NOVEL NEXT "Pupu"
Sora, who was far away from the branch, spoke sadly for some reason.
What's the matter?
When I saw the part that Sora treated, I noticed that it was still in a black state.
What's that?
I wonder if the discoloration won't be restored?
"Pu..."
Sora, who spoke with a sad voice, gulped down her arms.
Are you okay?
Plump, plump, plump
She seems to be fine, but she's not feeling well.
What's the matter with you?
After completing the treatment, you're crying sadly.
Maybe the treatment failed?
I don't think so, because it's Sora who heals her near-death injuries.
However, I am a little concerned that the black discoloration remains intact.
Plump, plump, plump
Huh?
I was surprised at the sound of Sora clattering in my arms.
The way it sounds now is the correct answer, right?
I can't believe I was really failing in my treatment.
"That's right. Um..."
Unexpectedly, I don't know how to speak to Sora.
I can't say, "It's okay."
"Next time", no, no.
What are you trying to say to me that's stupid!
Well, I'm depressed, so... "Cheer up" or something?
No, no, no.
I can't think of anything to say to Sora.
What do we do?
"Giggle."
The tree monster shakes its branches toward the sora in its arms.
"Pu..."
"Giggle, giggle!"
Somehow, the wooden monster seemed to be encouraging Sora.
"Pu ~?"
Giggle!
The mighty tree monster began to lean toward Sora.
I looked at her without knowing what she wanted to do and wanted to bring the black discolored branches closer to Sora.
Um, should I get close?
Plump, plump, plump
"Giggle"
It seems to be the correct answer, so I lifted Sora close to the black discolored branches.
Sora gazes at the discoloration approaching her.
Too serious, I saw the black discoloration too
It's black after all, isn't it?
What's that?
Isn't there some part of it that's thinning out?
... yes, definitely.
This part is a little thinner in black, isn't it?
In my words, Sora is shaking in her arms.
"Wow. If you move suddenly, you'll drop it."
Sora jumped down from her arm and jumped into the branches of the wooden monster, swaying and shaking.
It's good that the depressed appearance is gone, but what happened suddenly?
I got better because I found the thinner part.
Oh, Sora's treatment worked, so the color may have faded.
Healing wasn't in vain, was it?
Plump, plump, plump
That's good.
It's the usual Sora.
Even so, only a small part of it is thinned out.
The influence of the magic circle was incredible.
"What's wrong with Sora?" It's incredibly sloppy, though. "
Lilia looked at Sora strangely.
"It seems that I was happy to be able to heal the tree monster a little." More than that, is that enough? "
The magic circle that I thought had disappeared was thin and its wreckage was left on the wall.
I watched it with interest, Arias-san.
Are you satisfied that you're here?
"Yeah, I think that's enough." Besides, it's completely gone. "
Leah looks at Lilia and tilts her neck.
For some reason, I felt uncomfortable with her smile.
Somehow, it's different than usual.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Ah, it's back to the usual smile of Lilia-san.
No.
If there's anything, you'll tell me.
What's that?
What if it's a magic circle?
Hmm, I can do it if I ask.
"Puppy"
Huh?
I held Sora up at my feet.
What's the matter?
"Pu..."
Well, I'm not in a bad mood, and there's no sign of dissatisfaction with my voice.
Or rather... how do you feel about me?
Ah, you care about that attitude?
Plump, plump, plump
"It's okay."
I was wondering what to say, but I found out.
That's a bit embarrassing.
"Puff, puff, puff"
Sora saw a tree monster as she sang.
This time, I feel I have been sued for something.
Seeing a tree monster... is that healing?
"Do you want to continue treatment?"
Perhaps Sora wants to completely cure the monster of the tree.
Plump, plump, plump
I knew it.
But what should I do?
I don't think the treatment will be finished in one more time.
I wanted to say "good" for the tree monster, but the tree monster was in this cave, which was a problem.
It would be a fuss if we were to meet somewhere else.
I can't make up my mind about this.
"Wait a minute." I'll talk to my dad. "
Plump, plump, plump
Your father... there he is.
I'm talking to Abar-san, so I think I'll wait a little bit.
Speaking of which, where's Ranki who came with you?
Oh, you were playing with Flem.
I don't know, I don't have to work.
"I'm sorry, is that the end?"
Is it over?
When I turned my gaze to Abar-san, he bowed his head to his father.
"Well, of course." Will there be an investigation from now on? "
Oh, I see.
Tree monsters and magic circles.
It's only natural that an investigation should be conducted.
"I'm sorry, but I need you to write down the magic circle as far as you can tell, okay?"
I can remember it to some extent, but can you recall the details?
It was quite detailed, wasn't it?
Especially in the corners.
That's it, but maybe we shouldn't finish the magic circle.
Nodding to your father's words.
Certainly, that magic circle was quite dangerous.
"What do you mean?"
Abar-san looks at your father with his neck tilted.
How to activate the magic circle?
A little bit?
Abar-san looks at his father strangely.
"It just came close and activated."
Really?
Abar-san nodded as his gaze turned to us.
Sure enough, when Lilia and Tanras approached, the wall glowed.
In that case, you can't complete the magic circle.
It would be tough if the magic circle on the paper was activated by mistake.
Moreover, the magic circle on the wall had an effect on my spirit.
If the magic circle on the paper had the same power, it would be really dangerous.
Can you write the circle of the magic circle and the letters and patterns separately?
Then the magic circle would not be completed, so it would not be activated.
It's quite complicated, though.
"Ok, just can Arielus and the others join us?" I don't have much time to learn, so I'm worried if I'm the only one. "
You remember Arielus better than your father or I do.
I was observing it after it remained.
When I turned my attention to Arias-san and the others, they had a slightly complicated expression.
"Of course, I'm sorry."
Arielus? Did you hate it?
Arielus shakes her head at your father's words.
It's okay.
Do you have any idea what's going on?
Do you have memories of the magic circle?
"Oh, Father."
Let's talk about Sora.
What's the matter?
"Can you come to this cave again?" Sora wants to continue treating the wooden monster. "
Your father leans his neck at my words.
Speaking of which, I didn't tell you that Sora's treatment wasn't over.
"Um, it looks like Sora's treatment didn't end once." That's why I want to continue my treatment. "
Father's gaze turned toward the trunk of the monster.
"Ah, not that way, but the branch."
Looking at the branches, he said "black" with a slightly surprised expression.
Abar. I'd like to meet the Tree Monster again in this cave, but can you do that?
Nh ~, it might be difficult to draw some people in.
Someone?
"Can you trust someone?"
"No problem." Or, no, I'm sorry. I can't say I don't have permission. "
Does somebody have a secret?
“If you can trust me, I want you to talk to me.”
Huh?
I'm surprised because my father gave me permission so suddenly.
You're usually more discreet.
The influence of the magic circle?
"Father, are you okay?"
I whispered to my father so that Abar-san wouldn't hear me.
When your father looks at me, he gently approaches your face.
"There are secrets in this village. I know the answer pretty well, so I'll be fine.”
The secret of this village?
When I see your father, he laughs happily.
Well, if you're okay.
