Chapter 80
Girl and Spirit Tree 1
“This is the… Spirit Tree”
I see a giant tree in front of me. A giant tree with a hint of light. I’ve never seen a tree this big.
The elves, including Mr. Sileva, cheered for being able to exorcise the demons. And as it was, I headed to the Spirit Tree. Am I calling on the Spirits, speaking to the Spirit?
But I can see its translucent presence shaking its head, which I can see loudly. I wonder why. Mr. Sileva and the others have a puzzled look on their face.
“… this Spirit Tree has nothing more power.”
The Spirit, who only possesses the power to speak on this occasion, threw such words.
This Spirit Tree doesn’t have any more power.
So mysterious, no more power? There’s this tree that’s so powerful, so existential, and exudes an aura that’s different from the rest of the tree? I was surprised to hear Frene speak. You seem so powerful, how could you?
“Lernda, take a good look. With a feeling of magic.”
Because Frene says so, I see the tree as I try to see magic as I am told…. Magic, see the magic of the Spirit Tree coming together. Sure… Something weak? You mean he’s headed downstairs, that? In the dirt? Soil, no, something, connected somewhere else?
See ahead of that magic. There, the demon you knocked down earlier? What is this…
“… that demon?
“Yeah, it is. Those demons… they were negotiating with the elves. And he was eating sacrifices. But behind it, he was taking the magic of the Spirit Tree from the earth.”
Magic. It took away the magic of the Spirit Tree.
“What?!? The spirits who are contracted to do so didn’t say.”
“That’s right. This demon didn’t do that in the beginning. The elves were trying to stay alert. Ever since the spirits were so weak that they could not speak – really little by little, they had taken the power of the Spirit Tree for a long time. And that demon was empowering. As easy as it is with the elves.”
Frene says.
Frene jumped out of the Spirit Tree. It’s the spirit that grew up in the Spirit Tree. That’s why I guess I knew better than anyone what the Spirit Tree was like. First time I know the facts, me or Mr. Sileva, yeah, everyone else can’t help but be surprised, but Frene just calms down and talks about it being true.
“Well then… well, spirit-like”
“Calm down. Indeed, this Spirit Tree is about to lose its power. But the spirits in the Spirit Tree have not yet been wiped out.”
“But… how do you say there’s not even a spiritual tree lodge?
A homestead? What is a homestead? When the Spirit Tree is irrelevant, can it be managed? Honestly, I don’t know that kind of knowledge. I turn my gaze toward Mr. Lan, but Mr. Lan also shook his head, wondering if he could tell.
“… I also know that you don’t have a lodge right now. But that could work out. Yeah, I can handle it.”
Frene says that. What are you talking about, Sumitomo? With that, can you do something about it?
My head is hanging on. And how can you say that what Mr. Sileva thought could not be done?
“I can handle it, what?
That’s how Frene turned to me.
“- I could have left this place if I had a Spirit Tree lodge. If there is a lodge when the Spirit Tree is reborn anew. The spirits can stay there. But your village was just losing its trees. That’s why I couldn’t act with that demon. But there’s Lernda.”
“Huh?”
I raised my voice unexpectedly.
Frene is looking at me. I’m putting out my name. So everyone is paying attention to me. Why are you giving me my name?
“Lernda is very, very compatible with the Spirit. Plus, there’s a lot of magic. Lernda also gave me magic when I jumped out of the Spirit Tree and was able to regain my power. And because Lernda was compatible with me the Spirit of the Wind. But no matter how compatible the magic is, I won’t recover so much. Lernda is compatible with the magic of spirits and spiritual trees. So I think Lernda can probably interfere with the Spirit Tree. So I can handle it.”
Apparently I have the magic to go well with the Spirit. I don’t really feel that way. Suddenly they say that, and I get confused.
Frene looked at me and laughed.
“- – Lernda, I want you to help the Spirit Tree and the Spirit”
To the words, I nodded.
Because if I can do something about this, I want to do something.
“Thank you, Lernda. To the Spirit Tree…”
I walked over near the Spirit Tree, as Frene told me.
When I came just to the foot of the Spirit Tree, Frene went.
“Magic, as you wish”
I heard the words and reached out to the Spirit Tree.
– – With the girl, Spirit Tree 1.
(Maybe the divine girl confronts the Spirit Tree. to the word of the covenant Spirit, the girl nods)
