I am currently in [Another World] and as expected, the space inside had also expanded just like my magic limit.
Right now, it can even contain all of the elves within it.
However, even if it could fit that many people inside, it’s still a long road for everyone to live and relax here.
Even so, it’s nice to see the effect of my rising magical capacity in real form.
After that, I left the space, and when I went out, I saw the elves building a house.
They stood several trees on the ground and stacked the other end at one point, forming a pointy hat-like shape that they covered with grass. It was made poorly that it can barely be called a house.
“Reina.”
I approached Reina who’s still giving orders.
I don’t know why, but she looked nervous.
“Envoy-sama!”
“Ah~, drop that envoy thing. My name is Liam. Please use that instead.”
“Understood. Everyone~, from now on, please refer envoy-sama as Lord Liam, okay~”
“Ye—-s!”
The elves that are in the middle of working, replied all at once.
They really are earnest.
Anyway, I focused my attention to the house that’s about to be completed.
“So it’s nearly complete, huh.”
“We’re very sorry… we don’t know how to build a house properly so…”
“No, you don’t have to apologize. I should have known that it’s going to end up like this since building a house is a carpenter’s job.”
As expected, letting them live in such a shabby house is too pitiful.
But the problem is that we need more money for it. What should I do?
“Kyaaaaaa!! Stooop iittt!!”
“—-!”
A sudden scream interrupted my thoughts, and the elves also stopped their work as their body tensed up while looking where the scream originated from.
I quickly went in that direction.
“Ah! Lord Liam!”
I heard Reina’s voice as I was running towards her.
When I arrived, I saw an elf being surrounded by several armed men.
Although they seem like adventurers, they looked vulgar.
“Hehehe, we decided to pick up some dropped left-over money here after a big battle
“Hehehe, since there was a big battle around here, we came to pick up some leftovers, but to think that we would find a high-value product over here…”
“That’s true… this elf alone can give us more profits than the drops of a hundred hunters.”
“Should we taste it first before selling it?”
They were discussing by themselves while laughing in a vulgar way. They resemble hyenas looting at the leftovers on the battlefield.
“Release that child!”
“Aaah?”
Noticing my presence, they turned their heads towards me.
“What? It’s just a kid.”
“Oi kiddo, if you want to play hero, do it somewhere else.”
“This is an adult’s business.”
They started laughing at me, without any intention to release the elf that they caught.
“Lord Liaaamm!”
Her face was on the verge of crying.
“Don’t make that face, Suzy. I will save you soon.”
“Y, yes.”
It seems that calling her name helped to calm her down a bit.
On the other hand, the hyenas flipped.
“Oi kid, don’t look down on adult y-”
“[Magic Missile]!”
They’re not an opponent worth talking to, so I quickly shot magic at them.
Chantless [Magic Missile]: 17 continuous shot!
17 bullets of [Magic Missile] instantly blew up one of those men.
“Go-hocck!!”
That man flew away, then swung around in the air, before hitting the ground.
Foam was visible on his mouth while his face was trashed, and his limbs were bent in a rather unusual way.
“You brat!”
“Looking down on us!”
The remaining hyenas threw Suzy aside and jumped on me all at once.
Two of them pulled out their cheap-looking swords and went to slash me.
“Contract Summon: Liam!”
I summoned my own phantom.
“Wha-!”
“S, splitting into two!?”
“[[Magic Missile]]”
My phantom and I shot the [Magic Missiles]. The consecutive shots from both us blew the remaining hyenas away.
The magic bullets had hit them one after another, that it seems like they’re dancing in the air before falling on the ground, just like the first one.
“Amazing…”
Other elves had also arrived at the same time I defeated those hyenas.
It seems that one of them had witnessed the things I did and told the others.
I looked at the elves and then back to the fallen hyenas.
“…this place is dangerous, huh?”
Obviously, the elves could be sold off for money. That’s something that even I knew.
They always have a high value in the slave market.
Originally, I thought that I could leave them here to make a village but this place is just too dangerous.
There’s no way but to bring them together with me.
I thought about it for a while…
And when I came to a conclusion, I dissolved my phantom and used [Another World].
“Everyone, please go inside.”
“Emm… can we ask why, Lord Liam?”
As the elves’ representative, Reina asked.
“It seems that this place is dangerous. I will take you all to a safe place, so please go inside.”
“U, understood.”
*
I went home to the Hamilton mansion before going to the usual forest.
Over there, I opened [Another World] and slipped my neck in.
Inside the widened space, the elves were bustling with noise.
“We’ve arrived? You guys can come out.”
“Lord Liam said that we had arrived but… where?”
Though she’s still confused, Reina took the initiative to come out first.
“Eeee!?”
She was shocked.
I don’t really understand but, while looking around, she also sniffed the surroundings, checking the smell of the new place.
“Ah… a completely different place… why? What happened?”
Reina was surprised.
Following her, the other elves went out as well and they also got shocked by the sudden change of scenery.
“You guys noticed that we moved to another place?” [1]
“Yes. This is a completely different place…”
“I carried all of you with magic. This place is safer.”
At least, there’s no need to worry about being targeted because this place is on the premises of a noble’s mansion.
“Lord Liam carried all of us using a single magic?”
It’s not just Reina. All of them are surprised.
Although it’s understandable since from their perspective, [Another World] is almost the same as teleportation.
Because of that misunderstanding, they all glanced at me with sparkling eyes.
Translator and Editor Notes:
[1] Honestly, It doesn’t take an Elf to know that someone has moved from forest to another forest. All it takes is a simple memory.
Ed: My two remaining brain cells are dying.
