Chereads / Rebirth of the Tree Fujoshi / Chapter 148 - Parting Gift

Chapter 148 - Parting Gift

I can't accept the things they do here, things that are normal to them but are slowly breaking them apart. Magi-kun, who has to carry the burden of the truth. Hypocrite, who's bottling up all his emotions and which will one day explode. Chair guy, who had to deal with the guilt of his lies. And all the others who were affected by his death.

This is only one case and look how much damage it's caused. Then how many other situations are there in this continent? And all because of what? Their ideology? I can't change that. The idea of war has been worked into their bones. And that's why...

"And that's also why I need to leave." I can't stay in this country anymore. I can't accept their views and actions. I'll finish what I've started and leave when it's over.

Magi-kun looks into my calm resolute eyes that hold no malice, nor anger. Tears well up and he whispers,"I'm sorry." He hangs his head.

"It's not you, I just don't belong here."

We stay like this for a long while, before Magi-kun's tears finally dry. With newfound determination, he gets up and walks around the lab, picking up various items.

He sets them all down in front of me and starts explaining them with a red nose. "This is an item bag, it's the only successful one I've created, I'm giving it to you. The space inside the bag is bigger than the outside, also..." He takes the originally thumbnail sized drawstring bag and starts opening it. The opening keeps expanding until it's the size of a suitcase. "Although it'll be easier to carry around, the space inside is limited." Then he starts explaining the gadgets he's picked up, putting them in the bag after he's explained their use. "You should also take this and plant it wherever you settle down." He hands me a pink seed.

Hmm? Wait a minute, isn't this my main tree seed? I look up at him. "Thank you." Really.

Magi shows me a kind smile,"No. I should be the one thanking you."
