105 – The Secret of Birth
How the world tree is corrupted in the game is not revealed.
The trigger for that event starts when the user leaves town.
The party of warriors, who were heading to the empire after leaving the village of the elves who stopped by to greet them, followed the opinion of the saintess who suddenly felt a surge of magic, and went back the way they came. He encounters plant-type monsters that appear out of nowhere and block his way.
The village that came back after defeating the monsters was destroyed to the point where it could no longer be called a village, and in fact, when you open the map, you can see that the name of the village of elves – Eurellium has been changed to the land where the disaster sprouted – Eurellium. Was able to confirm that
In the place that has turned into a dungeon, defeat the monsters surrounding it and go to the place where the World Tree used to be. The world tree is a corrupted being. He faces the Demon King and immediately rushes into a boss battle.
Most of Makaisu’s attacks are binding and sweeping using vines, so the power is not great compared to its name. Due to the fact that the damage goes into range and the feature of canceling the attack with a shield, it breaks the shield before the cooldown turns. It was a boss with a so-called deal cut that would make it impossible to clear if you couldn’t.
That was the reason why my first attempt failed.
I couldn’t break the shield.
And if you let go like this, it’s also the future that will unfold in this town.
“No matter how much you are a shrine maiden, there are things to say and things not to say, Reina!”
“Are you insane to dare to slander the mother tree!”

As expected, the wise men rise up with strong arms.
Seeing that all of her, regardless of pros and cons, rebuked Reina, it seems that the World Tree has become another world above.
“Reina.”
However, when the Queen’s voice echoed through the meeting room, even those wise men stopped criticizing Reina all at once.
“Talk about the mother tree is not something to be overlooked.”
“I know.”
The Queen’s expression began to harden when she saw Reina answering without showing any sign of worry.
“…So you just said that it’s true?”
“Yes, it is absolutely true.”
To believe my words and be so confident in front of so many elves. Is that the dwarf who turned his eyes to kill me?
A corner of her heart became magnificent at the sight of her figure.
“Give reasons!”
Suddenly, one of the wise men raised his voice and shouted.
“Did you think Her Majesty the Queen would listen to you if you were crying out for the corruption of the mother tree without end or end?”
“That’s right!”
But this is also expected. Knowing this, she kissed her beforehand.
It was when the queen called Reina, who was taking care of her, for a moment after she collapsed.
-Anyway, Reina-san will have to step in this time.
-Are you talking about me?
-Yes. No matter what I say, you won’t believe it.
– Hmm. Come to think of it, that’s probably it too. Got it. If it’s your request, I’ll do it. But what am I supposed to do?
-First of all, let’s adjust our mouths in advance.
-What, what?! Did I just say we kissed each other?! But I’m still ready….
– He said he didn’t have time. Quickly.
-I never thought you would come out here…. Is it okay to do this… ?
-… What are you doing?
-Didn’t you say you kissed? It’s embarrassing, so I’ll finish it quickly. No, I think it will be fine even if I do it for a long time….
-….
She was in trouble for a while, but somehow managed to clear up her misunderstanding and put her lips together as if her saint had received a revelation. Although she did notice that in the end she was disappointed somewhere.
Anyway, all you have to do here is do what I told you to do.
“…”
But her condition seems strange.
Stare.
Reina is looking at me with eyes that seem to be asking for her help.
It looks like he’s saying something with his mouth.
– I’ve eaten. Yes.
When she saw that, she put her hand on her head.
‘I forgot for a while that the dwarf was a madman. This is my negligence.’
If you leave it as it is, you won’t be able to eat porridge or rice. Eventually, she decided to go on her own.
Swoop.
“Brother?”
After moving Chloe’s head from her lap to the saintess’s lap, she got up and walked to where Reina was.
Her complexion brightens as I get closer.
“Put your ear on me.”
“Ears, ears? From here?!”
I wondered how Reina didn’t allow her ears so easily.
“What are you doing? Need an ear?”
“That’s…”
After a moment of thought, she closed her eyes tightly and timidly turned her reddened ears towards me.
“Please be gentle…”
She was puzzled by her reaction, but when she told her what she had forgotten, she was disappointed.
What were you thinking?
Anyway, after checking the answer, she continued the argument that had stopped.
“I received a revelation from the goddess from the saintess.”
But did my involvement in the process become the justification?
“Judging from the action just now, it could be that those words came from a human mouth!”
“You bastard, Raina! Falling for a human trick and insulting the mother tree!”
If this is the case, should I step in?
However, judging from the numbers of the elves, it was clear that they would be beaten one-sidedly.
It won’t be an easy fight, but what can I do? I should
The time when I was trying to make fun of my tongue that I had polished and polished with a promise that I would never be pushed back by a verbal fight.
– Chuck.
Someone stood in my way.
“Hero?”
When the hero appeared, the queen asked with a puzzled expression.
“Human warrior. Why did you stand there?”
The warrior answered in a calm voice.
“I, a warrior, vouch for his words.”
Then, again, the wise men intervened without fail.
“Even if you’re a hero, you’re not a human after all! How can you believe that when you’re sure to take the side of the same human!”
-Sereung.
But instead of answering, she drew her holy sword from her scabbard.
What is it? After all, are you going to break your habit and threaten the elves?
“What did that thing do now!”
“How dare you draw your sword in front of us! Such arrogance!”
As the meeting hall became noisy at the sight of the warrior pulling out the holy sword out of nowhere, the warrior opened his mouth.
“Everyone, calm down.”
A warrior who drives a holy sword into the ground as if to announce that he has no intention of causing harm.
“The holy sword has the ability to separate truth from lies. So, with this sword, we will prove that our words are true.”
Then the opposition of the sages subsided further.
“Certainly, according to the records of an elf who was a member of the warrior party in the past, such a story was written…”
“Are you digging a grave with your own feet? Let’s try it.”
“But if that’s true…”
The hero who settled the situation at once looked back at me and smiled.
“Don’t worry, I’m here.”
The sight of her made me dizzy.
‘It’s all made up, why prove it!’
The contents of the conversation with Reina were only known to her saintess who lent her name. Seeing that even that was a lie, he had to repent today, he didn’t bother to tell the rest.
‘Who would have imagined that it would happen with a holy sword?’
A situation where he was publicly executed in front of everyone for doing something he didn’t have to do.
‘What should I do? Do I just have to suck my fingers and watch the world tree degenerate?’
Contrary to my thoughts, the holy sword in the hero’s hand gradually turned towards me.
The moment when everything is about to be revealed as a lie.
… Huh?
Contrary to expectations, nothing happened.
This time, the holy sword did not move at all, even though it was clearly struck so that it could not be stolen.
While staring at the Holy Sword with a dumbfounded face. I heard the sages chattering in confusion.
“Is Reina’s words true…?”
“So you mean the World Tree is really corrupting?”
I don’t know what it is, but it’s good. Thank you, Judge, for your immeasurable generosity.
I didn’t miss the opportunity and went and knelt in front of the queen.
Then the queen startled and covered her own skirt with both hands.
I don’t know why, but it’s kind of like that.
“You are the Queen of the Elves.”
Her queen’s gaze turned to me at the sound of her calling.
“I ask for a private meeting with you.”
As soon as the words were finished, shouts of wise men flew in from here and there.
“A human subject wants a private meeting with Her Majesty the Queen!”
“You think that makes sense! You know what you’re going to do to Her Majesty the Queen!”
Loyalty is no joke.
But for now, this is the only way. If you say one word in front of them, ten words will fly away.
-Kyum.
Gyadol also said as if he agreed with what I said.
You think so too? It’s because they’re really tight-fisted.
I was in the middle of forming a bond of sympathy for a while.
“What are they doing! We have to get him out right now… Huh? Why are you doing that?”
The sage, who stopped herself, pointed to the human on her knees.
“What does the author say?”
“That’s not it, look closely at the human shoulder…”
“A shoulder. What a shoulder… That’s…!”
Then, the conference hall becomes noisy again.
“A spirit. Why is a spirit sitting on a human’s shoulder?!”
“It could be the spirit Reina called.”
The wise men are having a heated discussion over Kyadol, which has become a hot potato.
“Kyumdol. You must be popular here.”
-Kyum.
“You think I’m the only one interested in you? Anyway, you’re good at talking.”
Even such a trivial conversation was a series of shocks to them.
“Humans talk to spirits…”
“As expected, does the author see spirits? I can’t believe it…”
Anyway, now that they are agitated, this is their chance to dig in.
After telling the warrior to put the holy sword in order to drive the wedge, he opened his mouth.
“Not only that, but this is what I heard from this child sent by the World Tree.”
Then Kyudol looked at me with a face as if he was asking what the hell did he mean by that?
You can do it. The first time is difficult, and then it comes out smoothly after that?
-Kyuwoo….
Pushed down by my cheering, Kyadol sighed as he came down from the top of my shoulder to the palm of my hand.
Let’s proudly push forward such a kkwidori. I started to say that what I said was true even though I hated it.
– Kyuwoo. Kwy. Kywy.
It sucks. Bounce while doing well.
The wise men are confused after completing the certification of the spirit.
“I can’t believe it. The mother tree is corrupt…”
“But didn’t you see with your own eyes that you were talking to the spirit?”
“Everyone is pathetic! Even that might be a trap prepared by Reina!”
There was a time when the difference of opinion could not be easily narrowed even after Kyudol-i’s speech.
“Be quiet.”
A word from the queen that silenced the wise men.
– Again and again.
She got up from her throne and started coming towards me.
Before I knew it, she was right in front of me. The other queen, she started to take a closer look at the stone in my hand.
“This is…”
Soon, her expression began to get serious.
“Human.”
What is it? Why are you holding the mood like that? Awfully.
“How did you meet this spirit?”
It was in my luggage.
… I couldn’t say it literally, so I wrapped our first meeting as plausible as possible.
“The leaves of the World Tree that Reina had turned into spirits, and I found them first…”
– Kwy!
It seems that he is very angry at the way he evades the meeting with himself.
I’ll stroke you a lot later. Pass it just once
– Kyuwoo.
In exchange for merciless petting, Kwydol promises to turn a blind eye to him just this once.
“As expected of the leaves of the World Tree…”
The queen, who was muttering incomprehensible words to herself, asked again.
“What kind of relationship do you have with this spirit?”
I’m the owner of it. Looking at it these days, it may not seem like it again.
In a situation where I couldn’t call myself the owner, Kyadol gave the answer on my behalf.
– Kwy!
“The owner? A human?”
The queen made a shocked expression at the words of Kyadol. After a moment of thought, the queen opened her mouth.
“I allow you to meet alone.”
Then this time the wise men turned over.
“What do you mean Her Majesty the Queen! Absolutely not!”
“That’s right! I know what he’s going to do!”
What am I doing? Where are you going to do that to me?
“It’s noisy.”
Unlike before, the queen, who had resolutely ignored her opinion, spoke to the wise men.
“The meeting will end here. And you follow me.”
– Again and again.
She is the queen who leaves the words and immediately turns around and leaves.
“…”
After looking around for a moment, I was surprised by her faster-than-expected steps and hurriedly followed her.

“… Not too close! Fall!”
I was puzzled by how sensitively he reacted even though he was five steps away, but he obediently did as he was told.
I’m not convinced yet. You have to adjust it the way you want.
The sound of the Queen’s footsteps echoed in her hallway for a while.
After passing through a shadowy corner and reaching a dead end, the queen opened her mouth.
“How much do you know about that spirit?”
She is still the queen who asks me with a sharp tone.
What do you know about Gyupdo? That’s my field
“I know she’s infinitely cute.”
“Haa… You don’t know anything.”
The queen let out a sigh, with a look of pain in her heart.
“That child is not an ordinary spirit.”
“I am well aware of that. It is many times cuter than other spirits.”
– Kwy!
She is a cute doll who seems very happy with those words.
It still responds to compliments. Since I was a teenager, I was worried about what would happen if this didn’t work.
The queen is bewildered at the sight.
“…Enough. Just listen.”
She took care of her broken expression and continued her conversation.
“First of all, we should talk about the mother tree.”
“You mean the world tree?”
“The mother tree, which you humans call the World Tree, sprouted from a seed planted by a great being a long time ago.”
A great being means a goddess.
“When she becomes queen, there are things she learns along the way. For example… She is the tip of the mother tree.”
The end of the world tree?
“The mother tree has lived for a long time, and I believed she would continue to do so. Only when I became queen. She learned something from the mother tree.”
“What is that?”
She is a queen who opens her mouth with a dark expression that she has never shown before.
She said, “The day she leaves this land. She said that a new sprout will grow in its place.”
What?
The story the queen told me made the back of my head tingle.
That’s nothing short of a prophecy. Did you already know about the world tree? The fact that she will become a demon beast?
At those words, when I looked at Kyudol, he avoided my gaze.
“What do you mean now? A sprout…”
Sergina’s mouth opened as she stared blankly at me and Kyadol.
“The child who serves you as his master is the sprout arranged by the mother tree.”
