The Book Of Flowers

Wait around

-- The gate of the forest ---

...

Serens...

You're still fighting...

It seemed like he could no longer speak anymore right now. He could only see us through his already thinning eyes

...

Huh...

Please Seren, don't force yourself. You can rest

It's too painful for us to see you suffer like this. But, if you yourself are not ready to leave, we will also not be ready to drive you

So please, don't force yourself

Oberon Aestas wouldn't be happy to see you like this...

...

"Vaine..." Verdea said

"... It's all right. He'll be asleep in a minute. I've put a little spell on him"

More precisely, it is a plant. The plant I suggested to Claudia to make sure Yuriel fell asleep

"... He should rest. I've seen him try to light his protective magic lately. But, does it matter if we give him this kind of sleeping pill, Oberon?" Welt asked

"No problem. Only, do not be given with excessive doses. If she refuses to sleep, just make sure she's a little limp so there's no need to use her powers"

I already thought he would do this. Any beings related to the Elves would also be bound by their duties even if they were not Elves

"... Seren is very important to you. If only I could help"

...

Even with the power of the Verdea seal, I'm not sure the purifying magic that deployed our strongest magic harpoon was able to undo the curse from Seren's body

Seren who was also continuously trying to install his protective magic was not at all helpful to his circumstances

"And they continue to be bound by their duties, even when dying like this..."

"They?"

"I'll tell you later. For now, I want to make sure Seren can fall asleep"

Verdea retreated while coming with me to make sure Seren was asleep, no matter how long

I'm glad he wants this kind of understanding

...

The three Elf protective creatures

Seren, Leshy, and another creature named Augurtrail, a creature from the Treant tribe who lived outside Miralius despite belonging to the Elf race

The three of them were bound by 3 different people, but were able to work harmoniously to protect the Elves from outside danger

Seren, as it is known, was tasked with protecting the entrance to Miralius, the Forest Gate. He was able to guard it using a protective magic that was his strongest magic, reaching 70 Kilometers more in the form of a circle

It was because he was a dragon, and a dragon that had the habit of nesting would have great protective magic just like him

Leshy is tasked with dispelling bullies from outside Goeitias, and also relieving the problems that are in it. All monsters in Goeitias can be accommodated thanks to his permission. He has more power than the other two, and you have seen the evidence

I shouldn't have told you this about him because he asked, but he also had a habit of protecting those who happened to pass Goeitias from the dangers of monsters. Leshy had a good heart from the beginning, even though he was arrogant

Augurtrails. I honestly never met him in person, because he was shy. And unlike the other two who possessed extraordinary strength, he was just an ordinary Treant, even now even though his name was quite famous. His job was to monitor the movements of every creature around Goeitias, and quickly tell Leshy to use telepathy or trees and animals in the forest in case something suspicious happened

And I understand why he couldn't detect the arrival of Rosalia's allies 5 years ago before the disaster. Because, he could not detect anything if the person entered through the air at a speed that was beyond reason, or was already inside Goeitias, he said, until he considers something suspicious as the daily activities of monsters

He even left a myriad of apologetic messages using his ability to talk through a tree to me. I got tired of hearing him talk through his ability

"That's the whole point of the story"

Verdea seemed stunned to hear all that

Oh no, he'll ask...

There must have been something I missed in this summary so she was still curious

"Who are the people who get them attached to the task?" Verdea then asked

...

Thank goodness it's not a difficult question...!

"The three people who tied them up were all Oberon and their best friend. Oberon Aestas with Seren. Oberon Tibor with Leshy. And Oberon, or should I say Titania Shimia, with Augurtrail

Although I'm not sure that Titania Shimia is a friend of Augurtrail based on people's stories..."

(Note: Titania was also used as a title for the female ruler of the Elves. So like the queen so.).

"Why?"

"Because she hated communicating with someone other than her husband and father"

Cyrus and Zaphir once told me that her husband was friends with Augurtrail, so Titania Shimia was also indirectly like that

After all, I only realized that we had waited more than 15 minutes for all the higher-ups in Miralius to gather in this ordinary place...

Even the Father inside the Great Tree started to make no sound and was heard sleeping

"Yahanda. Let's get up"

He didn't respond. Yes that's it

I will order the trees around here to look for the higher ups

"By the way Vain is, you're going to teach me the technique you showed me just now aren't you?"

He's talking about the one we were with Leshy, right...?

"I told you not to. That technique will only make you exhausted half to death"

Maybe if his physique was a little bigger than it is now, maybe he could. But he wasn't even much taller than me, and his width was extremely slender

"You've given me a role so I don't have to fight...?"

"But what if you're pushed all of a sudden? Also, at most you will teleport me to Miralius!"

"That's not gonna happen"

He was still upset because of the incident in Crux hm...?

"How can you be sure?" Verdea asked again

Cih, he really...!

"Because the plan I made was perfect!"

We both grumbled after the debate and turned away from each other

But I can't guarantee he'll stop whining later...!

"All right, all right, I lost. What do you want me to teach you? And don't ask for anything, ask for something else"

Verdea immediately grinned at the sign of victory, as I simply glared for her to wipe that expression off her face

All to spend time waiting for all those people to come

"Then tell me how you call your holy weapons"

...

What's wrong with this kid? Why does he have to be like this? Why the more forward, the more he asked to be taught the impossible thing to do?

"Come Vainzel... Teach me...!"

"... But you have the seal, right? Not enough?"

"That's not what I meant! I want to have a physical weapon, something I can use to look cool!"

...

He's really still a kid...

"What the fuck is that look?"

Alright. Now let's just move on before the new debate begins

"By the way Remina, you don't want to see your father first?"

"Hm? No. gabe. I can do it later. Fear later the higher-ups have come and I myself who will not be present" Remina replied

"Huh? You're not a dutiful kid apparently" Verdea interjected

"I can spend time with him until we leave. This meeting is very important because it involves me as well

Such a simple thing alone is incomprehensible. And people call you smart"

Okay, they're gonna start fighting again

It didn't take long, and it really happened

Why does everyone like circus these days? I need to stop giving them that example. It's not good to see someone other than myself acting that way toward someone else

...

There's people coming. But the sound of his footsteps felt very slow, in case I did not pay attention to the ground well

"Who is that?"

Verdea and Remina stopped bickering as I spoke, and immediately went on alert

But our vigilance is free

When we found the man walking toward us, it was Albert

He immediately saluted us, and went up to where we were quickly

"Sorry interfering. Lady Eleanor can only greet you, for she is spending time with the children of Andromeda now"

So they're all still fine as it turns out. I thought Eleanor was so sick that she did not come to greet us at the entrance of Miralius, and just sent Albert away

"It just so happened that Mrs Ordelia was passing by, too, and I heard something unpleasant"

...

"If you already know, I don't need to explain the details, do I?"

Albert just nodded lethargicly with his eyes closed

"It's unfortunate he was caught. But that doesn't mean we can't get it back"

"... We?"

...

So. He offered to be a help too. Naturally, Albert and Veskal were cousins

Maybe he'll be useful, considering that he's also pretty good at sneaking around. He even barely managed to kidnap Verdea and almost*****- me at that time. Even from his footsteps just now, I knew that he was very careful about doing things, like a wolf that was quite dangerous

People today seem to be all powerful... They're all abnormal...

"So, I'd like to join this meeting. Madame Gwen will also be coming after me in a moment"

Great news. That way, we all won't have to wait any longer

If one of them has come, the other will come quickly even later

"In that case, we'd better wait a little while longer" I replied

"I happen to bring fruit. May I offer?"

"By pleasure"

Finally there's someone who understands I need a snack. Waiting won't feel like long if it's like this

And somehow these children even come to attack even though they have not been invited

"Don't spend it, you eaters! Half for me and Albert!"
