Chapter 1625: Lost High Elf ⑥
Fors-san seemed hesitant, but perhaps sensing that I wouldn’t be conceding on this matter, she finally agreed and we walked hand in hand. n0𝗏𝑒𝓵𝗎𝓈𝔅.𝗰0𝕞
Even though she was under the influence of her experiment, Fors-san’s body had become quite small, so I was very prudent while holding her hand.
[……Hmmm. Your hands sure are big. Ahh, no, I see, it was because my body had shrunk huh…… Good gracious, I have almost no opportunity to hold hands with the opposite sex, so I’m somehow feeling strangely conscious of this. Well, it’s a rather pitiful story given I’ve lived for such a long time, but I have hardly had many opportunities to go outside in the first place, so the chance I’d interact with others is limited.]
[Have you always been a researcher like you are now?]
[Well, I’m quite the staunch recluse after all. If I were to state why such a thing happened, I probably may have been a recluse because I was directionally challenged. It was quite a long time ago, but when my parents were still alive, they didn’t let me out much because I would get lost if I went out alone. No, it may sound as if I was mistreated, but I simply got lost too much and they were genuinely worried about me…… Perhaps, the reason I was even called the Sage of the Forest was because I often wandered off into the woods.]
I don’t really think anything she said back there was a laughing matter, but Fors-san seems to be enjoying herself quite a bit. No, rather, she unexpectedly seemed to be really nervous about holding hands, as I could feel her eloquence in speaking was to gloss over that nervousness.
Well, in any case, since Fors-san says it was a long time ago, it really must have happened thousands of years ago. The typical lifespan of a normal Elf is approximately about 2000 years, but High Elves don’t have a lifespan, so it’s not entirely clear how long ago it was, but Alice said that the Human Realm was created at least within the past 20,000 years, so it is certain that it would be within that 20,000-year timeframe.
[Ahh, it’s alright. I know people much worse that you can’t even be compared with them, so it’s perfectly fine.]
[……I don’t know if I can really say it myself, but when you say they’re someone much worse than me, I can only think of them as someone considerably crazy……]
[Because they are considerably crazy.]
Unnn. Fors-san actually gives me the space to engage in conversation, so there’s actually no issue at all. Her level of gentleness is completely incomparable to Eden-san when her switch is flipped.
<Afterword>
Makina : [Good grief, for my beloved child to be saying that much, who in the world is this considera———– Me!?]
Serious-senpai : [No, rather, why the heck are you surprised?]
Makina : [Eh? Even though I’ve been talking reservedly and narrowing down what I’m talking about……]
Serious-senpai : [……The heck is this woman talking about?]
