"Hey, what's this?
I woke up in the morning and walked down the hallway to the dining room, the hallway was darker than usual.
I thought the weather was bad today, but it wasn't.
There were giant trees growing in the courtyard.
By the tree, the sunlight was a little blocked.
These trees were never there yesterday.
"... what's going on?
No one can answer me, but the question comes out of my mouth on its own.
This is my mansion, isn't it?
I'll open the room Tovira was nearby.
It was a familiar reception.
Definitely my mansion.
Funny thing is, that giant tree.
Something feels like a hell of a lot of energy.
I kinda remember this feeling.
I feel similar to the power I felt when I approached the Alheim world tree.
"... No, it's not."
I feel the power close to the world tree, but there is no way that the giant tree in front of me is the world tree.
There is no way that a tree that lived with the world from Genesis is growing in such a place.
In the meantime, I decided to look into it better.
Approaching a giant tree.
There was a tree that was originally planted in the courtyard, but it seems to have been absorbed by this giant tree.
The trunk of the giant tree was thick enough for the adults to hold hands together about five and manage to surround themselves.
What surprised me more than the thickness of the trunk was the height of the tree and the spread of the branches.
The giant tree stretched to a height superior to the three-story mansion, and its branches, like umbrellas, were wide enough to completely cover my mansion.
The sky is blocked by giant tree branches and leaves, but the sunlight is not completely unreachable.
There was a moderate gap, from which a gentle light enveloped my mansion.
Not as bright as it was when there were no giant trees, of course, but enough brightness is ensured to be under the trees.
This is what it looks like under the Alheim world tree.
Increasingly, I wonder if this is the world tree.
I touched the giant tree.
"This is..."
The interior of the bark of the giant tree felt as if the space between the spiritual realm and the narrow space was widening. More than it looks, this tree encloses a large space.
As I turned my consciousness inside that space, I felt something stretching its magic toward this tree.
Is this magic... silf?
It was the magic of Silf, the Spirit King, who had recently suddenly stopped coming to visit.
What the hell are you doing? What does this giant tree have to do with growing here?
I don't know, but Silf's magic seemed to be looking for this giant tree.
"... do you want me to connect you"
Pours magic into giant trees.
Operate that magic and stretch it to the magic of Silf.
─ ─ Connected.
As soon as a narrow magic path was formed, a vast amount of magic poured in from Silf's side.
With magic, something flies toward me.
"Wow!
"─ Huh!?"
Out of the giant trees, silf popped out.
He jumped out of this momentum, so he took her as he fell back to mitigate the shock.
"Uh, surprised-- what, that... Hart?
Silf, with his upper body up, seemed to notice that I was underlying him.
"I'm the one who surprised you."
"Hurt!
Silf hugged me.
I'm down on the ground, so it's inevitable.
Something made Silf seem happy, so she did it for a while, but let it stay.
"Long time no see, Silf. What have you been up to?
"... the world tree is in a lot of trouble and I've been doing something about it"
"What!? Well, is that enough? Is there anything I can do to help?
The crisis in the world tree is the crisis in Alheim.
Because that country is able to thrive, benefiting from the world tree.
Alheim is the home of my wife Tina and Rifa, so I was going to do anything I could.
"It's okay, I've managed the anomaly in the world tree."
"Well...... that's good"
In the meantime, Alheim says he's safe.
"What does that world tree anomaly have to do with this giant tree?
When I point to the sky, Silf sends his gaze ahead.
"What... this, what?
When Silf saw the branches of giant trees covering the sky, he stopped moving. She doesn't know about this giant tree either.
"When I woke up in the morning, this was growing in the courtyard. Besides, you feel a little like a world tree. Well, I don't think so..."
"Uh..."
"Oh, dear Hart, dear Silf, good day!
Luna came from the Mansion when Silf was about to say something.
And I said this out loud...
"Master Silf! If I give you all the water, the (...) world (...) tree (...) of this (...) is also so awesome!!"
