The Moonlight Princess In The Land of the Sun Day
Episode 30 The Fairy of the White Forest

"Kids? Why are you alone in a place like this?"

　The two young men who had emerged from the forest bushes looked at Selene curiously. They have long silver hair and red eyes, but their ears are even more distinctive. Her long, pointed ears were not human ears, and at first glance I could tell that they were creatures called elves.

　Ever since she was born in this world, Selene, who had never seen a proper heterogeneous race other than a dragon, looked at her carelessly, wondering if this was the rumored elf.

　The youths seemed to think that the young elf girl was frightened when she saw an adult she did not know. He probably wanted to say that he did not mean to hurt Selene, so he wrapped the wooden bow he held behind his back and slowly approached Selene.

"Miss, what's wrong? It's dangerous to be alone in a place like this. Are you lost? Which village? I'll send him away."

"Um"

　It seemed that the two were completely convinced that Selene was a fairy, so they spoke in a calm voice. However, a young man behind him frowned.

"Hey, isn't this kid weird?"

"What's up... hm?"

　With that said, the young elves stared at Selene. Of course, her hair color was too white for an elf. They all had silver hair, but this girl's hair was almost pure white. More than anything--

“You have round ears!?

"Yes, okay"

　Selene answered without thinking of anything in particular. In an instant, the attitude of the young man, who had been showing a gentle expression until now, suddenly changed. I furrowed my brows, brought my face closer to take a breath, and approached Selene.

"Are you a Bokkensher!? How did you do it! How did you get into the inside of this Shiramori!? Tell me!"

"Um, that, that ..."

　Selene flinched and tried to pull back, when questions were asked in quick succession. But it didn't work. Thinking that she was trying to escape, the excited young elf pulled Selene's arm forcefully.

"uh!"

　Immediately after Selene complained of pain, the elf holding her arm bent her body into a dogleg shape and was thrown backwards. The other elf, who was standing at the back, was unable to notice her suddenly enchanted partner, and turned her gaze to Selene wondering what had happened.

"You people! To touch my master without permission and even cause him pain! I'm sorry!"

　It was the wrath of Butler's anger at hurting his master. One of the elves who was hit by a powerful body blow managed to stand up while holding onto his stomach. That was how they noticed the presence of little mice standing in their way to protect pure white girls.

　They did not understand Butler's words, but they could tell that the rat was furious with the way he puffed his fur all over his body and flaunted his menacing sharp front teeth. And that rat is no ordinary rat.

"Hey rat? Did it make you fall?"

“Geho!

"That's you! Anyway, I'll catch that little guy!"

　Humans and mysterious beasts that suddenly appeared, opponents that elves had to watch out for. The elf who was not hit by the fighter jumped back and took a distance, then prepared his bow.

　The target is Selene. Apparently, they thought it was the main body manipulating the powerful rat. Selene, who was born in Japan and is a peaceful idiot, cannot forget the current situation that was suddenly designated with a weapon, and is just confused. That figure full of gaps was a good target for the elves.

　Tightening the rope like that, the elves fired arrows. Shoot Selene. If you kill him all of a sudden, you won't know who this guy really is. In order to gather information, the elves first tried to block Selene from her mobility.

　The Elf bow arm is very good. The arrow that was released pierced through Selene's leg without a single mistake it didn't happen. As if by magic, the arrow broke before trying to pierce Selene's soft leg.

"What!?"

　The elf was surprised. Not surprisingly, the little mouse jumped out and chewed on the arrow in the air. The elves used wooden arrows bundled with vines, but it was a material that had been strengthened with magic. Before that, he caught an arrow flying in the air and smashed it. It was already at a level that could be called a supernatural work.

"You guys are seriously targeting the princess now! Then let this butler be serious!"

　The butler immediately kicked the ground as he let out a threatening sound that was typical of small beasts. Its speed was terrifying, and even fairies with excellent kinetic vision could not easily catch it. Butler is a magical beast that has the power to conquer bears and wolves, the agility of rats, and the greater wisdom of humans.

　Butler ran like a black shadow through the falling leaves and hit the elf's ankle as he tried to shoot a second arrow.

"The cave!"

　The elf who received a powerful blow to the ankle fell to the ground unbearably. Soon Butler changed direction with sudden braking. A powerful tackle was given to the face of the fallen elf again. The elf suffered a severe concussion and fainted.

"I-It... Gyaa!"

　The elf who was hit in the stomach by Butler earlier took out a dagger stuck in his waist and thrust it into the mouse. However, there was no reason why Butler could not avoid the sword of the wounded man. Butler jumps. And when it landed on a nearby tree branch, it aimed at the back of the elf's head like a bird of prey attacking its prey. This was also about, and the second elf fell face down on the ground.

"Daughter! It's dangerous to live here! Escape!"

"Where are you running?!?"

“ Anyway, there is no choice but to run in the open with as few trees as possible! "I'll take care of you!"

"All right!"

　Selene ran through the shining white forest as if being driven by Butler's ominous voice. Although the place was open, to be honest everywhere was overgrown with trees, and Selene did not know where to go.

　As Butler instructed, I tried to run through the cracks in the trees that seemed relatively easy to run through, but there were only white trees around me, and I don't even know where I am.

　Selene is still running. I know that elves don't have good feelings for humans, and I don't know what they would do if they were caught. For the sake of my dear brother Arue, I cannot allow myself to die here.

“Hai, hi!”

“Daughter, it must be painful, but please do your best!"

　Contrary to her despair, Selene's legs were sluggish. Selene doesn't like sports, and she's also lazy, so she doesn't have the stamina to risk an ordinary 8-year-old. In addition, the ground was full of fallen white leaves and protruding tree roots here and there, making it very difficult to run.

"Are you okay?"

"Damn! What the fuck are those people!"

　Not long after Selene escaped, the young elves regained consciousness. And then, I saw the white girl and the mouse running away with their backs facing.

"That little boy is unusual...! Call for reinforcements!"

"But, right now, the person nearby is Zana-sama...it's not something we can call ourselves, right?"

"You know how else! I can't let her escape!"

　The elven youths clicked their tongues. She was a girl with an innocent appearance, so she was completely fooled. Although they had human bodies, they calmly entered the area where they lived, and moreover, they were creatures that could rule over such non-standard beasts. Catching can be difficult.

　After hesitating for a moment, the young elves took out a wooden flute from their chests and blew. A beep, high-pitched voice echoed around, and soon after, he readied his bow and turned to chase Selene and the others again.

“They might call their colleagues! If there's a place to hide somewhere...'

"Hi!"

　Selene was running around with her heart about to explode. Without knowing the direction, I was just running around in the white forest. There were many bushes around, but those elves had to break through the bushes first, and if they jumped unskillfully, they would bump into others.

　The elves were also desperate. Just closing the distance with Selene is like twisting a baby's hand. However, the mysterious rat that the girl used prevented her from doing so. Every time an elf shot an arrow, he would hit it to change the trajectory of the arrow, bend it, and bite it to pieces. If you are unskilled, it will throw back the arrow it held in its mouth.

　Then approaching with a dagger, it was impossible. Butler used the trees growing all over the place as a foothold, and flew in all directions like a triangular jump to intimidate. It was like a reflection that flew off of its own accord, a black barrier that protected the girl.

Selene was very slow, but the elves had just experienced the magic of Butler. Selene escaped from the front, the Elves chased after her, and the Warrior Battler stood in the middle. The distance between the three remained constant, and there was a dead end.

"You people! Quiet down!"

　It's time to break that antagonism. Suddenly, a dignified voice echoed in Shiramori. Judging from the quality of her voice, it seemed like it was the voice of a girl. The shadow that appeared far behind the pair of elves was so far away that it looked like a pea. A figure like a girl wearing a white robe was holding a bow from afar.

"Help! No matter how many times you do it, it is useless! can

　Butler did not run or hide, but by threatening to stomp the ground in front of the elves. The young elves gasped when they saw Butler. The girl at the back did not seem to care much, and shot an arrow in a relaxed motion.

"(Hmm, you're pretty confident, aren't you?)"

　I wonder if they don't know the situation because they just called with the whistle before. The arrows released from afar flew straight without stopping. The target seems to be Selene. But it's useless. As long as I am Butler Selene, I will break hundreds of arrows like this. As for the arrow that flew away, Butler caught the arrow in the same way as before and tried to bite it.

　As the girl muttered that for a while, the arrow suddenly loosened and became like a rope. Yeah, the goal was Butler from the start. If you're aiming for a girl, Butler will definitely interfere. I poke there.

"What!? ?"

　Butler's eye measurements were opposite to the arrow that suddenly bent, and sharp fangs split the sky.

"Catch him"

　Right after, as the girl made a clenching-like gesture of her hand, this time the loose arrow wrapped around Butler like a living snake and held him back. Butler's entire body was restrained and he fell to the ground.

"The sticky and thick zat! It's hilarious! Is this ivy? ?"

　Butler wriggled and tried to escape, but the stubborn vines, guarded firmly, did not tremble with his strength. It seemed that what was fired earlier was not an arrow, but an ivy plant that was fixed in the form of a stick in some way. And I immediately understood that it could be controlled by his hands, but it was too late.

"Head maid!?"

"Daughter! Don't mind me and run! I'll take over here!"

　Shouted Butler. No matter how powerful the magical beast Battler was, if his movements were blocked like this, he was nothing more than a rat. Even so, he was determined to fight to the end to protect his master. As long as he was here, there was a chance that he could distract Selene even for a moment.

"I refuse!"

　But Selene didn't back down. For Selene, Butler was an important friend in this world who could speak directly. Selene had no friends when she was alive, so she was the type of person who muttered to herself in animals and plants. So I was very happy when I could talk to the animals, which is a one-way street.

　There is no doubt that Selene is a hot-tempered pervert, but she is one who generously pours out her love for the creature she likes. The same goes for Butler, a rat. And he loves Arue more than Butler, and doesn't care about humans.

"Lick it!"

　Selene took out two pieces of sticks lying around, and took each and became the user of two swords. Selene is not just a vulnerable eight-year-old girl. Her beautiful and charming body hid the soul of a rough middle-aged man. To be honest, it was subtle, but for now, I had more fighting spirit than an eight-year-old little girl.

"Luck!"

　Selene swung the staff with both hands and attacked the young elves. The elves were shocked by the fact that the girl who had been running around with her back until now suddenly attacked him.

"princess! Please stop! take care of me!"

"Luck!"

　But Selene didn't stop. Selene is the type of person who acts without thinking about the consequences when blood rises in her head and regrets it after the event is over. The elves immediately came back to me and prepared their bows. And again, the arrow was ruthlessly released. No waitresses this time. There was only Selene rushing in without any action.

"Gyaa!?"

　Selene's scream echoed. Selene held the cane in both of her hands and ran just looking ahead of her, so her leg got stuck in the root growing on the ground and she fell down. Thanks to that, the elf arrow pierced through the air and pierced through the trees behind.

“Avoid!?”

　The elves were dumbfounded. I should have caught him at that time. The girl immediately avoided him by lying down. After all, not just a rat, the girl had to be on her guard. The vigilance of the elves surged again.

　However, Selene remained prostrate and did not move. Since I was holding a stick in both hands, I could not rest, and I hit my face with all my strength and fainted. The young elves froze, not knowing what to do with Selene's oddity.

"Hey, hey .. isn't he unconscious?"

"No, careful. This might be a trap that lets us off guard."

　The young elves did not let their guard down and gradually closed the distance. Butler was completely paralyzed just rolling around on the ground, so he only paid attention to Selene for now.

"Daughter! Are you okay! Princesses!"

　Butler desperately calls Selene, but Selene is unconscious again.

　The young elves stabbed Selene with the tip of their bow to see what was going on, but they concluded that it seemed like she had completely fainted.

"What are you gonna do? Can I catch him?"

"No, it's the first time I've seen a Bokkensher like this. Let's get rid of it here."

"Wait on! Don't wait! ! ask! Wait!"

　No matter how loud Butler shouted, it sounded like a mouse screeching. The young elves mercilessly whipped out their daggers. Selene, who closed her eyes, was a young girl even though she was human, and the elves were driven by guilt, but the danger had to be eliminated.

"Wait a minute!"

　As the young elf pointed his sword at Selene's neck, a voice echoed from behind. When the young men turned around, there stood the elven girl who shot the bow earlier.

　He still had silver hair tied back, red eyes, and long ears, but he had a head taller than young people, he said, and she was a young girl who somehow remained young.

"Zana-sama, but Bokkensher must be dealt with."

"That kid's not a bokkensier."

"e?"

　When the young elf replied with a dumbfounded look. The girl named Zana shrugged her shoulders.

“Because the child has no luggage.

"If you say so ..."

　The elven youths saw Selene again. She was wearing a white dress and had nothing left. The elves did not know much about how humans dressed, but they knew that they were dressed to go to the forest.

"But it's true that this girl is here. If he's not a Bokkensher, why is he here? And with the weird rat."

"Oh, that rat. I was really surprised. When I heard the whistle, it was so small that at first I thought you guys were fighting in the air."

"i'm not a rat! Servant Princess Selene, Waiter! can

"Ah, are you angry? Sorry."

　The girl named Zana smiled regretfully at Butler. He had a carefree smile, but to Butler, he was the enemy that held Selene's life in his hands, so he bared his fangs menacingly while still tied.

"Of course, this mouse-kun and human child are not normal."

"What are you gonna do? Do you want to throw it away?"

"Hmmm……"

　Zana crossed her arms and looked at Selene's face as if she was thinking. If she just sleeps in silence, Selene is the beautiful princess of a declining country. Even Zana was surprised by Selene's young yet perfect beauty.

"okay! Well then, let's take him to the patriarch and ask for his judgment."

"Head ..... is that Guy-sama's place?"

"Well, I'm gonna hold this kid. You guys, that rat, please."

"But isn't that dangerous? We have to carry the boy..."

　The elves proposed to Zana. From the elf's point of view, Selene, who freely manipulated Butler, was a person with supernatural powers, and they thought that they should be careful. In addition, Butler was restrained by Zana's power, so it was safer to take him there.

"Hey hey hey! After all, he's not a bad boy."

"How can you say that?"

"Because..."

　Saying that, Zana did not listen to the people around her and hugged Selene's small body. Zana was also soft, but to the elves who were constantly moving their bodies, Selene's body was as light as a feather.

"This kid smells like flowers."

　Zana buried her face in Selene's fine white hair and smiled. For the elves who were close to nature, the scent of flowers coming from Selene played a role in breaking them down.

　Both the elves and Selene were unaware that the fragrance of the flower was caught in Selene's rage.
