Even Though I was the Real Saint, I was Exiled—Which Means my Country is Over (WN)

... eh?

Spirit King?

Er!

"E, Eliane? I thought you had a hunch, but did you miss it?

Nigel is surprised that I accidentally shouted.

I mean... you're the Spirit King!?

That's what I wasn't expecting either.

"I knew it was the Spirit, but I didn't know it was the Spirit King...."

Honestly, I'm confused.

That's right.

From the moment I saw him, I noticed that he was clearly a different kind of magic.

The Spirit stands apart from other races and builds its own cultural zone.

That's why we humans rarely see them.

"... I didn't think I was a spirit either. If it's true, it's even more surprising, but I was more surprised by Elaine's reaction."

And Nigel laughed.

Su, sorry.

"You don't have to apologize. Has Elaine ever seen a spirit?

"Yes"

That was when I was a Virgin in the kingdom.

Suddenly Prince Claude said, "The Knights are going on an expedition, so follow me!" unilaterally.

This is a story I heard later, but apparently the Knights' healers were understaffed.

Nevertheless, some ambulance homes and adventurers have healers... but if you ask them, they have to pay you.

In other words, as a saint, I can work for free.

That's why I said that.

Well, it's fine.

Klaus, a handsome and gentle knight, was with him.

Besides, I was honestly glad to be of help to everyone.

At that time, I encountered a spirit as I passed through the forest.

It was a child's spirit, so it was small... but the magic I saw at that time was very similar to his -- Philip's.

"Well, I don't think it's impossible to be surprised. We spirits rarely appear in public. Your reaction is not impossible."

And Philip said without changing his expression.

"So... why did the Spirit King come to Lynch Giham? And in such a worn out state."

When Nigel asked, Philip opened his mouth.

"Actually, there was a problem in our village."

"Trouble?

"Yes, so if I was a good healer in the human world, I thought maybe it would solve it… and I was looking around for a city or village nearby."

I see.

"It's been so long... I finally found it"

So Philip turned to me.

"I didn't expect the Virgin to be in this city-- please, Virgin. Please help us."

and lowered his head on his knees.

It's like a knight swears allegiance to the queen.

"Hey, hey!

Crouch down in a hurry and fall back to the same line of sight as him.

"Raise your head. And... well, I'm not a Virgin!

"What are you saying? It can only be used by people who are protected by such an out-of-standard healing magic, goddess. Why do you lie like that?

Philip twisted his neck.

Spirits are a species that is much better at magic than humans.

That's why I can't help but notice who I am... at this rate, I'm not going to be able to flirt.

"... hah. Looks like you can't hide it. Yes, not now, but in other countries it was called" The Virgin. "

Are you sure?

"Still, why do you think I'm a saint? In my hometown, information about the Virgin should have basically been kept secret....."

The power of the Virgin becomes a great force for the nation if we change our minds.

It's not necessarily that other countries won't attack the Virgin's desire by passing on information poorly.

It was therefore forbidden to inadvertently divulge information about the Virgin.

But Philip...

"Once upon a time, we spirits were taken care of by the Virgin. I remember that time."

"Care for me....? By the way, how long ago was that?

"I think it was about 200 years ago."

Rather than the ancestors, it seemed to be about the Virgin a long time ago.

Well, the Virgin wasn't very free these days.

It's within expectations.

Nh...? Wait a minute.

"Philip, how old are you?

"Me? Well... I think he's been alive for about 300 years."

I knew it!

I'll tell you a story 200 years ago. Something's wrong! I had a hunch.

Spirits are different from us.

According to legend, the spirits who live long live for more than a thousand years.

Compared to that, it may not be that surprising... but something that startles me is surprising.

"You're way older than me!

"Well, maybe. What the hell is that?

Philip has a neat expression on his face.

Philip looked about five years younger than us and could have called him "the boy."

But when I hear that story, I kind of change my eyes.

Because he's a big senpai in life!

"Ha, ha, ha. Ever since Eliane came to Lynch Guiham, it's been bustling. I used to be a dragon...."

Nigel was smiling bitterly.

So, I was just pulling (...).

"... well, let's hear it again when we know who you are. What are you in trouble for?

When I asked, Philip started talking.
