Growth, Life and Friends
‘Did you go? did you go did you really go Where, Nok-an!’
The regressor looked around with the green and penetrating green eyes of the seven colors. He looked quite frightened when he looked at everything from the ground to the sky.
The returnee, who checked it over and over again, sighed in relief.
“Whoa… ! I’m happy for now… !”
That was then.
Pop, there was an explosion. It wasn’t as sharp as gunpowder, but it was too intense a noise to come from a plant.
Isn’t it strange that it sounds like a good thing, regressor?
“What are you happy about? There is a riot now!”
“Oh, it’s okay. That’s a bean pod bomb. It’s annoying, but if you don’t have Navida, you can handle it quickly. It is because the root tree does not need to produce root water.”
“Source number?”
“It’s a beast made of wood. Animals are sometimes born from the fruit of the tree of immorality. But I guess I couldn’t make it there this time. Fortunately… .”
The returner was muttering like that.
[Kyaah!]
In the distance, a giant snake with a trunk of a tree twisted its body.
Explosions occurred one after another. Beans sprouting with sparks illuminate the brightening sky. The Chimera Bean, flying in a parabolic shape, bangs next to me.

For a moment, the returnee and I forgot to speak. The silence broke and screams began to be heard from all directions.
“Wooden… snake?”
“What are you looking at? Attack!”
“food! Military rations exploded all at once!”
“Executive Officer. Is it a fantasy to get hurt by beans?”
“Put away the bullshit and catch that snake first!”
A gunshot was heard, and military officers and generals jumped up with their weapons and slashed the tree snake. However, the tree snake, which had a trunk the size of a giant tree, writhes violently even when cut or cut, accumulating damage.
The power of the demon can change the environment. Even if there is no will to attack, when mountains and forests move, the small bugs living in them are fatally damaged. The returner clicked his tongue as he heard the resounding scream.
“Chiit. Are you asking me to clean up? After all, the military is not on my side!”
“no. From now on, I can be on Shay’s side.”
“What?”
“Come and clean up. I’ll take Leah and get some out of it.”
At that moment, the regressor, who had his gaze on the other person, looked around.
“Oh right. other people?”
“I’m fine.”
“okay!”
The regressor hurriedly ran, holding Cheon Aeng and Jizan in his hands. The returner, who jumped into the air in the wind, quickly swept down the slanted Jizan with a chinen.
“Heaven and Earth Geomgon, Flint!”

Friction sets the air on fire. Cheoneng was engulfed in flames and glowed red. The regressor cut a tree snake with a flame-covered cherry tree. The fiery tree snake twisted its body in pain. Burnt branches fell all over the headquarters, and the screams of ordinary soldiers could be heard.
“Captain! How do you do that?”
“… The command not to attack… ! First, burn the wood!”
Confusion was added to the fire that spread here and there, but the returner did not care.
“Fire is better than exploding bean pods or tree snakes. You, too, feel a sense of crisis! I’ll light the fire, so you just put it out!”

For a while, there was a skirmish with the military. The tree snake was wriggling, breaking its strands, but it looked like it was going to be cleared up soon.
‘The scale is large, but the effect is weak. Why the hell did Navida even use the tree of origin when he said he wasn’t even going to fight? You must have wanted to show off your demon, don’t you?’
Literally, returnee. Nevida was written to brag about the demon.
to me.
turned his head The chimera bean that flew to me soon took root and started to sprout again. A large sprout reached my feet.
The stem, which looked too weak for the fruit it would bear, grew like a creeper on the ground. I walked slowly with the chimera beans gradually getting longer.
It is a stem derived from the chimeric bean. It is the providence that Chimera Beans grow there.
However, the providence of the demon god is a little different from that.
Kidney beans, peas, chickpeas, red beans. Crops that span a species called soybeans are opened one after another. It seems that the cheerful person hung all the beans from one tree.
But looking at the inside story, I can’t help but laugh.
The sprouted arrowroot vine bends and winds the concrete. Shamrock straightens small leaves. Although he did not hang beans, he proudly occupies a place on the stem. I walked past it.
If you keep walking with this… what will come out
This is the essence of the tree of origin. This is why Nevida despises Seonghwangcheong, who gave names to everything in the world.
Of course, it has nothing to do with me.
“Hmm. I can’t use this.”
This demon is a very difficult type for me to use. Nevida herself uses it a hundred times more powerful as a druid, and at best, it’s all I can do to grow peanuts.
But maybe that’s enough.
I took out a deck of spades. While choosing this and that, I took out the number 9 and fiddled with it a few times with my fingers.
Spades are special. A diamond consumes alchemy, a clover must contain magic power, and a heart must store the corresponding drug, but a spade does not need anything. If there is one thing you need, is it my faith?
Because spades are idols that honor demons.
Without Maximilien, the cogs cannot move. Reluctantly, he grabbed the side of the steel beetle and struggled to climb up. It’s only about 4 meters tall, but seeing that I’m out of breath, I must have been a little tired too. Oh, I’m craving magic herbs.
When I barely climbed up, I saw that Historia was sitting with her back on one of the cog wheels. The glaring eyes are directed at me. I smiled warmly and said.
“Leah. Would you like some peanuts?”
“Where are the peanuts… .”
I snapped my finger. Peanuts formed on the tip of the bean stalk that came up with me. Perhaps it was exhausting trying to follow me up, so I only had one peanut.
However, if you open one peanut, you will get two grains. I handed one to Historia, who broke the middle and laughed.
“Because we share a side of the bean, we give it a special treat.”
“huh.”
Historia put the peanut in her mouth and chewed it lightly. I hear a squeaky noise. I also forgot peanuts and sat down next to Historia.
It’s also peanuts. It shows its presence even when served as a side dish, but it is the best on its own.
After a short meal, Historia murmured.
“day off… Are you the king of men?”
“yes.”
“I see.”
and silence. I asked again.
“Is that all you have to ask?”
There must be more. When I asked, Historia frowned and said.
“… Do you have magic herbs?”
“You gave it all.”
“It’s a conspiracy.”
“Sheesh. How did you know?”
Kicking his tongue, he pulled out the magic candle that was placed in the biometric terminal. It was nice to be able to feel the medicinal energy to some extent even if I didn’t light a magic plant.
“That’s what you do.”
He stretches out his hand while groaning. It’s a must-have. However, since I was short of magic herbs, instead of giving them all, I took out a card and tried to cut them.
Historia frowned.
“Take just one cigarette and spit it out.”
“Noisy. A mat is not just a cigarette. This one cigarette is all I have, so it’s a waste.”
Historia raised her eyes slightly.
“… Can’t you give me everything?”
“You give me half.”
Oh, it doesn’t cut well. Is it because I’m out of energy?
While I was engraving marks on the magic candle, Historia looked at me pathetic and raised her hand.
swish. Historia’s hand passed through the magic weed. Before the cut magic weeds could fall apart, Historia arbitrarily picked the larger one and took it. He quickly put it in his mouth so as not to be able to take it away, and without saying a word he naturally held out the tip of it in front of me.
‘fire.’
At least say it in words. I lifted my finger and brought it close to Historia’s lips. The shortened magic seconds reach closer.
“Set, Lee. Florence.”
Historia breathes in, and the magic candle soaks up the fire. I also lit my magic candle before the fire went out.
The words he couldn’t bear to say became smoke and scattered into the air. The short magic candle was extinguished as quickly as its length. I muttered as I looked up at the sky, except for the magic weed, which had only a few words left.
“Leah. I will die in the not too distant future.”
“… okay?”
“And the king of men was born again. That is the king of sin.”
“who? how?”
“I don’t know who will do it. I really don’t know what to do. But I know roughly why. maybe… Do you want to defeat sin?”
Surprisingly, Historia took a quick breath and burned all the magic candles.
“crime… can you defeat them?”
“I do not know. But maybe that’s what you want to believe? As if you had become a general with your teeth clenched because you wanted Hamelin to disappear.”
Historia shut her mouth. He tried to put it in his mouth with trembling hands, forgetting that the magic candle had burned out.
I couldn’t make them eat the ashes, so I grabbed Historia’s hand. Black eyes and eyes met.
“Hey, you… Could you have stopped what happened in Hameln?”
“maybe.”
“Why didn’t you stop it?”
“Because it hasn’t happened yet.”
“You can’t stop it after you wake up.”
“So I couldn’t stop it.”
Is it because I answered too lightly? Historia let go of my hand. Historia put her forehead on her forehead and spoke as if pleading.
“I… I do not know. Why do you have to? day off. Can’t we be a little more normal? Even if he’s not the king of humans… You don’t have to go anywhere.”
become normal, la.
I’m already normal. Because he is the king of men. If it’s a human skill, it can be rough, but it’s kind enough to live in harmony with. That’s it.
But history… That’s probably not what ‘she’ wants. They are hoping for something very different from the present humans. Something much nicer, much sweeter.
Humans don’t, and I can’t.
“Leah. thanks For helping me without questioning the reason.”
“lie.”
“Even the country has a sense of gratitude. Humans are not such ungrateful creatures.”
“… Barefoot?”
“What do you want?”
Suddenly, something flashed in Historia’s mind. It was a little one-dimensional and instinctive wind. Normally, I would never have said it, but it was the time when I was about to come out of my mouth without stopping to see if I had any energy left.
“Nah. stupid bastard. Can’t you solve this?”
Suddenly, a butterfly was hovering over the steel beetle. Historia regained her sanity and swallowed the horse. Maybe it didn’t matter what I said. Even the cat’s eyes seem to be concerned.
The butterfly, which looked around roughly, raised its claws. Put the claws in the gaps of the misaligned gears, pull them out as if they were pulled out, and set them aside. A large cog wheel flew sideways and fell down there. The butterfly lay down in front of it and waited for something.
“bruise! I am free!”
Aji jumped out of the gap in the missing cogs. Aji, who had been biting gears in vain inside the steel beetle, trembled as she regained her freedom.
“We hate it! Bondage, I hate it! Woof woof! Dark and lonely!”
Butterflies are more adept at using their forelimbs than their young. And beasts that use their forelimbs are relatively friendly with tools. That would be it. A butterfly looks smarter than Aji.
The butterfly looked down at Aji and laughed.
“what. are you stupid idiot You idiots are just fighting with each other, are you sticking your teeth in?”
“bruise! I’m bitten! I need help! Again, it smelled bad! It smelled like iron!”
“Is that stupid? Like it or not, there’s no reason to join in arguing with other beasts. Wouldn’t it be best to just watch and peek at food?”
The butterfly raised her hand slightly. Meanwhile, a magic candle is stuck in his fingernails. That cat guy, he really enjoyed everything he had in our absence.
Aji shook her head and pointed at me.
“I don’t! Keep your promise! Then, even humans keep their promises!”
“Nah-nah. stupid bastard. You must have forgotten all the promises you made.”
Butterflies scoffed as he wiggled his nails infused with magic candles. Aji snorted violently.
“bruise! Nope! I remember!”
“Nya-nah. yes, maybe Are you only keeping promises when it’s in Nya’s benefit? There will be no king to keep his promises. Humans must have forgotten all their promises.”
“Nope! Nope! Human, remember! look!”
Aji denied the butterfly’s words by barking loudly. The butterfly snorted, but Aji came to me waving her tail.
Aji, the king of dogs, who has followed him without a single doubt. That good, benevolent beast, with a look of no doubt that I will remember the promise. With a smile on his face, he pulled out the promise he made a long time ago.
“I will protect you. you protect me too I believe in you, you help me too.”
Humans unconditionally wag their tails and see, and never attack or kill whether they are evil or good. It may be seen as a disadvantage, but the advantages are far greater. Because an object that can be trusted unconditionally is so good to use.
Aji is undoubtedly the dumbest and most powerful Hogu in the world. No matter how deceived I may be, I will not abandon my faith toward people including myself.
“I will love you. You love me too.”
By comparison, I am the king of men, but now that I have lost most of my power, I am not obligated to answer. Life always takes precedence over promises.
But I can’t just laugh at that pure and ‘artificial’ belief in front of me.
perhaps.
“-Then, the bad wolf won’t hurt you.”
Because Aji might be my future shape.
