- There are thirteen days and six hours until Emile being unfortunate.

At the entrance of the Griffin Forest, home of the elf clan.

"..."

The Elf messenger Karim looked at us with a puzzled expression on his face.

Well, what shall we do? We didn't expect to meet again in less than two days!

"We're just here to say goodbye! Not something bad at all!"

“Though you expressed your wish so sweet, but there is a slight possibility that our elf queen doesn’t want to see you at all. Speaking of which, if it is not because of you weird and stranger magic, our lord Kalmen wouldn’t die at all.”

"Emmm... well..."

"Anyway, I'll report it first, just wait here."

He picked up the harp in front of him then lightly played it and then listened to it carefully.

...

Then he pointed at me -

"Lady Nalesha says that you can come in."

"Huh..."

"No way!" Emile shakes her head firmly and grabs onto my sleeve. "Molly Ann sweetheart is definitely going to be played with and manipulated by that innocent-looking carnivorous elf until she loses her sanity!"

"Do you think she is like you..." I tap her forehead and say, "Stay here and wait for me. I'll be back soon."

--------------------------------------------------------

There is a lake hidden deep in the forest of the elves and covered by towering trees from another world.

The sunlight that pierced through the thick layers of leaves lost its strength, turned into a gentle glow that scattered into the air, then blended in the dark woods along the shore and the thin mist.

Nalesha sits on a rock by the lake, waiting for me.

I hesitate on how to start the conversation, but she spoke first -

"Molly Ann, isn't this place beautiful?"

"Well, it's a quiet and beautiful world."

"I see..."

Nalesha looked at the other side of the lake from afar, then her expression started to fill with melancholy which makes me feel a bit sorry for her.

"If you like it here... could you stay and accompany me?"

"Huh!?"

She tilted her head, but seemingly still was unaware of how shocking her words were.

"It's beautiful here, right? I remember you said before that you would be happy to stay in such a beautiful place."

"Well... um..."

"I know, you have a good relationship with Emile. But... when my mother was still alive, she told me - a person can be gentle and kind for their whole life, not arguing with others, not striving for fame and fortune. But at least once, one should be willing to do anything, even go crazy and do their best to fight for their own happiness."

"Molly Ann, do you know? Before you told me that you wanted to be friends with me, no one has ever treated me like that."

"You words are almost like a beam of light... making me want to get close to someone for the first time..."

"Molly Ann, I don't know what it means to do anything at any cost or to go crazy, but I know what it means to give it my all. So, even if it means disregarding Emile’s feeling, I still want to say this -"

"I like you, can you stay here?"

............

Ah, such a heavy confession...

But...

I took a deep breath and smiled -

"Yes, you are right. I really like it here, it's peaceful and quite."

"So..."

"But I refuse."

"..."

Nalesha lowerd her head, her dark green hair flowing like a waterfall by her ears.

Is it because of Emile, after all?

Yes. If you ask why... it's because I am her maid.

"A maid...?"

"Yes, my mission in this world is to make Emile happy and find all the interesting things in this word thing, but not let her suffer or let her feel bored. That's why I can't abandon my role and the mission."

"A maid... a maid that brings happiness..."

Nalesha pondered on the words and her eyebrows gradually relaxed -

"Heh... hehe, a maid, huh? It's really an interesting occupation.""So goodbye, Nalesha, until we meet again."

"Well, until we meet again, Molly Ann, give my regards to Emile."

The elf queen Nalesha finally showed her confidence like a queen and waved at me with a smile...

-----------------------------------------

Guided by Karim, I walked out of the gates of the elf clan.

Emile is still lying on the ground while casually drawing circles, and completely unaware that her maid had just narrowly escaped being kidnapped.

"Emile, we're leaving."

"Just a second..."

She had a pen in her mouth and another one in her hand as if she is drawing something.

"...Alright! Let's go!"

I looked at the circle on the ground and asked--

"What is this?"

"This is a long-distance teleportation circle!~~ It's one of the few things Damia gave me that actually works. I find it quite interesting here, we should come back and play again sometime!"

"Um... Emile..."

"...Yes?"

I hug her and spun around excitedly--

"I love you!! Dolmyl!! Yes! We should come back and play again!!"
