The elder shakes his trunk in small pieces.But I didn’t try to answer.

That’s where Shannon gets after him.

It’s cold at night, isn’t it?

A powder of fire is blown from her fingertips and drifted by the wind.

The powder of fire that had not been cut off overwhelmed the elders’ branches, conveying a weak heat to the elders.

“Nuuuhhhh!? What are you doing?!”It’s going to burn! “

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t get a reply, so I thought it was just a tree.It seems to burn a lot because it’s big, right? “

“Awww, don’t you wait!I didn’t just decide to ignore it! “

“Then hurry up. Let him catch a cold while you wait for a reply.”I’ll make this forest a burning field for you. “

No, I’m not a great-grandfather… ─

“Ahh, look… my fingertips are getting so cold… I’m sorry, Ein.Almost there, that Fuorun will reply to you. “

(…… it’s such a bad smile)

His exceptional appearance captured many heterosexuals.

Shannon’s seductive smile, which would have corrupted people even without the power of attraction born to him, was directed at Ain, with a loving, unappetizing smile.

“But that’s it!” Tsubaki can’t work! “

The Elder will be burned.

… shouldn’t I just work?

No matter how many elders you say, if you work, it will save your life.

I don’t think so.If it hadn’t been for the Opal tree that the World Tree Master wanted, perhaps he would have worked to spare his life. “

Then I’ll just have to do another job.It’s no exaggeration to say that you’re foolish enough not to move because you can’t. “

Ain and Shannon can hear the voices of all you want to say.

It seems that the Fuoruns are unwilling to help the Elder.In fact, if Shannon had been thoroughly murderous, it would have been a different story… “

You’re not serious, are you?

If you’re talking about burning or not burning, I’m serious.

“… um”

“Hmm, not that!” You must be the prince!?After all, it’s a good relationship with this woman (…), so why don’t you stop it right away!Now I can’t calm down and talk about it. “

Then Shannon’s expression changed.

She coughed her cheeks softly.

She gives a pitiful expression and says in an upbeat voice.

“There’s so much to see in our relationship.Fine. I’ll put off burning it. “

“–Oh, oh…? Then what, I’m suddenly in a good mood…”Well then, I just wanted to calm you down. “

When Ein tries to pinch his words, Shannon’s fingertips are pressed against his lips.As she did so, she set foot in the lake with a light footstep.

The figure walking was as light as a fairy, so fantastic that Ein who was next to her seemed to fall in love with her.

Looking at her, she suddenly stopped on the water.

Apparently, it’s using magic. I put my feet on the surface of the water and spread ripples of water around it.

I wonder if I can get a nice reply from you after all this time.

Shannon puts his arms together on his back.

He bent his body to a curve and looked up at the elder.

“…… there’s a reason you can’t work.I can’t make any more vajra trees. “

Huh, why?

“We don’t have enough wood. No matter how much power (,,,) you put out, it’s robust and powerful, with fresh wood.”

Ein sandwiched her mouth.

What is the power of the Elder?

“That is the proof that Tsubaki has lived a long time.”—This can revitalize the power of the trees.And vice versa. You can defy the rationale of nature and use your power to wither the trees in their magic. “

According to him, it became known as the Optimum Wood.

Originally, it was not made as a material to start a fire, but it was revealed by the dwarf who had friendships in the past that it could start a powerful flame, and it became a valuable one.

“But that’s not the power of Tsubaki.”I used to slaughter all-you-can-eat Black Fuoruns and withered trees while eating magic stones….. “

“We need just the right amount of wood.”

Hmmm. With normal wood, it falls to pieces along the way.

That’s why you can’t work, right?

“I don’t think so.” Will you give me a break from burning the urn?If it’s something else, I’ll help you. “

However, I can’t think of anything that I would like to cooperate with.

Ein turned to himself and said, “What do we do?”I looked at Shannon, who asked with an irresistible expression.I shrugged my shoulders back to her and said, “I can’t help it.”

(There’s nothing I can do about it.)

At the very least, we had no choice but to find and defeat the powerful Blackfuoru.

If I had the opportunity, would I have to ask for it again?

“Recently, there have been more adventurers, and the local monsters that were hanging around will soon be crushed…”If you evolve into a named monster and grow into a handful of monsters, you’ll only be able to count them. “

“Ahh… if you ask me, I’m sure”

“Especially if you become a monster with a small population such as Blackfuoru, you can only become a Yancha.”Blackfuori, which is only strong enough to be a threat, hasn’t been around for the past few hundred years. “

As Ein thought to herself, there was nothing she could do without.

I’m not going to have to give up anymore.

Ein, who usually had a bad time giving up, began to think the same thing, but……

(- – – Nh?)

I suddenly noticed. A solution that might solve the problem of lack of wood suddenly swept my mind.

Elder

Mm, what is it?

“I want you to tell me what kind of situation the wood is going to be okay.”

“If it is a mature tree, magic power will reside.”In other words, it has to be wood that has been dried to make the houses stand.However, unless it is wood that has the appropriate magical power— “

Before the elder finished speaking, the ground next to Ein raised.

A single tree root comes from the earth and stretches above the elders to stop the movement.

What about this one?

“What…… this is……”

Elder, what do you think?

“Umuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

(It’s like a problem with that)

It’s the power of the world’s trees.

“Yes, it’s the work of the world’s trees.”We are the power of God. “

“…… It was too shocking, and I was dying.”

In addition to the reply from the elders, Ein listened to the astonishing voices of the Fuoruns and stroked his chest.

(Something happened.)

I was about to get the Vajra Wood.

The elder had uttered a somewhat disturbing word, but that would do something about it.I knew it would not be a problem, especially if Ein cooperated.

“— I’m sorry, will you slash it for me?”

That’s what the elder said, shining brightly.

“Tsubaki, don’t move too much.”–Here, from the tree. “

And he took it for granted, and brought to his side the root of the tree which Ain had produced.

Next to it, Shannon opens his mouth.

“And don’t tell anyone that I asked and that I’m here.”

Why not?

I wonder if you can understand that kind of thing.

It looked like the point of convergence was missing, but instead of nodding, the elder shook his trunk.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

On the way back, I descend from the mountains.

The badness of the road that I didn’t particularly notice when I went there greeted Ein with a difficulty of walking that was worth frowning at once when I went down.

“That’s why —, go ahead.”

Ein’s face, which he reached out to, and Shannon, who looked at the hand alternately, tilted their heads.

“I wonder if you have something you don’t look like a fool.”

“I don’t know if you call yourself a fool, but whatever you think, it’s different.”

“No matter what I think, I’m a fool, right?If not, why not? “

“So, hands. If you fall, it’s dangerous.”

Shannon was suddenly puzzled by the tenderness that had been directed at him.

It was already puzzled by the various aspects.

Unnaturally, while repeatedly blinking, take half a step back, layering your hands like a prayer and pressing them against your chest.When he turned his head suspiciously, he said, “What kind of wind blows around?”He stuck up to Ein with a shocked voice.

The moonlit and pregnant eyes were staring up at Ain.

“If you fall on a mountain road, your dress will get dirty.” It still hurts. “

“…… why is that?”

“Huh? What?”

“So! Why are you suddenly in a place like this… ahhhh!”Bakka! I’m glad, but I did it! “

(— I don’t know what it means at all)

Shannon eventually took Ein’s hand and made sure to keep his body because of the difficult mountain skin to walk on.As a result, the storm of dissatisfaction that Ein’s understanding could not catch up with was also weak.

“Okay? I’m older.”Do you even know onee-san? “

“I know… but what am I supposed to do…”

When I looked up, I could see Ain’s face smiling bitterly next to me.

… Shannon is just not used to it.She has never been accustomed to subtle purity of tenderness before she runs out on power.

Shannon was unbalanced after all.

It seems that a young girl was forced to become an adult due to her dark past…

Contrary to the beauty of the castle, Ain was exposed to the defenselessness of the heart that remained more innocent than the purity of ordinary town daughters.

After all, when Ein comes, my chest strikes fast and I can’t help it.

Now that I’m escorted, apart from the joy, I’m worried that Ein doesn’t hear my heartbeat.

(I’m so excited)

And I could hear it.

Suddenly, it was relentlessly transmitted from Ein’s arm.

When Ein looks next to him, Shannon, who is looking up at his face, turns his eyes in a panic.

At night, my hair swayed in the wind, and white porcelain skin became exposed.Although she was trying to pretend to be calm, her neck was still secretly blushing in the light of the stars.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Shannon had a fever in his palm, and he lacked calmness to the point of sweating his thin lips.

Um, you know…

Shannon opens his mouth as he tears off the hem of the dress.

It’s not like I’m nervous.

“Heartbeat and heat at hand. Which one is it?”

“Neither. And if you know it, don’t bother to say it.I’m embarrassed and I’m going to do something about it.

“I think you know, but I said it on purpose.”

“I know that, too.” Ain sometimes has a good personality (,,,,)

Without concealing her emotions, Shannon put more effort into the overlapping hands.Gyuuu, keep your hands close together so that you can’t hear the sound, and sharpen your lips while wearing a cool expression.

“I’ll put it in.” Even if you know Ein’s kindness, you don’t hesitate to spoil it. “

“Well, what’s the declaration?”

“Don’t hesitate to let me use the words you gave me.”No matter what happens, you’re on my side, right?It means you won’t betray me, so let me put it all in. “

“… your hands are soft.”

The early bell nucleus has regained its composure.

Someday, there will be enough room to look at Ein’s side without nervousness, and I will put my body on Ein’s arm with my free hand.

Don’t worry about the hem of the dress getting dirty, just go down the mountain road with the feeling that you don’t have to fall.

“— Fufu, definitely not. I’ll swallow it relentlessly.”

Shannon, who had sent the reply, had an uncompromising smile, which he had not done when he lived in the old king’s city.
