My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

Elven Kingdom (2)

“We have finished spreading the situation to each race on the Enamel Continent, including the Dwarves of Titania.”

“It’s a bit lukewarm because we haven’t had a direct relationship in the past, but this time it’s really unusual, so we need to be more alert.”

“When you say that you can cross the space at will, you don’t know when the Immortal King will appear on the Enamel Continent, so you have to be prepared.”

This was the only building in direct contact with the World Tree, the royal conference room of the Elven Kingdom.

Of course, the faces of those who participated in this meeting, which no one could enter, were equally splendid.

The Queen and the High Elves, as well as the backbones who oversee each field and lead the country, were gathered together.

“For now, we have requested the relevant information from the denomination. We don’t know anything about the immortal king of this generation other than the information Lapori-sama has known.”

They were preparing countermeasures for this situation.

All of the Immortal Kings of the previous generation were all miraculous in the Aeon Continent, so there was no special damage other than the loss of the reinforcements sent by the different races, including the elves.

In both cases, they collapsed before they even crossed the sea, so it had no effect on the mainland of the Enamel Continent.

However, this time the immortal king showed an extraordinary appearance from the beginning, making them nervous.

Being able to break into the Great Hall of the Holy Land ignoring space constraints meant that he could jump over the seas between continents at any time.

Before moving to the Enamel Continent, Lafori had transmitted information about it to the Elven Kingdom in advance, so they could quickly start preparing.

A warning was sent to neighboring countries, the level of alertness was raised a few steps, and regular patrols were dispatched to detect black magic in each area.

“Whoa… I don’t know what’s going on with the situation where we have to celebrate the birth of a new high elf.”

After the important discussions were over and there was time to take a breather, the people who attended the meeting began to complain one by one.

Of course, a few days’ festival was planned in the capital after Cecili’s awakening, but the duration and scale of the festival had to be reduced considerably due to preparations for the Immortal King.

Originally, it was supposed to be held as a grand event on a national scale, so it can be said that the gap is quite large.

“Still, I am very fortunate that Cecily-sama appeared at this time. Isn’t it time for me and the Queen to slowly retire?”

“It was. I still had a lot of worries, but it eased my worries by an hour.”

The elf queen, who was sitting at the top, nodded at Lapori’s soft words.

Among the high elves, the term of the throne, chosen through mutual agreement, was until retirement, so she stayed there for quite a long time.

“By the way, Lapori-sama, didn’t you bring another qualified person from the Aeon Continent? Rumors are already spreading that he was given eggplant by the World Tree during the opening ceremony.”

“hahaha, from the first meeting, I felt that the world tree was interested in something unusual. It seems that my eyes were not wrong.”

When the Queen brought up the story of Harris, Lapori smiled with a sly smile.

“His talent is outstanding, and he is growing so fast that I can’t even put it into words. I think he has a pretty good chance of qualifying.”

Another prospect, Harris, came to his feet shortly after saving Cecily.

Lapori brought him to the Elven Kingdom and enrolled him in the Kingdom’s best educational facility, ‘Drasha Academy’.

Hoping he could get the best education and qualify as a high elf.

‘It sounds like you’ll have a good relationship with Shapiron. The situation is similar to each other.’

Originally high elves were not inherited, but she was born with aptitudes like herself.

It was truly a blessed birth.

‘If the two of us get to know each other, we can help each other.’

That’s why he deliberately arranged for Harris to get an education with her.

He had no doubts that the good boy would take good care of Harris.

Lapori drew a soft smile on her face as she recalled her lovely only daughter, whom she obtained at a late age.

***

Lunch break at Drasha Academy.

I hope the wind is cool too, when I was sitting under a big tree, chewing a sandwich and watching the street performances of the elves.

“Hey, how about getting some culture? How long are you going to act like a mercenary?”

Shapiron, who suddenly approached me, quarreled, and without hearing his answer, I turned around and walked away proudly.

‘…Did you come all the way here to say that?’

Harris leisurely leaned against the tree, staring at her back and munching on the sandwich.

‘By the way, that woman is that man’s daughter…’

Lapori had light blue hair and deep blue iris, so there was definitely a resemblance to her.

‘You said that if you become a high elf, you will use the surname ‘Grandwood’. I also said that elves are matrilineal, so ‘Sylvesti’ is probably the mother’s surname.’

Suddenly, the last time I saw him, I remembered the gentle expression on his face, thinking of his family and smiling happily.

And the image of a picky lady who looked at him with a slightly frown on the image was gradually overlaid.

‘Um… I don’t think I can relate well to that good-natured man.’

It hasn’t been long since I’ve been here, but I could tell that everyone was having a hard time with her because of her arrogant, ignorant and aristocratic side with a sense of choice.

Of course, there were those who followed her, but no matter how you look at it, it didn’t seem like an equal friendship.

‘Every town where people live is like that. It’s no different than being an elf. But the army is particularly sensitive to me.’

From what I’ve been looking at for the past few days, she just hit the wall around her and looks down dignifiedly, but she doesn’t seem to be arguing with anyone in the first place.

Except for Harris himself.

‘Even if it’s true, it’s like a child’s tick-tick. If you get tangled up, you’ll get annoyed, so ignore it. Now he’s my supporter too.’

In addition, I had asked Lapori to process the branches of the world tree that I received as a gift, so it was not good to have a conflict with that girl for nothing.

“Ah… the weather is nice…”

Sunny weather, cool shade of trees, and a cool breeze.

Harris was drowsy, closed his eyes and listened to the elves singing from afar.

In fact, the biggest reason is that things have been bothering me lately.

After falling into the sphere of influence of the World Tree and gaining “natural affinity”, and as he continued to practice it, Harris’ body gradually became more and more comfortable.

‘You can force your body to move at any time, but I think it’s more advantageous to just leave it like this to increase affinity. Something seems to help with mental and physical stability.’

Is this the feeling of becoming one with nature?

Harris expressed his oneness with his whole body and did not move from the spot until lunchtime was over.

“I feel like I am being healed.”

The thought of Shapiron Silvesti had long since disappeared.

There’s no way we’re going to get involved anyway, and as long as we keep our distance as we are now, nothing will be a problem.

***

‘I thought so.’

Harris stared blankly at Shapiron, who was standing in front of him.

She was also staring at him with a slight frown.

The reason they came to face this was because of the spirit art education of the Drasha Academy.

The moment they said ‘Uh-uh’, as if the professor had decided, they were tied into the same group.

“Okay, everyone is set up. Then, there are transfer students, so let’s review it and look back, shall we? As everyone already knows, communion with spirits is very important. And if you go into the deep process…”

The communion with the spirits, the beings of nature, was an essential element for the spirits.

And since the elves had a very effective recipe for it…

It was dancing and singing.

‘Somehow, after coming to Elven Kingdom, I saw a lot of people performing on the streets.’

The elves, who are loved by nature for their very existence, were able to harmonize with the spirits just by their gestures and the sound of their voices.

The same goes for the instruments they play.

Indeed, it was a privilege and secret that only elves could dream of, the spirits of other races could not even dream of.

“This method also has the effect of preventing excessive immersion in nature and indolence. Well, normally, even if you immerse yourself in it, you’ll be a little lazy, but wouldn’t it be better to be sincere?”

As the professor continued his lecture, Harris knew immediately that it was none of his business.

Without thinking deeply, isn’t it just his story itself?

‘But I don’t think I’m a little lazy.’

Even now, he was just moving his body forcibly with all his mind, but if he turned off his mind for a moment, he would immediately droop on the spot.

That puts me in a state of extreme tranquility, which brings me peace of mind, which has been quite helpful in relieving stress…

‘It was definitely a bit annoying. That was a side effect of excessive immersion.’

Besides being next to the World Tree, which can be said to be the source of natural power, Harris’s “Child of the World Tree”, “Elemental Spirits”, and “Natural Affinity” were all skills involved in affinity.

There was also a high elf bracelet from Lapori.

Thanks to this, the lightning spirit ‘Wat’ has recently been lowered, and the fire spirit ‘Kali’ and the wind spirit ‘Pascal’, which were contracted a few days ago, were also on the verge of evolution.

Considering the period of time he learned the spirits, the growth rate was unbelievable.

“After some time, there will be a festival for the new high elf Cecily, right? On that day, there will be stages all over the capital…”

The professor mumbled, looked around the students who were listening to him, and smiled mischievously.

“We have prepared a stage unique to Drasha Academy for all of you. It’s quite central, so maybe Cecily-sama can see it for yourself.”

Suddenly, the surroundings became noisy with the murmur of students.

“Now, let the groups work together to decorate their own stage. We will see the stage on the day and evaluate how much sympathy we can bring out with the spirits.”

After the lecture was over, a place was set up for the members of the same team to share their opinions.

Harris’ group had two more elves besides Shapiron.

“Wow! Miss Shapiron and Jorani with Harris! Lucky to be with celebrities. I’m Timer Coffin. Good luck!”

“·················ogue.”

They were a lively man who looked unnoticed, and a timid woman who carefully bowed her head while only paying attention.

“Take good care of me. I am very embarrassed that I have a group activity all of a sudden. We will do our best not to become a waste.”

Harris greeted them as gently as possible.

I had heard of the notoriety of the group assignment, but I was the one who was going to be the hole…

There was less than a week left until the actual stage, so it was a very difficult situation for him as he was a transfer student and was not prepared for anything.

However, what was disturbing was that Shapiron, who was in the same group as him, seemed to be in trouble.

“Why… why am I with a mercenary who has no such foundation… why? why?”

She frowned and muttered, then slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“Whoa… I can’t help it that this has happened. So, are there any dances or songs you can do? Anything is fine.”

Of course there won’t be, so I’m asking politely.

There was no expectation in those eyes that looked down at him arrogantly.

He said that he had only recently learned the spirit art itself, and that he had been working as a mercenary, so it was a natural reaction.

At her words, the eyes of the other members also turned to this direction.

They don’t say it openly, but they must have been worried inside too.

“Is there nothing? We can fix the rest.”

‘···If you say it out loud like this, it actually makes you nauseous.’

Of course, they didn’t learn how to dance and sing, so it was unreasonable to do it right away.

I saw them on the street a few times, but not all of them were the same.

‘But does it really need to be the traditional songs and dances of the elves?’

In the first place, this was not a fixed ritual, but a reaction using a racial characteristic.

Then, as long as you can harmonize with the spirits, the genre doesn’t really matter?

“Hmm… there is a song I liked to sing in my hometown, but…”

He cleared his throat and opened his mouth carefully.

Since then, there has been a record that I played the guitar a little while in school and heard that I was good at singing.

‘What if the elf’s voice is added to it?’

Best of all, he had never gotten a score below 80 on a karaoke machine.
