Chat with Danka
Well, lets enjoy our next four days at sea.
After placing my baggage beside the bed I was assigned, I took a seat.
Ponta imdiately climbed on my knee and began vigorously wagging her tail.
She must be after the yakitori.
We just set sail, didnt we? Wait just a little bit longer. How about we take a stroll around the ship?
Kyun, Kyun!
Ponta made a sad face and her tail drooped when I refused to give her what she wanted, but she perked up at the proposal of exploration.
Picking up Ponta by the scruff of her neck, I was almost out the door when Ariane demanded my attention.
Arc, be sure to knock before you enter! Got it!?
I understand, no need to raise a commotion.
After reassuring Ariane, Ponta and I set about exploring the ship.
Hmm, not even living under the sa roof in Raratoia brought about this kind of change.
I couldnt get Arianes strange behavior out of my head as I walked down a corridor.
Nowadays, the only people that try to create the lucky pervert situation from manga were elentary school dropouts.
While i was thinking about this no-win situation, I finally reached the deck .
The harbor had already vanished from sight and the ship was heading straight into the vast western sea.
Kyun! Kyun!
After leaping onto the ships railing, Ponta began to smile as the sea breeze blew through her green fur.
As I was watching Ponta, I suddenly heard a voice from behind .
Is it true that youve joined Raratoia?
Looking back to see whod begun a conversation without a greeting, I saw an elf I recognized standing behind .
Its been a while, Danka-dono.
Kyun!
Danka paid Ponta no mind and silently stared at .
Hmm, you seem to have already heard about my circumstances. With Dylans permission Ive been allowed to take up the na Raratoia.
Danka raised an eyebrow after I said that.
You said you were a human before. However, from the story I heard, youve been accepted by the village elder as representative of a new elven tribe. What does that an?
I did rember introducing myself as a human when we first t.
Back then, I hadnt been trying to lie. After all, and how was I to know that my skeletal body would turn into one of the in-ga dark elves.
At the ti, I believed myself to be human. My mory is a bit faulty and I didnt rember who I was.
The wrinkles on Dankas face deepened and suspicion could be seen creeping into his eyes.
Stop speaking nonsense. Even if you lost your mories your race should have been obvious. What in the world are you hiding?
Dankss cross-examination was heading into dangerous territory.
Regarding my special appearance, Dylan said it would be premature to reveal it to the others mbers of the village and suggested I gradually built up their familiarity with
before I show it to them.
Ariane and a few others had been able to see my skeletal form and be convinced that I was person afterward, but every additional piece of elven society I learned made
doubtful of others having a similar reaction.
Even if they were all elves, clear divides and strife existed between their groups.
My first impression of the elves was that they united due to their small numbers, but I realized that they werent all that different from humans.
Soone whod I helped rescue kidnapped elves with now looked upon
with suspicion in his eyes.
As a warrior tasked with protecting his people we were wary of soones whose abilities and identity was unknown.
However, I hadnt expected this type of situation.
My body is under a certain curse and my normal appearance is vastly different from other races. Dylan, my village elder, has forbidden these from being discussed in public, so youll have to ask him about it.
I looked Danka in the eye and told him what Dylan said I should if questioned about my body.
Ponta had been watching our exchange jumped on my shoulder from the railing and began wagging her puffy tail in front of my face, blocking my vision.
Hey, Ponta. I cant see.
Kyun!
Shed probably done it as a way to ease the tension because as soon as I complained Ponta stopped and wrapped herself around my neck.
A slight smirk appeared on Dankas face as he watched the scene unfold before turning on his heel.
Dont betray her trust, Arc
Dylan returned below deck after saying that.
With her, he must have ant Ariane.
Aside from anything involving , he should be seeing Ariane as a friend he was on good terms with, so this whole affair must have been his way of warning .
Once I saw Dankas back disappear, I let out a relieved sigh and looked towards the sea.
For a while, I watched the sea for a bit, but I eventually got bored of it and started to watch the sailors work while enjoying the sea breeze flowing over my body.
Eventually, Ponta let out a yawn and scratched the back of her ears with her hind legs.
Lets head back inside.
Kyun!
Ponta was delighted by the suggestion of returning to the cabin.
When I reached our cabin, I opened the door without knocking first.
Ariane was in the middle of removing her usual leather armor and was relaxing on her bed, while Chio had removed her greaves and her upper chest was exposed.
Though her figure didnt imply that she needed it, Chio wore so type of undergarnt under her regular outfit.
All of us were silent for a mont before I closed the door as the pillow Ariane throw ca flying at .
However, I could still hear Ariane scolding
from inside the room.
Id completely forgotten about room etiquette after speaking with Danka.
Being criticized by Ariane about this wasnt sothing I found all that lucky in the slightest.
This was a bad impression to set on the first day out at sea.
Ill need to be on my best behavior to prevent this from happening again.
Besides that nothing else noteworthy occurred today.
