Chapter 05: Where is Elf’s Canyon

There is no day that is more tense than today

Right now, I’ out of the residence

So no one can find me as I make my way, I mutter in a subdued tone

「……Who knew that going out without permission, would be this much of a thrill」

It was so that I hadn’t even considered since in my previous world

It hen I was in High School I think

On a holiday at o watch an R-rated movie…

「I’et the reference)

As a result of shouting, I missed a step, and rolled down the stairs all the way to the first floor

Upon seeing raceful behavior, Mother was silent

Father said “go die”

Now that I think about it, that time I had probably won

However, the circumstances are different now

The people close to o out

It was evening

The tiet worse

At this tio out

I didn’t want to put ua

It would be painful to worry Walkins

But, I o!

「……Underneath this village, an elf has come」

I wanted to try and obtain one item…

A certain『Elven medicine』

As the naests, it’s a panacea that is made on the Elf Continent

In all the other races besides hureatest in number

However, they were oppressed and therefore had a considerably bad ie

By other races, things like Dragon’s are here

And, the iht noas the Elven medicine

There were a lot of elves scattered over this continent

The place that had the greatest mystery …the『Elf’s Canyon』as the place was called

With one taste, the tonics effects would last around-the-clock for a month

If you 』

you can make a panacea that denies all sickness

Once long ago the queen contracted a disease, it was so called eternally incurable

Even with recover ht lost

It was that time

One day, a wo appeared, it seems

The woman mixed it, steeled her resolve and made the queen drink it

Then, the sickness healed i even cried for joy

Although half of it’s a legend, the effects are properly guaranteed

It should absolutely work

For Sefina’s sickness that has no normal treatment method

In that case, there is only one thing to do

I o, I must find them

To the person in Elf’s Canyon who has the clue

「Even still, this village has declined considerably

public order should be pretty bad as well」

The village was so lifeless that it causes one to complain unintentionally

It looks like this village needs a redevelopn

Ithat someday

After walking a short distance, I discovered et

「Here?」

The village’s sole relay station

At present, the elf is staying here for some reason

Because elves are an unusual race, they’re favored highly by the nobility

Mostly, in a poor tasteembarrassed

I enter the store, there was a nice built unclethe store

His muscles were taunt

Did he used to be a mercenary?

I saw scars here and there?

「Excuse uest here?」

「Ah-? There is but, what of it boy? If you wanna stay here ya gotta pay」

「This is who I am」

As I was saying that, I showed a small knife to the shop owner

On the nice quality blade, there was carved a silver sword and a golden shi+eld

This is the object that is proof of the nobles that rule the territory

In other words, the Din family’s crest

「……Hi!? That means, you’re the Din family’s……!?」

「It seems you’ve been paid to remain silent but

seeing as an elf is here could you not be so loud please?」

If it was known by the locals that an elf had coht do

It ithout saying that the toould overfloith bandits

Even if such a visitor had money they would be turned away

There were old mine

Strange people would coe and start trouble; even the hotel would be in danger

Even the very fact that the ruh I lived in the hills away froe—

It ht already be too late

「I got it! The elf is staying in the interior of the second floor」

「–Alone?」

「Alone」

「Thank you I’ive you anything」

I obediently bowed my head

Although there were no other guests, I didn’t want to be seen as irresponsible

I also understood

It was the sa of my former classmate

That ti a reunion

Happily holding beer

Everyone sed beer

It was certainly stealth

Being reminded about popularity really depressed me

「Far from it Please don’t lower your head」

「I will someday definitely promote around here I promise you」

「I arateful Even if by chance the inn were to be ruined, I would probably survive as a h, if I were to leave the inn to my wife it would absolutely never fail」

「Aa, good luck with that」

I wave my hand as I ascend the stairs

I wanted to help with Shadvergua’s work, gradually

It was painful that the results didn’t come very easily

I guess I need to raise the standard of living around here

Next tiua

I reach the second floor and look toward the room in the back

There stood a dimly lit lantern

「……Alright」

I’ve heard that elves have a strong sense of tribalism

The Elf’s Canyon that I wished to visit, to the elves was sacred ground

The person that was staying here, there was a strong possibility that they knew the whereabouts of that place

Even if they were to have no knowledge about it at all, there was no choice but to try and ask

This is the first step

「Excuse me」

I knocked and entered the room

Don’t you clean in here, it reeks of dust?

Because there usually aren’t guests, they went lazy on the cleaning?

If it stays like this, you’re going to lose more and more business you know

「ah……absent huh?」

Even if you were to look around the room, it was apparent there was no one there

Is he out at the moment?

But it’s already late

I gazed out theat the neighborhood, a sound rang out from the jars on the back shelf

According to intuition, it was a danger alarm

—-From behind

I spun around in a hurry

The ingredients storage flung open

There was just enough room for 1 person to hide there

I carefully inspected inside

There was —- no one inside

Right, no one there

Instead there was a thin glittering string

「……N?」

The string continued behind me,

as if invited an unsuspecting guest into a trap

—-fon

A sharp sound whizzed by my ear
