- The ancient species say that the identity of the autologous disease we have been pursuing is the "Demon King".

I didn't even think about it, and I still honestly don't believe it when I was asked, but Mr. Leanhardt and the others seem convinced.

"Are you saying that autopsy was a disease that was caused by the Demon King being parasitic? That the Demon King was causing such symptoms by taking and amplifying magic from the parasitic humans?

I accidentally stuffed up with Mr. Leanhardt and was asking him quickly. Mr. Leanhardt doesn't change his expression. He just snorts slowly.

"We've been looking for a cure for autopsy, too. That's why I've been learning how to make things right."

So once the words were cut, Mr. Leanhardt glanced at the back door where the Iris and the others had left. Am I wary that they will not return?

"Iris was also going to be one of the investigators looking for a cure... but after we caught our eye on your presence, he was quickly offered an apprenticeship as a Wang chef."

It's a thin thought, but Iris let the people of Lustu dive in to get close to me, so to speak, like investigators. But I am not sure when the people of Lustu laid eyes on me, but it was only recently - later in the first year of apprenticeship - that I discovered the drinking water of the Spirit. Then it would take the form of a really rapid,

As for Iris being in charge of me, did coincidence or any power work? It is natural to think of it as the latter, but is there also a breathtaking of the people of Lustu within the royal castle?

"We have all the good conditions now. There is you who have found the drinking water of the Spirit, and the people of Lustu are also in the king's capital as concoctors, and even Elvira, the patient, is staying in the king's capital. There will be no way to miss this great opportunity."

I nod small at Mr. Leanhardt's words. It must have been a rush not to miss this timing that brought me here today by Iris.

Perhaps the people of Lustu are trying to seal the Demon King again before he is resurrected.

Mr. Leanhardt stands up and stands beside me. And I bowed my head big.

"I'd like to ask you to cooperate, Laura Sense. of this world, for the future."

"Yes, of course."

There is no reason to say no. Rather, it is comforting to me that I can work with the people of Lustu.

Nodding back loudly, Mr. Leenhardt softened his sharp eyes slightly.

Autocracy - how do you drive the Demon King out of Elvira's body and seal it again?

At first, it was just that the ultimate goal was to cure the disease so that Elvira could accompany Lukersch on his journey. I had no idea that exorcising the Demon King would turn itself into a goal.

- Unexpectedly, the door at the back door was knocked. I wonder, a glimpse of Iris glancing at me from between the doors.

"Are we done talking?

Seeing from her words, Iris was suddenly taking Mr. Basilio outside to buy time.

I look back at Mr Leanhardt. He seeped a bitter smile in his face, then glanced at both neighbors, Mr. Sieg and Mr. Leon.

Mr. Leon approached Iris and seemed to have some kind of whispering conversation. But at the next moment, the door at the back door opens, and Mr. Basilio walks into the room as well.

Meanwhile, Mr. Sieg disappeared into the kitchen, trying to prepare even for tea. That's a mistake.

"See you tomorrow for more information."

In my ear he shrugged so.

Looks like that's it for now. That's how I understood it and gave up thinking about autopsy once.

There's not much we know yet. You won't have to waste your mind thinking about this based on less information.

From then on, the training, which was the original aim, was started. Using the medicinal herbs Iris and Mr. Basilio have taken for me, I made preparations in a different conditioning room.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

"I'm not kidding, Iris. You don't have to confront conditioning in the first place."

"Mnh! Shigeru doesn't look serious, but the contents are serious."

"Ah?

Nah, I had a lively repetition of the formula, and the sun quickly went down. Dinner will be a treat as it is, and we will take our time in the room where you prepare it.

I spent a lot of quiet time this afternoon, which makes me think I might have even dreamed about the truth about autopsy that was revealed before I stuck around.

The demon king that he is parasitizing into Elvira's body now and resting his body. The drinking water of the Spirit seems to work for the Demon King, but it doesn't make sense if he doesn't leave Elvira's body where he weakened it and suppressed the symptoms of autopsy.

I was a little distracted by the fact that I had to think about it from a completely different point of view.

"Laura, are you there?

Suddenly, the door to the room was knocked. Along with that, what I heard from across the door was the voice of Iris as a glimpse of what was going on here.

"Iris? What's wrong?

Open the door. Then from that gap Iris slipped himself into the bed and sat down vigorously as he did. I thought,

"... I'm sorry, I fooled you."

Iris leaned down and said so in a trembling voice.

I rush over to the bed where Iris sat down. And I knelt down and peered into her face from below.

I'm not crying. You just put up with crying, there was a lot of force between your eyebrows, and it was a strong overall look.

"Why? You don't think I was fooled, do you?

"But I aspired to apprentice King's chef because I came into contact with Laura... and of course, I thought the chef's knowledge would help..."

Reminds me of Iris' words, speaking of which, and those of Mr. Leanhardt during the day. She was sent by the people of Lustu to contact me, like an investigator. They're feeling a burden about that.

That used to bother me, too. No, I still make small sawdusts on my chest from time to time. I was wondering if you were glad you wanted to be a King's cook for a reason like this - a reason you wanted to leave your hometown village, a reason of your own.

I slowly opened my mouth to tell Iris.

"I guess each person who aspires to an apprenticeship of the genus Wang has a variety of reasons and circumstances. Because I was the first one to leave the village."

It's the same with me that there's no big reason. Of course, the desire to save people all over the world is great, but it doesn't change anything just by the desire.

It's not the past that counts. It is now and the future ahead.

"I'm glad you'll keep up the good work. So I need you to help Iris."

Iris looks up to my words all the time. And I gazed gladly, and nodded loudly.

"Yeah! I mean Elvira, too, because I want to help"

To Iris' words, she remembers being close to Elvira. In contact with her, who actually suffers from autopsy, I guess I had something to think about.

Approaching me may have been my first aim, but now Iris does want to save Elvira. That's everything.

"Let's work together."

Iris laughs even deeper. And with that look on his face, he hugged me. Try to take the small, warm body you've been storming and hug it back.

I guess I could spit out everything I've been hiding and relieve myself as Iris, gradually losing power from her body. I've called several times to say that I don't have trouble sleeping here, but that call...

"Iris? Did you fall asleep?

Iris was resting in a small sleep.

I don't know what to do. I look up at the ceiling. Carry Sleeping Iris to his room, or you two will just go to sleep like this.

With warm Iris holding me, gradually I was starting to get attacked by sleepers too. Then, more and more, the willingness to carry Iris to his room became weaker -

Enough, I grabbed Iris and stuck him in bed. And hold Iris back,

"Good night."

Yes, I whispered in a small voice.

and the loose look on Iris's face was just loving.
