The Villager Who Grew Up Drinking Elixir Fountain

A few days after the total destruction of the royal castle - Sheila and the others were gathered in the mansion of Lupica.

There are four members: Sheila, Lupica, Maria and Alf. After that, I tried to find Claus, but discovered that it was after I had already embarked on a journey.

Claus was the first person outside the village Sheila met, so I think she would have liked to talk a little more, even if she said goodbye at the end...... and dropped her shoulder.

Nevertheless, I can't help thinking about a human being who isn't there.

Sheila has a more important case than that right now. Looking around at the Lupicas in their seats, Sheila coughs up one thing with Cohon.

"Now I'd like to discuss what to do"

…………

It's a serious look Sheila, but its agenda is' that Sheila has begun to be called the Virgin '.

"Discuss, hey..."

Maria applauds her unwillingness and glances at the paperwork at hand as she says, "Could it be the First Congregation of the Virgin?"

Seeing her attitude just saying it doesn't matter, Sheila shakes her head.

"Maria, don't say that. Do something! When I get out of town, I can hear you say you're the Virgin from all over the place! I can't walk because I'm ashamed!!"

It's impossible to get so much attention, restless, Sheila insists on helping. Seeing the interaction between the two, Lupica laughs dull.

"But Sheila seems like a real saint."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Lupica, Mr. Alf, no..."

I listen to the two of you, and Sheila nods.

Maria laughs.

"I need hope now. Sheila, you are seen as hope by the people, and my stock, which Sheila is getting along with, will go up."

"Yeah..."

Maria tells me she's sorry she's using politics.

We're going to rebuild our country as kings, so we better have more allies.

"Even if you can magically remove the rubble from the royal castle, it won't hold up when it's built, will it? The rubble has almost cleared up in the last few days, but there's still a pile to do"

"Well, that's true."

"So right now, I can't afford to be around Sheila's Virgin."

- That's pre-construction.

I definitely believe that if Sheila really reigns as the Virgin, she will remain this way because it will be a hope of life for the people.

Sheila, who doesn't know that, does have a hard time with Maria and this country, and she can't say it strongly anymore.

"Well, that's... that's right"

But as it is, even on the journey, they call me "Virgin!" I don't know what the hell I left the village for.

As it is, I'm going to be heading back to the village until it's almost cold.

"But it's amazing what the Virgin and the people recognize.... I know because I was recognized as a brave man too, but only in the first place can I make a scene. I'll calm down soon."

"The same thing happened to Mr. Alf."

"Well, yeah."

Sheila snorts at Alf, who now tells him to wait a little. Make sure of that, then Maria opens her mouth this time.

"That's right, Sheila. Are you deciding what you're going to do?

"I'm with you in the beginning. I plan to take a relaxing journey."

"Really..."

I look at Maria like I'm thinking of something, and I tilt my neck wondering what happened to Sheila.

Maria put the paperwork in her hand on her desk and closed her eyes to come up with something. After a little silence, open your eyes and stare at Sheila.

That appearance was different from earlier, turning it into something serious.

"... although I know I shouldn't ask Sheila, who is not a person in this country, to do this"

"? Something, per favor?

"Sheila, have you been out of town since the fall of your royal castle?

"Outside? Ugh, I helped carry the rubble during the day, and I'm staying at Lupica's house at night, and I haven't even stepped outside the city."

On the contrary, we have not gone anywhere but the castle and the Lupica mansion. I wonder if something's happened, and, uh, I remember what the fellow man I met in the dungeon said.

"... you know the Demon King Pier? It's not now, it's the demon king I used to be. They say that the country has chosen the brave and has become a match for the demon king. That's when I heard that the plants of this country had cursed me not to grow. '

Sure, that's what the researchers said.

I mean, now that the Spirit is gone, the curse is appearing in this country - I guess.

I never remembered Sheila before because she hadn't seen the plant so much herself. But if it's a curse that doesn't grow...... I also think maybe it doesn't make much difference in appearance.

Because the rose gardens and the grass trees that were in Lupica's mansion were not soaked.

"I've been desperate to find out the last few days. The demon king's curse and all. I spoke to a miraculously surviving researcher, but I didn't know the details because it was a long time ago. But it seems true that plants will no longer grow"

"You're more like the old demon king than the demon king we defeated.... Honestly, I don't know how to break the curse."

Following Maria, Alf also talks like he's in trouble.

He says he's been doing a lot of research on the curse the last few days. but it was just as massive as the whole country, so they don't have a solution at all.

"I hear the Demon King is called Peer. I've come to the conclusion that if we can break the curse, we'll have to contact this demon king directly."

"What, to the Demon King!?"

Even though Sheila is surprised by Alf's words, Maria immediately tells her, "We don't have time for this," she says.

"Now is a good time, but if you notice that no new plants will grow... your anxiety will spread all at once. So ask Alf to find Pia, the Demon King, and the rest of us will find out how to curse him in the meantime."

"I see...... indeed, it would be better to proceed concurrently. Could it be that your wish for me..."

"Yes, with Alf, I want you to find Pier, the Demon King."

Hearing that tough wish, Sheila took her breath away.
