[Author's Notes]
※ I don't have much time today, so this chapter is rather short. My apologies.
The words Jutia-san said in response to the anguishes Sieg-san conveyed to her... That Sieg-san was a High Elf.
The one who was most surprised by this was none other than Sieg-san.
[I- I'm a High Elf? How in the world...]
[Hmmm. Since the person herself isn't aware of this... Could it be, could it be, you ate a "Fruit of the World Tree"?]
[Fruit of the World Tree... Y- Yes, I had eaten one before.]
Seemingly certain that Sieg-san is a High Elf, what came to Jutia-san's mind was the Fruit of the World Tree.
Sieg-san certainly had eaten a Fruit of the World Tree, but wondering why that would lead to her evolution from an Elf to a High Elf, I waited for Jutia-san's next words.
[The Fruit of the World Tree, you see, contains Lillywood-sama's powerful magic power... In other words, it's like you ate a lump of magic power of nature. Of course, of course, just eating that doesn't make you evolve to a High Elf. However, only the talented children would have the opportunity to evolve.]
[...That means, I really am...]
[Unnn, unnn, I can't be mistaken here. From all the time I've lived, I've met a lot of various High Elves. I can't be mistaken when I see the magic power of a High Elf. You've definitely evolved to a High Elf.]
In other words, since Sieg-san, an Elf with great talent, ate a Fruit of the World Tree and took in a large amount of magic power of nature into her body, she evolved into a Special Individual, a High Elf?
Speaking of High Elves I met, there's Fors-san... but I honestly couldn't tell how she's any different from a normal Elf.
However, to Jutia-san, who is a Spirit, the magic power of a High Elf seems to be unique and something she can't be mistaken when she sees one.
[...T- Then...]
[Unnn, that's right, that's right, I can sense the magic power of nature from you. That's why, that's why, I think that you should be able to use Nature Magic without any problems.]
[ ! ? ]
Hearing Jutia-san's words, Sieg-san looked shocked and overcome with emotion.
Being unable to use Nature Magic must have been quite the complex for Sieg-san, so I think it would probably be difficult for her to explain what she currently feels.
However, unnn. At least, it isn't a bad result for Sieg-san, so I'm glad.
As I had such thoughts in mind, seeing the deeply moved Sieg-san who had tears in her eyes, a smile appeared on my lips.
