Chapter.23 Elven Forest

The number of times the summoning spell is cast has increased from 1 to 5 times a day, so you can summon ingredients with confidence.

The main ingredient was balsamic vinegar.

Balsamic vinegar refers to vinegar made by placing the highest quality grape juice in a wooden barrel and maturing it.

Like whiskey, the longer it is aged, the more fragrant and deep the taste. It is an item that best fits the expression that taste grows.

What I wanted to teach the elves was a dressing using balsamic vinegar.

Since it does not contain mayonnaise, even elves can make it as much as they want. As long as you can replace fruits similar to grapes, you can.

Of course, this is only if you like the taste.

With the sole intention of relieving the appetites of these unresponsive elves, I first chopped onions. Mix the crushed onion with the minced garlic. Then mix the highest quality balsamic vinegar.

Additionally, the sweetness of oligosaccharides, the saltiness of salt, and the refreshing taste of lemon juice add flavor. Then, a great dressing is created that enhances the taste of the food that the elves eat.

Drizzle that dressing on the vegetables in front of us. And I looked around.

Apparently, Elena is the most suitable person.

I handed her the vegetables with the dressing on them.

“Try it once.”

With all the elves’ attention focused on Elena, she took the vegetables I gave her to her mouth without any delay.

When she first came to the restaurant, she was hesitant about my dish. But now I am a complete believer. Because he comes every day and eats my cooking.

“wow! “El is amazing!”

Elena shows an unusually excessive body movement and lets out an exclamation.

It seemed like a gesture of wanting to express this taste more to his fellow countrymen. Thank you for that.

“The vegetables I always ate have become more sophisticated. “It has a variety of flavors, but still maintains the texture of the vegetables, and especially the deep sweetness and aroma!”

“is it so? “Thank you.”

When Elena made such a fuss, I sprinkled dressing on the vegetables in front of Neria, the chieftain.

Neria, who was curious thanks to Elena, suddenly brought the vegetable to her mouth.

Then, in surprise, its long ears perk up.

“Our elf forest is currently in great danger. So, it’s amazing that this gift was given by a customer even though it wasn’t the time of year. “How does it taste like this?”

For some reason, it felt like I was talking to the elves rather than to myself.

It seemed like they thought this would be a refreshing shock to the lifeless elves.

As soon as the chieftain came out, the elves started giving me intense looks. So I sprinkled dressing on all the elves.

“Oh my goodness!”

“oh!”

“Oh oh!”

Exclamations of exclamation erupt from all directions. It was only natural that my sense of taste was stimulated for the first time in my life.

“No, what is so delicious about this kind of grass? “No matter how much you spray it on.”

“I like meat. you.”

Sereina and Lurin shook their heads, refusing the grass and dressing offered to them. Wow. But even if that were the case for Serena, Lurin was bound to take my side in the end.

Just like I’m always on Lurin’s side.

“Lurin, come here ah.”

“Huh?”

Rurin, who was shaking his head while looking at the grass with Cereina, is attracted by the special move and eventually approaches with his mouth open and takes the dressing.

“hey! “You courageous black bastard!”

Sereina, who had been betrayed, ran towards Rurin.

“Hmm, it’s delicious. Sweet and sour. “Well, since you did it, it’s only natural.”

Whoa whoa!

At the same time, Serena’s kick was aimed at Lulin. The two immediately rolled over and fell on the floor. I just started doing shows.

But what is shocking is that the sunglasses then came off.

At that moment, Neria’s eyes meet Lulin and Serena.

Soon a major disaster occurred.

“O great being!”

“Great One!”

The elves who were eating stand up with thoughtful faces and begin to hit their heads on the ground.

Just like Elena did when she first met Lulin.

And not just one, but two.

“Ho ho ho! “You got caught!”

Serena got up from rolling around and started laughing wildly. Those guys who can’t be stopped.

“Eh Elena! To bring the great race above… What on earth is this… !”

Neria looked like she was about to faint and spoke to Elena.

“noisy! Pay attention to me! To this red dragon, Serena!”

Serena emits light and releases the polymorph. The center of the elf forest. A red dragon roared and flew into the square where the building was located, and the surprised elves could not even raise their heads.

A storm of mana arises.

“It’s vulgar. “Anyway, the red one.”

Lurin doesn’t pay any attention and is eating vegetables in the same position she got up from fighting Serena. I guess I was really hungry.

“Neria.”

“Sweet customer… ? You are human… Why don’t you bow down to the Great One? Then I got very angry… “I accept it!”

When I called the chief, Neria trembled and scolded me. The way to resolve this confusing scene is to make Serena calm down.

“Sereina!”

“Why are you calling me? “It’s going to be exciting from now on.”

“If you don’t polymorph and come back to my side for three counts, I will make you stand in the middle of the elves with your hands up. “As I always say, if you don’t like it, you should leave Gray City.”

“Such shameful!”

“one… two… .”

“okay! I understand! “Wow, you’re so fast at counting!”

Serena polymorphs again and lands in front of me, her red hair fluttering.

“Neria, please wake up with the others.”

The elves looked at me with shocked faces when they saw the dragon listening to me, a human.

It’s a face of complete disbelief.

“Munch, elves. L is the same as me. So, if you don’t listen to El, you will munch on it like grass.”

Lurin, who is clearly a dragon in the eyes of the elves, says that. As expected, Serena, who was showing off that she was a dragon, stood next to me in her human form and couldn’t move.

“Well, let’s talk for now. Conversation. wake up.”

The elves are now beginning to obey my words. He jumps up with a very frightened face.

Elena, who clearly did not want this situation, approached Neria with a troubled look.

“Neria, it’s okay. El is a person with mana that surpasses that of a dragon. But you are a peace-loving person. “There is nothing to worry about.”

“that is… how… .”

Neria looked at me in disbelief. Just as the elves cannot estimate the mana of a dragon that surpasses them, my current mana is at a level that even the dragon cannot estimate.

Because I was able to hide my mana freely.

***

It took a long time after that for the elves to understand the existence of El. It is an incredible sight to see a human giving orders to a dragon.

After understanding that fact, he began to show awe towards El.

“Is it worth it for me to go wild? The person who overpowered me when I went on a rampage! It’s about a structure that can be obeyed. how is it? It feels like it would be okay to create a harem with elves? Ho ho ho.”

“Did you do that on purpose?”

“well?”

Serena looked at El with a meaningful look. As expected, this woman is a dragon with a fox on her head. El evaluated Serena like that.

And Neria urgently had to replace a seat, bow her head, and explain why she had to call Elena.

“Actually, there is a gold dragon named Irimantium nearby.”

“Gold Dragon? “Those greedy bastards?”

Serena frowned. It seems like I have some bad memories.

“I knew there was a dragon, but I couldn’t tell if it was gold. “I thought you were sleeping, but you woke up?”

“That’s right. “Great being.”

Neria nods in the affirmative to Serena’s question.

Gold Dragon had great meaning to L. A dragon heart that occupies most of one’s heart. The owner of the Dragon Heart is the Dragon Lord.

And the Dragon Lord, who is said to be the leader of all dragons for generations, came from the Gold Dragon.

The next Dragon Lord has not yet been elected after the previous Lord died after handing over his heart to El. So Red and Black are fighting harder.

A race that produced the Dragon Lord. But there was one big drawback.

It lies in the fact that he is a greedy person who loves gold and silver treasures and beautiful things to the point of worshiping them.

Of course, such a being cannot be a Dragon Lord. So El’s guess is that the position of Dragon Lord may remain vacant.

“Irimantium, who has a rare nearby, recently woke up from a long sleep. And he told us to send an elf as a tribute to our elves as an attendant.”

“Did you?”

Anyway, there are a lot of strange creatures called dragons. L thought so and asked back.

Then Neria took a breath and continued what she was saying.

“If I hadn’t been lacking, I wouldn’t have had to call Elena, but both I and Seline Noria fell out of favor with Lord Irimantium. So, naturally, we called on Elena, the next in line as the chieftain.”

Elena, who was standing quietly next to El, was surprised by Neria’s words. It was my first time hearing this story.

Plus Irimantium.

It is a dragon that inflicted severe trauma on Elena as a child. That’s why I couldn’t help but be so nervous the day I first met Rurin.

But he was clearly responsible for the situation. Ranking is not something that can be changed. Something that is determined from birth.

“is that so. “When it’s my turn, it’s natural for me to take responsibility.”

Elena nodded quietly. Of course I didn’t want to go. However, Neria, Seline, and Noria had also been there, but what she refused to do was abandon her rights and duties as a being born in the elven forest.

Of course, you can just ask.

The people around him had that much power.

She knew that she would go out of her way for her if she asked, but Elena did not let those words go easily.

no.

Not like that.

I already begged L to come here with me. I would like to ask you again on that topic.

Elena was afraid of being seen as a nuisance by Elle.

I didn’t know that before.

A human being.

No, I didn’t know that beyond being a human being, I could have these feelings towards others.

All emotions are first experiences.

But no one can see that El has someone she loves.

Elena was happy just watching from the side. There were times when I thought it was funny that I was happy and had no greed, but maybe that was because I was born as an elf with no greed from the beginning.

But sometimes, even she has a greed that surprises her. The desire to watch over him until he dies.

When El and Lurin left Grace City and did not return for a while. That was when he disappeared without any contact.

Elena had to feel lost in the world.

When Elena was alone with those feelings, Serena suddenly asked Elle.

“What are you going to do?”

“Well, Elena is a doctor in Gray City. “I can’t give it to you.”

L answered that question as if it were completely natural.

“That’s why I followed along. “Don’t worry, Elena.”

Serena patted Elena on the back. People who think it’s natural to come forward even though they haven’t said anything.

Well, these people are not elves.

Elves are a race that listens to requests when asked. However, they were a race that rarely took the first step.

Elena, who wanted to ask for a favor but was hesitant, was given the hand of salvation so coldly.

Red Dragon Serena.

In fact, it was Serena who suggested taking El with her. The reason he came to El and asked for a favor was because he also wanted to show El the forest of the elves.

“But… Such lungs… .”

Elena blurted out those words without thinking. At that moment, Elena lamented for the first time that she was an elf. The fact that words like this come out is purely an elf characteristic.

“Let’s go to Rare together and try to persuade, show off our skills, or whatever. So Neria, don’t worry too much. “Elena is one of the members of our Grace City restaurant, so we plan to protect her until the end.”

El clearly emphasized being a member to Neria.

member.

This was the first time Elena knew that she was a member of Dragon and El. The sound of those words was so good that my ears perked up.

Those were such happy words.

“Thank you!”

In the end, Elena bowed her head and accepted the favor.

“Elena, you got to date amazing people.”

Neria took a deep breath, unable to believe all of this.

If it can end without paying tribute, there is nothing better than that. Moreover, there are two great beings. It was not something that could be opposed.

“Huam… .”

At that moment, when everyone’s expressions are serious, a yawn spreads through the building.

Black Dragon, who was dozing off and yawning while leaning on El’s back, rubbed his eyes and uttered a word in surprise at the attention being paid to him.

“Why are you watching?”
