The Villager Who Grew Up Drinking Elixir Fountain

33: the completely destroyed royal castle

You were supposed to be underground, but the bright light illuminates Sheila.

He thought it was midnight, but the morning sun was up at some point. Apparently, a lot more time had passed than I thought.

Why is there a morning sun in the basement? You'd think so.

The answer is simple. Because the royal castle has been completely destroyed.

The royal castle, arguably the symbol of the king's capital, overnight turned into a pile of rubble. Sheila and the four lower spirits will be the only ones standing flat in places like further ground.

"... it's too much, Silf"

"It's refreshing!"

Sheila herself is intact because Undine bounded the water, but the area is full of dead bodies. I wonder how many of them are alive, so much so that their bodies tremble.

And soon, I look around to see if the Lupicas are cheap or not.

It's not just Lupica, is Maria, Alf, and Klaus safe? Maybe it's buried under the rubble.

If that is the case, we must rescue them immediately.

- But I told him to run, so he must be safe.

"Lupica -! Where are you -!?"

Set aside the surrounding situation and decide to look for Lupica first. I hope you stay with the Marias...... I run around in the rubble thinking so.

"I wonder where."

The place, which was between the thrones, looked unbroken, with large columns protruding and windowpanes scattered in shatters.

When I walk, I step on a piece of glass, so there is a noise.

"Lupi - Huh!!"

I was just about to call her by name again, and Sheila hacks into the stuff she's seen.

That's Letia, who, under the magic of Silf and Salamander, has become innocuous to see and to see. His face was half burnt and he wasn't breathing.

I didn't want to see it, I thought so but...... it's too late.

"... I am"

Because of me, people die.

Sheila grabs her fist when it's going to take time to take that fact. Potatoes and red blood flow, but it heals instantly.

It's a pointless act, but if I hadn't done this much, I would have been crushed by regret.

And again, look around.

What you hear is the voices and screams of those who seem to suffer. The other day we were having a celebratory party for the Demon King crusade, so who the hell would have expected this to happen?

After a while, Sheila found a place where the crowd was.

There was Lupica and Maria giving some instructions. Relax about it, I'll run right over.

"Lupica! Mr. Maria!

"Sheila!! Oh, good, you're safe...... ugh!!"

"Wow."

I waved and tried to get to Lupica, but Lupica jumped on Sheila earlier than that. I'm sorry to make you worry about the way I tear you up that I'm glad you're safe.

"Ugh, Lupica is the one. Was it okay?

"It was critical, but we managed to make it. I was able to join Maria right away, so I'm in charge now."

"I never thought I'd be so impotent."

Lupica and Maria smile, but look somewhere satisfied. Sheila laughs at it too and feels a little easier g.

And at the same time, I notice that Lupica and Maria are injured.

When Sheila chants her heels, her wounds heal as she looks around - and she gets an exclamation from those around her saying, "Whoa."

"Thank you, Sheila"

Lupica looks at the back of her scratchless hand, etc. Thank you.

"Thanks for the help.... I received a report from Lupica earlier, so I'll be fine, but Sheila can give me some details later."

Maria cares more about this detail than about the injury.

A lot of people are still gathering under Maria, and it's hard to just give them instructions.

"Okay."

One man came forward where Maria was relieved by the nodding Sheila. Leaning her neck wondering what the hell it was, she grabbed Sheila's arm a lot.

"Immediately, do the magic of healing to His Majesty as well. The wounds are deep."

I accidentally thought the attack was... Sheila, but apparently she's not the enemy and stops her hand at the inch. The king is Maria's father.

Sheila nodded quickly and tried to follow the man - now Maria grabs Sheila's arm.

"Mr. Maria?

"Master Eleonora, if you don't hurry, Your Majesty... your father is in danger. Get your hands off this girl immediately."

"Shut up."

"Huh!?"

Staring at the man complaining, Maria shakes her head slowly.

"We have now received a report that His Majesty has taken his breath away. No treatment required."

"Hey, what the hell!? Your Majesty...... Huh!!"

Hearing Maria's words, the man ran out with Sheila's arm off, which he was grabbing. Perhaps there is a king in that direction, thinking with a blurry head.

But not now, not...

"Maria's father... Huh!?"

Sheila doesn't really know what kind of person she is, just a little face-to-face with the king. But he's Maria's father. There is no way that she, my daughter, is not hard.

I regret myself that if I did not come to this country, if I did not teach you about the Spirit, this would not have happened.

Sheila also has a family, and if she dies... not very much, but I'm not sure I can swing at her temperament.

What an apology to Maria, biting her lips off.

But the word that came out of Maria's mouth was something Sheila had no idea.

"Don't worry about it, Sheila. Now I can be king."

"Huh...?

"... the mastermind of this case of the Spirits was your father... Your Majesty. I can't allow a man at the top of the country to do that."

So Maria told me to say hello when she grabbed Sheila's arm a little so she could stop her from healing magic in time.

Sheila breathes and stares at Maria. Because I never thought she'd think of that.

- Speaking of which, you didn't hear anything about your family from Maria...

Maria has always thought about this country first and foremost about her people. Against Sheila, she also told me good things and fun things about the Wang Capital.

"I love this country. Much more than family."

Everyone is happy... what a big dream it may be, but Maria really wanted to make it happen.

Maria's ideals are very high.

That would also be one factor in making her known as the Virgin.

But adults betray children's dreams.

Since when, I have come to wonder if my father's politics is not good. And this spiritual incident is a decisive one.

"Maria, but that's why... Huh!!"

"It's okay. Please, let me stand up. Rebuild the castle, and I swear I will make this country a richer and happier place than ever before."

So Sheila also tells her that Maria has a strong will to watch it. And at the same time, I uttered words of apology saying I was sorry in a country like this.

"You're disappointed you came out of the country admiring Wang Du, aren't you?

Maria's expression, which she says sorry for, appears to put up with wrinkles and hence crying in her eyes. Sheila immediately says, "That's not true."

"Not at all. 'Cause I've only been sightseeing for a little while... but this place is so nice, fun, it's like a dream place from me in the country"

So there's nothing for Maria to be ashamed of.

"Thank you, Sheila. Then I'll give Sheila more dreams now."

"Aria......"

All I can do is snort at Maria, who behaves like a temperament. The truth is, it's not a good idea to let Maria alone carry such a big deal... the thought is in Sheila.

But that changes in Lupica's words.

Sheila has nothing to worry about.

"Lupica...... but me"

"It's okay. Because Maria is strong, and we're attached."

Lupica seemed to know Maria's resolve, looking at her with strong eyes.

"I went out of the basement and immediately took Maria and Her Majesty to evacuate.... must have been confused to see the castle collapse. How did His Majesty find the spirits underground - yes, I did."

"The king..."

Decision-hitting would be strange because the king accidentally confessed, Lupica says.

And at the same time, I smiled because the spirits would no longer suffer.
