243 – Live-in Son-in-law? #3

“Stella Belhawk—”

Aira drew out her words in response to my question.

“I’ve heard of the Bellhawk’s Young Lady. She used to be called the Fairy Princess, right?”

“The Fairy Princess?”

“Yes, she was the pride of the elves. In old fairy tales, aren’t there princesses who get captured by dragons or evil demon lords?”

“There are many.”

“I heard she would fit that role perfectly. In fact, the story of the Fairy Elice in Wonderland is based on the Bellhawk’s Young Lady.”

“... Fairy Elice in Wonderland?”

“Yes, the fairy tale protagonist who gave rise to the Elice Syndrome. It’s an interesting story; you should read it sometime.”

... I wasn’t entirely sure what Fairy “Elice in Wonderland” was, but I could clearly grasp the intent behind Aira’s words.

Stella Belhawk was originally a woman beautiful and lovely enough to be worthy of the title “princess.” However, it was hard to connect that image with her current appearance.

While I was trying to understand this, Aira added a comment.

“Elves live through long periods of youth. Some call it a blessing, for others, it’s a curse. Because people change over time.”

Indeed.

When I thought about it that way, it made sense. Even Aira and Elga had undergone significant personality changes in just one semester. As for me, I could say I had become a completely different person over the past few years.

Elves would go through many things in their long lives, so it wouldn’t be strange if they changed over time.

“But more importantly, Theo, the weather is very nice. Are you sure it won’t rain?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hmm.”

Aira yawned lazily while wearing her high-end obsidian sunglasses. She then stretched out languidly on a beach bench under the shade of a parasol.

“Wake me up in an hour.”

Salang, Salang-. With a gentle breeze fanned by Lily, Aira soon began to breathe softly in her sleep. Only then was I able to let up and look around.

The sky was mostly clear with a few clouds.

The air was cool and refreshing, and the lake was crystal clear and blue. The white sand around it made it feel like we were at a beach.

Bang!

“Oh? Theo, watch out!”

Just then, I felt something flying towards me with a loud noise. I quickly turned my head and a round, soft object hit my face.

“Ugh.”

“Ah, sorry. The ball bounced that way. It’s not my fault, Narumi served it weirdly.”

Elga, wearing a red swimsuit, approached me, her chest bouncing with each step. She picked up the large ball rolling on the ground and headed back to the court.

“Do you want to join?”

“No, thanks.”

But seeing everyone playing, it did look fun.

Maybe I should take a break too...
