The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"What, what!?" Sorry! Togo! Your magic is delicious! Feast! "

"Ah, that was cheap... not cheap!" Bamboo! Bamboo is stealing my magic power! "

Oh, my God! The Bamboo Man is probably trying to invade the forest in earnest! Oh, how did this happen!

"This may not be the first time I've said it's a waste." Hey, Togo. What do we do? I think it's your hand that draws it and erases it. "

"Ah, if I do that, every magic power stolen by bamboo will disappear... oh, this guy has taken the important magic power of the forest hostage!" Let's do this! Let's do this! "

"The cane is unusually rough..."

I tried kicking bamboo, but it didn't scare me. That's right. It's bamboo! Oh no!

"If the magic power of the forest disappears, even temporarily, the boundary of the forest will be weakened." I think the richness of Soleila will be a little depressed temporarily... if possible, I would like to recover the magic power of the forest and then extinguish the bamboo... "

"That means, instead of just erasing the bamboo, I'll log it and secure your magic power accumulated in the cylinder." What am I supposed to do? For the time being, cut all of it. "

Yeah. Well, in the end, we have to cut all the bamboo cylinders and take back the contents. So, if I sprinkle the contents of the cylinder into the forest, well, it'll be back on....?

"Ahh, but if you cast magic power where the bamboo is, the bamboo will suck it up again... ah"

... it was then.

The feeling that something is coming runs through me. It's going to come and go without a doubt.

"What's the matter, Tougo?"

"Hey, something's coming... no, no, don't come, don't come"

Even though I don't know what's going to happen, there's definitely a feeling that something is going to happen, and it's getting stronger and stronger with every sensation in my body...

Gradually, a piercing shock ran through her body. At the same time... in front of us, bamboo, a few times thicker than ordinary bamboo, was growing!

"Yaah! No, no, no! No way! Hey, stop! Stop, yeah!"

As the bamboo grows rhythmically, I feel like I'm being squeezed out of my body. Ahhh! They're stealing my magic!

"What are you going to do!? Cut it!? Do you want to turn it off!?"

"Neither, neither..."

"In the meantime, I'll erase the basement stems!" Prevent damage and the spread of bamboo! "

While I was being struck by bamboo, Lao Cres flinched, and the teacher was in a hurry to write again.

“What's the matter? I came back in a hurry because I heard your cute screams, but... oh

And then Croa and Lila, who were treating barbs in town, came back...

"Well, that's splendid..."

"Awesome. Not as good as Laocres' arm, you bamboo."

I started to praise the bamboo! That's not what I'm talking about!

... so...

"There's more bamboo..."

In front of us, there are many bamboos that have grown energetically. [M] "There's a lot of bamboo about the size of Laocles' arm..."

"It's a fairy's magic." It seemed to be a magic that energized the plants... but it acted on the bamboo and turned it into a plant that took away the magic of the forest. "

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

I told Angel, "You don't have to worry about it", but I definitely turned into a bit of a bamboo forest...

”Uuu... I'm going to become a bamboo forest...”

"Boo, cheer up, Turbo." I see? I'm fine. Don't worry about that. Let's take care of the bamboo and put it back. "

Faye will encourage you again, but I will become a bamboo forest...

"Feii... even if I become a bamboo forest instead of a forest, will you be my best friend...?"

"Oh, oh...?"

You really don't like bamboo forests?

"No, no, I don't want to!" No, it's okay, Tuogo! I'll always be your best friend! "

Faye says that and starts blowing my head off. [M]... next to that, Laocles, Sensei, and Crore had an indescribable look on their faces. "No, even if you make me look like that... I'm worried..."

I don't know what to do with this bamboo anyway.

When I got a little settled, my teacher quickly made a plan for me.

"If you cut it normally, the nectar inside will diminish, and the bamboo will be energized by that amount." Then he won't be able to solve it after all. "

Yeah. The one I just did. Yes... if you spill my magic power in the bamboo festival to the root of the bamboo, the bamboo will grow very energetically from there... I want to avoid that! No matter what!

"Let's start with the underground stem... let's do something about the root." Leave it to me. [M] Let's make sure to turn it off. And I'll try to rewrite it so that I can't stretch my roots anymore. This may take a little longer... but let's cut down the bamboo that has grown after removing the magic from the forest in the lowest section. Well, there was an instrument for collecting moonlight nectar, wasn't there? Let's use that. "

It doesn't cut off all at once, but after processing, right?

Yeah. It's going to take a while, but if we don't... it's going to be a bamboo forest in Togo.

That's what the teacher said and stroked my head. Ugh, thank you, Doctor. I really don't want to be a bamboo grove!

Alright! Now, let's recover the magic power from the bamboo!

I made up my mind and decided to get ready! For me and the many people who live in me! We're going to fight it out!

Therefore, when drawing honey from bamboo, mass-production is carried out, and it is gradually pushed into the lower section of the bamboo, which is very thick.

It's a method of gently drilling a hole in a knife and catching the honey flowing out of it with an instrument, so it doesn't take much time.

"Mr. Tougo, I got it." Yes, please. "

Thank you, Crore!

And the honey I've drawn... I'll drink it.

... because the quickest way for me to drink it is to return magic power to the forest. No, if you sprinkle it near the bamboo poorly, it will become nutritious again. "In order not to do so, it would be nice if I drank my magic power and gave it back..."

"Hey, Turtle. The honey of the forest's magic, but now... can I have a taste?"

When I was drinking nectar, Lila came gently from the side.

"Huh? Yeah. Okay. Go ahead."

What, is that okay? I'm just asking, is that the magic of the forest?

When I handed Lila a bamboo tube with nectar in it, she was a little confused... but I don't think there's a problem.

"Yes, because Lila is a child of the forest." Even if the magic power of the forest enters Lyla, it won't interfere with circulation.... "

"Ah, that's how it is..."

"Yes. If the person who drank the honey stayed in Soleila for a night or so, the excess magic would be returned to the forest, and if it wasn't, the magic would be used to cheer up the forest child, and it wouldn't be a problem at all..."

The point is that if the bamboo uses too much magic power to grow the bamboo, or if the magic power is stored in the bamboo and the magic power of the forest does not circulate, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, when I asked Lila to drink the magic nectar of the forest...

"... oh, it's delicious!"

Lila's face glowed as she squinted her eyes. Is that so?

"What, this is so delicious!" I like moonlight nectar too, but I like it even more! I really like it! "

"Ah, thank you..."

"...... I'm not praising you anymore." Don't get me wrong. "

"Ah, ah, yeah, I'm sorry... I'm so happy somehow..."

Lila's eyes were strangely moist, but since I'm in the woods, I can't help but feel like I'm being praised for my magical powers......

Then everyone tasted the honey from the forest and said, "It's so delicious!" I was doing it. "It seems that Angel, who was crying, also got better with delicious nectar. I smile. Crore praises me for saying that I want to go to the Fairy Café." It's a bit embarrassing... "

Alright, that's the last of it.

Gradually, the bamboo was cut off and finally became the last bamboo.

Laocles waved his axe at the bamboo that seemed to be growing on his shoulders in the first giant planter where the bamboo was growing...

Pong.

... before Laocles' axe touched the bamboo, the bamboo suddenly blossomed.

And... pong.

The bamboo flowers immediately change into fruits.

That's how... the bamboo came to fruition.

... I wonder what this is...

"...... Is this a surrender declaration?"

We are troubled by the fruit of bamboo. [M] The sudden movement of the bamboo was an act of doing almost all of the magic of the bamboo... er, judging that there was no hostility, I put it on hold for now. In order not to add more bamboo, I have painted and erased the remaining part of the cut bamboo on the ground, and I have redrawn the stone planter... I am surrounded by this much, so I wonder if it will be okay.

"The phoenix is delighted."

"Did you like this, too?" I didn't know that. "

For the time being, the phoenix and the phoenix were extremely pleased. For Phoenix, the bamboo fruit is a favorite or something like a snack, but it seems that it doesn't change the fact that it is a favorite food.

The phoenix and the bamboo fruit of the bamboo are deliciously pruned and singing with pleasure. In addition, she was in a good mood and rubbed herself against me, Liane, and Angel. All right, good for you.

"... I don't know what to do, Bamboo"

Huh? I don't think so.

Now. I'm a little worried when I see these delightful phoenixes.

"Maybe the bamboo fruit is tastier than usual."... I feel like the phoenix is responding better than usual. "

When I said that, the phoenix said, "That's right! 'Rub it on me as if to say,'" I see, it's delicious after all... "

”But, if there's more bamboo, maybe you'll become a bamboo forest this time?”

"Ugh... I hate that, but... hmmm"

That's right. I don't want to be a bamboo forest because I'm in the forest. This time, bamboo invaded the territory, which was very troubling. This forest is going to be turned into a bamboo forest.

... that's not good. That's not good. However, because bamboo grows here, the phoenixes can eat delicious bamboo fruits, and the fairies are in the playground, and the moonlight nectar gathers... If the moonlight nectar is not picked, there will be no way to go to the night country, and the menu of the fairy cafe will be reduced...

That is to say.

Um! The magic power on the ground is for the forest, so I hope you don't inhale it!

I tried to insist on bamboo.

... no, I'm in the woods, and this is bamboo. Because I thought it was okay to understand the words.

Then, Pong and the bamboo grew fruit. Hmm, hmm...?

"... does this mean 'I understand'?"

"No, if we don't know Togo, we don't know much more."

"Ah, yeah, that's right..."

No, but I think I may be able to communicate. I want to. That's why I continue to insist on bamboo.

"... um, and don't leave the planter." I'm going to become a bamboo forest. "

Then the bamboo shakes its leaves with a touch of water.... I wonder if that means disobedience!

"If you use more magic power, the magic power of the forest will disappear, and I and the children of the people who live here will be in trouble." So if you want to live in the woods, don't leave the block you've decided on. After all, I don't want to be a bamboo forest. Bamboo is just a neighbor, I want you to be like that... "

The bamboo was unchanged and it was shaking with displeasure... but as soon as the word "neighbor" came out, a bamboo flower blossomed. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

"...... Will you be a good neighbor? Do you want to invade?"

Furthermore, when I asked, the bamboo really changed the flowers.... maybe, definitely!

Great! Now there's peace between the woods and the bamboo... I think! Maybe!

But if you invade again, you'll be ruthlessly destroyed!

When I remembered, the bamboo gave birth again to pompous fruits. I just need you to understand.

"Well then, if you can suck that magic up from the ground... but if it's magic that's seeping into the air like moonlight, then if it's just a little bit... you can suck it up."

... so I'll make a bit of a concession. It was pathetic that this bamboo could no longer live on the boulder.

However, as soon as I said that, the bamboo started to grow inside the stone planter, so I panicked.

"Just a little! Just a little!"

Although I said in a hurry, the bamboo grew more and more, and each bamboo grew again. Um... I think you probably understand. I didn't take the magic power from the ground with me. It seems that only magic power that drifts in the air and is not very efficient to use is sucked away by bamboo.

... well, let's see. "It's impossible to communicate with bamboo anymore, so let's make a compromise here..."

That's why.

"The territory of bamboo has been slightly increased." After that, the magic power flowing into the forest air was decided by the bamboo to suck. However, instead, I decided to have the forest nectar and moonlight nectar accumulated in the bamboo divided as usual, so...... please go to the menu of the fairy cafe. "

The next day, I'll report to everyone what I put together with the bamboo.

No, in the end, I want to see and draw beautiful bamboo, and I want moonlight nectar, so I gave way to bamboo to some extent. It was a symbiotic relationship. Therefore, the size of the stone planter is about twice as large as before.

Also, it seems like it could be used as a fairy playground or inn.

And even though the bamboo was originally used as a playground by the fairies, from now on the bamboo will actively attract the fairies. Make a small hole in the bamboo and put a fairy-sized futon in it, and the fairy inn is ready.

"Hmm. Well, I'm not sure, but I'm glad."

"Yes. Thank goodness, make peace."

I shake hands with the bamboo (just pretending to be a bamboo branch) and laugh at Lila, who has a somewhat lethargic face.

"Well, I'm not sure, but I'm glad."

"Yeah, I don't know, but if you're saying that sprouts are good, that's fine."

"I see. I don't know at all, but, well... you're settling down peacefully, right?"

... are you sure you don't understand everyone but me? I see. Well, that kind of thing, the peace between bamboo and the forest...

And, well, that's why.

Bamboo is more energetic than before, and somehow it has something that seems like a will, and it has grown more wiggly and modestly. It seems that the fairy is doing well with bamboo, and the phoenix and the bamboo can't bear to eat snacks, which has improved the shine, and the cafe has an increased menu.

The new menu at the Fairy Cafe is particularly popular. Forest mousse cake full of magic You can't leave Soleila for 24 hours after eating!) and "The magic tea of the forest" (* You can't leave Soleila for 24 hours after drinking it!) "It seems that she gets very energetic when she mouths it.

...... If the person who ate the magic power of the forest leaves Soleila immediately, the magic power will no longer circulate in the forest, so I will have the person who ate it stay in Soleila for more than 24 hours. As a result, this menu is no longer available for pickup. Exclusive soleila menu. The set sale menu with Inn is recommended.

However, such inconvenience seemed to create a sense of premiere again, and people came from the capital and started to order. Thanks to this, Solaila's foreign currency has fallen, and Faye's dad is hanging around. Looks like the Red Gardes are happy, and so am I. [M]

... but sometimes people try to get out of the woods in less than 24 hours, or they try to sneak out of town to hear their reputation.

I'm sorry for that person, but I'm going to have him caught by the roots in front of the town gate. The soldiers at the gate will find us and catch us.

... the bamboo has had a positive impact on Soleila. Well, if they don't invade, good neighbors. Really.

And then there's another one. Something unexpected and happy happened.

"Nnnh, these days, the forest feels cozy." I'm no longer intoxicated with magic power.

Faye laughed as she said that.

... Faye was a little weak in the air around the ruins. It seemed like I would be intoxicated by magic, so I couldn't stay too long. And apparently, for him, there was a little bit of a drunkenness around my house, too, sometimes with too much magic.

However, since the bamboo began to suck in extra magic power, it seemed to make Faye feel more comfortable around here. I said, 'I can feel the magic, but I'm not drunk anymore!'.

"Thanks to the bamboo, I guess."

"Ugh, I feel a bit complicated..."

It's a complicated mood. It's a complicated mood, but for me, it's a pleasure to have my best friend stay comfortably without being intoxicated by magic... well, I'm glad the bamboo has increased a bit.

"... but thank you."

I'll just thank you for it. And the bamboo swayed, and swayed, and brought forth one fruit. Um, is this' you're welcome '...?

... I didn't think my people would be more difficult to communicate with than birds!

"However, if this guy suddenly increases, I wonder what kind of wind is blowing around now that he's so quiet and cooperative?"

Then, all at once, Faye muttered and tilted her neck.

"I thought you were going to invade the forest even more... but I wonder if the flowing rocks were bad enough for the opponents of Tsuruga and Uppsen."

Well... if we allow the magic power of the forest to be somewhat lost, we won't be able to extinguish the bamboo in an instant. If Bamboo also knows that, I think it's not strange that it's a decision to live with a level of maturity that can't be extinguished.

"Fufufu, maybe I missed you."

... and I thought, as the teacher said that, I started to do it relaxedly.

Sir

"Hey, Togo, Faye. And bamboo. How are you?"

We respond to the teacher's greeting. The bamboo was also responding with a little sway.... well, there's even a torrent, so even if there's no wind, there's no resistance to moving plants. "But isn't this bamboo anymore, maybe it's another plant..." "No, not now..."

"Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" What do you mean, I missed you? "

If I had thought about the biological classification of bamboo, Faye would have asked her teacher with interest. The teacher sits down next to us to respond to it, and he talks to us for a second.

"Bamboo may have been envious to see everyone in the forest doing well." I wanted to be more involved, and Angel's magic hit just in time, and the bamboo could do various things on its own... so the bamboo was happy and stretched out.... I guess it's just... "

"... were you lonely?"

When I heard the teacher's explanation, I was able to do something about it. I feel that the bamboo is completely dull.

Well, I don't know how bamboo feels, but it's all speculation and delusion.

That's what the teacher adds, but as far as I'm concerned, bamboo felt almost like that.

Well... actually, I don't know what Bamboo thinks. No, I really don't know if bamboo is thinking of anything in the first place!

"... um, I'll be very grateful to you in the future."

While greeting the bamboo, I don't think this is a bad idea.

If we could get along, we wouldn't have gone too far. Let's get along so we don't miss each other.

... and after the reconciliation with the bamboo, it's been a while.

"It's about time that there was a sign of spring, in the woods..."

"Tougo, you're here"

I think I found Angel, who rushed to find me.

Angel was surrounded by fluffy fairies. I thought you were taking a walk or a break, but in that case, everyone was serious.

What's the matter?

Well, I begged the Spirit of the Forest, the Queen of the Fairy Land.

After asking, Angel and the fairies corrected their postures and said.

I want to create a place where fairies can have fun with humans!
