Chapter 264
Year 7446, Month 9, Day 8
Hn?
Zulu and Angela seem to be having trouble with the fallen Mad Treant.
It's only obvious. It's a tree after all. That's right isn't it?
That was thoughtless of me.
It's impossible to cut through it with a knife or sword I'm sure.
"Zenom, Ralpha. Would you help them with taking out the magic stone?"
"Hn? Ah, I guess so."
"Got it."
During that time Miduchi-sensei's lecture continued.
"It's mentioned in a variety of games but Treant are largely split into three categories. The ones that were originally just simple spirits or something close to that. Like the spirit of the tree, speaking in terms of Japan it would be something like Kodama or Tsukumogami and they're often beings that have a good feeling as they try to help you. Next is the type that comes out in Tolkien's famous books and it's a race called the Ent and obviously they're divided based on gender as well. It might have been created based on legends from around the world about the tree spirits I just mentioned. The next one is fine to say it's the same but for some reason that ended up becoming ferocious and in most cases whether it be games or otherwise they come out as opponents and monsters like this."
Ho~ho~ Toris, Bel, Gwine, and Basutoral were all nodding to themselves as they listened.
"This time was the worst third type of them. It was in an underground labyrinth, a dungeon after all. It should be fine to conclude that. But, it's considerably lucky. The lumber material you can get from Treants often have magical properties and if you produce bows or shields from them and..we ended up burning it quite a bit.."
Ah..Do..Don't look at me with those eyes.
I didn't know about it.
Look, everyone other you is making faces like it couldn't be helped right?
In the first place putting aside the equipment of a monster, you wouldn't normally think of making a part of their body into materials right?
If it was fur or a huge fang then it's not as if I wouldn't understand though.
Eh? You've mentioned it before?
Did I hear about something like that?
Ah, I heard about the ingredients and such for the medicine.
Ah, but you know, don't things taste better when burnt?
That's unrelated?
Ah, I see.
Sorry.
