As soon as Sheila and Lupica climbed the castle, they were put through to a room managed by Maria. There's Maria and Alf, and he says, "I've been waiting for you," and Alf shows relief.

Apparently, I had a hard time dealing with a grumpy Maria.

"Oh, my goodness! What the hell are you saying!? I can't believe your father gives such authority to those who are doing spiritual research!

"As it is now... not very much, but you don't look like a Virgin"

Maria was sitting deep on the couch and gripping the cushion. That strength is enough to make Sheila worry that it won't tear her apart...

"But if that's how it goes, there's been some progress."

"Really?

Maria nods when Lupica asks. Sheila is surprised she figured something out already, and makes her chest bounce that she might see the spirits soon.

Sheila and Lupica sit on the couch across from Maria and brew tea from the teapot they had prepared.

"... eighty-nine, this country has something to do with the spirits disappearing without preserving themselves."

Hit and change from being grumpy, Maria tells with serious eyes.

Nevertheless, the details are not yet known.

"Sheila and I were going on a journey, but it doesn't look like we're going to make it."

"So, the cause is that it's better to explore it here, right?

"That's what's gonna happen."

Hearing Lupica's words, Maria nodded as Sheila continued.

And tell them what you've looked into.

"To your father, I've been trying to find out about the Spirit... quite alert. Just one word from the Spirit and I reacted."

"That's all you pay close attention to the Spirit."

Maria's father - the king said he showed vigilance - simply by talking about the Spirit, because the alleged extinct Spirit thing is seldom discussed.

At the same time, however, it has affirmed that it can be annoying.

"You're so vigilant, it's hard to break up on top. I wish I could get some conclusive evidence..."

Letia was forced to submit research material on the Spirit, but she said she didn't know anything about it since. Rather than that, it soon became clear that it was the material for submission available for the time being.

Sheila worries about "hmm," and asks what to do.

"What does that prove?

"Well... maybe the best thing to do is find out where the research facility is"

Apart from the research building with Letia, Maria believes that there will be it somewhere in this king's capital. Maybe I can't abandon the possibility that it's on the Royal Castle property.

"With me, there's nowhere I can't get in. But I don't even think it's going to be that easy to find... I don't know what to do."

"I hope someone is a nobleman who belongs to a Marian faction and knows it, but does it seem difficult?

"Right...... Although my faction is likely to be attached to your father."

I also thought I should hit a nobleman who seemed to know, but I can't say enough that the king's breath is not on me.

Poor exploration would, on the contrary, make the investigation harder.

"It seems difficult and there's not much I can do to help..."

Alf, who was listening to Lupica and Maria, smiles bitterly, adding the tea he was about to lose. Then I just stood up and prepared some sweets and put them on the table.

"Wow, looks delicious"

"It's my recommendation. It's delicious."

Maria laughs when she sees Sheila reaching right into the cookie.

"Looking at Sheila is soothing."

"Yeah, I guess?

"That's right. What bothers me is what makes me look stupid."

The tingling air soothes a little and Maria reaches for the cookies too. "Take a little break," I told him, and the sound of knocking on the door sounds indoors.

Encouraging you to come in, it was Maria's maid who came in.

"... oh, speaking of which, you had a job to do"

Maria gets up, saying she completely forgot.

"I'll take my seat off, but take your time."

Nodding at Maria's words, the three left decided to chat a little more.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Sheila, did you and Lupica take a tour of the King's Capital yesterday?

"Yes! It was fun to have cute clothes and delicious treats... full of shops that weren't in the village. Hey, Lupica."

When Alf asks, Sheila smiles and replies.

"When I just got out of the country, too, you were surprised at how many people there were. It was fun because there was so much fashionable stuff."

My buddies Sheila and Alf, who came out of the country, said, "Yes, yes!" He talks about the king's capital. It's as if there's something there.

Because Lupica is used to seeing it from a small place, she wonders what the two of them are talking about that way. At the same time, however, I do recall that villages away from the Wang capital are less entertaining.

"There is a wide variety of dishes, and I think that would be great!

"Oh, that could certainly be there. Snacks and just steaming potatoes."

"The potatoes are delicious too, but I wonder if there was a lot of fruit or something living in the woods. It was a classic."

The countryside, which basically makes use of the ingredients, and the Wang capital, which is creative and strives for more deliciousness. Of course, I've never gone beyond delicious, but Alf tells me he misses the taste of the countryside.

"Heh... I was just freshly seasoned, so I guess I'd still like to indulge in Wang Du's cuisine. And I want to shop."

New bags or pouches. Clothes get a little bulky, but it's also relatively easy to carry if it's a necklace or other ornament.

There are still a lot of things Sheila wants and places she wants to go.

"Then we have to settle the Spirit thing quickly."

"Yeah. Because it's best if the spirits are free to live"

Listen to Alf and nod honestly.

The spirits love nature and bring abundance.

Sheila is close to the Spirit, so I miss not being able to confirm its existence, and I want to help her as soon as she is suffering.

Quick, quick, my heart hurries.

"All right, I'll look into it to find evidence, too!

Putting a lot of effort into my fist, Sheila gets up. Of course it was Lupica who immediately raised the voice of the stop.

Sheila, it's dangerous to look into this alone.

If it's just Letia, it's still possible that everything in the upper echelons of the country is black.

Lupica is worried, worried and can't wait to see Sheila go there alone. It won't be long before the belly-black aristocrats tell you.

"In the meantime, you should leave the information to Lupica and Maria. Sheila will be here until we find the spirits."

Alf seems to share Lupica's opinion, and he's nodding.

"Oh, well, okay."

"Sometimes Sheila can only do Sheila, and now let's take it slow"

Nodding at Lupica's words, Sheila prayed for information to gather quickly.
