― ― Although attacked by monsters, Lukash and Elvira, and the newly born Spirit of Water, after removing the critical situation, I decided to ask the Spirit of Earth Rykerrant to purify the poisoned soil without any rest.
The big tree of Fontarpune-sama, which I wanted to protect the most, is dead, but it's over.Soil must be cleansed for the other trees of the forest.
Well then, please.
Leave it to me.
The ball of light in tea blinked like a nod and turned into a man with brown skin.He has a vessel with water in his hand and sprinkles the water around him to draw a circle.Then he knelt down and gently touched the ground - and the traces of water he soaked emitted a pale light.
The light spreads out towards the outside of the circle.The ground seemed kind of sparkly.
As he watched his hard spit, Rikerrand, who was a man, eventually stood up.And thinking that light had been emitted from his body, he returned to his original figure, the ball of light.
Mou, it's okay.
It sounded relieved.
Rejuvenation spreads between us, too, in the words of Lord Rykerrand.Diona, who was standing next to her, whispered with her breath.
"... that's amazing, the power of the Spirit."
"But I can't even defeat a monster yet."
The feeling of loosening is tightened again by Vake's sober remarks.Yes, the monsters that scattered the toxins that were responsible for this attack have yet to be crushed.
While I felt sorry for the tiredness of using my strength, I asked Mr Rykerrand.
"Ah, um, Mr. Rykerland. Can you trace the location of the monster with its roots in the soil?"
"I can understand everything in the earth."
Stream stones are spirits of earth.Again, with his help, we may be able to attack the monsters lurking in the border through the dirt.
I suppressed my feelings of deviation and asked more slowly.
"Well then, it's impossible to put a special cure that monsters don't like directly into their roots..."
"... I've never done it before, I probably can't.Gah, rather than following the roots, there is a magical formation throughout the forest that influences the monsters in the ground and on the surface. "
Mr Rykerrant blinked. If we can influence the prototype not only underground, but also on the surface, we should be able to attack monsters that have no roots on the surface.--Unless it's a monster with wings or something that doesn't float in space, which means it doesn't have feet on the surface of the earth.
I accidentally saw Lukash, but he looked at us with a slightly strange eye.
- Yes, I haven't told anyone about this operation yet.
I suggest to everyone again, ashamed that one of them ran first.I wonder if we can do the same for the opposite of what the monsters have been interfering with through the earth.
Arnold and Malta, who were both trying and mistaken in Flaria, nodded quietly without looking so surprised.Looks like Lukash and the others read my awkward description and agreed to give it a try right away.
As the means are left to Lycra Lant, all you need is a “special potion” that only attacks monsters.Is it still time for prototypes?
In the meantime, it would be better to procure spiritual drinking water.
"Well then, first, make a special potion of spiritual drinking water into the ingredients....."
"Is the spirit's drinking water still working?The fontarpune, which was the source of the spring water, must have completely decayed. "
Arnold made a sober point.
--Well, it is highly likely that the spirit's drinking water was not “Spirit's power of water”, but “Fontarpune-sama's own power”.Just because a new Spirit of Water was born doesn't mean everything is back to normal.
I see the puppy I was holding - the Spirit of Water.Then I rang "Waff" as if I knew everything, and got off from my arm to the ground.And with a lovely step, you approach the spirit's drinking water.
(What are you going to do...)
When I put my forefoot on the root of the large tree, which is a source of water, I howled on the spot.
Looking like a cute puppy howling, I fell into a sensation of being shaken by my brain.I don't know what to say, is it echoing, or is it exerting something obvious?
Howling waves the surface of the water. The water spirits stared at the sound of the water for a few seconds - and then stepped towards the surface.
Ah, when I thought, the Spirit of Water was already “walking" on the water surface.
The light spreads from the place where the Spirit walks, and the light spreads to the area where the Spirit drinks water.A puppy walking on the water at a pleasant step rushed towards me at that foot.
"... did the Spirit of Water use its power?"
Arnold murmured.
The water is completely quiet now.I ran to the Spirit's drinking water, holding the Spirit of Water at my feet. And peek.
"Beautiful..."
The peeked water seemed clearer than ever.
The Spirit of Water yawns in my arms.I wonder if I am tired after using my strength.
I don't know what happened.But it was clear that the Spirit of Water did something to the Spirit's drinking water.
"Laura, would you like to try it?"
Lukash crouched to the side and asked when he was close.
I nod slowly and pump spiritual drinking water into the container.And when he handed it to Lukash, he held the container in his chest and closed his eyes.― ― At the moment, an incredible amount of light comes out of the water without opening your eyes.
He blinked his dazzled eyes at the light and looked at Lukash.
"Did this child... fortify the spirit's drinking water?"
I can't find an appropriate expression, but perhaps the power of the Spirit of Water increased the potency of the Spirit's drinking water.
Lukash nodded loudly.Maybe there was something I felt when I put my strength into it.
I stand up momentumlessly, whether I be there or not.Looking back, Arnold was staring at us.
"I will prepare a special potion that will help the monster immediately.Please rest until then.... Lukash, Diona, can you help me? "
Just beside Lukash, Diona nodded loudly as she gazed a little further away.
--Looks like it'll work. Tactics that only became blurry on their own became more and more realistic with everyone's help.
I gently stroked my head with gratitude so as not to interfere with the sleep of the water spirits sleeping in my arms.I don't know anything about this kid, but at the same time he's just helping me.
We decided to go back to Flaria for a while, drawing on the Spirit's drinking water to make a special potion again.
It was late at night that the monsters attacked the Dai Tree of Fontarpune, and it was near dawn that we returned to Flaria.
I was told to rest slowly for a day on the boulders, and I slept well until the evening, combined with the lack of sleep.When I woke up, the sun was already setting and I jumped out in a hurry with a boulder - Marta and Diona in the same room still slept quietly, so I left the room quietly to avoid waking them up.
"Laura"
The voice familiar to my ears stopped me when I left the room.
Looking back, Lukash stood with a calm expression.
Rushing by without thinking.
"Lukash"
"Did you sleep well?"
Yeah, thanks to you.
Answering the question, childhood habits breathe relief.And I said it stings like biting.
I'm glad we made it.
The voice of breathing is somewhat lower than the familiar voice I know.I think about his growth during the journey.
Today, it was a pretty critical situation.Now I think that many coincidences have miraculously saved my life.It is full of developments that will attack from next to next, but when I look back again, I feel more frightened now.
If Lukash hadn't given me the Spirit Stone, if a new Spirit of Water hadn't been born at that time, if Lukash hadn't been in time - I'd be in the belly of a monster by now.
Walk alongside Lukash.
"We still have a lot of problems, but for now, it's a long way off."
The demons that scatter poison in the woods have also found a powerful way to crush them.It would be all right if things went well.
Lukash made a slightly reflective gesture and then peeked into my face.
"Um, a puppy-like spirit...."
"I've been sleeping all this time. Maybe I'm tired of using my powers."
When I woke up, I slept round my pillow, so I left the room without waking up.It was the puppy that was sleeping.
Lukash arms up and says, "Mmm."
Spirit of water, what is it?
"Maybe. Crack it from the Spirit Stone Lukash gave me!"
I remember there. I didn't tell him that the Spirit Stone - the amulet - broke.
I stop and look up at Lukash.
"Sorry, I broke it."
"Yeah, if I could have protected Laura, I'd have left her behind."
Gentle Lukash smiles at me "Never mind."But I wondered if it had unexpectedly clouded his expression.
"But... because I liked it, I miss it a little"
What a lovely thing to say.
She smiled unintentionally at the childhood familiarity with a stubborn childish expression.I was glad that he liked my present so much.
"Can you hold on a second? I'll find something that might replace it."
"Thank you!"
I smiled deeply at Lukash, who sparkled his face.Then I began to think about what would be good as a replacement gift.
Use beautiful stones to make similar amulets instead of spiritual stones.Or should I make it completely different?
Yeah, thinking about it, next to me, Lukash stopped surprisingly.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Did Laura hear about Julius's hometown?"
--The home of Julius, I chewed my lower lip on a topic that came out of Lukash's mouth.
By asking such a question, Lukash would have heard Julius and his desire to be his companion.You must have heard about your hometown at that time.
"... yeah"
He nodded small, and Lukash leaned deeply and began to speak slowly.
"There was a village. It looks like there was an altar in the village dedicated to Rikerland... probably attacked when the Rikerland was sealed."
I thought so.It was no longer certain.However, when the child's familiar mouth told me that it was true, there was still something to bear.
I also lean down and hammer "yeah."Lukash's hand in sight was firmly gripped and closed.
"There was nothing left.People and buildings are all ravaged by monsters..... "
Lukash exhales and breathes. And,
"... that's annoying."
I said with a trembling voice.
I can't say anything.I just stared at Lukash's trembling fist.
"I couldn't help you, me.Even though I was a brave man, I couldn't help you..... "
"Luca...."
Even though he was a brave man, the words that Lukash spilled were no longer a curse.A very cruel word used by a kind brave man to blame himself.
Indeed, Lukash is a brave man in this world.But he was born just like me and everybody else.He just happened to have a special power, and...
But Lukash does not resent his destiny in this world.Just look ahead, stand up, protect the people.Maybe it's because of him that God chose to be brave.
"Until now, I've been on an extension to protect my loved ones... but I'd like to reduce the number of people who feel like Julius."
"... yeah"
Looking up at Lukash, he wasn't leaning anymore.
Looking at the horizon from afar, Lukash says.The side of my face that was illuminated by the sunset felt dazzling and even divine.
I want to be a brave man.
--Perhaps at this moment, Lukash has become a true hero.It may have been the moment of the birth of a brave man when I wished from the bottom of my heart that I wanted to be a brave man who had just been given a profession.
Lukash's expression is still not clear.However, I felt a strong will from those eyes.
If you're used to it, you'll be fine. I'm sure they'll be able to support us.Still, as a childhood friend, I'm still worried.
Unexpectedly, she shouted at her groovy side.
"Luca is certainly a brave man, but he's alone.Don't force it or sacrifice yourself. "
"... yeah. Thank you, Laura."
Lukash glanced and laughed.The expression was Lukash, whom I knew.
You can see the beautiful flower fields lined up beside you without a word.It was a quiet time.
Eventually, Lukash stretches and exhales loudly.
"Great! It's a bit refreshing!"
And when I smiled, I said, "Wow!"I heard a cry. Looking back, it wasn't the pure white puppy that was there - it was the Spirit of Water.
Well, what's the matter?
I shook my tail and ran over.Because it was twitching to my feet, I accidentally lifted it up and licked my face with velour.
"Ahahah, are you awake too?"
Lukash laughed beside him. Did he wake up looking for me, as he said?
When I think so, I feel the love that is directed at my pet, but at the same time, confusion also spreads.Why do you miss me so much?I certainly tried to help Fontarpune, but it was the same with Lukash and Arnold.
If the question hits Lukash as it is, he leaves it for a few seconds.
"Maybe she thinks of Laura like her mother.Look, it's the first person I've seen since I was born. "
That's what I said.
Though I was familiar with the idea of childhood, I felt a little stunned at the boulder.
"It's like a bird chick...."
"But he doesn't want to leave Laura."
A Spirit of Water snorting his nose to my chest.I couldn't help but think that Lukash's hypothesis might make sense.
In the pure white hair, she stared at the sparkling blue stone.Avur says that this stone embedded in this child's forehead is the new Spirit Stone.
And then, yes.
(You have to take this child to enter the sanctuary....)
I can't seem to be able to remove only the spiritual stone of my head so far.When that happens, I don't think the situation that this child misses so much about me is very good.
Yeah, the water spirits licked up my troubled cheeks again.
