One month after the outbreak of Stampede, a crisis in the western part of the continent, there were various changes due to hosting nearly 3,000 refugees.

The [Wilderness of nothingness] changed its name to [Witch's Forest of Creation] and grew into a land that used to be barren but still capable of nurturing people.

And I...

What about the barrier, Witch?

"It's pretty weakened."It'll be completely gone in about 30 years. "

Tete and I came to the boundary of the Great Barrier with the goddess.

The forest produces magic, people and animals, and people who have been raised further produce more magic.

[Witch's Forest of Creation] On average, the magic power concentration is higher than the outside world, and the effect of inhibiting the flow of magic power in and out is unnecessary.

The painful barrier still has the power to prevent uninvited people, but it is also unnecessary if you apply the forest phantom magic used by the elves of the Great Forest little by little.

Well, let's go home.

Yes!

Straddling the staff, I put Tete on the back and flew over the [Witch's Forest of Creation].

The trees below, the wild animals that come from outside the barrier, and the creatures that breed on the land.

In the gap of the forest that extends underneath, rivers, springs, and plains are dotted around, and in the open land, migrant villages are also visible.

In contrast, the forest was dense, and several huge trees jumped through it more than other trees.

You've really grown up.

"There are many trees!"

The evolution of Tete led to significant changes during his stay in the Ertal Forest Country and his two years away from the area to protect the refugees.

In the past, we planted seedlings of world trees as magic spots, and planted trees around them to create forests.

At that time, the world tree grew larger than normal trees, and the trees next to it were taken up, mutated into the world tree, and then grew even larger.

Rattatosk, an illusion beast on a floating island, also sprouted seeds of world trees hidden in the caves and ground of the world tree, and the world trees combined into a giant tree that was over 100 meters long.

"It's really a strange process of growth..."

It's smaller than the Elf World Tree, but it's amazing!

The world tree of the Ertal Forest Country, ruled by Ernea, the queen of the High Elves, is as tall as a skyscraper, and makes you feel the years of its growth.

On the other hand, the world tree of the [Witch's Forest of Creation] is a giant tree born from a collection of several trees centered on the world tree.

Both of them are no different from the world's trees, and the process of their growth makes them feel fantasy.

Come on, let's get down there.

Yes!

The first tree to be planted lands on a branch of the world tree in the center of the [Witch's Forest of Creation], which is once larger than the world tree of the other giant trees.

The thick, firm and steady branches don't twitch as much as I and Tete descend, sitting on the branches and watching the scenery from the forest.

I'm not doing anything, I'm just looking at the view with Teto.

Most people cannot reach it, such as near the top of the world tree, and the sound of leaves echoes in the wind.

Breathe in the forest air, view the whole forest, and spend a peaceful time.

─ ─ Kuu, the sound of Tete's stomach suddenly broke the silence of the forest, and he laughed tinyly.

“I'm a little hungry.”

Yeah, sure. Let's get back to the Mansion.

Stand up on the branches and return to our mansion with Tete.

Welcome back, Master

The mechanoids of Beretta's men will greet us when we return.

"It's just the moment!" What are today's snacks? ”

For today's snack, we have prepared a pudding.Made from Gauren's milk, eggs, and honey. ”

”And, Master. It seems that they have finished sorting out the pleadings from each village that were delivered to the office."

“Yeah, I got it. I'll check back later."

Receiving a greeting from the maids, we arrived at the Mansion's office with a lot of pudding in the kitchen.

There, a few maids, including Beretta, and those who are good at intellectual labor from among the refugee demons who have volunteered to help us work as clerks.

"Master, welcome home."Why are you here? Aren't you off today?

“Beretta, it's late. It's time for a snack, so I brought it to everyone.”

"I'm here now! We're all going to take a break!”

When I say that, the demon clerks working at the desks lined up in the office look at Beretta with anticipation.

"I understand. I'm not going to let Master's generosity go down."Ladies and gentlemen, let's take a snack break. "

Yes! Maid!

I stop at work and smile at the office boys who start preparing snacks and teas.

In the [Witch's Forest of Creation], the number of people increased, and there was an explosion of cumbersome work.

If Beretta and the other mechano maids could handle it, they wouldn't be able to.

But I put a stop to too much work.

Beretta doesn't want to work to the limit because she has the ability.

Rather, because it evolved into a demonic mechanoid, I wanted you to explore how to spend a humane rest and how to enjoy your personal hobbies.

To ease the burden on Beretta, we hired a clerk to fulfill the wishes of the emigrants who wanted to help us.

"Master, Teto." I brewed tea. "

“Thank you, I'll take it.”

We're going to do it!

With a bite of the pudding, Tete and I can narrow our eyes to a smooth but rich pudding.

It tastes delicious with aromas of bitter caramel and vanilla.

When your mouth gets a little sweeter, reset it with tea and enjoy it again.

"It was a feast. So, Beretta. Looks like I got a plea, but is that okay?"

This is it.

That said, Beretta offered me a bunch of sheets of paper, and she looked through them one by one.

The [Witch's Forest of Creation], whose population has increased, is now represented by each race to decide how to live in this forest on a council basis.

As a result, I will come to the top, but I will not interfere with it excessively, and I plan to let it be as casual as ever.

”If you reign, I'll say that you don't govern...”

Beretta's maids were at the center, and they built the foundations for the council system of each race, so it was easy.

“The report that came up this time is about the expansion of trade products.”

'Yes, I got honey from Quinby. From Arachne, high-quality textiles will be added to the trade. "

The bee demon Quimby and the spider demon Arachne are both female demons built exclusively by women.

In terms of the lifestyle of Quimby, who collects pollen and makes it honey, and Arachne, who builds a house on a tree, the [Forest of the Creation Witch], which has a lot of nature, was a very suitable place to live.

The bee demon Quimby uses the bee monster, Honeybee, to produce fine honey and beeswax using the pollen he collects.

Arachnids of the Spider-Man race produce textiles using threads created by Arachnids themselves, and threads created from the Albino Eye, a mutation of the Red Eye Spider that was struck by the magic of the cherry tree created by [Creation Magic].

Glossy and glossy textiles, dyed by natural dyes, are the result of the longing of the women of the [Forest of Creation Witches].

"Quinn's honey was so sweet!The demons said they would make honey liquor, but it's sad to lose honey! "

Tete was talking about the demons.

The man was musculoskeletal and the woman was a normal woman, but both were demons with horns on their heads.

Men are engaged in the mercenary industry because of their good physique, and women protect houses and villages and make their living by brewing sake.

It seems that Tete is looking forward to the honey liquor that they make.

"Honey is definitely a good thing, too."Also, the Arachne textiles are slippery and refreshing, so there's a pleasant feeling that you want to stroke forever. "

When the textiles of the slippery arachnids were offered to us, they were replaced by Tete's pajamas and bedding by the hands of Beretta.

Does Tete also like the feel of it? I often have cheeks on my pajamas.

"Since only a small amount of luxury products are traded, there is no problem in distributing them inside the forest.In addition, it has been sent as a sacrifice to your master as a top priority. "

The sweetness used in the pudding today is also Quimby's honey, and Beretta, me and Tete, taste the sweetness of the pudding.

And the other races and we are thrilled to offer special products to our mistress.

"...... Please don't sharpen yourselves and stick a nail in it."

Quimby and Arachnid are only doing what they do best.

I don't think other races need to imitate it, so I want you to be reasonable.
