"Roxy? How was your rest?"
At noon the next day, when I went downstairs, I saw Elinalise sitting and chatting with a strange man who didn't know where he came from.
After I came, she whispered something into the man's ear and greeted me, and the man left with a blushing face.
"It's almost ready. We can explore in a few days."
"Oh~ How are you with your little apprentice? I think he seems to be very interested in you."
Rudeus is very interested in me?
Indeed... he values me very much...
I pulled out the chair next to Elinalise and sat down
"It's just because... I was his tutor when he was a child, so he respects me very much."
"That's it, let's eat first anyway?"
Elinalise waved and asked the waiter in the store to serve the food
I looked around and found no one I knew except Elinalise was in the hotel.
"Hmm? Where are they?"
"I'm exploring the maze, but I won't go deep, so don't worry."
"Is that so? Ms. Elinalise actually doesn't go? It seems that you are the only one who can serve as defense, right?"
"Well, your apprentice doesn't actually need me much after he comes. He can tell where monsters are coming out, and the battle will be over almost as soon as the monsters appear, so I will stay and take care of you~"
"Huh? Rudeus still has this kind of skill?"
"I don't know. After all, I'm not a magician."
It seems that Rudeus has made progress in the past ten years
The magic of surveying? I've never heard of it before...
Isn't this his original creation? If it is, there will definitely be no magic chanting, and I probably won't be able to learn it...
"What are you thinking about?"
"Ah, I'm thinking about Rudeus"
"Oh~ you like him?"
I raised my head suddenly and explained with a red face
"No, no, I'm thinking about magic..."
"Just like him if you like him. He is a good man, and he seems to have a high affinity for you. I feel like you can win him over casually."
Elinalise kept pushing his elbow on my waist
No matter how much I explain, she doesn't seem to listen.
But... it's true that I like Rudeus. Although love at first sight is fake, it seems to have really happened to me.
Elinalise, will you believe it when I say this... She should believe it, right? After all, she can [fall in love at first sight] with all men.
After the food was served, I asked weakly while holding a knife and fork.
"Miss Elinalise... you said, Mr. Paul's partner has quite plump breasts, and Rudeus is his son..."
Elinalise looked at me and showed a smile that I couldn't understand
She suddenly stretched out her hand and touched my body randomly, nodding her head while touching me.
"Roxy~Men, it is true that most of them like plumper ones, but..."
As she said this, her hand suddenly touched my thigh
"Ugh!"
"But there are always some exceptions ~ Do you know what I mean? Your reaction may excite them even more."
Excited?!
What are you talking about suddenly? Although I have lived for nearly fifty years, I still have some confidence in my physiological knowledge.
But now I always feel that what I know is just the tip of the iceberg, especially after being touched by her twice...
"Besides, isn't Sylphie also a not very plump type? I think he likes it very much."
"Hmm... Huh? Ah... Does Rudeus like Sylphie?"
"Well, they like each other. You can tell it at a glance, right?"
"This... is like this..."
Yes, you can tell from watching them chatting that they are a good match, so I'm not that surprised.
If you think about it carefully, even if Rudeus and I get together, it will be very troublesome. After all, I am almost the same age as Mr. Paul...
Hmm... and I can't do anything like meddling in other people's feelings...
My first love... is it over...
"Roxy? What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing... thinking about the maze"
"Aren't you too understanding?"
Elinalise held his head and looked at me like he was looking at a child who failed to live up to expectations.
But there is no other way. I finally found someone I like, and I mustered up the courage to invite him on a date, but I was told that he was in love with someone else.
You will definitely feel depressed if you encounter this kind of thing, right? After all, I also want to have a lover, build a happy family, etc...
Suddenly, my forehead was flicked
Lifting his head, Elinalise looked at me condescendingly
"Roxy, if you like it, go for it."
"But he has someone he likes..."
"So what? They are not married, let alone what if they are married? Rudeus is not a Millis Church disciple. With his ability, there is no need to be surprised if he marries four women."
"But... does this count as destroying other people's feelings... and I'm so old..."
"Don't worry Roxy, pursuing your own happiness is definitely not wrong. What's more, if he gives up Sylphie because of your pursuit, it means that he doesn't love Sylphie that much, right?"
"Yeah... too"
"As for the age issue, look at me~ men don't care about age, they only care about your appearance."
As he said that, Elinalise gently pinched my chin with his hand.
"For a race like yours that looks almost eternally young to humans, men will only like it more."
I don't know why, in my heart Elinalise has changed from a promiscuous girl to an emotional master
It turns out that she also thinks about emotional issues... I thought she was the type who puts on a skirt and leaves after going to bed...
"Taught... taught..."
"Okay, I still have an appointment with my little kitten~ You can continue to rest after dinner, and don't run around, otherwise I will be held accountable by Rudeus"
"Ah... well..."
After eating, I went back to the room
Let's go to the market together tomorrow...
"Isn't it wrong to pursue your own happiness?"
