As I sigh and shake my head, attempting to ignore He, who watches me, I can't help but contemplate why things have suddenly gotten worse. I had asked Mia to speak to Goya, yet here I am in this predicament. What could she have said to him? I can feel his glares burning a hole in the back of my head.

"Hero Kura! These cupcakes have cute patterns drawn on them, I report!"

"Yes, they are very pretty,"

Nana thrust the cupcake towards me, displaying the floral patterns of its topping with pride. The cakes were absolutely gorgeous as if an artist had put their artistic touch on them. The most talented in the world have to be the chiefs of the elves.

It has been four days since the welcome-home party started, but it is still happening. Mia's parents had kindly offered for us to stay with them, but we had chosen to remain in the tree house this whole time. We didn't wish to intrude upon them while they had recently come together again with their child.

Mia was surrounded by plenty of elves, who were chatting away; she was clinging to her parents tenderly, an incredibly sweet sight to see. Tama and Pochi were beloved not just by the elves, but also by the brownies who would do the cleaning and serving. They were beginning to treat the two as if they were their own pets.

"Duck jerky?"

"This is red-deer jerky, sir!"

"Correct,"

"You girls are pretty good! Here, this one will stump you for sure..."

At the moment, they were either getting fed or, more accurately, playing a game in which they attempted to discern the kind of jerky by taste alone. Standing behind the two of them, Liza monitored their behaviour closely to ensure they did not get carried away. While doing so, any snacks she was offered were being quickly devoured by her.

"Master, I brought you some peculiar tea cakes,"

"Thank you, Arisa. There's no alcohol in this, is there?"

"I keep telling you: I won't make that mistake again!"

Arisa let out a joyous giggle as she dropped down next to Satou, clutching onto a basket of petite cupcakes which, even though they seemed dull, were actually bursting with delicious fruit goodness. I had already had a bite and it was heavenly.

"I will feed you, I insist,"

"Nana, more,"

"So soft,"

"These pastries are delish!"

After showing me the cupcake, Nana quickly broke it into small pieces for the fairies. Initially, their relationship had been rocky, but now they get along quite well. Unfortunately, one of them seemed to be a little too close to Nana. Unfortunately, one of them seemed to be a little too close to Nana. Two fairies were perched on her shoulders, while a third, who had exclaimed, 'So soft,' had settled in between Nana's breasts.

With a gentle smile gracing her lips, Sara sits gracefully, surrounded by a small herd of fairies that she is lovingly feeding. The gentle light of the room and the joyous fairies surrounding Sara only accentuated her natural beauty. At least I don't have to worry about her making the same mistake as Nana.

Those of us who were not able to understand the fairies' speech, which was in Elvish, wore translation rings in order to facilitate communication. Mia's parents had bestowed the rings upon us, which resembled the ones the Japanese summons had worn when we encountered them and Princess Menea in the Lumork Kingdom.

The rings must be rare, yet they allowed us to borrow them without any fees for an indefinite period of time. I heard from the people of Bolenan that an elf had previously been very passionate about creating translation rings, so they were not too unusual in the area. I wish I could have had the chance to meet the elf and learn about the process of their creation, but sadly they were snoozing away in the World Tree in something called a Sleep Tank.
