Chapter 18 (1/2)

Chapter: 18 Small life

We finally came to the base where the Spirit Tree is rooted。

Like the plaza of s old trees suddenly cuts off away from the Spirit Tree as i looked like a vacant land where the weeds started to grow。

I looked up at the trunk of the Spirit Tree that has grown so big vertically。It has grown isn’t a ter all over it’s surroundings so I can’t find any word the could describe its size。

If we tried to encircle its surrounding trunk、I wonder how much time would it take us? Since soround as it crawled everywhere then it would take us a considerable amount of time to do that。

「So、what are we going to do here？」

I asked Mistral who is also looking up at the Spirit Tree。

Maybe Mistral is also feeling the grandeur of the Spirit Tree。

「That’s right……For the ti at the surroundings」

「EEEHHHHH、around THIS TRUNK！？」

Froo、I got a bit pulled out of it。Since if you would think about it then wouldn’t it take us a large aht about but it would actually take physical strength and time to walk around it。

「Are you really really sure？」

「I’m really really sure」

Mistral radiantly asserted。

「Did we cos of the Spirit Tree & its trunk?」

「You’re wrong。It is for the purpose of finding so」

「What are we searching for then?」

「I don’t know、maybe it depends on Ernea」

Well noonder what she meant by it depends on me? Since I’ve only come here for the first ti here。

「For the tio」

She didn’t bother with an to walk。

I followed after her in a panic。

「While alking、tell e, okay? For instance、if you’re anxious about the skin of that trunk over there or that branch over there」

The thing that I’m really currently anxious about is this situation。While thinking of that、I started to ith Mistral while lettingthat will catch my interest。

……I’。

Would it be bad if I’?

「Does Mistral often come here？」

Since it would be a waste if ould just walk like this then I talked to Mistral。

Look for the thing that ht she would say while being angry but Mistral didn’t seem like she was 。

「Me too、this would behere。Each care taker from the past up to noould come here for only once」

「Ohh。So Mistral also hardly co place huh」

「That’s right。Since this is the main place where the Spirit Tree is rooted so this place is really a special sacred place。We would be able to go here if we didn’t have the permission of the old man」

We conversed while looking at our surroundings with curiosity as we kept on strolling。

So this is a really sacred place huh。The atmosphere in here is certainly very clear。I could also feel the overwhel aura of the Spirit Tree froure。

Though the Te at also has a sacred atmosphere around it but that feels like it was man made。The temple which isin it。

However in this place、I can really feel the pure sacredness here。I feel like I should never be clumsy in here。

「Mistral can also feel the sacredness of this place after all?」

「Yes、of course。Though the place where the old man is in feels sacred too but this place isand large aon pulse can really be felt in here」

「Ohhh。So this place is really an a place after all」

I soreed & breathed deeply。

The scene of the earlyhere is like time has stopped & the dust that flutters everywhere isn’t in sight which makes this place really feel clean。

When I deeply took a breath、I became totally refreshed。

「At the last time when Mistral came here、what did you do at this place?」

「It’s the sa」

「No。I didn’t lose anything at this place。Is this a place where things that are lost can be found？」

「Fufufu。You’re entirely wrong。For the ti、just believe in your instincts as you search for so that would tickle your curiosity」

Mistral s my head & she continued to move forward。

「Though I’ll also be cooperating but your intuition will be the most important above all」

「My intuition is more important than Mistral’s？」

「Correct」

For mine to beso I’ to be doubtful about this。

While I enjoyed having a conversation with Mistral afterwards、I looked up and down。I looked at the fat roots of the Spirit Tree while also staring at the bark of its trunk & I also concentrated my eyes on the far distant branches in the sky。I would occasionally glance at the direction of the forest of old trees as I strolled。

Though I’m sure that we’ve walked an excellent a with Mistral is fun & I couldn’t feel tired since I’th by the holy atmosphere of this place。

And did I not find anything that’s bothering me is what I muttered as I continued to walk but nearfor me。

Since this plaza has nothing but weeds growing here with the exception of the Spirit Tree but a clear ould sometio has a different feeling than a normal breeze so I halted。

Whatto call for me。

Mistral noticednear me。

Fuwari。

I felt the presence again。

I so that I’m anxious about。

The trunk of the Spirit Tree、that place where the roots of it has stretched out。Ahead of that place which is an open field filled eeds、there was a single s over there。

Compared to the Spirit Tree、it doesn’t feel like a nor。

There were several leaves on the tip of some of it’s branches。There were two cute ivies twisted upon its roots。

「Mistral、that」

I pointed at that small tree。

Mistral turned her gaze at where I’ at。And she showed a surprised expression。

「For such a place to have an infant tree like that……Though I was attentive of the surroundings while looking everywhere but I didn’t notice that at all」

Moreover、Mistral said so while walking to the infant tree。I also walked with her。

「This is exactly an infant tree of the Spirit Tree。This is the first time I’ve ever saw one」

When I & Mistral went near to the infant tree、we crouched down and looked at it。

The height of the small tree is the sa。Its trunk ht be thinner thanwind blew。The several leaves that is desperately clinging to the branches looked lovely。

「Is this small tree the one that you’ve become anxious with in your intuition？」

「Well」
