201 # 190 Trials of the Great Spirit of the Earth.txt (1/2)

When I opened my eyes, I saw a world where nothing but wasteland stretched out.

It was like the end of the world...

”Yes.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in my brain.

'This world is one of many futures. A world where nature has been destroyed by living beings and living beings have become extinct.

”I am the Earth Spirit, the Earth Spirit. I am the great spirit of the earth, who has made a covenant with the elves. I ask thee, what do you see in this world? What do you see when you look at this world?

When you look at this world and think about it... it must be a world...

I think it's the end of the world, where people don't want to right their wrongs, but instead are driven by self-interest.

In reality, humans continue to destroy nature. There are people who are trying their best to appeal to the world, and there are people who are working hard to develop technologies that are good for the environment, but the world is still not united.

Then, what will happen to the real world if it continues as it is? I'm sure it's going to be just like this world.

'Right. People destroy nature. It's not just people. Other subspecies destroy nature, and of course the elves destroy it too. Therefore, I cannot forgive you.

Of course. If this world is here after destroying nature so badly, humanity will have to accept this outcome. Because this is a world that we knew was going to be like this, but we didn't do anything about it.

”What dost thou show me?

'Neither I nor Setia can say that I care for nature. We've cut down trees and made weapons out of them.

...

It may not have been the right thing for you to do, but it did help us fight Astaroth. But it's the reason we were able to fight Astaroth. If I hadn't made weapons out of wood, I wouldn't have been able to fight Astaroth, nor would I have ever been able to fight him.

My cane is made of wood, too.

'So I would like to show my gratitude and apology to nature. I'd like to thank her for supporting us on our journey so far and apologize for any harm we've done.

You know that words are not enough, don't you?

'Yes. Both man and sub-race can learn from the mistakes of the past. If Setia requires my help in a natural crisis, I will respond with all my people. If it is necessary for me to plant and nurture a tree with my own hands, I promise to do it.

'Thou hast shown me an oath. With that vow, I will bless the evolution of Setia.

Green light floods the earth, and grasses grow and flowers bloom on the desolate land. Then a tree grows out of my sight and grows. Tree after tree grew up in the center of the tree, and it became a forest.

The scene was like the birth of nature in fast forward.

The earth, plants and trees, and all living things are nature. It's easy to destroy, but difficult to fix. It is easy to destroy, but difficult to fix.

Then the first tree shines and gets smaller and smaller. Eventually, as it shrinks to the same height as me, it becomes the figure I know so well.

The light subsides and the evolved Setia appears. That's when the info plays.

'Setia has evolved into a High Elf. Spirit Summoning [Medium Spirit Summoning] has been acquired.''

Ah... this is a dragonization class move.

I've evolved from Setia, but her breasts have grown quite rapidly. It's Japanese fox class. The problem is that the Japanese foxes don't assert themselves because they're in miko uniforms, but Setia asserts herself all the time. Until now, the top was a normal, stylish outfit, but this time it could be called a bra at the earliest.

If I were to describe it in terms of clothing, I'd say it's a navel-baring shoulder and a top? I'm going to have to get used to this...no, it's better than Livina and the first Ix. It will be fine!

The skirt used to be a regular mini-skirt, but now it's made of tulle, shall we say? It's thinner, to say the least. And the veil was added.

'Oh, what?　Mr. Takut?　What is this place...

The Great Spirit of the Earth showed me the world.

It's true that the Great Spirit doesn't like people. But I think he wanted to tell me that if people made an effort, they could restore a broken nature.

'What?　You've met the Great Spirit of the Earth!

I didn't see him. Just a voice, but it still taught me to appreciate nature.

I didn't do anything, but...

I guess you didn't have to...

If you want to tell people to be thankful for nature, you only need a summoner. I can tell Setia what I've been taught and what I've sworn to do.

'I would have liked to hear your voice at least...'
