“Whoa? So, through the roots of the tree, please absorb all of Arisha’s magical powers?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
“Well, that’s good. Since he is also the heir of an old friend, Jim will give extra strength.”
Vampire Queen. Lucy Purple said as she put her hand on her waist and lifted her head. It would be to take such a posture as a way to praise oneself.
“Sure. Shaiza’s successor. It seems that all talk about work is over. Am I wrong?”
“Yes. Now all that remains is to see the scene.”
“I talked about work and I am tired. Jim wants some rest. It will be fine.”
“Sure.”
After I said that, let her nod. Lucy dives and jumps into Lerisha’s arms. Lerisha is embarrassed, but she is at a loss as she can’t treat her ancestor’s colleague carelessly.
“Pu-eup, pu-ha. It smells good. Ah. I liked him because of this body odor. It’s a really nostalgic scent.”
“Stop Lucy… “
“Don’t do that too much. Jim, I miss this scent so much. If things went well, Larisha. You could have been my descendant.”
Lerisha was taken aback by the fact that he was her descendant. Lucy, who sees this, smiles wickedly.
“However, that didn’t happen because Grancha’s flair was activated. Jim commands. Larisha von Meloyer. Be reborn as a man right now. Jim will bear your child.”
“No, no kidding!”
“hahahaha. That sharp reaction. It reminds me of memories with Grancha.”
After Lucy said that, she hugged Lerisha’s waist with both legs. I, who was watching that, spoke to Lucy.
“Lucy Purple. Future technologies that you have accumulated using your now-disappeared abilities. I’d like to use that skill. Is it possible?”
“What are you asking? I was defeated by Shaiza. To be precise, he was defeated by Melguard, but thanks to Shaiza, he was able to survive and meet the descendants of Grancha. Do as you please.”
“I’m not saying take it now. I will come back to you when I am ready to use the technology.”
Lerisha, intrigued by the word technology, hugged Lucy and put her on the floor. Then it comes towards me.
“Woros, what is that technology?”
“Building technology. It is the building technology of the future. When I graduate from the academy, I will use that technology to build a house for me to live in and a research institute.”
“At home… that after graduating. With whom… “
“Nothing is planned, but I will take the people from my store and build the necessary buildings.”
Lerisha mumbled her mouth as if she wanted to say something, then lowered her head. Then, Lucy Purple stands on Lerry Shah’s back and opens her mouth.
“Anyway, it’s amazing. To think that the princess of Meloyer and the heir of Shaiza were so close. It was something I could never have dreamed of before.”
“You didn’t even have a dream?”
“Yes. Generation after generation, the members of the Imperial Family of Meloyer had made one or two big and small mistakes to Shayza’s party. It was like a tradition.”
Lucy, who was sitting on Lerry Shah’s back, couldn’t see Lerry Shah’s face turning pale, so she continued her words.
“Even the emperor before Grancha. He tried to oppress Arisha and suffered a great upset. Also, the previous emperor declared war on the Holy Kingdom because of Shaiza. And Grancha touched Melgard’s wrath. Ah. It was a good memory.”
“…… “
“If it’s a bad thing, you mean that incident.”
“Yes. Shaiza’s successor. Really, you have a similar atmosphere to Shaiza. Even though he seems to know everything, he has that shady look typical of someone who doesn’t reveal himself. Seriously, where did this guy come from?”
Lucy clicks her tongue while looking at me. She also knew that Shaiza had accumulated something, so she decided to just listen.
“Jim could not live without drinking human blood. However, the blood that Jim sucked was the blood of Melgard’s disciple. He couldn’t help it against Mel Guard, no matter how burdensome it was.”
“Is that why you are sealed here?”
That was Larisha’s question. Since it is Lucy Purple, a living, breathing history textbook, it seems that respect and interest coexist along with feelings of burden.
“Yes. He was about to die Even if it’s buried deep underground. Even if you feed deadly poison. Even if you throw it into magma. The guy didn’t die. It was a real nightmare. This is also the reason why the ground here is called the Melgard Battlefield. A battle took place there. All of my men were slain by that one, except for one maid.”
After saying that, Lucy let out a deep sigh.
“Is Melgard really that strong? I-I actually respect Melgard-sama.”
“Everything is strong. When that guy’s eyes turned upside down, even Shaiza couldn’t stop it. He was like a dope general. Melgard made a fuss about beheading me, but Shayza saved my life.”
Lucy Purple came down from Lerry Shah’s back and lifted her top. Then she sees a small tattoo drawn on the side of her belly button.
“This is the spell Shaiza left for me. When I drink human blood, it naturally destroys my organs.”
“They say you can’t live without drinking human blood.”
“Her constitution has changed. He could survive if he ate human magic instead of blood. Crystals of magical power exuded by the students of the military academy were supposed to gather here, so they ate it and lived on. Melgard forgave me when I said that I couldn’t suck human blood.”
She smiles helplessly as she says that.
“A lot of the power was also sealed. It doesn’t seem to be of much help other than sucking mana into trees. Keep that part in your heart. Have you heard of Shaiza’s successor?”
“I know. Then, shall we go to the site soon?”
“Hmm. What good Let’s continue to talk with Grancha’s descendants on the spot.”
After Lucy Purple nodded her head, she climbed onto Lerisha’s back again.
“Then guide me to the site as it is.”
“Lucy. I heard she has a seal, but can you get out of here?”
“If Shay Ja’s name is there, she can go out. Shaiza’s successor came directly, so it should be fine. Isn’t it?”
“You know me well. Then Let’s go. Then, please carry the princess.”
Let me say so. Lucy, who was carried on Lerisha’s back, protested that he was not an object. Even so, Lerisha corrected her posture and carried her on her back. It was calming down.
Maybe she did well to bring Lerry Sha.

“This, this… This is highly regarded by Jim!”
“I’m glad you got hit in the mouth by her. It’s a strawberry tea I developed, and if you like it, I’ll bring you some.”
“I like it every time! Sha, Shayza’s successor, after all, wasn’t just anyone! Admit it. Jim approves!”
Lucy’s eyes are sparkling as she drinks strawberry tea and stirs her legs. Lerisha and Sora, who were watching this, were making happy faces.
She had told her about Sora before, when Lerisha came to visit her. But she never introduced Sora to Lerisha. While she was doing it, she bundled up Lucy Purple and introduced it together. Sora didn’t ask deeply about my bringing Lelisha.
As if believing everything I was doing, she just nodded her head.
“After having a delicious tea, I want to eat some bread. Jim knows how to bake some bread. No. There is no shortage of experts in that field.”
“Sorry. There is no flour, let alone an oven to bake bread.”
“That… is it. Then let’s finish the work quickly and buy the materials. Ruler! Guide the luggage to the site.”
While saying that, Lucy took the kettle and drank all the remaining strawberry tea. She was carried on Lerisha’s back as if it were natural, and Lerisha also carried her on her back as if it were natural for her and headed towards her 2nd greenhouse aisle. That’s how we entered the 2nd greenhouse and faced the tree man.
“That’s the tree man you told me about.”
“Yes, see the tree behind you? It is connected to Arisha’s World Tree through its roots. Lucy. Can you absorb magic from that tree?”
“Hmm. It seems possible enough. However, I agree with absorbing Arisha’s magical power, but I don’t like it at all if you forcefully drive out that tree man.”
Feeling puzzled by Lucy’s words, I looked at her. Lucy gets down from Lerisha’s back and approaches me.
“I don’t think this is something that can be solved by force.”
“What do you mean?”
“Waros Blood. It’s up to you, Shaiza’s successor, to decide, but Jim wants to find the main body of the tree and conduct a thorough investigation to resolve the matter humanely. That tree man. It seems like there is a story.”
At her words, I narrowed my eyes and looked at the tree man. The tree man doesn’t take any action and just looks at me.
“If you are truly the heir of Shaiza, you can resolve this peacefully. Perhaps. Arisha, who created the tree. Shayza brought the alter ego of the tree into her greenhouse. I think you’d better do that for both of them.”
It was the story of Lucy Purple. Lucy is literally a living history book character who has been alive since the time of Shaiza. Since she said it, she thought it was worth listening to.
But I still don’t understand the meaning of resolving it peacefully without using force. I didn’t even know that the tree man had a story in the first place.
“… Is it really necessary?”
“You said that. It’s your choice Even if you push it by force, I hope you at least find out the story. I mean, that’s all. The choice is yours.”
“… All right.”
I’ll answer that. I watched the tree carefully.
