Half-elves Fall in Love

Chapter 372: Description of the unsung hero

Maia was soaking wet and standing in front of the three strange people. I stood there and asked Juline to wash my body. When I told her that scrubbing with a washcloth is not sexy, she immediately washed me with her boobs, which was very wonderful. No matter.

“Maia, your clothes are wet, so get out of the hot water anyway”

“I don’t mind getting wet. The water in the spa doesn’t freeze or harden, so it will dry soon”

“No, that’s not the point. If you’re talking about it……you can do that even if you’re out of the hot water”

“Andy-sama……”

The fact that Maia’s clothes are shaking in the hot water is bothering me. Manners. I’m sure Maia’s priority is to be able to work on Gash-kun, the lizardman. ……Also, in Maia’s case, she doesn’t really care about her clothes because she jumps around in various places and gets dirty. Frankly, it’s a bit dirty.

“I mean, take them off, Maia. I’ll wash those clothes”

“……Wash?”

“I’m still a little concerned about you being a snowman on the roof of the Baron’s mansion”

“Oh, I’ll take care of that, too……”

“Juline, please wait a minute. I’m still good at laundry”

No, when you’re in a male-dominated crossbow team, you have to do your own washing up and even if you don’t like it, you’ll improve your skills.

“I wonder if it’s that dirty……”

Maia took off her clothes in a fidgety manner. Gash-kun, who saw it, prostrated himself. And open his mouth to me.

“Y, You Dragon-sama, you’re suddenly undressing and you’re dirty! Can’t you show a little restraint!?”

“Stop Gash. I think that the dragon looks up to him as its lord. I think you’ll be seen as disrespectful”

“Wh, What the heck is a dragon rider doing in the middle of nowhere in Trot? And such a young fellow……”

“Not exactly the middle of the city, is it?”

“Th, That’s true, but”

Somehow Bright-san, the dark elf who looks just like Nord-san, seems to be quite calm and knows dragons well.

“You can easily see through the human body of a dragon”

When I say that while washing Maia’s clothes in the common tub, she chuckles.

“It’s a simple deduction. She made her entrance with a spectacular leap, flying downhill from one direction to the other. If she wasn’t a human dragon, she would be an ace knight or master knight, wouldn’t she? And she doesn’t even look like a beastman”

”……Well, yes, but”

“Also, I thought it was a good idea to not care about the common sense of the human race. The magical strangeness is only the final deciding factor”

“……I see”

I still think that people usually think, 「No way there’s a dragon here」, but I guess she doesn’t get caught up in those stereotypes.

“So, is she really a dragon? I haven’t gotten that answer yet”

“……Correct. And Juline over here is also a dragon”

“Yes?”

With a smile, Juline quickly made an icicle in one hand and threw it into the bathtub. Seeing it melt away, Healy, a white female elf, looked very curious and Gash-kun also prostrated himself once again.

“U, Uoo! I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m sorry!”

“What are you apologizing about, Gash……”

“He’s having trouble coping, too. Calm down a little”

“I, It’s a real dragon!? Oh, even the old master has never seen a real dragon in my colony!”

“I don’t understand the mindset of being so condescending to someone you’ve never seen before”

The lizardman and the other two laughed at the strange difference in temperature.

“Dragons often come in and out of this place. There is a black dragon and several blue dragons”

“It’s rare……I heard that ice dragons and fire dragons have different basic strengths and weaknesses”

Gash-kun used strange honorifics.

“It is due to the virtue of the Lord’s presence”

“No, I think it’s just a coincidence”

“……Unexpectedly dirty, it comes out……”

I lightly refute Juline’s praise and Maia peeks at my hand and makes a troubled face.

“Eh, yeah, damn it, I can’t make a big tribute right now, but I have to earn money somewhere”

“I’m telling you to calm down, Gash”

“How does Gash make money in a place like this……”

The lizardman is very eager to show his obedience and the beautiful girls are having a hard time with him. It’s such a strange three-on-three.

———————————————

While struggling with the strange sense of distance, I soaked in the hot water with them for a while and after a while, Grandpa Harry quietly entered and I got out of the hot water.

“R, Right, you said you were from your hometown”

“……Indeed”

Gash-kun got up with me. ……I’m not sure if you’ve ever seen a lizardman with two dicks. And I was also impressed by the fact that his tail was cut off in a weird place.

“We heard from a certain guy……recently, it’s been possible to enter the elf forest from this town? Where do we go to talk to them about letting us in?”

“……No, there are certainly cases where you can get in. Why do you want to go in?”

“That’s a little……hard to believe”

“Would you say that after taking a bath with a dragon……?”

“I’m sorry. But it’s something I can’t discuss with you. Anyway, we’d like to go into the elven territory”

“Umm……”

I’ll give the request some thought as I get dressed in the dressing hut. ……Lizardman, dark elf and a white elf girl.

“Couldn’t that Healy girl be a child of the northern clans……or”

If she’s there and she’s going out of her way to ask me how to 「Get in」, she’s either not related to the northern clans or she’s an outcast who has been cut off from them. Or she’s a……half elf who would not be welcome.

“She’s a half elf, you see. It’s a bit of a situation”

“Circumstances?”

“……Well, either way, there’s no way he’s got any connections”

He didn’t tell me what the 「Circumstances」 were, even though he hinted at it. I’m like……I’ve told you in case you’re interested. About 20% of family affairs.

“There is a clan leader of the white clan and a vice leader of the cherry blossom clan in the baron’s mansion. But I don’t think they’ll let you in without any connections”

Although the forest is now relatively open, it is still difficult to say that it is easy to be let in. The nervousness of the elves is understandable. Life in the forest is comfortable, too comfortable, perhaps too comfortable and if you throw even one fire into it, it can easily spread. Even though not a few of the elves are strong, they are too few in number. There is no way they can protect that entire large forest from malicious intent. I need something somewhere to give me the assurance that I will never be careless in the forest. In my case, the trust of the dragons, the holy beast and Polka itself are being pawned. But where can I find that with these three? They are a completely different group. I don’t know who or where they are. If they were to cause an incident in the forest, disappear and start raiding the forest, there would be no effective defense.

“Only a handful of them have been allowed in so far. They won’t let you in that easily”

“I see……well, it can’t be helped then”

Gash-kun withdrew easily.

“Don’t you have something important to do?”

“I’m looking for something. ……It’s important. But I know it’s in the forest. And the healing springs aren’t bad either, so I’d say that alone has paid off”

“……Well, that’s good”

A strange trio. Feeling a little disappointed, I parted ways with them and returned to town.

-

I went to the baron’s mansion and found my mother working there.

“Oh, Andy”

“Mom. How are you doing?”

“It’s a big house and it takes quite a while to see all the lights in all the rooms……some of the rooms in the back have to be lit in the daytime”

With a wry smile, she disassembles a single lamp and deftly maintains it. She is a former blacksmith’s wife, I guess.

“But the atmosphere here has changed in a short time. It is the presence of elven ladies and maids”

“The baron is taking the initiative in trying to create a friendly mood”

“Otherwise, it would be difficult to change even a small Polka. Well, I heard that the wives nowadays also use the threat that 『Bad children will be kidnapped by the elves』”

“……That’s quite a problem, isn’t it?”

The most important thing is to keep the mood of friendship between the wives and the elves, so that the wives don’t start to disrespect the elves.

“But I don’t know why they were quarreling with each other……I don’t understand it when I look at Irina-san and Christie-san”

“That’s because those two aren’t all elves. Mom and I aren’t all Trots either”

“That’s true, too. Why couldn’t we have done something as simple as just get along with each other?”

What my mother says, well……I think so, too. The northern forest is still a place where many different opinions are exchanged and friendship is in danger of being overturned if something goes wrong. The baron and the elves are making efforts. It is not an easy accomplishment. It is also something that must be carefully considered. I thought about it slowly and was about to speak when I heard Irina’s voice from behind me.

“Friendship only begins when you believe in the other person. You can’t just join hands without faith or righteousness. It is Apple and your son who have created this opportunity”

“Irina-san”

My mother straightened up.

“Once you join hands, nothing will be as easy as this. It seems to me that nothing could be more mutually beneficial than this and the presence of Smithson-dono was indispensable in convincing the forest elders that it could be done. ……The answer is, yes. Without Smithson-dono, we had no choice but to fight each other”

“……I still can’t believe that Andy could do something so amazing”

I feel embarrassed when someone says that to me. I feel like I can’t say that much.

“There is certainly a part where it can only be said that heaven was on your side. Even if Bonaparte-dono and Dianne were the only ones on the battlefield of the holy beast, no friendship with Polka could have been born. If the dragons had been favored half a year later, nothing would have been done. The baron is a skilled man, but he was not in a position to make a decision that would have received the blessing of the elves. And if Smithson-dono had not been born in Polka, the focus of……friendship would have been blurred. But Smithson-dono was there, with everything in place and he did it”

“…………”

“No wonder we elves are all in love with him”

“……That’s not quite the same……umm”

It seems that she still can’t come to terms with the current situation of Irina and the others falling in love with me. I guess this kind of explanation, or love affair, by Irina has been repeated many times.

“I still have a feeling that Andy is cheating somehow……”

“If you’ve come this far, let’s feel the problem with the elves who deliberately deceived you, mom”

“What, you’re blaming us?”

Even if it’s my fault, I think it’s normal to avoid contact when you’re around 10 women and you’re insane. Yes.

When I told this story in Selenium’s room, both Jeanne and Selenium laughed.

“Well……there are a lot of girls with circumstances that prevent them from having normal relationships, Andy-san’s surroundings”

“I feel like there are a lot of factors around that and a lot of defiant like 『I can monopolize it because it’s a hero』. Especially the ones who have been attached to me recently”

“There’s also the effect of the nickname trainer, which someone has spread around”

“Umm……it’s a matter of taking all of that into consideration and finally being satisfied with it or not, isn’t it? I’m sure it’s hard for my mother to understand……”

A huge combination of reasons make me the hero of the elf territory and the drunkard around me. I’m sure it would take a lot of time and effort to explain all of this to someone without misunderstanding. ……I’m glad I didn’t have to explain it to the lizardman.

“Well, it’s okay if they don’t understand, isn’t it? Originally, if we ourselves were happy, we wouldn’t care about the system or understanding or anything like that, and that’s the only way to keep things the way they are around you, Andy-san”

“Right”

“Well……that’s true……

At the end of the day, that’s the only way to go. If you go to Celesta, you can get 10 or 20 wives and there is nothing wrong with that, but as long as you work hard in Polka, that is not the case. If you are going to live here with the female slaves, you have to at least break away from the institution of marriage and live outside of the general understanding. It’s a question of where you come to terms with it……I hope my mother will at least give me her blessing, if not her approval and I hope she will be able to interact with the grandchildren that will be born here without any worries.

“I’ll leave aside the issue of the lack of a quick resolution. ……Andy-san. Why don’t we do something we can only do now?”

“?”

Selenium smiles.

“You can only have sex with me with this kind of stomach right now, you know? I don’t know when I’m going to get pregnant again”

“Wa……W, Wait, isn’t that a bad idea?”

“Hilda-san has given me her seal of approval? She says it won’t happen unless you penetrate deep and hard? And she’s taught me a spell to make it safe to ejaculate inside?”

“I’m going to drink my milk and give it to Selenium’s baby”

“Ah. You don’t want to suck only on Jeanne-chan, do you? Recently, I’ve been missing Andy-san’s tongue-in-cheek breast sucking because it’s been all about Peter-kun”

A beautiful pregnant woman and a pregnant woman with a small birth who pull my hand to the bed while saying.

“……You know”

I sigh.

“I’m going to go up against Peter if you keep talking like that, really”

“Andy, you’re a 『Boobs-loving polka-dot』 aren’t you?”

“I’m sure you’re a perverted master who loves both big tits and small tits”

The rugged collars around their necks swayed bewitchingly. A chance to bury my dick in the vagina that continues to that plentiful belly and the young body that drips breast milk.

“I’ll prove both to you”

I declared fearlessly. I probably sounded more like a prick than fearless, but I didn’t care.
