I see a huge tree in front of me. A huge tree emitting a faint light. I had never seen such a large tree before.
The elves, including Sileva, cheered that they had been able to defeat the demons. Then they went straight to the spirit tree. They called out to the spirits, perhaps calling out to them.
But I could see the translucent being shaking its head. I wonder why. Sireba and the others have puzzled expressions on their faces.
'...... this, the spirit tree, has no more power.'
Frene, the only spirit possessing the power to speak in this place, threw such words.
He said that this genie tree has no more power.
It is so mysterious, but it has no power anymore? This tree that is so powerful, has such presence, and exudes an aura of being different from other trees? I was surprised to hear Frenet's words. How could it be so powerful, when it seems to be so powerful?
'Lerunda, take a closer look. Feel its magic power."
Frene said so, and I look at the tree while trying to see the magic power as I was told. I look at the ...... magical power, the collective magical power of the spirit tree. Surely ...... something is weak and feeble? Is it going downwards, or is it, what? In the soil? Is it connected to the earth, no, something else?
I look at the destination of that magic power. Is that the demon I just defeated there? I mean, this is .......
...... that demon?"
Yes, that's right. That demon was offering to negotiate with the ...... elves. And then he ate the sacrifices. But in the background, it was taking the magical power of the spirit tree... from the earth.
Magic power. They were stealing the magical power of the tree of spirits.
What? The spirit who has a contract with you did not say anything about such a thing.
It's true. The first time, this demon didn't do such a thing. He was trying to make the elves let their guard down. That was part of the reason why that demon was gaining power. It was so strong that it could easily defeat the elves," Frenet said.
Frene said.
Frene jumped out of the spirit tree. It was a spirit that had grown up in the genie tree. That is probably why he knew better than anyone else what the situation was like at the genie tree.
Then ...... then, Spirit-sama.
I'm sure this tree has lost its power. The actuality is that the tree is not only a great deal more powerful, but it's also a lot less expensive. The tree is a very important part of the world.
But ...... how can it be when there is not even a host tree for it?
A lodestar? What is a lodestar? When the genie tree is not yet annihilated, how can it be managed? Frankly speaking, without such knowledge, I don't know. I looked at Mr. Lan, but he was shaking his head, as if he didn't know either.
I know that you don't have the ...... spirit tree, but there may be something you can do about that. I know that you don't have the lodgings right now, but you might be able to get rid of them. No, we can work it out."
Frenet said, "No, we'll figure it out. What is a lodestar? Can we do something with it?
My head was spinning. And how could I say that I could do something about something that Sireva had thought was out of my control?
What do you mean, "What can be done about it?"
Frene said and turned to me.
If I had the tree of the spirit tree, I could have left this place. If only we had the abode of the spirit tree at the time of its rebirth. The spirits could stay there. But your village had just lost that lodging tree. So even if that demon was there, it could not act. But now you have Lelunda."
What?"
I shouted unintentionally.
Frene is looking at me. He is mentioning my name. That's why everyone is looking at me. Why is he saying my name?
Lelunda is very, very good with spirits. And I have a lot of magical power. The reason I was able to jump out of the spirit tree and recover my power like this is because Lerunda gave me magic power. And because Lerunda was compatible with me as a wind spirit. But no matter how compatible we are with each other, we can't recover this much magic. Lelunda is compatible with the magic of spirits and spirit trees. So I think Lerunda can probably interfere with the spirit tree. So we can manage."
I have magical power that is compatible with spirits, apparently. I don't feel that way. Suddenly being told such a thing confuses me.
Frene looked at me and laughed.
'---- Lelunda, I need you to help the genie tree and the genie.'
I nodded at those words.
If I could do something about this problem, I would do anything.
Thank you, Lerunda. Go to the genie tree: ......."
I did as Frene asked and walked up to the tree.
When I reached the foot of the tree, Frene said, "Put your magic into it and think about it.
Put all your magic power into it, as hard as you can.
Hearing these words, I reached for the tree.
------ girl and the spirit tree 1
(The girl, who is probably a child of God, is facing the spirit tree. The girl nodded to the words of the contracted spirit)
