Leisurely daily life in the elf world

"Ang~"

"Ah~"

"Plop plop~"

In a large lake in the Orange Blossom Forest.

A pristine, elegant figure glides quietly across the mirror-like surface of the lake.

Large groups of elegant and beautiful white figures are either pecking at aquatic plants by the water's edge or diving into the water to catch small fish and shrimp.

Occasionally, a few white figures would spread their wings, push off with their feet beneath the water's surface, and fly into the sky with their pure white wings covered in glistening water droplets.

Ripples spread across the lake's surface.

In the lake protected by the dancing swans, a group of ducklings with light blue feathers are playing and frolicking on the surface of the water.

In the middle of this lake is a swan that is slightly larger than the other swans, and whose wings and feathers are more beautiful.

This dancing swan is very beautiful. Under the sunlight, its feathers even shimmer with a crystal-clear light.

Like a silent statue standing in the water.

Beautiful and sacred.

"Heh~"

"Heh~"

The silent swan statue raised its head.

Upon seeing that familiar figure in the sky, the leader of the Swan Dancers couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Above the lake, a bluebird with wings as fluffy and light as white clouds is circling and dancing in the sky.

"Heh~"

"Heh~"

A series of beautiful, melodious calls came from the mouth of the Tanabata.

This is the courtship dance of the bluebird on the night of the Double Seventh Festival.

The Swan Dancer is still quite beautiful among flying sprites.

He naturally had quite a few suitors.

Moreover, from the perspective of the Swans' leader, the courtship dance of this bluebird, which was even stronger than itself, was still somewhat awkward.

But it was much better than the first time this guy danced in front of me.

At first, the Dancing Swan was wary of the approaching bluebird.

Although both are Elite Four level Pokémon, this Altaria is much stronger than itself.

If the Tanabata uses its flock to surround itself, the Dancing Swan has no way to resolve the situation.

He abandoned his tribe and fled alone.

This is not something a qualified leader should do.

Originally, the dancing swan was prepared to endure humiliation and deceive the Qixi bluebird.

After all, among wild Pokémon, it's not uncommon for them to conquer a partner who is weaker than themselves through sheer strength.

The weak have never had a choice.

Although elves and humans are two different species, they do have some things in common.

The Swan Dancer even refused the courtship dance of the Bluebird of the Seven Nights, seemingly prepared to die.

But the Altaria didn't get angry like the Flying-type Pokémon she had rejected before.

Instead, she withdrew slightly in disappointment, and the next day she pursued him again with a gift dance.

Although it was repeatedly rejected by the dancing swan, this bluebird seemed to possess an indomitable tenacity.

They didn't care at all about the indifferent attitude of the Swan Dancer.

Most importantly, the Dancing Swan felt "respect" from the Qixi Bluebird.

Although the Dancing Swan also believes in the principle of strength above all else, it must be said that the Bluebird's behavior made her feel very favorably towards it.

They are completely different from those Pokémon who treat themselves like a berry or an evolution stone and fight over them at will.

This is why the Dancing Swan breeds the Qixi Bluebird to dance in the sky above its own territory.

Instead of using a water cannon to drive the sprite away.

I watched the Tanabata bluebird in the sky, still flapping its wings diligently, trying to please me.

The leader of the dancing swans spread her wings, and her pure white feathers stirred up glistening water droplets.

"Xi!"

Watching the leader of the Dancing Swans fly away from the water, the leader of the Seven-Day Bluebirds was somewhat flattered.

And when I saw the white and beautiful figure of the Swan Dancer responding to my dance moves in the air.

This feeling immediately transformed into a million fireworks of surprise that exploded in my chest.

The joyful sounds even made him a little dizzy, and his dancing became somewhat chaotic.

The dancing swans below saw their leader flying together in the air with the king-level Tanabata.

Each one of them excitedly flapped its wings on the water's surface, letting out loud, joyful cries.

Some of the bolder dancers even flew into the sky to dance alongside their leaders.

Celebrate your leader finding a powerful mate.

The calm lake water was rippled by the warm breeze, startling a flock of wild geese into flight.

……

By the time Rong Qi learned that his Qixi Bluebird had found a mate, the Qixi Bluebird had already brought the leader of the Dancing Swans to the farm to meet the parents.

Looking at the graceful dancing swan, and then at the Tanabata Bluebird leader beside her, who, though somewhat good-looking, was rather silly and clumsy.

Rong Qi couldn't understand why this king-level swan leader would take a liking to his own Qixi Bluebird.

Why should I? The cloud-like feathers of the Azure Bird with its pure aura feel so comfortable to touch.

It does feel quite comfortable to the touch.

Rong Qi's pillow and the cushions on the sofa were made from the feathers of the Qixi Bluebird from the farm.

The feel of it is truly exceptional.

But the Swan Dance probably doesn't need a pillow.
