Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

After finishing the conversation with Fina, I will return to the village once I deport the bears.

I have to report on the bear house, and you may have learned something about the sacred tree.

When I arrive at the village, I walk to Sanya's house and meet Louismin.

"Where were you, Yuna?"

It looks like Louismin is a little angry.

Why are you angry?

"You said you're going to look for a place to install a bear house."

"I'm a lie. I searched in the village later, but I wasn't anywhere. When I asked other people, no one saw Yuna."

Certainly he went outside so that no one could find it.

"Yuna walks through the village to build a house, and I can't help letting anyone know. Where did you go!"

I don't do anything bad, but why?

"I was looking for a place to set up a bear house outside the village."

"Isn't it in the village?"

Louismin thought I would have a bear house in the village.

Nobody has said that.

Well, I didn't even say it would be built outside the village because it could be stopped.

"So, where did you build it?"

"Is it going upstream? But I don't know what will happen because I haven't got the official permission from Mumrut."

"Upstream of the river, such a place ..."

"The bear house stands out, but it's closer than I thought."

It takes a few minutes if I run with bear equipment.

I don't know other people.

"So, did Sanya return?"

Louismin falls down his head.

"not yet"

Haven't you returned yet?

I wanted to hear the story of the sacred tree.

I'm worried about the barrier, and I'm a little disappointed.

I also wanted Mumrut to have a formal Bear House permit, but that didn't seem possible either.

I was going to Sanya's house for the time being. Louismin, who was looking at the entrance to the village, found Sanya.

"older sister"

Louismin saw three people heading to the sacred tree.

Timing is good.

I decided to approach and talk, but their faces were dark.

It also looks tired.

Seems worse than expected.

"What happened?"

Louismin is also worried whether he noticed the difference between them.

I wonder if this is the kind of thing to ask.

I don't know if someone like me could sneak in on the elf's problem.

It is a standard practice to have various troubles, especially if the race is different.

But if you don't listen, you can't tell what it is.

If you're refused, you won't hang your neck, and if you ask for help, you can help.

"How was it, Sanya-san?"

"Yuna-chan?"

He didn't notice until he approached him.

"Maybe something is going wrong?"

After seeing Mumrut and Artur's face, Sanya nodded small.

"It's worse than I thought. It's worst."

"What was the situation?"

"I'm sorry. I don't know how far we can talk yet. Oh, it's not just because you're Yuna. That's the whole village."

Sanya sighs.

concern. What happened?

"Luimin, I'll be late today, so please take care of Yuna."

"Yup"

Sanya and others go in one direction of Mumrut's house.

It wasn't an atmosphere where I could tell Mumroute about Bear House.

We will return to Sanya's house.

I tell Talia, including Louismin, that she has built a house, and that she will sleep over there tonight.

"But I eat dinner."

I accept Talia's offer.

At dinner, Sanya and Artur return.

As you can see, his face is darker than before.

"Dad, sister, what happened?"

Louismin asks the two, who are darkening a pleasant meal.

Regardless of whether it should be called Louismin or the atmosphere, he talks.

Artur stops eating at Louisin's words.

"I will tell all the villagers in the near future, but I will first tell you that it is not confirmed."

Everyone nodded in front of Artur.

"Is it okay to ask me too?

"I don't mind, but I still ask others to stay confidential."

Of course, I don't mean to tell anyone.

"In short, sacred trees were infested by parasites."

"A parasitic tree?"

Certainly, in the game I remember being a wooden monster.

It parasitizes forests and other trees, deprives it of nutrients, and eventually mimics them.

Therefore, if it is mimicked, it cannot be distinguished from a parasitic tree just by its appearance.

And the parasitized tree will eat even lost people, animals and demons.

A monster that wraps its prey around long branches and vines and preys on it.

"Are there any parasitic trees around here?"

If you are, you have to be careful.

It's dangerous because you don't notice it. Suddenly, if you are attacked, there are things.

"No. As far as I know, it's not around."

Sanya nodded in Artur's words.

"So why?"

"I don't know. Somehow the seeds have invaded and infested. Some birds can be carried and there are so many possibilities. But now I am more troublesome than coping with the cause."

Is there a workaround?

I feel that there is no other way but to defeat it normally.

Plant-based monsters are best burned.

But if you burn it, the sacred tree will burn with you.

"But didn't you notice that it was infested by a parasitic tree?"

The sooner you notice, the better.

"Three people are needed to get into the barrier, so I didn't confirm until Sanya came. It was a failure now. I should have asked Louismin and Lucca for confirmation alone."

Well, this is consequential.

I heard that Sacred Tree has been protecting the elven village for over a thousand years.

The sacred tree has been guarded by its own barrier and has been prevented from hostiles for more than a thousand years.

He didn't think it would be absorbed by parasites.

Mr. Mumruto thought that it was weakening after the previous barrier failed.

That's why he thought he needed to rebuild the barrier.

"Then, your sister, the sacred tree ..."

"If you keep this, the sacred tree will absorb all the magic power and the barrier will be gone."

Everyone closes their mouth on the word.

However, it turns out that the barrier is weakening because of the parasitic trees.

"Dad, removing that parasitic tree"

Artur shakes his head.

"I tried it out, but it didn't work. I cut it with magic or a sword, but it revived by sucking the magic of the sacred tree."

Playing, can't you do anything anymore?

"I thought about various countermeasures, but they were all impossible."

"Isn't that unlikely?"

If it is not 0, there is a possibility, the great people say.

But Sanya shakes her head.

"The barrier to protecting the holy tree is in the way. First, it is the relatives of the chief chief who are within the holy tree. Only those who can deal with the holy tree at this time are limited. I can do it. "

Indeed, at this point we're down to quite a few.

"So other people can't help defeat them. Furthermore, parasites are vulnerable to fire, but we elves can't use the magic of fire, so it's difficult to defeat them."

Certainly, it is blocked in all directions.

Who can enter the sacred tree is fixed and cannot be defeated by the wind magic that elves are good at. Fire attribute magic is required to defeat it. However, elves in the barrier cannot use fire magic.

If I get into the barrier, I'll burn it with a bear flame.

But if that happens, the sacred tree will also burn.

"But if the barrier weakens, will other people be able to enter?"

In fact, the barrier has weakened and a monster has entered.

"It doesn't seem to be weakening."

"What is that?"

"In the first place, the sacred tree forms a barrier around itself to protect itself. We, the elves, use that power to create a large barrier. It seems like grandfathers and dads may not be able to get into the barriers as well. "

"I can't enter."

"Well, if you go that far, everything is over."

It is tedious.

"I'm going to go again tomorrow. I'll try fire, oil, and more."

Fire arrows are primitive.

But is the sacred tree OK?
