Chapter 87

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

 

Selesina stretched herself contently, feeling that she was out of a stifling atmosphere for the first time in quite a while. She wanted to throw herself down if possible. She imagined how comfortable it would be to lie down on grass flowers around the great tree. 

 

“Lady Sele, here’s a watering can.” 

“Thank you, Hisui.” 

 

Selesina suppressed a wish to lie down and watered the great tree instead. The great tree had been growing fast and taller than Selesina’s height. It had some flowers on it. 

Looking at it almost took away all her tiredness. 

 

Selesina felt the heartbeat of life by touching the great tree’s trunk gently. As she had been prepared to see it die when the black flower bloomed on it, she was so happy now that it had grown healthily. 

She hoped it would grow even taller and bigger as it was doing. 

Then, she heard a fanfare in her head. 

<< Piro! The great tree had leveled up >>

<< Piro! The great tree had leveled up >>

“What?” 

 

Although she braced herself for what was happening, she knew the reason immediately. An event was about to occur because the great tree had leveled up to Level 10.

 

“Lady Sele?” 

 

As Hisui gave a questioning look at her, she waved off by laughing, “Never mind!” 

Only Selesina can hear this sound. She checked the current state of the village while Hisui was putting the watering can away.

The great tree had gotten two levels higher to 10. 

The condition for Level 9 is for the number of people in the village to surpass 100. Level 10’s is for the duration of the great tree’s growth to surpass one year.

She was moved by the fact that a year had already passed though it was felt like an instant. 

 

The people in the village had reached 100 before she knew it because people had immigrated to Selin village from other towns and villages. 

 

Rare and delicious sweets, and honey and Selesina’s own brand ‘Selur Honey’ had been of great benefit to Selin Village. Arrival of spring after winter accounted for a sudden increase of immigrants at this time of year. 

Blacksmiths, carpenters, and tailors had come, including doctors who had opened the clinic. Selesina barely kept up as the things were happening all at once. 

Furthermore, some of them had been soldiers before so that the defense of the village was strengthened. 

 

“Thank you for having grown so well like this, my great tree.” 

 

She would keep growing it with loving care to hopefully make it the world’s greatest tree. 

—–Meanwhile. 

The great tree has an event every 10 levels. The condition to occur is to have a level up and the great tree touched by a player. 

That meant an event would occur if Selesina touched the great tree now. 

 

‘I think the first event would be to have a spring around the great tree… if I remember right.’ 

 

If a spring appeared, it would be easier to water plants around the great tree. And also water from a spring could be used as drinking water since it should be so clear. 

In addition to that, small animals would gather to celebrate when an event occurred. It would be a merry event with a cute surprise such as a squirrel could bring acorns or a cat could carry a mouse in its mouth. 

 

‘Watching it with a capture target raises popularity.’ 

 

It wouldn’t raise someone else’s popularity since Selesina was a villainess. Nevertheless, she had better do that when Soratek wasn’t around because raising Soratek’s popularity would be trouble. 

Otherwise, Soratek and Meria might not have a happy ending and Selesina might end up being executed. 

 

She would have done with it quickly right here if she could, which wouldn’t be the case. 

 

Then Hisui returned after he put away the watering can. 

 

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Lady Sele.” 

“Not at all, Hisui. ….Have you noticed, Hisui?” 

“? Noticed what?” 

 

Seeing Hisui tilt his head with no clue, she smiled broadly. 

 

“Exactly one year has passed today since the great tree was planted.” 

“Ah…!” 

 

With what Selesina said, he put his hands on his head regretting he had been careless. He remembered that they indeed had planted the great tree here one year ago today. 

He had been busy enough lately to forget about it completely. 

 

“I’m sorry, I should have known…” 

“Ha ha. Even a person like Hisui can be careless. So, why don’t we celebrate it with all the people in Selin Village?” 

“That’s a great idea!” 

Right after Hisui nodded and agreed promptly, he began to worry with his hand under his mouth. 

“Hisui?” 

“…Oh. Under normal circumstances, I would have taken several days to prepare for a proper celebration. But today is the first anniversary…” 

It seemed that he looked for what he could do within a day. His thoughtfulness delighted her and she was impressed by what an excellent butler he was. 

Yet, as far as Selesina was concerned, she didn’t expect to throw a grand celebration that much. Although the celebration was for the first anniversary, Selin Village had still been developing and had shortages of many things. It would be enough to have delicious meals and talk about the village together without overreaching themselves. 

“We had better have a celebration just fit to ourselves of today.” 

“You’re right. Then I’ll let everyone know about…” 

“I heard you!” Gatz showed up and interrupted Hisui before he finished “about that.” Gatz looked happy enough to have watery eyes. 

“I’ll prepare for a banquet right away!” 

“Mr. Gatz… Thank you, but please don’t push too hard because we don’t have so much time, will you?” 

“Of course!” 

Gatz who lived in Selin Village was excited about the first-anniversary celebration. 

He is in his thirties with a white bandanna on his head, whose beard suits him. He is in the prime of life and has a position as a leading figure in the village. 

He busied himself around the village while uttering, “Let’s have a feast!” 

It quickly evoked many responses such as “What?”, “Tell me in detail!”, or “It should be Picott’s company to give them a hand!” 

The celebration seemed likely to be so much fun.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
