Heclena came to Arna and Jihu’s house.

A forest to the west, quite far from the village to the east. I never thought I’d end up here again.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been in this forest.”

After settling in the east, I never intentionally went to the forest further west than the sacred tree.

Some memories kept coming back that I was trying to forget, and I didn’t have enough time to go to the west, where there wasn’t anything good to do.

Probably most elves living in the east are like that.

‘The surveillance is probably due to Carmene’s work.’

Carmene’s uproar over the human warrior was one of the most stressful events for Orvia.

In any case, Arna’s intention was to do everything in advance to prevent such an unfortunate incident from happening.

“Fuhi hin!”

“Wow, what is it.”

Heclena, who was standing near the house, was surprised to see a horse sticking its head out of the stable.

As she got closer, the horse looked at her curiously and licked Heclena’s face.

“Are you raising it at home? It’s cute.”

Heclena grinned and stroked the horse’s mane. As I was doing that, I heard an obscene moan coming from the house.

“Uh… … .”

The sound got louder and more intense.

“Ugh… ! Jihuyaat♡!”

Heclena looked towards the window where the sound was coming from.

“Ah, with that human… If you go now, you’ll be very surprised, right?”

“Hahaha♡, I like it… . Please do more… .”

Then he smiled and sneaked into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, the loud noises outside quieted down. Heclena frowned slightly and looked at the stairs leading upstairs.

So soon someone was coming down.

“Uh… .”

“Well, what is it.”

Ji-hoo, who was coming down shirtless, was so startled that he almost collapsed.

“Who are you… Ah, it was him then. What’s going on at this time?”

“Orbia asked me to keep an eye on him, so I stayed nearby and stopped by for a moment. It seemed like something fun to do, so I tried to surprise you a little.”

Heclena laughed mischievously.

‘They say elves become more childish as they get older.’

Jihoo suppressed his displeasure as much as possible, smiled shyly, and came down the stairs.

“You didn’t come here because you had something else to do, right?”

With that, he went down to the kitchen and poured some water. Heclena followed him and slowly looked around the house.

“Yes, I live in a good place. Who built this house?”

“I heard that my sister built it.”

“Sister? ah… It’s about Arna.”

Heclena smiled and nodded.

“I will give you this. Just a moment.”

Jihoo returned to the upstairs room where Arna was.

“I don’t think there’s any need to watch… .”

Unlike at Carmene, the relationship between the two seemed much closer.

Moreover, I felt a sense of peace and leisure. It was a clear feeling that was revealed even if I tried to hide it, and couldn’t be imitated even if I tried to imitate it.

At this point, it might have been just the pointless nonsense and excessive worry typical of an old elf.

It was just about time to go back.

– Boom!

“Ji, Jihoo!”

Arna’s urgent voice was heard.

I went up without incident until just now.

Heclena hurriedly followed Jihoo up the stairs.

“What’s going on?”

“Aaaah! Well, what is it!”

The naked Arna, who was looking at the fallen Jihu, was shocked to the point of fainting when he saw Heclena suddenly appear.

“… … While passing by.”

In front of Heclena, who hurriedly climbed the stairs, there was Jihoo, who had collapsed after spilling all the water he had brought up.

He slowly got up.

“Be careful… . You said you might stumble when it’s dark.”

“That’s right, this is my first time like this.”

Jihoo smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and picked up the cup that was lying on the floor.

“Water, I’ll bring it back to you.”

“Enter. I’ll bring you a drink.”

Arna took the cup from Jihu’s hand and went directly down to the first floor.

Jihoo, with a dazed expression, slowly stood up.

“I thought something happened.”

Heclena laughed helplessly.

I was so nervous because Orbia probably didn’t ask me to go for nothing. Even though I tried to pretend nothing was wrong, my body reacted first.

“Haha… … .”

Heclena turned her head to see Jihoo smiling like an idiot and scratching his head.

He is still a very kind person. I don’t know what will happen as time passes.

“Well, I really just fell, right?”

“Yes.”

There seemed to be nothing to hide. On the contrary, the awkward laughter of wanting to get over this situation quickly seemed to prove that it was really just an accidental fall.

Heclena left home again.

However, the elf’s intuition that something might happen was vaguely felt.

“I should stay nearby a little longer.”

–

Heclena, who suddenly came, left, and Arna returned to me, frowning as if it was strange.

“What is happening all of a sudden? This morning. I feel bad.”

“Something… Let’s see if there’s something on your mind. I don’t think I need to worry about it.”

If it was something that really needed attention, they probably would have tried to let people know about it, but they wouldn’t have just watched it like this.

“Jihoo, you don’t have to drink it?”

I took the water Arna offered me, drank it, and went back into the room with her.

After having intense sex for several hours, Heclena suddenly appeared, and it seemed like my tired body, which had been tense for a moment, would fall asleep at any moment.

As I lay down on the bed, Arna came next to me in her pajamas.

“Should I just go and live in a village other than this forest?”

“There is no need to do that… .”

Arna doesn’t seem to like being associated with other elves, perhaps because she lived alone from an early age.

Other races would have the power to eliminate annoyances, but elves do not, so it is understandable that Arna is uneasy.

“… I don’t have one, but I think that would be good too. Because I get bored just staying here.”

Let’s think about understanding Arna’s feelings as much as possible. Because that’s important now.

“I feel good wherever I go with my sister.”

I held Arna tightly like a sleeping doll and closed my eyes.

And the next day, I started the day as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Today was the day Arna was supposed to do housework and I was supposed to go hunting. I stood in front of the board on the wall with my duty number written down, erased the name written on today’s date, and left the house.

I laced up my boots in front of my house, bathed in peaceful sunlight.

“Jihoo, catch a bird today.”

Arna said to me as she brought out fodder for the horses.

I saw Arna’s back as she passed by me. As I watched for a moment, Arna turned her head and smiled at me.

“Let’s eat it fried like we did before.”

“Hmm… .”

Will it taste the same? Chickens and monster birds flying in the elf forest… .

I think it was similar when I ate it before, but I guess it’s okay. Because fried food is always right.

“Okay, I’ll be back.”

I left the house with my bow and sword.

It’s already been a while since I came here. Walking through the forest was no problem at all, and I am confident that I will not be afraid of anything that appears here.

First, I decided to catch a bird, so I walked for a while, vaguely looking at the sky.

“The weather is nice too.”

The sky is clear so you can clearly see whatever appears.

And soon a large bird was seen flying from afar.

I immediately raised my bow, took aim, and shot at the flying bird.

– Swish!

The arrow flew quickly.

“Ah… .”

It missed the side of the monster and fell helplessly again.

However, perhaps stimulated by my attack, the monster did not fly away but instead flew back towards me.

Of course, this is not to give you a chance to shoot again, but to attack.

I quickly descended and fired another arrow at the monster flying towards me.

As the monster flew back up to avoid the arrow, it drew its sword.

I would be thankful if the guy in the sky came here himself.

The monster flew towards me again, and as I was about to swing my sword, I stopped because of an uncomfortable feeling in my arm.

“Gasp!”

And at that moment, the monster snatched my sword and flew away.

for a moment… Arna bought it for me… !

It wasn’t damaged in a fight, so it doesn’t make sense to lose it like this!

“Wait!”

The monster must have sensed my confusion and quickly flew away. I also grabbed my bow and hurriedly followed it.

If I had known this would happen, I would have come riding a horse.

At this rate, there is nothing I can do but follow along. Even if you can shoot a bow as well as Arna, it will be difficult to hit a flying guy while running.

“Ugh… .”

Still, perhaps because of the weight of the sword, it is neither high nor fast. As you go, you may lose strength and lose your sword, and you may have an opportunity to attack.

I did some untimely aerobic exercise and chased birds.

Hold a bow and arrow in both hands so you can shoot whenever the opportunity arises.

So for a while. It was a time when even a monster bird could not help but become tired.

The monster dropped my sword and hid in a tall tree.

It is now.

I immediately pulled the bowstring and let out a heavy breath.

The aiming point was quite shaky, but if you shoot calmly, you can hit any distance.

Unless what I have done so far has been in vain.

– Piyung!

When the arrow left my hand and flew halfway, I was sure I had hit it right.

“Keee!”

After seeing the guy fall down the tree making a strange sound, I immediately picked up the sword and ran to it.

Something that is not that big of a deal makes it really hard.

The monster that fell to the ground was hit by an arrow in the head and was lifeless.

In the meantime, you hit your head. After all, I am not normal either.

I tried to return with the monster I had hunted.

– Chuck!

Then a spear flew in front of me and stuck in me.

Come to think of it… I ran frantically quite far.

Having a bad feeling, I put down the monster again and picked up my sword.

So, the guardian of the forest appeared in front of me.

A guardian that I couldn’t see because I was always accompanying Arna. As I was leaving the forest alone, there was no way I could be stopped.

I’m not sure I can win alone.

Even though I am a lot stronger than then, I still won 2-1 with Arna.

The guardian, who looked identical to the one I saw then, was staring at me with an emotionless expression.

Anyway, let’s fight.

Even if I don’t win the fight, I’m confident that I can run away to where Arna is.
