Chapter 107 – What is The Elven Country
The elven country “Borodin” seems to be a large country located in the eastern Oratorio Continent. It is much larger than my island and is said to have a population of 100 million.
“He~e, I didn’t know the elven country was so large.”
“Yes, it’s as large as the Empire. Moreover, it’s located in the far east, so it’s a place that’s difficult for the Empire to attack. It’s also free from war.”
Come to think of it, that’s right.
I’ve never heard of the elven country being involved in a war. In fact, I’ve heard that the elven race is gentle and friendly. Just like Skor, a laid-back and cute elf.
“I see, it’s a large island country. It’s been ten years since then, so I imagine many things have changed.”
“Yes, I’ll show you around a lot! Please stop by the palace too.”
Speaking of the palace, it’s the “Humoresque Palace”. I’ve only been there once when I was a child. Come to think of it, I met Skor at that palace ――.”
As I was remembering, there was a knock on the door of the room.
“I’m coming in, big brother.”
“Havamar, how was your room?”
“It’s great. The interior of this ship is wonderful. It’s built in a luxurious way that’s fitting for nobility. I like it!”
“That’s right. It’s so comfortable that I want to settle down here, but our home is on that island.”
“Of course. In order to make the island easier to live in, it’s a good idea to learn the technology of the elven country. I will help you.”
“Ah, I’m counting on you.”
Then, Strelka arrived with a subtle expression on her face.
“Um, well…”
“Hmm? What is it, Strelka?”
“Actually, it’s very complicated, but I would like to borrow Skor-san.”
“Eh? Skor?”
Strelka asking to borrow Skor was unexpected. I called Skor.
“…W-what is it?”
Skor was also a bit awkward. They still seem to have a subtle adversarial relationship. I hope they can get along soon. But this time, Strelka is asking to borrow Skor. This might be an opportunity.
“Skor-san, um… I’ve just realized something very important.”
“Im-imporant matter?”
“Yes. It’s that I don’t know Rasty-sama’s preferred taste in food.”
“Eh…?”
“When I was about to start cooking, I couldn’t figure out Rasty-sama’s preferred seasoning… So, um, I thought Skor-san might know more about it.”
“Of course, I know. After all, I’m the one who always cooks!”
Ahh, Skor puffs out their chest proudly. That’s right, Skor always cooks for us. Thanks to her, we were able to eat delicious meals.
So, it was for that reason that she wanted to borrow Skor?
That’s too surprising.
“It’s frustrating, but to satisfy Rasty-sama, I have no choice but to bow my head to Skor-san. Please, I would like to ask for your guidance.”
“I understand. I’m also a cook, so I’ll help you.”
“Oh, Skor-san. Thank you.”
Strelka bows her head politely.
I thought it might be tense between them, but it’s not so bad. Cooking has repaired their relationship (?). I hope they’ll get along better now.
The two left my room and headed to the kitchen.
“Good for you, big brother.”
“W-what do you mean?”
“Both of them want to make big brother happy.”
“… Is, is that so?”
I feel strangely embarrassed hearing that.
As I was scratching my cheek, Havamar made a suggestion.
“It looks like it will still take a while. Big brother, would you like to take a look around the Glaznov Republic at night, even if it’s just for a little while?”
“The Glaznov Republic? …I hadn’t thought about that. Yeah, we’re docked here, so it won’t hurt to do a bit of sightseeing. Alright, let’s go.”
“Great, you’re in a good mood, big brother.”
“Once in a while is fine. Of course, I’ll let Skor and Strelka know.”
“Yeah, yeah. Going out with big brother! I’m looking forward to it.”
To be looking forward this much… Yeah, it’s good to do this once in a while.
