Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess no Matter What!

"As expected of Allen, I was saved."

Sheryl Laura said that while sticking to my back. But for some reason, Anna is looking at me with cold eyes.

"Hey, Allen. What's with that girl?"

"Eh?"

"Hey, Allen. Who's this little girl?"

"Me a little girl? A girl smaller than me, calling me a little girl? This rude person! Identify yourself!"

"Oh, what's wrong with calling a girl younger than me a little girl?"

When I was confused by the atmosphere that seemed to be about to erupt, the brunt of it turned on me.

"Hey! Allen! Do something about this rude little girl!"

"Oh, Allen. You're on my side, aren't you?"

No, wait a minute. What do you want me to do?

Then Anna, numbly, reached out to pull off Sheryl Laura's hood.

"Oh, Anna-sama. You can't do that. You'll cause a big scene if you do that!"

I stopped her from almost pulling off her hood. If the long ears of an elf get exposed in such a place, it will be a big fuss.

"Oh, Allen. I knew you'd help me, right?"

"Hey! Allen! Aren't you supposed to be on my side?"

Sheryl Laura says so in a bouncy voice, and Anna gets angry at me with a tearful expression.

"Oh, not again, please stop this. For the time being, let's go to a place where we can talk calmly!"

With that, I grabbed their hands and start walking.

People have gathered here because of the current argument. If Sheryl Laura's ears get exposed in a place like this, it would be a big problem.

So I took them to the Adventurer's Guild and asked master to rent a reception room for VIP. And after asking him to make sure no one came in, we finally had a calm environment to talk.

"Now, Introduced her to me, Allen."

"Yes, Anna-sama. This Lady is Sheryl Laura-sama. She is the daughter of the Queen of the Elven Village. Sheryl Laura, this is Anastasia Clynel von Ramslett, daughter of the Duke of Ramslett, and the one to whom I am indebted to."

"Huh?"

Anna froze beautifully. Then, after being frozen for a few seconds, she immediately changes to the expression of a noblewoman and performs the courtesy of a lady.

"I didn't know you were Her Royal Princess, and I apologize for my rudeness. My name is Anastasia, daughter of the Duke of Ramslett. Your Highness, Sheryl Laura, it is an honour to meet you."

"Hmph. Yeah. Now that you know it's okay. So, why are you in such a weird pose?"

"Eh?"

Anna froze again.

"Anna-sama, I apologize for the delay in explaining. They don't have such manners in the elven village, and status doesn't matter much."

"Wha?"

"So, Sheryl Laura-san, What on earth do you want?"

"Oh, that's right. I'm here to ask Allen for a nomination request? There's going to be a summer festival in the Elf Village which we celebrate once every 10 years. So I came to invite Allen. I don't know much about it, but when adventurer gets a nomination request they are supposed to do it, right? "

"Yes?"

"Because you haven't been coming around lately, Allen. Meryl, Rho-sama, and everyone in your village misses you, you know?"

No, I haven't been there lately you say, but didn't I went during winter vacation. And Why are you risking your life to come here just for a summer festival?

"Well, Sheryl Laura-san? You know that human towns are dangerous for elves, don't you? Also, you didn't say anything about it when I went there this winter, you know? Why didn't you tell me then?"

"Ah, no, um, you know. I was wondering if I could get a ride on that flying boat of Allen's."

"Don't take such a risk for something so simple as this!"

"Uuu, I'm sorry …"

I mean, what am I going to do now? Anna found out about Buitor, too.

"Hey, Allen, looks like you've got a lot of explaining to do."

"……Yes"

Anna's gaze is very cold.

"First of all, Why are you familiar with the elves?"

"Of course, it's because Allen is a benefactor of our village."

Sheryl Laura-san answers Anna's question.

"Uu … So why is Allen a benefactor?"

"That's because Allen is the treasured child of the Wind God who descended from the sky when the village was attacked by an evil spirit!"

"The god of the wind's … treasured child?"

"Oh? You don't know? Fufu, You guys look like you're getting along, but you're not. Oh, maybe he's just using his power to make you obey him, is it?"

"Hey! Sheryl Laura-san!"

Anna looked blatantly shocked.

"Please don't bully Anna-sama too much."

"Oh, no. You want a little girl like that, Allen?"

Sheryl Laura said with a colicky, happy laugh.

"Please don't make fun of me. There are things you can say and things you can't."

"Hmph? Well, okay. So, I'm going to ask Allen to come to the summer festival, okay?"

"Huh. Well, that's fine. So, when is it?"

"It starts tomorrow."

"Huh?"

"Oh, if it's Allen, shouldn't we there in no time?"

"Well, yes, but ……"

"W-Wait! If Allen's going, you've to take me with you too, okay?"

As we were exchanging these words, Anna interrupted us from the side.

"Yes?"

"No, you can't. I can't take any other human other than Allen into the village. If you're Allen's wife then it would've been possible, but you're not, right? You guys don't look very close, you know?"

When Anna heard that comment from Sheryl Laura, she fell silent and froze.

Oh, but what should I do? This seems difficult.
