[……Isn’t it alright? The Elven Forest is famous for its beauty and its abundance of trees, and since both My Lady and Miyamsama have been so busy lately, wouldn’t it be just right for a change of pace?]
When I nod at Lilisan who asked that while tilting her head, Lunamarisan also added some favorable words .
Seeing her glance and the nod she sent towards me, it seems that Lunamarisan agrees that this festival is a good change of pace for Lilisan .
The conversation would go on smoothly…… is what I thought would happen, but Lilisan was looking at the two of us like she’s thinking about what we could be up to now .
[……That certainly is a great choice if we want to go sightseeing . However, putting aside attending the Sacred Tree Festival, I’ve never visited the Elven Forest before, so I’m a little nervous . ]

[Don’t you have any information about it, Lunamarisan?]
I had heard that Lunamarisan was a half-elf, half-demon hybrid before, so I asked her if she knew anything about the Elven Forest since she had elven blood in her veins, but Lunamarisan shook her head .
[My father certainly was a half-elf, but he passed away when I was very young…… My mother may have brought me to attend the festival in the Demon Realm several times, but I’ve never visited the Elven Forest before . ]
[……Is that so . ]
[Yes, since the Sacred Tree Festival is mainly a festival for the Elves, the people who know more about it must be a pure-blooded elf . ]
Even though this country apparently have good relations with them, but there was still a part of us that would feel uneasy if we go to a place where we lack information .
Lilisan may have agreed with participating, but because she’s in charge of us, it seems that she wants more information in advance .
That’s when a woman suddenly came to my mind .
[……Would Sieg-san know about this?]
[Indeed, Sieg is a pure-blooded elf that was born in the Elven Forest…… Luna, around this time…… is Sieg in the middle of patrolling?]

[Yes, perhaps…… I’ll call for her . ]
Apparently, Sieg-san seems to be from the Elven Forest and seems to be the perfect person to ask about the Sacred Tree Festival .
After receiving Lilisan’s words, Lunamarisan went to call Sieg-san .
Sieg-san is one of the people working at Lilisan’s mansion, and it was quite fortunate that she’s an easy person to ask questions to, as I’ve talked to her a lot .
Briefly explaining the situation to Sieg-san who arrived a few moments later, it looks like she understood as she nodded her head, and after sitting down on the reception room’s couch, she looked ready to answer our questions .
……She just sat down next to me like it was obvious, but isn’t her vigilance to me too weak? Ugghh… Something smells good…… Calm down…… Keep calm……

[S- Speaking of which, I don’t even know where the Elven Forest is in the first place, but is it far from here?]
[I see . Then, would it be difficult to go there by carriage?]

[Arriving there by flight…… Through something like magic?]
[Eh? Dragon? I see…… So there’s also that way of travelling around here huh . ]
It seems that the Elf Forest is a reasonably far away from the royal capital and it would take too much time to travel by carriage, so it seems that one would usually ride a flying dragon when travelling in such distances .
I didn’t know this, but it seems that using flying dragons seem to be the mainstream method of transportation to get around and carry supplies, and there are even some merchants who specialize in it . In short, these flying dragons are like the airplanes back on Earth .
[In that case, the time is just about right, isn’t it? Is anyone allowed to join that festival?]
[That’s good . I’m relieved . I heard that it’s a festival about hunting and harvest before but……]
[Ah, I see . The festival lasts for two days huh . ]

[Fumu fumu, so they would hold the hunting tournament on the first day, and the people would harvest on the second day huh . ]
[…………………]

[Ah, is that so . I’m looking forward to that!]
The Sacred Tree Festival apparently lasts for two days, with the first day holding the hunting tournament, in which participants hunt in a predetermined area, and prizes are awarded to winners based on their game .
Then, on the second day, everyone would begin harvesting in a safe area . It seems that even children can participate in this event and even I, who can’t hunt, can participate without any problem .
I’ve been told that the fruits of the hunting and the harvest are to be cooked and eaten on the second night, as everyone offers their thanks for the bountiful harvest .
[Heehhh… Then, a lot of people would come visit every year huh . ]
[……Ummm, please wait a moment, you two . ]

[Eh?]
While Sieg-san was courteously explaining about the Sacred Tree Festival, for some reason, Lilisan stopped us for a moment .
When Sieg-san and I turned towards her while I tilt my head, Lilisan and Lunamarisan had dumbfounded expressions on their faces .
[What are the both of you doing just now, Kaito-san, Sieg?]
[Eh? No, Sieg-san was explaining about the Sacred Tree Festival to me……]
[……Sieg-san isn’t able to speak in the first place, so how does Miyamsama understand Sieg’s explanation?]
[That is, well, I can somehow understand it based on her gestures……]
When the two people asked me as if they’re seriously wondering about it, I replied to them while tilting my head .
Thereupon, Lilisan and Lunamarisan look at each other before making somewhat astonished expressions .

[……My Lady, could you understand what she said?]
[……No, all I could see was just…… Sieg nodding, shaking her head, and occasionally moving her hands……]
Ah, that’s right .
Thanks to my Sympathy Magic, I was able to read what Sieg-sam want to say to me not with words, but with her emotions, and I thought it was very easy to understand because she was also adding some gestures with it but…… For Lilisan and the others, it just looks like Sieg-san is making gestures while I talk to myself .
[I see, Sieg…… The reason why you took the initiative in escorting Miyamsama was because you don’t need to write to have a conversation with him……]
[………………]
After hearing what Lunamarisan said, Sieg-san deeply nodded once, and for some reason, she looked taken aback before turning towards me, and then, began waving her hands while looking really flustered .
She tells me that it’s not just because it was convenient for her, but because she likes me as a person .
She’s probably worried that I’ve been hurt by her earlier affirmation, but I’m strangely embarrassed when I heard such a thing from a beautiful woman like Sieg-san .
As for me, Sieg-san is a very easy person to talk to, so I’ve been talking to her every time I see her regularly but…… I know that Sieg-san is a kind person, so she wouldn’t react in such a way, but there was a part of me that was honestly worried that she finds me annoying .

However, with the way she acted just now, I was very happy to find out that Sieg-san, who I’ve talked the most in the mansion aside from Lilisan and Lunamarisan, looks favorably towards me .
Dear Mom, Dad—— Sieg-san has told me lots of things about the Sacred Tree Festival . Also, I’m happy to say that—— it seems that I’m getting along with Sieg-san .
