Once we returned, we found that Shelly had already recovered and gone to do some investigating of her own.

“Are you all right already, Shelly?” I asked.

“Ha ha ha!” she laughed proudly. “Don’t you look down on us elves! All it took was sipping the tea that our predecessors made precisely for these occasions, and I recovered in a jiffy!”

Aren’t you the no-good elf who was down for the count just moments before?

“I wish you’d drank that before you forced us to do the mining then!” I complained. “Actually, why didn’t you use that back when you were rolling on the ground and suffering?”

“Ha ha ha! Don’t you look down on us elves! I’d just completely forgotten about it until now! When Tutte said that she wished she had some medicine for me, it jogged my memories!”

Now, hold on, that’s got nothing to do with elves! Don’t drag all the other elves down to your level!

“In any case, while I was searching for the ingredients for my drink, I was also looking into something that’d bothered me,” Shelly said.

“What’d bothered you?” I asked.

“It’s about the old man who was near the monster that’d tried to attack us...” she explained awkwardly.

“Wh-What about it?” I was getting nervous.

After Shelly had gone to check on the unconscious man lying on the floor yesterday, she hadn’t allowed us to go near him. She’d said we’d reached the scene too late to help him, but that he hadn’t had any external injuries on him. If Shelly had gone to check on him again, it was likely she’d discovered some sort of important information. I gulped nervously and waited for the news.

“Upon closer inspection, I realized he was an acquaintance of mine,” the elf finally said. “I’d never interacted with him much, and he’d always pissed me off, so I’d completely forgotten about him until now. Phew, I feel a lot better now that I figured that out!”

“Huh? Er, okay. And?” I asked.

“That’s it.”

I fell silent. I mean, I guess it’s shocking if you run across your acquaintance’s corpse, but that’s all you have to say about him after thinking about it all day? That’s pretty sad. That said, since it was Shelly we were talking about, I found it oddly less shocking.

“Ah, right, I think his name’s Gillan,” Shelly hastily added, seeming a bit frantic at my silent reaction. “He was a merchant in Kairomea.”

I stopped giving her an accusatory glare as she offered some useful information.

“Kairomea, huh...?” Safina said. “It’s an interesting coincidence he’s coming from the place we’re headed. Why do you think a Kairomean merchant was out here, and how did he end up getting involved with those black robes?”

“This might seem a bit cliché, but I’m guessing he saw something that he shouldn’t have and those guys silenced him,” I answered.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” the spirit clicked their theoretical tongue, then added confidently, “You guys are naive. Laughably so. I doubt it’s anything that tropey. No... That man, Gillan, must’ve carried a forbidden book out of Kairomea, failed to read it correctly, and lost his life as a result.
