he rain continued to pour down, and now the road is flooded and muddy. It also seems that the number of members within the rest stop has grown since then.
A deputy branch manager from Trient began discussing matters of making repairs to the rest stop due to the minor flooding caused in the area. He came out of his room with the group of adventurers that played the part of his escort.
As for cleaning out most of his possessions, he was more or less reasonable about it. At the very least, he doesn't outright treat me as some form of villain.
Since making any progress in the rain would be slow and risk damaging the carriage, as well as possibly damaging the Skeleton Horses, I decided to make the most of the situation and gain some information on current events.
In short, I discovered that the Princess had been successfully healed with the elixir that the Kirika Empire's Heir had brought back, according to the deputy manager.
It is the first case of "Undead Disease" that has ever been cured, and apparently, the kingdom kept a few drops of the elixir for analysis to attempt to reproduce it.
Well, it wasn't discussed how they managed to retrieve the elixir without conquering the elves, but I decided to not press the matter further.
At the very least, it seems there won't be any further attempts to attack the elves again. Due to the substantial losses incurred during the war, the idea of going back to subdue the elves had become quite unpopular; with a certain group of nobles returning from the war, leading the opposition.
It seems I wont need to return to defend the elves for the time being.
Other than the talk and a short stroll around the rest stop, the day passed without much of further note.
