The members are talking and chatting over there. But after chatting for a while, everyone should do what they should do.

Carry the cream upstairs and lay it down in his room for him to rest. Except for Margaux three times a day, the other members of the group had nothing to do, so naturally they didn't talk about it anymore.

However, just because the members don't care doesn't mean that all the lives in this guild don't care about it.

That night, after Iroh breathed a sigh of relief, waited until all the guild members had washed up and gone upstairs to rest, and he himself had taken a shower and returned to his room, ready to close the door......

Squeak –

The door was pushed open.

Napa's face had already come in through the crack in the door.

Arrow turned his head and looked at the serious-looking cat, and couldn't help but smile. Without much explanation, he pulled the door open, let Napa in, closed the door with his backhand, and locked it. It was only after all this that he took off his hat and loosened his muddy hair, which was so tightly wrapped.

The cat monster didn't say a word.

It just silently stared at the human, looking at the color in the girl's eyes.

The girl didn't pay much attention, she still had that smile on her lips, combing her hair in front of the mirror, taking off her dirty coat, and changing into pajamas, so that she could relax a little more in the evening.

After a long time, the cat monster saw that the girl never said a word. After thinking about it, it suddenly turned its head, and with a slightly helpless expression, it floated towards the door.

"Hey, don't you ask me? I thought you'd have a lot of questions. ”

The girl said with a smile as she combed her hair with a comb.

Napa raised her paw and gently rested it on the door: "I said I believed you, since I believe you, you don't want to say it, then I don't need to ask anything." ”

This surprised the girl a little, and she quickly got up, walked over and took the cat in her arms, turned around and sat on the bed, and gently rubbed its comfortable hair.

"Oh, who's with whom between us! To others, I was able to hide. But what can I hide from you? Isn't that right, my lovely vice president~~~? ”

Napa, who was held in the girl's arms, looked a little uncomfortable, stretched out her paws and struggled. But after a few movements, it continued to let the girl hold her, and she combed the hair on the back of her head. After a while, his ears slowly pressed down, and his eyes narrowed, revealing an expression of great enjoyment: "Don't...... Always use this set against me! I'm not...... Your pet...... Ah~~~ It's there~~~ It's a little comfortable~~~"

The girl smiled and continued to help it scratch.

"What the hell is that thing in the forest? Is it really the Tree of Life? ”

While scratching, Arrow asked.

Napa lay in the girl's arms, squinted comfortably, exhaled and said, "What kind of tree of life, that's just what you ignorant humans call it because of your blindness~~~ In essence, that guy is just a tree that is too old~~"

The girl smiled and stretched out her hand to help Napa's stomach start to knead as well: "Then can you feel the power in my body?" What is the so-called dark nature power, and the power of the fruit it gave me to eat......"

"What fruit is the power?"

But just when the girl thought that she should be able to talk to Napa about her condition, the cat seemed to think of something suddenly, and instantly got out of her arms.

The appearance of snuggling just now disappeared in an instant. Instead, the cat's piercing eyes swept up and down at Ero.

After observing for a while, the cat flew around the girl, and then slowly stopped in front of her, and said with a little solemn breath: "I...... I can't even feel your thoughts anymore...... What the hell have you been done to that old foolish tree? Why can't I hear your voice anymore? ”

Napa's mood looked a little terrible, and the girl thought about it, but she told the cat everything that happened in the misty forest.

When he heard that the tree had produced a fruit for the girl to eat, the cat's face immediately showed a look of great disappointment. Its ears and tail drooped in an instant, as if it had lost a very important pleasure.

"That's right...... In that case, my magic is covered by the old immortal......"

Seeing how depressed Napa was now, the girl suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Anyway, the spiritual connection for so long before made the girl more or less attached to this connection. Now all of a sudden, tell her that the link is broken......

(That's just amazing!) ）

The girl's heart immediately let go of herself at this moment and cheered loudly! However, the expression on her face did not change in the slightest, and she still maintained that very surprised expression.

After a while, the cat's expression did not change, and the girl confirmed that her spiritual connection with it was really broken. At that moment, the joy in my heart rose again!

"So...... Can you give me another stamp, so that I can continue to talk to you in my heart? ”

The girl showed a very worried expression, stretched out her hand, and gently hugged the cat in front of her.

Seeing the girl's regretful face, the cat also showed a little helplessness, nodded lightly, and said, "Hmm...... Hard...... To do that, I need to restore my mana to a state where I can suppress the tree...... But in my current state, it's not enough......"

The girl opened her arms and hugged the kitten again. She lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling in front of her, which she had seen many times, and said slowly, "Napa, that tree calls you 'old friend'. Between you and it...... Acquaintance? What is the relationship between you? ”

“…………”

"In your eyes, it's just a tree that has lived too long. But in the eyes of humans in the past, it was the tree of life, right? If you can bear the title of 'life', you can imagine that it must have been very important in our human minds before, right? ”

“…………”

"It also says that the power of the dark nature is very similar to the previous demons. Demons? Is there a war between humans and demons? What's that? It sounds complicated, but what's going on? ”

The blonde girl asked a lot of questions.

In a tone like a girlfriend chatting, I inadvertently asked these questions with a little tentativeness.

"These are all things you don't need to know."

However, the cat broke free from her arms again at the last moment and slowly flew into the air.

Napa, in mid-air, turned around and looked down condescendingly at the blonde girl who was now lying on the bed. There was a slight contradiction and entanglement in its sapphire eyes, as if it was considering some kind of difficult decision.

Although the connection between the two parties has been broken now, the girl can still vaguely feel the tangled in the cat's eyes......

What is it struggling with?

"Demons, the Tree of Life, the previous wars, the power of a dark nature...... None of these things are something that a mortal like you needs to think about. ”

Napa turned her head and floated slowly in the direction of the gate—

"You should understand...... No, you should understand it yourself. These things are simply not something that a human girl like you can understand or seek. In this world, in addition to the knowledge of magic, there is a lot of knowledge. But not all knowledge is about knowing as much as possible...... For you, the more you don't understand this knowledge, the happier you will be able to live your life. ”

The girl was a little surprised by this, and she got up from the bed, but Napa opened the deadbolt first, pulled it open and flew out. At the last moment before closing the door, the cat simply left a message: "Good night." And then...... Forget about today. ”

There was a soft thud and the door shut.

The girl in the room sat silently on the bed, with a slightly surprised expression, witnessing the whole process.

And a moment later......

The corners of her mouth raised a smile again.

Get up, plug the deadbolt again, turn off the lights, and go back to bed to pull the futon again.

How could the encounter of today's whole day make this girl forget so easily?

She needs to think, she needs to be able to rehash what is in her mind completely.

First of all, there is the power of the so-called "dark nature".

What does this power really represent?

If this power has been present in herself and Cream for a long time, then why hasn't Napa ever said it before?

In other words, there are two possibilities.

One possibility is that Napa's current strength is too low to perceive this dark force.

Another possibility is that the cat knew about it, but deliberately didn't tell himself and Cream, and didn't think about solving the problem at all.

Then according to the second possibility, another problem is extended.

Is the so-called "dark power" really as dangerous as the tree says? Or is it just a separate judgment based on the tree's own preferences?

If it's a matter of the tree's own preference, then there's nothing wrong with Napa letting it go. But what if this force is indeed dangerous?

Well...... As it turned out, the chances of the tree lying or talking nonsense just to its liking were slim.

The reason is that it is cheap.
