, Gaul? “Mr. Kaa.”
As we approached the main gate, the chief’s family members welcomed us.
I nodded my head in a familiar manner and asked for the high elves to treat me well.
“These are the high elves of Eldennor who came to help. “Can you give us your mansion for guests and prepare a meal for them?”
“Yes. No problem. “Everyone, please follow me.”
“Shizu will eat here with us. “I’ll ask her to prepare a meal for us as well.”
“Of course.”
Following the guidance of their servants, fifteen high elves flocked into the guest mansion.
No matter how I looked at him, showing his tattoos and behaving disorderly, I could only see him as a gangster.
I am worried that the High Elves might cause some kind of accident in the Blue Moon, where politeness is considered a virtue.
I entered the warrior leader’s house, trying hard to erase the ominous thoughts.
At that time, Shizu, who was standing on her left, looked around her mansion and asked.
“Candidate. “Is this your house?”
I guess they were mistaken when they saw me giving instructions to my subordinates.
I shook my head and pointed to Kaa who was standing on my right.
“No. This is Kaa’s house. “It just so happens that we live together.”
“…… What?”
Shizu frowned at my answer and stood tall. Then she held my arm tightly and asked me in an awkward manner.
“…… Well, we live together? “Hey, was it true that you were engaged?”
Uncharacteristic of Shizu, she seemed to be stuttering.
I looked down at her, wondering if there was something wrong.
The shaking eyes, which seemed to be a mixture of anger and anxiety, were looking at me.
I smiled awkwardly and nodded at her.
“Uh, yes. “That’s it, right?”
“Ugh!”
Shizu gritted his teeth and glared at Kaa at my simple affirmation.
She looked like a mother-in-law in a drama who had been robbed of her son.
I followed Shizu’s gaze and naturally observed Kaa’s reaction.
“Ehehehe….”
Kaa, who was standing on the right, was smiling brightly with her hands clasped together.
It was so happy that it waved its abundant tail and stroked my body.
So, Kaa’s scent was permeated in my body.
As I was thinking about this while smelling the delicate scent for a moment, Shizu suddenly grabbed my arm and growled viciously.
“Don’t even dream…” This guy can’t….”
I don’t know why this elf girl is like this again.
I looked at Shizu as if asking why.
Shizu, who met her eyes, was startled and continued her words.
“Well, a druid’s marriage partner must be an elf.”
When on earth did such a rule come into existence?
I countered by taking Shizu’s arm out of her arms.
“This is my first time hearing such a thing. “Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
At my words, Shizu frowned and gave me a sharp look in her eyes.
It was as if he was saying, ‘Don’t complain about what I said, just stay still!’
Then he pulled my arm, lifted my tiptoes, and whispered softly in my ear.
“You can’t believe it… “Are you planning to get married and escape Eldennor?”
I haven’t thought about it like that, but it might be possible.
I bent down to be at eye level with Shizu and answered in the same whisper.

Of course, since Kaa was a member of the Rang people with good hearing, she would be able to hear clearly.
“Is that okay?”
“No!”
Unfortunately, escaping through marriage seemed impossible.
“If you want to get married that much, pair up with an elf! Marrying an outside force will only complicate things!”
It seemed like Shizu wanted to raise me while imprisoning me in Eldennor.
But when that happens, a serious problem arises.
Because the elf hated humans so much, he didn’t like me very much because of my human appearance.
If I want to find a mate in Eldennor, I will have to live the rest of my life alone without a mate.
Now that lifespan has increased as much as that of elves, you have to live a lonely life without being able to create a family?
Well. I think I might last about 200 years or so and then go crazy.
I shook her head and whispered into Shizu’s long ear.
“There won’t be an elf who will marry me.”
At my words, Shizu shrugged her shoulders and lowered her head.
Then her fists trembled and her mouth murmured.
“…… There is.”
Thanks to the rabbit’s wild nature, I could hear it well, but it was a remark that I had no choice but to ask again.
I grabbed Shizu’s shoulders and shook her, yelling at her to tell me more.
“There is? Is there an elf who really likes me? “Who the hell is that?!”
“W-Is that really?!”
[What?!]
Even Kaa, who was next to him, shouted and urged Shizu to give her answer.
What kind of strange elf likes me in human form?
Me and Kaa. And as Piyi continued to ask, Shizu, who was trembling with her head down, opened her mouth.
“Hey, there is…” A kid like that….”
Shizu answered in a hushed voice and turned his back on me.
For some reason, her long ears had turned bright red.
At that time, Piyi, who was quietly watching her, muttered softly.
[I think I know who that is.]
Surprisingly, I think I know who he is too.
I agreed with Piyi’s words and nodded her head.
If you really don’t know even when you see such a cute reaction in front of you, you’re either a regretful eunuch or a stupid brat.
“Joe, be quiet…” Please shut up….”
And I was neither a eunuch nor a nobleman.
