Chapter 1 – Return to Dark Elf Island
I took Bella-san and the others to the Castle, where they met Camille-san and the others without incident. They seemed nervous at first, but by the end of the meeting, they were happily talking about the facilities at the Castle, so they will probably be able to get used to each other without any problems.
“I’m finally home.”
No, this island is the Dark Elf Island, so it’s a bit strange to say, “I’m finally home,” isn’t it?
…Well, let’s not go into details. It all seems so refreshing to think that I am now free from the babysitting of the fairies.
They used to harass me in various crude ways, probably because they were still upset that I didn’t take them to the Castle.
They would sneak into my room before I knew it and make it impossible for me to do my nightly activities, or they would show me their smug faces after being spoiled by Alessia-san and the others, or they would come to me for sweets, etc. It was hard.
When it was me, they would completely overlook the fact that they could get away with almost anything and play with me like I was a toy.
At first, I could handle them by taking away sweets and other punishments, but it was painful to have them see through the boundaries where it was difficult to apply the punishments.
Also, when I was with Felicia and Alessia-san, they were quiet, but when I was alone, they would get aggressive with me.
Even though they are fantasy creatures called fairies, they are very selective about who they want to be with, which I find rather hateful.
“Wataru is overreacting. Are you so happy to be back on this island?”
Alessia-san looked at me as if she couldn’t understand me.
Well, Alessia-san and the others have seen many charming aspects of fairies, so they probably don’t understand how I feel.
If anyone can understand my feelings, it’s… Ines.
Ines was in a good mood for a while after Bella-san and the others left the ship, but she continued to take care of the fairies, so I’m sure she can sympathize with me.
Since she’s not here right now to organize the fairies for disembarkation, I can’t rejoice with her, but we’ll celebrate tonight.
＊＊＊
A strange sight.
The migrating dark elves are introduced to the village chief, who is pleased to see their brethren join them.
This is an island of dark elves, so it is a natural scene.
The livestock they brought with them blended into the island’s landscape.
But then, in addition to the humanized mermaids, there are the mermaids swimming in the sea in their mermaid form and the fairies flying in all directions around them.
…I wonder where this island is going, even though I am the one who brought them here?
“Mukyaa. Let me go.”
While I was worrying about the future of the Dark Elf Island, I heard the scream of a devil.
When I looked at the source of the scream, I could see the devil’s figure being captured by the dark elf children of this island.
Well, it seems that the devil was taken by surprise.
Perhaps he flew nearby because he felt that the dark elf children of the island were just like the dark elf children of the Lost Mountain.
However, unlike the children of the Lost Mountain, the children of this island are so energetic that they can be described as evil children. Their level of danger is incomparable.
Good, hold on tighter. I’ll give the boy some sweets later.
Oh, no, dark elf father, no, don’t scold him. You don’t have to let the devil go; you don’t have to apologize… Oh, the devil was unleashed by a reasonable father. You could have punished him a little more.
…No good. I’ve been toyed with by the fairies so much that my heart is kind of broken, and my mind is kind of bleak.
I don’t think I have a good personality, but it’s not right to feel pleasure at the sight of little fairies suffering.
Maybe I’m under a lot of stress. As planned, I’m going to make a lot of noise tonight and refresh myself.
＊＊＊
“””Cheers!”””
The welcome party began.
The plan was to have a party tonight, but the islanders got excited and decided to hold a hurried welcome banquet to celebrate the arrival of their new friends.
In the past, the dark elves would not have been able to afford to hold a banquet on the same day on their own, but this time, the island alone provided for the most part of the event.
The fact that the Dark Elf Island has become so prosperous must be a very happy thing.
I’m very happy about that too, but tonight I was thinking of doing this and that without anyone interrupting me, so I’m a little… no, I’m very disappointed.
But I don’t dislike this kind of atmosphere.
The newly joined dark elves seem to be adjusting smoothly, and the fairies are flying around the banquet hall like they own the place.
I was a little worried because of a small problem that occurred at the meeting, but at this rate, I’m sure everything will be fine.
I was also a bit nervous when Felicia’s father, Village Chief Federico, suddenly announced that he was handing over the position of village chief to Triatem-san, the chief of the Lost Mountain Village.
From Village Chief Federico’s point of view, Triatem-san, who has reached an age where it is no exaggeration to say that he is an elder, is the most suitable person to be the village chief, but as expected, I think it was too sudden.
It seems that Triatem-san was also troubled, and for some reason, they began to push each other for the position of the village chief and finally settled on Triatem-san as the advisor.
Next, we talked about what to do about housing, and I suggested that they live on the Chris for a while with the mermaids since I had stopped hiding about the ship from the dark elves, but they rejected the idea.
Aside from transportation, they said that a luxury liner was too extravagant for their daily lives.
In the end, they decided to settle in tents, vacant houses, or rented rooms for a while, and after visiting the hill village and the hot spring village, they decided to settle in whichever one they liked best. The fairies are said to be fine with this, as they can choose their own residence as they wish.
According to the dark elves, they are thinking of building a third village when they settle down.
And the last problem is snacks for the fairies. This was to be solved by building general stores in the hill village and the hot spring village.
There have been places to distribute the supplies I brought in, but from now on, they will be operated as full-fledged stores.
Well, since the scale of the economy is very small, the store will be profit-neutral, but I argued passionately that the store is important for the fairies in order to make them work.
I am hoping to control the fairies somehow by providing help for the sweets. Earnestly.
“Wataru-sama. Welcome back.”
“Welcome back.”
“Um, I’m back, Annemarie.”
As I was drinking beer while remembering the meeting, Princess Annemarie spoke to me.
That’s not a problem. But I just don’t understand the fairy who is settling on Princess Annemarie’s head with a look of self-importance.
Also, I don’t think I deserve to be told welcome back by a fairy who came to this island with me.
“You’ve already made friends with the fairies, haven’t you?”
“Yes! We’ve become friends!”
“…I see… That’s good to hear…”
“Yes!”
…It is hard to tell Princess Annemarie, who seems very happy to have made friends with the fairies, to be careful because those guys will turn into devils if you treat them lightly.
I’ll tell Lea-san later to be careful with fairies because it’s very bad for the princess’s education.
“Speaking of which, what happened to the underwater village?”
“Oh, that’s right. All the buildings except for the coral and the meeting place have been completed. So we were planning to move in when Wataru-sama returns.”
Everything was completed except for the coral and the meeting hall… It was about six months since they began building the village, right?
It is not surprising since the building speed was tremendous, but in Japan, it should be about the time it takes to build one ordinary house.
Even if the structure is simpler than that of Japanese houses, it still feels like a fantasy abnormality.
The meeting place was going to be built in cooperation with the dark elves, so this migration is going to delay the completion of the meeting place a bit.
“Do you have enough furniture and stuff?”
If the move is completed quickly, it will free up one summoning slot, but it’s also not good for them to be inconvenienced in a hurry.
The dark elves are accustomed to nature, so there is no need to worry, but if Princess Annemarie, a princess, and a young girl, lives in a harsh environment and becomes ill… the Sea God-sama will be angry with me.
“I asked my mother for the furniture, so it’s no problem.”
She asked Her Majesty the Queen for it? There is quite a distance between the Mermaid Kingdom and this island, but it seems that distance is no obstacle in front of the princess.
“Well then, let’s discuss the moving schedule around the day after tomorrow.”
It could be tomorrow, but considering the possibility of a hangover, it should be the day after tomorrow.
“I understand.”
“Speaking of which, is the underwater village already filled with coral?”
If that picture is accurate, it should be a colorful coral village. I’m really looking forward to diving there.
“No, we have planted the basic corals, but it will take a long time until the corals spread all over the village. It’s fun to take the time to grow the coral while envisioning its completion!”
It is a little funny that I am supposed to be talking about coral, but it is like listening to a little girl talking about bonsai.
“When do you think the coral will spread throughout the village?”
If it grows at the same pace as on Earth, I have no idea how long I have to wait. It could be hundreds of years if things go wrong.
“When will it be… is it? Lea, when is it?”
“Well, we will encourage growth as we work on it, and since it is a good place for coral growth… I think it will take shape to some extent in six months. It is worth seeing the beauty of the village as it gradually changes, so please visit regularly, Wataru-sama.”
I’ve heard that coral grows at a rate of a few centimeters a year, but will it take shape in half a year?
Either the mermaids are amazing, or the coral is a fantasy.
“Village in the sea? A village under the sea? I want to go!”
The fairy who was crunching the fruit on Princess Annemarie’s head started to say something troublesome as soon as she finished eating. [T/n: I don’t know if it is a boy or a girl, but I’ll just assume it is a girl for the time being.]
“Ufufu. Yes, I’ll be sure to invite the fairies, too.”
“Yay!”
No, princess, how are you going to take the fairy underwater?
Hmm? The ring that can transform you into a mermaid is like a sacred treasure, and it automatically optimizes the wearer’s size.
“…Just try this on for a minute.”
Letting my curiosity get the better of me, I slipped the mermaid-transformable sacred treasure through the fairy’s arm.
As a result, the sacred treasure was resized to fit the fairy’s arm, and a strange creature was born with wings and a lower body of a fish while flying in the sky…
This is interesting.
