I Got a Cheat and Moved to Another World, so I Want to Live as I Like

ficult to defeat them, and what we want are underground resources」

Do you understand? He glared at him and added.

「Even if we take their land, it is useless if there are no people to dig and refine it.
We elves don’t like that kind of work, and we don’t want the hassle of having to control and force the human to work for us」

The knight commander snickered at the Chairman as he finished his sentence.

「You’re an idiot, aren’t you? What we need to take is only the neighboring land」

The chairman peels his eyes open and the fat high elf raises his eyebrows unpleasantly.
On the other hand, the old woman leaning against the knight commander holds her hand over her mouth and giggles in a funny way.

「All we need is a land to dump our garbage and a trade route.
If we can extend our reach to the border of the Kingdom and the northern countries, we no longer need to rely on the Empire」

When he flicks his finger, the map tapestry hanging on the wall changes.
The borders of the Spirit Forest, the Empire, the Kingdom, and the northern country expanded.
Next, the rural city of the Empire, just south of the Spirit Forest, glowed red.

「From this location, we can push back the Empire, trade with other human nations, and at the same time, work to separate ourselves from the Empire.
I think this should be enough」

Hearing this proposal, almost everyone, including the Chairman, was silent.
He examined this proposal in his mind.

「….It’s not bad」

The fat high elf spoke in a serious tone.
He did not like this high elf, who was as thin as a dead tree.
But he would have to admit that he was not stupid.

「This is the best plan for our current situation huh」

The Chairman groans.

「Now then, when should we depart? My side is ready to go anytime」

The high elf, who was as thin as a dead tree, smiled happily and asked the Chairman.
But it was the old woman next to her, her head resting on his shoulder, who interrupted him.

「There’s no need for the elven Knights to go all the trouble to do that now aren’t there? We can try luring the demon beasts there for now」

That’s true huh? He said in an arrogant manner, laughing out of the corner of his eyes.

「The demon beasts should be enough to deal with the likes of the Knights of the human race.
When the High Elves come out, I shall deal with them myself」

Looking over at the Knight Commander and the old woman who rubbed their cheeks together, the Chairman thought about what they had just said.
The Knights are their trump card, and if this can be done with demon beasts, it would be better.
If the Empire is already prepared and waiting for them, then so much the better.

(I’m also worried about the existence that equivalent to a high elf)

We can hit the less important guys and observe the situation.
There is no reason not to adopt this idea.
Having made his decision, the chairman turned to everyone in the conference room and shouted in a strong voice.

「Alright, then the demon beasts, especially those called vermin.
Let’s try to intimidate them and lure them south to the Empire」

Some of the people in the room expressed their agreement.
Thus, the plan for the Elven village’s attack on the Empire was decided.

***

The scene moves from the spirit to the royal capital, far to the southeast.
The red-light district after the sun has set.
There was an old man skipping through the back alleys.

「I’m really looking forward to it」

That was me.
I’m on my way to the 『Uniform Store』.
Today is my first appointment with Ponytail since she returned working part-time there.
It can’t be helped that my pants are bulging with anticipation right now.

「The person who made a reservation, Tauro, has arrived~」

I pushed my way to the old concierge at the counter in the back of the lobby with high spirits.
I couldn’t find Ponytail’s figure on the platform, but it was not strange since I had already made a reservation.
I smiled and took out my guild card, but for some reason the old concierge didn’t want to take it.
With a gloomy expression, he opens his mouth apologetically.

「Actually, we’re having a little trouble」

From what I’ve heard from him, apparently Ponytail was very upset with me for some reason.

「She holed up in the playroom with her junior?」

One of her juniors in the pilot school, Black Tights-chan.
She is said to have taken her into a room without permission and locked it from the inside.

『She want to lecture me and make me apologize to Black Tights-chan』

So when he came to the store, bring him to me.
Or so she insisted.
He thought about forcing his way in with the master key, but he wanted to at least let me know of this first.
He decided to do so and waited for me to come.
After he finished speaking, the old concierge let out a long, small sigh.

(Full energy as always, aren’t she)

Contrary to the concierge’s worries, my mood is only getting better.

(Head alone to the room with Ponytail and Black Tights-chan and apologize to Black Tights-chan?)

Very well.
I don’t know what I should be apologizing for, but bring it on.
I replied to the old concierge in a calm voice with the calmness of an adult.

「It’s okay, if that’s how she wants to do it, then fine by me」

I will pay for them both.
When I told him that, the old concierge lowered his back and muttered, 『We’re really sorry』.
But he didn’t stop there, and continued to speak as if he had trouble saying it.

「…..It will have to be on another appointment, is it?」

Black Tights-chan already had a reservation, and the customer would be arriving soon.

(Now that’s a shame)

This was a dream collaboration between senior and junior students of the pilot school.
And the performance theme was 『to make me apologize』 which was a fresh experience.
I also wanted to stand on the stage called “bed” with them.

(But if there’s another customer looking forward to their play with Black Tights-chan, then I won’t be able to do that)

Unable to give up, I was troubled and made a suggestion.
