Chapter 49 – Treasure after Treasure (1/2)

What I see in front oftree-like shadows, on the far-ahite background of s with countless, thin flows of

Today, I ca care of

The nine-year-old is taking care of it during thetree

The possibility of it being a sapling is very high

While pondering, the gardener-like people ere lowering their heads in the distance have gathered

「Theo Boccha」

「Un As announced thisof my treasure!」

The oldest man――an elderly that looks older than the old roup of twenty that has gathered, takes off his hat and very deeply bows

It appears that the hair covered by the hat has already retreated considerably

「The preparations are already done, you can begin anytime, Bocchama」

「Un Then, everyone, coentle expression deepens because of wrinkles states that the preparations are done

While Theo advances to the place with the sapling, his expression is full of confidence and satisfaction can be seen on his face

「Ta~dah This is the “Asherah sapling” I’rabbing so and the flow ofbecame completely different from the relaxed flow that was visible before

「Ara, ara, maa, maa…… hoonderful……」

「Really…… I’ to this size……」

「Oniisama worked hard every day, after all」

「Ehehe~ I had a hard time~ how is it, Lily~?」

Annela Obaasama and Ena raise voices of surprise

Is Asherah tree such difficult tree to raise, I wonder?

Considering Ellie’s re very hard

Theo who seemed to be satisfied with everybody’s reaction looks at ical power flowing through it

To be precise, the ical power flow of this Asherah sapling is nearly as fast as the ical power flow in hu is-」

「Ah! Obaasama stop! I will explain, okay!」

「Ara, ara, I’m sorry Then, can I leave it to you, Theo-chan?」

「Un! Leave it to me! So, Lily This Asherah tree is a very rare tree, you see? Although it doesn’t grow big, it’s a valuable tree with great derown in natural conditions, the quality of the on’t be high But, this child is fine! Lily’s “cane2” can be made with confidence!」

It was a rare type of tree as expected

Is it a useful ical power, I wonder?

Nevertheless…… a cane?

No need to guess, it most likely is that cane the visually impaired people use――the white cane

In other words, Theo brought up a tree that will become a material for my white cane on his own

He must have found out that cane is indispensable for visually i the Cloudy Eyes in the library

「Besides…… this child has sprouted on the day Lily was born, you know? Although more than 100 other Asherah trees have been planted, only this child has properly grown up It surely sprouted on the sarow up for Lily’s sake!」

Theo’s talk gradually heats up, and he rapidly raises the tone of his voice with sparkling eyes

「Because this child will finish growing very soon, I willforward to it, okay!」

Theo’s confident, and eager fervent speech and expression seem very reliable

I’m thankful because a white cane will be eventually necessary

I think thata cane won’t be that easy, but he’s that ht s tisthe physical ability of the user It’s popular because of itsit is difficult and the Asherah trees in nature have been recklessly deforested because of the demand They are so precious that they are strictly controlled by the country, you know? This tree is the result of Theo-chan’s extrelad, Lily-chan? The canewonderful」

「Ehehehe~」

With Annela Obaasama’s supplementary explanation and words of praise, Theo ashis body in embarrassment……

I wanted you to er Maa, the present expression ht be an expression that tickles the maternal instincts, but I’m unfortunately not ticklish

「But well, it’s not done by Oniisama’s power only, you have to properly coht, but…… I worked hard as well!」

「I ad the achievement all for yourself」

「Uu…… b,but……」

Just when I find the twisting and turning reliable Oniisama turn unpleasant, Ellie’s cold words pierce hiardeners, all of them have wry smiles

Exactly as Ellie said, it’s probably not like Theo did it all by himself

It would be quite impossible for a nine-year-old to raise a rare, difficult to raise tree alone

Ellie probably couldn’t accept Theo talking as if he has done all the work by hi that the effort of the gardeners should be properly acknowledged as well
