'Hmph, this human, even if I lose my advantage over him, still doesn't pose a danger to me.'
'With his level of magical energy, even if he had an essence of massive mana, it would only have to wait for it to be absorbed.'
'As for him discovering my secret, this is far from being used against me , I must first try to get him to take my side. '
Within her mana essence, Azusa was rethinking her current state, it actually made her feel uncomfortable.
'Why doesn't he just submit and sleep and then it will be easy to absorb him to death?', every time Azusa let out her mana essence.
Its trunk life rates decrease dramatically!
Her energy consumption was being accelerated, the current state was already clear to her.
The first thing she had to do was try to brainwash this human.
She had already seen his second heart, it was the essence of fear seeping from it.
She also knew that he was ignorant of this world from the way he behaved in front of her these previous days.
'It's a pity that I can't rely on my mana essence and have to save it,' Azusa thought regretfully. However, there was no regret for the sake of her sleeping children.
Everything would already be as easy as taking away an unimportant life! .
What a shame !
But he was secretly wary of me. After knowing that I could read his thoughts, he actually became silent.' Azusa floated into the darkness and penetrated him, 'Okay, let's see what he does.'
Outside of the tree trunk, a human figure suddenly gradually appeared to take shape.
It was Azusa! After she came out, her senses intensified without cutting through her torso and only half of her body appeared.
She looked up and her gaze moved slightly before landing on a human form lying down on the grass.
I found Ryota lying on his stomach with his face turned to the other side.
Seeing this, Azusa immediately knew why this human was able to know her secret, 'For him to develop his senses with mana so quickly, I must quickly include him in my plan before he surpasses his weakness.' '
Azusa moved down the tree trunk freely and arrived next to Ryouta on the grass, 'Well I shouldn't show signs that I know anything.'
"Human, what are you doing?"
"Are you not listening, human being? I am speaking to you."
....
She called out to Azusa several times and did not give up.
Upon seeing him closely, Azusa knew that the person in front of her was awake and not sleeping, he was just closing his eyes.
Azusa watched him and did not mind what he was doing.
Gradually, a feeling of danger suddenly seemed to form within her.
'No, he can't do anything at all and I know that.' What if he was just looking?! Azusa thought and calmed her mood. She did not want to consume her mana essence on things that were not worth mentioning.
'H-this, this energy, k-how', suddenly without warning Azusa felt a refreshingly massive current pass through her slightly, 'What, what is this massive mana, no, where is its path?', Azusa's eyes widened greatly, 'No. Makes sense!' She suddenly realized something she had not expected.
This person in front of her was actually leaking his mana essence to her children! .
'H-this, why would he do that, no, how did he find out that mana is what passes through those pipes over there, h-this human why would he do something like this to me', Azusa thought and began to lose her calm, even if this was the first time she had met a sane plastician with... That did not prevent her from having experience with them.
It was a tree whose roots extended infinitely!
Azusa turned her attention forward as she felt the flow of mana gradually disappear through her connection with the pipes.
Threads of her mana essence were connected to the tubes to power her.
"Why did you do that, no, why would you even try?" Azusa was no longer calm and her thoughts were agitated and she did not dare to say it out loud.
The situation was beyond her plans! .
Ryouta, who was unconscious, suddenly raised his body immediately after opening his eyes.
Strangely, he did not speak after he stood, looking at the plant body in front of him, a slight smile came out of his lips.
His eyes were already dull and barely open.
Clack.
Like dropping a pen, Ryota's body fell without bending his legs.
"H-This, after releasing such a large amount of energy, of course his essence will be consumed," Azusa saw Ryouta's body sway in front of her and felt a strange feeling come over her. Her sense of danger suddenly became more intense.
This time, she could only feel the slight pulse of her children through her relationship with them.
That feeling of danger was no longer something she could ignore, it made her feel confused.
Her attention was no longer focused on her goals at this moment, without blinking her eyes, as she was looking at the delicate body falling in front of her.
In fact, she lied from the beginning!
She had a name, she had an identity.
That mechanism that she told Ryouta in front of her was greatly distorted.
Her curiosity, in fact, was only to know the amount of value of a person to change her fate and raise her children in this endless sand.
She also lived a longer life!
At this moment, Azusa calmed down silently, and the sound of pulses intertwined with her awareness, even the pulses of the person in front of her.
'This human might actually be my savior and not my enemy, what was I thinking from the beginning, ah,' Azusa sighed and extended her arms around Ryouta's body and carried him towards her and placed him on the trunk of her tree.
"It's not bad to end with two results either."
—A month later after the incident within this world's timeline.
In the middle of a dark field.
Within this pitch black darkness, several glowing wires stretched slightly and were no longer the same.
These wires were connected to a tube and extended with sufficient energy.
These wires derived their energy from a glowing source in the middle.
It was a ball of energy , like the sun at night. This ball gave off a green glow inside this darkness and was no longer dim.
This was the essence of mana ! And within that essence of mana was a sleeping human form. 'Hmm, how much you've grown.' Azusa tried to connect to the world's temporal path through her roots. 'Oh, I've grownIt's already been a month since I received his energy, the feeling of this energy is really addictive but like this it will be consumed again I have to stop it', Azusa thought through what happened previously she was able to discover that this human is actually naive but rational.
As Azusa always did, she penetrated her consciousness and brought out the outside from within her torso.
'Hmm, 'the moment Azusa came out she could hear different voices speaking slightly.
'He's not here, is he behind the tree trunk on the other side?' Azusa moved to the opposite side.
"Dad, why is my mother still asleep?" Through the green grass, a small tree shaped like a flower shone.
Inside that flower there is a child like a spirit fairy, swaying playfully as she speaks.
This little fairy's hair blended into the flower's head and her eyes were big blue.
"Hehe, is that true? Look over here." On a clump of weeds next to the tree trunk stood a young man whose body seemed unusually thin and almost half of his clothes were faded. His eyes were dead and without a sense of life. This young man had long, untidy black hair.
He was like someone from primitive times! .
Azusa, who was watching in secret, showed signs of happiness on her wooden face as Ryota was pointing towards her with his hand.
A slight smile appeared on Ryouta's face behind his long hair.
After the incident.
It started after Ryota's energy passed through the tubes, and at that moment he lost consciousness.
After he woke up, the first thing he saw was a wooden body with several branches around it. Surprising Lazusa, the moment Ryouta woke up, he asked her several questions in an excited manner.
"Azusa, didn't you know that there are many eggs under your trunks?"
"Azusa, I discovered that there are many souls inside these eggs after injecting them with mana."
"I, I no longer have to stay here alone, I will try my best to help these eggs grow."
.....
...
Azusa, who was greeted with an excited face after discovering hope, felt greatly satisfied, and she did not mind this change and added to it.
"Human Ryouta, you may not know it but these eggs are mine," Azusa spoke and watched Ryouta's facial expressions and found her very surprised. "It seems he didn't know, well," "And you have to know what it means for your energy to meet with my eggs to make them hatch," she continued. Azusa spoke intuitively and there was no wavering in her voice.
Of course, Azusa had to deliver this information to the human being in front of her.
This was even to monitor his reactions!
Ryouta who was lying down, his expression convulsed slightly before he raised his head with a clear look, "I, I know we are going to be a couple." As if the matter had moved on, Ryouta suddenly looked slightly to the side with a sympathetic look, "I actually feel a little grateful to them," Ryouta spoke in a grateful tone.
"What do you mean by that, do you feel it is necessary for you to be rescued like I said before," Azusa spoke and it was clear that her tone was murderous.
"No, I'm just grateful that I won't be a lonely person anymore," Ryouta said, looking directly into Azusa's eyes.
Faced with this confession, Azusa felt that she was very ignorant about this human!
