[The Lord of the Rings] The First Elf Baby in Middle-earth, Frieren

Upcoming story: [Western Crossover] Politely Declining a Walking Lightbulb as My Night Patrol Buddy. Please add it to your collection, lovely readers.

After helping an old woman in the village clean the statue of a hero once again, Frieren receives “the magic to help others” and “the magic to translate languages” as payment.

The “magic to help others” is said to guide a mage to people in need. And so, Frieren is dragged along by her staff across the sea, over the mountains, across the universe

“It’s so dark! I’m scared!”

Why is it as dark as the inside of a mimic chest?!

Why hasn’t anyone come to rescue me yet?!

Looks like she’ll just have to blast her way out of the mimic

The white-haired elf opens her eyes, ready to cast a spell, and suddenly finds herself lying on a sunny lawn, facing a whole group of tall, handsome elves! They even live in a house more luxurious than the royal palace! Since when did the elf village become like this?

An elf village… shouldn’t be a village?

Frieren tries to communicate. “Has the elf village been rebuilt?”

Loading voice pack… loading failed…

She can’t understand a word these very tall members of her own race are saying.

Frieren tries speaking in Ancient Elvish. “Has the elf village been rebuilt?”

Voice pack loading failed again!

She still can’t understand a word they’re saying.

Wait, the old woman gave her “the magic to translate” as payment, didn’t she?

Frieren: =v=

Now she can finally understand what they’re saying.

Frieren: “May I ask if this is the rebuilt elf village?”

Elrond: “Village?”

What about Imladris looks like a village?

How could elves ever be associated with the word “village”?

Frieren is confused. Frieren tries to stand up, and, oh no, someone has picked her up!

They must have thought she was an elf baby who couldn’t walk because she’d been lying down the whole time.

Wow, it feels great to be praised just for getting dressed by myself.

Wow, the elves here are so friendly.

Wow… the village chief seems to be someone very influential… Hang on, Himmel and Eisen almost got executed for speaking rudely to the king. What punishment will an adult elf like me get for pretending to be an elf baby in front of the lord…?

Frieren trembles. She hasn’t completed “the magic to help others” yet. She can’t get executed for deceiving the lord!

They mustn’t find out she’s over a thousand years old…

They absolutely mustn’t find out!

Finally, on the day of the Council of the Ring, Frieren bravely steps forward, repeating Himmel’s name in her heart.

“If that’s the case, I want to join the Fellowship too.”

If helping these people destroy the Ring counts as completing “the magic to help others,” then she’ll be done! And leaving Rivendell means she won’t have to worry about being executed for deceiving the lord!

Frieren thinks happily.

But the white-bearded old wizard says the nine members of the Fellowship correspond to the nine Ringwraiths, and tells her to stay in Rivendell.

That’s fine! Isn’t destroying the Ring also about defeating the great enemy of darkness? And the great enemy is just the Demon King, right?

Frieren: “Then I’ll go kill Sauron, and you can destroy the Ring.”

That way, she can help someone and avoid revealing that she’s over a thousand years old. She really is clever!
