[Some time later, at night]

Finally, at the strong insistence of this Elf King, Aisha began to call me Sister Silphi.

no way.

Who told me, the Elf King, to be stronger than her?

Moreover, she didn't seem to mind the nickname much; she probably just wanted to annoy me from the start.

What a wicked little rascal...

They've all learned bad habits from their older brother...

Ugh......

If my older brother and I had gone to the Sacred Land of Swords together back then, and I had been the one to teach Aisha, things definitely wouldn't have turned out this way...

We all walked together toward our camp.

Everyone looked over at the adorable baby in our arms and greeted us.

This Elf King no longer has the strength to respond to them.

After all, both hands are occupied...

But Ariel, that girl, still had the energy to maintain her princess-like composure and exchange pleasantries with everyone...

"I never knew you were so amazing, Sister Sylphie."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I've heard of you before, you're quite famous! The Second Princess is trying to help the refugees return to their original homes and resume production. I never imagined that such a capable person would be an acquaintance of mine..."

"well......."

Thinking about this makes me want to sigh involuntarily...

It's all because the local lords are such beasts that we're needed...

"Sister Silphie must be very tired?"

"Hmm... I'm really tired..."

Unfortunately, I'm surrounded by a bunch of useless people...

The tavern in this small town we visited before.

However, due to the magical disaster, the original population of this town has disappeared.

So this place was temporarily requisitioned by me, Ariel, and others.

That is, the place where we rest.

Little Aisha wants to see the letter I mentioned before, the one her older brother sent.

She said she wanted to see the portrait her father had drawn of her.

So I took her back to my little room and stayed there for a while.

I showed her the things my older brother sent to me and Teacher Luo Qixi, and she showed me the magic sword my older brother gave her, as well as martial arts manuals.

She is really smart.

They also talked to me about the topic of Shadow Power.

"I'm dressed so cutely so that everyone will lower their guard against me, and then I can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack and kill them in one fell swoop!"

Besides, Benguga is so cute, Daddy can easily find us by just asking around among the two kids in penguin costumes!

"Yes, my older brother did teach me this move, and the Elf King even developed a variant of it."

"What variant?"

"For example, on the surface I'm just a healing sorcerer following the princess, with no real combat ability. But secretly, I'm actually the strongest fighter on the princess's side!"

If someone launches a sneak attack, I'll strike and kill them when they're off guard!

"Impressive! No wonder you're the Elf King!"

"Hehe~ Pretty cool, huh~"

At the dining table

The atmosphere was very pleasant during the first half of dinner.

Noren gradually became less shy and would even offer Aisha a spoonful of soup.

Aisha skillfully ladled out the soup, then tore off a piece of bread for Noren and asked if she wanted honey.

I looked at them and was momentarily dazed, as if this wasn't a camp, but just a kitchen in some small village.

If only time could stand still here.

Then we got down to business.

I learned that they were worried about their older brother's safety, so they planned to help Uncle Paul.

Although I was a little worried about them, I never expected the other two children to be sword saints...

Ugh......

If only they were under the command of this Elf King...

Even if he's a little slow...

But at least we can rest assured about the military force involved...

"We did meet Mr. Paul and his group before, but what I'm about to tell you is a secret, so please don't spread it around!"

"Um!"

Little Norren nodded very seriously...

It seems she is genuinely worried about Uncle Paul.

What I'm about to tell you is truly confidential.

And because she was worried that Luke would find out, she deliberately sent Luke away, and she has kept this from him to this day.

He is Pirimont's son, who was sent here hoping to gain some merit or something.

Although he's not very useful, as long as he doesn't continue to cause trouble, that's fine.

After all, with him, they would have the support of Lord Pilemeng.

"Some time ago, Uncle Paul's search party in the territory of Fituia came to us, wanting to obtain some royal funding, but it was done in secret."

Why?

"Because although our princess is royalty, she is also a victim of magical disasters."

Our meeting was also accidental. She didn't have any money at the time. Initially, our funds came from the money that I and Teacher Luo Qixi earned from going through the maze.

Later, when we wanted to expand our organization in Milpotts, Ariel took me to see the local lord.

And that lord was Mr. Paul's brother, Piremont Nottos Greirat.

"Huh? Is Dad the lord's brother? Then why doesn't Dad just go find Uncle Pirémon?"

"Because they don't get along."

"Why is it bad?"

Little Norlen has so many problems...

"Because if Mr. Paul hadn't run away from home, he would have been the next head of the Nottos family, and now that Mr. Paul's brother has become the head of the family, he's a very useless fellow."

If what Mr. Paul is doing now were to come out in the open, regardless of what Mr. Paul himself thinks, Secretary Pilemmont would certainly see Mr. Paul as a threat.

That will be very troublesome. They might not only cut off our funding, but they might even send people to hunt down Mr. Paul.

"How could this be?"

Little Norlen really doesn't seem very bright...

wrong......

Perhaps she's just too kind...

It's like a story where everyone instinctively hopes for brothers to work together...

Ariel, who had been laughing and joking with everyone before, stopped eating her cutlery...

With a serious expression, he continued explaining to Noren...

"Because of status...that's what most people ultimately want..."

"What's that...?"

Noren still couldn't understand...

But to be honest, I don't understand either...

yes......

What is that...?

A bunch of idiots...

Adults are all such despicable people...

and......

Ariel's situation is somewhat similar to Mr. Paul's...

But this isn't something I should be explaining to Norren anymore; let's change the subject...

For example, tell me what happened after Mr. Paul...

But just as I was about to speak, Norren suddenly fainted!?

Aisha was also feeling dizzy and disoriented!?

It's poison!!!
