Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 209: Freetia´s first princess and the cause of her illness

I'm taken to a room in the royal castle. The room was decorated in light blue and the furniture and bed were white, making it look like a neat princess's room. The master of the room was on a king-sized bed.

"I'm so glad you're here. Please excuse me for being here. My name is Sylphy Freetia. I am the first princess of Freetia"

She was a princess with long, silky, light blue hair.

"I see you for the first time. I'm Takuto, a summoner and adventurer"

"Yes, I know who you are. I was able to watch the match the other day from here"

Acha~. Oh, I was being watched. I didn't mean to make a disgraceful match, but I did say a lot of things to Princess Sarah, didn't I.

"Huhu. It's okay if it's about Sarah. Just treat her as you would like to be treated"

Hmm? Is there something wrong? Well, if it's fine as it is, I'll stay as it is.

"I called you here today to have you show me your summoned beasts. Can you do that for me?"

"Older sister Sylphy is the representative summoner of this country. That's why she's always interested in summoned beasts"

I see. If that's the case, I'll call them. So, first of all, I summoned Lily, Ion, Setia, Koihi and Ix.

"Wawa!? A princess's room!?"

"Eh? What is the situation? Takuto-san?"

"The princess of Freetia wanted to see you. Therefore I summoned you. Say hello"

"A big bed! Mohhuu!"

Lily dived into the princess's bed. Ah!? What are you doing!?

"H, Hey! Lily-san! I haven't done that lately either! Take over!"

Henri-sama, I don't think you should...

"No problem. It's nice to meet you. My name is Sylphy"

"H, Hue!? N, Nice to meet you! I'm Lily"

That's amazing. I've never heard Lily so formly before.

"Can I stroke your head?"

"Eh...sure"

Lily looks at me.

"She can pat you"

"Y, Yes...huaaa..."

"Your hair is so beautiful and silky...good girl...good girl"

"Aa...aa...suu...suu..."

Lily fell asleep.

"Th, This...I didn't think there was a devil's hand user other than Takuto-san!?"

"That's surprising"

Ion, what's a devil hand? And don't be surprised about it Koihi. There I noticed that Setias appearance was strange.

"Setia, what's wrong?"

"Takuto-sama...I think I may have found out what's eating Princess Sylphy"

Princess Sylphy and Princess Henri were surprised by Setia's shocking words.

"I can't be sure...but I think Ix's analysis skill might be able to tell us"

At Setia's words, I looked at Princess Sylphy. Analysis skill is useless unless you get permission from the person herself.

"Can you do that for me?"

"I understand. Ix, please"

"Yes, Master. Analysis skill activated. Subject Sylphy Freetia...analysis complete. I've discovered an extremely high concentration of a demon source near the heart"

"Is that so..."

Setia is convinced, but it's refreshing to me. I ask for an explanation.

"Demon source is the counterpart of mana. Both humans and nature take in mana and live. But demon sources are the opposite, when they are taken in by living things, they corrode the mana in their bodies, spread rapidly and eventually kill them. In the case of Princess Sylphy, I think she is desperately resisting with the blessings of a powerful summoned beast and her own magic power"

"I see...so those kids are helping me..."

Princess Sylphy smiles happily. If she knew that her own summoned beasts were protecting her own life, that would be the case.

"I know what a demon source is, but the question is how to cure it.

"I can't talk about it alone...Takuto-sama, please summon everyone. I want to hear all about it"

Umm. If you'll excuse me, I have to use summon Legion.

"Amazing...not only a nightmare species, but also a mermaid species and an angel species...and all of them together...huhu. I never thought that the space I dreamed of would come true today"

I don't know what that means.

"It's older sister Sylphys dream. She's always said that she wanted to see various races living in harmony with each other"

I see...that's a good dream. If possible, I would like to see it spread not only in this room, but throughout the country.

Then, let's hear what everyone has to say. First of all, there's Ribina, who is an expert on demon source.

"Demon source is what makes up our demons body. Because of the depth of this demon source, it was set up a devil with a name"

"Can't you get rid of it?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'm sure if I touch it, my body will be raped by this demon. I think it's the same for everyone else"

"Bran and Wako answer.

"It's frustrating, but thats right...using magic or skill to heal is risky"

"I agree with you. Purification and exorcism are originally techniques for demons, but this demon is too dark to be in our hands. I think Nine Tails-sama and Inari-sama can cure it, though"

Well, I guess that's impossible.

"Do you have any other ideas on how to cure it?"

Ribina answered first.

"The quickest way is to defeat the person who set this up. It's a part of his body, so of course it will disappear when he's defeated. But I'm sure he's quite skilled"

Well, that's simple. Next, Mir and Setia talk.

"There are plants that can purify a demon source. I don't know how effective it is, but I think it has a certain effect"

"The only thing is that the plant is called the purifying holy grass and it only grows in places where there is the blessing of a great spirit. I don't even know if it exists in the elven forest"

I've never even been to an elf forest yet and I don't know if there are any...I mean, are there any places with more spirit blessings than an elf forest?

These are the only two ways we've come up with. The only thing that became clear was that we needed to keep adventuring, whether to defeat the original enemy or to cure it with medicine.

Afterwards, I explained the situation to the royalty, Hippocrates and the doctors. They all thanked me. They now knew the cause of what they hadn't known before and they knew how to deal with it. It will be possible to move in various ways as a country.

"I can't thank you enough...I can't do anything for you right now, but I will give you a reward"

"Give it to me after the zombies are gone and when the princess is safely free of her demon source and healed"

The people around me were surprised when I said that. Is that strange? In real life, people pay for medical examinations, but I think it's better to get the money after the disease is cured.

"...If you say so, I'll promise you an exceptional reward when Sylphy's demon source is gone and she's healthy again"

I did it. The king has promised me a lavish reward. What can it be? Is it a legendary weapon? Oh, that would be a betrayal of Hephaestus. I left the castle, thinking that something else would be better.
