39 – You are the elf’s…….

Jerry met my eyes and lowered his head.

I wasn’t particularly embarrassed by this situation.

That’s because even when I first became a rail, on the first day the attendants tried to help me wash.

Rather, it was my fault for not telling Duke that he didn’t need to wait.

So I sent them back with a light apology to them.

“I’m sorry. We don’t need help, so go back.”

“Excuse me….”

The attendants bowed their heads and went back.

I also got out of the bath, finished the bath, and washed my hair and body lightly with a liquid similar to shampoo.

After roughly wiping myself with a towel, I changed into the guest clothes Duke had prepared for me.

The clothes were quite large for my body type, but they were not particularly heavy and light, so it was easy to move around.

As I left the bathroom door, I saw Duke waiting in front of the door.

“I have told you that you can wear the clothes the boy is wearing tomorrow morning. Come follow me I will guide you to the Bocchan’s room.”

I nodded and was guided by the Duke to a room on the second floor.

“This is the room where you will sleep for the time being. I hope it’s a room suitable for you.”

Is this my room?

I was inwardly amazed.

The room I was assigned to was the largest and most splendid room I had ever seen.

The bed was big enough that it wouldn’t fall off no matter how many times I rolled it, and the artifacts hanging in the room helped me sleep or purify the air.

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut in a room that only the children of the imperial family could use.

“Then have a good night. Rail boy.”

“Wait a minute. Duke.”

Before Duke left the room, I checked the clock hanging on the wall.

The time is still not past 10:00 p.M.

It was too early for me, who usually sleeps past midnight.

“Is there no place like a library in the mansion?”

“Yes. There is a library on the first floor.”

“Then guide me there.”

“Okay.”

So I, who had no intention of going to sleep yet, thought of moving to the library.

As I was going down the stairs to the first floor with Duke, I suddenly realized that Chloe was nowhere to be seen.

“Where is Chloe?”

“The lady is currently taking a bath in the bathroom.”

“Is there a bathroom other than the one I used?”

“Yes. The bathroom used by the master and the bathroom dedicated to the lady. Finally, there is a bathroom that the owner uses.”

I laughed inwardly at the fact that there were two more bathrooms larger than the one I had.

Then Duke’s feet stopped in front of the large room while walking down the hallway on the first floor.

Kikik.

Opening the door so large that it was difficult for him to open alone, Duke lightly untied his hand and guided me into the room.

“This is the library used by the lady and the master. I have memorized all the books inside, so if there is a book you want, please let me know.”

“Let’s look around to see what books are there.”

To be honest, I came to the library to pass the time, but that wasn’t the only reason I came here.

Clearly, Chloe seems to have become interested in me because I have changed since I was timid and quiet.

If that’s the case, on the contrary, if you spend time quietly reading a book, you’ll lose interest in me, and you’ll be able to return to the mansion a little faster.

Of course, I don’t think Chloe will let her go so easily, but I can’t say that Chloe isn’t fun when I say I’ll be in the library.

Thinking so, I toured the inside of the library with Duke.

Unlike the fancy room, the color of the wallpaper was generally dark, probably because it was a fairly old library.

However, thanks to the lamps attached between the walls, there seemed to be no hindrance to reading.

Undoubtedly, compared to the libraries on Earth, all of them were new genre books.

Most of them were books related to magic and swords, or books praising the emperor.

And among those books, there was one book that caught my eye.

On the cover of the book, there was a picture that looked like an elf, and the elves were all holding arrows and swords.

And the title of the book was like this.

“The reason why we should turn humans into enemies.”

“…… !”

As I read the title, Duke’s expression wavered for the first time.

And then, as if in a big surprise, he looked at me and the book alternately with round eyes.

That gaze was quite annoying, so I said to Duke.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“You are an elf… …. Sorry. You didn’t look like a butler.”

Duke bowed and apologized to me, then looked at the book I was holding and said.

“Are you going to read that book?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. I’m sorry, but I have to manage the mansion, so if you need anything, please ask the librarian at the library entrance.”

I nodded, and Duke left the library with his head down.

“Whoa.”

When I was finally left alone, I began to relax.

To be precise, I am not alone.

There is a librarian in front of the library entrance, but we couldn’t see each other because it was far from the entrance.

“But can a book like this be here?”

I looked at the book in my hand.

When I inferred the picture on the cover, it seemed like a book that contained the reasons why elves hate humans.

I’ve seen dwarves who are mostly friendly to humans.

He was openly working as a blacksmith at the market.

But elves are different.

It hates humans extremely much, and lives by eating leaves as a tribe in deep forests where humans do not live.

But I didn’t know why elves hate humans.

I only knew that elves hated humans, just as warlocks and light-type wizards had a bad relationship.

That’s why I was curious.

If this book was written by an elf, it was because, from an elf’s point of view, you could see why elves hate humans.

The thickness of the book is not that thick, so it shouldn’t take too long to read it all.

Thought so, I turned the first page of the book.

*

Sararak- Sararak-

In the huge library where only silence lingers, only the sound of paper being turned over echoed.

But that sound didn’t reach my ears either.

Being completely immersed in the book, I could understand why elves hate humans.

First of all, elves don’t eat meat.

However, humans hunted animals and peeled off their skins to use as clothes, and the meat inside was eaten raw or grilled over an open fire for a cruel meal.

It’s the same reason that foreigners frowned at Koreans a long time ago for eating pupae.

But humans aren’t the only ones who eat animals.

Dwarves and other alien species also ate animal meat.

Therefore, the reason why elves hated humans was the following.

War.

A long time ago, a lot of nature was destroyed and humans died in a war that broke out on each continent.

However, countless elves and other creatures caught up in the human war lost their lives.

The elves lost their families and lost their place to build a house due to human greed.

After the war, financial support was provided to the elves to compensate for the damage, but the elves refused and completely pretended to be humans.

And finally, the decisive reason for incurring the anger of the elves was written at the end of the book.

Slaves.

Elves are the most beautiful of all races.

Eat dew and leaves from trees, they don’t gain weight, and all of them are tall and have good body proportions.

Besides, their faces were also beautiful, as if they were carved by God himself, so humans paid great attention to elves.

The number of elves who do not reproduce well has been greatly reduced due to the war.

Nevertheless, humans did not choose any means or methods to buy elves as slaves.

All of those methods were evil enough to frown.

After kidnapping a young elf, other elves demand it as a ransom.

Of course, elves with high tribal love accept the human’s request, but the human also takes the elves as hostages.

This book contained the vicious human appearance as if he had personally experienced it and the various emotions he experienced as a result.

After reading the book completely, I closed the book.

And then he exhaled deeply.

“Ha ha.”

Is it because he immersed himself in the book and sympathized with the emotions of the elf, or is it because he feels guilty as a human being?

My chest feels stuffy.

I could understand why elves hate humans so much.

I was happy to be able to resolve that question, but I was not very comfortable.

I turned my head to check the time.

It was past midnight.

I thought I would read it quickly, but it took me quite a while, probably because I read slowly while immersing myself in it.

Just as I was about to stand up and put the book in, I heard a voice next to me.

“Your concentration is amazing. I’ve been by your side all the time, but I didn’t notice.”

I turned around at the voice I heard – Chloe was looking at me with a very interesting face.

Then he pointed at the book I was holding and asked.

“By the way, rails. How can you read the language of the elves?”
