I wanted to bring Sanya to life with my [equivalent exchange].

However, [Equivalent Exchange] did not activate.

No matter how much magic power you have, it may not be worth your life.

Then, I decided to call my soul with Bethe's [Inspiration].

"Sanya has died protecting her husband. I think he was satisfied. So let him rest in peace."

I can't say anything if Hannah says so.

I'm sorry to Hanna, I don't know what to do.

I decided to set up Sanya's tomb on his homeland.

"I don't have any attachment to that land. So, beside Algria, where I remember my husband ..."

At the request of Hannah, he set up Sanya's tomb on the hill near Algria.

There is no gravestone like in Japan. It's a grave just piled up stones.

(Sanya was your sacrifice)

(……I know it)

(That's good)

Black fog is a heavy voice, not a usual light one.

I haven't talked much since the fight against Kusojiji.

Maybe you consider me a bad guy.

I can't deny it.

"Sanya ... I sleep peacefully ..."

"I'm sorry……"

"..."

"If I have not lost my calmness ..."

"It's not my husband. That Temas killed Sanya!"

"But--"

"Don't tell me any more; Sanya will be sad! She died on her own initiative as her husband's shield! She died fine as a proud wolf beast! …… ”

Even while shedding tears, I can respect Hannah's strength who never leaves my gaze.

On the other hand, if you say shit-jijiji in front of me as an unnatural figure lacking calmness ... there is only embarrassment and regret.

If he had been more calm, he would not have died.

It's all my fault.

"Master ... Hannah ..."

He did bad things for Canaan.

I don't know how to get rid of everyone.

"Master, if you can think of Sanya, I have a request!"

"... Please tell me"

"Let me help defeat Temas!"

"that is……"

"I want to avenge Sanya with my hands!"

"... Okay! Let's defeat Kusojiji and Temas together!"

"Yes!"

"Master, Hannah! I am a friend! I will defeat Temas together!"

Hanna and I look at each other and smile to Canaan, of course! Say

I could do something more important than my revenge.

My revenge is tiny.

What you do is the same, but the implications are completely different.

Resolve Sanya's remorse.

Our revenge starts here!

"Sana, look at me. I'll definitely defeat Kusojiji!"

"Sanya, I will also defeat Temas! So sleep peacefully."

"Mr. Sanya, it was a short time, but the time I got in touch with you was very fun. I'm going to bring up my husband and Hanna to defeat Temas, so please watch it."

We vowed to Sanya to figure out what to do to defeat Kusojizi.

"To be honest, I think even the level 300 monster, the Emperor Dragon, at the top of the monsters in the Wolf Forest, is a monster."

"Well, now I and Hanna can't beat even two people ..."

As Hannah and Canaan say.

We have to think about what we need to do to defeat Kusojiji and set goals.

"I figured out how to be stronger."

"..."

"Can you get stronger if you defeat a strong guy?"

"So you came to me?"

"I thought Anthia knew where to find strong demons."

I didn't think there was a monster more than the Emperor Dragon.

But once I knew there was something like Anthia or Kusojizi, I thought there was a demon or something that was the food to reach that level.

"... Okay. Let's tell where strong monsters are."

"Is it true? Thank you!"

"Thank you, Anthia!"

When I bowed to Antia, Canaan and Hannah bowed and bowed.

"It's quick to say thanks. Only a few go to that place and come back. Not all of the three creatures will return."

"I don't care! We have to be stronger!"

""Please!!""

We were taken to the back of the forest by Antia.

Along the way, there was an elf settlement, and we were allowed to stay there, but Elf's religion to Antia was tremendous.

The first time I saw Anthia, I was terrified, as I was lying on the ground like a five-point throw.

"I want to meet an elder.

"Yes, yes!"

When one of the elves told Anthia, we were led to the elder's house.

The elven elder came out of the house and cast five, and by that time he was laughing more than surprised.

"I want you and me to stay overnight tonight."

"Of course! There is no such thing as a fine residence where you can stay with the founder, but we will do our best hospitality."

"Um, sorry."

Elders seem to be only twenty at any rate.

I haven't seen an old man in this elven village.

If an old man has a young appearance like the elder in front of him, he will not know how old he is.

The elder also gave us a polite tone.

Anthia is another room, but we three use one room.

At first it was a room for each person, but I asked him to do that and changed it.

"I heard that the elves were a grumpy race, but the elders were kind."

"Probably because Anthia came together. What would have happened if we had come to this settlement alone?"

Certainly, the religion to Anthia seemed odd.

Hannah seems to have noticed that some of the elves were hostile to us.

Hannah is more sensitive than Canaan.

Soon it was night.

The elven elder says he will have a banquet because of Anthia, so I decided to cook.

"What makes a guest do that ..."

"Please think it's a souvenir from a customer"

The elder declined only once, but accepted more.

I guess it was a social refusal.

The elves prepared a roasted black crow caterpillar monster.

I thought the elf was surprisingly wild.

It looks like Canaan and Hanna were very upset next to me.

Well, it may be hard to eat if you are not used to it because it is a roasted caterpillar of the size of a person.

I'm fine.

If it's food, it's a caterpillar or a cockroach.

Because it's food.

The dishes I prepare are iron canceler dishes.

Raw, boiled, baked, and other ingredients.

It's hard to peel the shell because the shell is as hard as Adamantite, but that's where my skills come in.

Peel the shells on the raw feet using [peeling].

It is versatile to be peeled off the shell, not the skin.

This is eaten with crab vinegar.

It was quite difficult for this crab vinegar to be made by a songwriter.

I usually learn how to make something that I have made in Japan, but I have never made crab vinegar.

It was a long and painful journey to recreate the crab vinegar.

Crab vinegar was made from rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and kelp and bonito broth.

If you hadn't been to the port town, you wouldn't have been able to stock kelp and bonito.

Crab vinegar is completed by mixing rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, sake and soup stock in the ratio of 1,1,1,1,1,5.

I don't know if this is real crab vinegar, but I think it's delicious.

"This is ... Is it an iron canceler?"

"That's true, iron canceler feet!"

The elf makes a noise.

It is said that iron cancelers are very rare as ingredients because they are hard and cannot be hunted.

Sure, iron cancellers had a hard time cutting hard black fog.

However, it is surprisingly easy to cut it with a blade in a small gap such as a joint.

"U, delicious!"

"What a mellow taste!"

Elves praise the sashimi of Iron Cancer.

"This sauce matches the meat of Iron Cancer again!"

Yeah, yeah. Ok, next time eat the crab!

"What, this is also sweet and delicious!"

"That's true! It goes well with the sauce and this is also delicious!"

Hahaha, good or good. Last is the grilled crab!

Grilled crabs are eaten in a sauce made of crab miso and soup stock.

"What a mellow taste!"

I just heard that.

"It's too delicious! I didn't know there was such food! It's the first delicious thing I've lived for 500 years!"

I had no plans to say so, but I'll give you this!

"This is ... what's this smell? It's a very appetizing smell ...?

"Master, is this cheese?"

"Oh, that's crab gratin. I'm wrapping it with crab miso and white sauce, then putting cheese and breadcrumbs on it and baking it, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's very delicious!

"The dishes of tsukuru are good"

"Anthia, isn't the elf eating so good?"

At least you should think a bit more about cooking black crow with salt alone.

It smells burnt and most of all, it's baked to the point where the creaminess is messed up.

It was a rough dish rather than exciting.

I think it was more creamy if it was baked with medium rare, but would it hurt my stomach?

We were greeted by the Elves and we left early the next morning.

Many elves said they would come again when they left the village.

Apparently, I liked the last night's crab exhaustion.

Did some great man say that grabbing the stomach is the way to grab a person's heart?

Well, my words.

I'm not sleeping because the banquet continued until morning.

Canaan seemed to have slept as soon as she was full, but Hannah stayed with me until the end.

He told Hannah to sleep, but said he couldn't sleep with his master awake.

I want to hear that word to Canaan who fell asleep early.

But if you want to sleep, just sleep as you like. You don't have to follow me.

Antia says he is going to Taiki, which is right next to the village.

The tree was so big.

Probably, the height is more than 100 meters, and the thickness of the trunk is more than 20 meters directly.

"But there was such a huge tree in such a place. It seems that you can not see it unless you approach it, but is it a barrier to cognitive impairment?"

"This tree is a world tree. This world is kept because of this world tree."

"This is the world tree ..."

"The world tree known only in fairy tales ... it really happened ..."

Hannah and Canaan were surprised at the world tree.

It's the first phrase I've ever heard from abducted from Japan.

"The elves in this forest are here to protect this world tree."

"Will the elves go out of that settlement?"

"Some go out, but we have to overcome the challenges that the creatures are going to see now, about one in thousands of years."

It's a long story.

"Speaking of that, I only had to enter alone about a hundred years ago ..."

Do you not manage! ?

There was a small hole in the base of a large tree called the world tree.

No, a small hole is bad.

Although it is a small hole from a large tree, it is so large that three people can enter it side by side.

"This hole says, 'I'm inviting the world tree.'"

Antia stops in front of the hole and begins explaining.

"Once you enter, you can't come out unless you reach the bottom."

According to Anthia, going to the bottom is a trial and you have to overcome it.

If they can't get through the ordeals, they won't be out for hundreds or thousands of years.

It seems that some people come out after hundreds of years because the elves are originally a test to reach heights.

It is conceivable that I of the race will end its life in the world tree.

If you were wondering what to eat before that, you would not die hungry if you were hungry in Invitation to the World Tree.

However, he says that there is a possibility (…) that if he overcomes the test of “Invitation of the World Tree,” he will be able to gain the strength to compete against that fuss.

The possibility is subtle.

"... Canaan, Hannah. I'm going! They're waiting in Algria."

"Canaan will follow you forever!"

"It's the same with Hannah! And I have to be stronger to avenge Sanya!"

I know their determination is real.

But is Hannah thinking about fighting Sanya's enemies anyway, can he take Canaan?

"Canaan has no reason to fight. There's no need to fight Kusozyji just because I'm a slave."

"Master! That's not too much! Canaan would have died long before there was no master, so it is Canaan's mission to fight for her!"

Hunsu and Canaan sighing to me. good kid.

"Okay, let's go with Canaan!"

"Don't forget Hanna!"

"Oh, Hannah is the same."

"Hannah, let's serve your master as long as you live!"

"Yes, only for life!"

...... No, say that in my absence. It's embarrassing to be told in front of you.

"The trial does not welcome the creatures; it is for dropping out."

Don't be so upset when you say that.

"But those who survive the test will definitely gain strength."

"I go to get power! I don't know what's waiting, but I'll survive and get power!"

"I will also face the challenge with my whole body for the master!"

"Even if I fall into hell, I'll do it!"

We thanked Antia and went into the hole.

And we challenge "invitation of world tree" and show power by all means!

I entered the hole and was hit by a strange feeling of floating.

However, there is no danger because [wild intuition] does not tell me anything.

"Muh? ... Canaan? Hanna? Where?"

I was alone in the darkness when I thought that Canaan and Hanna had disappeared.

I don't even know if it's wide or narrow in a dark space.

I stood in an infinite dark space where there was no wall even if I activated the skill [Night Vision].

I look around carefully, but there are no Canaan and Hannah, and I don't know where I am.

This might be the test of "Invitation of the World Tree".

"I've come often, from another world"

I'm prepared for the voice that sounds in my head, not from my ears.

"... Do you know I'm a different world?"

"I am the one who supports this world. That's why I know what happened in this world. ''

Either way, the world tree is supporting the world, or if the people who live in the world tree support the world, I will not tell me anyway.

However, if you think that you got into the hole of the world tree, you can separate from Canaan and Hanna and you can hear a strange voice, it is horror if you think normally.

"What should I call you?"

"I am an ent. Those who know me call it so. "

"Ento, I'm Tsukuru. Call me."

"This is my first time to introduce myself. interesting"

"It's all about having fun. By the way, where did the two of you who entered the world tree with me go?"

"If you get over the ordeal, you will meet"

In other words, it's about taking the trials individually.

"I see. I'm in a hurry. I'll ask for trials and things!"

"I'll do it. Overcoming the challenges will open the way. However, there is no test that can be easily overcome. "

"I want to do that!"

Canaan and Hannah are probably being tested individually.

If you look for them now, you won't be able to find them, and they've also decided to take on this "Invitation to the World Tree," and believe they'll do something.

"Tsukuru, what is your power?

"My power?"

The thing that comes to mind when I hear my power is ... black fog.

I don't say that I'm going to get too far, but I'm grateful to Kurogiri.

Without Black Mist, the fight against Anthia and Kusojiji would have ended in an instant.

"Really. Then ... "

A wooden sword falls in front of me and makes a loud noise and rolls on the ground.

"Do you want me to swing a wooden sword?"

"Shake 1000 times without resting"

Is it enough to shake just a thousand times?

Not really ... what are you plotting?

(Hey, what do you think Ent is planning?)

(……)

(Hey, what happened? ... Hey, black fog !?)

"The sword is silent. Let Onusi stand alone in the trials. ''

Chic, was the black fog sealed?

What I do is fine.

"As I said, shake it a thousand times in a row. If you take a rest or drop it, the number will be reset so be careful. '

"Hey, thank you for the precautions."

Pick up the wooden sword at your feet.

… Why is it written “World Tree”? I want to ask what the story is. And it's written in kanji!

It has become a strange tension. Is this part of the trial?

"Hah, if you care, you lose .... or shake, one, two ..."

I'm not sure because I've never touched a wooden sword, but it's much lighter than black fog.

Although it is a little longer, it probably weighs only about 1 kilogram, so there's no need for a thousand swings.

Considering that I had shaken black fog more than a thousand times every day, it was quite easy.

"Ten, eleven, twelve ... twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven ... forty, forty-one, forty-two ..."

No way ...

"99, hundred ..."

That's right ...

"Hundred and fifty……"

This wooden sword is heavy. no doubt.

It is already three times, or even four times heavier than the first time.

Apparently it gets heavier with each shake.

I didn't feel it at first, but now I can see that it gets heavier as I shake.

Ent bastard, how far are you going to make it heavier?

"200, 211, 220 ..."

It gets heavier at acceleration.

"Three hundred, three hundred one, three hundred two ..."

Hey, it's already over ten kilograms.

About 20 kilograms?

You know ... the weight that increases each time you shake it gradually increases.

I'll do it. How many kilograms do you get when you shake a thousand times?

"500, 501, , ..."

Sorry. One hundred and fifty kilograms? I don't know anymore ...

"Seven hundred happily, Nanaahyapuugupo"

I don't know.

I dropped my wooden sword.

"Hohoho, I did my best, but I started over."

"How heavy is this?"

"Well ... I forgot."

Damn it!

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Where is this?"

I am in a dark space.

Where are your husband and Hannah?

"Master or Hannah?"

I called, but there was no reply.

"I've come often, seekers of trials"

"Hey? Who?"

It's completely dark so I don't know if anyone is there.

However, there is no reaction of magic nearby, so we know that no one is there.

"I am an ent. Those who know me call it so. "

"What is Ent trying?"

"That's it. Imposing my trials ”

"What happened to her husband and Hannah?"

"Trial is a trial that takes place alone. You will meet if you overcome the ordeal. '

If everyone overcomes the challenge, right?

"I ask you. What is your specialty?

What am I good at?

... I thought I didn't have such a thing.

But there is only one thing my husband praise.

It's ... of course, eating!

"... is that what you are good at?

"Huh? I didn't say anything?"

"If you think strongly, you will understand me"

That's right. A little embarrassed.

But the master saw me eat and said, "I eat Canaan deliciously, and I like it because I eat it comfortably!"

“……”

So I can't beat anyone to eat!

Don't lose!

"... It's a test for you"

Tables and chairs and something hidden by a dome cover appeared in front of me.

Did you eat over the food inside the dome cover and have you overcome the challenge?

"I serve four kinds of dishes. Eat it all. '

"Is that OK?"

"However, they eat their food before the hourglass completely falls. The hourglass is reset one by one. "

An hourglass appeared beside the dome cover.

Only one item has come out, will the next one come out if I eat the food in front of me?

"What if I couldn't eat ...?"

"I can challenge as many times as I want. But if your heart breaks, that's it. "

"I'll do my best!"

"The hourglass starts moving from where you sit. Sit down when you're ready. "

It is my specialty!

I will definitely overcome this ordeal!

But do you exercise to reduce your stomach just in case?

"Well, ready!"

Now, the actual food (battle) has started!

The hourglass began to fall when I sat in the chair.

Reach for the dome cover.

"Gokukuri"

What came out of the dome cover was a heap of rice dishes.

I know rice, but it also contains something whitish and green leafy vegetables.

Leaf vegetables smell a little hard.

And what is this white round thing?

The amount is ... about three kilograms? It is heavily heavy.

"This is Egg Rice of Death Ant. Now, eat it. "

"Hey? ... Death ant? Egg? ... Huh?"

An ant ... is that ant? That egg? Is um what you can eat?

"I should be relieved. I don't use poisonous or indigestible materials. '

Even if you say that ... it's an ant egg ... it's a bit harsh ...

"Looking at time will make you run out of time"

"Hah !?"

That's right. In time, oh, half of the sand has already fallen.

She seems to have been thinking for quite a while.

But I still have the courage to eat. What should I do! ?

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"here……"

I am a wolf beast, so my vision is never closed in the dark.

However, this space has no visibility.

Where exactly is this?

And where are your husband and Canaan?

"I've come often, seekers of trials"

"Who? Who ?!"

There is no smell. No sound. But is there something?

What is it? What's around me?

"I am an ent. Those who know me call it so. "

Ent ...

"I will put you on trial"

"A trial ... Um ... where are your husband and Canaan?"

"Trial is a trial that takes place alone. You will meet if you overcome the ordeal. '

"... Okay, please try!"

"I ask you. What is your specialty?

My ... good thing?

I never thought about it.

What am I good at?

In occupation, it is a way of fighting using the body.

But ... I think I'm patient, as my husband said, "Hannah is patient."

When he was young, his parents were killed, he was treated like an object by Fuzel, and his sister was taken hostage.

I was happy in my life when I was able to work for the Countess of Abbas and after being a slave to my husband.

Although Sanya died, Sanya should have had a good time at the end with the help of her husband.

But what I am proud of today.

That is ... absolute loyalty to your master!

I'm willing to die like Sanya for my husband!

"... is that what Hannah is good at?"

"Huh? Master?"

He said that the one who had just called Ent could meet if he could overcome the ordeal.

However, there is a master in front of me.

what do you mean?

"Hanna, I trust you. You trust me, right?"

"Of course! I serve everything for my husband!"

"Can I do anything for me?"

"Yes, I will do anything for my husband!"

Yes, I can do anything for my husband!

"Sister, don't be fooled! That's not your master!"

"What? ... Sana !?"

Why is Sanya ... Sanya is dead ...

What do you mean?

"Sister, it's not my master, so don't be fooled."

"What are you talking about? This is my master. It smells like my master!"

This smell is definitely the master's.

This smell alone does not make any mistake!

"Hannah, that's not Sanya. He's trying to kill me. Kill him!"

"eh!?"

"What happened? Can't you hear my order?"

"That kind of thing ..."

why? Why your husband and Sanya?

The master's smell is real. But the smell of Sanya is real.

Both of them are real but two people fight.

"Sister, don't be fooled! That master is a fake!"

"Hannah, that's fake! Sanya is dead!"

Why my husband and Sanya ...
