(132) Let’s make Silver Vine Wine

Translator: Tseirp

Nevertheless, it sure is a large tree. Even though there isn’t a sun, the entire sky of this world shines faintly.

Because of that, a faint shadow formed below the tree.

I thought of immediately harvesting the Silver Vine but I decided to refrain from doing so.

“Nya nya! Where did this tree come from nya!?”

“Amazing right. This is Ichino-san’s power.”

Stella was shocked as she looked like she was disregarding the cheeks rubbing against hers while Malina answered while rubbing her cheeks against hers. Malina was being talkative, incomparable to her usual self.

“It is possible to hasten the growth rate of plants here.”

“But the Legendary Silver Vine shouldn’t be able to grow in normal places nya …”

Really? Now that I think about it, the location where that Silver Vine tree was at was certainly special.

The ceiling was covered in crystals.

“Due to the ceiling at that place, not only does light cascade right down the middle the whole day while the sun is out, it also gathers moonlight so it can be said to be a place that nurtures plant growth nya.”

“So it was a place like that … it certainly was bright but … nevertheless, I remember that there weren’t many other plants.”

In response to my question, Pionia bent down and said while looking at the withered grass.

“It should be because this tree snatches even the nutrients that are meant for the other plants.”

Ah, I see. I looked below my feet.

The grass surrounding the tree had withered.

“A king grows by absorbing the energy of the commoners(grass) huh?”

“The King doesn’t do something like that nya!”

“Ah, sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. I meant that there are kings that are like that too.”

Stella was offended. Since to her, a king would refer to her father.”

“I unintentionally scolded you nya. Sorry nya.”

Stella bowed just as I was reflecting on my words.

“Well then, let’s quickly harvest the Silver Vine fruits.”

“No, it would probably be dangerous if Stella climbed to harvest. Since you might be affected while you are on the tree and fall down. Moreover, I wish to let Carol do the harvesting … but …”

I took out the spare mask I bought that resembled the mask Marina always wears and placed it on Malina.

“Ichino, it’s not like it will work just because it is a mask? The mask I received from Kannon has a unique power within it.”

“It’s alright, you came out anyway. Since this mask is also a special mask.”

Malina had turned into Marina. Incidentally, it wasn’t a special mask, it was really just an ordinary mask.

“Oops, sorry Stella.”

Marina released Stella.

Then, I took out a regular bow and quiver instead of her magic bow.

“Can you do feats like those by Robin Hood?”

“Umu, there are none that can’t be pierced by my heart’s eye. Easily done.”

Sounds really reliable. I have no idea what she sees with her heart’s eye but we all recognize Marina’s skill with the bow.

“So, Stella. How many should we get?”

“Hmm, three for now.”

“Umu, understood.”

Marina extracted a single arrow from the quiver.

Oya, I imagined that she would take three arrows out and shoot all three down with a grin but I guess she decided to do it steadily.

Well, it’s an important fruit so maybe she thought that she shouldn’t damage them.

Just as I thought that was the case ― I noticed a flash of light inside Marina’s eyes.

At that time, she released the arrow.
