This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu
About a hundred years after Isis arrived at Kuromueinaās place, she stood in front of the World Tree, a huge tree right next to Kuromueinaās home.
From what she heard from Kuromueina, this tree used to be the size of an ordinary tree, but over the years, it has grown larger and has now become so huge that it almost pierced the skies.
Keeping a short distance from it, Isis spoke to this huge tree.
[ā¦ā¦Soā¦ā¦ Ein had made new clothes againā¦ā¦ and she had been complaining about itā¦ā¦ Saying that even though itās practicalā¦ā¦ It apparently wasnāt elegant enoughā¦ā¦ Itās amazingā¦ā¦ how she can make a lot of things though.]
Ein, who aims to be the perfect servant, has acquired skills in various fields, including ones related to the creation of clothing. Of course, at their level, normal materials wouldnāt hold up during battle, so in the end, she was constructing them with magic power, but Ein says that the best way to make something perfectly is to try making the real thing.
However, it seems that sheās finding it difficult to create something satisfactory, as she repeated the process over and over again.
As she talked about this, Kuromueina came floating from the sky.
[Iām back~~]
[ā¦ā¦Welcome homeā¦ā¦ Is the battle in the westā¦ā¦ settled?]
[Unnn. I somehow managed to find a common ground for both sides. Well, the root of the problem still remains, so theyād probably clash with each other againā¦ā¦ Isis, you talking with the World Tree again?]
Kuromueina, who is called the Strongest in the Demon Realm, is often called as a mediator in complicated battles, and this time, she returned after taking charge of the discussion between two species that were in an intense conflict with each other.
After talking about it with a wry smile, Kuromueina asked while looking at the World Tree, Isis nodded her head.
[ā¦ā¦Unnnā¦ā¦ Iām sure the World Treeā¦ā¦ being alone hereā¦ā¦ is also lonely.]
[I see. Isis is very kind.]
Isis often talks to the World Tree like this. Of course, being a tree, she doesnāt get any response from the World Tree, but she often talks about what Kuromueina and the others were like.
Perhaps, because there are no other trees around, Isis could see the figure of the lone World Tree overlapping with the lonely her.
[But even so, I think itās okay to not be that far away from it, right?]
[ā¦ā¦If I get too closeā¦ā¦ it might scare the World Tree.]
[Iām sure it will be fine. Iāve told you this before, but the World Tree has tremendous magic power. Besides, the World Tree is older than Isis, so it should be alright now that you can control your magic power to some extent.]
[ā¦ā¦Youā¦ā¦ think so?]
Even though she had an uneasy expression on her face when she heard Kuromueinaās words, Isis slowly approached the World Tree. Seeing her like that, Kuromueina pondered.
(Even so, she still canāt fully control that magic power huh. Magic power that canāt be blocked by barriers or Defensive Magicā¦ā¦ Isisā magic power is clearly superior to normal magic power. Its nature is close to that of Godsā Authorityā¦ā¦ resembling Einās Time Magic. Did she do something again? Geezā¦ā¦)
In fact, at this point in time, the people Kuromueina called her family, including Isis, had something in common. That is, they clearly have some factor that separates them from the other inhabitants of the Demon Realm.
Ein has the ability to manipulate time, an ability much superior than magic, Megiddo has abnormal combat power and destructive impulses, and Isis has her peculiar magic powerā¦ā¦ and she was convinced that Shallow Vernal, her half-body was involved.
Astounded at her half-body, who was experimenting on people as she pleases, she watched as Isis reached out to touch the World Tree.
[ā¦ā¦A- Are you sureā¦ā¦ it willā¦ā¦ be alright?]
[It will be alright. Even if your magic is peculiar, Isis is a very gentle child. Iām sure the World Tree itself knows that.]
[ā¦ā¦U- Unnn.]
Encouraged by Kuromueinaās words, Isis reached out to the World Tree. Just as her timidly stretched-out hand touched the World Tree, āa hand that came out of the World Treeā held Isisā hand.
āā¦ā¦Yes, no matter what kind of magic power you have, I can feel your kind heart.ā
[ā¦ā¦Eh?]
In front of the startled Isis, the trunk of the World Tree moved and a woman with hair made of leaves appeared from within. Isis was bewildered, not knowing what had just happened, but the nearby Kuromueina nodded, seemingly having comprehended something.
[Are you perhaps the incarnation of the World Tree?]
āYes. āNice to meet youā is what I should say at a moment like this, yes? Thank you for protecting me since I was a small tree. I had already been conscious even back then, but I still didnāt know how to materialize my form, so my greeting was delayed.ā
[I see, so that kind of thing happens huh. This is the first time Iāve seen a being that isnāt a Demon, but an incarnation dwelling inside a tree. However, Iām glad I got to meet and talk with you like this. What should I call you?]
Seeing a being like the woman in front of her was also a first for Kuromueina, as she looked really curious about her. Nevertheless, as Kuromueina looked at her with a bright smile, the woman smiled back.
āMy name as a tree is Yggdrasilā¦ā¦ but I would also like to get a name from you like everyone else, so would that be alright?ā
[Okay. Letās seeā¦ā¦ Then, how about Lillywood?]
āLillywoodā¦ā¦ is a good name. Well then, I will call myself Lillywood Yggdrasil. I am in your care hereafter, Kuromueina, Isis.ā
[Unnn. Nice to meet you.]
[ā¦ā¦N- Nice to meet youā¦ā¦ Lillywood.]
As for the extremely rare being like Lillywood, after later discussions between Kuromueina and Lillywood, it was decided to call her a āSpiritā, and Lillywood, the Spirit of the World Tree, became the newest addition to Kuromueinaās family.
Isis is very happy about the addition of a new family member, and perhaps due to their compatible personalities, she and Lillywood quickly became good friends, and it didnāt take long for Lillywood to become the one sheās closest in her family.
Every day is full of life. Indeed, every day is happy and joyfulā¦ā¦ She should have gotten what she wanted. But strangely enough, deep down within Isis, there still remained an indescribable sense of loneliness.
And as such thoughts lingered in her mind, she often dreamed of the other Isis standing in the snowfield. The other Isis never said a word to her. Unless Isis herself called out to her, she basically just stood there for a long timeā¦ā¦ However, at the sight of this other Isis, she felt an indescribable sense of unease.
Silent as the other Isis may be, it was as if she was sayingā¦ā¦ āYou still havenāt gained anythingāā¦ā¦
