A half-elf with pointed ears that chuckled like a harmless kitten emerged out of nowhere. They were looking in the direction she was standing just a moment before, but it was only now that they had noticed her.

“Hello there, dear guests.”

Dressed in worn leather armor the color of sunbaked earth, she put down a quiver full of arrows slung from her back. Her smile was as sharp as the arrows she carried, arrows with a metallic point unlike the wooden arrows they were using for the training.

Her hazel green eyes gleamed with a competitive glint. The way her eyes looked at the rest of them were different. Experience tales with empire

She found the expression of the young Misha amusing, she found the two creatures running around the hall adorable, and she found the white bird quite unique.

“Welcome to the humble hall of the archers.” Still though, what she found the most unique were the three people gathered around the young girl.

“I’m Elara, the Hall master here?” her strong voice was different from the strong and unique voices that they had heard until now.

It was not the same as the strong voice of the guard captain, it was not filled with unmatched experience like the voice of the Librarian, and it was also not an arrogant voice of power like that of the mage tower master.

This was a pretty simple voice, yet there was a uniqueness to this voice, a special crisp that not all normal individuals possessed.

“Sorry to disturb your little ‘game’ but it was quite funny to see her like this.” she adjusted her long earth brown hair around her pointed ears poking out from the side as she walked up them with soundless steps.

“Hello there, young miss.”

And when she crouched down before Misha, the young girl looked up at her with new stars in her eyes that were focused on her unique ears.

“H-hello!”

She was not hiding away from her, which meant she did not find her unapproachable even though this was their first time meeting.

There was a unique air around her, an earthly freshness that most humans did not have.

“A-are you an elf?” and, her pointed ears were something that Misha was finding the most unique thing she has seen in a long while.

“Oh? Am I an elf?”

Hall master Elara looked at the mother for permission before she picked up the little girl. She was a little taller than the rest of them, but she was also pretty.

“My dad is an elf, but my mom was a human so you can say I’m a half-elf? You know, the uncommon ones?”

“Woh! A half-elf~?”

They were quite rare around the world, but all those who were born between different species carried unique talents and skills unlike what was shown in many of the popular mainstream media.

Just like this person here, they were so unique and special that they held a special position in the world and in world societies.

They were not human yet they lived among humans without any great problems. And, even among their own kind, they were regarded as a special lifeform that had come to be at the will of this world and nature.

Not only half elves, half-dwarves, half-beastmen, half-demons, half-angels, descendants of divinities, and many unique existences like them were quite a unique lifeform in the world of NO.

“Huhu, you’re the cool one here, you know?”

And, since the Hall master was a half elf, she carried the bloodline of the elves, one of the closest beings to nature.

“I’m cool?”

“Yup, and cute.” she kissed her cheeks before putting her down, knowing well how she found her ears fascinating.

She did not like it when someone touched them. Much like her father’s side, her ears were pretty sensitive as well.

But if this little girl asked her, she would not mind her touching them.

Besides…

She looked up at the rest of them, asking a certain question, and all three of them shook their heads in denial.

“Oh? I see…”

As a lifeform close to nature, she could tell Misha was an Ichorborn naturally. But, the little girl did not know what she was yet, and, actually, it was for the better.

“You’re the one master mentioned in the letter, I presume?” After giving the little girl another warm smile, she finally looked up at the one that had passed the letter from her teacher to her.

“You can call me Alex.” She presented her hand to her and the Hall master gently kissed it, following the normal elvan traditions.

But it almost shocked Miss Rin and the employee who knew this tradition was only followed when someone of a great importance was to be greeted by someone much lower in position.

And, before one of the Hall masters of Yuta, one of the strongest knights of the nation, someone much stronger than the Mage tower master… they did not understand how a low level player like her held a higher position here.

“I’ve heard about you from master before as well, but I did not think you would be accompanied by such unique individuals.”

A slime that had spirits following it around, a Mana beast that seemed to have escaped death, an Ichorborn, a holy power wielder… as well as a unique archer.

“Hello, hey. He’s mine.”

Hall master was looking at him with a unique interest in her eyes, something Alex obviously found delightful.

“Oh, I didn’t mean to…”

She went to Elio and presented her hand to him.

“I was just surprised by that rare sight.”

And, since he By chance knew the traditions and greetings of most races in this world, he did not disrespect her greeting and kissed it just as gently as he should.

“I’m Elio, Hall master Elara. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

“The pleasure is all mine, mister Elio.”

She was quite young for someone with elvan blood, but she was still old enough to be older than her master.

“How about we go back to my office? There seems to be a little more we might need to talk about?”

In her life as an archer, in her life as a weapon wielder, in her entire life as someone who followed the Path of Justice, she had not seen someone who used the bow as uniquely as he did.

“Sure. That would be better actually~.”

Alex herself did not think he would be so compatible with a bow.

She had some ideas of her own, but even if she knew he was not going to agree to any of it, she had to try.

Before someone that was an avid follower of commandments, perhaps he might just change his stubborn, dumb mind.
