Chapter 47 - The one loved by nature.

"I'm gonna take the seal off, kid. It's time to wake up."

.......................

[Title Skill [The one who is loved by nature] acquired.]

[Special Skill [Senjutsu: Lv1] acquired.]

The notifications came out once the old man got me back to normal.

How long has it been since the old man sealed off my emotions and desires?

I don't know. At the time, I felt very natural, so natural that it seemed artificial.

Time didn't exist, the world didn't exist. There was only me and nature, nothing else.

I have to say that training is definitely effective. I didn't have any thoughts that would distract me, proof of which is the skill [Senjutsu] I've gained.

It's already nightfall. It seems I've spent quite a few hours training. Shirone is no longer by my side, I guess she's gone with Mordred. I wonder how the little Nekoshou will fare with my Servant.

Grrrr-

I'm hungry...

I'm gonna go do some hunting.

Why can't I move? I feel like something is restricting my movement.

"You've already woken up."

Tiamat appears from behind a tree. I was surprised the first few times she appeared out of nowhere, but I think I'm getting used to it.

"Yes."

Tiamat frowned for a moment but soon relaxed and smiled.

"You look a little different. I mean for the better, of course."

Is that so? I don't feel that different.

"Hey, Tia. Since when are plants so strong?"

What is stopping me from moving are the roots, stems and shoots of the many plants and trees around me. It's a little strange that I can't even break a few plants.

"Well, it's your fault they're like that. You are the one who has given them so much power. Besides, they seem to have become so attached to you that they don't want to let you go."

Title Skill [The one who is loved by nature].

So that's what this skill was about. God's Voice, do your job and tell me what this skill does.

[Title Skill [The one who is loved by nature]]

[Your ki and nature's ki have become one, which has led to nature developing loving, not romantic, feelings towards you.]

[You have gained the ability to communicate with nature]

[You are incapable of harming nature]

[Nature will willingly support you when you're using any ki technique]

I see. So it wasn't that the plants were too strong, it was that I couldn't do anything against them.

The ability to communicate with nature doesn't seem like a bad skill at all, it has a lot of possible uses. And getting their unconditional support when you're using ki is also very helpful.

"Can you let me out?" I ask carefully to the plants that are surrounding my body.

"Will you come back?" A childish voice answered in my mind.

"Yes."

"Do you promise?" The childish voice sounded in my head again.

"I promise I'll be here every morning from now on."

The plants got a little tighter on my body before they split and retreated. I stood up and looked at Tiamat, who was addressing me with a gentle smile, and I smiled at her.

"How long have I been here?"

"54 hours."

Grrrrr-

"Ufufufu..."

Tiamat covers her mouth to try and hide her laughter.

"Has Mordred caused any trouble?"

"No, that girl seems to be taking Shirone's training seriously."

Grrrr-

"Come on, the others are waiting for you for dinner."

.............................................….

Swoooosh!

An arrow shoots out at speed barely visible to the human eye. The arrow travels a distance of 500 meters before hitting the centre of a target placed in a tree. But the arrow doesn't pierce the tree, and it dissipate in a black mist.

"Not bad, not bad." I can't help but mutter.

An object flew by about a quarter of a mile away.

Swoooosh!

Another arrow shot at that object and knocked it down in motion.

"Not bad, not bad." I went back to mumbling.

Another object shot out, and I set up the bow once more. But I couldn't create another arrow this time.

It seems I've reached my limit for today.

It's been a year since I started training Senjutsu and archery. During this time, I have only trained, trained and trained.

My skills have gone up quite a bit.

My [Senjutsu] reached lv 5 less than a month ago. I learned to use [Touki] shortly after learning Senjutsu.

"Thank you for helping me as always, Kuroka."

"It's nothing, Darling."

Since Shirone started training with Mordred, Kuroka decided to help me with my bow training. She was the one throwing those objects in the air.

She's been a great help during this time, and I'm very grateful for that. Although her attitude has been a bit problematic during this time. I don't remember what time it was, but she stopped calling me by name and started addressing me as Darling.

Not that I mind her calling me that, what bothers me is her aggressive attitude at times.

According to Tiamat, Kuroka was entering a state of semi-mating season. This is not normal since she is only 15 years old and should not start entering mating season until she is at least 16 years old.

Luckily, Tiamat was always around to intervene in time. I mean, I can't resist if Kuroka r.a.p.es me by force.

What's more, she's too young for this. Koneko-chan was still too young in the canon and was two years older than her.
