It's hurt
That is the only thing that she can think of,
Why this kind of thing happened to her?
What is her sin?
What is her mistake?
She did everything for her mother, but is this the only reward she got?
Her mother had locked her in attics, but why?
Is it because she is too ugly?
Or is it because she is constantly being a pest to her mother when the latter brings a man home?
'Why? Why can't I be happy like other kids?' The snow-haired girl thought to herself. It was a cold and lonely moment for her; there was no bed or heater in this place. Is this how people treat their kids during winter?
Locking them somewhere dark without a source of light and cold without a source of heat while having fun with a man.
She wants to be happy like the other kids she saw through the window. How does it feel to make a ball using snow and throw it at other people? It must have been fun, right? Playing with their friends...
Friend...
She had read some books about friends before, aren't they supposed to be someone loyal and kind? But the last time she made friends, they punched and kicked her in the face. Does it mean that the concept of friends doesn't exist?
Or maybe it exists somewhere else?
She hopes that she will get a true friend in the future.

"So, how does that feel like?"
"You mean sex?"
"Yup~"
Seriously, although he is pretty thankful that she cooked for him but doesn't mean she can just ask that kind of question when he eats something. Where are her manners?
"Haaaaah...." Sieg let out a tired sigh, sure that Serena was the type that he knew so much about. A pervert who constantly asks about his sex life, he had already slept with two girls with a similar personality to hers.
"Why are you so fascinated by this kind of stuff?" He asked the Elf girl, who grinned in response to his question.
"Don't you think sex is interesting?"
"Hmmm, then care to tell me why you think so..." He finished the food on the plate and gulped down all the water in the glass.
"From what I hear, Humans, Beatkin, and other races copulate like that to produce children." Sieg raised his brow at her answer.
"Wait, are you saying elves races can't give birth?"
Serena looked at him with tilted her head in confusion. It was like she had heard something unlogical coming out of Sieg's mouth. How does he not know? Isn't that literally common sense that elves can't reproduce by themself?
"You didn't know about that, Mister?"
"About what?"
"About elves don't need to have sex to produce children; it is unlogical for us to have that ability, considering our inner system doesn't work like and has a different structure compared to other races."
"Huh? Then how did you guys make children? Don't tell me that you guys mix baby oil with baby powder. Stir in baby peas an-"
"Mister...What are you on about?" She cut him off before he had a chance to finish.
"Well, I just want to know how you guys make kids."
"Well, I can tell you that, but... How come you didn't know about it?" Sieg looked at her weirdly.
"Is that a weird question to ask?"
"As a matter of fact... Yes, it is a weird thing to ask. Because Elf origin is common knowledge, Heck, even five-year-olds know about this stuff. So how come you didn't know about it?"
"If I said that I'm not from here, what is your answer?"
"Well, if you are not from the Luft Kingdom, the Elf origin is widespread across the world of Eirini."
"Well, I'm not really that exposed to elf... Welp, I'm not really interested in them well until I meet you." This answer had made Serena look at him with disapproval.
"How come you aren't interested in our race? Our race is literally the safest to have sex with; you can literally fuck me for more than one hundred times and come into me, turning me into your personal cum dump without having to worry about me being pregnant."
".....That is weird, but can you tell me about Elf?" She sighed at him.
"Well...To make it short, there is no such thing as a different type of family in our place. All elves were born from the same mother, Mouni, the Goddess of Forest. She is the one who produces us."
"Wait, hold on for a second...Goddess of Forest? So are you saying the elves are a race of divinity?" Serena shook her head.
"Not really...Just because we are born from the womb of a goddess doesn't make us come from a divine lineage. We only share her beauty and appearance - Big breasts and pointy ears but not a single divinity running in our blood."
"Okay... So how did this goddess create your races? Also, if you guys share almost the same appearance as her, does that mean there are no girls who don't share the same face as you, and there is no male elf?"
"Well, for the appearance, no, we still look different from each other but still have the beauty of our goddess, which is why elves are the most expensive race in the Slave Trading, and for the male elf...yes, we don't have one."
"How high?"
"Ohhhhhh~ Are you interested in buying an elf when you already have a cute one in front of you~?" Although it sounds pretty cute when she says that, her face is serious, promising a painful death if he makes a wrong move.
Well, it seems like she doesn't like her race being a slave to another, but that doesn't need a sherlock to figure that out.
"Hmmm, not really; I'm only interested in the price because you said one elf is expensive, and my question is, how expensive?" Serena had calmed down after he said that, but she still looked suspiciously at him.
"Well, around one hundred million to three billion ErD."
"That is a lot of money..." Well, he doesn't know how currency works in this world, so he will pretend that he knows about it. "You still haven't answered me about how your goddess makes elves..."
"Well, our goddess created us by using her power. I don't know the detail, but I heard she created us using sunlight and moonlight."
"But that didn't sound like the full story. Didn't you say that elves' origin is a common thing?"
"Yup, that is the common knowledge in general."
"I See...."
