A few days after the emergency talks on the Nakanotori Peninsula.

Exalt Wenduil Alvana of the Halidom of Alfheim sat on his throne and let out a deep sigh.

"The Lemurian Empire of the Second World, huh..."

Resting his cheek on his hand, he looked up at the skylight where thick roots sprawled. The sunlight streaming through the skylight, the chirping of the birds, the scent of the forest... everything felt so comfortable.

At that moment, a gentle, fragrant aroma floated in the air, lightly stimulating his nose. When Alvana turned his face toward the scent, one of his attendants arrived, carrying a wooden cup filled with tea.

"It smells wonderful."

"Yes, this is a specialty tea from the Kingdom of Eir imported through Japan. It is very popular among both the general public and high-ranking officials."

"Hmm. Well then, I shall have a taste."

He took a sip of the tea offered to him.

At that moment, the distinctive fragrance of the tea, its bitterness, and its flavor spread through his mouth and nose. The weariness he had felt just moments ago seemed to vanish, replaced by an overwhelming sense of comfort.

"Delicious... truly delicious. I never imagined such wonderful tea leaves existed. Just a few months ago, I couldn't have even imagined it."

The Halidom of Alfheim, the land of the elves, had been growing significantly ever since establishing diplomatic relations with Japan. It had flourished even more since rising to prominence among the great powers as part of the Demi-Human Nations Federation. Though the only foreigners they accepted were humans from Japan and demi-humans, there was still remarkable growth to be seen.

Holy City Alfarm, Halidom of Alfheim

The many elves who reside in the fantastical city built within the forest of giant trees are working tirelessly day and night to rebuild after the war with the Hardique Empire.

Amidst this city, something incongruous is passing by.

"Ah...... life has gotten much easier since the people from Japan arrived."

"Yes, truly. We hardly need to go out to the fields at dawn anymore."

"Oh? Speaking of which... that's a Japanese car."

Several construction vehicles are moving down the main avenue of the Holy City. The elves watch them with curiosity.

"By the way, how do those things work?"

"Well, I hear they don't rely on magic at all."

"Really? Are they just showing off?"

Numerous Japanese companies have set up branches throughout the country, and infrastructure development has been progressing to activate logistics. Naturally, in consideration of the nature-loving elves, the construction is minimal, avoiding major disruption, so there have been no conflicts with the local elf population so far.

"Honestly, Japanese stores are so convenient! They have everything, so it's a big help."

"Yes, honestly. We can always get fresh ingredients, and they even have vegetables that are only available at this time of year."
