Ms. Lilywood leaves Kuro's house and starts talking about it after independence... I think, after a little thoughtful expression, she smiles something.

It's like. When I came up with something good, it looked like that.

"... it's okay to talk normally, but let's concentrate a little bit." It's a little bigger than the table, so I'm going to move it. ”

Um, yeah?

As I was leaning my neck, Mr. Lilywood stood up and sat back up close to me. It's not right next to it, but it's far enough to reach if you reach out a little.

And then Lilywood suddenly reached out to me.

Kite-san, please take my hand.

"Wash your hands? Eh, this is it? - What!?"

As Mr. Lilywood told me, when I took the hand I was offered, the next moment the scenery switched.

It was a place that felt like a meadow with nothing, and the sight of nature as it is was spread out.

"I think Lillie probably did the same thing, but in a way that resonates with Ms. Kite's magical sensitivity, she shows not only the emotions inhabited by magical power, but also the scenery at the same time... speaking of which, is it like showing my past?" Well, it's not exactly how it was in the past, it's a reproduction from memory. "

"Lilywood... you can do that, can't you?"

You can do something similar to Kite-san's magic sensitivity. It's difficult to adapt to magic like Keitaro, but it's as easy as this. "

As expected, Lilywood could do a lot of things at the top of the Demon Realm. Speaking of which, I remember saying that I could do something similar to induction magic.

In other words, the view you're looking at is a recreation of Lilywood's memory. To be honest, I don't know if it's just the meadow... but there's something familiar beyond my gaze... isn't there, Mr. Lilywood?

"... is that Mr. Lilywood?"

Yes, it's me from the past.

At the forefront of her gaze was Lilywood, who was holding a huge cane of a tree and checking for small flowers in the meadow.

In the past... having just become independent from Kuro, it should have been nearly 20,000 years ago, but Mr. Lilywood's appearance is almost the same as it is now.

The hair of the leaves may be slightly shorter, but it really only differs to that extent.

After leaving Chrome Aina, the first thing I went to was to gather my men... probably the same as most of the other Six Kings.

I wonder if you're looking for spirits?

That's right. It should be said that [I'm trying to create a new spirit].

What? Do you make spirits?

"Yes, I have poured out my magic power in search of magical flowers and trees." Spirits live in plants with great magical power, but plants with such great magical power are rare. Therefore, the number of spirits themselves was very small at that time. "

With that said, Lilywood lightly points to her past. When Lilywood turned her gaze to be guided by it, she injected magic into one flower.

Of course, just because you've injected my magic power doesn't necessarily mean that spirits are inhabited, but the odds are much higher than if they occur naturally.

Ah, that's why Mr. Lilywood calls his subordinates dependants.

"That's right. Of course, there are spirits and other races other than spirits that I developed naturally without exerting magic power, but... I call them vassals in a unified way." Well, the old habits are strong...... "

"... but it's quite a tunnel." Do you feel like you're going to the next place while waiting for the spirit to come into being by pouring magic power like this? "

Yeah, it actually took me a while to get my first family.

It doesn't mean that the spirits will be born from the moment you pour them, but it still takes time. However, even if you take such a time-consuming means, you can understand the desire to subordinate your own kind as much as possible.

It was not long before I became independent from Kuro, and I wonder what I wanted someone I could trust more than myself.

"... by the way, the story will change, but it's not much different from what Lilywood looks like now."

"That's right. The Spirit can have a substance in the first place only because it has sufficient strength, so the figure hasn't changed much from the beginning." However, some of it was affected by the growth of the main unit. [The chest was a little bigger].

……

Oh, I see... as far as I can see, both Lilywood of the past and Lilywood of the present look very fine, but compared to what I was told... No, wait, don't be silly, Yasuo Miyama.

It's the same person, so it's the worst thing to do as a person to compare the chest of past appearances with the chest of present appearances... calm down, calm down.

Since you knew it from the time of the hot spring, Mr. Lilywood is very conscious that he is a tree, so he is just insensitive to such things... sometimes he makes such defenseless remarks.

That's why I have to endure it and act rationally... don't look to my chest, just be patient...

”... you're still... aware of it.”

I was temporarily unaware of Mr. Lilywood's casual words, and I tried to be calm, but at that time I missed hearing Mr. Lilywood's small murmur.
