Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Side Story – The World Beyond (3)

“It seems like you’ve had a happy time since the war ended.”

“That’s right. “I had the happiest time of my life.”

She revealed her name as Karen and immediately asked that question. I smiled and nodded. When you literally put down all your burdens by completing all your tasks, both in the flower pot world and in real life.

The feeling I felt back then is still vivid even now, ten years later.

“Now let go. “Because you are the head of the family.”

“Did the elves have such a custom?”

“We don’t really care about age. “Recognize and respect the other person’s status.”

It was at that point that I developed a deeper relationship with Serenian. This is something she couldn’t have even imagined when she first appeared in my flower pot.

After that, I continued to interact with her and our relationship became closer, but there was still a strange wall between us.

It wasn’t simply because she knew my identity. Serenian read my mind and completely separated public and private life.

Externally, she acted as a representative of Eden, which serves the sky god, but when I met her, she treated me like an ordinary person.

It was right after everything ended that that relationship broke down the wall and moved on. After she finally abdicated as queen as she had wanted, we spent almost a year alone in a small flower pot that we had exclusive access to.

I was active outside and taking care of the flower pots, but when the time came, I ‘got off work’ and went into the flower pots. Meanwhile, she did things herself, such as growing food in flower pots, making clothes, and managing the forest.

They were small actions, but she seemed happy to do them.

She was a hero who accomplished great feats that no one on the continent now knows about, but I know. Serenian realizes that she is not someone who became a hero because she wanted to be, like Ercilla or Orca.

That her life wasn’t actually that grand as she wanted. If it hadn’t been for the harsh and cold winds of the world, she would have lived like this for the rest of her life.

“…They said the weather was clear today, but it rained without warning. “Thanks to you, my laundry and clothes all got wet.”

“It looks like it splattered while watering somewhere else.”

She was drenched and glared at me while drying her hair.

Actually, it was intentional, but I played it off. I watched her flail in confusion as I sprayed her with water from my watering can.

When she got into a prank like this that only I could pull off, her reaction was so good that I couldn’t stop it.

“Even though the sun has set, your hair hasn’t dried.”

Serenian immediately laughed and stood up. Even though she could have dried herself quickly by using her spirit power, there was a reason why she waited for me while still getting wet.

The world inside the flower pot is a world without internet or TV. Even we are the only ones living in the forest created in this large flower pot.

There are lights here and there, such as lanterns and glow stones, but there is nothing to do once the sun goes down. Except for the two of them being stuck together like this.

Soft blonde hair that extends down to the waist and flawless skin. Big green eyes looking only at me. If an elf, who can be called the essence of beauty that combines all of them, is held in your arms first like this, you can’t help but embrace her.

“You’re trying to touch my ear again.”

“I don’t know about you, but it feels so good.”

And in the process, Eden was eventually born.

“Did you manage to only be born one?”

“It turns out that becoming a half-elf is not easy. Honestly, what happened back then was amazing. Since then, we have been making efforts, but there is no news about the second child.”

“I really appreciate that. “It gave birth to mixed race people.”

Karen, who was listening to my story with interest, chuckled. I didn’t know what I was thankful for in the story just now, so my eyes twitched.

“The fact that the son of the great elf hero who saved the continent from crisis and united forces is of mixed race is a great help.”

“I see what you mean.”

Eden had no discrimination against her mixed race people from the beginning.

However, the negative perception of mixed race people that remained deep throughout the continent became a deep evil that could not be tolerated more than anything else for Serenian, who became her mother.

“They were the ones who fought valiantly in the last war. “It has been sufficiently proven that the prejudice against them is wrong and that their talents are no different from those of purebloods. Do you think the claim I am making now is simply due to the fact that the child in my belly is a mixed race?”

She broke her secluded life and went directly to her league meeting to speak out. Even though she wasn’t a queen anymore, she couldn’t ignore her claims, no matter how reasonable they were, and who knows who was behind them. This is because, arbitrarily or otherwise, they have become directly or indirectly entangled with the numerous resources coming from Eden. This was also the biggest reason why, unlike last time, there was no chaos after the war.

This is because everyone has become so complexly intertwined around Eden that it has become impossible to arbitrarily snipe and conquer the opponent.

“We were able to put all the useless words that were talked about even within the denomination in one place. It’s ridiculous when you look at it sometimes. I see them biting and fighting among themselves over things they didn’t even say. “It’s fun, but more often than not, it’s annoying.”

“It’s a good thing. “Because that only hinders the progress of this world.”

“But I came to you like this because I knew that it couldn’t last forever, junior.”

Karen smiled faintly and got to the point. I, who had been talking only about myself for a while, closed my mouth slightly.

“Okay, what choice do you want to make now?”

“I’m looking at you now to decide that.”

The end…Comes. Not only for me, but also for the Serenians who will live for over 200 years and become high elves and live longer.

The problem is that my end as a human comes less than half as quickly as hers. Aging can be suppressed with the power of the World Tree, but it is not infinite. Like elves, they age rapidly when they reach the end of their lifespan.

But now there was one way for me. It’s about using the winner’s privilege. Just like the Karen right in front of me.

“I don’t know about you, but after we integrated flower pots into the world, we had to choose between two things. “Either you can cut ties with the flower pot and make your wish come true, or you can live as an eternal part of the world inside the flower pot.”

“How is your life?”

“That’s straight forward. I’m okay with adapting, but the process has never been smooth. “Outside the flower pot, I was an absolute god, but inside, I was just… a part.”

A life of endless wandering. A life that melts but cannot mix. Karen grinned, saying she would choose if she could find happiness in it.

“Then you won’t disappear before your elf family. But I don’t recommend it.”

“If I die first anyway, Serenian will think the same thing.”

Actually, my mind was already inclined. This is because I was afraid of the future and did not want to give up the present. On the contrary, seeing Karen made me even more confident in that feeling.

As expected of Karen, didn’t she remain in this world to see the ‘humans’ of this land whom she cared for all those years ago?

“Anyway, thanks to you, the world that was flowing smoothly has become as turbulent as it was back then, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens. “To be honest, there are some things I don’t like, but that’s not something someone like me should get involved with.”

Karen included that she did not like the series of events starting with the Great War and the various snowballs that resulted from it.

It was worth acknowledging. Considering her age, it is highly likely that she was a person who lived during a very turbulent time on Earth.

She came here after seeing the World War, and she couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded that something similar to the World War was happening again.

Also, after seeing the railroad and magic train created through my intervention, I said that it is not good to try to repair this world in an Earth-style way.

“Of course, even if that were the case, this world would develop in a different direction than the Earth. “But you still want to reduce the impact, right?”

“That’s right. “I don’t want this place to be ruined.”

The time I can intervene will not be very long. Having already made a plan, I nodded to Karen’s question.

As Karen said, this world will develop in a completely different direction under the leadership of its residents.

“I can see you again in a few hundred years. “By then, you will have ripened well, so I will introduce you to others.”

Karen just grinned and didn’t argue with my choice.

Thanks to this, the meeting I was curious about ended without incident.

“Is it over already? “Why on earth did you come here?”

“It was important to me. “Let’s go back now.”

After spending only one night, I and Ren took the road back to Eden.

We just talked and checked, but my heart felt lighter.
