487 451 Stories Demons in Caves

"Father, is that okay? Is it dangerous?

"Pu!"

"Riu!"

"... fu"

At the end of the line of sight are three slimes and moving tree roots.

At first glance, it looks like the roots of moving trees are attacking the Solas, but they're actually playing.

Ciel is also just staring at him playing without being particularly vigilant.

I'm not trying to help, so I'm sure it's okay.

But the tree demon is a bit scary because he has experience of being attacked.

"Ahhh, I'm a tree demon who goes around the cave yes... I've never seen him like that before. What's going on?

"Pu!"

"... fu"

"Riu!"

Finally slipping down or twisting up the roots of moving trees.

I can see you taking the roots that move, being rolled...... enjoying it a lot.

"It is."

You don't even know your father...... well, I think it's okay from how the Solas are doing.

Are you saying that the demons of the trees you attacked and the trees in the cave are of a different kind?

"What's up?

"Before. I've been hit by a tree demon and I've been seriously injured, so just..."

I think it's okay to watch the Solas play, but I can't get close.

"Have you ever been attacked?

"Yeah. I think if it weren't for Sola, she'd be dead"

"So badly injured?

Your father looks at me with a pretty surprised look.

"Yeah. Because that's when I first found out what Sola was capable of"

Since that day, my feelings toward Sola have changed a lot.

Until then, the thought of "I'll die if I don't protect you" was strong.

That's the difference from that day on.

I thought we were going to protect each other.

I think you're protected now.

There's a grin on the warmth of riding on my head with Pong.

"That's right. Different kind of cave tree demon from the tree demon out there?

Well, they're not attacking me, so I guess not.

"We should be together."

Right, together...?

"Are you with me? What? But"

At the end of his gaze, more roots of trees are playing with the Solas earlier.

"More."

"Right. They say there's only one type of tree demon, so the kind of tree demons that attacked Ivy and the kind of tree demons playing with the Solas aren't the same."

"Because I'm in a cave, have I changed or something?

"No, one of the kinds of demons you guard against in a cave is a tree demon. They're famous for coming close without a sound."

To your father's words, the two of us gently check the back.

The two of us laughed bitterly when we gazed at your father who acted the same way.

"You're not here."

You weren't there.

Good.

"Puffy."

"Phew Phew."

Sola and Sol wrapped around the tip of the tree's roots and were thrown poignantly.

When she landed beautifully, she seemed to have fun and immediately approached the tree demon, shuddering and complaining about the pull.

When the roots of the tree noticed it, they wrapped the soras around the tip of the roots of the tree again.

"A good looking after tree demon."

"Right. Oh, there he goes again. If I like it, I can make you do it over and over again, okay?

The tree demon got angry on the way. Wouldn't you?

I knew I was a little anxious, so let's make sure we can move quickly.

"And this cave is amazing. I'm so surprised by the rocks."

At the end of your father's gaze is a special stone in which the magic of guardianship dwells on the jewels.

It is a protective stone that is occasionally found in caves, but there were many where the roots of the trees in this cave were.

It's also a colorful protective stone.

"You have so many different colors. Oh, it's gold. This one is purple. Some colors are mixed."

When I point to the protective stone, your father's gaze follows in turn.

"It's rare to have a mix of colors."

Yes, it is.

"Pu ~"

A little loud Sola's voice.

When I turned my gaze in haste, I was a little unsure if it would be the main body of the tree demon, but the face of the tree demon came out of the cave rock.

"You've never seen the body of a tree demon in a cave before."

Your father is a little wary and puts his hand on the sword's hand.

I get a little nervous watching that.

"............... are you okay"

Sounds like it.

At the end of his gaze, Sola jumps on the body of a tree demon, Flem.

Sol tried to jump on it and hit the branch of the body and rolled to the ground.

"Never seen Sol fail"

"Sure. Sol has the impression that he's going to do everything."

Tame and then somehow feel Sol's presence closer than before.

I'm really happy about that, but at the same time, I got more impressions that it was missing somehow.

Why not?

"Hmm? Are we close?

A tree demon at the end of your father's gaze is coming all the way to us.

From what Sora and the others are doing, I'll make sure it's okay again and again, but I'm still a little scared.

"Gee."

A tree demon that twists and tilts his body small to the right.

…………

For some reason, I feel like I've been greeted, so I try to keep my head down lightly.

Then the tree demon in front of him moves his body up and down.

He looks happy, but every time he moves up and down, the cave pimps and makes a sound, so his back hits.

"Father, the cave doesn't collapse, does it?

Somehow it becomes a polite word.

"Probably, okay"

"Huh?"

Hmm?

There seems to be something I doubt, but I just don't get it.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what you want to tell me."

Somehow the tree demon in front of me looks cute.

That's crazy.

I had a strong impression earlier that I was scared...

"Gyagi."

The tree demon brings one branch right in front of me, so I grabbed it.

"Ah."

I grabbed it because it was something like that, but will it be okay?

When I saw the tree demon in front of me, it was twisted.

"That's funny."

"Yeah. He's looking kind of cute"

"That's not true"

For some reason, your father immediately denied it.

I think it's cute.

The wooden demons that are still twisting.

"Yikes!"

The tree demon, which stops perfectly, stretches out the branches toward the stone and picks the stone from the vacuum and the rock.

And brought it before me and your father.

"Geez."

A colorful protective stone in front of you.

A tree demon that I would have brought a long time ago, like go ahead.

"Uh, sorry, fine."

Don't hesitate, but the gooey branches come closer to your body.

Do you feel like you're never gonna give up until you take this?

"Thanks"

I heard your father thanking you next door.

When I turn my gaze, I get a stone to protect me from the branches.

"Ivy, because of this, I'll take it. There's still room in the magic box."

Oh, I knew you were going to the magic box.

"Thanks"

Take the stone from the branches.

If you look properly at the stones you get, there are also protective stones that are all different colors and mixed with three colors.

We're going to the magic box for sure.

"Yikes! Yikes!

Once the lowered branches, now they come before me with nuts on them.

When I see a tree demon, Jee stares at me all the time.

Is this expected?

"Thanks"

Gently receive the nuts from the branches.

Bring it to the height of your eyes and observe the nuts.

Especially when it comes to regular nuts, it has no characteristics.

"Father, do you know what this is?

"Hmm? No, refreshing"

I look at the nuts with your father.

As I look at it, the nuts roll small in my hand by the way.

"What! What?

I don't know what's going to happen, and I can't take my eyes off the nuts in my hand.

"Yikes!"

The tree demon in front of me is ringing, but I can't turn my gaze.

By the way.

By the way.

By the way.

Pissy.

"Pisces?"

There's a crack in the nuts, and as it grows bigger and bigger, stretch your arms and keep the nuts as far away from you as you can.

Pissy.

Pan.

A cracked nut comes from my palm.

I look softly in my hand.

... child of a tree demon?
