Chapter 1 - Cecil and Fran
After deciding to make Fran our companion, I took her back to the village.
” I have returned, Cecil.”
As soon as I knocked on the door of the room, it was opened imdiately.
"welco ho, Allan-sama. Also, I deeply apologize for not being able to attend you today"
But, as she lowered her head to , I waved my hand.
"Don’t worry about it, if else, I should be the one to apologize for not holding back. Is your body alright now?"
"Yes, thanks to Allan-sama"
While hearing such a story, I was poked at the back by Fran.
I think it would an "hey, don’t leave out here".
For that, I switched the mood to change the story.
"Oh, Uhm, Cecil, there is sothing I would like to introduce to you"
"Introduce......to ?"
Before Cecil who went puzzled, I brought Fran in.
I asked for her to wear a hooded robe before we ca here, but now I took it off.
"......I’m Fran Mason. As you can see, I’m a half-elf"
Fran introduced herself while looking down slightly.
As expected, did she still have that resistance when talking to anyone other than ?
"Ah, while I was hanging around all day, I got acquainted with Fran along the way"
Because Fran went completely silent after speaking her na, I supplented her.
"Fran-san, right? I am Cecil Mir. My role is to watch over the prince. Nice eting you"
Cecil’s reaction is still the usual, as if not minding Fran’s issue of being a half-elf at all.
It was a kind reaction, as expected of her.
"I, I am......"
Cecil extended her hand towards her, but Fran, seems to be puzzled on what to do, could only mutter.
"Don’t tell , you don’t know what a handshake is?"
When I said so, she urged herself and extended her hand.
And then, Cecil grasped it with hers.
"I hope to get along with you, Fran-san"
Cecil told smilingly.
As if pulled by the tension with that unexpected smile she received, in which was different from others who have treated her, Fran in return grasped back her hand, too.
Seeing the two people’s faces, I held a sigh of relief, then let the two people sit on the desk of the room. I then proceeded to the main topic imdiately.
You see, I’m thinking of taking Fran along to our journey."
"That’s, Isn’t that quite drastic, Allan-sama?"
Cecil was caught in surprise.
Well, it’s natural because there were no such plans with soone joining us.
"To tell you the truth......"
From there, I told everything that happened today to Cecil.
Eventually when I was done, she nodded once.
"I understand what Allan-sama is thinking. I approve it. And because there is still room for your travel expenses, there won’t be a problem"
"......Wow, though I sowhat expected sothing like this, you sure have admitted to it very quickly"
Of course, I didn’t expect Cecil to discriminate against the half elves, not one bit.
However, I expected sothing like complaining about discipline or morals or so.
"We aim to unify the world after all. Sothing like being half-elves should be no big deal for us"
Well, if you say it that way, it certainly should.
As a matter of fact, about half of my head is already filled with the pleasure of travelling from hereafter, but of course, I won’t say it.
"So, what can we do about Fran’s position?"
"I am the prince’s servant"
As if her self-introduction earlier was a lie, Fran speak out bluntly.
"Servant you say? Though here are so parts to which overlaps with my role......"
"I will do the miscellaneous chores around the prince. You can continue to just be his watchdog"
"......! I, even I have been with Allan-sama for many years......"
This is bad, a hair-triggering crisis have appeared.
Because Fran has been bullied until now, her communication skills are not that great.
Though she doesn’t an any harm, her present words could be received as a provocation.
Cecil is usually gentle, but becos a little bit more emotional when it cos to relationships.
I am glad to be surrounded by beautiful won, but spare the scene of bloodshed!
"Both of you, let’s talk of the plans from hereafter......"
By talking in a slightly louder voice, I split the bad atmosphere building up.
The two got flustered, but eventually regained their calm, so sohow, the quarrel was avoided.
It seems I have succeeded getting them along while advancing the conversation between the two as it is.
However, it seems that a small lump of a problem was still left out.
That night, though we would sleep like the "川" character with at the center as the bed is not big enough for us, both sides will be holding close contact with , making it impossible even to do a slight movent. It seems that I will spend the night with agony in my hands.

The next day, we received the letter permitting us to cross over the border to the Country of Fairies.
I talked with the village chief that I will bring Fran with , but he then looked like he was very grateful.
For them it seems, that the troublemaker in the village of theirs would be gone.
This may be the Elves’ common beliefs, but still, it’s a little sad.
On the other hand, after entering the Country of the Fairies, the trip went smooth throughout.
Did they tell everyone? There are too many places that welcod us along the way.
In a few days, I arrived at their castle town where the King of Spirits resided.
And now, I am waiting in that castle at this very mont.
Having served with tea inn a luxurious reception room, we were standing by.
It’s beautiful decorations showed not a single inferiority compared to our castle.
In the Country of Elves there are many articles made from natural wood and ores/crystals.
It seems that the Country of Fairies does not differ by much either.
However, there are still so items that I could not imagine how they were processed on the inside.
Maybe it is the product of magic.
Will I also be able to make sothing like this if I can use magic?
I went around the room while thinking those things but eventually I have finished seeing through everything.
I sat on the chair afterwards, and spoke to Cecil who was in front of .
"As expected of a nation we’re friends with, to be able to pass us through the castle very quickly"
"Quite so. In addition, though it is really similar from what I heard, we saw fairies from the first ti"
I recall the figure of the fairy we saw so far.
It’s most noticeable characteristic are the wings that grow from its back.
As for its shape and size, it is quite similar to insects, its two pairs of wings are about one ter in size and are semi-transparent.
It seems that they could float in the air by channeling magic through their wings.
For their remaining characteristics, it’s wearing clothes that are considerably thin. It was really pretty eye-catching.
Because ordinary elves have elegant disposition, they usually don’t try to wear gaudy outfits like these.
It was almost practically like swimsuits, too. If Cecil and Fran were to wear them......
"Prince, did you think sothing naughty? In that case, shall I let it out for you?"
"Wait for a mont here, this is the royal castle!?"
Cecil stopped the tempting Fran.
The air has tensed in an instant.
It seems that they haven’t completely opened up to each other yet.
At that ti, a subject of the Fairy King returned.
"We apologize for keeping you waiting, Allan-sama"
"Nay, I didn’t wait that long. So when could we et His Majesty the Fairy King?"
"His Majesty is pretty busy at the mont, but he would like to et with your by tomorrow"
"Understood. Then we will co again"
Certainly, if you are the ruler of a country, you’ll have a lot of work to do.
I should be thankful that it had made ti for .
Besides, fairies are as long-lived species as the elves.
Judging from the ti interval, you could already say that the next day is already too early.
"That is not it. His Majesty has told to welco and entertain the prince. Please stay in the castle in the anti"
"I-I see. Then, shall we get going?"
Tch, and here I thought that I could get around the town and hook with so beautiful fairies!
I would have tied Cecil up and went to the bar already, where wonderful beauties might have been waiting.
Then if the mood goes better, we would have done it in a Fairy Brothel or sothing like that.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t decline the goodwill of the Fairy King.
And thus, we stayed at the royal castle in the anti.
