51 51. Every trouble of the Spirit King (1/2)

... eh?

Spirit King?

Er!

”E, Eliane? I thought you had a hunch, but did you miss it?

Nigel is surprised that I accidentally shouted.

I mean... you're the Spirit King!?

That's what I wasn't expecting either.

”I knew it was the Spirit, but I didn't know it was the Spirit King....”

Honestly, I'm confused.

That's right.

From the moment I saw him, I noticed that he was clearly a different kind of magic.

The Spirit stands apart from other races and builds its own cultural zone.

That's why we humans rarely see them.

”... I didn't think I was a spirit either. If it's true, it's even more surprising, but I was more surprised by Elaine's reaction.”

And Nigel laughed.

Su, sorry.

”You don't have to apologize. Has Elaine ever seen a spirit?

”Yes”

That was when I was a Virgin in the kingdom.

Suddenly Prince Claude said, ”The Knights are going on an expedition, so follow me!” unilaterally.

This is a story I heard later, but apparently the Knights' healers were understaffed.

Nevertheless, some ambulance homes and adventurers have healers... but if you ask them, they have to pay you.

In other words, as a saint, I can work for free.

That's why I said that.

Well, it's fine.

Klaus, a handsome and gentle knight, was with him.

Besides, I was honestly glad to be of help to everyone.

At that time, I encountered a spirit as I passed through the forest.

It was a child's spirit, so it was small... but the magic I saw at that time was very similar to his -- Philip's.

”Well, I don't think it's impossible to be surprised. We spirits rarely appear in public. Your reaction is not impossible.”

And Philip said without changing his expression.

”So... why did the Spirit King come to Lynch Giham? And in such a worn out state.”

When Nigel asked, Philip opened his mouth.

”Actually, there was a problem in our village.”

”Trouble?

”Yes, so if I was a good healer in the human world, I thought maybe it would solve it… and I was looking around for a city or village nearby.”

I see.

”It's been so long... I finally found it”

So Philip turned to me.

”I didn't expect the Virgin to be in this city-- please, Virgin. Please help us.”

and lowered his head on his knees.
