The next day.
Just as dawn broke, many people in the Elven Homeland began to wake up and leave one after another.
Shien Buztout’s group also set off, with everyone present. Even Airi woke up early, whether because she hadn’t slept last night or because of their departure. Although she didn’t seem very energetic, she didn’t appear sleepy-eyed either.
Everyone left the treehouse and came to the ground.
“Roar—!”
Yulin immediately flew from the direction of the Queen’s Palace, roaring as she landed, kicking up dust and causing many to exclaim.
Not only Shien’s group was present, but many elves had also come.
Some were watching, while others, along with Carol, were maintaining order. Even Sophie, the Elven Queen, appeared with Leia and Nia, seemingly to see them off.
“Such courtesy? Your Majesty?”
Shien raised an eyebrow.
Sophie seemed to have adjusted her mentality, recovering from Machi’s incident, and gave Shien and the others a beautiful smile.
“Since the Kingdom’s princess, her fiancé, the Evil God of the God Race, and three Demon Lord princesses are all here, as the Queen of the Elves, I naturally have to come and see you off.”
Sophie said this first, then added with a wry smile,
“Moreover, my people are quite reluctant to part with you. For this reason alone, I must represent them and offer you blessings for your journey.”
Hearing Sophie’s words, Shien couldn’t help but look around.
Indeed, many elves were staring at him with reluctant expressions.
No, not just the elves, even the fairies flew over in droves, surrounding Shien as if they didn’t want him to leave. They tugged at his collar and pulled his hair, their reluctance evident.
Incidentally, at the end of the Peace Festival, many elves had given Shien flower garlands.
Lucy’s words had come true. Many elves gave Shien flower garlands, clearly having a deep impression of him.
That’s why they came here.
“I haven’t even had a proper conversation with him…”
“I should have been bolder…”
“Yeah…”
Many elves whispered such things.
This made Shien very awkward.
There was nothing he could do.
“Hmph.”
“Hmph.”
Two cold snorts came from behind him.
He didn’t need to think to know who they came from.
“Why don’t you just stay here?”
Lucy directly expressed her dissatisfaction to Shien.
“I think that’s a good idea.”
Airi also appeared cold and indifferent.
Besides these two, two elves also voiced their opinions.
“I really don’t know what’s so good about that guy. Isn’t it just because he was recognized by Goddess Nadue and defeated a Demon Spirit?”
Jenom, standing among the Elven Corps, said this, seemingly unable to accept it.
“Our people are just like that, too naive, too innocent.”
Carol sighed softly.
Shien immediately shut his mouth.
It wasn’t appropriate to say anything at this time, right?
It was better to say nothing at all.
Sophie seemed to sense something and smiled gently, taking the initiative to speak.
“Although many things happened in the Tegor Forest and the Elven Homeland this time, overall, the Peace Festival wasn’t affected, and everyone is safe and sound. There’s no better outcome than this.” Sophie said to Shien, “Through this experience, we’ve also come to realize that such a remarkable person has appeared among humanity. As the Queen of the Elves, I assure you that the Elven Homeland will always welcome you. You are welcome to visit again at any time.” rÄnÔbΕS
These words made many people’s expressions change.
“The Elven Homeland is going to welcome a foreign man at any time?”
Jenom was stunned.
“…”
Carol and the others fell silent.
“This…”
