The Villager Who Grew Up Drinking Elixir Fountain

4: I'm here in the mountains to meet the Patronus

The condition for entering the village of the witch is to heal the guardian god of the wounded mountain.

The mountain is a spiritual peak just behind a village of witches, where precious herbs can be harvested. However, it is not so easy to step in because it also inhabits a proportionally strong demon.

Sheila stretched out a long time and took the mountain air into her body thoughtfully.

"What kind of creature is this mountain guardian?"

"Sheila, you're tired if you hurry so fast... you won't, I'm sure"

"Yeah, I'm fine!

Even though Lupica speaks out worried about Sheila walking more and more in the mountains, the person of the moment is blatant.

With a bitter smile at it, Alf looks around.

"At least I wish I knew which side of the mountain you were around"

The witch didn't tell us where the Patron God was, so it's from where she looks. Hopefully it won't take too long, Alf tells me.

"Speaking of which, Claus was a bandit and you're familiar with the woods. You know, the Patron of the Mountains?

"Sure, Ajito was in the woods, but that's not why I'm familiar with it. In the first place, does there really exist a guardian god? Isn't that a lie to get rid of us so often?

Claus, told by Alf, sighs that's a disciplined thing.

Because the witches are releasing their treatment, you know where and in what form. The fact that you haven't been told that either means you've been lied to or you're not expecting it in the first place.

When I heard Claus say something like that, Sheila said, "I'm sure she's here!" I raise my voice.

"Because it's kind of fun to be there! Well, I've never met a patron saint either..."

"It's easy. Sheila knows the woods better than I do."

"I'm not. I never went to the back of the woods alone."

Although herb collection is common, it was often also with the Spirit. If you don't know, you can ask them, so Sheila herself isn't that understanding in the woods.

So, fu, Sheila, who was walking in the lead, stopped her leg.

"Is that it? I hear something"

…………

I just let my gaze get lost, and I said, "What is it?" and lean his neck.

But he didn't seem to hear anything but Sheila, and Lupica wondered, "What kind of sound is that?" I hear.

Sheila troubled, giving the answer.

"Um, am I snoring?

"Snoring?"

There would be no choice but to accidentally overlap the voices of all.

Klarth asks Sheila about the killer with her head on her tongue looking troublesome.

"It doesn't sound like anything to me though... are you human? Are you an animal or a demon?

"Uh-huh, you're not human."

"Then animals or demons? Well, that doesn't sound like me at all... if that's the patron saint"

That being said and Claus laughs, he immediately pounds his hand as Alf was convinced.

"Isn't the Guardian God asleep to heal the injury?

"You're a healthy sick man..."

Nevertheless, we are all convinced by the very fact that the Patron God would be resting. Are you snoring at me for being weak? I'd also like to scratch that, but it could be some kind of clue.

There is, of course, a good chance that it was completely irrelevant......

"In the meantime, let's go to the source of that sound. Sheila, can I ask you to guide me?

"Yeah, I got it."

Nodding at Lupica's words, Sheila walks out again.

The voice is very faint, and Sheila might not have noticed it without Elf's long ears.

As I walked away not to miss my voice, little by little, it grew big enough to be audible to the ears of the Lupicas.

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"... that sounds awesome"

"Such a big voice, you're not an animal. Demons, demons."

Lupica is in a hurry when she hears her voice, and Claus looks sincerely disgusted.

The snoring that resonates with the trees makes me anxious. The powerful defeated the Demon King. Though it's a brave party, it's not like I like to fight.

Alf looks at Sheila walking forward and speaks up.

"I'll take the lead from here. If they are demons, they may suddenly attack us."

"Okay."

I switched the order in which I was walking, and Alf took the lead. Behind it are Sheila and Lupica, and at the rear is Claus.

If a demon or something strikes from behind, Claus will be the one to deal with it.

Then after a short walk, the red giant appeared.

He's about ten meters long enough to have to look up. Lupica and Alf open their mouths gently and are stunned.

Yes, it was - a giant red dragon - who was snoring and sleeping.
