Sierra couldn’t help but smile as she stood before her hometown. Apparently, she had more feelings about it than she’d expected.

However, as she was soaking up the nostalgia, a puzzled look suddenly came to her face.

Something...she couldn’t say what, but something seemed different.

It didn’t manifest as what she could call a sense of unease, however, because someone she hadn’t expected to see appeared first.

“Hmph... Just when I thought I sensed someone familiar. So it’s you, Sierra.”

“Huh...?”

He was a fellow elf, naturally, but he shouldn’t have been here, since...

“Why...?”

“Is it strange that I’d greet my little sister when she comes home? I don’t think so.”

“I thought you didn’t know it was me...”

“Hmph... Don’t sweat the details.”

“I have to... You’re the chieftain. And you came out here to see me.”

Yes, the person before her was her older brother as well as the leader of all the elves. It was unthinkable that someone like that would come out to see a visitor when he didn’t even know who they were.

“Did something happen?”

“No...but I guess you won’t take that for an answer.”

“Mm-mm.”

Of course she wouldn’t. And as this was happening, she began to wonder about the feeling of unease she’d experienced.

As she stared at him, wondering what was going on, her brother, Joseph Leonhardt, let out a sigh of resignation.

“Well, maybe it was the heavens that led you back here at this time. In that case... Let’s just say there’s something I need to do as chieftain.”

Sierra looked back at him with confusion.

“I’m asking you not as your brother, Sierra, but as chieftain—in fact, this is an order. You have to be the cornerstone of our kind.”

So Joseph said with a hard look in his eye.

“What was that you just said?” Soma asked in surprise, not having expected what Felicia had just told him at all.

Today was the day she got her rations...or maybe that was an odd way of putting it, but that was essentially what it was, no matter what words he used for it. It was the day she got more food from the elves—or in other words, added to her stockpile of fruit.

He was somehow managing to avoid malnutrition, but just when he’d been wishing he could have some meat already...

“I was telling you something important, and you weren’t listening? I suppose I’ll repeat myself...but listen carefully this time, all right? I won’t be receiving any more food from now on, starting today. In exchange, we can leave this place now.”

As he’d known was the case, he hadn’t misheard her. But that would mean...

“So my long wait is over? I don’t expect they will let me leave without a fight, but I suppose if I half destroy the forest—”

“Please don’t. And I said ‘we,’ didn’t I?”

“Oh, yes, so I didn’t mishear you. But that would mean I have permission to leave... And wait, did you tell them about me?”

“Yes... I’m sorry I did that without consulting you.”

“Hmm... I don’t particularly mind, but I’m surprised they agreed. It sounded to me like it wouldn’t be possible without a fight.
