Episode.74 Who on earth made it?

Like the endless universe beyond the sky above the clouds, there are no limits to knowledge.

That is why the heart rate among scholars cannot help but be agitated by gaining new knowledge.

I felt like I could understand that feeling a little bit.

“Then, Triche.”

“… If it’s a question about parasites, there’s nothing more I can answer. It’s not that I was silenced or something… I really don’t know much about that.”

Triche skillfully handled the horse’s whip with one hand and began to straighten her hair, which had been damaged by the wind blowing in from the front, with the other hand.

【Tsk, pretending to be pretty is a maid topic.】

“How do you know that the parasite is a bug?”

【That’s right.】

Triche suddenly seemed to stiffen after hearing what I said.

As if my words had hit the nail on the head, Triche was deliberately twisting her beautiful hair with her fingers.

It was her only gap that was not visible at all.

Honestly, this one was easy to find.

That’s because I knew part, if not all, of the identity of something that had not even been born yet.

It was too easy to say that I had hit the nail on the head.

“Me too…”

“Me too?”

Triche lowered her head.

Because of that, my hair, which I had worked so hard to straighten, ended up becoming a mess due to the wind blowing from the front.

“That’s what I heard. Well, if you ask me about something that doesn’t exist yet, I have no choice but to not know, so what if I ask you about something like a legend?”

“Well, it doesn’t matter if I don’t know… Why do I feel something like an obsession about knowledge I don’t know… It doesn’t matter if I don’t know, legends like that.”

“It doesn’t matter! That’s from our branch… Sigh!”

“… branch?”

“I was so excited… A person like me, someone as big as me, could make a mistake when speaking…”

“What are you saying, I can’t hear you clearly. What branch?”

I couldn’t hear what Triche said after the branch.

All I can see is the shape of the mouth puffing up.

“No, it’s nothing. The branch… Okay, I was so tired that I just couldn’t speak for a moment, so you can just forget about it.”

“That could be possible. Since you stayed up all night… you’re not able to fall asleep, are you?”

Triche didn’t even listen to me.

She lightly ignored my words.

“Hmm, by the way…”

“What else? If you say something unbecoming, I will kick you out of the carriage.”

Trice seemed to be hiding something, as it began to sting like the sharp thorns of a purple rose.

“Don’t be so harsh, it’s a different question this time.”

“What else?”

She answered bluntly, trying to remain calm.

“Hmm… I want to repair my weapon.”

【okay! I want you to fix my broken house!】

my weapon.

【My house…】

Under the influence of the system, not only I, Siwoo Han, can grow, but my weapons can also grow.

Even though it was completely destroyed by Verdium… we can’t just throw away a weapon like that.

If only I could talk to Verdium… For some reason, I felt like I could grow something if I could just talk to him who was using the same weapon as me.

“Well… You have the dagger you pointed at my neck during the watch. Can you show it to me just once?”

“Ha…”

Triche let out a small sigh.

Eventually, her skirt was lifted, and Trice’s skin filled my field of vision.

“Feel free to watch.”

The sight of the underwear connected to the garter belt was so dizzying that I started to get a headache.

【Huh, where can I watch as much as I want?】

‘Shut up, of course it’s a dagger.’

【Eek! What did I do wrong that you’re treating me so harshly? Please cherish me a little more!】

Chaewon spoke to me as if she was pleading.

“This… who made this? The quality looks good at first glance.”

I stuttered, embarrassed by her appearance.

“… My mother made it, along with my father.”

【You’re talking about a dagger, right?】

“Dagger?”

【Were your parents blacksmiths? Hammering in a blacksmith shop?】

“No, you didn’t lie to me… to see the skin on my bare legs?”

【Ah… your parents didn’t hammer in the blacksmith shop, but rather pistoned in bed?】

“No, what are you talking about? I just wanted to know where the dagger was made…”

I felt like I was going out of my mind due to Chaewon and Triche’s mind-numbing combo attack.

“… I also need to repair the blade of my dagger, so I’ll introduce you to a place I often go.”

【You’re not going to go to a love hotel and create a new dagger in bed, right?!】

‘What are you talking about?’

There was silence after that.

**********

How long would the silence last?

Until the World Tree, which seemed small, appeared as a very large entity.

Until the bright day turns dark.

I’ve never seen the current country of elves, but no… there are no elves in the world I live in to begin with.

The residents of the elf country of the past looked like very typical druids.

Surrounded by ancient walls, this is a space created by tribes that can observe a thousand years of history.

Various types of towers and buildings where magic and technology coexisted were rising, and various restaurants and exotic tool shops that could only be found in fantasy worlds were lined up.

Travelers from abroad lined up to enjoy toys that could be called magic tools and various dishes and drinks.

Seeing the residents of this city gather together and talk, and the guards tighten security, I almost couldn’t help but express my admiration.

They love nature and do not reject interaction with other races.

However, there is a stubborn part in considering one’s own lineage.

They shun war and love all living things, but do they really think that way on the inside?

“Trice said to me from next to me.

When I came to the country of the elves, I was initially checked by people who looked like guards, but when Ilya waved my hand, I was able to pass through the door right away.

“… Not all elves live in nature.”

I spoke as if I was disappointed because the scene was different from what I had imagined.

【Heh… I thought elves would wear leaves.】

“Usually elves are like that… This is the center, a city can’t be in nature, right?… Only the Violet territory is strange. Since such a powerful person lives far away…”

“I see, but all the elves look different?”

I said, moving my stumpy body here and there.

“Ah… I missed this part when I vaguely told you about the characteristics of elves…”

“Huh?”

“Elves are divided into exactly 3 types.”

“Oh, I think I saw that in a book. Half elves and dark elves, right?”

“Yes, the other one is just an elf, a pureblood elf… but they don’t get along very well. Politically. It’s okay with common people, but it’s not good with people in high positions.”

“If you look towards the market over there, there are some humans, usually the husband is an elf or the wife is an elf.”

“Then, you’ll often see elves in the land of humans, right?”

“Of course it is, are you talking as if you are a human and have never been to the ‘Ring Guard’? I feel bad.”

Triche spoke jokingly as he stopped the carriage.

Just like Trice who hit the nail on the head earlier, this time I was left speechless.

That’s why I found a way to turn things around.

“Um, by the way… When are you going to take down that skirt you lifted up earlier? I heard you’ve already seen the dagger…”

“… If they enjoyed looking at the skin on my thighs, wouldn’t it be right for them to take the skirt down again? I couldn’t get off because I was driving.”

“Who, who sees, tastes and enjoys it?”

“Oh, I never said anything about tasting it?”

“Well, that’s not it… I made a mistake.”

“Then… Let’s play Sam who draws with me.”

“What draw?… Oh, is that branch?”

“… Because the branch is really nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

“I said I don’t care.”

“… If you are satisfied now, can I take the skirt down again? They say my lower body will get a little cold.”

Triche put the skirt she had lifted back to its original state.

“Well, I was going to put it back the way it was, anyway… If anyone hears it, they’ll think I did something strange…”

I tried to talk back, but I couldn’t even get my head around it.

Have I really never been to a human country?

Actually, I’ve been to what I assume is a ring guard. It seemed like a place much further in the future than the present time.

‘It seemed like it was full of skeletons when I went, but…’

【Ugh, let’s not even bring up that topic… Please. I feel like I’m going to throw up.】

Fortunately, she didn’t pay much attention to my actions, probably because she just said it.

Triche still didn’t seem to believe that I was from another world.

She got off the coach to pet the horse.

At that time, as if Illya had been waiting for just this moment, as soon as the carriage stopped, she kicked down the carriage door… No, she opened the door, stretched, and got out of the carriage herself.

Illya immediately runs to the coach seat.

“Woah, what kind of conversation did we have for so long! Didn’t you say you’d come back inside the carriage after the story was over?”

“Was that so? I don’t think so…”

“Is that important now?! Dear… if you hate me, tell me straight up that you hate me…”

It was Illya who started bothering me again as soon as she saw me.
