Daniela looked at her cured mother with a face that she could see even at first incredible.
I was just begging for help, and I guess I didn't actually think it was possible.
Well, naturally.
Daniela's mother's disease is inherently a disease of death.
If you truly believed that someone who just stumbled through something like that could be cured, on the contrary, you'd be worried enough.
Even if you wanted to believe it, it's normal that you can't believe it.
But Daniela's emotions exploded the moment she found out that she had really healed.
First tears overflowed from my eyes, but there was a grin in my mouth.
And as it were, he bowed his head again and again, and said a word of gratitude.
Thank you, my voice was trembling, but it was a sincere word, so that everyone who heard it was heartfelt grateful could recognize it.
By the way, it was supposed to be Aina who cured it, so it was Aina who was pointed at it.
He looked like he was in deep trouble and pointed his face at Soma just to replace him, but he is naturally through.
The situation continued until Daniela suddenly fell into the spot, whether she was tired of crying, or whether she was simply accumulating fatigue, or whether the thread of tension had been cut in appeasement in addition to both of them.
So.
"Damn, I didn't do anything anymore. I feel so guilty...?
"What, Eina will soon be able to cure such a disease and so on. In the end it is the same thing"
"Not at all...! Damn, really you...!
"... but Daniela appreciated it"
"I know, but that's not what I'm supposed to receive.... but well, that's why I thought about it. He said," Let me try to be what I deserve so that that word doesn't lie. "
Aina's eyes, who said so, were full of determination.
It was somewhat forced, but apparently this time things went well.
Now whine as you breathe out a small breath looking out onto Aina's side.
"So in the end, where are we headed?
It was against Sheila that I turned that word.
We can't stay long in Daniela's house, where the person in the house that is just happening is gone, and Daniela's house later, but then again, when we decided to talk somewhere, Sheila began to take the lead somewhere.
Well I can somehow imagine where she's headed... Sheila stopped in front of one house while she said that.
It is a wooden house similar to Daniela's, and Sheila opens it unconstitutionally as she approaches its door without hesitation.
And as I stepped straight into the house, I looked back, and I said something.
"... come in"
"... still short of words"
"Wouldn't it be nice to predict somehow?
"Well, it is."
If I continued later with that said, the interior was still similar to Daniela's house.
Apparently, the number of rooms is the same, although this time we won't go as far as the room.
When passed to the living room, Sheila sits in one of the chairs and with her gaze prompts the Somas to sit as well.
There is no particular point in turning against it, neither smiling bitterly nor floating in the same way.
So when we both sat in the chair, we opened our mouths to hear what we needed to hear first for now.
"Hmmm... is this house supposed to be Sheila's house for now?
"... Well, technically, I owe you, but I will"
"That means you live here, after all, right?
"... n"
"Daniela told me that a caution stick is being hired in this village..."
"... that's me"
I still snort.
Considering Sheila's not supposed to be a Veritas person here, that's all that's gonna happen.
The question is, how did that happen?
"... when I came to Veritas to gather information, things happened"
That's what Sheila said when she turned her urging gaze, but blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I didn't know.
I mean, I think all that matters... well, I'm going to have to loosen it up a little bit.
"How long have you been collecting information?
"... um, quite a while ago?... since Soma disappeared"
"Hmm? Is that it?
That was a little unexpected.
Because I thought it was a collection of information in the same sense that the Somas came here.
But if you think about it a little bit, you realize that this is normal.
It's simply a physical distance.
The place where Soma and the others are now is near the border close to the Empire.
It was too far from Radius and it was just hard to get around in two weeks.
"Hmm... What information were you collecting in the first place?
"... Various?
"Well I guess so...... then how did that happen?
"... to support Soma?
"My life, is it?
"... n, this is more due to the decision making of Radius as a whole than to me.... Hildegard said it was early, but Radius didn't think the words from the Virgin were a total lie.... Rather, I predicted that something similar would actually happen one day.... and it actually did"
"That's a proclamation from the Empire, right?
"...... hmm.... but it was before I moved.... because I had concerns first to move as Radius"
"Oh, I see, is that what this is about? Indeed, what happens to Veritas in the middle of civil unrest and how he moves is the most important thing to know from Radius."
"But so, why did Sheila move? If you think of it as combat capability, you sure don't have a problem with it, but I find it hard to move, considering that it's an elf?
I've touched it before, but Veritas is a nation of human species.
Other races are difficult to live and spend.
Sometimes it's in the middle of civil unrest, and if there was an elf, it would definitely stand out.
But to Aina's question, Sheila answered by shaking her head to the side.
"... Rather, it's not weird to move around because you're an elf.... If you get caught up in something, it's normal to move around trying to gather information.... if you don't know what you're talking about."
"Uh... I see? If you disguise yourself as a wind caught in it, isn't it strange that you're moving around all over Veritas because you're an elf?
"Well, either way, there will be vigilance, but surely there will be less vigilance than someone of the human species moving around"
"... and then I'm probably the least known of Radius"
"Oh... you're basically hiding your face. Except in the college, but that's what they wouldn't know outside."
"... so I explored a lot, and one time I was supposed to help someone."
"Someone, is it?
"... n, the village chief here. … so from there I decided to do the caution stick with the flow"
"Wait a minute, I think we're talking again? Where's the information gathering?
You can do whatever you want if you're moving individually, but Sheila said earlier that she was moving as Radius.
Yet it would not be a good idea to let go of gathering information and serve as a caution stick for one village.
But I don't think Sheila would do such a mess, so there's no doubt there's some reason there.
Should doing a caution stick be a priority as a result...... or.
Just because it doesn't look that way, it actually combines information-gathering or is.
"Hmm... By the way, this village is a long way from Radius, but how did you get the chance to encounter the village chief in such a place?
"... there are a lot of things going on"
"No. Well, I guess so."
"... Honestly, I don't know if I can talk, so I can't talk"
"Ho... I don't care what you think. It's a village in circumstance"
At any rate, there was a great bond there.
I'd be surprised if they told me there were no circumstances.
Moreover, the fact that Sheila speaks so clearly apparently has a great deal of trouble.
We shouldn't be poking around here badly.
but at the same time, that's why, to some extent, you'll need to know.
Knowing nothing means having nothing to standard.
It could also mean that I was sticking my hand where it was too late when I realized it.
It's not stingy to get involved at the point where Sheila is involved, but I just want to know about that.
Veritas is just a guess, but there is a good chance that there is a demon.
I don't think even that soma can afford to do anything else while dealing with the devil.
To avoid that, we needed to keep our intelligence gathering in place.
"Hmm... if you can't say it, you don't have to say it, but what village is this after all? From what I've seen, it didn't look like he was having that much trouble."
"... the villagers don't come out of their basic homes, so it's natural to think so."
"That means there's something about the villagers, right? But Daniela and the others looked normal, didn't they?
"... naturally because Daniela's mother is a normal human species.... Daniela doesn't know from the outside either because of her thin blood"
"I see... that's all I know enough. In other words, is this a village inhabited mainly by non-human species"
I was surprised as a soma, to be honest, even as I watched Sheila snort.
As I said earlier, Veritas is a country of the human species.
That means that even one village does not exist except in settlements created by human species.
That's what a nation of the human species is, and among other things, Veritas should have been thorough about the area.
It is true that this place is close to the border and off from Veritas, but soma was at least the first ear, such as the existence of villages inhabited by non-human species nonetheless.
"... So this is, like, a kind of hiding place. … so it is"
"Are you?
"... you shouldn't ask any more"
"… is it so"
Actually, at this point, there was a certain thing going on in Soma's head, but he didn't dare put it in his mouth.
Because it is certain that at that moment you will definitely get into trouble.
Exactly enough information was not enough for me to think I could get involved here.
"... hiding places inhabited mainly by people other than the human species, places like? Is that... could it be...?
"Hmm? Aina, have you noticed anything?
"There is if you say there is... no, fine. Something that we haven't proved yet. There's no certainty, but it's not something I can talk about, and I'll talk about it when I'm sure."
"Hmm, is that right..."
I don't know if it's the same thing I did with Soma's head, but for now, it seems better not to mention it.
And for now, is this the place to ask?
"... n, over?
"That's right. I don't know much about it, but I think I know more or less about Sheila."
"Right. It's going to be something I can't talk about later."
"... Well, then it's our turn next.... Why are the Somas here?
To Sheila's doubts, Soma went from start to finish explaining the order.
That I followed the Sacred Capital, that I met God.
About the Demon King, about the devil, meeting Hildegard and Eina, and being taken to the Empire that way.
I also talked about the upside down in the empire, and why I was supposed to come here, Sheila. If you're my opponent, there's nothing to hide, so I talked about it, albeit roughly.
"... that's Soma?... the same."
"Well, that's what you'd think."
"As for me, even if they say so, it feels like"
Sheila looked surprised when she said she had just met God, but at other times she remained a scarce face on her usual expression.
But from the mouthfeel, he was apparently quite surprised about other things.
Then Sheila nodded several times inside herself to chew her current story, and then she turned her gaze to this one again.
"... I mean, the Somas are here to find out what that light is?
"Um, does that mean Sheila saw it, too?
"... Yeah, I saw it.... They also saw all the people in the village.... but we don't know anything else."
"Which part of Daiyuan was it, too?
"... in the direction of the Wang capital, about?... we're investigating it here and now."
"Yeah? Are you investigating?
"... well, I haven't done much yet, for once"
"Hmm..."
To say so still seems to make no mistake to think that Soma's predictions were met.
In other words, Sheila uses caution sticks, but actually collects information.
So when I turned my gaze to Aina, I shrugged my shoulder.
Apparently Eina has reached the same conclusion as Soma, and she's telling me to like it on top of that.
Thankfully.
Then you don't have to hesitate to like it.
"Hmm... do you need help with that investigation?
Rather, it seemed that Sheila was the one who was surprised by the word.
If I blink my eyes a few degrees, I tilt my neck as if to say it was unexpected.
"... okay?
"Well, Sheila's in trouble, and somehow I think it's going to be easier to get information as a result."
"Well, we don't have handouts or anything to gather information on. If you can work with Sheila, I think that's the best way.... There are many things that bother me."
"There will be places like chase around. So, what do you think?
Sheila repeatedly blinked with her neck tilted, but eventually its mouth only slightly loosened.
And.
"... of course -"
"- Of course, you are most welcome!
Moments, so that I could put it on Sheila's words, my voice sounded.
But naturally, that's not Eina's, if not Soma's.
In the first place, the voice was clearly heard from outside the house.
It was almost simultaneously that Soma turned her gaze toward the door of the house as she stood up reflexively, and that door opened.
Katsung and the sound of stepping on the floor.
The same sound sounded twice or three times...... it was a stranger who showed himself that way.
The face is somewhat neutral.
You look like a man, you look like a woman.
At least the outfit belonged to the man... but if he was affirmed to be of one gender or the other, he seemed to be such a person, who could be convinced that it would be either.
"... the village chief?
And, as she answers Sheila's whining, the person engraves a deep grin on her mouth.
And look straight into Soma's eyes...
"It's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Cecil Lepsius! It's my pleasure!
Those words were spoken.
Daniela looked at her cured mother with a face that she could see even at first incredible.
I was just begging for help, and I guess I didn't actually think it was possible.
Well, naturally.
Daniela's mother's disease is inherently a disease of death.

"... still short of words"
"Wouldn't it be nice to predict somehow?
"Well, it is."
