"Uhuk!"

I almost choked when I saw her status window.

After coughing a little, I drank some water and began to watch the status window that had been floating in the air more carefully.

"Hmm? Is there something wrong with my face?"

Her face, which was behind the status window, tilted to the side in confusion.

But I ignored her confusion.

Because I myself was shocked when I saw the title she had.

Especially her two strange titles, The Lost Princess and Elf's Heir.

How could a receptionist girl have such titles? The Lost Princess? Elf's Heir? Was that even possible?

'Could it be that she was not human, but an Elf?'

I gulped down some saliva on my tongue.

I tried to calm myself down. I was also trying to digest the new information I had gotten.

What entered my mind as soon as I saw the titles The Lost Princess and Elf's Heir in her status window was...

I suddenly remembered that in the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light, one of the women in Jullian's harem list was an Elf, and the true identity of the Elf woman was referred to as one of the Elf Princesses.

'Was that Veronica? But that's impossible. Their names aren't even the same. How could they be the same person?'

I remembered the name of the woman from the Elf Race who entered Jullian's Harem Party. That person's name was Vanessa, not Veronica.

I had also seen the face of the elven woman who entered Jullian's Harem Party in person in my previous life. With that information, the conclusion I came to was that the two of them were different people. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

But... when I looked at Veronica's face more closely and took a serious look at her, I could somehow see a resemblance between the two of them.

I only ever saw Vanessa's face from a distance. When I was fighting on the same battlefield.

So I couldn't be sure. Moreover, the difference in timeline makes me even more uncertain about their resemblance.

My eyes shifted from looking at her face to her ears.

The biggest factor that puzzled me the most was that Veronica's ears were just like normal human ears. In fact, if she were an Elf, her ears should be long.

'Is it the effect of magic? Or the effect of an artifact?'

I thought about it, until finally ….

"Eh?"

Smack!

"Aw!"

Surprisingly, Veronica's hand slapped me.

Since I wasn't paying close attention, I couldn't avoid it.

I rubbed my cheek where she slapped me.

"It hurts, you know! Why did you do it?"

"Don't you know the reason? I'll give you some advice once again. Perhaps it's more appropriate to call it a lesson."

Once again, she adjusted her glasses, and she also pushed her long hair that she had braided back.

"Never look at girls like that. If you're interested in a girl, use other means. Stares like that can make girls disgusted."

Without realizing it, it seemed that I had been looking at her seriously.

I didn't want to argue, so I just nodded.

'At least, she's not like Clarista, a girl who's overconfident and likes to make strange assumptions.'

The Elf race.

I started thinking about it.

After their appearance in the interracial war several tens of years ago, they had again disappeared from the Averus Continent.

The Elf race was not the same as the association where the Beastman race gathered. If the Varmint Association had a definite territory, then the territory of the Elf race was still a secret.

It was common knowledge that the Elf race was already among the four largest races on the Averus Continent.

Surprisingly, no one knew exactly where the Elf Kingdom was located.

People today only know about it from the words of their elders, who told them about the appearance of the Elf Kingdom during the war between the races decades ago.

'If the title Veronica had was true, then how could she be here alone and mingle with the humans?'

Just from looking at the very hidden location of their kingdom, it was clear that the Elf Race was a very closed race. If the other Elves knew, there was no way they would let one of their race live in human society.

'Or, was Veronica herself unaware that she had Elf blood in her body?'

It wasn't a good choice to ask her about it directly. I wasn't so stupid as to ask spontaneously.

To find out the answer to that question, I had to ask the other Elves in the Kingdom of Misonia.

And the only Elves that existed in the Kingdom of Misonia were the envoys of the Elf race that existed in the royal capital.

I wonder if the other Elf races knew that their princess was in the midst of human society or not.

After all, I had planned to go there from the start.

'There are so many things I don't know. It seems that I should stop being surprised when I see something I don't know.'

I planted that thought in my heart.

In the novel, Demon Lord and Hero of Light, there was no arc that talked specifically about Elves.

I don't know why it was only briefly mentioned in the novel. It was so short, there were probably only a few paragraphs contained in one or two pages.

Was that what people call a plot hole? Where a story isn't told perfectly?

And then, would that change what I want to do? Of course, it wouldn't. From the beginning, I've planned to patch up the plot holes with information from my previous life.

This time, I won't avoid danger anymore. I won't just focus on surviving. I should be able to get a life that matches what I want.

"Do you really want to know about me?"

"Of course. If you don't mind."

"Umm. I'm not sure what to tell you. But, there will be a commotion in the city soon. And if you show your true strength, I'm sure the old man will take notice of you."

"Then, what does that have to do with you?"

"If you are noticed by the old man, we will meet again. And who knows, you might receive an interesting offer."

"Who is the old man you're referring to?"

He didn't answer my question.

Instead, she took a drink in front of her.

"By the way, are you sure you want to take the quest?"

What kind of random question did she throw out? Did she want to change the subject?

But I still understood what she meant.

"You mean this?"

I took out a paper from my pocket.

It was a paper containing the details of the requests I received. This quest paper was taken from the headquarters of the Adventurer's Association.

Before I left earlier, I had taken this quest.

[Quest Rank: F

Description:

Protects the charitable activities carried out by Charity Hope Foundation.

Place: Clock Tower in the Western district.

Time: Every day. The recipient of the request can come to the place in question anytime.]

This quest was only a rank F quest, so I could still take it because I was also a rank F Adventurer.

The reason why I wanted to register as an Adventurer was because I wanted to take this quest.

"The party that posted the request is the Charity Hope Foundation, right?"

"Why?"

"You'd better be careful. I've heard a lot that Adventurers who accept this quest will never be seen again the next day. They disappear mysteriously. But according to the report from the person who made the quest, they died because they were beaten by criminals. Even so, their bodies are never seen."

Veronica gave me a warning.

Actually, it was only natural that every quest had a high risk of accidents.

Even if the Adventurer's Association had ranked the quests to match the Adventurer's rank, the risk of danger was still present in every quest. Whether low or high rank.

But it would seem very strange when F-rank quests can make people die when carrying them out. That's why the quest I took was different from the usual low-level quests.

'Well, I know exactly the reason why this quest was different from other low quests.'

That's why I had targeted to take this quest from the beginning.

I had to take this quest because this quest had a connection with the abduction of the Beastman.

Charity Hope Foundation was a charity foundation founded by a slave trader. Under the guise of giving charity, the slaver would kidnap children and make them slaves.

As for the reason why they set up quests to accompany them during their charity activities, it was actually just to lure low-ranked adventurers. Just like a honey trap.

Even so....

'I just need to take the honey bait and avoid the trap, right.'
