Chapter 284 Reporting is Important (1/2)

Quicker than my brain can catch up with the fact that Lynn has an ability that is inherently impossible for her to acquire, Lilia-san and the others began discussing it with serious expressions on their faces.

Incidentally, Aoi-chan and Hina-chan were very quick to tell me that they “had something they need to do” and went somewhere…… Skillfully retreating like flowing water…… The two of them just raised their hands.

[……Come to think of it, isn’t Lynn’s magic power pretty big too?]

[Yes, Lynn-chan is in her “magic power growth period”, but even if she weren’t, I think that this amount of magic power is too big.]

[Miyama-sama, did you feed her anything strange?]

……Did I feed her anything strange…… Arehh? What should I do, there’s something that popped out of my mind.

[……Ahh.]

[……Kaito-san?]

Hearing the voice that reflexively leaked out of my mouth, Lilia-san questioningly looked back at me.

[……Ah, no, errr……]

[This is just a guess…… but could it be that you thought of something?]

[……E- Errr……]

[Kaito-san?]

[……I did have one.]

The smile on Lilia-san looks like she’s about to burst. She’s smiling now but…… Her smile doesn’t reach her eyes at all, and looking closely, I could see her veins popping out of her forehead.

Her whole body was filled with an aura that seems to scream “You did something again?” which looks outrageously frightening.

[So? What did you feed her?]

When I honestly admitted that I did so, with that smile still on her face, Lilia-san approached me and put a hand on my shoulder…… Perhaps, this means that she wouldn’t get angry if I honestly tell her…… Unnn. Let’s believe that’s the case.

I kinda feel like I’ve been hearing a cracking sound from my shoulder for a while now, and my shoulder hurts like hell…… I- I guess that’s just my imagination, right?

Feeling a chilling sensation ran through my innards, I timidly…… speak out the thing that I think was the cause of Lynn’s abilities.

[……Fru……]

[Fru?]

[Fruit…… of the World Tree……]

[………………..]

When Lilia-san heard my words, her knees lost strength and she immediately collapsed.

[My Lady! P- Please pull yourself together……]

[……F- Fruit of…… t- the World Tree?]

Yes, as a matter of fact, when I was working on the music boxes, I was eating the Fruits of the World Tree while I was working, and Lynn happened to see while I was eating one, and she kept asking me to feed her a Fruit of the World Tree.

I kept refusing her in the beginning, because there are lots of other foods that she can eat stocked, but Lynn is just too cute…… or rather, she was being persistent about it, so I had no choice but to feed her.

Thereupon, she seems to like it a lot, as she started to beg me for it, and when she helps out, like times when I’m bathing Bell, she would ask me to feed her that as a reward.

[Ummm, Sieg-san. That really was the cause, right?]

[I think it’s very possible. Monsters have two separate growth periods: One for their bodies and another for their magic power. Lynn-chan is currently in her magic power growth period……. There’s a common belief that if you give a monster food with magic power during its magic power growth period, its magic power will increase.]

[……………..]

[The Fruit of the World Tree is like a powerful mass of healing magic power, so I believe that its magic power mixed with Lynn-chan’s magic power during her growth phase, making her change…… No, I think it would be better to describe it as evolved.]

It was even more outrageous than I thought!? F- For me, it was just supposed to be a reward for my cute Lynn…… I- I never thought that her magic power would be affected by it and change her at all.

As I was stunned by Sieg-san’s explanation…… Lilia-san slowly stood up.

[……Rather than that…… What the heck did you think you’re giving her!? Seriously, you!!!]

[Gueehhh!? L- Lilia-san…… It hurts……]

[Why are you feeding your pet the Fruit of the World Tree, which is so hard to even get one of, as if it was just a snack!?]

[I- I’m…… sor…… ry.]

Grabbing my collar, Lilia-san strongly rocks me back and forth, and as I felt my mind getting shook, I tried squeezing out an apology.

Lilia-san started yelling at me for a while, before she let go of her grip and lets out a loud sigh.

[……Geez, you really are out of the norm……]

[Erhem…… I- I’m sorry I did it again.]
