Chapter 13: Moving!
Lila was in high spirits.
As she hummed a tune, flowers around her began to bloom.
This must be the ability of the tree spirit Dryad!
When I reported the completion of the request, I provided a detailed account.
Firstly, the reason for the strong magical power was the ring I had on my left hand.
Since it disappeared when I cut off Jiroi's hand, there won't be such a massive release of magic power in the future.
Next, I mentioned that the captured Jiroi is immortal.
For Lila, this meant obtaining an eternal source of fuel, so she couldn't help but be delighted.
From now on, she would never suffer from malnutrition.
"I'm really glad I asked Tact-sama for a favor."
To the cheerful Lila, I conveyed that various magical creatures would gather around due to the absence of magic power from now on.
However, Dryads, in general, don't reveal themselves, so there would be no attacks.
"But I thought it was a good place..."
Considering the location, it was a perfect place, so it was regrettable.
However, Lila informed me about another place with fewer monster appearances and a more comfortable living environment.
Indeed, she truly is the guardian of the forest.
I received the promised reward, the "Dryad's Fruit."
When Lila placed her hand on the back of her left hand, a crest was engraved.
I could manifest it at my own will, so when I need the cooperation of the tree spirit Dryad in another forest, I can show it, and they will assist me.
As she had no use for the "Sealing Artifact" Jiroi possessed, I kept it for myself.
"Thank you very much! If there are any unwanted individuals, please bring them anytime, we welcome them."
Lila was in high spirits!
Her tone was gentle, but the content was cruel.
"Oh, no, thank you as well."
After exchanging greetings, we moved to the place where we were introduced.
It seemed someone had lived here before, as the central part of the tree was hollowed out.
It was spacious enough.
In terms of the environment, there was a river not far away.
The only concern was that the goblin settlement was the closest thing so far.
Lila cleaned up the new base a bit and reorganized everything again.
First, the question was whether the transmigrator was still alive.
If the transmigrator was alive, there was a high possibility that they had acquired a stronger unique skill than me.
Undoubtedly, they could learn even unreasonable skills during the Gulb era.
Next was the "Appraisal Eye."
If the content seen varied depending on the level, then it was necessary to raise the level further.
And then, there were Kuro and Shiro.
The excellence of these two.
It was clear that I, their master, was inferior.
I felt sorry for having them use honorifics for me.
I called Kuro and Shiro.
"Master, what can I do for you?"
"Do you need something, Master?"
They were as humble as usual.
"I have a proposal..."
I suggested that they stop using honorifics.
"I absolutely cannot do such a thing towards you, Master!"
Kuro immediately refused.
"If it is your command, Master, I will obey. However, I am not accustomed to it, so if you agree, I can gradually change."
Shiro considered accepting it.
Since it would be impossible to change immediately, I agreed on that point.
In this new base, we decided to become stronger quickly and leave the forest.
