The Villager Who Grew Up Drinking Elixir Fountain

Small high hills with horizons, soft fresh green meadows.

There's a stream at your feet, and a big forest ahead of you that tracked it. The sky is clear with no clouds, and the little birds are flying with pleasure.

Stretch out all the way in the pompous and warm sun.

"Hmph! Hey, I'm finally on my journey!! We're all too attentive ~"

That face screaming as if freed from something is sunny and somewhere proud. This little girl travels from a village on the edge of the world and another hour is about to pass.

I walked the meadows with my nose crossed and the destination was the metropolis I had dreamed of.

Her name is Sheila.

Fluffy long hair with a water to white gradient. Peek in between, long ears. The blue eyes, which also look thin pink by the addition or subtraction of light, look huge and adorable.

The lightweight coat with an off-white hood is tied by turning the pink bow on the side to the back. The large shoulder bag is a Fenrill doll that the village brothers made to amuse me with on the clasp. It would be quite a lot of baggage for her at 152cm.

She is only fifteen years old, but her beliefs within are stronger than anyone else's.

I admire life in the city, and I also have the rush to leave the village.

"You have to go through those woods to get to the big city."

Sheila was walking in the meadow in a lunar mood, but stops perfectly. The problem starts here.

At the end of the peaceful meadow that followed the creek is a dark forest called the dim 'Evergreen Forest'.

The sunlight should have reached enough, but it is serious and mossy. Although there are many rare plants, there are not many dangerous plants such as cannibal plants in proportion to them.

Of course, strong demons live there.

Sheila also has some combat experience but is quite anxious because she is the weakest in the village. If you're alone, you can take it down somehow, and if there's nothing like it, you can run away... but if you're surrounded, it's hard.

- Well, can you handle it!

"I just think I'm scared because I'm timid, and I think I'm pretty strong too!!"

Positive is Sheila's original personality.

Sure, it may be a horrible forest, but it won't start unless you try to move on.

If it seems harder to get through the woods than you expected, you just have to ask a friendly spirit to help you. When it doesn't matter, I tell myself.

"Okay, good luck. - Hmm?

We're going into the woods!

That's what I thought, the arrow tip, it was at the forest entrance, and there was a slime that was dying now. Probably got hit by a strong demon or something.

"Wow, my God!!"

Sheila rushes over to the bottom of the slime to make sure she still has breath to breathe relief.

"But who has a harmless demon of slime... weak bully?

I tilt my neck really hard, but now I'm happy that it's not the time.

Kneeling in front of a slime that is soggy in water color, Sheila uses healing magic with her palms around.

"Healing"

Warm light engulfed the subject, and as he looked around, the slime recovered and became better.

"Be careful," he said, letting Slime escape to the meadow. Maybe there's a dangerous demon that's been attacking us in the woods.

"But that slime, it doesn't make you feel big?

Po, Po, Po. All right, look at the slime that disappeared into the meadow, and tilt your neck.

I always felt like the slime I was seeing was a little smaller. Of course, even slime is individual, so there are individual differences.

"Well, look, slime doesn't mean it's all the same size."

If it were exactly the same size, I'd be scared the other way around.

Well, I did a good thing about slime help - we're going into the Devil's Forest!

"Hey, before that..."

Wear the hood attached to the jacket.

"Okay, that's okay"

All this is a must not be forgotten, no matter what. Because there are so many bugs in the woods. If it falls from the top of a tree, it is not an accumulation.

As Sheila steps into the "Evergreen Forest," she is instantly struck by unpleasant signs.

Without a doubt, a strong presence dominates the devil in the meadows. Wow, you're gonna be okay, you're not gonna leave a bunch of demons, are you? What an idea comes to mind.

"No, even I've defeated demons in this forest! It's ok!!"

I know it's scary, but Sheila's village and these woods are close. Of course, it's not the first time I've been here.

Tell yourself it's all right and move on through the woods.

Then I walked for a while and when I did, I went into an area where the roots of the trees were flying out onto the ground. Because of the moss growing on the thick roots, it is not slippery and accumulative.

"Ugh!?"

Sheila was going to walk carefully, but she accidentally slipped to the front if she hadn't stepped on the root part. Only avoid getting your hands on your feet and falling into the ground.

"I was there..."

I got my hands on the ground and sheltered my body, so I got a scratch on my palm.

But it's so instantaneous that such a thing exists in Sheila's body that it doesn't amount to a single blink.

As if nothing had happened immediately, the wound that could have been done to the palm would disappear without leaving a mark.

Sheila's body is very self-healing thanks to Elixir, who mistakenly drank it for drinking water. For that reason, a few injuries will heal you in an instant.

"I was walking with caution..."

As a result, Sheila snaps at falling over her injuries.

"No, you can't if you feel weak!

If we don't show our intentions here, the woman will be abandoned.

Sheila stands up immediately and takes a step toward walking out of the woods again.

"Okay, for now, go ahead and think of something fun -"

Oh, crap!

"Uh-huh!? What!? Demons!? Enemies!?"

Suddenly, the grass in the direction I was going to go swayed and a strange voice came out. Then the shoulders also bounce magnificently and the upset is manifesting across Sheila's body.

- It's okay, I'm not scared!!

Even demons should be able to defeat them properly, and escape legs are pretty promising.

I was staring at the bush with a kick and sticking my hand forward so I could shoot magic at any moment - it was the man who was injured in the arm who showed up.

Both of them, I guess, were wary of each other.

After losing his words often, he opened his mouth.

"Humans...?

"Why are you here..."

From what I think, they were the same.

The man who showed up had two blocks of short hair with red mesh.

Though I think a forged body would be desirable - it was scratchy everywhere but the first arm in my eye. Gear is hurting by the way and makes you smell like you had some big fight.

He's about his late twenties and much taller than Sheila.

"So, who...?

- Oh, I'm suspicious!

I was relieved it wasn't a demon, but the situation gets worse when this human being is a bad guy. I guess I'm stronger than the demon alone because I can walk alone in the woods where strong demons live.

You decided Sheila was frightened, and the man returns the dagger he had in his hand to the sheath on his hips. "I'm not willing to argue," he said, raising his hands to mean he wouldn't attack.

"I'm Claus. It's not suspicious.... I needed some herbs and I was looking for them."

"What, herbs?

"My people are hurt. I can't move."

Hearing Claus say it, Sheila honestly thought it was hard. Because wounds that do not heal with self-healing can lead to death if left alone.

You're surprised Sheila thinks about it, and Claus speaks out his doubts.

"There shouldn't have been any cities or villages around here... what about you?

"I'm Sheila. I just started my journey out of the village to the city."

Just now.

"Sheila, right.... in a place like this?

Claus says it's not the kind of place to be a passage, but it's an extra favor. I know there is no village, so do you mean don't lie?

Nevertheless, if your buddy is really seriously ill, it won't be even if you're talking long.

- Herbs, you have them.

Besides, it is an extraordinarily fine herb grown in the village.

I was going to have it exchanged for something when I went to the city, so there are quite a few of them.

In addition, there are five high elixirs made in combination. This is a miracle potion that restores everything if any serious wounds, even if your arms are ripped off, if you're not even dead.

I can give you the herb, but I can give it to you for free because this is the only thing that precedes me.

In the first place, Sheila can also use healing magic on her people. If that's the case, there's no need to consume herbs either. If it's not such a bad injury, chances are it can be cured.

"No one can use healing magic on their people?

"No, I'm here. An extraordinary healing wizard is considered the best in the world."

"Oh, really? Awesome......"

Hearing Klarth's words, Sheila was honestly surprised.

I wonder how much the best healing wizard in this world is. I wonder if resuscitation is possible, not only for the areas and organs of the body that are gone, but also for about a week after death.

- There are amazing people in the world.

But then, Sheila, healing magic won't help.

Perhaps you need medicinal herbs to aid in promoting healing magic restoration, etc. Sheila's fine herbs will help.

- I wish I could have helped you with my healing magic...

Unfortunately, Sheila's healing magic skills... are not that good. Everyone in the village also connects their chopped arms, but Sheila cannot be cured unless she is at least connected by a piece of skin.

Except for my wounds, but somehow Sheila wasn't very good at healing magic.

- So you all opposed going on a journey.

Sheila herself is not weak, but her presence is overwhelmingly strong in other villagers.

Nonetheless, it would be a prerequisite to know what to do with the herb with my buddies who seem to have been injured now.

I wonder what's wrong and flash right away.

"Hey."

"Hmm?"

"If it's a herb, I have it. I can give it to you, but instead... why don't you show me the way to the city?

".................. I knew you were lost"

"No."

Say no.

In Sheila's village, there was no map.

It is a village where travelers through the woods accidentally arrive, at a rate of about one in 100 years. There is now because the information obtained from those people has allowed them to know that there is a large city ahead of them through the woods.

That's why I was never lost.

Because I didn't originally know the way...
