”Nevertheless, you can't just leave. Hearing from somewhere about a good healer, I think I've arrived in Lynch Giham...?

Now Nigel asks a question from behind.

Philip answered his question.

After that, I can't help but keep searching for a few months... even if I'm worn out.

”Exactly. I didn't expect much, but I didn't expect the Virgin to be here. I beg you again, Madonna. And His Highness the Prince of this country. Can you help us? Of course, I will return the favor.”

And Philip lowered his head again.

I understand.

Originally, it is a matter of careful scrutiny. The opponent is the Spirit King. It's a matter of country and country.

But it's also true that you can't say that either.

In the meantime, other spirits will be suffering in his village.

Nigel.

”Yeah.”

Look at Nigel and make eye contact with me.

It seems that he shares my opinion.

Then you don't have to worry.

”I see. I will soon help you as a saint.”

When I say that, Philip says, ”Oh, really?” and raised his face,

”Ah, thank you! I was prepared to take time until I made my decision, but I didn't expect you to make that decision so soon...! The spirits in the village rejoice.”

and grabbed my hands tightly.

”--Eh!”

I didn't realize it because I thought it was a child, but when I heard it was much older than me, the story was different.

Hidden by its long forehair, Philip is quite beautiful.

No matter how much you look like a child, you'll be confused if you get so close to handsome.

”Come on, don't worry about it. There is a saying in this country:” Help the people in need. ”We can't just leave you here.”

That said, I strayed from him.

Because if you keep staring at me, I'm kind of illuminated.

”Well, there's also the word 'good' for 'hurry up'. Shall we go now?

”Ha, yes!

”And then....”

I cough with a cohon and say:

”You don't have to be. You are the Spirit King, and the first way to talk is enough.”

”What are you saying? Such an attitude towards the Virgin who might save us.....”

”There's no such thing as the Virgin! It has the name Eliane, so please call it that.”

I'm not used to being treated very politely.

Philip was worried at first, but eventually.

”... I see. Then it's the Virgin... not Elaine. Thank you very much.”

”Yes, I understand.”

I smile.

Yeah. I like them better.

”Elaine, I'm coming with you. I can't let you do anything by yourself.”

”Of course. Thank you very much.”

Nigel is fit to protect the goddess.

If I were with him, I'd be able to cut through the monster on the way.

”Once again, Philip. Thank you very much.”

”Oh, again, thank you very much.”

And Philip stared straight into my eyes and thanked me.
