As if her ears had caught my whisper, she glared at me from the top of the tree.

Of course, there was always the possibility that this was all a misunderstanding. Maybe it was just a tanned high school girl climbing a tree.

However, that soon proved to be false.

She reacted with a fierce tongue lashing as she bared her canine teeth.

“Ha? Tsk…. I didn’t notice his presence. Did another magical species find me out already?”

She jumped at me from the top of the tree. I reflexively tried to dodge to the side, but my vision started to flicker and darken. The headache was unbearable and the medication I took was starting to take effect. I couldn’t muster any strength in my body. My consciousness was slipping away.

The shadow falling over me, the realistic sensation of her touch on my skin, and the force of the girl slamming into me, causing my body to be flung in the opposite direction of the bench… These were the last things I remembered before my consciousness faded, along with the headache that had been gnawing at me and a sense of peace washing over me.

She raised her eyebrows in annoyance and looked down at the human face that had gone still.

No matter how many times she examined him. No matter how many times she checked.

“Eh, he’s just a human? Seriously?”

She didn’t expect that. She had been confident that he was an enemy, so she didn’t hold back at all with that attack, but it turned out she was wrong…

“What should I do? … It’s not like I did anything wrong. He’s really unlucky, huh? I mean…”

She looked again at the face of the human male laying on the ground and poked him on the cheek. Of course, he didn’t wake up.

The brown-skinned girl tilted her head. No matter how hard she thought about it, it just didn’t make sense.

“He’s just a human being. I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary… How did he know what I was?” She said as she looked at him curiously.

It was in her nature to be curious, so she couldn’t just leave it at that… Especially since it hasn’t been long since she arrived into this world.

“Well… it can’t be helped… It’ll all work out somehow, right?”

She casually made a choice, prioritizing her curiosity over her important mission.

Being optimistic is always better than being pessimistic.

Such are the ways of the Dark Elves.

When I opened my eyes again, what greeted me was a high school girl’s underwear.

She was wearing a very small pair of underwear with a mature color scheme that fit her gal-like appearance. There it was, right in front of me. The sharp form of the underwear was just right for her brown skin, and it cladded that area with a skin-tight snugness. She was in a straddling position right next to my head, with her elbows on her knees.

She was about to let out a sigh of boredom, but when she noticed that I’d opened my eyes, she stopped herself and said, “Oh, you’re awake!” However, she still did not cover up her panti*s. She wasn’t embarrassed or deliberately showing them off. It was more like she didn’t know that this was something she should be aware of.

What’s going on? How did I get into this situation? What happened to my body?

I decided to look away from her for the time being.

I was about to get up when she extended her index finger and pressed it against my chest, stopping me from getting up.

All of a sudden, I was unable to move any further. The pressure she exertedwas so strong. I couldn’t believe that it was coming from a single finger. I had no choice but to lie back down onto the ground again. Our eyes then met with each other.

“You know what? I’m going to ask you something first, so answer me.”

“…?”

“How did you know I was a dark elf?”

I blinked at her question. My thoughts were slowly returning to me.

A memory.

The memory of what occurred just before I lost consciousness.

“Speak honestly and clearly. Depending on your answer, things may or may not get messy. Anyways, right now, you have no choice but to answer truthfully.”

I had no idea what was going on here, but it seemed to me that unless I answered the question first, the situation was going to remain at an impasse. So I began to think seriously.

First of all, the basic premise was that she really and truly was a dark elf. I couldn’t start without acknowledging that part of the story, and it was evident enough from her physical appearance. Deep within me, I knew that this was real. She had firm, jewel-like eyes, and healthy, naturally brown skin. If you looked closely at her pointed ears, you could see them twitching lightly. Her ears were not as expressive as a cat’s ear, but they still gave you a sense of being interested or curious.

Her appearance didn’t look unnatural at all. If she were a human in disguise, then I can only applaud at her skills.

However, these were just my impressions and afterthoughts on this matter. It wasn’t the answer she was looking for.

What was it that made me say what I did when I saw her?

Perhaps it was her aura.

Maybe that’s what it was. However, the feeling was too vague. Even I myself wasn’t sure what had propelled me to say that. If it was just her brown skin, it’d be the same as any other tanned girl. So why did I say such a thing? Was there an answer that could express what I had felt? If there was one, what was it?

The headache was already gone by the time I woke up. I felt fine enough to answer her.

“Because I like you.”

She blinked her eyes in confusion. Her ears twitched as well.

“Eh… ? You sure? We’ve never met you before, have we?”

“Well, … no.I guess it’s because you’re a dark elf.”

There was a moment of silence.

Fuwa— she bursted out in laughter.

“That’s a good one… ! Hahaha! What’s up with that? I’m not sure what to make of that answer.”

My heart started to thump rapidly as if it had gone mad. Her canine teeth peeked out, giving her a completely different impression than before. There were tears in her eyes from laughing too hard.

She looked like a mischievous cat when she laughed.

“Hehe. I thought I’d made a terrible mistake. But, this is perfect! Oh, I know!”

She pulled my arm.

It seemed like I had been given permission, so I followed her lead and finally raised my upper body.

I was stunned when I saw her face unexpectedly close to mine.

Long eyelashes and almond eyes.

She had a sculpted nose and luscious lips.

After a while, she looked at me with an amused grin and said.

“Hey. Get me something to eat. This is your chance to feed your beloved dark elf.”
