As soon as I named her Lithium, I found her face strong. The lithium name is not only Lumiel, it is also known as a saint all over the world. Hearing it and being nervous is an unusual reaction. She knows something - so intuitively I decided to devour her.

"Lithium-sama...? I'm sorry, I don't know...."

"Any trivial clue is fine. Could you tell me? Please."

"I'm troubled. I don't know."

That said, I kept lowering my head many times, and she told me to hit the others with a troubled face. When the inquiry continued and several other villagers began to notice, her impatient appearance finally broke.

"I see. Okay, stop it!

"Well, can you tell me something?

"I'll tell you what I can teach you. Please come home for now. It's too popular here."

We slipped into a small house after her, turning away from the villagers' eyes.

"Ah... it was close. If there was more noise, people would have gathered from all over the village."

"I'm sorry, but I really wanted to know about Lithium-sama."

"Absolutely...."

I sat on the other side of the table, where there was only one at home, following honestly my advice to take a seat while saying bumps. Across the street is naturally the owner of this house, her. She looks a little relaxed, unlike the first impression she had, either because her eyes are gone.

"To tell you the truth, tea is not a good thing at home. It's hard to get water to the well."

"No problem, if you can just ask me what I want, I'll be right back. And if you'll excuse me, may I ask your name?

She scratched her head as she remembered that she was not famous.

"I am... ion. I don't know... it's the lithium you're looking for."

Progeny of lithium!? I haven't heard of him having a family, but it's not impossible. In fact, there are signs that he has visited the village many times, and if he thought it was not just to deepen friendship with friends, but to meet his wife and children, it may be natural to come many times.

"Lithium-sama's offspring...? I didn't think we'd meet."

"... please don't tell anyone. Because I believed you to be a hero, Flair. I don't have any special powers when it comes to descendants, and my ancestors 300 years ago are almost like others."

Is that a fact? Three hundred years later, you'll be replacing it many times, and it's easy to imagine that you were marrying, taking a son-in-law, or repeating the opposite. However, there must be a limited number of descendants remaining in this village. Because she keeps it a secret.

"So, what do you want to hear about lithium?

She doesn't try to hide her desire to complete the requirements quickly. I don't think it's a topic that you really want to be touched by lithium. While feeling sorry, Aeon started to brace himself with a difficult face when he told me the requirements for coming here.

"A tin wand... Hate, there's nothing like that in my house. I hear your ancestors were strange and left almost nothing to call property."

"Really... Have you heard the rumors?

"Even if it remains, it is likely that it will be sold by my age. It's not a wealthy house, it's a lithium legacy, and it would have sold at that price."

…………

I don't want to admit it, but Aeon is right. We've come this far and the clue is completely broken. Did you feel sorry for me when I dropped my shoulders openly? Aeon said this again with his head scratched.

"That's why... do you want to go to the grave? There is a family tomb in the backyard of the house. I think maybe lithium is sleeping there, so I might get a flash...."

Her caring was a little happier, and I realized that my mouth was dusty.

"That's right. Therefore, let me offer my prayers to the saint Lithium."

At the back of Aeon's house, there was an old, run-down tomb. It seems to have been taken care of, but it is an antique or a substitute that is likely to be thought to be just a stone unless told that it is a grave. I knelt before such a tomb and quietly began to offer my prayers to the God of Lumiel.

(Lumiel, God. Give blessings to Lithium-sama and Aeon's ancestors who will sleep here.)

The light of prayer overflowed my body and gently enveloped the tomb. Then, surprisingly, one of the bands broke apart from the light that wrapped the tomb and stretched to the wooden bar where the laundry had been dried. As soon as he touched the light, the stick began to exhale, filling the area with incredibly quiet air. Aeon's astonishing expression solidified in too many sights.

"This is..."

"No way... that stick was Lithium-sama's cane?

"Huh!? This stick!?

Reaching out to the fearful stick and gently exhaling magic, I fell into the illusion that my magic had swelled up many times at once.

"... no doubt. This is... this is the tin wand that Lithium-sama used. Aeon! Can I borrow this cane, please? I'll do whatever I can to thank you! Please, that's right!

"Wow! Hey, stop it! You can take it with you! There's a strange stick rolling around."

"I can't say that. This cane is certified as a sacred artifact when taken to the Grand Temple. We can't take it for free. That's right... let's do this."

In the meantime, I made a suggestion to Aeon. I gave Aeon all my gold coins and returned to the temple to pay him a formal thank you again. Thousands of gold coins would be worth less than a light estimate, and if the Pope had saved his life by using them, the value would be immeasurable. Aeon, who suddenly had so much money that he couldn't spend all his life, pulled his face to fear, nervousness, or surprise his luck again.
