"Master, I don't have any pain or anything, and I don't feel weak!

A declaration of safety was also received from Harkara himself.

"Great. Well, I guess we'll be able to rescue him without a problem."

"Yes. My body is a little grumpy, and I don't know what to say. My body doesn't move much, but I want to wait carefully for the rescue!

It's just a matter of not being able to move, but if you're not in danger for your life, there's nothing wrong with that.

And almost at the same time Lycra came back with a thick tree branch...

"Mr. Halkara, I'm going to help you now! If you stab this branch into that creature..."

Pooh! and Halkara was spit out of the swamp crystal.

It is suspicious if the expression spit out is correct, but Halkara was started from the body of the marsh crystal.

It felt like a toy that would start my black bearded uncle out of a barrel, flying almost straight up, landing. When I got off, I didn't even seem to scratch my leg.

"Oh, I'm out. - Ah! Mr. Lycra, please stop swinging down the branches! Instead, you'll bump into each other and die!

Dangerously, a branch nearly hit Harkara's brain weather directly, but Lycra managed to stop it there.

"I'm glad you're okay, Mr. Halkara."

"Thank you! I thought it would dissolve just my clothes with the lysate!

That's a specific sense of crisis in some weird place.

"You're back safe! But I want you to be sure that Lycra is willing to help me."

Halkara was hugging Lycra. Yeah, yeah, everything's fine if it's over.

"Because it's natural to help your family. It's just... Mr. Halkara..."

After Lycra looked proud, she turned away with a subtle look.

"Just a little, you're soggy..."

"Really...? Was it because you were in a swamp crystal?

I'm glad they didn't hug me more......

We took back a few swamp crystals as samples and kept them behind the plateau house.

I was in the box and poured water into it.

Let's leave it to Halkara to decide what to do with it.

But it was dinner time, and something strange happened.

Halkara doesn't come to dinner.

That's crazy. I did see you go back to your room...

No way, you haven't poisoned around and collapsed later......

I opened the door to Halkara's room.

"Halkara, it's okay!?

"Yes, I'm fine"

Sure, it doesn't look like Halkara is suffering, and I don't suppose there's any jellyfish poison, but there's something unnatural about it.

Halkara somehow has her feet together like Zazen and her hands around her stomach.

My eyes are closed, and this, isn't it really Zazen...?

But I wonder if there's a religion in this world that does zazen...... The structure of the human body is the same, so it's not strange if someone sits like that.

"Um, Halkara, we're ready for dinner. By the way, what are you doing?

"I'm training to be enlightened"

Halkara said in a calm voice.

I can decide that the usual Halkara would be kidding, but Halkara looks like some kind of bee right now.

"What? You've never trained before, have you? What the hell kind of blow? The owners were also influenced by business books like the conscious ones?

Is it like someone who made money wakes up ecologically?

Even in my previous life, I think some people started out like yoga.

"There's no reason. Instead, you don't need a reason or anything. I should do it from the time I thought about starting my training. Training is not like getting started when you're ready."

You mentioned something really conscious......

"Wouldn't you like to start your master, too?

I opened my eyes that Halkara had closed.

My eyes were glittering!

What do you mean? The characters are changing!

"This world can be a lot ugly. But that's why it's nothing to stay flirted with. Once you calm your mind, will you see the truth about this world?"

I feel like I'm saying good things, but because of my usual halkara, I grumble furiously.

"Halkara, haven't you been hiding and eating poison mushrooms? I don't know what it means, but I think I've done something that might affect my mind."

When it comes to Halkara, I suspect the poisonous mushroom first.

"I didn't eat anything like that. It's true to turn the whole world against enemies. I'm not lying."

Don't turn the whole world against your enemies for that much.

"I know it's not a poisonous mushroom, but you had some trigger. Tell me about it. If it stays unexplained, it's scarier than poisonous mushrooms..."

"The trigger - you mean the opportunity to go for the path of enlightenment"

Don't put it another way. Besides, that's certainly not what you mean.

Harkara seemed to be conceiving. From that poor acting Halkara, you'd better consider it all serious.

"Right, will it be when they take your body in the swamp crystal? I had the feeling that my obsession with the world would slowly dissolve into the body of a swamp crystal. When I came out of the swamp crystal, I felt reborn."

"That's it -!

It would almost certainly be due to swamp crystals. When it comes to the unusual things that have happened in this short period of time, that's exactly it. Moreover, since only Harukala was taken in, it is also convincing that the change was limited to Harukala.

Ms. Curina said that being taken in by a swamp crystal would not endanger her life, nor would it deprive her of her strength.

I guess that's true.

But could it take away the "cloudy part of my heart"?
