Sigel, who had finished cleaning up his dinner, was in his room making a confirmation of the 'Spirit Inn'.

I've been kind of busy since I left the ruins until I finished dinner, and I haven't had time to check.

I was a little excited to open the screen to see what changes the branches of the Spirit Tree that I had captured up to that point in my eyes had made to The Spirit Inn, or had not changed at all.

"Uh, which one...? Hmm, at least the boxyard itself hasn't changed anything...... what is this?

At first glance, it was Sigel who thought nothing had changed, at least in appearance, but that didn't happen.

The cherry tree planted in the middle of the screen was somehow marked to keep an eye on it.

When I tapped on that mark, a message appeared on the screen.

"Do you want to take in the branches of the Spirit Tree?

"... what, this?

I can somehow guess what it says, but I don't see why this is happening.

It's a compulsive eventful thing, and I tapped thrilled that once I chose 'NO' I might never be able to choose again, but that didn't happen.

Don't worry, I checked the log and it said something that seemed to explain why that message was coming out firmly.

According to this, the cause is still due to the incorporation of the branches I received from Merriage into the 'Spirit Inn' (?).

And the change is happening to the cherry tree in the center, which was chosen because the only tree in the current boxyard happened to be the cherry tree.

I wanted to see what would have happened if there had been more than one other tree, but unfortunately now I don't have the spiritual power either, so I can't find out.

More important than that, Sigel thought it would be to find out how cherry trees would change, returning from the log screen to the event (?) I decided to wake up.

I tapped the mark next to the cherry tree, just like earlier, to get the message out, and then now I tapped 'Yes'.

"Well, what happens...... dazzle! Effect, because it's dazzling"

Sigel, who accidentally made one penetration even though no one was there, but naturally no one answered it.

Anyway, the effect itself seemed to be over in a flash, and Sigel's eye damage could be quickly healed.

I checked the cherry tree again, Sigel.

"Hmmm...... Nothing's changed... that's not true."

There was no change in the cherry tree itself, but there was a flashing spot in the item of the Spirit on the menu.

Check there, what a new covenant spirit had been added.

Whatever you think, it seems to be the spirit that dwelt in the cherry tree that took in the branches of the Spirit Tree.

I checked the log again and it was exactly what Siegel imagined.

In addition, the log even noted that the cherry tree in the center had become a spirit tree.

"Does it mean that thanks to taking in the branches of the Spirit Tree, the Spirit was born and became a Spirit Tree? No, the other way around?

Around there, it wasn't clearly written when I looked at the log.

Exactly, it is an argument as to whether the egg is first or the chicken is first.

I don't care about such a philosophical story. Sigel named the new contractual spirit who came quickly.

"You're Sakura because you're a cherry tree spirit."

I can't tell you what a cheap name it is, but it was a name that sticks to me as a Siegel because it's easy to understand.

More than that, Sigel was to haunt his head over its peculiarity while checking Sakura's status.

First of all, the most pivotal rank, but what a start as an intermediate spirit from the start.

That's fine, but Sakura seemed to hit a special spirit and could do less than the other four spirits.

It was impossible to explore and escort.

Even if I wanted to choose, the item was grayed out and I can't choose.

Instead, he remembers the special skill of Spirit Tree Management, so that cherry trees that have become Spirit Trees can be managed.

Conversely, the other contractual spirits seemed unable to manage the cherry trees, which were to be managed by Sakura by force.

Incidentally, the skills of Spirit Tree Management seem to be manageable in the Box Garden itself, and I am not forced to choose between cherry trees and the management of the Box Garden.

It hurts not to be able to do any other work, but Sigel, who became a positive thought that he should be happy that a powerful Spirit had come, finally decided to check the status of the other contractual Spirits as well.

The current covenant spirits are five in all, including Sakura.

The three spirits from the early days remain A-ranked in the lower spirits unchanged in rank.

He had a sweet idea whether he fulfilled the conditions for ranking up by having a cherry spirit tree, but unfortunately it didn't work that well.

Furthermore, these three spirits have instructed the same time for management, escort and exploration, but there is a difference in skill composition.

Rag remembers his skills over management within the Spirit Inn, which began as a blend; Rig remembers his anti-enemy skills, which revolved around exploration; and Shilo remembers his combat skills, which revolved around escorts.

Around here, maybe it's called personality.

That doesn't mean I don't seem to remember another system of skills at all, so I'm not going to stop averaging working hours right now.

The last remaining Sui, the rank remains the E rank of the lower spirits and their skills remain early.

I guess this is something like I just signed a contract and I can't help it.

"Hmm. I thought something had changed in the Spirit Tree, but was it just Sakura"

I feel a little sorry for you, but still, the fact that Sakura came is huge.

That was enough, Siegel decided to think it was worth the fall.

But that was not the only effect of taking in the branches of the Spirit Tree.

Sigel noticed that change when he was preparing breakfast the next day.

"Yeah, what's this..."

Sigel, who was checking on "The Spirit's Inn," noticed at a glance that it was different than before he slept at night.

I rushed to check the number of Spirit visits and found that it was changing as it seemed.

"The number of visits has more than tripled..."

Until I went to bed last night, there were around ten visitors, and now I see more than thirty visitors to The Spirit Inn.

Whatever I thought, I just thought it was because of the Spirit Tree.

"Hmm. Glad to hear it, but so different?

As Sigel, I could only have this degree of sentiment, beyond knowing what the Spirit Tree was doing for the Spirits.

Of course, I know that there is something more special than being named the Spirit Tree, but on the contrary, I'm sure it makes me wonder if it's to this extent.

"Well, it's only been one night, and it's been awhile."

To Sigel, who shrugged so much, Philomena, who was closing in from behind, would come talking to me and be surprised, but that's another story.

At the breakfast table that day, Sigel decided to ask Philomena what she cared about.

"Speaking of which, you said you'd get more exploratory members, but you're okay?

"Hmm. I tried to get in touch with you last night, but it felt good."

Filomena's house has communication equipment for conversations with distant opponents.

Of course, it's an ancient monument.

Sigel nodded with inner relief to Filomena, who had said so with a smile.

"Yes. That's good"

Worst of all, if the members didn't get together, they'd almost be unable to investigate because of themselves.

Or is it something like Philomena exploring alone?

As for Sigel, I wanted to avoid that, so it's like a ho and a relief.

When I saw how that Sigel was doing, Philomena tilted her neck small.

"Yeah? Was there something uneasy about that, too?

Asked so, Sigel decided to speak honestly, even though she thought about deluding herself for a moment.

"We're not going to do anything that Siegel finds on her own, are we?

Seeing Philomena, who had said so with some hesitation, Sigel waved in haste.

"No, I was wondering if maybe, because I just thought, I definitely didn't think that would happen"

Philomena looked at Sigel with a subtle answer, like he was not there, which was such an excuse, for a little while.

Nevertheless, that state of affairs did not last long and it was soon to return to the usual filomena.
