Definitely feeling some ‘Adventurer envy” from Keilia here! Yunn’s truthful response COULD have been delivered with a little racial pride, in the sense of “We have an adventurer with us now; do you high elves have one? Nnooooo….?” But instead Yunn seems more concerned with Keilia’s freaking out – probably for “keeping the peace” reasons. I suspect Yunn may be overly used to needing to be defensive where the high elves are concerned, and isn’t used to actually having a ‘negotiating advantage’ on her side!
As for this ‘oracle’, the obvious guess would be Correndel followed through in telling his followers to “Stop being such prudes” – and if that message is delivered without any further context it won’t be clear what it MEANS, so Keilia may not believe Yunn’s answer… or that Correndel actually appeared where Yunn could talk to him, which would probably make this priestess even MORE jealous! Feels like he rarely shows up in person, and Keilia would be offended he talked to a dark elf instead of HER!
… Yeah it really is easy to see why this snooty priestess is a ‘fun’ character to draw! Her expressions are all over the place, lots of emotion shifts in this one page. Her personality and position makes it easy to dislike her and want to see her humbled in entertaining ways. And of course the ‘generous proportions’ that I can imagine she says are “a sign of the sun’s favor” or something like that… yeah, she’s fun. I think it’ll be interesting to see how her karma plays out here 😀
I don’t think it’s Adventurer Envy. I think it’s fear, along the lines of “Oh fuck someone who can actually punch us for acting the way we did towards the dark elves, actually has a spine, is also a dark elf and is DANGEROUS is actually HERE better shut up on that for a while.”
Like if a guy is racist towards asians for several months only for Jackie Chan to suddenly show up in their town.
She is so repressed. She is “disrupted” by their worship and banned it as she couldn’t participate.

Maybe an oracle along the lines of “Stop ticking off my superior’s people and trying to take over, you idiots!” ?
Psst. You put an extra l in temple in panel 3
ah yes, telmple
Our high elf priestess seems about 1/8th tsun and 7/8ths dere at this point and the Ojou ringlets aren’t helping that appearance at ALL. I get the sneaking suspicion that she’s about to the point where the dark elves would about get to “would you like to joi-” before she interrupted by shouting yes and then babbling excuses to try to mask her enthusiasm.
That or the oracle somehow got so horribly garbled that she thinks she’s supposed to sleep with said dark elf adventurer and is thrown by being told to be intimate with someone she’s never met. I guess time will tell what comes when it comes but this is certainly an interesting change of pace from the rather combat heavy content of the previous arc.
