Chapter 269.2. The Mysterious Tree Is Mii-chan’s Tree

“It might have had a makeover!”

“A makeover for a tree? What do you mean? Moreover, the lady over there mentioned that it disappeared earlier!”

Tsk, it seems like trying to cover it up didn’t work. NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

The trunk behind her stands at a diameter of 80 meters, seemingly made of Mithril, reaching a height of 200 meters. Mii-chan looked downhearted as she observed it.

I thought it would work out, but it was a failure, a failure.

I had planted the mysterious tree sapling as a substitute for the Sacred Tree I just received. Since it was a barren land, it seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Until it was planted, the sapling of the mysterious tree had an unknown appearance. It’s quite a rare item, but I showed generosity by using it.

And this is the result of planting it.

-Mithril Tree: Level 60, weakens surrounding monsters, prevents weak monsters from appearing. Also, it constantly increases the quality of crops that can be harvested in the vicinity by +1-

It was such a waste! The appearance of a Mithril tree was extremely rare even in the game. Mii-chan had only seen it on strategy sites.

No matter how many I planted, I only got orange trees or apple trees.

The Spirit tree appeared though.

But was its ability like this? I had never seen it appear, so I didn’t remember it that well.

Or rather, since I planted in My Room, there’s no need to worry about monster appearances, right?

Well, whatever. It probably had this kind of performance. Yeah, that’s right.

“Priest-san, this Sacred Tree also has the effect of warding off monsters. And if you process the leaves, you might be able to obtain Mithril!”

Menacingly, the priest grabbed Mii-chan’s shoulder and shook her. His eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to be feeling a sense of urgency.

Well, if we leave it as it is, it might be dangerous for him. Other nobles and criminal organizations might target him. I thought it would become an ordinary orange tree or something. Seriously.

“Understood! In that case, I, Takano Miu, will buy it! And I’ll make sure to restore the shrine to its original state. I’ll also buy the land at 10 times the market rate.”

“No, excessive wealth can lead to ruin. The market rate is fine. My family should agree to it.”

Tapping my chest and smiling, I told the priest, who responded humbly.

Hmm, indeed, the priest is admirable. Such a noble spirit. A splendid way of thinking.

“Understood. Then, Ranko-san, please contact my subordinates immediately.”

“Understood. I will contact them right away to expedite the procedure.”

Ranko-san made a call with her smartphone. We wanted to finish this before other nobles could interfere.

“So, is this case closed now?”

I tilted my head with a wry smile, and Grandpa Tobita muttered.

“Beautiful. I’m sorry for the trouble. Miu-chan is indeed exceptional.”

“Dad... I said so, didn’t I? Mii-chan is out of the ordinary.”

“True... By the way, I’m thinking of replacing the shoji screens. Mii-chan, do you want to help?”

“I do! I’ll do it!”

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to replace the shoji screens. Yes! I might poke holes in them with a stick!

Amidst the gentle sound of the enormous Mithril tree that covered the sky, Mii-chan happily jumped and hopped around.

Afterward, we built a massive shrine consisting of multiple buildings, and the priest fainted once again, but Mii-chan healed him properly.

The Mithril tree in this land came to be called Mii-chan’s Tree and was revered as a major tourist attraction. But that’s a story for another time.
