Territory Pioneering 2
I rushed to the front door with Ester-sama following close behind .
We quickly arrived at the front door which I had grown familiar with despite only living in the dorm for a month now. I unlocked the door and was greeted by the Elf-san.
Its the maid againand also.
The Elf-sans face went stiff once she spotted Ester-sama.
My heart had settled down when I heard the Elf-sans voice, but now it was starting to hurt again. This ti it was due to a painful mory. When Tanaka-san and the Elf-san were eating together in his room, Ester-sama was left outside looking in through the window. I should try to avoid reminding either of them of that event.
But Ester-sama spoke before I could say anything.
Youre that elf that was in his room before. If I rember correctly, you gave him the recipe for the dicine. Youre his alchemy teacher, correct? Sorry if I dont rember you accurately.
no, thats all correct.
Is this that so-called preemptive strike?
The intensity in their eyes increased as they stared at each other.
Should I just stay silent?
What business could you have here this early in the morning?
Wellumm, I just wanted to confirm sothing.
Ah, well thats too bad, the master of this room is not currently in the capital.
Oh, thats not what I ant. Its that maid that I need to speak to.
Sofi?
Yeah.
Theyre both staring at .
W-What is it now?
Would you understand if I say it concerns the matter you brought up two days ago? The matter involving that noblewoman.
Ah, so you were there as well? With that rude Nannuzzi woman.
you know about that?
Sophia told everything that happened.
I see.
The Elf-san was glancing back-and-forth between Ester-sama and .
Ill ask you again, what business do you have here? Im sure you can tell that Sophia and I are very close. If it involves her, then it involves . Or do you just not want to be here?
O-Ohumm, thats.
She must be thinking Ester-sama might not be on our side considering shes a noble.
We really shouldnt be having this conversation at the front door. Should we go inside? Since youre his acquaintance, we can get tea and snacks ready for you. Right, Sofi?
O-Of course!
fine.
After the Elf-san nodded, I guided her inside to the living room. After they were both seated on the sofas, I left to the kitchen to prepare the tea and snacks.
Seriously, what does that elf want?
My chest tightened just by imagining what she might say.
I hastily prepared tea and snacks for two before running them out to the living room. While I was arranging it on the table, I noticed the Elf-sans eyes shifting between and the ground before she finally whispered to .
Are youclose with this noblewoman?
Does she understand the implications this question can have?
I dont know, but I should just give her a reasonable response.
Yes, we get along very well.
I see.
Ester-sama noticed when the Elf-san nodded.
Ara, are you talking about sothing without ? Ill start to get lonely if im left out like this.
.
The Elf-san looked embarrassed when she was discovered.
Because youre that mans maid, I thought Id help you escape.
The words that left her mouth were nothing like what i expected.
Eh, umm, well.
Shes going to help escape the country?
Ive seen her many tis, but Ive never spoken with her before today. The only reason i even know here is because she occasionally cos to the dorm to visit Tanaka-san. Just thinking about that man has a strange affect on my heart. I havent seen him for days now, yet hes caused so much stress and also indirectly offered salvation.
Fuu~n, so were on the sa side.
a noblewoman wants to help a commoner?
The Elf-san had a defiant look in her eyes.
The answer Ester-sama gave was indifferent.
I am Sofis friend.
.
Or dont you believe that?
fine, Ill believe you.
After a brief mont of hesitation, the Elf-san nodded.
The bad atmosphere that had slowly been building dissipated.
Thank goodness.
You were at the conference, correct? I wonder if you could give a detailed explanation of everything that happened there. I already heard about it from Sophia, but Id like to hear about it from an expert as well.
That seems like a good place to start.
Thank you, it will be a big help.
Im amazed that the Elf-san is able to speak so casually with a noble. Perhaps this is the power of a famous master alchemist. Tanaka-san did say he got the recipe for the potion that cured the Princess from this elf.
While I thought on this, they began their conversations.
I could tell most of what they were talking about concerned magic and alchemy but, for the most part, they might as well have been speaking another language. I suppose I can just try to pick up whatever I can unders from their conversation. I straightened my back and let them continue.
so she claid that this was what caused the reaction and.
hmmso thats how it was.
The Elf-san spoke while Ester-sama would occasionally acknowledge what she said. They both looked serious. The fact that these two are taking this matter so seriously in order to help makes happy.
she broiled the pignt in water under a fireball? Why does that sound familiar?
Yes, and then she used what remained of the liquid powder mixture and transferred it to a capsule.
At the sa ti, I feel incredibly apologetic to both of them. Theyre both far superior to in society and yet here they are doing whatever they can to help . I should be able to do more on my own.
What a useless woman I am. I never wanted to beco like this. Ah, Im so miserable. Will there ever co a day when I can stand on my own and, dare I say, even protect soone I care for? Honestly, I dont ever see that day coming.
hmm, so thats how it is.
Ester-sama listened to the Elf-sans story until the end. She closed her eyes and silently nodded. The information I gave her last night wasnt enough to give her any answers, but after listening to the Elf-sans story she seems to have realized sothing.
Its my fault for being uneducated.
What do you an?
A satisfied look crept across Ester-samas face as the Elf-san looked at her, confused.
Sophia, your suspicions were right.
Eh, umm, what do you an by that?
I was starting to have my doubts when she ntioned the pessari grass pignt, but now Im sure of it. Youre a good maid, Sophia, and your master should be proud of you.
Ummw-well.
What is she saying?
It seems like sothing major has happened but I dont understand it at all.
***
It was a little past noon the day after the loligon arrived.
Whathave you done?
A lone building had appeared in the corner of my territory. The sight of it alone nearly caused to fall to my knees in awe. The building would look at ho amongst the most beautiful architecture in the modern world.
Over the past few days Ive developed a sort of confidence, potentially bordering on arrogance, in my buildings Ive made using Stone Wall. On more than one occasion the question Am I a genius has floated through my mind. This overconfidence continued to build and build within as I received praise from Gonzalez and the Twilight Company.
The sight of this magnificent building shook to my core.
W-What is that supposed to an!? Haa!? Are you trying to say you dont like what I made!?
The loligon seed to misinterpret my astonishnt as she started yelling at .
Its rather intimidating.
You and the other insects make things like this! I-Ive seen it myself!
Youre mistaken, Christina.
Im not disappointed, but
This is hard for to admit, but its actually the opposite.
what was that?
Its amazing, Christina-san. Truly wonderful.
I basically repeated myself, but that cant be helped when the craftsmanship is this astounding.
R-Really!?
Yes, its incredible.
.
The loligons face started to turn red.
That seems to have made her happy.
Oh, is she puffing out her cheeks? I want to squeeze them.
I-I-It is, isnt it!? Of course it is! What else would you expect from my great self!?
No, even for you this is impressive.
Fuhahaha, fuhihihi~fuhahaha, ahahaha!
Christina-san wont stop fuhahaing.
But she just proved to that shes invaluable.
I wanted to see what she was capable of doing with engineering magic so I sectioned off an area for her to work in. I told her to use her magic to create a decent building here.
So how did she co up with this?
A grandiose gate had been built behind her that took up tens of tres of space. Its splendor matched the Arc de Triomphe and the architectural style reminded of the buildings in Bucharest.
