Cornflower Witch

Chapter 116 The Elf Florella
Moon Rabbit...?

When Hilti heard the name, she was taken aback for a moment before realizing what it meant and walked to a seat to sit down.

The Moon Rabbits are a very special race, completely different from other orc subspecies. They are almost entirely independent races, and their existence is very recent, being a new race that was promoted during the Ninth Age, the Covenant Age.

The being capable of elevating a race is naturally not an ordinary being, but the 'Fantasy Black Rabbit' who obtained the position of 'Radiant Moon' Divine Beast. Originally, it was an immortal beast on the 'Nightmare' path. After the previous 'Dream Lord', the Radiant Moon Divine Beast Silver Moon Dragon, fell, the 'Fantasy Black Rabbit' stole the position of 'Radiant Moon' Divine Beast through a special means.

Its success was also due to the death of its biggest competitor for the position of 'Radiant Moon', 'Silver Saint Melleranco', which meant that for a short period of time, no one could get close to the position of 'Radiant Moon'.

After successfully occupying the position of the 'Radiant Moon' Divine Beast, this 'Fantasy Black Rabbit' did not unleash her full power to sweep across the world and conquer multiple continents like the Sun Dragon. Instead, she hid herself away and founded the celestial garden 'Moon Rabbit Country'.

Many scholars speculate that the 'Fantasy Black Rabbit' may have been illegitimate in its rise to power and was unable to fully control the 'Radiant Moon' position, which is why it went into hiding.

Nowadays, it is not the 'Fantasy Black Rabbit' that adjusts the movement of the sun and moon and divides the seasons, but other fairy lords with the characteristics of the Radiant Moon, who take over the duties of the 'Radiant Moon' in place of the Fantasy Black Rabbit.

Of course, this kind of acting duty must be tacitly approved by the Fantasy Black Rabbit. If it does not cooperate, it will be difficult for the fairy lords to guide the power of 'Radiant Moon'.

Compared to the 'Fantasy Black Rabbit', the Fairy Lords are clearly more skilled at using the power of 'Radiant Moon'. In fact, before the Silver Moon Dragon, the first 'Radiant Moon' Divine Beast was the Fairy Lord.

Shortly after she sat down, the moon rabbit maid brought over the menu and asked Siltiah what she wanted to eat.

"The food here tends to be mild, with not much spice, and only a small selection of meats. There's a wide variety of fruits, and they even have ice cream!" the person on the other end said with a touch of energy.

"Let me see." Hiltiya flipped through the menu.

Most of the items listed above are pastries, desserts, and drinks; there aren't many actual main dishes.

"How is this 'Bamboo Scented Rice' made?" Hiltiya rarely saw food with an Eastern flavor.

"It's just diced radish, diced meat, diced vegetables, and sauce poured over bamboo rice. You can eat it directly with a spoon." She assumed that Hiltiya wouldn't know how to use chopsticks.

"This is fine." To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen a staple food like rice.

When she first came to this world, she thought there was no rice here. Later, she asked Maester Hyde and learned that only some areas grew it, and not many people ate it.

"Okay, I've got it." The other person nodded, and the rabbit ears on their head swayed, making them look exceptionally cute.

"Would you like some fried fish to go with it? Our fish is quite good too," suggested the rabbit-eared maid.

"Thank you, then give me some." Hilti nodded, and suddenly became somewhat expectant.

"Okay, we'll go prepare it right away. By the way, would you like something to drink? If it's your first time here, I recommend the 'Qingfeng Yuelu Juice'."

"Then let's go with this one," Hiltiya suggested.

"Write this down too." After writing it down, the rabbit-eared maid picked up the cardboard and left for the kitchen.

After things quieted down, Hilti took in her surroundings while waiting.

There aren't many staff members in the shop. Including the bunny-eared waitress from earlier, there are probably only three employees in total. Two of them work in the back and only occasionally bring out a few dishes.

Fortunately, there were very few students and guests here, so everyone was in no hurry.

"Which organization do you plan to join after you enter the woodlands?" an elf asked his companion. "The Four Seasons Alliance, of course. It's probably the most friendly organization to elves."

"It's better not to join small organizations. You might encounter something terrible and they might use us as guinea pigs."

"There aren't many elves on this continent, so there are a lot of people who want to spy on the elven bloodline."

"Many people think that by integrating with the bloodline of elves, they can extend their lifespan, which is utter nonsense." An elf shook his head while biting a straw.

“Destiny is determined at birth, as is bloodline. The most straightforward way to achieve longevity is through ‘sublimation,’ just as a witch’s ultimate goal is to become a sorceress, a lizardman’s pursuit is to transform into a dragon, and an elf’s ascension to a high-ranking fairy. This is how one can obtain an extremely long lifespan.”

Hiltiya listened to the discussion among the elves and found it very interesting, and suddenly learned some unexpected knowledge.

So that's how witches came to be? She vaguely remembered that her mother was called the 'Aster Witch,' but it seemed that her mother didn't follow the professional path of a witch.

After waiting a while, the rabbit-eared maid brought in a steaming hot meal and placed a bottle of chilled, greenish-blue drink next to Siltia.

Using a wooden spoon, Hirutiya scooped up a small amount of rice, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, and savored it in small bites. The familiar, fragrant, and sticky texture filled her with joy.

It's been so long since I've had rice. She really is used to rice, instead of eating bread and drinking porridge every day.

As she slowly ate her bamboo-scented rice, Hiltiya's thoughts drifted, recalling many things from her past and present lives, until the rabbit-eared maid came before her, bringing her back to her senses.

"Hello, the guests at the other table asked me to pass on a message." The rabbit-eared maid, holding a cardboard sign, waved her finger at Siltiya in greeting.

"It's the table to your left and in front of you," the maid pointed to one side.

Hilti looked up and saw the three elven girls sitting there.

The one in the lead had beautiful long, wavy golden hair. She was slightly plump and wore a dress with pleated floral patterns. She had a mature charm and would probably be the marriage partner of every man's dreams. Her light pink eyes had a touch of languid allure.

When she saw Hilti look up at her, the elf smiled and waved to Hilti in a gesture of goodwill.

"The other party would like to give you a 'Golden Osmanthus Lava Cake,' which she made herself." As she spoke, the rabbit-eared maid placed a small, transparent glutinous rice paper wrapping a pastry tied with a light yellow string in front of the girl.

【Osmanthus Lava Flower Cake】(Quality - Excellent): Made with high-quality osmanthus flowers, honey, glutinous rice flour and other main ingredients, this sweet pastry has a pleasant taste and often sells for a high price.

Hiltiya's eyes sparkled as she touched the flower cake. Finding everything normal and knowing the other party meant no harm, she smiled and nodded, accepting the gift.

"Okay, just say I'm very happy and thank her for the gift."

"No problem, I'll pass on the message right away." The rabbit-eared maid skipped and hopped to the other side.

Soon she came over with a piece of paper on which a line of writing was on it.

'My name is Florella, may I ask your name?'

After thinking for a moment, Hiltiya picked up the pen handed to her by the rabbit-eared maid and wrote her name.

"My name is Hilti, nice to meet you."

The feeling of passing notes back to her reminded her of her middle school days, when she was so innocent and naive.
