The Villager Who Grew Up Drinking Elixir Fountain

Returning to the inn room, Lupica and Maria were shocked by what was happening at the weapons store and fell preoccupied. No way, we didn't even think that humans were suffering from spirits.

And if that's true, it has to be resolved.

When it was an operational meeting, we all gathered in Alf's room.

Explaining the Spirit to Alf and Claus as well, he was terribly surprised: "Isn't it extinct? shouted."

Klarth puts his arms together, but thinks.

"But man is taking magic from the Spirit? Is that possible?

"Even I don't want to think about it. But that's what the Spirit told me. I don't think you're lying."

Everyone does snort at Maria's words.

Then Lupica raises her hand and makes suggestions about the future.

"I will continue my journey to find out the cause. Sheila, can I join you on your journey...?

Maria, who thinks she can't open it, and Lupica, who says she will accompany Sheila on her journey to find clues. We both care about the Spirit, and we're about to act.

"Sure, fine! But I don't have any idea, either, do I?

"Thank you. The main information will be collected by Maria, mainly in the Wang capital. I want to find out on my own feet."

"If that's the case"

I was going to continue my journey alone, but it was a trip for two with Lupica.

Maria also went with him. Although she is looking at this one, she says that she will provide support in the Wang capital because it cannot move immediately.

And stay, two men - Alf and Claus.

"Of course, I'm coming too!

"I don't like that. It was just a promise to follow the Demon King's crusade."

The two opinions overlapped the opposite.

"Claus, what do you say to a spiritual crisis? Spirit, Spirit! You'd admire that, wouldn't you?

"Hey, I can't believe I admire you! You know, Alf, I've got a lot to do, too!

"... ok. It was a promise until we defeated the Demon King..."

Claus sighs at Alf dropping his shoulder.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Sheila doesn't know why, and turns her gaze to Lupica, who is next door to her, wondering what the hell is going on.

"Oh, Mr. Sheila doesn't know, does she? Claus was originally a bandit. They attacked us, and Alf paid us back."

"Heh..."

"Instead of missing our people, Claus was supposed to help us," continued Lupica, chuckling.

I thought it was a friendly party, but I never thought there was a reason for that. Sheila laughs bitterly that the world doesn't know.

And after all, I thought the hero of the gaga, the brave man, had an overwhelming strength.

Maria opens her mouth when she sees Alf burning her willingness to help the Spirit.

"I think it's hard for Alf, too."

"Oh, me too?

"Because you are a brave man. Once you get to King's Landing, you won't get out that easily.... and I'm also concerned that we are human beings. When Alf moves, something stands out"

Maria tells me you might want to see how things go now.

"If there really is a human mastermind... I'd be relieved to think so. I wonder if Alf could join me in gathering information in the King's capital."

"... right, okay. I'll see how it goes for a while."

"Yes."

For one thing, the story comes together and I take a breath.

"It's just hard not to have any clue. Should we break up here, or should we all go to Wang Du once?

"It was a long time ago that we got into this situation, although we don't know how serious it is in itself. If you think about it, you might want to set up a system in the King's Capital first."

Seeing Lupica and Maria decide to go to the King's Capital, Sheila immediately raises her hand.

"Wang Du! I want to go!!"

Of course, you're welcome.

Maria accepts, then makes additional suggestions.

"I'd like to introduce you to someone doing spiritual research. Maybe we can get some clues."

"Speaking of which, you had a research building studying spirits. Spirit research wasn't very noticeable, but any results?

An institution exists that studies spirits on the property of the Wang capital, the royal castle. But it's a study of supposedly extinct spirits, so they're not really getting much interest from people.

Until now, no surprising research results have been published.

"I don't see any results. But you might have a clue, right?

"That's right... if you have any information, that's enough"

Not many humans are studying the supposedly extinct Spirit. Moreover, because there are many unusual people, few people start new research.

I think Sheila's reliable when she sees the two of us moving on with a great deal of clapping.

"Thanks, guys. I couldn't figure out how to do this alone."

Rather, it is quite possible that he continued his journey without thinking about it.

Sheila says thanks again, smiling.

"It's okay. If there are any anomalies in this world, no… I want to make sure I understand them."

"That's right. I want to see the Spirit, too."

Alf laughed as long as he was going to get on the big boat without worrying. And then I stare at Sheila with a look of intrigue.

"But Maria and Lupica met the Spirit, didn't they? Nice, I envy you. I want to see you too, but you can't do it anymore?

"Huh? Um, because he says he doesn't have magic and can't keep himself... it might be pathetic to summon him and let him use his powers"

"So is that, I'm sorry"

Of course I have a desire to let you see Alf, but I don't know what's going on with the spiritual situation, so it wouldn't be a good idea to summon him mumblingly.

Then Alf laughs if he doesn't work hard to meet the Spirit.

"In the meantime, that's settled. Rest today and hurry to King's Capital tomorrow."

"Okay."

When dissolved in Maria's words, Lupica stands up and takes Sheila's hand.

"Me and Sheila are in the same room, this is Alf and Claus. Maria's arranging the deepest room, so use it."

"What, am I the only one?

"That's right. Or isn't Maria always alone"

You don't like sleeping with other people, do you? And, Lupica sees Maria.

"We were all alone before this. I don't think it's good to be with Sheila just for Lupica."

"Because it's convenient for the room."

Stay out of it, or Maria will swell.

But without worrying about it, Lupica takes Sheila's hand and heads to the door.

"Good night, then, because tomorrow is early"

That's what I told him, and Lupica left the room with Sheila.

◇ ◇ ◇

Finish your bedtime routine and dive into each of the two prepared beds.

It's dark because the lights are off, but I can tell by the signs that the person is awake. Sheila has a small voice and calls out Lupica's name.

"... what's wrong?

"Um, Maria... are you glad? Not the room we're in."

"Oh, is that what you mean? It's okay. And Maria says," Well, I know you've got a lot to think about, so it's more comfortable in a single room. "

You don't have to worry, Lupica tells you.

"More than that, Mr. Sheila"

"Yes?"

"Thank you for allowing me to accompany you on your journey"

"I'm the one," Sheila laughs back, too, to Lupica, who tells her gladly.

"So, the..."

The voice of Lupica that seems difficult to say.

And the bed makes a squeaky noise. I soon found out that Lupica was up and out of bed.

I wonder what happened to Sheila, just wake up her upper body and look at Lupica.

"Mr. Lupica?

"Um, uh..."

Lupica's cheeks, which are slightly red.

Sheila tilts her neck in that gesture that illuminates her.

"If you don't mind, what... Sheila and I, can I call you? I'm glad you called me Lupica."

Sheila brightens her face and smiles at the offer. I've been calling you, so I thought we had some distance even though we were close.

"Of course, Lupica!

"Thank you, Sheila"

I wanted to get along better, and Lupica tells me as she illuminates. I thought Sheila would be happy to get along, too, so I nod yeah to that word.

"Oh, that! Can I sleep with you?

"Yeah!"

"This is the first time I've slept with someone this way. Friends like Sheila have never been there before..."

"If it's okay with me, you're always welcome."

Lupica dives into Sheila's futon and lays down with her.

"Thank you. Find out what happened to the Spirit."

"Yeah. I hope the spirits are all free soon"

"I'd like to meet a lot of spirits, too."

Lupica tells her as she illuminates that meeting the Spirit was a dream of a small place.

"It's a very nice dream! When you're settled, we'll find Rupica's Summoning Stone Shards."

"Huh? Can I have one, too?

"Of course."

Sheila's words made Lupica feel hot. I thought it would be unrelated to me for the rest of my life, because I was told that I would be able to use the power of the spirits that are becoming legendary beings.

"... thrilled, not likely to creep"

"Oh, my goodness."

The two fell asleep thinking that the journey ahead was going to be more fun.
