The Villager Who Grew Up Drinking Elixir Fountain

"Oh, I shouldn't... I don't know the way anymore"

While Lupica and the others were gathering information, Sheila decided to tour the King's Capital by herself... however, it is very large compared to the village.

By accident, I don't know where I am anymore.

"But well, I know the direction of Lupica's house, so I guess it's okay"

Especially the large Royal Castle, which can be seen anywhere.

Sheila's hands are blocked by a paper bag she shopped with. Lovely groceries and a food system. I'm going to eat with Lupica later, so there's a lot there.

Walking down a narrow alley, it becomes less popular. Sheila tried to turn back that it didn't seem this way, and I felt uncomfortable.

But she didn't know what it was, and Sheila decided to keep walking.

There are no shops or anything else in the alley lined with wooden old buildings, rather than luxurious mansions like Lupica's mansion.

Some of the doors were open and widened, so I peeked inside, but there's no one there.

- Doesn't anyone live there?

"If the Lupicas were here, I'd know what kind of place this is."

In the village of Sheila, there is no empty house. Because even if people no longer live, they use it for another purpose, such as warehousing. Alternatively, houses that people don't live in will be demolished to hurt.

Weeds grow unconstructively from the ground, completely different from the vibrant atmosphere of the boulevard.

"There's a place like this in Wangdu too..."

Now the Spirit is going to get away with it, too, I don't know.

The brick wall refused Sheila's whereabouts, though she was walking wondering where she was missing at the end of the road.

"No way!? Oh, that's why no one was walking..."

If there's no way ahead, you don't have to go through here.

Going back the way I came is kind of a billion-dollar robbery. Sheila, who thought so, decided to use the wind magic softly after making sure there were no people around.

It's not spiritual magic that helps spirits, it's normal wind magic that uses your magic.

"Now if you jump over the wall and go to the other side, ok"

I had the wind in such a light mood, but the results go in an unexpected direction.

At the same time Sheila's body floated, the wind pressure caused some bricks to fall off the wall. He hurries when he breaks it, and picks up the brick he drops right away.

"... that?

I was about to put a brick on the wall and realized that the wall was strange. It was made like a cavity inside, and there was a staircase down the basement.

Sheila peeks inside with interest because it was made to be hidden. With the wind blowing, the air flow and so on seems fine.

"It's connected somewhere... right?

The stairs that are about to lead down are helical and I can't see ahead. Magically creating the light, Sheila decided to try to come down.

When I got down to the basement for about three floors, I went out into the aisle.

The lights are lit by the lamps installed on the walls, but they are stone built and dim. It's a bitter atmosphere and I don't think I really want to move on.

"Underground in the city...... right? I don't know where it is."

The stairs that came down were somewhere dusty noticeable as to whether they were not usually used. However, the stone aisle at the end of the stairs seems to be cleaned regularly.

"Unlike the village, there are houses in the basement too... or something?

Indeed, food and the like created a space in the basement just a little bit and saved it there. Since this is all the people in the Wang capital, its size will also be huge.

"... that's not true"

That's right, Sheila, too, bitterly laughs that her current thoughts were unreal.

And in retrospect, the Spirit research facility that Lupica and the others were talking about. I thought maybe this was the place.

"'Cause you didn't have a door at the entrance"

That's because people don't want to find it.

Therefore, Sheila's inquiry tells. Ahead, there's something absolutely nasty...!!

"I'm sorry to leave you to the Lupicas alone."

They put me in the carriage, taught me how to spend my money, and even thanked me for the medicinal herbs. More importantly, Lupica welcomed Sheila warmly by saying she was a friend.

"All right, let's do our best to move on"

The long corridors that move forward are of seemingly obscure construction, but have slopes. Little by little, it looks like it's heading down.

Moving on for about 20 minutes, the aisle was about twice as wide. Simple cobblestones also turn into beautiful floors, with off-white wallpapers.

The atmosphere is better than being in the city...

"It's like a castle...... Could it be that I walked quite a bit, so I came under the castle?

If so, it raises the possibility of being a research facility for the Spirit. Fellows like Letia, basically because they do research in the Royal Castle.

If you can get in and out of the city or the royal castle, it will be easy to do research.

- And yet, no one.

I wondered if it was an unused place, but it wouldn't be there because it's being taken care of.

As I walked away looking at the scenery, which was no different, I finally heard people talking from the end of the bend.

"!... Looks like someone's here"

Stopping the movement perfectly, Sheila peeks into the tip of the bend. It was a hall about fifty metres wide and had a human in white.

Soon I realize it's the same as what Letia wore. Again, this is where I study spirits, and I guess I have some clue.

Sheila seems to have arrived at the evidence.

Continuing the observation, it turns out that the number of people in white is thirty all the time.

The central floor is depicted with demonic squares, emitting a pale light. I can see at a glance that it's something that's starting.

There are several devices lined up on the wall about two meters with suspicious water, but from Sheila's position we don't know what that is.

- What are you doing?

As I stare, I see a noose of shadow in the device with water. Could it be that even fish are swimming? As I rode out my body to take a closer look, I accidentally caught sight of a researcher in white.

I've taken a high-pressure gaze and attitude and stared at Sheila.

"Who!?"

"Pi!?"

- They found me!!

Sheila is in a hurry for an unexpected catastrophe.

"This is a place you can't get in without permission. I haven't even heard from anyone in particular. Name your first name!!"

"Duh, what am I gonna do..."

Should we just keep changing directions and drive back the way we came? Think about that, but the status quo didn't let me.

"Huh?"

Clearly, I see it.

It wasn't a fish that was put in a mysterious device like water.

"Silf's family?

Happily, Sheila turns her attention to all the devices.

Captured in the water are the families of the Spirit. They are cute spirits who usually spend time in forests and other places where nature is abundant, with no harm or harm.

"Undine also has Salamander and Gnome's family...!! Lying, the Spirit's family in this land... are you saying we're catching them here?

Each serves Silf, Undine, Salamander and Gnome, spirits above their own. My family has always been good to my husband and my good friend Sheila.

The children are now imprisoned in suspicious devices.

I cry out to Sheila, who speaks out that she doesn't believe me, that those in white clothes don't believe me either.

"How did I know these guys were spirits!? Who are you, I won't let you tell me you have permission to visit here!!"

"Get him right away!!"

"Give me the power of Norm, Detention!

"- Huh!?"

The men in white raised their voices, and one of them exercised spiritual magic. Once, a grieving voice is raised from the family of Gnome who was put in the device.

She finds herself being forced to suck off her powers, and Sheila bites off her lips.

- What do I do!?

Avoid the man's spiritual magic, it is probably possible to escape. But then it would mean abandoning the spiritual families in front of us.

Will you be able to do that to Sheila - no.

I dare to choose to be caught to help the spiritual families that are caught. By the man's activated spiritual magic, the ground rose and soil captured Sheila's feet.

"This is another adorable young lady.... That's a face you don't see?

…………

A dark-haired man in white comes out in public and looks at this one with surprise. Ask other researchers if they know Sheila, but no one here knows Sheila.

"Release the Spirit's family!

Sheila also stares at the loser and the man and roughs up his voice, but the man is calm just because he squeezes his eyes uncomfortably. They grab my jaw and ask me to interrogate them.

"What's your name? Why did you come here? No way, you wouldn't say that crap about being lost, etc.

…………

"Answer the question, intruder"

"Then you are the ones who should free the family of the Spirit who has done nothing!?"

"I won't tolerate the answer."

To say it the way we put ourselves up on the shelf, it comes with a cock.

- I can't believe these people are making the spirits good.

I tried to get caught for now, but I didn't even think about what to do.

I wanted to help the Spirit's family, but I don't know what that device looks like in the first place, so I don't know how I can help.

- Should I break it?

If so, it's quick, but I don't know what will happen to the spindle device. I want to avoid doing things that are uncertain and hurting the spiritual families.

I think about it and look at Sheila pushing silently, and the guy pounds his tongue out loud.

"Hmm. Keep this little girl in jail for now"
