Finally, I scoop the water with my hands and drink.
Sasu gokkun
「R, really… it’ sweet」
「Sap?」
A liquid that insects love to drink.
It’s no wonder there’s so much sap considering the size of this tree.
The method of creating the sap is…
Using the water and air obtained from roots and the surface as ingredients, the leaves photosynthesize using solar energy, producing carbon dioxide and sugar.
So, when the sugar moves inside the tree, it comes out on the surface, creating sap.
When considering that, it’s not strange that it’s sweet.
It’s sugar after all.
「It’s the sap, after all」
「That’s probably it」
「Deshudeshu~」
But why… is the sap flowing out?
The sap is certainly flowing in plants, but this is overflowing.
From what I can see, Virgo may have been attacking places where the sap was flowing.
It’s as if he was destroying it intentionally and scattering the sap.
「N?」
The next moment.
I could feel faint numbing on my hand with which I picked up the sap.
A bad feeling.
I noticed.
S, shit.
「Everyone, quickly separate from the liquid. Move on the land!」
「Nu, leave it to me」
「Deshu~」
Zaza
En-san and Ado quickly move away from the sap.
Right after that…
Biribiribiri!
Instantly, smoke fills the surroundings.
Black smoke emerges from the place where we had been just a moment ago.
The sap burns, releasing a sweet smell.
「Virgo sent lightning through the sap」
「That was close deshu~」
「Nu, as expected of Lord. Such awarness」
「Just a luck」
Well, it was because I felt something strange.
Perhaps Virgo sent a faint lightning as a test first.
To find out how much force he should use.
If he didn’t do that, we would get hit.
Now then.
I hope that Aisha didn’t receive any damage from that attack…
While anxious, I hoped for her safety.
Zaza zaza zaza
We advance through the huge tree with the lingering sweet scent.
Looking at the passing scenery, there are places with cuts.
Aisha and Virgo may be moving while exchanging blows.
