Chapter 39 – Dryades Ariad (6)
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Please forgive me? Yes? “Lilith…”
Ariad, who was buried in the ground and only his head was exposed, was seen listening to Lilith’s words and turned his head away.
“Lilith…”
Looking at Lilith like that, Ariad stands with only his head out and has tears in his eyes.
Even I, who had nearly died of suffocation while buried in Ariad’s breasts a little while ago, looked so pitiful that I looked pitiful.
Even when Ariad tried to say various things to him, he completely ignored him, so Ariad, in tears, opened his mouth.
“Well, I made a mistake this time… So, I don’t have to pay any price this time, huh?”
Lilith sighed at Ariad’s words and turned her head again to look at Ariad.
Ariad’s expression, which brightened as she finally saw Lilith looking at her, darkened again at Lilith’s next words.
“And?”
“And oh…?”
“It’s something you should do if you have a conscience. What are you going to do to her? First of all, you bitch. Shouldn’t you apologize to him rather than to me? “I’m a dick, but he must have been an even bigger dick.”
“Well, it seemed like you liked it…?”
“What?”
“No, it’s nothing…”
When I saw Lilith like that, I couldn’t help but think something like this.
Damn…
Lilith would hate it if I said it out loud, so I held back.
Anyway, when I was touched by Lilith who put my thoughts before what happened to her, Lilith said.
“So, apart from that, I have to come up with something more. Is not it?”
No, it seems like he’s just trying to rip off Ariad more.
I don’t know whether I should continue to be impressed or look at Lilith with a cold expression.
“Okay,” Said Ariad, who had a pained expression on his face.
“I’ll give you fluids, fluids…”
“That’s what I originally planned to receive. “That and what else?”
I know this because I’ve experienced it myself, but the pressure of what Lilith was going to give me was no joke.
I don’t know if I can pinpoint what I want, but I guess I should say that it’s hard to predict what to do to be satisfied…
I thought it would be better to just say that it made people stop and watch it without realizing it.
Since she didn’t know what to give, Lilith used the art of speaking to get her to give the most valuable thing she had.
Like a queen receiving tribute from her subjects.
The arrogance typical of someone who had reigned for a long time was reflected in his facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice.
Where did I learn that, or did I live a life where I was used to that?
I had no idea what Lilith had done in the past, but I knew that she had not lived an ordinary life.
In the first place, there was no way a being as strong as Lilith could have been ordinary.
“So, what else will you give me with that? Ariad?”
And, after thinking for a while about Lilith’s words, Ariad opened her mouth.
“Well, how about this? “It was opened this time…”
With Ariad saying that, a tree trunk stretched out in front of Lilith.
With pink fruits.
It looked like a delicious fruit, but I was wondering what would happen to it, but when Lilith saw the fruit, she nodded and said.
“Yes, this is a real apology.”
Lilith snatched the fruit from the tree trunk with a swoosh and then suddenly held it out to me.
“Now, eat this.”
“Det?”
“Eat it because it’s good for your health.”
I feel a little uncomfortable because I’ve already suffered a lot because of Ariad’s sap…
However, since there is a release now, I received it.
I fully knew how strong a properly pissed off Lilith can be.
I wondered if there was anything to be afraid of when Lilith, who was strong enough to beat Ariad up and pin her to the ground, was next to her.
In the first place, the problem wasn’t really Ariad’s sap, but Ariad’s sudden runaway behavior.
Still, I still felt a little uncomfortable, so I looked at Lilith and asked.
“Can I really eat this?”
“If you want to eat, eat, why are you saying so much? “It’s nothing strange, so don’t worry and eat it.”
When I saw Lilith say that, I took a big bite of the fruit.
Crunch, crunch.
Juice as sweet as Ariad’s sap spread throughout my mouth.
However, there was nothing in particular that made my body feel energized or hot like Ariad’s sap.
I thought it was the type that would take some time,
“…?”
Nothing much happened until I finished eating one fruit.
“So what is this? “It tastes good.”
When I asked that question while holding the fruit with only the seeds left in my hand, Lilith said.
“What is it? It’s the fruit of that bitch’s body.”
“The body?”
Main body.
So, a real body?
My eyes turned to Ariad.
Damn her big tits caught my eye.
Yeah, that can’t be real.
I wondered how breasts that big could exist in the world, but they were all fake.
Yes, that’s probably true, I agreed, but a deep sense of betrayal came over me, and looking at me like that, Lilith continued.
“No, it would be a bit ambiguous to call it the main body. It’s just that it was born there, and it’s not really its original body. Well, if that person dies, Ariad dies too.”
Come to think of it, I felt like I had heard such a story somewhere before.
It is said that fairies are born in nature.
If you are born from a tree, you become a tree fairy, if you are born from a stone, you become a stone fairy, and so on.
The story of a fairy, a life born from a natural object full of mana.
So, was the fruit I just ate from the tree where Ariad was born?
And those breasts are real and not fake?
“What tree was Ariad born from?”
“You’re watching it now.”
I can’t believe you’re watching.
What?
That’s right, there were a lot of trees around.
It was natural since it was a botanical garden.
Because the place was full of trees. Now that I look at it, it was a bit strange that all the trees looked like one type of tree… But I was convinced that it was that kind of botanical garden.
But, so which of those trees is the tree where Ariad was born?
When he was about to ask that, Ariad opened her mouth.
“All the trees here, no, this one tree is the tree from which we were born. “In the world I was living in, the tree was called the world tree.”
World tree…?
The world tree?
The world tree I know?
“Well, it’s not the world tree that branches out to the nine worlds in mythology. It is just a tree that continues to grow from one root, eventually forming a huge forest. If given time, it could eventually grow to the point where it covers the world… But that’s usually impossible.”
In the end, it’s just a tree.
“Its lifespan is so long that it almost never dies unless someone uproots it, so when it lives for a long time, fairies like Ariad are often born due to the accumulated mana.”
Even though Lilith said that, I still felt a little dizzy.
I said to Lilith while looking at the fruit that still had some seeds left in it.
“Anyway, I ate the fruit of the World Tree?”
“It’s not what you think?”
“Anyway.”
“Well… Right. “It’s a world tree in name only, and most of it was destroyed when we came over from that world, so what’s left is only the size of this botanical garden.”
The fruit of the world tree.
Even just hearing the name, it felt like a crazy elixir.
“So what is the effect of this? Now, are you just going to pull out my sword energy and do that?”
“…I know what you’re thinking, but it doesn’t have that effect? “If that were the case, I wouldn’t have given it to you and I would have eaten it.”
“No, how can I become stronger when I am already strong?”
“Because there’s nothing wrong with becoming stronger.”
That’s right.
But thanks to that, I was a little disappointed.
However, I was disappointed by the subsequent release and decided to cancel.
“Well, it’s still a world tree that has lived for thousands of years. It was only called the World Tree, but if it were really an ordinary tree, it wouldn’t have been given such a grand name. Although it has become much weaker now, it is said to have once been a world tree that covered half of the world. “It’s a tree big enough to give birth to a fairy like Ariad, so it must have been huge originally?”
It covered half of the world.
I couldn’t imagine it at all.
The Earth in the world where I originally lived is enormous, and if one tree covers half of it.
If that’s not the world tree, what should it be called?
In the world where Ariad existed, it was no wonder that it was truly a world tree and had the status of its name.
Perhaps, there is a possibility that it was considered something divine.
No, it must have been like that.
However, Lilith’s sentiments, which she said were nothing more than criticism, did not belong to the culprit.
“Anyway, Ariad’s sap is precious, but it’s not as good as the fruit you ate, right? “If you absorb it well, you can pull out the sword like you imagined.”
What?
I’m pulling out sword energy…!
I looked at Lilith with anticipation at her words. Lilith looked at me with a mischievous expression and continued speaking.
“But you don’t know anything about mental law or anything like that, right?”
Ah.
I wasn’t giving it or taking it away, but I was staring at Lilith who was picking it up and putting it away. Lilith laughed at my gaze and said.
“Still, well… It will at least slightly extend your lifespan.”
“Life expectancy increases?”
My life can be copied?
“How much? “How much will it increase?”
“…Well, I’m not sure. Hey Ariad. “How much will it increase?”
“Isn’t it only going to last about 10 years? “It’s a fruit that grew this year, so it hasn’t spread its roots that wide yet.”
“Well, that’s right.”
Lilith shrugs her shoulders at Ariad’s answer. While watching Lilith, I put the fruit with only the seeds in my mouth.
“…What are you doing?”
“It’s good for your body, so you should eat it all.”
As I chewed and swallowed it, I saw Lilith looking at me like she was looking at some crazy person.
“Even if you eat that, it won’t be much worse than the pulp, right? Plus, it can be used as a reagent ingredient, so if I took it and sold it, it would have been worth a few hundred.”
No, fuck.
You should have said that first…!
My money!
No, don’t be disappointed.
I said it wasn’t good, but I didn’t say it wasn’t effective.
As a result, they say my lifespan was copied by 10 years. Even though the seeds were less effective, I thought it would have lasted another year.
I had no idea how long I would live. Lilith looked at Ariad and said, as I was caressing my stomach, at least I didn’t have to die suddenly.
“But one is too little? Ariad, is there more? “Give me a few more.”
“What…? So… The fruit that grew this time is not much…?”
“It’s still going to be open anyway, right? “Are you sure you won’t forgive me?”
“That’s what I hate even more… Hehe…”
In the end, Lilith was able to obtain two more fruits from the World Tree as a reward for her friend, who almost robbed her from Ariad.
Lilith holding the fruit of the World Tree in her hand. I stared at her like that.
“…What you looking at? “I’ll use this separately, so don’t covet it.”
“Can you give me one more, or just half?”
“Don’t be damned. “It’s not like taking it multiple times is effective, right?”
“Oh, that’s enough.”
There was no need to covet it unless additional lifespan was copied.
“No, but now that I think about it, I think I’ll end up in a lot of trouble if I live too long.”
I’ve never been sick in any way since before, and I’ve already drank three bottles of the elixir that is said to guarantee long, disease-free life, so I wondered if it was a good thing to have an additional lifespan.
It would be nice to live a long time, but if living for a long time means making shit on the wall, it’s a different story.
Lilith spoke to my words.
“Not only will lifespan increase, but aging itself will slow down, so I don’t have to worry about that, right?”
So, rather than increasing your lifespan by 10 years, does this mean you are aging about 10 years later?
Either way, there is no change in the fact that lifespan is increasing, but given that aging is delayed, does that mean we don’t have to worry about dementia or something like that?
Then it doesn’t matter.
“I gave you some fruit, so you’re forgiving me now, right? Yes? “Lilith, Hanzo…”
And Ariad speaks to me and Lilith in a sorrowful voice.
I had already forgiven him for copying my life.
I knew very well that I would get scolded for being rude to people of a different race, but I made a mistake by forgetting it for a moment.
The problem was the release.
Lilith went through many hardships, including being suddenly kicked out by a friend she trusted.
I don’t know much about Lilith and Ariad’s relationship, but we were close enough that Lilith first introduced me as her friend, and it was okay to say that she was betrayed by that friend.
So far, what I’ve seen of Lilith’s personal relationships has been very limited.
The only ones I’ve seen are Hoaran and Ariad.
Anyway, these were the only two close friends of Lilith I knew, and she had been betrayed by one of them.
I would have been extremely angry if I thought my friend had done something like that.
I’ve never really had a relationship that I could call a friend.
“…Next time you do something like this again, I know I’ll never see you again.”
But in the end, it seemed like Lilith also forgave Ariad.
Was Lilith being kind, or was the World Tree fruit that her friend Rain plucked worth that much?
I’m not sure, but Ariad burst out of the ground with a bright smile upon hearing Lilith’s words.
“Thank you, Lilith!”
Ariad just fell and hugged Lilith.
It’s not that she couldn’t come out, it’s that she didn’t come out.
Thanks to this, I saw Lilith, who was buried in Ariad’s chest like me, nervously pushing Ariad away.
“S-fuck… Get rid of this tit!”
“Well, you’re so cruel… I’m sad… Hug me, Lilith…”
“Hey, bitch…”
I watched from the side as Ariad tried to cling to Lilith and Lilith tried to shake off Ariad.
Sloshing and sloshing.
Shaking.
Yes, it was very nice to see.
The sight of Ariad, who could be said to have colossal breasts rather than huge breasts, and Lilith, who had breasts that were large enough to overflow even if they weren’t Ariad’s, bickering with each other, was a truly heartwarming sight to watch from the side.
