It appears that Priestess-chan already knew the history of how I obtained Diana and Marina after hearing the story from Diana herself.
I was wondering how someone from the elf clan would think of a guy who enslaved a high elf but she didn’t appear to hold any special feeling of antipathy either. Since she is an elderly elf who has already experienced sweet and sour things in life, I guess she wouldn’t be shaken up by each and every thing.
Either that or Diana must have explained it really well to her.
—In any case, it seems like I am still able to continue my friendly relationship with Priestess-chan from now on. Or rather, I can use Diana as an excuse to deepen my friendship with her!
That said I should try asking about that day.
“So…what is 『That day』 all about? I am actually not really informed about that side of the story….. It might be a subject that is difficult for you all to answer though…..hahaha” [Jirou]
“It’s not about menstruation.” [Priestess-chan]
As expected of Priestess-chan!
She declared it clearly and distinctly!
“*Cough*…..that day actually refers to the elves’ rest day, goshujin-sama. For the elves that are staying in human dwellings, they require 『a space only for themselves』 to take a slow rest regularly. Otherwise, their spirit magic might become unusable. Although elves that live in a dense forest with spirit power do not need this cultural practice…..” [Diana]
“A slow pace is it…” [Jirou]
“It’s not just relaxing at a slow pace, Jirou-san. It should be a place where humans couldn’t lay their hands on as much as possible and also a place that they wouldn’t be able to enter from now on too. On top of that it needs to be a place with dense spirit power and it needs to be close to where they are living as the conditions. So, it’s something that is really important for elves to find that specific place for their daily use.” [Priestess-chan]
So I guess it’s something like a place…..to recover the spirit power. To be specific, a power spot…. If this were a game, it would be 「a place to recover your MP once you stay there」…? Well I guess something like that is essential to the elves. Especially since Priestess-chan is similar to a spirit magician in her work.
“So that’s the reason, goshujin-sama. Please permit me to act independently on that day until I find the specific place only for me.” [Diana]
“Aa, I don’t mind it. It would be bad for a human like me to know Priestess-sama’s place, wouldn’t it? That aunty from the temple has also mentioned it before. That 『the place that the elves go to on that day would only be known by someone who has an intimate relationship with them』.” [Jirou]
“Th-That’s right. O-Of course once I found my place, I will definitely inform goshujin-sama! Immediately!” [Diana]
“Un. But you don’t need to force yourself alright. It’s better to have some kind of understanding between races.” [Jirou]
When I replied so, once again Diana started sulking by saying, “Muu–! I don’t know! Pui–!”
I would actually like to know it alright. Good grief.
However, well for the time being I’m glad I knew what that day is about. It’s quite regrettable that it’s not a mating period. But of course I have not expected it to be really true! That is natural!
But why did they need to describe that day in some kind of special code-like expression?
Were there embarrassing factors inside?
“If you do not allow them to take a proper rest on that day, there were cases whereby the elves’ sense of reason become weaker so please take precaution of this, Jirou-san.” [Priestess-chan]
Sense of reason becoming weaker….
As I thought isn’t that similar to them being in heat?!
