21 "Lets grow Doriard," (1/2)

”Uh, um,

I don't know what it was, but as soon as I entered the tower, I was apologized for it.

I managed to get here despite the heavy snowfall on the way, but my opponent is known as the Snow Witch.

Will there be a battle at last?　I went into the tower, but it wasn't anything like that!

I'm not sure what's going on here. It's so abrupt I have no idea.

Master!

”Oh, you're Dora-chan!　Are you safe?

Meanwhile, Dora-chan appeared from the back and jumped on my shoulder.

Huh?　Isn't this already the goal?

But the witch in front of me kept her head down, and I didn't feel like going home like this.

”Master, can you help me with this one?

Hmm, what do you mean?

I remember you asked for help earlier.

When I asked again, the Snow Witch put her hat back on and went to the back of the room.

Sometimes she'll turn around and stare at you. Her eyes are obscured by her hair.

Are you asking me to follow you?

For now, I'll ask Lily and Fitis on both sides for advice, but they'll leave it to me.

Well, it's a fate. Shall I stay with you to the end?

I'll follow the witch for a while, and we'll come to a space like a wide hall.

The ground in that hall is covered with earth and a woman whose lower body is slumped in a tree.

The ”Doriade

Phytis next to me mumbles to himself.

Oh, I see. So that's the doliad.

So I was just about to move closer to her when the Snow Witch pulled on my sleeve and made me say something.

...... her.

After a few moments of lip-synching, I finally squeezed out a line and it was.

Well, uh, maybe, but is she a bad talker ......?

And you want me to help that kid, maybe something like that?

I'm going to go up to the dryad and check her condition.

I'm not a doctor or a arborist or a doctor of magic, though.

But the moment I touched the child, I could see that he was debilitated.

Are you the master of ...... mandragora?　I'm sorry for the inconvenience,

At that moment, the driade in front of me opens its mouth.

'Oh, no, not really, since you returned it properly.

”Ys asked you to look at my symptoms, right?　But you get the idea. My this will never be cured.

I could only nod quietly at the doliad in front of me.

As soon as I touched it, I somehow understood why the doliad was weakening.

This weakening was probably caused by being in the cold weather too long.
