Huh? What the heck is wrong with her? Should I call the ambulance? It seems she hit her head pretty hard, though I don’t know when …

“J-just now … those magical beasts protected you right! I-I’ve never heard something like this before! Proud and aloof magical beings protected a human? Impossible! And more or less the divine moon rabbit protected a filthy human like you!? just who the hell are you?”

Magical beasts? Is she talking about these cute fur balls?

“Uuum … magical beasts? Care to explain what it is?”

“Are you an idiot? You don’t know what magical beast is?”

Sorry I really don’t know!

“Magical beasts are divine creatures with powerful magic power. Those creatures you’re holding is the --- hey you, just what the heck are you doing? Let them go!”

Magical beasts huh? I wonder, are slimes and other monsters in this world magical beasts?

“Hey are slimes and other monsters considered magical beasts too?”

As soon as she heard my question, the violent elf woman snorted while looking at me with pitying eyes

This girl ... is really pissing me off ... ...

“You’re really a big idiot! The monsters you’re talking about are demonic beasts. They are only beast without much intelligence. Magical beasts are very rare creatures you human can’t hope to see in your lifetime. This place, the is a peaceful and very wonderful place and is abundant of magic power that’s why many magical beasts stayed here for a while”

“I see …”

I held rabbi in my hands and gently caress its head.

“Rabbi, it seems that you’re a very amazing creature”

“Purrr~~”

“You! how dare you touch a great moon rabbit with your filthy hands! Die!”

Once again, the violent elf woman brandishes her sword towards me, but before I could react rabbi face the elf while its body is glowing with golden light.

“Purrr!!!”

As if there is an invisible shockwave, the elf woman stopped while trembling.

“Purrr!!!”

“What? No please I apologize for my rude behavior … so please …”

It seems rabbi is scolding her. A small and cute rabbit is scolding an elf? What a very unrealistic and surreal experience! As expected of a virtual world, I really can’t underestimate it!

“So you really understand what rabbi is saying?”

“Y-yes, every priestess that is sent to guard and maintain this place is given the ability to interact with the magical beasts … ... I-I deeply apologize for my rude behavior a while ago … Uum mister ---“

Oh? What’s with this 180 degrees attitude revolution? Do magical beasts really scary? This cute fur balls are scary?

What’s with this logic? Is this the new trend now? Cute are scary? Isn’t ‘cute is justice’ supposed to be?

“Ah now that you mention it, I still didn’t know your name isn’t it?... now then my name is Hein Vilestone just an ordinary adventurer … What’s your name?”

“Hein Vilestone? ... V-VILESTONE!?”

As soon as she heard my name I noticed that she immediately stiffened.

“A-are you re-really a V-vilestone?”

“Yeah why?”

“H-how are y-you related to m-master D-draig Vilestone?” She asks while trembling.

“Yeah he’s my father why?”

This time as if the time has stopped, the girl only stood there motionless and then lowered her head while remaining silent.

--- Then, a sound leaked out from the elf girl’s mouth.

“Guu---“

“……Gu?”

“Guwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh-----“

“Wha--!? What’s happening!?”

Suddenly, the elf girl sat on the floor like a puppet that has its strings cut, she fell in the ground and burst into tears.

Facing against a situation I didn’t encounter in my whole entire life, I could only stand there dumbfounded.

“Just what the hell happened to you all of a sudden ?”

Regaining my composure, I hurriedly went to her.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa I-I didn’t know! Ahhhh I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry .............. and then talking to, w-without formalities and respect, I’m sorry ahhhhhhhhhh——Wuhaaaaa .............."

With bean-like tears rolling down on her cheeks while crying out loudly, the elf girl’s sudden action left me dumbfounded and left me lost as to how to respond in this situation.

Who is this?

Seeing this strange situation in front of me I couldn’t help myself but retorted in my mind.

In the end, was the violent and prideful elf girl a false bravado or was this the character she had all along---

“Purrr~~”

“Eh, wait this is my fault?”

Rabbi just sent me an accusing gaze.

Eh? You’re also at fault you know! Just who the hell is scolding her just a while ago? Isn’t it you?

"Wuhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .... .I’m really sorry ....... young masterrr~ ..... I-I didn’t know! I’m sorry I attack you and insult you ... I ..... .uwaaaaah"

Young master?

Is it because I’m now a noble? Nah slim chance … maybe because of my father? Maybe mother? Or both?

“Hey stop that! I forgive you so you can stop crying now!”

“Uum hic … re-really?”

“Uum …. y-yeah so stop crying now …”

“Hic … Uun … hic”

Uwaaah! So troublesome!

After I patiently tried to calm her down, she finally manage to calm down.

“So I still didn’t know your name right? Can you tell me?”

I ask while trying to change this awkward atmosphere

“M-my name is Lefeana Ords, the current priestess of the it’s a pleasure to meet you young master!” She answered.

“Ah … that … um … can you please explain why you’re calling me ‘young master’?”

“Eh---?”

Lefeana was stunned when she heard my question while looking at me with wide eyes.

Mou! Isn’t that reaction just a little bit too much!

Okay, okay! I understand, it’s my fault for not knowing so please spare me with that overboard reaction.

“Uum ….”

“Eh … ah yeah … it’s because your mother is Princess Leviana Vilestone am I right?”

... wait, Princess ?

“Hm, yeah”

“Then don’t you know, Princess Leviana Vilestone is the first princess of our kingdom; the Elven Kingdom. She was supposed to be the next queen but she refused and chooses to live a normal life with Master Draig Vilestone. Don’t you know this?”

She asks me while cutely tilting her head.

No sorry but I really didn’t know. But still what the heck! My mom is a princess?

“N-no, she didn’t told me about it”

“I-I see, well I guess Princess Leviana has her reasons. But young master … um c-can you p-please g-give me m-

master Draig’s signature?”

“Excuse me?”

As soon as I said that she immediately kneels in the ground.

“I-I’m sorry! I got ahead of myself! I just thought it’s an opportunity so …”

“Eh? No stop that, quickly stand up! I just want to know what you mean”

“Y-yes… Uum, the truth is I’m a very big fan of Master Draig Vilestone ….”

What the!

A fan ? What ... ... my father is even an idol now ?

“… Master Draig Vilestone is known as the strongest Genius Swordsman in the human’s kingdom. Not just that he was also the direct descendant of Leonardo Vilestone; the Hero who vanquished the Demon Lord of Darkness. It is also rumored that Master Draig is the reincarnation of the hero because of his skills and talent that even rival the great hero!”

“R-really? I didn’t know!”

“Huh? You didn’t know that too?”

“Yeah, although I already expected for them to be someone great but I never expected it to be this awesome!”

Then why the heck is father working as an instructor? Is it a hobby? Or he just wants to stay low?

“But you sure know you’re stuff!”

“Of course! I’m a big fan of the hero, Leonardo Vilestone. He defeated the evil demon lord and met a beautiful princess who was confined and imprisoned by the demon lord at that time. After the hero defeated the demon lord,

the hero frees the imprisoned princess and then proposed to her under the light of a beautiful full moon. Kyaaaaaah!

So romantic!”

A very typical Hero x Princess love story!

“Ahem….”

“Ah…S-sorry!”

But still I never thought that my family right now has very amazing backgrounds.

“Uum…Young master?”

“Yes?”

I was caught up with my thoughts that I didn’t notice Lefeana was staring directly at me.

“Young master, what are you doing here in this dangerous forest?”

“Ah…. well I have a quest to do inside this forest. Father asked me to do something”

“P-please let me help you!”

“Eh!?”

I was caught surprised. I look at her and noticed she was wearing a very serious face that seemed to say she would take only ‘yes’

I don’t want to have a stalker inside a very dangerous forest and especially I can finish this easily if I have her so …

“Of course, I’d be grateful if you can help me”

“Un! Then can young master please tell me what is the quest?”

“Okay, father asked me to find some ”

“That’s all?”

“Yes, although I still don’t know what looks like”

“Then that’s easy, I also have here in the ”

“Oh I see, isn’t that great that there is------ wait what!? There is here?”

“eh!? Ah yes … is the favorite food of the magical beasts as well as demonic beasts, but this can only grow once a year. It is also nearly impossible to cultivate this kind of plant so it is very limited. Once a year various high-level demonic beasts gather around the that’s why it is very dangerous to harvest it but because is abundant with magic power these kinds of plants can grow safely here and there is also no risk of demonic beast entering the area. Well, magical beasts wanted to eat it but I guess they can spare some for you!”

“Purrr~~”

Rabbi who is at the top of the small unicorn’s head this entire time purred as if agreeing with what Lefeana said.

“Really? Thank you very much rabbi!”

I said while caressing the head of this adorable little creature.

“Purrr~~”

“Then I’ll gladly take it! Thank you very much Miss Lefeana!”

“Le-lefeana is fine…. Then I’ll take you there”

Lefeana led me to the back of the giant tree. As I was walking behind Lefeana I noticed something engraved in the giant tree.

It was a very complicated pattern of what’s it looks like a magic circle. All sorts of marks were on the magic circle and its pattern was very complicated to an extreme.

In the center of the magic circle was a pair of triangle overlapping with each other and formed a star pattern.

But I wasn’t that surprised with the magic circle being there. I mean this is a virtual world with a fantasy concept you know, it’s not that unusual seeing magic circles scattered around in the world of magic.

You might even found a magic circle under your feet all of a sudden ... but the thing is ... ...

--- What surprise me the most was the words written under that magic circle.

“This is …..”

I accidentally muttered as I extend my hands and touch the words written in a language very familiar to me.

Noticing the change in me, Lefeana stop walking and turned around to face me.

“Strange is it not? There is a story passed down on every priestess that this big tree was the source of the abundant magic power in this place. This tree was supposed to be the nest of the legendary mythological divine bird; the phoenix!”

“Phoenix?”

“Yes that is why this tree is called it was said that inside this tree, a very dangerous and powerful monster was sealed. There is also a story that it was the great divine bird: the phoenix itself was sealed. But even now, no one knows the truth. No one can even read and understand the writings written in the tree -----.”

Lefeana was telling me something but I wasn’t really listening to her. My attention was focused solely on the writings in the tree.

“This writings.... How is this possible!?” I subconsciously raised my voice in shock.

Lefeana who is beside me was surprised by my voice.

“Impossible! How could it be here!?”

The me who in the past had always tried to be calm and composed, always wearing a poker face as to not show my deepest emotion to anyone was now totally in shocked.

This letters…. this is H-Glyphics!
