The Villager Who Grew Up Drinking Elixir Fountain

I'm going to meet the greatest person in this country now, but Sheila is restless in her dress. I get weirdly nervous, and I think with my heart I try to be careful not to run something crazy.

- It's not the same as meeting an aunt from the village, is it?

The biggest building Sheila has ever seen, the Royal Castle.

What the hell kind of person is that at the top of it? I hope you're nice, Sheila's alone.

Lupica laughs bitterly when she sees Sheila somewhere nervous, even though she was grinning earlier. My pretty face is all nervous. It's cute there again, but then Sheila's pathetic.

Lupica opens her mouth in an attempt to relieve tension somehow.

"Sheila, nothing in particular..."

"Oh no, isn't this Master Lupica who was crusaded by the Demon King!

"-!"

The arrow tip Lupica tried to speak to Sheila, she is spoken and mumbled to break in.

"Uh, who?

"What are you doing in a place like this... Chancellor"

Sheila, who was with her, sees someone who has spoken to her suddenly and properly. When Lupica stands forward to shelter Sheila, she returns the word, including her dislike.

He is the person who says Hertriet Mukaretitz and deposits his prime minister's position.

A man in his lower belly, in his fifties, who stretches his mustache and thinks it's fashionable to tie it with a bow. I support this country as a prime minister, but I'm only a disturbing father if I try to be Lupica.

Because of his status as Duke, there's no way he won't deal with you if he talks to you. Many people hate being powerful and troublesome.

"I am about to see with His Majesty. Being Prime Minister, aren't you the one who should be holding back by His Majesty's side?

Are you sure I'm selling oil here? - And Lupica asks far away. Lupica's tone was not the usual loose end, but Rin.

"I'm going under Your Majesty now, too. Oh, that's the lady who gave you precious herbs. Hmm."

"... stay away from Sheila. She's not used to these places."

Sheila unwittingly backs off as Hell Treat approaches us.

Hell Treat laughs when he sees how it goes. There was no product in his appearance, and his spine trembled.

"Nothing. I'm not thinking about eating it."

"Oh, boy," the Chancellor shrugs his shoulder.

And soon, that gaze sees Sheila again. It's like licking around. Besides, Sheila disgusts herself and takes another step backwards.

"Your daughter says her name is Sheila. What village are you from?

"Yes. Uh, the village... didn't have a particular name. Unlike here, it's a very small village..."

Sheila's village is about to enter the royal castle grounds completely intact. Not so long ago, this city, the royal castle was huge.

Hertrete opens her mouth further as she tells her that she will see.

"Right. In which neighborhood..."

"Prime Minister, come on. Your Majesty is waiting for you."

"Oh, you did. I'll come with you. Oh, yeah. In front of His Majesty, take that hair accessory because it covers his face big."

"-!"

Sheila's hair accessories are made large to hide the ears of the elves. But if you want to put it on, tell them to change it to something smaller and more elegant.

But when I take this hair accessory, Sheila's long ears get ripped off and she gets suspicious.

Of course, an elf is like a gag. You won't soon come to the conclusion that it's an elf, but the other guy is the king. They can't wait to find out about Sheila and find out about her to the village.

Seeing Sheila hold down her hair accessory for a long time, Hertrete laughs.

"Stop it. Sheila is scratched and wears a big hair accessory to hide."

"Scratch...? Is that where you're going?

"Oh, ha... yes"

Sheila snorts at Lupica's follow-up.

Seeing how it goes, Helltreet looks funny and fussy. And I looked at the maid who was holding back right behind Sheila and said, "Is that true?" Ask.

She thanked him on the spot and said yes.

"From the roots of Sheila's ears to her temples, there was a very large scratch.... No matter how much in front of His Majesty, Lady Sheila is a woman. I know very well what you want to hide."

The two men who helped Sheila Yu Ami are maids working for the Royal Castle. But they don't know that Hertrecht has Lupica among them.

"... right"

Seeing the interaction between the two, Sheila is heartily surprised.

Although it fits Lupica's story, even the maid didn't think it would fit Lupica's story.

Watching a maid speaking sadly is enough to make me think that I really have a scratch on my temple...

Maids who prioritized Lupica's orders.

- I thought this uncle was a better man.

I wonder, Sheila tilts her neck. I laugh hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

"It's time to go...... aren't we already waiting a long time for Your Majesty? Chancellor's Palace"

"... Sounds like it"

The two headed between their eyes as they stared at each other.

"... Something about a castle is tough"

Sheila, who shrugged so badly, goes after the rest.

◇ ◇ ◇

Between the sights, a deep red carpet was laid embroidered with golden thread. On both sides the knights refrain, and on the deepest altar there is a lavish chair and the king sits.

Looking around the room, the window of the wall gave a view of the Wang capital. It is as if the king tells him that he is the man this country needs, and he is looking down.

Before the king there are four men: Sheila, Lupica, Alf, and Claus. In Sheila's arms, Pal grows up and is about to fall asleep again.

Because she can't see Maria, Sheila tilts her neck wondering if she shouldn't be with her. Though I'm wondering if there's probably no problem because the Lupicas are as usual.

"Give me your face, heroes of this country"

Hearing the king's words, Sheila looks up quietly and looks forward.

Confirming that she is sitting in a chair, I see this is what a king is... Sheila uncommonly observes the appearance.

I knew right after seeing that I was a king with plenty of physique and didn't know to fight for myself. Vibrant ornaments are a luxury.

And beside it stood Maria in a beautiful white and peach dress.

- What do you mean?

Sheila opened her eyes wide and was surprised. But now no one will answer that question.

The king looking down on this one, he coughs one up and then starts talking.

"Brave Alf, you've crusaded the Demon King so well. It was daunting."

"Thank you."

The King, smiling satisfactorily, then goes on to give the Lupicas a word of neglect as well. And he stopped looking at Sheila and told her, "I hear you've given away your precious medicinal herbs," he said.

"Ha, ha!

I didn't think I was going to talk to myself suddenly, so I respond in a hurry. And soon, I recall, speaking of which, I was thankful.

"Eleonora told me that if it weren't for you, your life might have been in danger. What a pain in the ass the Demon King's wounds are."

"No......"

For a moment I wonder who Eleonora is, but I recall Maria's name. I guess I told the king about Sheila's work and told him to let her offer a reward.

"Yeah, I don't think we would have made it back without Sheila. I, the Virgin, have helped Sheila a lot with her herbs."

"Glad it helped"

Hearing Maria's words, Sheila smiles as if relieved.

The king raised his hand when he thought he was going to make it through this scene somehow. With that in mind, the clerk put the bag on the tray and came to Sheila.

It looks sloppy and heavy, definitely more than all the property Sheila has right now. Rather than that, I guess there's enough money stuck in Sheila's purse.

"This is a reward for that. Take it."

"I'll give you the cost of the herb separately later. This is how His Majesty felt about saving us in the woods. Don't worry, take it."

Exactly, I'm confused about receiving too much money than I expected. "You can have it," she smiled back as she glanced at Lupica for help.

"... is that okay? Uh, thank you."

Sheila bowed her head and thankfully received the reward.

Next, the Lupicas were awarded titles and prizes.

"Lupica Nordoval. I hear he trained his magic to its limits and was very good during the Demon King's Crusade. Give new titles and territories to such individuals."

"Thank you Happiness"

Lupica is a marquis maid, but it is her twin brother who carries on the trail. I was very happy with this reward because I thought I only had a future to marry somewhere.

I'd rather live as a wizard than as a laid-back aristocratic lady.

"You said Claus. Eleonora tells me you don't need a title or territory. I have prepared a gold coin as a reward, so I hope to receive it later"

"Thank you Happiness"

Claus doesn't want to be a bandit or anything like that. If it's shackled and you can't be free, you want to get a lot of money and just slip away.

There was also Maria's advice, and Claus was relieved without being pressed for a troublesome reward.

And finally, a reward for Alf, who has led the party as a brave man.

The king laughed at the garlic and proclaimed with a high voice.

"It's Alf the Brave. Let's praise him for his work and allow him to marry my daughter, the Second Princess."
