An Elf's Request

Flip, flip... flip. In the early summer sun, I, Shina Juliel, finished reading the book I had borrowed from the library and sipped a cup of warm tea. The place is a café facing the main street of the commercial district.
"Fu... fufu~!"
As I ruminate over the contents of the book I just read, I can't help but smile, surrendering to the pleasant fatigue that comes after finishing a good book. People passing by seemed to stop and look at me, but I remained oblivious, lost in thought about the story I had just read.
It was a romance novel. A story about an awkward protagonist who meets a demihuman heroine who has drifted into a certain town and, after many twists and turns, they end up together.
It was an ordinary story, something that could be dismissed as a cheap novel. But for some reason, I was so engrossed in it that I lost track of time.
In the past, I never used to read books just for enjoyment like this. I had been desperately trying to acquire knowledge, like a cornered beast, in order to reclaim my homeland, to become stronger, and to restore my connection with the spirits that I had lost. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever come out to a crowded street like this before.
