Chapter 596 – Side Story 99) a Garden for the Elves (8)
Side Story 99) Garden for Elves (8)
The divine tree that grew little by little, but quickly, grew to the point where it reached my stomach. The thickness was as thick as my forearm, and blue leaves sprouted from the long branches.
“… Maybe I should plant this in the ground?”
Bondi trees are rooted in the ground and grow. However, since Saint, who had gone on an expedition to the land of monsters, had not yet found a suitable land, he continued to grow without rooting in the ground.
No matter how much the power of chaos was wrapped around it, it was hard to see that it was left untouched. Regardless of whether you pull it out again later, it will be more aesthetically pleasing to plant it in the ground.
“Um~ Nature’s Smel~”
So now Lisanna and I visited one of the botanical gardens owned by the Gwen family.
Like an elf who loves plants, flowers and trees that are hard to find in the Dark City were growing in the botanical garden. In addition, there are many trees over 10m tall, so visitors will not notice even if they plant sacred trees here until the expedition team that left for the land of monsters finds a good land.
“Shall I plant it here?”
“I think it’ll be fine. But I’m worried that all the other plants will die.”
Lisanna nodded at my question, but was concerned that the other plants would die. Even if the elves worshiped sacred trees, they did not only like sacred trees. Other plants were cherished and loved.
“Tsk. Lisanna.”
“Yes? Uh… Did my words offend you? If so, I’m sorry.”
“No, not that.”
When I put on a grumpy face, Lisanna fidgeted with her and she tried to apologize to me. She threw up her hand because she said something that seemed to contradict me and she wasn’t angry.
“I told you to call me Honey when we’re together. And why are you talking so hard?”
“Huh? Ah, that, that’s…”
Lisanna blushed and was ashamed.
“Hey, honey…”
But maybe it was because she had already called me honey, so the title I wanted came out quickly. I changed my posture, and I, who was making a displeased expression, smiled with satisfaction.
“Uuuuu!”
“Eh?”
However, there was something strange about Lisanna’s appearance.
As if she needed to urinate, she twisted her legs, at a loss for what to do, and pressed her hand between her legs. Her face was also flushed red.
‘No, I’m excited just by calling you honey?’
It was so funny and weird at the same time.
‘…Does this work for other kids?’
It’s absurd, but it’s true that this situation is funny now. Is it just Lisanna like this or are my other girls like this too? I was curious.
‘I’ll have to try it out later.’
It’s just that I’m not married anyway, but I live with my girls and have crazy sex parties whenever I feel like it. It was the same here in Dark City and my alter egos spread out in other areas.
‘But I have to finish some things first.’
The hot Lisanna was very suggestive. So she wanted to attack right now, but she held back. Because there was something that had to be done right away.
It’s true that I like sex, but that doesn’t mean I have sex until I put off what I have to do. If that was true, even when that bastard Cthulhu showed up, we would have only had sex whether or not the world was going to end.
I am the Dark Knight, not the Sex Knight!
“Let’s plant it once. If it absorbs too much intellect and other plants are going to die, pull it out right away.”
“Yeah… Honey, do that…”
“…?”
At my words, Lisanna let her tail hang down with a very sorry expression. What? Surely you’re not regretting that I didn’t attack right away?
“I’d rather be here.”
Between the trees over 10m tall, there was enough space to plant sacred trees. Standing there, I took out the torch from my inventory.
A divine tree that grew to my height, and was as thick as my forearm, so I could call it a tree now.
‘Tsuba… My baby is all grown up…’
It was my credit that the Sacred Tree, which was just a seed, was able to grow this far. If I hadn’t given the nutritional supplements until now, the divine tree would still be sleeping as a seed.
Kwadeuk-!
The soil that had enough nutrients rose into the air. Through the thick trees, the ground dug deep and hollow, as if a giant had scooped up the ground with a spoon.
I put a new tree in it.
“Oh. Honey, look at this.”
“Ugh… Your honey, what… Huh?”
Lisanna came to my side and her eyes widened as she saw the roots of the sacred tree planted in the ground growing rapidly.
Something that could never happen to an ordinary tree happened. However, considering that this tree is a divine tree that the elves hold sacred, it was not so strange.
“Wow… A real divine tree isn’t a normal tree. But can’t we just leave this alone?”
“Hey, honey! Heh, the dirt…!”
The divine tree was not usually greedy. Should I say it’s gluttonous?
After being deeply rooted in the ground, it began to absorb the soil’s fertility. The moist soil, which had been holding moisture, quickly became crumbly.
The current sacred tree was no different from a child in the growth phase when compared to a human being. It was understandable that he became so gluttonous after meeting real intelligence while living his life by eating only nutritional supplements every day.
However, if left alone, all the plants in the botanical garden might dry up.
“Wait a minute.”
Before the Divine Tree sucks more intellect, he hastily granted the power of chaos anew. The effect contained in the power of chaos was to prevent celibacy and sacred trees from being greedy for intellect.
‘Is it because it contains the wishes and wishes of the elves? Can’t you completely control it even with the power of chaos?’
But this was only a stopgap. Lisa I don’t know, but she was visible to me. It means that the divine tree gnaws at the power of chaos that surrounds my body little by little.
It was impossible for an ordinary being to resist my chaotic power. Being able to do that meant that I was already a divine being like the divine tree, Cthulhu, and that misty thing.
“Honey, are you done now?”
“Yeah. But it’s just a stopgap measure. Well… It’ll be fine for a week, but after that it’ll suck your brain power again. So then you’ll have to take action again.”
“Ah… I can’t…”
“Well, I’d like to hope that Saint quickly finds a place where he can grow a divine tree.”
The power of chaos was granted every week, but it didn’t matter. This is because it is much cheaper than dimension movement anyway.
“Then honey?”
“Yes? Ah, yes… Why do you, honey…?”
Earlier, it seemed like he naturally called me honey, but it still seemed embarrassing. Lisanna’s face turned red.
“Take off your clothes. The baby sacred tree seems to be hungry, so give it some nutritional supplements.”
“…”
When she said this with a smirk, Lisanna began to undress her. I had the most fun when I gave nutritional supplements to the divine tree.
Moments later, Lisanna’s cries echoed throughout the botanical garden.
*****
A month has passed since the divine tree was planted in the botanical garden. The elves of the Gwen family closed the botanical garden altogether, probably to worship the divine tree comfortably, and visited the botanical garden whenever they had time.
The elves showed communication with the divine tree by talking to it or petting its rough skin.
Seeing that, I thought closing the botanical garden was a wise choice. Talking to plants was enough to make people look crazy.
“Hey~ Father-in-law~”
Having given the divine tree plenty of chaotic power and nutrients (me + Alice), I visited the expedition after a long time.
Certainly, the land of monsters was not an easy place for elves.
I couldn’t sleep well at night because of the monsters that constantly flocked to me after smelling them, and I wouldn’t have been able to eat properly without the food I gave. This is because the animals and plants that grow in the land of the monsters have been affected by the energy emitted by the monsters and have changed.
It’s been more than two months since the expedition started exploring the land of monsters, and the elves’ skin and hair were very dry.
“… My benefactor.”
“Huh? What are you doing?”
The elves of the expedition, including Saint, were holding back tears. If I tapped it, it looked like I would burst into tears at any moment.
“Are you constipated? What’s wrong with a group?”
“We, we elves… We were not alone.”
“What do you mean by that? Please explain so I can understand.”
“Look there… Look there.”
“What do you think… Huh? What?”
In the direction Saint pointed, there were tall trees well over 30 meters high. And in it, I could feel the tree exuding familiar energy as if it were unfamiliar.
Even though I’m a transcendent being, I’m not an elf, so I can’t immediately recognize the divine tree, but since I’ve taken care of the divine tree from seed to present over the past two months, I was able to notice that the tree was a divine tree.
“A sacred tree?”
“We weren’t the only ones who came over to this world. The Goddess who came over to this world… Wasn’t one.”
“Kheuk!”
“Ah… Sacred Tree… How lonely you have been!”
“Hey heck!”
“…”
Unable to control their overflowing emotions, the elves eventually began to shed tears. I really thought they were the same.
“Are you grown enough for that?”
“Yes, benefactor.”
“Then you can plant a divine tree here.”
A grown sacred tree no longer requires intellect. Rather, it absorbs intelligence and returns more abundant intelligence back to the ground.
The Sacred Tree, which grew up eating only the nutritional supplements I gave, needed a lot of intellect, and this place was an environment sufficient for the Sacred Tree to grow.
“You worked hard, Saint. I thought it would take quite a while, but you found it sooner than expected.”
“It’s all thanks to the benefactor. If it wasn’t for the benefactor, we wouldn’t have even thought of exploring the land of monsters.”
“Well, my balls are big enough.”
He playfully responded to Saint’s words and patted him on the shoulder to show that he had worked hard. You’ve worked hard all this time, father-in-law!
“Then let’s go home now. Let’s take a break and move the divine tree here. Combined with each other, let’s prepare a villa where you guys can rest.”
“Oh, could you wait a moment? I’ll remember the location of this place soon.”
“No, you don’t have to.”
“Yes?”
Woo-woo-!
When he used the power of chaos, a large circle with a hexahedron inside appeared on the floor.
When I was not yet perfect, humans took over the 2D space made of my body without permission and ran a black market. In order to enter the black market, a special magic circle was required, and the circle I created was just that.
A large-scale moving magic circle connected this place where the divine tree is located and Gwen’s basement. Now, if the elves wanted to, they could go back and forth between the Dark City and the land of monsters through this magic circle.
“Hmm… I can’t keep calling this the land of monsters, so I’ll have to give it a name. What’s good… Ah! Yes. Saint, this is the garden of the elves starting today.”
“The Garden of the Elves… You mean?”
“Yes. This is an area exclusively for elves, where only elves can use it, and humans cannot dare to set foot in it without permission.”
“… Keuheop! Thank you! Thank you benefactor!”
At my words, Saint shed tears of emotion.
Garden of the elves, yes, this is the garden of the elves starting today.
