Legend

The world tree absorbed Ray's flowing magic, and the dazzling light disappeared.

Ray, who was watching it, lays his hands on himself and turns his gaze to the marina touching the world tree.

Ray and his gaze crossed the marina open her mouth with a glossy grin, as usual.

"The World Tree is definitely getting better.... Look."

The gaze of the marina is directed toward those above the world tree… who grow branches and leaves.

It has the same branches and leaves as before.

I have no doubt about that, but the overwhelming power felt from it was very different from when I first saw the world tree.

I felt alive enough when I first saw it, and Ray was overwhelmed by its size, but not now.

That's the difference, like wanting to say what I felt until earlier.

An overwhelming presence, just what you deserve to be called the World Tree.

"This is... awesome, huh"

Having uttered a word of surprise, I'd say Ray is the one in the line who hasn't forgotten me yet.

In fact, even faces like Elaine and Vihera were overwhelmed and blinded by the presence of the world tree currently in front of them.

"Isn't it? … but it's definitely thanks to Ray's magic that I've recovered so far"

Even though the Dark Elves in the settlement were the best at keeping the status quo on the World Tree even with their total magic, this is what happened now with Ray just letting his magic flow through the World Tree on his own.

Without the magic Ray had, the world tree could even have withered.

Thinking about it, I guess Marina's gaze of gratitude toward Ray is natural.

"Stupid...... I really need a world tree by myself..."

A loud voice was uttered from Ragud, who was present in the treatment of the world tree from a little further away.

I had heard about Ray's magic from his belly regum in the square the day before yesterday. I was asking...... I guess Ragud still didn't realize he didn't have the ability to sense magic.

Still, if I can show it to you directly in front of me like this, I have to convince you of Regum's words.

It's not comparable to our own magic... that's Ray's magic of being different digits in the literal sense.

It was a ragud with a glance toward Ray and the marina, but eventually there was a grin in his mouth.

It wasn't funny that it was the person who brought Marina in to treat the World Tree, but if she still asks me which emphasis I place on my thoughts or treating the World Tree, I don't even need to get lost.

Compared to before he was infused with magic, Ragud sighs and gazes toward Ray and the marina as he looks at the apparently vibrant world tree.

There, I guess I finally noticed Ray and Marina laying their hands on each other. As they both blushed their thin cheeks - Marina was still smiling glossy - but she was just about to let go of her hand.

To both of those, naturally, Elaine and Vihera are not funny, and they get stuffed.

Ara grinned happily at how Elaine was doing, and Büne glanced at Vihera and stared at the world tree.

Seto kept the yellow on his back a little further away, and this one also looked at the world tree, just like Bühne.

Ray, it was a ragd watching a row, but eventually I touched my hand. If I don't touch it, I get closer to the noisy four.

(I wonder what that relationship will be with Master Marina... I feel like I'm going to be in a lot of trouble. That's also when there are two other beauties as beautiful as Master Marina, I don't even feel sorry for them, not envious)

More than two other people with the same level of beauty as the marina, they will undoubtedly be motivated, jealous, jealous, hated... and will be eyed by all sorts of people.

With that in mind, I don't think Ragud would envy Ray's position either, but he wasn't very sure he wanted to take his place.

Still, I am somewhat thankful to Ray for finishing treating the World Tree.

I knew he was never comfortable with himself about yesterday, but he still said he could do enough to help in this place right now.

"It's time to go back to the settlement? The settlers must be very surprised by the light earlier.... Well, the world tree today has regained strength to the point where it can be seen from afar, so I don't think there's anything upsetting about it."

Even though I'm surprised, I'm surprised in a good way.

Because the world tree, weakened over time, recovered in an instant.

If you are a dark elf in this settlement, no one will ever know that.

To the words of Ragud, the marina nods as she panicked, too.

I'm not saying that I have no intention of deluding Ray and his hands in that snort, but it was also true that we still need to officially teach the settlers how to recover the world tree.

Ray also gives a surprise look to Ragud, who has pinched his mouth at an exquisite time.

I didn't think I was going to protect myself.

Ray would have duly understood that he hated me, too.

Still sheltered Ray because it includes an apology in the matter of the marina, or simply because he appreciates it in the matter of the world tree?

Either way, it was true that Ray was saved by Ragud's words.

"Oh, yeah. So it's time to go back to the settlement? I'm done treating the world tree, but you'll need to see how it goes for a while now, and most importantly, I want to make sure you check on the forest anomalies."

"Right. If we spend time here, it's going to be confusing because we don't know what's going on in the settlement."

Ray agrees with the marina who tells her to panic.

Elaine and Vihera stare at the two, but it's true that Ray can't even leave the settlers alone like this.

That being the case, and since the end of this one case with regard to any further recourse, Elaine and Vihella agree.

The only reason we can communicate that much is because we both have the same thoughts... no, I guess because we have thoughts.

"Okay. Well, let's just get it."

To that word of Vihela, everyone leaves in front of the world tree for the settlement.

Naturally Ray was also about to leave in front of the world tree for the settlement, but I feel like I've felt some kind of gaze and stop my legs.

I look around again, but no one is looking particularly at me.

(You've felt this gaze before.... what?

I can't tell where that gaze is coming from, even though I definitely feel the gaze.

On the contrary, if you get out of your mind, you don't feel your gaze.

So while you're at it, there's some sense of urgency in your gaze.

It's an odd gaze in many ways, but Ray, who looked around, can't find the Lord of that gaze after all.

"Ray, what are you doing? I'm leaving you, okay?

I guess I noticed that Ray was late looking around. That's what Elaine calls me.

And when I was made aware of Elaine's voice, the next moment the gaze that was being directed at me had disappeared beautifully.

(What's happening?

I doubt it, but I'm the only one feeling that gaze... that's what's wrong with not even Ceto noticing? and as far as how Ceto was leaning his neck was concerned, it was certain.

The gaze I feel just for myself. That gaze, as if it also deluded Seto's sharp five senses, sixth sense, and ability to feel magic, was only a mystery to take to Ray.

Still don't try to solve it in a hurry, I guess, because I can't feel the kind of malice in the gaze that can be directed at me.

If this was a malicious gaze, Ray would have been anxious to have to do something about it too, but what was being directed at me now seemed like a gaze that made me feel like Ning Luo favored.

"Ray!"

Despite calling earlier, Elaine calls in a stronger voice than earlier to Ray, who was again stopping and looking around.

"Hey, bad. I was just wondering."

Ray tells as he runs under Elaine, who is a little ahead of him.

"What do you care? Anything wrong?

"No, that's..."

I felt a strange gaze.

I heard cheers coming from the front as if to block Ray's words I tried to say so.

The Lord of that voice, which contains no more joy, is, naturally, the dark elves who were in the settlement.

You must have seen the world tree get better, which is more important to us than anything else.

That's how, expressing joy in his face, he was running toward the world tree... that is, toward those with Ray and Elaine and the others.

"It's not safe like this. Let's move a little sideways to clear the way."

Everyone nods at the marina's words and moves to the edge of the road.

The Dark Elves, who have done so, run toward the world tree without noticing the marina or Ray.

"Oh, I knew it. I hope you're young."

Knowing that it was the youths in the settlement who ran away - and still most of them were close to a hundred years old - Marina smiles like she sees a lovely opponent.

When Ray saw it, then Marina wanted to ask how old she was, but the moment she tried to mouth it, something cold ran on her spine and mumbled her mouth.

"Absolutely… I'd like you to act a little more proud as a dark elf."

Ragud groans like a fool, but with an irresistible grin on his face.

"I don't have a choice. I guess we all had a lot to think about about about the world tree. Let's head to the settlement faster than that. I have to report it to Grandpa.... I'm here, so I need you to talk to Ragud."

"I understand."

It is also a great pleasure for Ragud to have been able to treat the world tree.

Though there are many things I think about Ray, I didn't mean to imitate him in an attempt to cover up his accomplishments.

After seeing the dark elves heading toward the world tree paragraph, the line heads toward the settlement again.

But... waiting in the settlement was unexpected for everyone.

"Huh? Your grandfather's out of the barrier junction?... Why?

It was a marina that tried to explain to Optis about the world tree, but there was no one at home and the result of asking those around him where Optis was going was something like going outside the settlement.

"Come on? Because I was happy about the world tree, too, and I wasn't nearly there. I just saw it a little when I was happy.... but the world tree is getting better, and I thought I'd see what's going on out there."

If normal, only one old man known as the elder goes outside the settlement... it's only suicidal to go outside the settlement where more and more monsters are excited and ferocious too.

But I could have called it an exception when it came to Optis.

Even though he is a dark elf, he has the strength to make monsters a blood festival by himself, so I guess he was confident that he could do anything out of the settlement by himself.

And Ray, who fought directly, understood that Optis' confidence was never excessive.

"What are we gonna do? Without the person you were supposed to report..."

Wouldn't it be a waste of time if we stayed here? To Ray, who tells him, Marina thinks a little before turning her gaze out of the settlement… towards those with a barrier junction.

"Right. Shall I go and inform Grandpa then? I also want to investigate how the influence of the world tree's regained power is coming out in the woods."

"Are you sure? No, I don't mind."

Looking a little further away, there were even those who danced less joyfully because the world tree regained its power.

Seeing a rare thing called dark elf dancing, I asked if I could leave the current settlement alone, but the marina's gaze would be directed towards Ragud.

"You're gonna be okay. I want Ragud to keep this noise down."

"Wow, is that me!?

I guess I didn't think I'd get to talk to myself here.

In the first place, yesterday's exchange clearly showed no more hostility between myself and the marina.

And yet why...?

But when Marina leaves the settlement to such a lagud, she takes the Rays outside the settlement.

(It won't matter what Ragud says more than the World Tree has regained its power... right)

It was obvious that it was harder for Ragud to try to eliminate the marina than Ray, whom Marina had brought, had successfully treated the world tree.

Besides, the Marina plans to return to the Guild once the World Tree is over.

No matter what was done politically, for now I had the idea that… hundreds of years or more would not be particularly troubling.

The marina, who thus left poor Ragud on the spot, arrives with the Rays before the fence of the barrier.

"Well, okay?

Confirm that only once, and watch everyone snort their weapons in their hands. The marina also snorts back small.

Naturally everyone was equipped with their own weapons and protective gear than they knew what was going to happen in the world tree, so it was convenient not to bother going back home.

That's how when the marina squeaks briefly, there's a hole in the barrier's junction, and the Rays go outside the barrier's junction.

"... when you look at it like this, it doesn't look particularly unusual."

Elaine squeaks as she looks around with Mirage in her hand.

"Right. But this is just the end of the barrier..."

The bushes that were nearby unwittingly sway so as to block the words of Vihera who said so.

Each one of them on the spot stood up with a weapon and pointed his cut at the bush...

"Polarolo, Pollululu?

Such a chirp echoed around me.
