The Villager Who Grew Up Drinking Elixir Fountain

Sheila panics to the loud voice given by Lupica, who looks like an adult.

My own long ears...... would a human being called an elf be that rare? Everyone who lives in Sheila's village is an elf.

Elves are said to be a species that is naturally loved and specializes in magic.

They used to see its existence a lot long time ago, but in recent years they have been unable to confirm its appearance at all. As Lupica said, the majority of people think they're gay.

But it's a legend without roots or leaves, spread by people who don't know much about elves.

The fact that a true elf is a spring water that I think is normal water and that I drank and used in my everyday life - in fact, was a legendary elixir - is fundamental.

At the edge of the world, a fountain of elixirs was springing up securely.

Near it was Sheila's nameless village where she was born and raised. An evolutionary appearance of a human being who grew up drinking to the full effect of an elixir.

That's the elf.

Although nowadays there is no literature describing it or anyone who knows its facts......

"I wonder if it's that rare?

"Unusual is not something that can be cleaned up in simple terms...... Sheila"

Sheila grins bitterly, touching her ears.

"But my ears are just long... nothing else has changed in particular, have they?

"Really? Speaking of elves, I've read in old literature that the... healing magic specialist. Could it be, too, Sheila?

"Uh..."

Best of all, Lupica asks.

My own people are hurt and it's hard, so if anyone can use healing magic, I can't help but ask for help.

Sheila smiles bitterly, but replies, "For once, I can use it..."

"I'm just not very good at healing magic in the village. So if the great Virgin is watching me, I think it would be better."

"Excuse me, I..."

"Never mind."

Sure...... just because it's an elf, the world's most powerful healing wizard! That's not what they think happened as Sheila, who doesn't like healing magic.

But Sheila thinks she heard it because she wanted to help her people, and she thought it was straw. Sheila is not a child enough to be offended by it.

That's why I wish I could use healing magic as well as my brothers.

- My sister, if her heart stops within five minutes, she'll be resuscitated with healing magic.

Sheila doesn't know what to do with it.

Of course, if you train in healing magic in earnest, it might be different from the story.

"But it's just amazing to be able to use healing magic.... Sheila, have you ever been to King's Capital?

"There isn't. I mean, I've never been out of a village before."

That's why I don't know anything, Sheila tells me honestly.

"Was it?... Then I think you should hide the elf's ears"

"Oh well... I'll keep my hood on"

If you look at Lupica's reaction right now, you can imagine as much as you shouldn't keep your ears out. It's cramped to wear a hood all the time, but I'd hate to be able to keep looking at it all the time, uncommonly.

Sheila wants to see the world and travel, and she doesn't want to be made a scene.

"Yes, or maybe a hat."

"Right. Urban...... When I go to Wang Du, I want cute clothes too!

"Sheila is adorable, so I think she has a lot of dresses to look good on. At that time, please let me coordinate with you, okay?

"Is that true? Glad!"

Sheila smiles happily at Lupica's suggestion.

Fashionable in the city, you can't be stuck with these words.

But to make it happen...... Sheila haunts her head wondering how much herb she should have.

To get someone who was good at making clothes in the village to make one, he had picked cotton from ingredients, hunted animals, and handed over large quantities of medicinal herbs to thank them. Perfectly self-sufficient.

Thirty bunches of herbs Sheila brought when she left the village.

I gave Claus a bunch, so the rest is twenty-nine bunches. I get anxious if that's enough....... Worst case scenario, I might need to have it traded for High Elixir.

Distressed, "It may be hard to get a lot......" Sheila mutters. Then Lupica, who heard it, smiles, "It's okay".

"Very few people can use healing magic. Many people make their adventures into a business for it, and the injured persist. I don't think you'll have any trouble going anywhere if it's a healing job"

"Really? Good! I'm a little nervous because I only have a few herbs."

Being able to work quickly is very important in life.

I don't think I'm going to have any trouble with dinner that day, and Sheila is horny. But contrary to Sheila like that, Lupica also speaks out in surprise.

"What!? Did you get such an important herb?!? And in exchange for the journey to Wangdu!?"

"Ah, yes..."

Sheila thinks it would be quite helpful if she could teach me the way in exchange for herbs. So I laugh bitterly even though I don't care that much.

It's just that this is deep in the woods.

Sheila doesn't really care, but she has a very high concentration of magic, and normally ready-to-use herbs are the other way around. Ordinary medicinal herbs are fine, but if you give humans a high magic concentration right away, they can also become poisonous if they are intolerant.

Of course, rare herbs grow.

But it's not something to use right away, it's the first time a professional human has processed it and turned it into a great potion or item.

Upon learning about Sheila's current situation, Lupica offered to add conditions, deciding that her promise to Claus was not enough.

"If you're going to King's Capital, you've never spent a lot of money. Let me pay for the herbs."

"You wouldn't have any trouble with a lot of money, would you?

- Money?

Listening to Lupica, Sheila tilts her neck.

That should be it, too. Her village has no other villages around it or, of course, no towns. For that reason, it is still the custom of barter… Lupica doesn't know that fact, and Sheila doesn't question it.

When Sheila goes to Wangdu, she's going to have herbs and clothes bartered.

I was just about to ask about the money, and Claus came out of the tent.

"Sheila, that herb... sounds like it was pretty good. Maria was grateful. Tell her I said hi."

"Really? Good for you."

Delighted with Claus's words, Sheila was relieved.

Herbs can be used in auxiliary roles, such as promoting healing magic restoration. Glad my herbs helped.

Next to Sheila, Lupica is also relieved.

"Are you still badly injured? I hope Alf's conscious at least."

"Oh. Whatever, it's the wound that was put on him when he defeated the Demon King. It won't be easy."

"Right..."

Even with medicinal herbs, Klarth tells me it's not a gentle wound that heals quickly.

Sheila shuts up about the serious two of them.

Will it be okay if I stay here forever? It's useless, so I think I should interrupt you by asking you the way that way.

- Or what's a demon king?

I thought that was what you were talking about.

Sheila's village is peaceful, and I never thought there was anything like such an evil parent.

Either way, this forest would be closer to the village. But I've never heard of a demon king before.

- If it's a wound done to you by the Demon King, it does seem hard to heal.

I can't imagine how terrible it is for Sheila.

Maybe the prototype of the body isn't fastened. You think you only have a heart left, or that your lower body is all blown up and your upper body is all you have?

Well, I can snort that even the Virgin just can't be cured right away.

Even my own sister may not be able to cure herself if she is so badly injured.

A village aunt would seem to cure it, but the villagers would have never been that seriously ill in the first place, so there would be no precedent.

Claus speaks brightly to Sheila, who has begun to worry seriously.

"Well, shall we have dinner? It's nighttime, so why don't you join Sheila? You can use your tent when you sleep."

"Oh no!? That would be so helpful!! Thanks ~!"

"Oops. I got some precious herbs, I don't mind this much."

The tent is safe with Lupica, isn't it? And, Claus speaks to me. Being alone at night was somewhat subtle, so Sheila decided to be sweet with her words.
