After lunch, we were walking through the flatlands in the woods. As a result, the queues

'I let you go earlier, so now I'll be your guard! How about Axel with you?'

'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I'll protect everyone's back with your husband! 』

'I see. If you two can protect me behind you, that's comforting.'

"'Ah...'"

"It's close to Kamiyashi City, and I was hoping to give Cecil and George some detailed directions, so thank you."

"'Ugh...! 』 』

This was the opposite of earlier because of such an exchange during the meal.

Me and my sister are in front and Saki and Baselia are in the back.

"imitate breast wasting dragon......! 」

"Listen Brave Magic......! 」

We're still trying to get along in the back, so, well, it'll be safe to keep going.

Moving on with that in mind for a while.

"Through the tunnels of these trees, you can already see the city and the Divine Tree, Mr. Axel."

Cecil said that and pointed forward.

"Already. I thought it was neat and easy to walk around here, but you were closer to the city."

"Right. The Knights of Kamiyashi, with headquarters in Kamiyashi City around here, are taking the lead in civil engineering and landscaping work."

The streets we are now walking on are well pedaled and have few irregularities. So it's a thankful place to be less tired, I thought, but it makes sense.

"The Knights of the Kamiyashi and they worked hard for me. Are you sure it's the historic Knights, made at the same time as when the Alliance began to exist? 」

Though I had just been briefed lightly by the Cecils,

"You're doing a lot of work."

"Yeah, because I'm serious about my job and it's a good bunch of knights. There are branches outside the country, and it's popular to get God's blessing for giving us the Divine Tree. He's got strength, and he's got a lot of influence in his name. If you are a magic science guild with an institute and guild headquarters on top of the Divine Tree, you are famous for its apparent impact, but the Knights of the Divine Forest feel famous for their history and their power abroad."

"I see, was it? I mean, there's a magic science guild headquarters on a tree."

I can't imagine how it looks.

... I think every time I come to a new city, I don't know much about it.

talking to Cecil, thinking, for example,

"Oh, look, I can see the trunk."

Cecil said so, slightly speeding up her legs. George, who was next door, walks early as well.

If you follow their backs like that and I go too, there's the end of the tunnel ahead. And...

"That's... the Divine Tree, Al Eden and the Divine Forest City..."

There was a huge tree as I looked up.

A number of buildings were arranged around them, but trees incomparable to them stood dignified.

"Well, that's amazing! 」

"This is the symbol of our city! 」

Cecil and George say, as they appeal to it.

"... oh, sure. Wow, this is it."

Maybe in the past, I've been looking at it from the sky, but from the ground, I didn't think it was big enough to be so overwhelmed.

"Wow, I've never seen a tree this tall before, like it's too thick to see the other side of the trunk! 」

Baselia seems surprised behind it, too. I guess because she's also the first to see it on the ground.

... Cecil said the Kamiyashi city is built around a giant tree called the Divine Tree to draw concentric circles...

The trees are big anyway at a level where the city looks small.

Sure, this could be a symbol of the city.

While I thought so, I uttered what I thought.

"Oh, but. The color of the Divine Tree is not the same as the description, it's not blue."

"Huh...? 」

To Axel's line, it was Cecil who reacted first.

"He says it's not blue... the Divine Tree keeps its new green color all the time..."

"Really? But there's no green up there."

Axel told me, I had only seen the trunk earlier, but again, I looked up the tree.

Usually, you should see blue, fresh, green leaves, and now there were only reddish brown leaves left.

"True...... right. Red leaves... do you? 」

"I wonder what it's like when it rains a lot before this, sister"

"I don't know. Although I've never seen much weather-dependent."

Or I've never seen it come in this shade.

The Divine Tree is not a normal plant in many ways, from its size to the reason it is on this earth.

Therefore, it may not be strange to come every ten years in the period of the red leaves or in the long span that I said so.

"Cecil. Is it unusual for this to happen"

"Yeah, yeah. Very rare, Mr. Axel. As I said earlier, the Divine Tree is perennial, green... at least because I've never even seen data of the Divine Tree turning red in what I've heard or looked into"

I remember being heard standing more than a hundred years after that tree was awarded. Even though I've been blue for a hundred years. Yet I can barely see the green color in the tree I see now.

"I see. Then why don't you go inside and ask the city people"

"Right. … Just in the middle of the city, there's a dojo in the neighborhood of the Divine Tree, which is our home, so you might want to ask there."

"No, this request was a delivery to that point. … so you go in that direction"

Cecil then heads with his brother and Axel to the capital, which is his own home and is showing unusual changes.
