Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

In the Great Forest Part XII

And finally, I was able to reach before the world tree.

"This is the world tree!?

It's such a giant tree that you can't even look up and see ahead.

But there's no rage in the trunk, it looks like some dull shade.

The leaves, too, had fallen like rain. When I picked it up, it was wrinkled and not moisturized.

Touching it makes me kind of sad.

"Ku......"

Stella came and took a stand down position.

I'll put the comerve down for you. The album that was inside with me, I wrapped it around my neck.

"Thanks."

Comerve thanked Stella and proceeded to the world tree with his best wishes.

"Mervu......"

Speak up, but there's no response. Greater Merv has been taken away.

Comerve hugs the world tree all the time.

It made me kind of sad, and I joined together and touched the world tree.

Then, suddenly, the shade of the trunk becomes brighter.

"─ Huh!?

'It's dangerous, get away!!

The Cat's Great Spirit screamed something, but I didn't hear it very well.

Wrapped in a dazzling light, I don't know what it is.

"Meru!"

"Comerve!! Are you ok!?

Reaching out, he touched the leaves of the Comerve. Attract and hug nearby.

"Album Chammo, Il Yoo!

And then, with Nix, he was claiming by patting the lid.

Good. I'm not alone.

When the light subsides, we see the surrounding conditions.

The sky, trees and grass were gray worlds. The fog is deep and I don't know how big a place it is.

What the hell is this place?

"In the consciousness of the world tree."

"The World Tree, not the Great Merv?

"Merv is a friend of the World Tree. Through Merv, the world tree existed. '

"Oh, yeah."

I don't know, but the Great Merv seems to be important to the world tree.

"That's the world tree over there"

When the comerve points to the leaves, the fog clears only in that direction.

There she was, an old gray-headed woman. Without a wand or anything, I don't rely on flutter.

He was still going to fall, so he ran and approached, supporting his body.

"Um, are you okay?

"Are you...?

This is Squirrel, the health guard.

When I named him that, he laughed at me.

"Right, a health guard... You're Fore Elf, so maybe you came here."

"I see."

Folle Elf is a family that lives with the woods. I believe in nature more than any elf tribe.

"Are you the world tree?

"Looks like it."

"Why are you here?

"Come on?"

Until before, the grass trees seemed like a nice place to shine through.

That seems to have made the Grey World by the disappearance of the Great Merv.

But why was I called here?

"I wonder why. I'm not sure if it's a world tree."

The question was answered by Comerve.

"Why not because Meru is a health guard? The hygienists, they cheer everyone up. '

If you ask me, yes.

But it's not like you can use restorative magic, and you're not as knowledgeable as a doctor.

"Meru, there's a way to be meru, to get better, right?

"Oh, I was"

I have food.

I just made a suggestion to the World Tree.

"If you're not feeling well, let's make, uh, something, even a cheerful dish?

"I'm fine, cooking?

"Yes!"

Here, Comerv grabbed the hem of the old woman's clothes and said.

"Meru's food, it's delicious. Comerve, Suki '

"Album Chammo, Scidayo!

"Right. Then why don't you make it?"

In the meantime, have them sit on the spot and I'll be ready to cook.

What shall we make? A nutritious dish would be nice.

"Do you have any bad ingredients, flavors, or dishes?

"No, I can't think of any. Remembering food is a long time ago."

"Really? So you make what I like."

Again, if you say you can get better, it would be soup.

The album will help you cook.

Take stock with hollowbird bones, add vegetables, herbs, and season with salt pepper to fine bacon.

It has less time to simmer and tastes thin, but my body is weak, so I might as well season this much.

"It's a herbal soup. Go ahead."

"Thanks"

He also said he would only drink soup, so he put it in a glass and handed it to him.

The album gives you plenty of ingredients in the vessel.

I saw how everyone was doing.

The world tree pours soup with a spoon and stares at it wonderfully.

When Comerve hurried, "Come on, eat," he carried the spoon to his mouth.

"Ah... yummy"

Apparently, it fits your mouth.

Then one after the other, I go ahead and eat.

Gradually, redness appears on the skin of the world tree.

Then there was a change around.

"Wow!?

The grassland, which was gray, is stained with bright greenery, and the leaves of the trees come out glossy.

The clouds flowed, and we saw the blue sky and the sun.

The Tree of the World--oh, my God, she's young to be a beautiful blonde.

The beautiful world tree offered an empty plate and said with a smile.

"Thanks. Thanks to your soup, I'm feeling better"

"Oh, well, well... good"

The world that was gray had turned into a beautiful world.

I can't believe you're so well with a cup of soup.

"I'm sorry to hold you back. Welcome back to your people."

The moment I hear that word, the scenery flips.

"Duh!?

The land that descended was in front of the world tree in the Great Forest where it was originally.

But there was a change.

The world tree was reclaiming its green leaves.
