The Arrogant Heroine Was Too Overbearing, So I Immediately Switched Sides to Become the Traitor-Chapter 49 - Elves from the Mysterious East
When it was time to get out of the car, Evan saw Isabella and Sylvie embracing each other in the passenger seat, licking the... remnants from the corners of each other’s mouths, and casting extremely seductive glances at him.
So lewd.
The enchanting scene before him, once again made Evan deeply realize that this was an erotic game world. At the same time, he also understood that the seven-day, seven-night hot spring trip would be far less simple than he had imagined, and would definitely be more mentally and physically taxing.
Hmm... But there was nothing he could do. Having already arrived at the destination, how could he back out now? He ignored the two who were still having their “breakfast” halfway there. Evan was the first to get out of the car, and didn’t forget to pull up his pants first.
The hot spring inn was located deep in a certain forested mountain near the highway. After getting off the highway, he had to drive uphill for about half an hour before seeing this place among the lush leaves.
At the end of the mountain road were the fields under development, and a small village. And in front of him, was an ordinary-looking, two-story wooden longhouse. It didn’t look big. At least, it was much, much smaller than the manor Sylvie lived in at school.
The exterior of the house showed signs of age; the walls were a bit darkened. However, the creeping ivy that hung straight down from the eaves and roof tiles, and the vibrant pink cherry blossoms blooming among them, which seemed to have been grafted on using some unknown technique, made the small inn before him appear warm and lovely.
The summer breeze blew. Cherry blossoms scattered with the wind, falling like rain in the courtyard. Compared to the bustling city, this place was like a different world, quiet and filled with a certain kind of beauty.
Hmm. Evan was now certain. The hot spring inn before him was indeed the type of place young women would love most, a place that would look great and very fresh in photos.
Beside the wooden gate of the garden, a white paper lantern bearing the character for “firefly” was hanging. After driving in, the not-so-spacious parking lot was currently empty, reportedly because Isabella and Sylvie had booked the entire place.
However. Originally, this hot spring inn was only open to major nobles and always accommodated only one group of guests. Therefore, to be able to book it immediately after seeing it last night and come to stay today, Isabella and Sylvie had to use a little bit of their “power” to make the original guests tactfully withdraw.
Hmm. One could only say that although the United Empire advocated freedom, it was still quite a strictly hierarchical society.
“Welcome.” A slender elven girl wearing a pink cherry blossom kimono, holding a long broom, greeted him timidly. Only then did Evan belatedly realize that this hot spring inn named [Forest of Fireflies] was operated by the elves of the Radiant Holy Kingdom, a sort of “state-owned inn” in a sense.
Hmm. In other words, it was a place specifically for the major nobles of the United Empire in the Eternal City to “travel” and “relax.” Of course, it didn’t provide any of the particularly famous lewd services of the elves, like their very famous Kabukicho or Yoshiwara pleasure quarters or something similar. Instead, it was a very proper, quiet place for noble ladies to go on outings, or for many major nobles to hold meetings and discussions.
In the original game. Alexia, as the protagonist, could occasionally proactively initiate the “hot spring trip” option, come here to vacation with the female characters, and trigger favorability events. Of course, this kind of good thing had nothing to do with him, who was originally the chief simp knight. Because even when he came on hot spring trips, he would still faithfully stand guard outside fully armed, protecting Alexia’s safety.
Hmm. Thinking of this, Evan couldn’t help but twitch. Heh heh, the simp knight was truly beyond saving.
His thoughts gradually returned to reality. Evan looked at the beautiful and frail elven girl before him, thinking about the setting for elves in this erotic game world. They lived on an island, usually having golden hair and long ears, only giving birth to females and all of them extremely beautiful.
Therefore, for the continuation of their race, they had a long-standing tradition of inviting outstanding men from other races to become live-in husbands to bear offspring. This was because no matter whether they married humans, dwarves, dragonkin, demonkin, or vampires, the children born would only be female elves.
Of course, in the customs of the elves, the foreign men sought out would be called “adopted sons.” Not only would they have to change their surname, but they would also have the right of inheritance for the family.
Elves also loved to wear beautiful kimonos and enjoy cherry blossoms in the spring. They were very particular about etiquette. They would also often say some inexplicable, very melancholic words, believing that all things had spirits, and every existence in the world—mountains and rivers, flowers and birds, insects and fish—was the deity itself. This was what Sylvie had said. The elves’ deity, [World Tree], could be every tree in the world, or even not a tree, but any other thing.
Hmm. Legend had it that the island where the elves lived had actually drifted from the distant mysterious East, eventually settling on the vast sea outside the United Empire. Whether this was true or false was unknown. Therefore, in terms of culture and customs, elves were actually closer to the mysterious and esoteric ancient East than to the current United Empire.
Thinking of this, Evan remembered even more. If he was not mistaken, the landlady of this hot spring inn was none other than...
“Welcome, are you Mr. Evan?”
It seemed that what he thought of immediately appeared. A soft and gentle female voice quietly came from in front. What Evan saw was a tall elven woman wearing wooden clogs, slowly walking towards him.
She was wearing an elegant light blue kimono, looking like a mature and steady older sister. Her head full of light golden hair was held by a wooden hairpin and tied at the back of her head. The unique exquisite face of an elf always made people pause slightly upon first seeing it, and only then would they begin to identify her features.
The woman had a pair of slender, shimmering peach-blossom eyes. The two golden pupils held in her eyes trembled slightly. A quiet smile was always on her lightly made-up face.
Hmm. Indeed, elves were the most perfect females in the world. Evan was now deeply convinced of this. Not only was she beautiful, but her figure was also... Judging from the loose kimono, that high, full curve seemed even larger than Isabella’s. This was somewhat terrifying!!!
“My name is Yayoi Hanazono.” The gentle-looking elven woman introduced herself softly, making Evan even more certain of her identity. She was the resident hostess of this yuri erotic game. Although not the protagonist, she was one of the popular characters. Because no matter what city or location Alexia, the game’s protagonist, was in, as long as she wanted to go on a hot spring trip, she could meet the elven woman in front of him working as the landlady. She was a character similar to an NPC in a shop.
According to the setting, all the high-end hot spring inns in the entire United Empire belonged to their Hanazono family. Of course, that wasn’t all. Because Evan also remembered that one of the female protagonists of the erotic game, Satsuki Hanazono, was her twin sister...
