The Elf Saint is a NEET, so I Forced Her to Work in Another World

Main Character (Side Chapter)

***The Exhibit Grounds, Holy Palatial Gardens...***

The grassy plains to the north side of the Holy Palatial Gardens were already filled with people even before the official time for the exhibits to open. Visitors came from all walks of life and from all the races constituting the population of Chersea and the Other Realms, they flocked to the Human Saint's extensive official estate to gaze and wonder at the achievements of a peaceful and harmonious relationship between the human, beastfolk and demons. And since it was also an opportunity for some enterprising individuals to advertise their products and services and earn a living, the organizers permitted early 'clients', though with their own separate area, so as not to pose a danger (accidents) to the exhibits itself.

Among those who were selling their merchandise were a few beastfolk artists from Cherwind. Their sales pitch included the line that they were once beastmen refugees, and were taught to draw together. Now, they were selling books they call 'speaking drawings', but for Lady Hinwe Tal-Inwir, it was actually...

"This is a manga!" she exclaimed, almost surprising everyone else near who heard her shout. "You guys are doing manga?"

The beastmen artists exchanged confused looks, as Lady Hinwe's companion and maid, Meanor, pulled her aside.

"Your Holiness," the elf servant whispered. "If you keep shouting like that, you'd soon attract unwanted attention to you. Next time we know it, our cover is already blown, and the other saints will know that you are here."

"M-My bad, Meanor," the Elf Saint giggled, "It's just that, I'm surprised these Dog tribe kids made manga. I can't contain my excitement! I wanted to read those right now!"

"I understand you're happy about it, Your Holiness, but keep your voice down is all I'm asking you."

"Alright," Lady Hinwe, disguised as a common elf by wearing 'commoner' clothes, then asked the beastman artists, "did you guys really make this?"

One of them, a dog-girl named Goots (as her small name-plate said), stepped forward, "Yes, Miss Elf! I personally made the drawings for book 1, then my siblings did books 2 and 3."

"Ah, what's the story all about?"

"Are you familiar with how Lady Ursura of the West Ursus became our queen?"

Lady Hinwe shook her head.

"That's the gist of it!" the dog-girl triumphantly declared. "I won't tell you here, though; or I'll spoil the fun."

The Elf Saint clapped her hands, "Interesting!"

"And do you know, Miss Elf?" Goots continued, "Let me share to you a little trivia; the King of Cherwind personally taught us how to draw, as well as other stuff like cooking and washing and—"

"Hold up, Goots!" another dog-girl, Moots, intervened. "You're already holding back our customer from looking at other merchandise!" Then, Moots turned to the Elf Saint, "My apologies, Miss Elf. My sister really loves talking about our former teacher, which is His Majesty the King Kuro of Cherwind himself."

"Kuro of Cherwind?" the elves exchanged puzzled looks.

"Oh, my bad. It is one of His Majesty's nickname in our lands, the most famous of which is, 'The Eternal King of Cherwind'," Moots explained. "However, in these parts of Chersea, he is the 'Lord Kuro of Arles'. I just learned that he is also a baron and a hero among humans. Well, I remember back then that the king looked unassuming, really, and he loves to teach and share his knowledge to us...including my playmates. In fact, we'd love to make a book of speaking drawings about him, but..."
