One dead leaf of the world tree falls to the lower part one by one.

There was a glowing worm monster on the back of the leaf, which could not be seen, but the fallen leaves turned brown.

Despite falling slowly, the leaves of the world tree are not large and have no weight, so if you hit them directly, the monsters will not be safe. In particular, winged insect demons have their wings damaged and can even crash.

However, most monsters are escaping under tall and durable trees, and the monsters around the trunk are stuck behind the sloth monsters and are escaping. By the way, the luminous slime is completely intact.

Fortunately, the world tree had so many leaves that it had time before the floor between the lower and upper layers came off.

When the floor comes off, it is expected that the weight will drop at once, so we turned the cold water in the baths of each place into warm water and guided the monsters. Did the monsters dig a side hole to see if it was good to have a bath at the bottom of the valley?

It was not easy for the temperature to rise and the World Tree to be well, so I had to work while feeling the temperature every day. Leaves have fallen, and slimes are gathering steadily at magic stone lamps installed in baths in various places.

The light worm, a monster of the glowing worm attached to the dead leaves, has a strong vitality and seems to be living hard in mulch. Looking at it, Mermo was supporting her for some reason.

Zuzazazazaza!

Ten days after the first dead leaves fell, a hole was finally made in the floor between the upper and lower layers.

Of course, everyone was alert and unfolding the wall of magical power and observing the behavior of sloth monsters, so there was no human damage, but dead trees and dead leaves in the upper layer that had accumulated due to the floor falling off at once He fell and covered the vegetation that had grown there, like a pile of garbage.

"Isn't it better to make a floor hole where there isn't much damage?"

"That's right. Look at the map and open a floor hole far from the bath."

Aisle's proposal will be implemented immediately. It was nice that Isle completed a map of the lower level while setting up the bath. No worries if you are prepared.

Spray the demon repellent around the garbage mountain fall point and fly to the sky.

He rode in a flying broom and pecking the floor, avoiding the luminous slime still clinging behind the leaves of the world tree. Even though it's a floor, it's a pile of leaves, so I thought it would make a hole if it was stuck with sharp bones, but it was surprisingly hard. When I entered the lower part, I remembered that the leaves were piled up and it was hard.

When you pierce the bone with momentum and pull it out at once, the accumulated garbage falls down like an avalanche. As the garbage dust soared, I heard an oversized sneeze. This is good because it has a magic wall and a mask, but the monster seems to be different.

A monster resembling a Tyrannosaurus seen in a movie from the previous world has shouted and threatened. Bersa says he has a terrible name, Mae Shitsukawas.

Wrap it in a wall of magic to deflate and capture it. I don't know if the warming monsters inhabiting the world tree know hibernation, but it's unlikely that the large body surface area of Maeashitsukawas will be able to pass the winter, so they will be able to make delicious meat.

Aisle, who was unable to eat the flesh of insect-type demons and lacked meat, sharply dismantled while sharpening a large knife.

I went to the dwarf cave after a long absence and found that a dwarf aunt Melissa was making sake.

"Oh, it's been a long time.

"Yes, I brought it in because it had good meat. Is it Baremo's sake?"

"Do you understand?"

"Yes"

The smell of potato shochu.

"I have free time during the winter, and in spring I'm thinking about drinking for the New Year celebrations."

The beginning of spring is New Year in this world. If you prepare now, you may be making good sake by the time the world tree flowers bloom.

"I hope we can see the cherry blossoms in spring. We have to do our best."

"Well, I'll fail if I'm too impatient. Which one will shed behind?"

Melissa seems to miss her because she hasn't met many people. If you calm down, take off your clothes and have your back flow away.

For some reason, there were several employees peeking into the bath, and she said, "It's absolutely nostalgia," Melissa washed her crotch between her legs. I heard a laugh about how funny my enduring expression was, but I just served Melissa with everyday thanks. I wish it became a service.

He was turned over and refused to give his back, "I don't want to be naked in public." Even though Melissa first crawled at night, the woman's heart seemed to change.

After getting out of the bath, greetings are all over, crossing the desert and the sea to the dwarf settlement.

The abandoned village near the volcano has been excavated, and several buildings have been built to make it a fine village.

"Wow! This is good meat."

Handing the Mea Shitsukawaz meat to the patriarchs brought together dwarf aunties.

According to the aunts, the continent seems to grow crops even in the winter, and harvests potatoes.

"The aquatic plants you said are good fertilizers."

"I don't have any food problems right now!"

"Ah, do you want to bring bat meat? Are you feeding too much and they're getting fat these days?"

The bats in the cave seem to be becoming more and more domestic.

For the time being, I received the bottle I had requested from the uncles of the dwarf, and returned to the base of Sekaiju, "I will come again soon."

The upper part is well ventilated, and the cold wind that blows down from the mountain is flowing from the hole in the floor to the lower part.

The demons are sensitive to the temperature, and some are starting to nest. The mountain cave used by the dwarves for mining was popular, and demons gathered in the surrounding area, regardless of type.

Due to the hole in the floor that had become the boundary, monsters in the upper layer sometimes came to the lower layer, and fierce battles were unfolding.

Weakly eaten, so we decided not to fight the demons and only protect the luminous slime, but there was no monster to prey on the luminous slime in the first place, so there is nothing to do.

He was just watching the dead leaves of the world trees falling while warming the baths set up in various places.

A few days later.

The leaf floor has fallen by more than half, and the power relationship between the upper and lower demons has generally been confirmed. In the lower part, the green tiger, which was the prey side, ate the monster in the upper part, and the physique became stupid. Still, when the bow approaches, he shows his belly as to whether he wants to be stroked, so he seems to be the boss of the whole area.

In the past, no plants were growing in the upper part in the morning, and seeds sometimes fell to the lower part.

The lower forest is covered with dead leaves and plant seeds, and the ground is soft. It is quite buried when walking.

"I guess the only place in the world where humus accumulates is this."

Versa picked the seed and said,

All the employees go to find seeds, and still make seed dumplings at night.

Perhaps the biggest change after the floor comes off is that day and night have come to the lower part. The luminous slimes that illuminated the lower part of the humus and the bath hardly move. It seems really cold.

Cold wind was flowing down to the lower part, so snow was falling when the ice around the trunk was cleared.

Isle and Rita were pruning worries about the medicine they had applied to the cuts on the branches. The medicine should have used the building materials used at the base near the summit, so it should be strong against the cold, but I've heard that it's ridiculous, but I'm going to see how it stops when the snow stops That.

"It's cold"

Seth exhaled in his hand.

At the base of Sekaiju, we are making seed dumplings for feeding luminescent slime. It seems that cold is coming from the ground though there are firm walls and there should not be drafts.

Draws a magic circle of heating and a magic circle of wind magic and emits warm air to warm the base at a stretch. I thought I wouldn't use it while making the seed dumplings because it dries out, but I can't help it because it's too cold to do it. Instead, Rita uses water magic to moisten the dumplings.

"Even if you put on a mask, it smells ..."

"I can't help it because it contains insect-like monster droppings as fertilizer."

Versa explained to Aisle's complaint. I never gave up on the smell and gave up. I am sorry if I wonder if I will feed this to luminous slime, but since the seed dumpling is coated with the mucus of cave slime, it should not smell so much at the moment of eating. When digested, it should work like a time bomb, so it's very painful. Well, let's imagine that luminous slime has no organ that senses odor.

Of course, I couldn't eat rice in such a situation, so I washed my whole body clean while wearing clothes, cleaned it and dried it. The gloves couldn't smell, so he dried it at the base of Sekaiju and we headed to a base near the summit.

Heavy snow outside, poor visibility. I thought I would go near the summit, but on the way, a lump of snow fell along with dead leaves, a dead tree fell on the ground in front of me, and it was a bit dangerous, so with the monsters in the dwarves' mine We decided to get together.

Because Bow is the boss, the monsters didn't even show their intention to drive us out.

However, we couldn't just eat the rice, and even the hungry monsters shredded the meat of Mea Shitsukawazu and served soup with vegetables and stewed, so Isle said "My meat is ~" He was making a sad voice.

The snow has finally stopped for two days.

The outside of the cave is completely white. When I looked up, the world tree had no dead leaves and was just a branch.

I go to see the cut of the branch with Aisle and Rita. There were not a few branches affected by the fungus, but they were almost safe. The branches affected by the fungus were cut and cleaned, and the surface was carefully covered with building materials. Because the world tree is huge, it is unlikely that the disease tree will reach the trunk unless it is left alone.

By the way, I looked around the upper layer as a whole. There was also a bird monster nest, but both the parents and eggs were frozen. The only living thing is the little bird monster that is nesting in a little bark rift.

At the tip of the branch is a small rugby ball that is a bud and can't be seen. I hope they grow up well.

In the lower part, the luminous slime does not move due to the effect of snow, and it keeps taking a bath all the time or just solidifies under the snow. Not only luminous slime but also insect-type monsters and bird monsters are not found. Only furry deer monsters and green tigers have been seen.

The sound is absorbed by the snow or calms down, and sometimes I hear the sound of a tree breaking.

"I don't have much to do with Sekaiju until spring?"

"That's right. You just have to come before spring and feed the luminous slime with seeds."

Bersa answered my question.

One month remaining until spring. The only thing left is to believe in the power of World Tree.

"President, vacation !?"

Melmo gladly heard.

"Yes, it's winter vacation!"

"" "Yeah, oh, oh !!!!" "

Seth, Melmo and Rita were so happy to jump up, but Bow was puzzled, "Fuha, what to do during winter vacation?"

"Let's go date with Rita."

"Fuha, yeah! What is Naoki doing?"

"Is there any place in the southern hemisphere that I haven't been to? I'm going to see as much as I can. I'll get rid of the slime if it's there.

"Fuha, after all, isn't work! Aisle and Versa?"

"Map making in the southern hemisphere"

"Fieldwork"

Aisle and Versa answered Bow's question, "Naturally."

"Wait a minute. It's bad. Seth, Melmo, make a lot of lunch boxes! We'll be working together."

"why!"

"Is that lonely ?!"

Aisle and Versa reacted to my words.

"Because you have a criminal record, and you don't want to get stuck in a bottomless swamp or immerse yourself in research without eating rice."

"Huh, after all, are we a naoki talisman?"

"I have to go back while Naoki is sleeping."

I pinched my cheeks while saying, "Don't lick my pinch power (pinch power) near level 300."

The plants are buried in the snow, and there are no monsters that blow out poison.

It may have been the safest season since the world tree grew.

When the wall of magic is cut, the air inhaled is cold and the exhaled breath is white.

Soon my ears got cold.

Komulo Company had a short winter break.
