She was a girl with the beauty of glasswork and a mysterious atmosphere like no other in the world. What you can see at a glance is that, like tiredness, Midori is not as old as she looks. While the girl's face, the girl's ingenuity creates a supernatural atmosphere of crying. There are parts that are common to Junko, but they are even more pronounced than Junko. I can even imagine that the outlaw in this world depends on the body of a girl.
"A sorcerer who belongs to the Complex Devil." The relationship is thin now, though. "
The girl who called herself Maple D added.
"Thinly related? We know some sorcerers in the Complex Devil."
And, tired.
"Yes, the interaction with the sorcerer of the Order was not completely interrupted." There are many who are coming to this forest. But I don't belong to any faction, I don't try to be a mentor, and I try to avoid interacting within the cult. It's a depressing place to be. If you're serious, I'd like to get out of here. "
Maple D has a clearly audible voice and way of speaking, but a terribly hard and pale tone. However, it is not an atmosphere of troublesomeness. It's a bit different than administrative. I don't think I'm good at talking, nor am I annoying. At the point of speaking without even being asked, I think I would rather like the conversation.
"As mentioned in the introduction, there are more spirit flowers in the forest." But these days, spirits and flowers have been killed by monsters that have appeared in the forest. Sad, just like my counterpart was killed. "
That said, Maple D was a disgrace.
"Growing spirit flowers is not an easy task. I'm also helping out in my spare time. It seems that the spirit flowers were originally made by the Prison Rei family."
Explain as supplemented by the rattling sound.
"It's a space conveniently created for people with paranormal feelings. It's a peach source town for magicians and outsiders."
“There are other places like this all over Japan, and I've visited a few of them, but I think this is particularly strong.”
To Midori's admiration, the rattling sound was further explained.
"I see this disturbance as somebody's plot. I saw someone like that. There are other people besides me who have seen it. A magician who was attacking a magician. There have been sightings of monsters who have not been attacked by the monsters that have appeared.”
"Was it still an artificial disturbance?" What are the characteristics of this person? "
"Boy in a trench coat. I always eat gum. That is a common sighting example. I saw it too. He had very dark eyes. I was trampling on my spirit flowers."
In response to a tired question, Maple D answers with an even more sad face.
By the way, I'm talking to you, why don't you try a souvenir?
Challenge?
Midori shouted weirdly at the sudden invitation of Maple D.
"Why don't you try growing spirit flowers too?" They both seem strong, and it's a little dark, but it feels pure, so I'm sure a good spirit flower will grow. "
"Hee, what do you mean by dark and pure?"
Would you like to do it?
In front of Midori's face with a bitter smile, Maple D sticks out the stump of the spirit flower without opening the petal.
"Nh, I'll try..."
While remembering the feeling of being pressed by force, Midori receives the buds of the spirit flower and concentrates his mind.
As soon as Midori was able to put his mind to it, the change took place. The buds open, and like the spiritual flowers all over the forest, the glowing flowers of the petals bloom.
"Quick."
"Hmph, I don't know what it is"
Midori hands over the spirit flower with a smile on her face to Maple D, who praises without a scratch.
"Father, I need to leave Yukuryu's forest until the curse feast on the tree and sea." I'll forward you a map of the depths. ”
The roar rejects it.
Well then, until the tree-sea curse feast is over, will Midori and I build this forest?
Even at night?
"At night, I left the forest in a boulder, and I stayed nearby..."
"I'll stay in the woods, so I'll be fine."
Maple D interrupted her tired words.
The holographic display shows a map of the depths of the forest of Okuri, obtained from the sound of a tired woman.
There's a lot of activity in the depths, isn't there?
"There are lodges. And there are several." You can sleep here, right? "
Midori said that she was tired when she looked at the map.
"Fuwaa, you need so many lodges?"
Midori looks at the number of lodges and asks. There were ten lodges on the map.
Because there are many magicians who stay in the lodge all the time.
"The wetland lodge is the best. Recommended. I'll show you a lot of thanks for making the spirit flowers.”
Midori's question was answered by a roar, and Maple D insisted.
"There's only one thank you I've made..."
"But this is very good to do." I use it for personal use. Spirit Flowers can be used for a variety of purposes. But it's mainly about power recovery. "
For the first time here, for a moment, Maple D spilled a smile.
Farewell to the sound of birds, dressed as a maple D, walking on the wooden path is tired and green.
"Hmph. There's a lot of them." Even before I went deeper, there was a lot of it along the bridge. "
"The water is beautiful, and the variety of creatures seems to be abundant."
"In this forest, there is a set of source springs, rivers, and estuaries." This kind of place is one of the most precious and unusual in Japan. "
No, the ocean was also nearby
"And there are creatures unique to this terrain." Look, the crab that came out of that hole, that's exactly it. "
While talking, the three of them walked, but Maple D stopped and pointed to the earthen wall next to them. There were certainly red crabs.
It looks like a normal crab.
"It's not normal. This crab is a crab that lives in the forest. Crabs drown when they get in the water. The crab that is said to have become a model for fighting in Sarakakan"
"Hmph, drowning crabs..."
It was difficult to imagine the composition of drowning in water creatures, both green and tired.
"The crab breathes Ella. This crab also breathes Ella, but in a different way than regular crabs. Once water is obtained, it is absorbed through the hole at the base of the foot. Ella exhaled the water from her mouth after breathing, letting the water touch the air and taking in the air, and then absorbed the water again from the hole at the base of her foot. Circulate and continue to use"
"It's convenient, but why is it such a hassle? You can't just breathe in the water normally?"
"Because this crab mainly lives on land. However, the forest near the seaside and riverside. The absolute condition is an environment where water for breathing can be obtained at any time. From eggs to children, it is necessary to be in the sea, so this place like the forest of Mikurei, where the sea, river and forest are set, is suitable. Sometimes they are near drains all over the city, close to the sea. Sometimes they come into the lodge here. Fishing for garbage and pinching people"
Listening to the story of Maple D, Midori imagined that when she was sleeping, crabs would dive into the bed and get pinched by scissors. Meanwhile, tiredness imagines crabs coming in and pinching in the toilet.
After that, Maple D will introduce the facilities and attractions in the forest.
It's a pretty powerful barrier.
Tiredness stopped before entering the large lower terrace. The barrier is not only strong. Other than that, my strength drifts. The cause of the power was obvious. Because the whole terrace is glowing with spiritual flowers.
Here ― ― To protect the spirit flower garden, several magicians stretched it out. Because all the mysterious creatures are targeting the spirit flowers. "
Maple D said, and went ahead to the terrace. There was not only a flower garden, but also a small lodge.
Dazzling. The number of spirit flowers is halfway there.
"But if you put it in here, you'll gain strength."
The people who were injured just now are also here.
"The injured person will be treated here by someone who is skilled in recovery and healing surgery. Not only does it enhance the resilience of the magician, but it also restores the magician's drainage and promotes the wounded's own resilience."
"It's going to be...."
Midway through the words, Midori withdrew as he heard the loud sound of the wings heard many times in the forest on the surface until he came here.
"Hee, another wasp... this is coming through the barrier."
"Bugs are necessary for pollination. Spirit flowers need pollination too"
Maple D replied lightly when Green said that it remained stiff so as not to stimulate the wasp.
"This time, it's a monkey wasp." This is also highly aggressive, so be careful. ”
Everyone is highly aggressive when it comes to wasps, right?
Midori pushed in with a moody face, tired of asserting the type and urging attention.
