After a moment of silence in the store,

Hulim slowly raised her head. "...Um, is the 'World Tree' some new species of plant?"

"Oh my, I can't play dumb! There's only one thing in the world that can be called the World Tree, right?"

...No, no, no, no! That's not right! It's because you know about that World Tree that you feel strange!? Why would it exist? Can something like this be used to make tea casually? How did you get it? Ah, come to think of it, you took out the Hadera Hades Fish and the Dragon Fruit easily before -

Could it be that you are the legendary mysterious businessman?

"Haha~, sorry, sorry~! You're thinking too much right now. I can't read it just by looking at your eyes. Can you just say it directly~?"

The elf shop owner said this quite happily.

“… …”

Hulim silently picked up the teacup, took another sip, then put it down and said very seriously:

"That's enough. I'm here to pay you back—!"

... ...

After a while, it seemed that Hulim was really angry.

The elf shop owner changed his attitude again and apologized to her.

For the sake of the good tea, Hulim forgave the other party for making fun of her.

"Well, speaking of which, although I've communicated with you quite a bit, it seems we haven't introduced ourselves to each other yet, right?"

The elf shop owner said this, and then introduced himself in a very serious manner.

"Let me go first. My name is Irus Emerald Star Phil, from the Elven Kingdom of Raven Rhym—"

What a strange name, just like Semiris's full name, it's meaningless. But this middle name sounds pretty cool. Emerald Star? Is there a star with that name...

Hulim thought so in his heart.

In addition, the elven kingdom of Ravenrheim mentioned by the other party is one of the most powerful countries in the world, especially the capital of this country. It is said that it is built directly under the world tree and is known as the holy city.

"Although I run a potion shop here now, I used to love traveling. I've been to many places in Himlir and seen many interesting things. If you tell me honestly what you did at the dock, I can tell you these stories~!"

Irus said as if to seduce Hulim.

If you are not interested, you will not be fooled.

After complaining inwardly, Hulim also introduced himself.

"My background is not as good as yours. It's very ordinary. I'm just the youngest daughter of an ordinary country noble in the empire."

"Alas, what about ordinary country nobles—"

Irus read it with a stick, and it seemed that she had objections to the country nobles' statement.

"What? That tone, don't you believe me?"

"No, no, no! Um... well, can you continue?"

Hulim glanced at Irus with dissatisfaction and continued, "My name is Hulim Haieral, and I have just entered Manax—"

“Wait a minute—!”

Irus suddenly stopped Hulim.

"What's wrong?"

Hulim looked at her in confusion.

"You..." Irus looked at Hulim seriously, "--what's your name?"

"?"

"Hulim Hyeral? Is there something wrong with my name?"

Elus did not answer immediately, but looked Hulim up and down, then asked:

"——Who is Olubet Hyeral to you?"

“… …”

...an unexpected name, spoken in a completely unexpected place, by the most unexpected person.

"... is my ancestor."

"Sure enough! Sure enough..."

Irus seemed to understand something and nodded to herself.

"?"

What are you talking about? What exactly is going on?

"——As expected, you were talking nonsense just now!"

Hulim: “???”

"How could I—"

"You don't have any? You're clearly a descendant of a family of knights protecting the nation, yet you're calling me a country noble? I almost believed you just now. What a fool I am~!"

Huh? No, what on earth is this elf talking about? We are truly a poor noble family with only a few villages and fiefdoms!

"Oh my, he looks like, 'What is this person talking about?'"

Irus suddenly stood up, put her face close to Hulim, and looked at her with a smile.

"Little sister Hulim, do you really know what your last name means in the Empire~?"

"...what does it mean?"

Facing Irus's gaze, Hulim became a little unconfident, and her tone unconsciously weakened.

“Hehe~!”

Irus sat back.

"Although I don't know what your family is going through right now, you can go out and ask any resident of the capital to see if they know the name Haieral."

"The so-called Haieral, for the Pasarra Empire, are those who stand in the top row of the Imperial Hall of Heroes~! Do you know how many people there are at the top and what kind of people they are?"

“… …”

Hulim shook her head.

"There are only six of them~! And except for the Haieral family, all the others are founding fathers!"

“!”
