During this time, I will treat it as an opportunity to see the customs and cultures of other countries and regions.

Junice smiled, narrowed her eyes and said, "Thank you, Reiner!"

The five of them continued walking in the forest, chatting and laughing along the way, feeling very relaxed.

It was noon and Reiner wanted to have a good rest, but Nora, who was walking in front of the team, suddenly pricked up her ears and stopped in the middle of the team.

"Man, there's something ahead."

Reiner put the mask back on and said, "What is that? A monster?"

Nora narrowed her eyes and shook her head slightly after a few seconds: "No, it seems to be an elf?"

Reiner recalled everything he had done today, but he didn't know what he had done wrong, which attracted the elves to come and find trouble.

Just as he was thinking hard, the elf appeared.

In an instant, an elf with blue hair and a petite figure stopped the team of five.

In her arms she held a staff made of sturdy branches wrapped around its base, with a blue gemstone on top.

This elf was different from the two lifeless guys she met yesterday. Her eyes were slightly raised and there was a hint of pride on her face.

She is a lively little girl.

I don’t know whose child was not watched carefully, but he ran out by himself.

Without waiting for Reiner to ask, she spoke first: "Reiner! Take me with you on the adventure!"

???

Reiner glanced at the people around him and shrugged innocently.

Junice looked her over carefully, then asked, "Do you know this elf?"

"I don't know him." Reiner shook his head and then asked the elf in front of him, "Who are you?"

The blue-haired elf put her hands on her hips and began to introduce herself: "My name is Aliana, and I'm a stargazer! Take me with you on your adventure, I can definitely help you!"

Reiner didn't want to cause trouble.

If two elves come out and accuse him of kidnapping children, then everything will be over.

Reiner shook his head. "Sorry, I don't have time to take care of children."

Aliana's eyes widened and she stamped her feet vigorously: "I'm not a child. I don't need your care!"

Reiner dismounted and walked in front of her, gesturing slightly with his hand.

Aliana was not even as tall as his neck.

Probably about... 1.4 or 1.5 meters tall.

It was wrapped tightly, like a potato.

Reiner looked up at the surrounding pine trees and shouted in Elvish, "Whose child is missing?"

Just as he finished speaking, Reiner's knee was hit by Aliana's staff. She said angrily: "I told you I'm not a child anymore. I'm eighteen years old and an adult."

When no one responded, Reiner looked her up and down again.

Can this be eighteen? Legal loli, right?

But considering that the lifespan of elves is different from that of humans, often reaching several thousand years, her words may be true.

Reiner looked her up and down, and their eyes met.

"Can't you find another adventurer?"

Aliana shook her head: "The other adventurers don't speak Elvish, so they can't understand me, which is inconvenient.

Take me with you on your adventure. I can be of great help and you won't regret it!"
