Chapter 427: I Look Forward to Seeing What Its Like (2/2)

When I asked her how long it would take to grow and stuff like that, Lillywood-san calmly explained.

”Ahh, please don't worry. The seedling I'm going to give you has been modified, so you can grow it in a pot.”

[I- Is that so. I'm relieved to hear that.]

”The World Tree is said to be a mass of magic power of Healing. A decoction of its leaves is said to cure all diseases, and its fruit can be eaten to heal all kinds of wounds…… Well, they were a bit over-exaggerated, but since it always carries a small amount of magic power of Healing, it will help you relax.”

Perhaps, feeling embarrassed to give an explanation about something that could be said was her own body, Lillywood-san explained to me with a faint blush on her cheeks.

When she said that I could grow it in a pot, does that mean I can imagine it as some kind of decorative plant like bonsais? If it's that big, I guess I can be relieved.

”However, the modifications came with some negative effects…… At best, it will only produce one fruit per year.”

No, that's enough already. It's important, so I'll say it again, that's enough already.

Or rather, it would still bear fruit huh…… A Fruit of the World Tree, I mean. For the world's rarest fruit to be something you could easily harvest…… Well, I've been using Fruits of the World Tree as an energy drink, so I guess I can't really say that……

[I see. I understand. I'll take good care of it.]

”Yes. I'd be happy if that's the case.”

I've never grown a plant other than the loofah I grew back when I was in elementary school but…… It isn't something that I can just let it die. I'll buy a book later and study how to properly raise it.

”Now then, I guess we should get going.”

[Ah, yes. Once again, I'll be in your care today.]

”Me too. I'm glad to be going around with you today, Kaito-san.”

[………………]

She really had quite a bad habit of nonchalantly saying such things with a smile. Because of what happened yesterday, I somehow feel like I'm being strangely conscious of her.

A- Anyway, Lillywood-san is going to show me around, so let's just make sure we enjoy the day.

Dear Mom, Dad————- The second day of the Six Kings Festival has begun, and Lillywood-san is leading me around. I still don't know in detail what kind of festival it is, but I guess that's why———– I look forward to seeing what it's like.

Serious-senpai: [Potted plant-sized World Tree…… Small World Tree…… Spirit…… Loli girl…… Ugghhh…… My head hurts……]

This time is Kuro!
