Great Forest #5

“Ratatoskr?”

–Yes, it is the name of a chatterbox recorded in the myths. She realized that there was a realm of space in Yggdrasil that could only be accessed by high elves.

Ellenoa had sent the seed of the world tree to Mitra, but she hadn’t realized this would happen. At best, she had thought it would expand Mitra’s abilities by a level. The high elf, who had been silent since then, opened their mouth to speak, –Dmitra… By planting the world tree in the godhead of the earth goddess… Maybe she is higher than us… Hrmm.

–I-Is that so?

–I don’t know exactly… Just a guess… Perhaps I am half right…

If that was the case, then Ellenoa had unintentionally created a large incident. However, the high elf who pointed it out didn’t sound angry at all. The voice which pointed it out was so soft that Theo’s eyelids felt heavier just by listening.

–A human has been granted the right to Ratatoskr. Fortunately, there isn’t much use in hearing the voice of the forest… At most, he can borrow a little mana…?

–Um, that wouldn’t be a big problem.

–Yes, it is okay if it is at that level.

The silent voices agreed with the opinion. The power of telepathy and being able to borrow the mana of the forest was good for the saviour of a high elf. Either way, ordinary magicians already had flashy powers. Above all, it had been the decision of the high elves to bring out the seed of the world tree, so they couldn’t just blame it on Ellenoa.

In any case, Theodore Miller was exceptional in many ways.

As soon as the story was settled, the cheerful elf spoke in a loud voice, –Then let’s change the subject. Has the Meltor delegation entered the forest? They arrived sooner than expected, so it is a bit late to greet them, but who wants to go? Me? Or me?

–I’m not going. But you can’t either.

-…I’m going to sleep.

–I would like to see them, but I think there is a more eligible person this time.

The four high elves expressed different opinions, but there was one right person.

The quiet high elf, Ellenoa, slowly raised her hand… Although, that wasn’t visible to Theodore who could only hear their voices. In the end, there was an unanimous agreement that she would meet them.

As soon as they came to that conclusion, the high elves vacated Ratatoskr one by one.

–You said you were called Theodore? I’ll see you later! The cheerful voice felt distant like an echo in a mountain, while the beast-like voice disappeared silently.

—I’ll prepare a welcome. I’m looking forward to it. The gentle voice disappeared with a respectful greeting.

–…Good night, the high elf with the sleepy voice said briefly before disappearing.

They were truly unique personalities. Theo was able to distinguish who they were just by listening to their voices. Theodore said goodbye to them with a smile. In the end, Theodore and Ellenoa were the only ones left.

She greeted him once again in an excited voice, –Long time no see, Theodore! I’m glad to see you again.

‘Ellenoa, thank you for this invitation. I didn’t know you would call me as a state guest.’

–I didn’t know this was going to happen. I’m in this position, but I didn’t do that much.

It wasn’t exactly as she stated. Edwin was of the master class and one of the elves’ greatest warriors, and he treated the high elves with great respect. It was why he couldn’t neglect the benefactor who had saved Ellenoa.
