There is a giant tree on the level where the elves live in the southern tower.

Of course, the giant tree is a world tree.

The elves are building settlements around the world tree.

However, there is only one facility in a radius of one kilometer centered on the world tree.

For Elves, the world tree is a "sacred tree", and it is a natural philosophy not to approach the world tree.

Only a limited number of people can enter a single building and its surroundings.

It is only a study aid recognized by Colette, the witch of the world tree, and Essena, the fairy of the world tree.

To be precise, if the two names are accepted, we can enter.

Currently, approaching the world tree with Kaiseki and Colette is silent.

Implicit approval.

An elf was about to enter the restricted area.

But despite watching it, nobody tried to stop it.

Because Colette has issued a notice authorizing entry.

The elf's name is Cheryl.

She was an ex-world tree witch.

Cheryl is allowed to enter simply because she is a witch from the former World Tree.

Worldwide Tree Witches sometimes have the same authority as God's advocates for elves.

Nevertheless, it was only natural that those who once served as witches should be respected by the elves.

Of course, I don't have as much say as the witches do today.

Anyway, there's a reason Cheryl is now in a no-go zone.

The reason lay in front of her.

It is surrounded by places where the roots of the world's trees overlap and are stretched several times.

But only there, the roots were stretched to avoid, and the ground was bare.

Colette lay on the ground with her eyes closed.

That's why Cheryl is allowed in.

Colette is in the middle of training to improve her abilities.

Colette is lying at the foot of a world tree with her eyes closed, but she's not just sleeping.

The so-called ordinary people are in a different state from their sleep.

Thanks to the help of the examiner, Colette was able to connect more deeply with the Spirit, but it's not enough yet.

I'm trying to grow that power.

To be clear, we're trying to evolve just like the others.

As far as peaches are concerned, it is not said that they have evolved clearly, but if you look at Sylvia and the attitude of the examiner, you can see.

I didn't say it because I had a reason.

Probably not just Colette, but the rest of the team as well.

If you think about it, you're the only one who hasn't evolved.

That's not why I'm in a hurry.

Unlike human beings, elves have a long life.

I wish it had evolved in the meantime, but I don't think it's okay to scratch a sagittal seat for its lifespan.

It certainly has a longer life span than people, but there is no doubt that time is finite.

Lie with your eyes closed to avoid adding extra information.

(Relax as much as you can.)) I'm just trying to put in information about the spirits.

However, if you look at the spirits and hear their voices, nothing has changed.

If you're an elf sensitive person, you can't help it.

In other words, Colette's evolution to a high elf is completely different.

Sheryl talked to the void as she watched Colette lying down.

"What does it look like?

In response, Essena appeared in front of Cheryl's gaze.

If you are near the world tree, you can show up without asking for help.

When she appeared, Essena leaned her neck for a while before answering.

"It's not working yet."

In response, Cheryl sighed.

"... yes."

It's already been three years since Colette started this kind of training.

I don't know whether Cheryl is doing well or not.

Cheryl is here to see if anything has changed in her body.

Recently, Colette has been in this state for several days.

Occasionally you wake up and repeat drinking moisture and returning to the same condition.

Cheryl is not only here to see his body, he is also in charge of this southern tower.

Even so, I'm not doing anything new, but I'm just told I want you to let me know when a big change occurs.

I don't think that Cheryl would take care of the tower too easily.

I don't care how much I get from the examiner.

I'm helping because I understand what Colette is doing, but I don't want anything more.

In the end, Colette on this day did not wake up and Cheryl returned to the settlement as usual.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

One day I was living such an unchanging life.

Finally, change will come.

Cheryl, who visited management, heard from Schlein that Sylvia's son was finally born.

I woke up earlier and told Colette that Sylvia was pregnant.

Colette was very pleased to hear that Sylvia, who was working as an adventurer, had a child before meeting with the examiner.

At that time, I finished my training and went to see him.

The story that Sylvia gave birth safely is probably the most interesting one to hear.

It's been a long time since I went to sleep before, so it's not strange to wake up anytime soon.

Cheryl, who tried to reach the foot of the world tree with the information Colette was waiting for, was stopped by unexpected people (...).

Speaking of whom, it's a trio of high elves.

"What's wrong?

Surprised by the presence of three high-elves who rarely appear, Cheryl said so.

"Don't you realize? No, you haven't come back yet."

Instead of answering Cheryl's question, Liston nodded convincingly.

Seeing it, Zepal advised him to smile bitterly.

"Well, isn't that the answer?... the witch did it. You should go and see what's going on."

"We'll wait here, so bring them as soon as you can. I want to bless you."

Saira added after Zepal.

It goes without saying who the witch is now.

Because there is only one person called a witch by at least three of the high elves.

Sheryl lowered his head to the three high elves and hurried back to Colette, confirming that she was shining as she lay down.

A closer look revealed that Colette wasn't glowing herself, but that spirits were flying around to celebrate her surroundings.

As soon as Cheryl approached, the light went out.

Cheryl mistook himself for getting closer, but simply because Colette woke up, the spirits slightly separated.

"... hmm? Cheryl?"

"Colette! Did you do it?

Cheryl jumped at Colette, staring at the light of the spirits flying around her.

It was a pleasure I couldn't do when I was a witch.

Certainly, Colette found out that she was evolving into a high elf.

But Colette looked a little troubled.

"Ah, yeah. I was able to evolve, but it looks like I'm a different species from the High Elves."

"... huh?!

Cheryl was surprised by the unexpected words.

"Well, then, what happened? I mean, how did you know?

"Before I woke up, Spika God taught me in my dreams. Safe to be a spiritual elf."

After hearing Colette's words, Cheryl's head instantly turned pure white.

The collet was still scratching his cheeks with a troublesome expression.

The Spirit Elf is a species known as the original Elf, which is different from both Elves and High Elves.

However, even if it is said, its existence will finally become a myth.

Some people even laugh at it as a brow saliva.

"Oh, my God."

Cheryl, resurrected from his pure white head, was stunned by the magnitude of the incident.

The elves in this hierarchy do not do anything about Colette, who has become a spiritual elf, but they definitely become the object of worship.

If you succeed, you may exceed your exam aid.

Colette laughed and said that she had foreseen such concerns.

"It's okay. Kouske doesn't care about that. And neither I nor Essena will forgive you."

Cheryl's concern was that the elves would leave the shelter.

For all elf species, there is no mistake in worrying about spiritual elves because their existence is equal to that of God.

"Yes, that's right."

But above all, Essena won't allow that.

Of course, as Colette herself said, there was no way to forgive such a thing.

This evolution of Colette into a spiritual elf led to slow but definite changes in the elf settlements.
