How to Survive as a Princess in a Reverse Harem Game - Chapter 231

To think he’s returned to the village after evacuating outside the World Tree……. Perhaps I slept longer than I perceived.

—May I come in?

At The Guardian’s question, Killis also looked at me as if asking for permission. When I nodded, saying it was fine, The Guardian entered.

When I tried to get up to greet him, he stopped me as well.

—Please remain at ease. I heard you sustained internal injuries.

I’m fine now, but…….

Still, since the other party was showing consideration, there was no reason to refuse, so I remained seated on the bed.

—First, thank you. I knew you would succeed.

“No. On the contrary……. I’m grateful you believed in me.”

If the World Tree collapsed, the world would be destroyed anyway, so I was going to deal with the Nex regardless.

However, thanks to The Guardian lending the elf warriors, even though the plan went awry, we were able to deal with the remaining Nex smoothly.

—You are too humble. Unlike other humans.

Is he referring to Meliana when he says “other humans”?

—You may boast of your achievements. Thanks to you, we were able to deal with the mutant Nex without casualties. Our home is safe too.

“It’s all thanks to The Guardian’s trust.”

The Guardian simply smiled silently. At the end of his short smile, he opened his mouth again.

—Since you have passed the trial, I must give you the token as promised.

However……?

—In truth, I didn’t expect the Nex problem to be resolved so quickly, so I haven’t made the token yet.

I had been tense, but I felt relieved at his next words. It was because, for a brief moment, I had prepared myself for the worst-case scenario where he couldn’t give me the token.

Even though I didn’t do anything wrong……. If he were to bundle Meliana’s actions as ‘something a human did’ and denounce me, I wouldn’t have been able to argue otherwise.

—I need time to make the token. Would you be willing to wait?

“Can I know how long I’ll have to wait?”

—About a week should be enough.

“A week…….”

It’s not so long that I can’t wait, but it’s taking longer than I expected.

—I understand your impatience, but I hope you will be understanding. It takes a long time to craft the spirit stone.

“Spirit stone?”

—It is a stone where ancient spirits slumber. It is formed when spirits, no longer desiring new contractors, let themselves go and return to nature.

Such a thing exists?

“Um, then, wouldn’t carving it be bad for the spirit?”

—That’s not the case. Their souls have already departed. It is merely a beautiful stone.

Ah, I see.

—I believe it was promised that the token would represent each race. And since spirit stones are usually formed when high elves return to Arbor’s embrace, we decided to use them as tokens.

Then the tokens given to each race would be different.

—Can you wait for us? While you wait, we will sincerely entertain you.

“Yes. I will.”

A week should be fine, right? I, and others, need to rest too.

—Also, there is something else you should know.

“Me……?”

—You are not the only one receiving a token.

That means.

“Does that mean Her Highness the Second Princess is also receiving a token?”

Killis was faster than me.

—That is correct.

“Why? Her Highness almost put the village in danger.”

—I will not deny that. However, it is also true that she contributed to the extermination of the Nex. That human burned the mutant Nex’s nests and eggs.

“But……!”

—I know your achievements are greater. There was also much opposition among the elves. However, more than half of the elves argued that it was only right to give that human a token as well.

Killis had much to say but was trying hard to hold it back. I was equally flustered.

Seeing Natura and the other elves show their resentment, I had unconsciously assumed Meliana wouldn’t receive a token…

—However, since the achievements are clearly different, it is also true that you should be justly rewarded. Therefore, we wish to reward you separately in our own way. Is there anything you desire?

“If I desire anything…….”

—Anything we can give you is fine.

“Anything?”

—That’s right. If you wish, even copulation is possible.
