Dropped into Another World…

-Treant’s POV who was mistaken for a Nanafushi-

When the world tree decided to hide itself, I wanted to hide with it.

However, I was still small and weak.

I was so sad to be separated from our most important being.

However, I decided to do my part as a treant for the sake of the world tree that protects the forest.

I don’t know how long I wandered through the forest but it took me a long time before I settled down like a tree.

If an enemy came here, I would attack them to prevent them from getting deeper.

Even if I’m weak, I hope to reduce them at least a little.

I felt as if my heart was going to disappear many times.

Still, I wanted to fulfill my role as long as I can….

One day, I could no longer feel the pain of the world tree. My mind was being overtaken by the thing called evil eye.

So, I tried to sleep.

I casted sleeping spell on myself so that I wouldn’t come to a point where I’ll go against the forest.

I would never wake up again.

Suddenly, the world tree called me.

I heard its voice.

It’s funny that I casted sleeping magic on myself and now, I’m awake.

And I can feel the presence of the world tree.

However, its magic is different. Its former magic power should be colder from what I remembered.

The magic that permeates now is warmer and gentler.

What had happened?

I hurriedly followed the magical power of the world tree while feeling uneasy.

-0-

I was surprised when I saw the world tree.

Everything was different from the world tree I knew.

I wondered if I’m feeling warmth because the world tree is happy.

I asked my friends who were with the world tree.

-0-

I was surprised.

I can’t believe that the world tree died once.

Then, what about this world tree in front of us?

I heard that the god of the forest gave birth to a new world tree in this forest.

God of the forest.

I had never heard of it so I was confused.

Apparently, a god is a being that gives birth to life necessary for the forest.

Since he gave birth to the world tree, he must be a god.

These were the words of my friends who had been with the world tree for the longest time.

I guess that’s true.

-0-

And now, the world tree is with the god of the forest.

Amazing!

We, the treants, can stay with the god of the forest too.

I’m so happy.

-0-

The first time I met the god of the forest, I found that he looked like a human but the magic flowing around him was gentle and pleasant.

The magic of the world tree felt good but the magic of the god of the forest felt better.

I’m glad I was able to wake up from my sleep and meet the world tree once again.

—Scene Change—

-0-

I was surprised.

Everyone was watching the water spirits.

They are intimidating the god of the forest.

-0-

When I was wandering in the forest, I was surprised and saddened to see that.

That’s exactly how the spirits of the river hunt monsters.

The spirits will lift their upper body from the river and attack once they let their guard down.

Spirits live by absorbing magic they receive from the forest and spirits in the river live by the magic that flows in the river.

The reason they have to hunt is because they can no longer absorb enough magical power.

That’s a sign that the forest is weakening.

-0-

Wait a minute, the forest is full of magical power so why are they doing that to the god of the forest?

In addition, they are betraying the god of the forest!

As I was about to go to the water spirits my companions called everyone for a gathering.

The water dragon came to us.

I was thinking why it doesn’t stop the spirits but it said that they were showing their strength to the god of the forest.

Show strength?

The kings of the forest and their children compete with each other in front of the forest god to show off their strength.

That’s what the spirits are doing.

-0-

Is that so?

I calmed down and checked the spirits again….I see.

They want their strength to be recognized.

Perhaps because they are being watched by the god of the forest that the magical power around is warmer….

-0-

However, even though the god of the forest releases warm magic, is it alright to intimidate him?

No?

The water dragon is looking at the spirits with a troubled expression.

That’s right, why are you intimidating someone who wraps you with warmth?

-0-

Next is the earth spirit.

They’re not hiding their happiness at all.

Ah, the earth dragon is on its wit’s end.

-0-

Eh! Starting today, we do that too…..really!

I heard everyone screaming saying it’s impossible.

Even I can’t remember it after sleeping for a very long time.

As a result of our discussion, we’ll start tomorrow.

It was decided that we, the treants, will perform the dance of destruction.

Let’s train seriously.

Hnn? You too? Let’s do our best together.

-0-

Areh?

Was it to the right?

Jump there…ah, that’s wrong.

Which way was it?

Do you remember?

I don’t remember…anyone—

-0-

Rotate to the left, jump, jump, jump, rotate to the right.

Put your heart into it….ah!

I wobbled a few times by mistake.

I think the god of the forest is looking annoyed….we need to train harder!

-0-

Let’s have a special training and show off to the god of the forest.

Eh? Tomorrow is the dance of death?

Someone, teach me from the start!

-0-

Hnn? I feel joy running through my whole body.

….I can’t suppress my joy when the god of the forest is watching us….I can’t.

Can I stop for a moment?

….This is bad.

Careful!

-0-

Eh? I casted destruction magic to the god of the forest?

I couldn’t control my magical power.

Even so, my attack magic didn’t work at all. As expected of the god of the forest

Maa, I have to control myself more….I’ll do my best!

Tomorrow’s the day!
