Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"No, I'm not a god or a demon god, I'm just a town mum --"

"Well, isn't it good? More about the world tree than that."

"............... right"

When I realized, though Nike had told me, to be honest, Waltz was getting used to being called a demon or goddess. More importantly, because dealing with the fact that the world tree was about to fall was a top priority...... Whatever Waltz might say to anyone, he seems to have decided not to care for it for now.

And she turned to her people and asked them this question.

"Well... now the choice before us is to take down the world tree or not, in large part these two? Which one would we all do? By the way, I'm either good, right?

In response to that inquiry, all Mid-Eden officials on the spot seemed seriously troubled. Apparently it was not easy to make a decision as to which option to take would be appropriate for those living in this land.

Among other things, the first person to respond to Waltz's inquiry was a hunter who was now in the seat of a senior official within the Mid-Eden government.

"I suppose it would be reasonable to ask the people of this country their opinions... But the answer to that question is probably" maintain the status quo "?

"Yep... when I get your opinion, almost certainly, I think it will return that way, too. No matter how persuasive you are...... even if you explain that you may find yourself in the same situation in the near future, those who have lived in this land for a long time will be against defeating the world tree. Well, now that we're in a state of havoc with the Alborosa government, you won't get a decent answer back if you ask."

With that said, until the other day, Waltz turns his gaze to a woman calling herself the "Tree Guardian” who was trying to defeat the world tree herself.

Then Nike, who was ahead of him, smiled for some reason, and then began to say this.

"Don't guide me. As I said earlier, the world tree has fallen, and it's not doomed."

In contrast, Waltz points out.

"Well, maybe you're good, huh? Because there's so much ahead of me that I can't see the end of my life, and I'm sure one day I'll see the world tree I knocked down grow out of the ground again and become a big tree. But what about the people who only have the general length of life that makes up the majority of the people in town? Maybe over the next few generations, I'll be born and die without knowing what the world tree looks like... maybe I'll even forget that there was a world tree growing here? That's the same thing... depending on the viewpoint, the world tree will be gone forever?

"Hmm...... So you're gonna do something about it without defeating the world tree? The rest, as I said earlier, is both good."

"We haven't decided yet, have we?... No, it's not about indecision, is it? For once, I'm going to think about it so much..."

And since I said no...... Waltz also started talking about another option in front of his buddies who were just saying it was indecisive.

"Therefore, for once, from a neutral standpoint, I will also say about the benefits of defeating the world tree... there are things that are easier to defeat than to take measures to prevent the world tree from falling. Besides, you don't have to prepare something to replace" bugs "... and then, in the long run, if you knock down a world tree, it should be a long way ahead of you to have the same commotion as this one, so if you think about the lives of the people who live in this land, it might be more geographically stable to knock them down? You let the bugs do it, didn't you? Forest food damage around. Does it mean that the land will be stable... and that the forest around the world trees will not be devoured by the worms?

With that said, Waltz reminds me of the woods around town that are now worn out and no longer green. At that time, she seemed to recall those who had been attacked and sacrificed by the worms, but did not point that out and decided to leave it for now. Or maybe I had a feeling Nike would explain the situation about why.

Then, what should I say…. Nike started talking about the situation.

"I did the rest, or... Hmm. Exactly. The worms are living worms, even though they are made of the rest. Approximately, they adjust to be a certain number, so if the number decreases, they try to reproduce and increase, and if they increase too much, they eat together and reduce the number. And in this one case, the bugs, feeling a sharp decline in numbers, probably needed massive amounts of food for reproduction. As a result, the forest outside the world tree was fed.... some people and demons may have been sacrificed. I'm sorry about that. But the answer is, why did the numbers suddenly go down? In the long time that the rest of us have lived with the world tree, things like this have never happened..."

When I heard Nike say ——

…………

—— Mid-Eden people silent with a seemingly difficult look. I'm not sure why I'm familiar with it, but everyone seemed to hold their heads with frowns, out of sight of Nike. If you want to analogize that, it's as if you remember...

Their World Tree Conference will also continue.
