'I, I'm already close, I have to persevere,....' Ryouta thought as the distance between him and the tree shortened.
The assumption that it was a mirage still made Ryouta's eyes become heavy.
At this moment, the distance between him and the tree became less than 50 meters. "It is, it is not a mirage, it is a real tree." Ryouta spat out several words with difficulty. The time he had been suffering made him run to safety.
After several exhausted breaths, Ryouta began to enter the shadow of this tree, 'How huge, it is more than 80 meters long and 30 meters wide.' Ryouta's body gradually slowed down, upon arriving under this shade he still felt hot, yet it no longer posed a physical threat to him. .
He racked his mind, 'This figure, what a trunk.' Ryouta reached towards the thick tree trunk. It was like the skin shell of an ancient dragon.
Underneath the tree there is a circular diameter of grass growing on it. This was generous to Ryōta, 'for only grass to grow in this place in a circular shape. It is clear that the tree is alive.'
This tree gave him a strange feeling, it was like fear!
'Hehehe, I must be crazy.' Ryouta's lips curled up on his face with a chuckle, and he leaned his body that had finally given him a heavy feeling on the tree trunk. 'Cool, looking at it now, with this size it seems that the trunks reach the depths,' thought Ryouta and finally felt the huge number. From the feelings, chest tightness.
At this moment, Ryouta's eyes were stinging. The nerves in his eyes gave him a painful feeling that merged with the pain of his mind. Heavy, the situation was heavy.
His eyelids became heavy and his mind became heavy. He did not feel the pain in his body anymore. He was completely numb!
"Tchshh."
"Huh," Ryouta's eyes that had been observing the blood on his body suddenly opened, "H-Is this a cure?" Ryouta said in a tone of disbelief.
The complex wounds on his limbs were emitting a bright green light. His limbs were definitely healing.
'The previous fatigue also faded, h-is it this tree?' Ryouta raised his head and his eyes met above with the streaks of sunlight intertwined with the branches.
"Is it you?" Ryouta said as he looked towards the top of the tree.
It seems that what happened to him had affected him greatly, but this is not the reality.
Ryouta was actually carefully observing and analyzing in order to find the most information to use.
'It's good, no, it's saving me to have my physical condition healed, though if this tree isn't the cause then what could be? If my life is hanging by a rope...' And as Ryouta knew, this world was completely different from what he knew.
Just the previous events are enough to know that, but there was a question inside Ryouta's mind, 'If the world was different, then different beings would be created in this way, then this world would be established in a different way, it seems that beings like humans are not in my way anymore, huh', I no longer have Ryouta has only one way to survive, which is to use his brain more than before.
This world will impose total limits on him and the knowledge of the previous will certainly become invalid.
'But if this world did not follow the ways of the Earth with colonies, the Earth was divided, what if this world was not like that? "No, even then, if he doesn't follow the rules in this world….." Ryouta had his head down thinking after he was healed, he was already delving deeper into his assumptions, when suddenly he heard strange whispers like the sound of a suffocating wind. .
'W-What's that sound?' Ryota turned his head and raised it
"I hear you, you frightened creature."
Time suddenly stopped and Ryouta's body immediately froze, 'There is no doubt.' Ryouta raised his head and on the huge trunk on the roof of the tree a shape began to gradually take shape from the action of the branches. Two hands formed and then on these hands a piece of leaf appeared in the shape of clothes.
Gradually, a body formed in the sky above Ryouta. It was a girl with branches on her head like horns. Her ears were like the grass that Ryouta saw growing under the tree, and tree branches curled into buds around her. She did not have legs, as only half of her body appeared from the tree trunk.
'H-Is this, is it this tree, as I expected this world is not the same, quickly, this tree cannot be expelled'—Didn't you hear, I hear you, you frightened being
"H-you hear me, but I didn't speak,...eh, are you saying my thoughts?", Ryouta's eyes twitched slightly before he returned to his normal expression. He cut off his thoughts directly and was no longer thinking.
His gaze remained on the "tree" in front of him, and a small smile appeared on his face. He said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry for intruding, but I'm not afraid..." Ryouta said several words with a frown and continued, "In fact, thank you for the treatment earlier. It saved my life." "Ryota finally spoke with an embarrassed change and scratched his cheek nervously.
In fact, he was observing the expressions of the person in front of him. Contact with a tree had already made him fall into a sea of thoughts, yet he had no choice but to suppress them until he had the opportunity.
Trying to think in front of this tree will cause several wounds to his acting! .
"So, I was actually watching you from the beginning from here, but that treatment was not from me," the tree spoke, its voice was no longer as loud as before, and now that it had been shaped into a human form, its voice was sweet to the ears.
"—Frightened creature, why are you afraid?" At this moment, the tree's expression was curious as it looked towards Ryota.
The tree no longer knew how long it had been asleep.
But inside her life span increase sleep, she felt a condensed mass of mana, "This, a remote desert, what existence would bear to be here?" With such curiosity, the tree woke up.
At first, she hid her branches so that no one would notice them, but gradually as she observed them, she began to feel that the mass of mana she noticed was draining.
She was curious, in her entire life she had never met anyone.
Everything to her was just whispers under the sand.
Upon hearing this question, Ryota knelt down in front of the tree's eyes.
He put his hands around his head, keeping a distance between them.
The sound of raindrops!
"This creature...it's strange." The tree looked towards Ryouta and felt the salty air blowing by him, "Doesn't he know what I'm talking about? "Am I the only one who can see this?"
He is ignorant!
The tree looked at Ryota with its green eyes and scanned his body.
She stood with a keen gaze. She was observing the aura on his body. The tree was the basis for giving life. 'This mana has a dark blue color. What a huge fear.' The tree knew the chain of connection between mana and its owner. It was the tree. It knew that mana reflects the state of its owner. From the depths of his heart.
This person in front of her gave her a sense of fear!
'Also, these thoughts were previously incomprehensible, and it seems that he has become careful to suppress them.'
To see that a tree has lived a long time, it has gained wisdom, and more than that, it has different opinions.
What a world!
"It's okay, human. Now you're under my shade. You're protected. I'll allow you to stay as long as you want." The tree conveyed its voice directly towards Ryouta. It was not a matter of keeping someone who didn't know himself under it. More than that, it seemed to her unknown how much mana he was releasing.
Ryota made her even more curious!
Such a being, he was actually frightened!
In front of the gaze of the tree that he had watched from the beginning, Ryouta gave a polite look and the corners of his mouth turned slightly, 'There is something that has escaped my hand.' !
