"Tell me about your mother, okay?"

"Okay." Erica looked back at Kanna and said, "The first elves created by the creator god AZ himself are called the original elves, also known as the firstborn sons of the gods. At that time, humans were far from being born, and AZ did not limit the birth rate of elves. The original elves had many offspring, most of whom lived in the Sunshine Forest and were known as Sun Elves. Then, some elves who didn't like bright sunlight very much moved to the Moonlight Forest and the Starlight Forest. Although the Moonlight Forest is not shaded by the Tree of Life, the trees in this forest are tall and dense, so the light is not too dazzling during the day. In addition, as the westernmost forest on the mainland, it is the first to bathe in moonlight every night, hence the name. The elven leader who led the people to the Moonlight Forest and the Starlight Forest was worshipped by the people who followed him as the king of the Moon Elves and Star Elves. Your mother is a descendant of the Moon Elf King, the Princess of the Moon Elves. So, Kanna, you are also the princess of the Moon Elves. ”

Kanna straightened up in surprise and said, "That's right! ”

Erica nodded to Kanna and continued, "Your mother's name is Lanceril, and she was born around the year 1300 of the Anthropological Era, but I don't remember the exact year. In 2009, the creatures of the Oasis Forest in the east of the Desperate Sands went berserk, known as the Raging Forest Event, which had a profound impact on the world of Otherworld. Your father, King James, was invited by me to the First City to discuss countermeasures, and met Princess Lanthriel, who happened to be there. The two quickly fell in love. In 2015, the young Princess Lanseril married your father. At that time, their marriage caused a sensation in the human world. It has encountered great resistance within the kingdom of Meredis. ”

"I've heard of this, because there is reproductive isolation between humans, elves, and non-native creatures. The domestic aristocracy strongly opposed this marriage, which would not have an heir. ”

"Yes. But your father persisted in marrying Lanceriel. The following year, there you were there. Kanna, your birth is a miracle. When Mina, the goddess of sin, succeeded in persuading the creator god AZ to create humans, AZ greatly reduced the birth rate of elves, in order to make humans replace elves as the new masters of the world. Most elves become infertile. The number of newborn elves is very small, let alone the half-breeds born under reproductive isolation. Your parents love you, Kanna. ”

"Hmm. Jessica also spoke to me. My parents loved me. But before I can remember clearly, they left. I don't even know what they look like. ”

"Most of what they look like is reflected in you. The golden color of your hair was inherited from your father, and few people had it as bright as the Augustusian family. And this long straight hair is inherited from your mother, which is a characteristic of the moon elves, and humans do not have such straight hair at all. ”

"It's true that most of the people I've seen have curly hair, and even if it's straight, it's not completely straight."

Erica nodded slightly and continued, "Your dark golden eyebrows and big bright eyes are very similar to your father. Elves can't grow such eyebrows, and compared to you, elves will look more slender. But your well-sculpted nose, your thin upper lip, and your lower lip, which is slightly thicker than your upper lip, are just like your mother's. ”

Kanna could hear it, and seemed to have a mental picture of her parents.

Erica lovingly stroked Kanna's cheek and continued, "Your face and ears are like a combination of two. Your father's face is wider than yours, and your mother's face is longer. The ears are even more obvious, and you must have noticed that your pointed ears are characteristic of the elves, but the elves' ears are much longer than yours. ”

"Haha. Yes, I noticed. ”

"But there's one place where you're unique. Unlike all elves and humans. ”

"Where, where?"

"Hitomi!" Erica said seriously, "Your father's eyes are blue, and although there are many types of human pupils, they are nothing more than brown, blue, light blue, silver-gray, and black. ”

"Ahh I had never seen this kind of eye color in the kingdom, and I always thought that my mother's eyes were this color. Kanna interrupted.

"The moon elves' eyes are sky blue. In addition, the original elves were golden, the sun elves were orange, the star elves were silver, and the wild elves scattered around the human world were amber. No one's eyes are as blue as the deep ocean like yours. ”

"Oh?" Kanna looked surprised.

"Kanna, you won't be lonely. You have a lot of relatives and friends who care about you. We are always there for you. ”

"Hee-hee. Erica, you're so nice. Kanna threw herself into the Empress's arms again.

Erica let Kanna be coquettish, hugged her tenderly, and said after a long time, "Kanna." Do you have any interesting insights to share with me in the elven world? ”

"Yes, yes. I saw a unicorn, and it was so beautiful. It's a pity that I can't take it out of the Elven Forest. Also, I saw hills full of gems...... That's right......"

"What's wrong?"

"There's a strange cave in the Gem Hill. There was a gem that looked like a sword. ”

"The Jewel Heart Cave filled with Dimon Blue Diamonds?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Denise is talking about this name. ”

"Ahh I know this......" Erica murmured, as if recalling a distant past, "it was indeed a sword." ”

"Is that really a sword?"

"Yes. It was a jeweled sword born of all things in the fertile land, named Ashley. It represents the beauty of all things in the fertile land. When I was still in the Elven Age, I don't remember what year it was, but Migami-sama took me to that cave. She stroked the hilt of the sword and understood the sound of everything in the fertile land. All the creatures of the earth are grateful for the harmony between the elves and nature, and offer this sword to the most beautiful elven maiden. Everyone said I was the most beautiful elven woman, but I couldn't draw that sword. Maybe it's because I'm past the age of a girl. Erica shook her head, smirking self-deprecatingly.

"I need the most beautiful girl! No wonder I can't pull it out. Hee-hee. ”

Erica thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. ”

"Huh?" Kanna looked puzzled.

"I think there are three key words for 'the most beautiful elf girl'. 'The most beautiful', 'elf', and 'girl' are all indispensable. You don't look like an elf in any way you look like a human explorer. I suggest you try it again in the traditional costume of an elven girl. ”

With that, the empress gestured to the maid. The maid soon brought a dress of an elven maiden. At the Empress's repeated instigation, Kanna followed the maid to another room to change clothes.

It took a long time for Kanna to walk back to the main hall. It's a plain white elf dress. On the chest is a delicate silver brooch with no other decorations. Kanna's straight, blonde hair was draped around her waist, and her long skirt fell to the ground. Having never worn such a thin dress, Canna's cheeks were flushed with shame. This scene is like falling flowers and colorful, and it is like clouds steaming in the clouds. Edward was dumbfounded. Garcia had unconsciously stood up, confused. Even Julia, a girl, is stupid.

"It's so beautiful!" Erica exclaimed, "Better than I was back then." In this world, the only person who can compare with Kanna and you is the beauty god himself. ”

Kanna bowed her head and said, "Don't make fun of me. ”

Although Edward and Garcia have seen Canna wear a dress to attend important events of the kingdom many times, it is the first time that Canna has seen such a girly atmosphere, and she is very out of shape. Julia went from being intoxicated to restless, and suddenly felt that she and the princess were really different.

Only the Empress Erica was as unconventional as she was accustomed to, and pulled Kanna to laugh and talk for a long time. Happy times are often fleeting, and a lady-in-waiting reports something in the empress's ear. The Empress turned to Kanna and said, "Kanna, I still have some business to attend to. I can't accompany you for the time being. In the realm of elves, there is no need to be informal, everything is convenient. ”

Kanna got up and said, "Okay." Thank you for the hospitality. ”

Erica kissed Kanna on the forehead and nodded to her fellow Kanna saluting before walking out of the main hall. The elven female warrior with her eyes closed also followed the empress away, her steps light and leisurely.

Kanna took the change of expedition clothes from the handmaiden and walked down the hall.

Edward leaned over and whispered, "Did you notice the steps of the female warrior armed to the teeth?" ”

Kanna smiled and turned to face Edward, "Now! It's far beyond the upper limit of understanding. ”

"It is worthy of being a race with tens of thousands of years of heritage, it is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

"Don't think about it so much. Come with me and draw my sword! ”

Edward should be in tune, and with Julia, Canna can't wait to keep up.

Kanna suddenly turned around and shouted, "Garcia, don't stand there in a daze. Keep up! ”

"Oooh!" Garcia, who was still looking at Kanna in a daze, finally came to his senses and trotted out of the hall with his partner.
