Chapter 345.1: Withering One 2

All I did was to wear the fancy patterned shirt that Cry handed me. The effect it has seems miraculous.

I feel like my field of vision has opened up. The world has changed. My whole body feels lighter, as if I have taken off a heavy armor. No, to be exact, it is not that I am lighter. Maybe this isAll the pressure I felt before is gone.

Perfect Vacation.

According to that human, that shirt is a Relic whose sole purpose is to make its wearer comfortable.

However, the change is too shocking for me.

My worries about the current situation that had always been in the corner of my mind, the stress that had accumulated from dealing with the world crisis without much sleep, all melted away, and it was there that I finally realized how tense I had been lately.

What followed the feeling of comfort that could be described as pleasurable is a strong feeling of sleepiness. It may be that what the Relic provides is comfort and not the effect of eliminating fatigue itself.

If I was the normal me, I would have suppressed those urges and continued working. I must have thought that there was no time to rest in front of the world crisis. However, my thoughts have now changed. Once the pressure is gone, your state of mind will change. My head, which has stopped spinning due to extreme stress, calmly begins to spin.

While I am in a daze, I hear a knock and the door opens. Cry, who enters the room, is amazed when he sees me slumping on a chair.

Oooh, you look quite comfortable. You look like a different person Though I didn't look that different when I first wore it. (Cry)

I was wondering what you were thinking when you gave it to me But now I understand why you gave it to me. (Serene)

It is a Relic worn by humans. I had some conflict about borrowing it, but now I am glad I listened and put it on. The brain does not work properly when you are stressed out. The mind also affects the body. I am sure the irresistible drowsiness is proof that my body is craving sleep.

I don't want to move. I just want to surrender to this peacefulness. I let out a small breath at the sensation I was feeling.

When I wear this Relic Everything seems trivial Even the World Tree's outbursts. (Serene)

Un, un, that's right Eh? (Cry)

Cry looks at me as if he is looking at something strange.

With the help of his Relic, I am freed from all the chains and reach enlightenment.

It is originally presumptuous of us to think we, Spirit People who believe in the flow of nature, live and die together with nature, could stop the World Tree's outbursts that are originally supposed to occur. In the first place, there is no need to feel fear. Since we tried our best and couldn't do anything, we should have resigned ourselves to our fate of destruction. The only thing left for us to do for the next 100 years is to be grateful to the world and live in peace. (Serene)

In the first place, there is nothing a Spirit People can do in front of the laws of the world. Even if we can stop it now, we don't know what will happen next. Miles, the Guardian Spirit of Yggdra, was infected by Mana Materials and went berserk, baring its fangs at me. Maybe that too was God's will.

Then at that moment, I suddenly heard a loud sound from far away. A slight tremor hits the room. Judging from the distance of the sound, it must have been inside Yggdra Apparently, something happened. My superior sensory organs, unique to Spirit People, can detect the presence of powerful Magic being used.

There is no sign that Yggdra's barrier has been activated, but could it be an attack from the enemies?

The forest outside Yggdra has turned into a magical realm after Mana Materials has accumulated, but this is the first time that something has penetrated inside Yggdra.

Yggdra's barrier is created using the power from the earth's veins, just like the Divine Tree Path, and is supposed to keep all external enemies at bay. It would be difficult to slip through it without my knowledge (Even if they were to break through by force)Even if they have the power of a god.

Maybe not expecting an attack at this point in time, Cry is also frequently *kyorokyoro* looking around with a fidgety look on his face.

Apparently An unusual situation has occurred. I can't believe Yggdra's barrier has been breached. I have no idea what happened. (Serene)

There is nothing I can do about it. The reason I have been able to maintain Yggdra until now is because of the help of my companions, and even though I am Yggdra's Princess, I am not a Divine Strategist or anything like that, I am still nothing more than a Spirit People.

Isn't that dangerous But it seems like you have plenty of leeway, right? (Cry)

It is because there is no point in worrying about it now. Although if it was me before I wore these clothes, I would have made a big fuss (Serene)

Now that I am free from all stress, there is nothing that can scare me. I am not even afraid of losing this comfort. As I slide off the chair I am clinging to and fall on the floor, Cry sighs and asks me.

Seriously I never expected it to be this bad. So, what do we do? (Cry)

? What do you mean by what do we do? (Serene)

What do you mean by what do you mean Something happened, right? We need to check what happened. (Cry)

Indeed Indeed, the human in front of me is right. I am Yggdra's Princess and the future of Yggdra rests on my shoulders. It is frustrating to be told this by a human who has been swinging everyone around with his unconventional behavior.

I look at Cry with dull eyes while enduring my sleepiness.

Haaah You are right. I don't think I can do anything about it, but I know, human. You do something about it. I will give you full authority over Yggdra. I entrust you all command rights of the people of Yggdra, its surrounding land, and its magic arts and techniques. This is unprecedented in the long history of Yggdra, you know. (Serene)

!??? (Cry)
