Egret

Fluvi was then completely energized.

The young Wyvern, who had been bitten, wandered around with a whirlwind as if he had been sobbing without energy.

Says the grumpy Baikal, too, with a blurry look at him.

The rest of the group, who had clearly confirmed their health, relaxed and received a heartfelt message.

“Actually, I was worried it might go wrong. Now I'm a little relieved. ”

Sage murmurs with a sigh of relief.

“You must have been worried sick. ”

“Yes, but I haven't taken care of it much. So, uh, we've been together for a while, I guess. ”

It was Baikal who mainly took care of Fluvi, but in the meantime, she was beautiful to everyone while traveling with her.

Wyvern, who had no objection to people, flirted with people everywhere. I even got something to eat and carried around in my arms.

Since joining the group, Fluvi has quickly grown his presence.

Now that I became a mascot of the knights, I was worried about his injuries without anyone knowing.

Having regained a healthy appearance, Wyvern jumped around and showed off his presence as before.

Can I go now?

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned towards the cactus.

It was as if I was ready to leave.

“Where are you going? ”

"Ah, Mola. I want to be alone. Please step aside.

“And it turns out you were a millennial tree. It's a little different from a normal cactus. What are you walking around for? ”

"Have you seen plants live for a purpose? Just living.

The Cactus replied coldly.

I scratched the ball nicely only after asking about the attitude that seemed so simple.

“Well, he does. Anyway, thank you for your help. ”

"Onya."

Then, someone opens their mouth again to the cactus who starts walking on the sand.

“Acuminata!"

……?

It was Abel.

As he approaches the standing cactus, he opens his mouth again.

“Unless it's the right place to go. ”

A polite request was followed by a short deep breath in between.

“Won't you come with us? ”

"Together" ……?

The cactus hesitated to mention that he had not thought at all.

In fact, it was the first suggestion I had heard from people over the years.

It was a vast oak that was curious and could not pass through the sick. It was also a living creature of reason, although it was a plant, so loneliness burned well.

On the other hand, I often encountered a crowd that was trying to capture or abuse myself, and I was afraid of people.

When the two completely contradictory traits of pro-social character and fear coexisted in the mind for many years, the cactus was easily exhausted.

Now it was time to enjoy the sun because it was cloudy in the dry sand dunes.

“Alturke needs a new resident. ”

Alturke? Aang. You're the leader of the newly created Turkey.

“You call it gambling, but your flowers can heal illnesses that are hard to heal, so you can give hope to all the deserters. ”

The cactus was as quiet as a honey-eaten mute on a strange word for hope.

It was a combination of words that I never thought fit in with myself.

Abel wedged there.

“Please be the guardian of Turke. ”

"Phew. I feel like my heart is stopping because I'm stranger.

“…… Do you have a heart in the subject of plants? ”

Baikal murmured with an outrageous expression, but the cactus replied as if she were a teenage girl.

Obeim until the Guardian. Naran Tree, Fragile Tree.

“We will protect you from danger, too. I promise."

"A promise made with the last descendants of the Desert tribe is a bit attractive. It's not a trap, is it?

When the cactus shows a suspicious attitude, Abel's Spirit Turkey replies boldly instead.

“Abel, keep your promise! I can't sell a trap because I'm stupid. ”

“...... Turkey, that's not pride. ”

In fact, Abel couldn't help but sigh as he dug a trap and heard a foolish noise from his spirit.

"But ‘acuminata’ is not my name.

“Yes?”

The original name is much more than that. Not enough for humans to remember.

Cactus said every plant has a natural name.

The name of a plant is not named or inherited by anyone.

From the seeds bearing the life, he already had his own name.

It was like being born with different fingerprints on your fingers from the moment you were born.

And his natural name was so long that he could not organize it all in one breath.

Cactus said that if he wrote his name in a book, he would still be able to fill a thick dictionary with words.

But you have a short name, right? Well, let's just call it an accuminata.

“It doesn't mean it is. ”

"You're a real fool, aren't you?

Having listened carefully to the story of the Cactus, Abel spits on the cough.

"Appointing a title means accepting Scout's offer. Egan?

“Ah.”

Hey, I feel really friendly! So what's your name?

He kept his mouth shut on the face of the cactus, and then smiled brightly.

“This is Abel Turke. ”

* * *

The search boat, which had simply set out to get flowers, returned to Alturke with Acuminata.

Residents' reactions to moving and talking cactus were hot.

“Great Cactus! ”

“Isn't it stinging? Can I touch it? ”

“What do you say when you don't have a mouth? Wow, do you talk shit like a sandworm? ”

'Cause I don't have a poop. I don't shit.

It was particularly popular with children. Even in the eyes of Demibeast children with fox ears and tails, Acuminata was quite unique and wondrous.

The Cactus was busy dealing with the attention of the children who came and came.

“You look like you're having fun. ”

“Yes. I doubt it until I get to the entrance here. ”

The cactus even deliberately changed the spines to prevent children hanging around them from getting hurt.

It was a millennium tree that had lived as a spiritual object for many years, but it had never received as much attention at once as it does now.

Even when I helped the wounded, I sneaked in and absorbed the blood they shed, and I gave them flowers only, and I used to leave like a mirage alone.

The cactus was very happy just because it could be mixed without worrying about people.

Isn't that weird if you don't doubt it? You've been running away as long as I have. Just live like this for a hundred years. Suspicious Disease Coming.

“But you believed in him and followed him? If I had been running away from humans for over a thousand years, I wouldn't have believed it. ”

"Honestly, you didn't believe it all. I believed in a man who was loved by nature.

Acumenata recognized the movement of nature that was guarding Judas' side.

When they first came, it was his fault to break the line.

Just as the trees did not try to resist in front of the harsh storms, so did Acuminata.

"Nature doesn't tell lies.

It implied many meanings.

Finally, Acumenata did not mention it any more.

It was a consideration for the contractor of the Spirit King who didn't want to reveal it very much.

Judas, who stayed in Alturke for a few more days until Fluvi recovered from his health and watched the lives of the inhabitants mixing in harmony, thanked Abel when he left.

“I really admired you. I've learned so much here. ”

“Yes, yes? No, it's not like that. I can't believe it.”

Abel, who had shown himself to be a formidable desert tribesman, returned to the old timid child as soon as he stood before Judas.

“I'll hear from you later. ”

It was as if I had come to my friend's house and left.

After stopping, Abel lowered his head comfortably, releasing a stiff position within a few minutes.

“I look forward to your arrival at any time. ”

It was Abel himself who was really grateful.

The warmth spread like a water over a gray pupil.

“... Judas. ”

It was a greeting as a friend.

Sage looked at it curiously because it was rarely seen in a military relationship devoted to the sword.

"It's not just one relationship between people. ’

Parents, children, owners, servants, and friends were all quite new concepts for Sage, who only thought that the line was divided.

When I think about it, I wasn't just talking to my brother Judas.

Sometimes I followed him like a parent and sometimes I felt like I was treating him like a teacher or superior.

While Sage was looking at the two men and thinking more flexibly about their relationship, Abel asked Turkey to bring a number of small, well-packaged boxes.

“Oh, I have a gift for you. ”

Turkey, who carried the crates in his arms, handed them over one by one.

Baikal, who took my share of the box, opened it with a big smile.

“Shit. What are you giving me all this for? ”

After expecting my heart and checking the contents of the box, Baikal forgot to say a few words.

“No way this came from a sandworm. ”

“Accessories made by processing white rubies. It's pure jewelry, so if you grant it a magic enchant, it will be very effective. ”

Elegantly crafted with necklaces, rings and bracelets, the white ruby glitters like a star.

The color and shape were very subtle and beautiful, but the face of the group who knew the process of obtaining hardened awkwardly.

Judas, the only one who accepted it irresistibly, took out an accessory that was neatly wrapped in a box of his own.

A pin brooch with white feathers finely carved to a soft finish.

"Backrow."

Judas, who recalled the alias given at the time of Lubach, smiled with a brooch in his hand.

The alias‘ Emperor White ’, which was initially used as a means of ridicule, was completely reversed by the time he graduated.

An elegant and beautiful bird shining in silver.

Like a flying backdrop with wide wings, he suddenly emerged.

No one now regarded the White Crown as a mockery. I didn't even dare to think about it.

Since it was Abel who watched the series of proceedings, the white feathers symbolized the reverence for the noble backyard.

Judas was willing to accept it.

He ordered a new disguise enchant to be placed on Broccia instead of the hat he was wearing. And first I put it on my clothes.

When his boss set an example, the rest of the group also wore jewelry that was given to him.

“You'll find it useful in the future. Thank you, Abel. ”

It's a process. It shines neater and more brilliant than any jewel.

What Edan received was an ornament that could be attached to a sword, and in the case of Cristina, it was a bracelet.

Baikal, whose egg had received a thick ring, could not reach into his hand and pondered over Fluby's necklace.

With sincere gratitude, finally they left Alturke.
