It was just like any other day, or so I thought at least. The birds were chirping up on trees, clouds were rolling by the bright blue sky and Elves were dumpster diving in the alleyway.

Okay, one of those three didn't sound right...

I had a boring life once. Recently though, it has become less boring... to put it one way.

Finding a random Elf in the dumpster? Heh, must be a Monday.

A normal person would have walked by. A normal person would have ignored it.

I must be a pretty weird guy, then.

Now I have this Elf swearing her allegiance to me. What's next, vampires?

Better not jinx it.

My Servant Is An Elf Knight From Another World

It took a few seconds of sitting there in silence before I realized that I was waiting for the punchline. I stared at her - she looked so abashed saying it, yet at the same time so unashamed. Any moment I was expecting for the chuckles of 'I'm kidding'.

But there were no chuckles, there was no punchline. I asked, and she answered.

Something about how nonchalant she said it deeply unsettled me. I guess I was expecting remorse, a little admission of guilt for the most atrocious of wrongdoings ever committed.

Mom just continued smiling the same warm smile.

I wanted to press further, there's gotta be some self-bitterness, some regrets about the way she did things, right?

Guess my long hundred-yard stare was giving my thoughts away, for she suddenly up and spoke again.

"They're all true," She said, still ever as nonchalant. "Every story you've probably heard about me, every word of it."
