Chapter 202: Apology
“I apologize for the trouble I caused you yesterday.”
As soon as she entered the room where breakfast was served, Sophie apologized to Emily, Tiya, and Judy, bowing deeply to them. The three of them looked like pigeons had been hit by a peashooter at the sight of her.
“Sophie is sorry for what she did, so please forgive her.”
I followed Sophie and bowed my head. With my head bowed, I could no longer see the faces of the three of them. As a result, I couldn’t find out what the three of them were thinking using the mind reading method. Even if I had used my bird’s eye view, I wouldn’t have been able to tell because I could only see them from directly above me, so I couldn’t see their expressions.
“Please look up.”
Emily’s words made us both look up.
“It’s true that you saved our village from a crisis, and since Zeros-sama also said so, we’ll forgive you.”
”…Thank you.”

She emphasized that it’s because I’m saying it. Sophie seemed very unhappy with that way of wording.
“However, even though no one was injured, there was a lot of damage, including the collapse of houses in the village. Even though she is Zeros-sama’s sister, it would be unbecoming to forgive her with a single apology.”
Well, if you ask me, that’s probably true. From the other elves’ point of view, they would think that the queen forgave us just for being apologetic, even though we had destroyed several houses. Besides, it would set a precedent that if something similar happened to them, they would be forgiven just for apologizing.
“Then what do you want us to do?”
“Just provide us with all the material from that cicada.”
“Is that all you want?”
‘Yes, that’s all we need.”
Leaving aside the difference in Emily’s language to me and Sophie, it seems that that cicada is actually a pretty good material for whatever it is used for. Originally, it is said that every part of the body of the Emperor Moth that sucked the sap of the spirit tree was excellent as a recovery medicine and its wings as armor to be worn as a cloak. And the cicada that ate the Emperor Moth is said to have stronger effects.
Moreover, it is said that when the dismembered feathers are attached to each other by fragments, they merge back together to form a single original piece as well. It seems that the feathers have the regenerative ability of the cicada as it is. Therefore, as a material, it is said to be superior to emperor moth.
“Can I give them the cicada?”
“No problem.”

After checking with Sophie, it seemed that it would be okay to give her the cicada, so we decided to give it all to her. We could probably only sell them if we kept them, and I don’t think we would be able to make good use of them.
After that, the five of us got ourselves together and had a normal breakfast.
“I think we should leave this village in a week or so and go back to the royal capital of Lingalia”
When he said that, the three of them froze. Emily had accidentally dropped the spoon she was eating her soup with, Tiya had accidentally stuffed her mouth full of bread, and Judy had accidentally clutched and crushed the bread she was holding.
I had a feeling that you would be leaving soon. Then we will escort you when you leave.”
“No, we will return to the capital by transfer, so you won’t have to worry.”
“That would make the elves look like the kind of people who would just send a foreign students home with magic. That would ruin the face of the elves. Therefore, we will send you back with sincerity.”
“I understand.”
And after that, in an indescribable atmosphere, the five of us continued to eat breakfast in silence.
“I apologize for the trouble I caused you yesterday.”

After breakfast, Sophie and I went to Elira’s place. Of course, Elira was not at the breakfast in the castle. When she saw Sophie coming, she looked at me for a moment and said, “Uwaa…” But Sophie ignored it and went up to her. She approached and apologized to her..
“I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused everyone.”
Then she apologized to the other elves around us and bowed her head.
“I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you too.”
Yesterday I was out of control with Sophie as well. I didn’t use that much magic and didn’t attack the buildings or anything at all. Emily and the other three and Eliela would know that I was fighting to stop Sophie from going out of control, but there is no way the other elves would know that. So in the eyes of those around me, I was just as guilty as she was for running amok. So I apologized, just like Sophie. Of course, I had apologized yesterday, too.
“Did you apologize to the queen?”
“Yes.”
“And did she forgive you?”
“She forgave us after we agreed to certain conditions.”
“If the queen forgave you, we have nothing to complain about. We forgive you as she has.”
He raised his head, which had been lowered since Elira spoke to him. And as Elira said her last words, she looked around at the elves around her. Then they all nodded their heads and agreed with Eliela’s decision.
I’m sure that if Elira had said she would forgive us in the normal way, she would not have been able to get the consensus of the people around her like this. The fact that Elira had elicited from us the words that the queen had forgiven us created a trend that since the queen had forgiven us, the elves around us would also forgive us.
“Thank you.”
In my heart I thanked Eliela and thanked everyone. After that, I went back to the royal castle. Even though I was allowed to stay, I felt awkward to be here. After that, I told Elira that I would be leaving in about a week I thought she might make a few remarks, but as soon as I said that, she went away.
The peaceful week passed in a blink of an eye, and it was already time to go home.
