Chapter 12
Tira takes out a magic scroll.
It’s a magic tool which allows using a magic that is sealed within it.
「This is a transfer magic scroll」
Because she’s not able to use transfer magic, she brought the scrolls with her in case something happened in the dungeon.
But, a transfer magic scroll seems to be considerably expensive even though it’s one-time use only.
Maa, transfer magic certainly seems to be rare.
Therefore, she doesn’t normally use it for conventional movement, but
「Since we have successfully captured the dungeon, this much luxury should be allowed」
By the way, I am able to use transfer magic, but I can only go to places that I have visited before.
Although, it’s possible to transfer to places I haven’t been before thanks to the〈Pinnacle of Detection〉, but the detection has a certain range limit. The elf village is far away.
Tira timidly presents her hand.
「…… I, if we don’t hold hands, we won’t be able to transfer together」
Tira mutters with slightly reddened cheeks.
When I grasp her hands with mine, her cheeks redden further.
「What are you doing (anger). I’m not taking just you, you know?」
She threatens me with her staff.
Then, parents and a child happily join hands and Tira uses the scroll.
The scenery instantly changes.
Before I notice, we stand in an unknown room.
Walls made of wood standing on a tree branch and trunk.
The furniture is a little simple, but the warmness of the room makes me at peace.
「This is?」
「This is my room…… Since there are not many humans visit my village, I thought it would be better to transfer us to my room first」
Hearing Tira’s explanation, I jump into the nearby bed.
Hiyahaa~!
Tira-tan’s bedーーー！
I bury my head into the pillow.
Uoooooo, I can smell Tira’s sceeeeent!
「Mama’s bed~」
Filia imitates me and dives next to me into the bed.
「Yosh, Filia. Let’s enjoy mama’s scent together!」
「Enojoy~」
「Suu~ Ha~ Suu~ Ha~」
「Su~ Ha, Su~ Ha」
Is this place a paradise?
It here all the time!
I and Filia completely savor Tira’s scent.
Buchi.
Then, a sound of blood vein bursting could be heard.
「…… What, are you doing……?」
――After that, she was unreasonably mad.
Of course, only at me. Unfair!
I want to become a little girl.
「In, credible……」
The scene before my eyes after leaving the room took my breath away.
A vast forest with unbelievably large trees bundled up together.
If I remember correctly, the highest tree on Earth should be a little over 100m.
But, every tree in this forest is over 200m.
As expected of a different world. The scale is different.
In addition, the houses are really made on trees.
The trunks are linked with bridges which allow moving between
「This is the elf village. Also, the great forest」
Tira tells me with a bit of pride.
「Incredishble!」
Excited by this nature, Filia bounces up and down while shouting in joy.
We move to another room through a corridor.
Still, this tree is seriously huge.
Tira’s parents may be rich people.
I could check using a skill, but that is concerning a personal information so I hold back.
「It’s Tira, I have returned. Please, excuse me」
「Come in」
When we enter inside, a woman slowly rises up on the bed.
A woman who looks similar to Tira.
Filia makes a surprised expression and says in surprise「Two mamas?」.
「Welcome back, Tira-san. I am glad you are safe」
「Yes, Okaasama」
She’s Tira’s mother.
Rather, she doesn’t seem to be older than 20.
As expected of elves of longevity races.
But, despite the young appearance, she seems more haggard than youthful.
It’s probably because of that incurable disease.
…… I see. Certainly.
I can see her body releasing an abnormal amount of magic power.
If she keeps on releasing magic power like that, she will eventually dry out and die.
If she wasn’t an elf who possess an extraordinary amount of magic power, she would be already dead.
「Tira-san, who might that human be?」
Tira’s mama’s gaze falls on me.
She surely looks very similar to Tira, but she looks to be much calmer. She seems gentle.
「My benefactor. I was able to successfully capture the dungeon, this time, thanks to him」
「Ara, is that so?」
Receiving Tira’s introduction, I step forward.
「I’m called Karuna」
「Karuna-san, is it? Thank you for helping my daughter」
「No. It wasn’t much. More importantly, Okaasan, I have a request」
「Yes, what is it?」
Tira’s mama who has almost exact same face as Tira asks.
I look straight into her eyes.
「Give me your daughter, please」
「What are you saying all of sudden――――!?」
「Alright」
「Why are you accepting――――!?」
I got mother’s permissiooooon!
I made a victory pose.
「Wai, Okaasama!? Eh, eh? Did you just exchange your daughter’s hand in marriage!? You didn’t, right!?」
「Let’s see…… I felt that something scary would happen to me if I didn’t……」
「Then, you shouldn’t accept it even more, shouldn’t you!?」
「But, his eyes were bloodshot and his breathing rough…… doesn’t that mean he loves you that much?」
「Totally not!? That doesn’t represent love at all! On the contrary, it’s on the level you should apologize to love!」
「Please forgive me, love」
「You really apologized――――!?」
Haahaa, Tira pants after tsukkoming so hard.
「……? Did I say something strange again?
Tira’s mama cutely tilts her head seeing her daughter in such state.
Rather, she’s really cute. I seriously can’t forgive the disease for harming a person like this.
「…… Nevertheless, what a peculiar person」
I whisper in Tira’s ear.
「I don’t want to be told that by you, but yes, I agree. Okaasama is always like this……」
I somehow understand how Tira’s tsukkomis got so sharp.
「Then, that child is?」
Tira’s mama looks at Filia.
「She’s our daughter」
「Could you not complicate it even more and give a proper explanation!?」
「Ara, Tira, when did you give a birth? No way, I already became Obaasan…… what should I do?」
「Okaasama don’t be swallowed so easily into this person’s words!」
Like this and that, we arrived at Tira’s parents’ house.
