Chapter 451 – Ep.450 Kalan Grand Forest
I briefly fell from a tree.
And I thought.
‘… Is it a real tree?’
Of course, it could be a fake tree, but I’m in a really bad mood right now, so let’s just skip that lame joke.
I looked at the mother of the forest, which looked like nothing more than a really big tree. But it was still just a tree.
Could it be that a dense elf with a bursting spirit pouch is actually playing a trick on himself by hiding in one of the abundant branches of that endless tree?
With that glimmer of hope in mind, I touched the tree again.
【This guy! Why do you keep ignoring what I say!】
“Ugh… !!”
However, I immediately took my hand away due to the strong rippling sound, as if a loudspeaker had been shouted at my brain.
“Wow…”
I frowned, clutching my head, which was still buzzing even after I let go. It’s no joke, it was such a strong shock that my eyeballs started rolling.
‘Ignoring what I say?’
As my shaky vision gradually regained stability and the headache disappeared, I pondered over her words that had struck my mind a moment ago.
‘… If?’
A process that passed through my head as if struck by lightning.
“Hey, Mother of the Forest? I think there is some misunderstanding between us. I’m telling you just in case, but I can’t hear my mother’s voice right now. Instead, like before, if I touched her hand or touched her body, I could hear her voice.”
I gently placed my hand in front of the tree.
“So please don’t yell like you did before. “Her head was pounding and she almost died.”
After about 3 seconds, I touched the tree again.
【Did you really not hear it?】
“Yes. “I really couldn’t hear it.”
【Hmm, wait about 10 seconds and then try your hand again.】
“Yep.”
I took my hand away as I was told, waited about 10 seconds, and then put my hand back again.
【It’s true. I sent a will with the intention of destroying Izzy, but I saw that it was fine.】
“… Yes.”
Goosebumps appeared not only on my arms but also on my back.
So, doesn’t that mean that they’ve done an experiment with the intention of turning me into an asshole in order to check whether what I’m saying is true or false?
‘Fuck…’
It seems that the tree called the mother of the forest has a different way of thinking than the women I have met so far. If I say this wrong, I could be in real trouble.
“Other than that, you could have just asked me to swear in the name of any god…”
【He’s a funny guy.】
The voice itself was the same flat tone as before, but for some reason I felt bad.
【You say such an oath as if you were kicking a stone rolling on the side of the road.】
“…”
Fuck, how did you know?
My lips suddenly became dry.
【No need to be nervous. Because I have no intention of doing anything wrong with that. In reality, life is for those who are fooled and are assholes. In that sense, you deserve to be praised for taking advantage of the means available to you.】
“Uh, uh, thank you… ?”
What. Surprisingly, it may be a tree that can communicate.
【Hmm. I also like polite children. But keep in mind. A little while ago, you ignored me because you didn’t know about me, but if you try to deceive me from now on, I will punish you appropriately.】
“… Yep. “I will keep that in mind.”
I thought it would be better if I didn’t answer, so I decided to never lie to this tree.
【So. Why did I come to see you?】
“That’s it…”
I was speechless for a moment when I tried to tell him that I came here because I wanted to have sex! I’m stuck.
No matter how many times I thought about it, it just seemed like a fucking crazy person.
“Before that, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?”
【I guess so. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a conversation with a child like you, so I don’t feel that bad.】
As he said, he seemed to be in a good mood right now, but as the name suggests, sudden onset attacks come on suddenly without any warning. For that reason, I had to think several times more carefully than usual before opening my mouth.
“It’s about the oath. “How did you know?”
【I was watching it, so wouldn’t it be weirder not to know it?】
“You were watching?”
【Okay. All the vegetation on this continent are my eyes and ears. So what I can’t see and hear is very limited.】
“… “I see.”
My lips and tongue were dry, but my neck moved for no reason.
【It seems like you have a special relationship with one of my children, so I thought you knew something about me, but I guess I overlooked it.】
“… Are you talking about Giena?”
【Yes.】
In response to that, I had no choice but to ask what I was thinking about.
“If… Have you noticed anything special about me?”
【I am an outsider who has been visiting for a long time.】
“… Ah, well. Okay.”
At that moment, I swallowed the question I was trying to repeat out of habit.
‘I was paying attention because I was an outsider who had been visiting for a long time… ‘You mean you saw me for the first time when you entered this forest?’
I asked her to give my rational reasoning a little more weight.
“You told me earlier. Are you able to see and hear freely outside the forest?”
【Okay. Even now, information is gradually accumulating in me.】
“You are truly amazing.”
【What. If we compare it to humans, it would be like praising their natural ability to breathe. But I don’t feel too bad.】
Fortunately, she seemed to be in a good mood so far.
And I too was able to relax a little.
‘Phew, I wondered if he had been watching me for a long time, but that wasn’t the case.’
As you said, it’s been a long time since an outsider came into this forest, and it seems they only started taking interest because they were there with Giena. But you can’t let down your guard.
‘Seeing as you said that information is accumulating, it seems like you can find what you want whenever you put your mind to it.’
Maybe even now, as he is talking to me, he is looking for something related to me.
Even so, I couldn’t think of anything that needed to be addressed right away.
Most of the time I talked to Sis, it was in the basement of the house, and sometimes it was in a bed or a bathtub somewhere.
【The question is, is that the end?】
“Yes? Ah, um… Well, what do you usually do… ?”
I wasn’t mentally prepared yet, but he asked that question and I blurted out whatever came to mind without even realizing it. It’s not like I went on a blind date.
【Unless it’s a special day like today, I spend most of my time sleeping. Compared to the past, the current era is very boring.】
But fortunately, she answered my questions faithfully.
“… ?”
Most of it is spent sleeping.
Then how did you know I came in?
Unlike when I passed through this place, I don’t remember feeling anything special when I entered the forest.
“Were you awake when I entered the forest?”
【No. Rihanna, that kid woke me up. The sea bastard is coming, so if a big problem arises, please stop it.】
“You damn thing of the sea… ?”
It really shouldn’t have been that way, but for a moment Siran’s face passed by her head.
【By the way, I am referring to the red guy you brought in.】
“Well, I see…”
【While we’re at it, let me ask you a question. That bastard behaved like a well-tamed animal next to you. Moreover, he was carrying a small child whose face looked exactly like mine. Is he by any chance the child of you and that guy?】
“No. No. Poetry… So, that little boy is my lover and his father is different.”
【Hmm… But.】
For the first time, she spoke with a voice of regret.
【There is no way a pureblood could result from breeding with a human.】
And then he muttered a very creepy sound to me.
【I thought I would be able to increase the number of children, but it’s a shame…】
Not even children, but children.
Were you planning on squeezing me into giving birth to my child to the elves?
“Uh, the mother of the forest?”
【Call it thread.】
“… Silnim.”
【Speak.】
“You said the elves were your children… Are elves a race that originated from Silnim?”
【Some kids are like that.】
“…”
I really thought about how to get out of this situation.
‘What is poetry?!’
Regardless of how trees create elves, I just had a hunch from the answer. The statement I made a while ago about increasing the number of children. The intention was not to make other elves have children, but to create a new high elf by becoming a mother myself.
‘You must run away as naturally as possible.’
It seemed that if this situation ended well, even if I left today, I would be able to come back later. So now it seemed necessary to retreat for a moment and organize my thoughts a little more.
“Umm, Sil… ?”
Let’s just say that my head hurts from the shock I received earlier and leave.
“Sil?”
But suddenly she stopped answering my calls.
‘… ‘Is this an opportunity?’
But I couldn’t back down willingly.
If you say you went out on your own and don’t see me again, that would be a problem. Because she hasn’t yet been able to get what she wants from her. I don’t even know what it is in the first place.
‘… Next time I come, I’ll have to ask about the curse.’
And I also asked a few things about Rihina.
It felt like he was secretly enjoying answering my questions, so I think it was a good choice as a way to narrow the distance.
【Ah, it came to mind.】
After not answering for a long time, she suddenly spoke as if she was talking to herself.
However.
Slurp.
“Uh… ?”
Tree branches extending from all directions suddenly grabbed my hands and feet.
“Um, Sil… ?”
【I don’t know why I forgot about that damn guy.】
“Umm…”
I don’t know what happened, but it seems like the situation I first assumed happened.
It’s like a fucking sudden rush.
‘Fuck. Since this is a living thing, its abilities don’t work…’
I had no choice but to swallow dry saliva as I waited for the Sith to descend at the right moment.
【Ah, yes. Seeing it this way makes me even more confident. Just like you, he had a face that captivated females. His body seems a little small… It looks similar.】
Ahhhhh!!
“Ugh… !!”
The tree branch tightened as if it would crush my wrists and ankles at any moment.
Cold sweat ran down my back and my throat burned.
As she became dizzy from the sense of crisis she hadn’t felt in a long time, her voice rang in her head.
【You guy. You are a stranger.】
It was a voice that was very cold and angry, different from anything I had ever heard before.
【Answer me.】
It wasn’t a situation where I could shake my head.
Even in a confusing situation, she seemed to be convinced that I was not from here, to the point where I could tell.
“That’s right…”
【Okay. Then I guess it makes sense. That bastard has become such a gentle sheep. Haha!!】
“Okay… !!”
The sound of her laughter hit her hard in the head.
For a moment, my head shook so much that I started vomiting.
Suuuuu.
“… ?”
Although my limbs are not free, the tightness has weakened to a point where it no longer hurts. But before I had time to pay attention to it, something new caught my attention.
Druddudduddudddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!
Thick roots came up from below and began to tangle and clump together. And it took on the shape of a plausible person.
Slurp.
It transformed into an elf that looked like it was alive, even with light green hair. If it weren’t for the two legs stuck in the ground in the form of roots, it was so realistic that you’d think it was a real, living elf.
【I have no grudge against you.】
Perhaps the anger had subsided, but her slightly calmer voice came back into my head.
【So, as long as you remain calm, I will let you out without any problems.】
As if he had shown her mercy.
It was a voice that exuded arrogance.
【Do you understand?】
I was moved in front of the elf created by a tree branch that was held against my will.
【There is no need to be scared. As long as you remain calm, nothing will harm you.】
The hand of the created elf went to my pants.
Looks like a doll.
Breasts that move freely.
‘… Possible.’
My son, who had been quiet, began to raise his head.
