NOVEL NEXT Looking at the glowing magic circle, I felt anxious for some reason.
I wonder what it is.
This magic circle feels dangerous.
It's disgusting. It looks like a magic circle that affects the spirit.
I rushed away from the magic circle at the words of my father.
The spirit was probably due to the magic circle that was attacked by my anxiety earlier.
"Ariel, don't look too much. If you look at it, you may be affected.”
…………
Arielus?
I see Arielus who doesn't respond to his father's words.
He stared at the magic circle.
Arias!
Your father's loud voice echoes in the cave, as does the sound of batting and hitting your cheeks.
What? What?
Mr. Arias put his hand on his cheek with a happy expression.
She has an unknown look on her face about what happened.
Where are Tanras and Leah?
“It's okay, I'm creepy and I'm not watching.”
I was relieved by Lilia's words.
But what about Mr. Tanras?
"I'm fine, too."
That's good.
Looking at the two voices, they were interrupting Lilia...... No, I could see Tanras, who was holding on to Lilia and had a troubled expression on her face.
Yeah, anything's fine.
Are you okay?
Arielus, whose cheeks were thin and red after being slapped by his father, probably heard about the situation.
She looks pretty pale.
"I'm sorry. After seeing the magic circle, I don't remember it very well." Huh? Why is Lilia hugging Tanras? "
Oh, you're still worried?
"When I saw that magic circle, I felt a creepy fear. When I noticed, I was hugging her."
I guess Leah's most relaxing person was Tannis.
What's that?
Looking at Lilia's hand, she noticed that she was still trembling slightly.
"I'm the one who's been most affected."
Ms. Arias' expression was a little depressed.
Arielus must have been the one who was most affected.
But Lilia seemed to be more affected than I was.
Are you all right?
Ah, is Tron and the Tree Monster all right?
If it affects my spirit, I can't stay in front of the magic circle.
"Tron, come here because it's dangerous." And the monster of the tree. "
When I turned my gaze to the Tron, the magic circle came into my sight.
Besides, I was a little excited, and I called out to the two of them.
”Giggle, giggle, giggle”
The tree monster looked back slightly and shook its branches.
The roots went to the magic circle that emitted a pale light on the wall.
“What are you doing?”
In response to Lilia's words, her father shook his head.
I don't know, but it looks like the magic circle is doing okay.
Sure enough, there was no change in the movement of Tron, the tree monster, or the magic circle.
Is the Tree Monster not susceptible to the influence of the magic circle?
I don't know? The common sense of the tree monster I know hasn't been useful since I met Toron.
Your father's words remind me of a book about monsters.
Certainly, the tree monsters in the book just said that "a troublesome monster that mimics a tree and attacks people" and that "the signs and magic of the tree monster in the cave are very difficult to detect, so the cave with the tree monster needs to be well equipped".
Hmph.
Huh?
I feel like there is a sweet fragrance now, but what is the fragrance?
The fruit of the tree monster has fallen.
When I turned my gaze back to the tree monster in my father's words, it was just the moment that several fruits fell.
It's true. A lot of fruit has fallen.
When I see the fallen fruit, there are many things that are cracked for some reason.
I don't think there was enough impact to crack it, but why is it cracked?
”That sweet scent is kind of calming me down, isn't it?”
Ms. Arielus nodded at Leah's words.
I didn't feel it, but does it contain ingredients that calm my feelings?
Hey, the light in the magic circle is darker than before, right?
Huh?
Dark?
I turned my gaze to the magic circle in response to Tanras's words.
It certainly seems to be dark enough for the eyes to see.
"I guess so." Oh, and the magic circle seems to be weakening too. "
It's still a magic circle that emits a pale light, but I don't feel as uneasy as my father.
I was relieved to see the entire magic circle.
Pete.
"[]/(n, adj-no) (1) (uk) (
Hmm?
A tree monster slammed its roots at the center of the magic circle as it looked for its identity, curious about the slightest sound that had reached its ears.
I don't know what you're doing, but it's the wooden monster that weakens the magic circle, right?
Dad, you can think that the Tree Monster has weakened the magic circle, right?
"Maybe that's what it is." The only thing that touched the magic circle was the tree monster. "
That's right.
Ah, I think I stopped tapping.
By the way, Sol also disabled the magic circle's powers.
I would normally approach the magic circle myself, but today... I'm not here.
I wonder why.
"What the hell is that?"
Huh?
Tan Rus-san's suspicious voice turned his attention to the magic circle.
The central part of the magic circle. That's a painting, isn't it? an elongated stick...? "
Mr. Tanras tilts his head.
Sure enough, a stick-like picture appeared in the center of the magic circle.
I mean, that place was where the monster of the tree used its roots to slap it.
It's not a stick, it's a snake, right?
According to Mr. Arias, when the picture came out clearly, he realized that it was a snake.
Moreover, the body of the snake is depicted as an imitation.
A snake with a pattern.
Isn't this Serpent?
Look at your father.
“That's right. It looks just like the pattern on their bodies.”
"Pefufu"
Sol?
Looking at the anxious sound, I saw Sol gently coming out of the shadows of Shell's body.
Were you hiding in such a place?
"From Sol's attitude, the usual magic circle." I don't know how to say this, but the magic circle and the magic circle on this wall seem to be a little different. "
Yeah.
Looks like it's not a bad idea for Sol.
Maybe it will have a negative impact on Sol?
Besides,
"I wonder what that painting means."
Look at the pictures that have emerged in the center.
"Serpent's painting."
Father shakes his head to the side.
"There are too many things I don't know about the magic circle." For now, I'll tell Abal. "
That's right.
Speaking of which, it looks like you're busy at work and you haven't seen Mr. Abal at all.
Sometimes it seems like they come to the inn to ask about us, but it's always a mistake.
I'd like to see your face and talk to you.
"Oh, Dad, the painting will disappear."
As the magic circle disappeared, the picture that appeared in the center disappeared.
Father, do you remember the magic circle?
I saw it to remember when I was no longer affected... but I'm worried.
"You must have remembered to some extent. Where's Ivy?"
I'd like to say it's okay, but I wonder if there's any missing part.
I need some paper.
"Giggle"
Oh, the tree monster is back.
Tron is with us.
That's good.
That's right.
I wonder if the tree monster that was touching the magic circle is okay?
Ah, is the trunk of the tree monster black?
Looking at the way Lilia pointed, it was true that some of the trunks of the wooden monsters were black.
When I saw it, I remembered the blackened tree monster I had seen before.
It wasn't part of it, but the whole body was black.
Is that part okay?
I asked the tree monster, pointing to the black trunk.
"Giggle, giggle"
The sound hasn't changed, so isn't it painful?
I mean, I don't seem to care at all.
That's because it's okay, right?
