The sli, placed on top of Nellin's hand, trembled with joy as it entered the elf village.
'Elf! Elf!'
Elves here, elves there.
The second type of living being it had ever seen was everywhere.
That alone was fascinating, but the elf village was overflowing with even more wonders.
First of all, there were many elves who looked different.
Elves with light green hair like its own, blue hair, blonde, and so on.
Elves with various hair colors.
Their outfits were similar yet different in their own ways.
Above all, their behaviors were all different too.
So elves were shopping, so were just strolling, and so bowed their heads upon seeing Nellin.
There were even elves who looked at the sli with curious eyes.
Whatever the case, all of it greatly excited the sli and sparked its curiosity.
anwhile, through the sli’s vision and the third-person broadcast screen, viewers could also see the elf village.
[Noblesse Fire]▶ Is this the Kanf village? Looks boring.
[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶ It’s my first ti seeing so many elves.
▶ It’s Kanf City, Kanf City,
▶That Kanf who just passed by looked delicious.
▶Hmm… Possible.
▶Dude?
There were so indifferent reactions, but most were fascinated by the elf village scenery.
From a monster’s perspective, the sli's live broadcast was like—
A so-called kingdom of elves!
Elves of the Derxia continent, rare in the Great Continent.
It was entertaining in its own way to observe a village where such elves lived.
[Squishy Queen]▶ If I were in the Derxia continent, I would have destroyed it myself!
▶Lmao, still holding a grudge, huh?
▶What can we do if the sli is la?
Though the Sli Queen showed anger toward how Nellin treated the sli—
▷Elves! So many! Amazing! Happy!
The sli itself was just thrilled, and so that anger beca a target of mockery.
▶The subject is enjoying itself, and you're the one angry—so what? Lololol
[Squishy Queen]▶Aaaah! My kin! What is there to be so happy about!
The chat window, where one could write thoughts directly, clearly revealed the Sli Queen's frustration.
“It keeps shaking? Must be really happy, huh?”
anwhile, as Nellin walked through the village, she felt the sli’s joyful trembling in her hand and was puzzled.
‘What’s so great about this?’
To her, it was just the usual village scenery.
Although she understood the sli's tremble as joy, Nellin couldn’t figure out what exactly it was happy about.
"Nellin!"
"I brought back a deer."
Nellin had arrived at the butcher shop where they processed hunted ga in the village.
"You even drained the blood in advance? You could’ve just brought it as is."
"But then it’d be heavy, right? And draining it early gets rid of the gay sll too."
“Thank you. Shall we prep the at and bring it over for dinner?”
"Yeah, please."
"Sure! By the way… what’s that sli in your hand?"
The butcher elf turned their gaze toward the sli.
Nellin briefly explained how she had brought the sli.
"Is it really okay to bring it here? What if the elder says sothing…"
The butcher elf voiced a concern similar to the village guards.
"Co on, don’t worry. You think Granny would get mad over sothing like this? It's just a sli. And I’m Nellin, you know, Nellin. Even if the great hero Granny gets mad, it’s no big deal."
Nellin was about to head ho with the sli when she suddenly noticed the jerky hanging in the butcher shop.
‘It’ll probably eat that too.’
Nellin bought so jerky to give to the sli and returned ho.
Perhaps because she was praised as a great hero, her house was bigger and nicer than the other elves’ hos.
However, as it was located in a forest village rather than a city, it didn’t feel too extravagant.
One wall was adorned with various types of bows and arrows, while the opposite wall had a large frad painting.
The painting featured five people, including Nellin herself.
As new sights unfolded one after another, the sli got even more excited than before.
It jumped off Nellin’s hand with a boing! and landed on the floor.
Then it bounced around Nellin in excitent.
'Amazing! Amazing! So much! So many things I don’t know!'
"You’re that happy to be in my house? What a strange sli."
Still unpredictable, but maybe because its every move conveyed emotion, it looked rather cute.
Nellin sat on the sofa and tapped the seat beside her.
"Sli, co here."
Seeing the sli understand and jump right up onto the sofa, Nellin was convinced.
"Thought so, you do understand what I’m saying."
Nellin placed the jerky she bought in front of the sli.
"Here, eat. I told you I’d give you sothing tasty, right? This is really good."
'Tasty!'
The sli imdiately bounced over the jerky.
The jerky on the sofa slowly entered the sli’s body.
It wasn’t sothing small like moss or grass, nor was it a liquid like deer blood—it was well-dried jerky.
Seasoned and adjusted for flavor, having gone through various cooking steps, the jerky was a food rich in nutrients.
In other words—
‘Delicious!’
Out of everything it had eaten so far, jerky gave the sli the strongest sense of "delicious."
Although unfamiliar with solid foods, which took more ti to absorb, the sli could slowly enjoy the nutrients it was taking in.
"You eat jerky well too, huh?"
After absorbing the jerky, the sli bounced joyfully on the sofa to express its happiness.
"You like it that much? Well, our village’s jerky is pretty good."
Nellin took out another piece of jerky from her pocket, bit into it, and handed another one to the sli.
"Here, have so more."
The sli climbed onto the jerky again and began absorbing it.
While the sli was completely focused on eating, the chatroom got more lively.
[Squishy Queen]▶ Why do you just eat whatever you’re given, my kin! It could be dangerous!
▶Lololol
▶She’s still getting roasted lolol
The Sli Queen, who didn’t like the fact that the sli had entered the elf village, and the viewers mocking her, were all chatting.
[Just Slam First]▶ Why eat at like that? Don’t even know the taste of fresh blood, lol.
Chats from those who couldn’t accept different taste preferences.
▶Hold up! The reason humans and elves eat like that is because, unlike us monsters with strong stomachs, they’re weak to dirty stuff. So they cook at to make it easier for them to digest!
▶Shut up, Mr. Explanation.
▶Who asked you anyway?
Despite so people getting backlash for explaining, the chatroom was much livelier than when the stream first started.
The reason?
Because the number of viewers watching the sli’s broadcast had suddenly surged.
The biggest reason for the sudden surge was the rumor that a monster had entered the elf village.
A weak sli not only broadcasting, but also entering the elf village?
Out of pure curiosity, more and more viewers started tuning in.
▷Delicious! Jerky! So delicious!
▶Squishy is so cute eating jerky so well~!
Unaware that their viewers were increasing in real ti, the sli simply expressed its pure emotions in the chat and refocused on the “taste” of the jerky.
‘Delicious!’
It was then.
—Knock knock knock
Soone knocked on Nellin's door.
“Nellin! Are you in?”
“Hm?”
Nellin got up from the sofa and headed toward the door.
“Who is it? Oh, it’s you…”
The one who had co to Nellin’s house was an elf who served as a direct escort under the elder.
Wearing an awkward smile, the elf spoke to Nellin.
“The elder is summoning you… She also asked that you bring the sli you brought along.”
“Sigh, that old lady… Alright, let’s go.”
Letting out a sigh, Nellin walked over to the sofa and reached her hand out toward the sli.
“Sli, hop on again. Let’s go together.”
Boing! With a nimble jump, the sli landed neatly on Nellin’s hand.
Since Nellin had given it not just deer blood but also the delicious jerky, the sli obediently followed her words.
As soon as it landed on her hand, the sli trembled.
The trembling was filled with anticipation, hoping to see sothing new again thanks to riding on Nellin’s hand.
***
Following the elder’s direct escort, Nellin arrived at the elder’s house.
“You’re here, Nellin.”
At the center of the elder’s house.
In a separate conference room built for etings, the elf elder sat cross-legged.
An elf with long golden-blond hair and green eyes.
Fitting the traits of long-lived elves, the elder, referred to with that title, had the appearance of a middle-aged woman.
“Nellin, I’ve just heard sothing unbelievable a mont ago. That the hero who fought off the calamity with the other heroes fifty years ago brought a monster into the village.”
“.....”
“And right now, I see the monster sitting on your hand.”
Zap!
The elf elder glared at the sli and shouted at Nellin.
“Are you in your right mind!?”
At the elder’s scolding, Nellin casually picked her ear with her left pinky and replied.
“You’re still so loud, granny. Why are you so angry? It’s just a sli.”
“Even a sli is a monster! How can the great hero, who should be a role model to all, be so careless!”
At the ntion of being a “role model,” Nellin frowned and shook her head as if fed up.
“Role model, my foot. I beca a great hero because I fought well. I’ve told you not to expect all this old-fashioned stuff from so many tis, granny.”
“Sigh… It’s truly lantable.”
“More importantly, granny, look at this. This thing understands speech.”
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
“I’m serious. That’s why I brought it—it was fascinating.”
Nellin lowered her hand slightly and spoke to the sli.
“Sli, hop off my hand.”
The sli responded imdiately and landed on the floor.
“Hm?”
She then took out another piece of jerky and waved it in front of the sli.
“Sli, do you want more jerky?”
‘Want it!’
The sli bounced in place as if to answer Nellin’s question.
“Alright, then bounce in place exactly three tis and stop. Then I’ll give it to you.”
‘Three tis.’
When it was implanted with broadcast knowledge, the sli had also learned the concept of numbers, so it bounced boing! exactly three tis and stopped.
“What in the world…”
Seeing how it perfectly seed to understand Nellin’s words, the elf elder widened her eyes in astonishnt.
“Good job, well done.”
Nellin placed the jerky on the floor.
“Now eat.”
The sli imdiately climbed onto the jerky and began absorbing it.
‘Delicious!’
Trembling with joy, the sli savored the flavor of the jerky.
[Thread-Lady]▶Kyaaaa! So cute~!!!
▶Looool it’s been tad lolol
▶If it gets food, of course it will obey lolol
[Squishy Queen]▶Aaaaah! My kin!! You don’t have to obey such orders!!!
▶If you disobey and they get annoyed, you might get shot with an arrow tho?
[Just Slam First]▶When! When will it use the Body Slam I taught it!?
▶Can’t even tell the ti and place?
▶Is this why your own kids avoid you?
[Just Slam First]▶Shut it!
▶Ah! That elf’s a freak!
“What do you think, granny? Smart, right? It understands speech.”
“…Nellin.”
The elf elder spoke coldly as she looked at the sli.
“Dispose of that sli imdiately!”
“What!?”
▶?
▶???
▶Did that crabby Kanf really say that?
“Do it now!”
“Why!?”
At the elder’s sudden, extre command, Nellin reflexively pulled the sli into a protective hug.
Even though it had just heard a threat to its life—
‘So soft!’
The sli simply reacted in real ti, surprised and delighted by the sensation it felt.
