I decided to dissolve at the wedding venue and go to sleep before consulting Faye for the time being, so that night.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

"... why are you here?"

Faye was at my house!

"No, it's getting pretty late.I thought I wouldn't be able to go back to the Mansion right now, so I thought I'd let you stay at the house in Corgo. "

No... well, that's fine. Yeah.I don't hate it, but I was surprised.

"Hey, Fei, have you ever seen a zombie come here?"

"What about zombies? Why?"

Oh, they're not here.Have you come this way?I'm glad...

... so I'm sorry about before going to bed, but I'm going to let Faye report and discuss it.

A zombie appeared at a wedding.The zombie was defeated immediately and there was no damage in particular.Crowe will see what's going on in the city, and there will be no damage.

And... because of my weak bond, the zombies came out to the wedding.

"I don't know..."

Faye, who listened to me all the time, arms up on the couch and roars. [M]

"But that's quite impossible, isn't it?"

Then, Faye turned around from her position on the back of the sofa, slightly bent forward, and peeked into my face.

"I mean, that boundaries are supposed to protect the forest, right?It's impossible to spread the boundary to the town around the forest in the first place. "

Ah... I see.

Boundaries are created by spirits concentrating on ruins in the center of the forest.I can change and spread the shape a little bit, and if I increase my focus, my endurance will improve, but... as Fay said, the "Forest" boundary, whatever.

That's why stretching the boundaries outside the woods to the doughnut-shaped soleira... might not be possible.

"I'm in trouble...."

After all, I can only protect the forest. [M]Outside the woods, Soleira is home to many people, but I don't seem to have enough power to create a boundary to protect them.

"Hey, Fay, I think I can handle this if I train."

Ki, train? You?

"Yeah."

I know it's not a problem to train your muscles.However, because I don't know what to train, it becomes such a vague way of listening.But no matter where you train, I'll do it.Sure enough, Soleira is out of the woods.But all those who live there are the children of the forest.

I can do my best to protect the forest boy.

"... I'll train you."

... but Faye's expression didn't float.

"Do you think you can do something about this?"

What can I do for you?

"No, I mean, normally, your magic is the strength of the union.And your magic is growing, isn't it? "

Yeah, I guess so. I'm not really aware of it, so I don't really understand it.I somehow became aware that magic was flowing through my body, and I was able to learn some ways to suppress it and flush it, but... it's pretty hard to tell if it's increasing.

"Besides, it's hard to train....."

"Muscles."

"I don't think muscles have anything to do with it."

Yes... Somehow, I felt like I could protect everything if I had the physical beauty of Laocles...

"... I wish I was as big as Laocles."

"You? Stop it, stop it, it doesn't suit you. It doesn't suit me!"

I'm glad you stopped saying that.... no, but it certainly doesn't suit you.

"I know what it's like to yearn, right?Yeah, I'm looking at the Knights of the Forest, thinking I'm a little awesome. "

Yeah, yeah. Right. That's awesome. I admire it a little.

"Because I'm a bitch, I can't even reach to protect it...."

The yearning for the Knights of the Forest is probably because I'm a prick. [M]I want to be as tall as Fay, and the world would be different if there were Laocles, and the bigger the body, the more things I could protect, the more I could reach out, and I could keep all the forest children inside my arms...

"... hey, Corgo"

Oh, no. I was a little nervous.

Looking at me like that, Fay suggested it while scratching her cheeks.

"Well, tomorrow morning. Show me the ruins of the border.I may not know what you're looking at, but there's something I can tell you.Then we'll figure out what to do. Maybe we can make some kind of external magic that strengthens the bond. "

"Thank you. I'm counting on you."

... for now, let's first analyze and analyze.I don't know myself very well... first check the status quo. Okay.

And the next day.

Fei and I had breakfast together, we split the bread into the birds that came in through the window, and then we came to the forest ruins together.

"Long time no see."

When I called out, the birds that were jingling in the trees near the ruins rang out louder and welcomed me.... you're welcome, right?

"Is that a bird?"

"Yeah, maybe they hatched for me."

It's new in my memory to hold an egg and warm it up.And when you think of it as a bird born of a warmed egg, somehow it seems a little cute... well, I'm glad you're growing up alive.

The birds came down with smoke and surrounded us.The size of a bird is like a big cushion.It's about the height of our hips to our chests. Yeah, cute.

... if I thought...

"... don't come any closer."

Come closer.

When they do, the birds come by.Soon we'll be completely surrounded.....

... and the push-kura manju has begun!

"Wow, what? What?"

Even if you ask, the chorus of cum-kun, jiang-jiang, and squeal just resonates.And so fluffy. And so plump...

Ah, it's just getting hot in the early summer weather! No, no, no!

After all, after about 5 minutes of fluffy rubbing, we were finally released.... the feathers are a cage of heat.I sweated a little and felt moist.

"Oh, oh... what was that?"

"Come on...."

Faye seems to be more resistant to heat than I am to hair disturbance. [M]And feathery. I'm feathery.

"... let's go in for now."

"Yeah."

I decided not to mind the welcome of the birds.No, I mean, it's a bird. It's his kid... well, he's going to do something weird, isn't he? Yeah.

"Nh... wow, this is an old building."

Fay walks with a close look inside the ruins.I think it might be dangerous to walk with a little glance, but Fay is serious so it's hard to speak up.It couldn't be helped, so I decided instead to keep an eye on Faye's feet. [M]If it's dangerous, it's dangerous.

"The magic is running wildly.Um, this looks like... uh, corn.Running like a corn. "

Something like me running?... it's really strange to hear just words.

"Hmm...? Ah, is this the forest?A tree or a tree root? "

It's kind of interesting to hear Faye talking to herself. Fragmented.

... no, the roots of the trees certainly look everywhere.From the stone to the stone of the ruins, it looks like the tip of the tree roots is showing its face, and since the ruins are underground in the first place, I think the roots of the trees planted nearby are mostly in a position to touch the ruins.

As we continue walking, we finally reach the deepest part of the ruins.

"Fay, it's the end."

When I go to the front, it's a little bit of a big space, for example.Something like a glowing sphere floats in the middle of a circular room, and a line of light extends to the floor and wall around the pedestal.

I've been on maintenance for a while now.Touch the middle sphere, see how it goes, and focus on me... okay, okay.

Looking back at Fay, I thought I'd tell him it was good, and Fay...

"Ah, that? Faye?"

Faye sat on the spot.

"What's wrong? Tired?"

It's been a long time, so I wonder if I've exhausted you.But I think Fei has a lot of strength.

"Nh... no, it's okay."

Fay made me flip my hand as a "all right" gesture.

"It's just that you're a little drunk here."

And you told me why... are you drunk?

Of course, I understand that Faye is not lying.Sweat floats on Faye's forehead, which didn't sweat even with the pressed bird manju just now.

The air in this space is thick, or something like that, and it feels comfortable for me... maybe it feels uncomfortable for Faye.

Um, so, are you leaving now?

"No, just take a look.It doesn't make sense to be here. "

With that said, Fay approached the middle sphere with a slightly fluffy step... so he began to examine the pedestal, the floor, and the sphere.

There's nothing I can do, so I'm just waiting for the results while supporting Faye in her research...

"All right, we got a minute! And I'm at my limit!I'm coming back, go! "

When I heard Faye scream like a burn, I hurriedly pulled Faye's hand and turned around!

I lent my shoulders and dragged the fluffy façade back. [M]When we managed to get out of the ruins, the birds stopped by again.

"No, Fay, it's hot right now. Don't do that."

And I was about to start masturbating, so I stopped in a hurry.Then the birds tilted their heads together.Ah, it's kind of a little hateful trick.A frog child is a frog, a bird child is a bird...

"Faye, are you okay?"

"Rajjubu....."

Somehow, I put the fake that is not turning around to the root of the tree, and then draw a water bucket and a hand-painted towel, and squeeze the hand-painted towel with cold water and put it on the forehead of the fake.After cooling down a little, Faye seems to have recovered a little.

... and soon the birds started to jiang-jiang-kun again!No, no!

"Ahi....."

"I'm sorry about my bird...."

Finally, Faye and I, finally released, are already so hot...!Faye, who seems to be resistant to the heat, loosens the tie and widens her collar, slapping her with a fan.I'm sorry, but I drew a juice full of ice.My bird... I'm sorry about my bird...

"Uh... no, but... Maybe these birds have come to divide their magic.Look, when it comes to wisdom fever, there's a little girl with less magic coming along, right?That's it, that's it. "

Ah, that's what you said before.This world's intellectual fever was different from mine. [M]

"So, well... maybe you inhaled my magic to catch the heat of wisdom, or maybe you just came to give it to the massive magic spill of corn.Well, I don't know. "

... because the birds are those birds.So... I don't feel like I'm thinking about anything!

But, well, if that makes the fake a little easier, well, that's good...

While I was taking a break from drinking juice, the birds stopped by.I don't have any for you!I tried to say it, but you don't care if it doesn't work, because the birds are coming to hold my beak in the juice glass, so I hurried out the juice for the birds.Put it in something like a big tarai.

... so when I saw the birds start drinking juice, we finally got to settle down and talk.

So, this ruins and the junction of the woods.

Fay drank the juice while leaning against the trunk of the tree, and began to talk as he watched the birds bell around the tarai and pressed against each other.

"First of all... you've gotten so much stronger than the last time I saw you..."

... yeah. Well, yeah. I knew that.That's because Faye got drunk last time.

"Since you became a spirit, you've gotten a lot better there."

Oh, I know that too. When I was first brought here by a bird before I became a Spirit, the light from the sphere in the center of the junction device was quite weak.Now that it's shining brightly, well... I guess it means I'm fine.

"So, here it is."

Fay stepped out a bit, turned to me sitting next to me, and started talking with a sort of exciting face.

"It's that device. As I told you before, magic that creates ancient borders is built into it.That's the junction device. I'm sure of it.... and I knew it was for the Spirit! "

Fei really likes this kind of thing.My face is shining.

"That device is also used to create borders... to gather magic from the woods and maintain them!"

Fay talks with excitement.

"Perfect construction. No, it's really artistic, Corn.This is really to protect the Forest.Collect magic from the forest, add the magic of spirits to that magic, and create a boundary to protect the "forest".The magic of the Spirit is absorbed by the forest, and the magic created by the forest is gathered under the Spirit and used for the boundary... magic circulates beautifully. "

Faye's story is somehow something I knew only by feeling.But as soon as I hear it in words, I can understand it in a clear way, so it's interesting.

"Well, it's really good governance that collects taxes and uses them for territory.No, it worked really well.This is such a useless magical combination, so massive... it's amazing. "

Fay smiled with a full smile... and then he turned to me again, just as he noticed.

"I mean, what you were doing was protecting taxes from the woods and your personal belongings beyond the scope of taxation."

"Complete"

The analogy is easy to understand. The point is that the boundaries are originally limited to the woods, and it is impossible to do so because the boundaries have been extended to the town.The reason for this is that the magic of collecting taxes is not gained from the city.So it is a burden on me, and for that reason, is the boundary thin or weak? [M]

"I mean, if Soleira's protecting herself at the border, we need to figure out how to collect taxes."

Then Fay looks a little serious.

"Well, then, it's just a burden on you.It would be futile of you to let out the magic to protect the town alone.That's why you can't suck magic from the people in town? "

Faye is staring at me with a worried face.... Fay's feelings are happy, and I know what he's saying.I know.

"Hmm... I don't know how to do it, and I don't want to do it without technical problems."

"... I see."

If they suck magic from Soleira's inhabitants, their lifespan may shrink, slow their children's growth, or have such a negative impact.And... because I know that Faye suffers from less magic.That's why I don't want to do anything to reduce the magic of Soleira's people.

People are free. It's different from the trees.If you can go anywhere, if you go somewhere else, you'll be away from me.

Or when I can't protect them and I'm doomed.Even then, they don't have to share my destiny with me.When I perish, the trees and flowers of the forest will have to perish with me, but the animals and especially the people are different.I want them to be free.That's why I don't want you to tie me up.

"... well then, there's no helping it."

If I was worried, Fay nodded heavily...

"Then we'll have to increase the forest!"

... huh?
