Chapter 179 The Four Evils, Kyuuki (Qiongqi)
After we saved Phoenix-san.
We returned to the Elf village.
When we explained the situation to the village chief, Delphringer-san, she deeply bowed her head to us.
"Leaf-san, and everyone. Thank you very much."
"It was the least we could do."
Mercury-san replied like that.
Originally, we had come to the village through Duke Graham's referral for a request.
It was good that we were able to fulfill our duties properly.
"Hawks, I'm glad to see your face after so long."
"Hawks...?"
Who could it be?
In the direction the village chief was looking, there was the Phoenix perched on my shoulder.
"So your name is Hawks-san."
'Yes... Delphringer, it's been a while. I have caused trouble for you this time. How should I apologize?'
"It's fine. It's give and take, right?"
It seemed like the village chief and Phoenix-san were acquaintances, or rather, friends.
They both have lived a long time, so maybe friendship had blossomed over their long association.
'Thank you, Delphringer. By the way, there is something urgent that I need to inform the master and the pharmacist about.'
What could it be?
'The Four Evils have been unleashed upon the world.'
"What!? The Four Evils!?"
...The village chief widened her eyes and exclaimed.
Mercury-san also had a pale face. Huh?
"Um, what are the Four Evils?"
Then the village chief explained.
"They are the four spiritual beasts that spread calamity in this world."
"Spiritual beasts..."
They seemed to be powerful magic creatures.
Mercury-san said while wiping sweat from her forehead.
"The Four Evils harm people just by being alive. That's why they are said to have been sealed by ancient people."
"How do you know if they have been unleashed?"
Then the Phoenix, Hawks-san, continued.
'One of the Four Evils, Kyuuki, is responsible for making this one sick.'
"Kyuuki..."
'Yes. It's a beast covered in spiky fur all over its body. It brings disease to living creatures through its fur needles and spreads the cause to its surroundings.'
Delphringer-san scratched her head.
"It's said that the Four Evils were sealed simultaneously. It's unlikely that only one has been released... They are truly troublesome."
In other words, the creature that infected Phoenix-san with a virus was one of the Four Evils called Kyuuki.
Including Kyuuki, there are four terrifying creatures in the world right now... that's the situation.
Yeah.
"Well then, we have to defeat them!"
"L-Leaf-kun!? Do you understand? They are the Four Evils that were sealed in ancient times because they couldn't be defeated!"
"But, should we just leave them alone? These Evil Four is spreading the virus more and more, you know?"
"T-That's true, but..."
As a pharmacist, I can't just ignore the spread of the disease.
"I will find Kyuuki and definitely defeat it!"
