137: Aragorn's death

"What!? We found that wi's father. Ah!?

"Oh really, Mr. Hiiro!?

The story is about Kuzel Gio, who joined us the other day. I also know about his daughter, Wincaa Gio, Muir, who has traveled with him.

And when we broke up with Muir in this country, if we found Winkaa's father, we would have asked him to report it to us.

They too have always been worried about Winkaa and should have prayed if they could find their father as soon as possible.

So I promised I'd report you if I found you.

And it was almost a coincidence, but the news of the father turns out, and this is how he came to tell the two of them about it.

"Well, I can't believe I was in the demon world"

"Ugh, yeah. But it was so good! All you have to do is tell Mr. Wie about it!

"I've already contacted you about that."

"Morning! No, I mean, naturally. He asked me to do it."

Actually, I already contacted that winkaa. Naturally, the Lettering Magic was used to find her and convey the information.

Winkaa was grumpy at first, but I have fully trusted her and asked her where she is because she knows the sun color can't possibly be a lie.

Of course I taught her without lying or falsehood that she has a job she can't let go of right now and that it will be awhile before she goes to the demonic world. I said I should see him just a little bit, but discipline tells me I can't abandon my job on the way.

Kuzel also seemed relieved to be assured of Winkaa's safety again. And I promised to wait until she got here.

"That was really good, Mr. Wie."

"Right! Happy day!

Mimil and Kukulia were also delighted to hear more about it and weep.

"Hey Hiiro, if, if you two were to be reunited, would you call me then?

"Oh, I beg you too!

"You're going to come to the demon world, okay?

"Ouch! We're allies now!

"Yes! I want to see Io too!

Io means Ionis, whom Muir became friends with in a duel.

"I don't care about that."

The Muirs are smiling happily at each other's faces. Mimil and Kukulia are also staring at it smiling.

But that's when I heard something screaming from somewhere.

- Doggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!

With such an awesome sound of destruction, the scream grew even louder. As everyone rushed outside, everyone breathed into the sight that spread there.

"Oh, no..."

The whine belongs to Kucleara.

"The Tree of Beginnings... Broken... Huh!?

If you ask me, apparently, The Tree of Beginning Aragorn broke from half, and that fell to the residence of the people.

Kucleara and Mimil were bluish that maybe someone had been underneath the tree, but in the story of those who came to report immediately, apparently fortunately there were no dead.

That when the tree broke, the people who had heard the sound of omens did not have to create the worst possible situation by telling everyone about it.

Even though it still withered, the impact of the great trees falling was tremendous, and the underlying trees had been crushed in rows.

From what I can see, the Balids also seem to be moving around giving instructions to soldiers and the people. Anyway, I can't leave it like this, so I'm trying to move the Beginning Tree somehow.

But Daiki has a lot of weight and it seems hard to move. Leo Wood, the king of beasts who heard the noise there, also came.

Having grasped the situation, he had the look of bitter worms chewed up, but nodded as small as he had decided after a while.

"Okay, make Aragorn a portable form!

"Master Leood, are you sure?

Balid is stunned to open his eyes, but I can see why. Aragorn was a symbol of the kingdom and a pride for the beasts, for those who lived here.

Even though they did let us wither at the hands of thieves, I am concerned that we will destroy the sacred tree ourselves.

"I don't have a choice. Unfortunately, Aragorn has already..."

I didn't say he was dead, but did Leo Wood's bitterness convey, and the soldiers are making him look down regrettably, too.

I can somehow understand how important Aragorn is to them just because of their reaction.

"Hey, Hiiro, why don't I just go and come?

He said he wanted to go to the Fallen Tree of Beginnings to see what Ten thought on his sun-colored shoulder that he watched in silence.

"Why?

"Mm-hmm. It's not my fault you're in there."

"Are you inside? What are you talking about?

Ten rushed out sassy as he descended from his shoulder hysterically, jumping on Aragorn.

"Hmm? What is this monkey?

Naturally Leowood, who should have seen Tenn for the first time, says surprisingly, but Barido next door,

"Oh, aren't you the monkey who was with Hiiro for sure!

"Mm? Hiiro? Is Hiiro here?

Apparently Leo Wood hasn't received any news of a visit to Japan yet.

Ignoring their thoughts like that, Ten looks around at the tree, touching it, and advances toward the tree still standing.

Nature and everyone swim their gaze at Ten, touching its roots as they look up at Aragorn, where he has become a painful figure.

- Pickaaaa...!

Then suddenly the tree gave off a light.

"Become!?

"What are you doing Saloo!?

Leood is surprised, and Balid yells at Ten, who would have triggered the phenomenon.

The light concentrated in one place as if it were squeezing out of a tree.

Just around the center of the broken part it gathers and eventually forms some form.

"Nice to meet you - Gris"

Those around him were stunned by the sudden talk of the Ten, but the sun color walks there behind the Ten.

"What the fuck is that?

What Gris and Tenn called me looked like a tree fairy or something to see in games and such. He has a large leaf on his head and a body the size of a ten on his round face.

He's wearing clothes made of leaves, which obviously seem fantastic. But the look is neat as exhausted.

Its eyes, which would be dripping eyes, are dripping further because of it.

"Hiiro? Why are you here?

Leo Wood asks,

"We'll talk later. Now I want to understand this situation."

"Ugh, um..."

Leo Wood also recognized which was to be given priority, and followed the Japanese word and remained silent.

"He's the spirit that lived in this tree."

Ten jumps on the sun-colored shoulder that came nearby to take a closer look at the Spirit's face.

"We called it Gris..."

"To, Gringauge ~"

The Gringauge and the others pointed their sleepy eyes at me.

"Gris, you said you used to live in a tree."

"Huh, let it be so"

"Was it this tree you lived in?

"It made me feel comfortable."

Gringauge says he liked the Aragorn at first sight, which existed for a long time, and decided to live with it in its trees.

But this is separate from the covenant made by the sun colour and the Ten, such as, simply put, the Spirit decides on his own as a dwelling, and he lives there.

But of course, we don't just live there, we take the risk of providing some magic or not being able to move off the spot, but in view of that risk, Aragorn seems to have been a great place, and we've been there for a long time.

But that "Aragorn" was withered by thieves, and he said that he had taken less damage and Gringauge at that time, and had been unable to move until now.

"So you're saying Aragorn was the Spirit Tree?

Leo Wood asks, but Ten shakes his head to the side in full.

"No, it's only because he lived there, and he's not officially under contract, so I guess it's hard to say" Spirit Tree ""

"That's right, Gris doesn't have a contract with anyone."

"Sort of? Is this tree still alive?

Then Glyn Auge gives an expression of how obviously depressed she is. And I thought, "Higu... gu..." I snapped my nose.

"... Wow!

Everyone has a big mouth open to the spirits who suddenly wept and cried out.

"How dare you do that to me!"

"Oh, that guy?

Ten asks back,

"Be human! And be otherworldly!"

The sun color was the most shocking to the word. So I remembered that Avoros, the previous demon king, said something on that dueling occasion that was certainly abducting the brave.

And the men in black who withered the trees are undoubtedly the companions of Avoros.

That means...

(Can't believe one of them...?

That was about Osamu Aoyama and Chika Suzumiya, but remembering that he said he was a human man if you put it that way, I assume it was the Osamu who created this status quo.

(I don't have that idea, what are you doing?

Why are you listening to Avoros and acting...

Besides, do you do this stupid thing by listening to the former demon king because the brave man who is supposed to save the people is the beast man...?

So I deduce from Avoros' character, words and deeds, etc.

(... took the other guy hostage too...?

I decided that was likely. There's no way an aspiring man with a sense of righteousness who seems serious can like to work under the Demon King.

Especially after that war. We should have recognized that our thoughts were sweet. It wouldn't be foolish enough to go on and happen like this afterwards.

That means that if it is conceivable, we are in a situation where we have to. But you won't be able to make him do this for a half-world reason.

Then I came up with the possibility that the other Chika was taking some risks. If he wants to save Chika's life, if he asks you to listen, he will surely listen.

Only Chika beside me can support him now. The loss of her is quite painful and frightening for Kam's ambitions.

I don't know if there are romantic feelings or anything like that, but if you are an ambition that seems scared of being alone, it was thought to work just for that reason.

(But well, I didn't know you were going to dye your hands in evil instead of coming to this world and doing it justice...... you look pitiful handsome)

I felt sorry for him just a little bit. Even the same otherworldly man was a good example of how acting without thought produces this kind of result.

(Better yet are the guys who broke up with those two...)

It's about Juli and Shinobu.

(How do they move when they find out about this... what does it matter to me?)

I didn't know what the four of them thought or acted on and what would happen eventually.

"Oh, my God, you're the best place I've ever been."

Gringauge pointing his mouth at dissatisfaction, but Tenn asks further.

"So this tree is already dead, huh?

"... make it so ~"

Now lay your eyes down sadly. It wouldn't be strange if we didn't have a place to live together for a long time.

But when they hear the word dead, the beasts dwell on a more sad expression.

"Again... you are no longer alive. The Aragorn..."

"Daddy......"

"Father..."

Kukulia and Mimil also synchronize to Leo Wood's grieving whine. But Muir, who was nearby as well, hacked up and looked up at the sun-colored face.

"Oh, that Mr. Hiiro!

"... what?

"Well, you know... maybe Mr. Hiiro..."

"I can't do this."

"... to?

Muir is solidified as she was poked at the intention, but I know what she's trying to say.

"You want me to fix this tree or something, don't you?

"Uh... yes"

"Oh, you can do that, Hiiro!

Leo Wood is eating up too. I don't know how he feels. But I thought I should be honest here and move my mouth.

"Sure, my magic is omnipresent. But there are certain things that cannot be done by this magic."

"Oh, really?

"It's the power that people deal with. It's only natural that limits exist."

…………

"Well, still, I've actually tried it"

"What!? Maybe you're already trying to revive the Beginning Tree?

"Don't get me wrong, little one. I'm talking about dead things... which means resurrection of life."

"Ah..."

"Apparently we don't have the power to bring back what's already dead. Don't even write letters."

"Oh really..."

"Well, if some of it's just hurting, it's nothing, but we can't revive something that's completely lifeless again."

"Ho, are you sure you can't do this anymore?

".......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Everyone gets depressed because of the darkness spreading again on the arrow tip where they thought they saw the light of hope. But it was true.

The sun color could also bring the dead back to life, or I had actually tried it. That said, I tried it on a dead monster opponent, but no matter what letter I tried to write with in mind, I couldn't write a letter that would revive my life.

On the contrary, the feeling of depletion of magic struck me at the time I tried to write, and I was later devastated by tremendous intense pain.

I also wondered if this was just because I didn't have enough magic, but no matter how much the level improved and the magic increased, I couldn't use it. Similar recoil only struck the body.

Assuming this tree was badly damaged, there was nothing wrong with it because if life is still at all rooted out, you just have to heal the damage, but you can't resurrect something that is completely dead.

(You can't write a letter that takes a life, but you can't write a letter that saves it...?)

But I decided to think that might have been a good idea. If life could be magically and easily resurrected, I felt like that was the only thing missing: the value of being alive.

"Anyway, there's nothing I can do about being dead. You give up."

Has Barido felt anything slightly in the cold way of saying the sun color, and he turns a kicking sharp gaze.

"Hiiro, you have no idea, but this tree is for us..."

"Oh, yes, yes. I know what you're trying to say."

"Become, you!?

"But I think it's more important to reflect and move on than to regret and not move on?

"Ugh..."

"I don't know what happened. But I can't help but mourn the fact that it happened."

"But people aren't simple enough to break it off!

"Right. So grieving is not bad in itself."

"What?"

"The point is, you can keep having that grief, but we're talking about turning forward. I can see that this tree is important to you. But you're gonna get in the way of your life, aren't you?

I stare at the trees being crushed by the great trees and clasp my shoulders.

"Even the Beast King knows where it is, so I guess he's telling you to shatter these fallen trees."

Turning to Leo Wood, he nods back and opens his mouth small too.

"Hiiro is right. Even if he does die, Aragorn is our pride. That's why leaving it like this is an incredible place to work. As a beast, I will bury you with gratitude, all of you!

Raise your voice so that everyone can respond to Leo Wood's words. While I think you're still a hot species, I think this kind of nori is pleasant too.

At the behest of Leo Wood, the people who break down the fallen trees in detail and gather them in the square. Barido is also taking the initiative in cutting his own trees.

"By the way, leaves."

"Do you mean leaves are grilled?"

I can still see tiredness on my face, but it's better than before, so it looks like the force is returning a lot.

"You, if you wanted to protect this place so badly, why didn't you prevent the thief from attacking you?

Because I thought that if it was the same spirit as Ten or Siuba, I could have done something about that ambition at my leisure.

"Oh, that's impossible, Hiiro."

Ten opened his mouth to the answer.

"What do you mean?

"Actually..."

Gringauge says he is not a 'high spirited' like Ten or Siuba in the first place. Humanities can speak, but almost everyone has no power to hurt people.

It also provides magic to Aragorn, even if it is not a contract, so it was not strong enough to resist at that time.

Rather than that, he said he was about to lose his mind when he was hit by the evil of a knife that his ambitions had. He is such a weak spirit.

"Knife?"

"When the other world stabbed the knife in the tree, the life force in the tree disappeared at once."

"... blue ribbon, you know what?

I asked Mimil if she knew more about it.

"Ah, yes. If it was that knife, your father would have recovered it and now it's over to Mr. Uhit."

"Uhit?............... who was it?

"I'm a researcher with a country. Maybe you should say Larasyk's brother."

Kucleara finally remembered telling me. With that said, I remembered that he was an interesting fighter in a duel. He was a man in white with glued glasses and featuring a rabbit.

Perhaps he entrusted it to Uhit, a researcher, to find out on what principle the knife wiped out the power of the tree.

"I see. So? What are we going to do with the leaves? The Spirit can't stay there if he doesn't have someone to lean on, can he?

"It's been a long time since I've been back in the woods."

A forest would be [Spirit Forest]. Ten raised his hand,

"Well, why don't you just say hello?"

"You know what I mean."

With that said, Gringauge's body became clear step by step. And in just seconds, Gringauge, who was there, no longer saw any shadows or shapes.

Apparently, he went back to [Spirit Forest].
