By the time the discussion ended, the sun had completely set.

We climb the ladder and enter the house Serene has prepared for us. It is a small house built on top of a big tree. The rooms are not luxurious, but they have all the basic furniture and seem comfortable. Above all, there is a balcony from which you can step outside and see a magnificent starry sky. Unlike the Imperial Capital, there is no artificial light in Yggdra, so nothing interferes with the brilliance of the stars.

I take a deep breath and fill my lungs with cold, fresh air. Today, I went through a lot of hardship in the Drifting Road of the Divine Tree, and in the end, an oversized bomb that could even lead to the destruction of the world was dropped on me, but looking up at the star-filled sky like this, I am glad I have come this far.

Sytry, who came with me, says with *kirakira* sparkling eyes.

No way, to think I would catch a glimpse of one of the causes of civilizations downfall that was unknown until now in a place like this I thought that a race with a long lifespan might know something about it, but I am so glad we came here, Cry-san! The theory of destruction by the gods suddenly takes on a lot of senses! (Sytry)

Un, un, that's right. (Cry)

Why are you so excited? Even if it is 100 years from now, we might be destroyed

Even so, the manifestation of a god that brings doom, huh? I wonder which one is stronger between it and the Fox God of the Lost Inn I kinda want to know, I kinda don't want to know.

At any rate, I was able to secure a promise to cooperate in lifting Luke's curse. Fortunately, the technique itself doesn't seem to be that complicated, and no advance preparation seems to be required like when we tried to purify Marin's Wails at the "Light Spirit (Korei)" Church.

The question now is what to do about the powerful Phantoms that should have appeared there, but I have no choice but to leave that to Liz and Lucia.

I would have never thought that Yggdra had such a secret I thought that the village chiefs also had a strong faith in YggdraBut it appears that they knew everything and then withheld the information Eliza, did you know about it? (Lapis)

No We, the "Desert Spirit People (Desert Noble)", have only been handed down the mission. I think they were afraid of information leakage. Indeed, it would be troublesome if the truth of the World Tree became known. (Eliza)

Hmph I guess the reason they are revealing all this now is because there is no more reason to keep it a secret. Challenging an unwinnable foe and thinking about what happens after we perishI guess it also serves as to pass on the information, such a selfish thing to do. 100 years Just 100 years, huh? (Lapis)

Nothing can be done in just a 100 years. (Eliza)

After hearing Serene's story, Lapis and Eliza are still discussing in a sullen mood. Nothing can be done in just a 100 years, you say Even I should be able to become a little stronger if I study hard for 100 years. I have never been too aware of it until now, but the difference in sensation between Spirit People and Humans is terrible. If you have 100 years, you can do anything, you know?

There, Tino, who had been checking out the house with a curious look, perhaps due to her nature as a Thief, calls out to me timidly.

But Master~. Leaving aside Luke Onii-sama's disenchantment, is it really possible to do something about the Treasure Shrine that has appeared? (Tino)

No I don't think it is possibleee. At any rate, our goal right now is to cure Luke. The Treasure Shrine is after the secondary and tertiary priority.

However, I can't say that in front of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai). No, eventually I must say it, but now is not the time.

There is still a possibility that Luke, who has been cured of the petrification, could slash the Treasure Shrine and annihilate it.

I don't know if it will work, but I think there are a lot of possibilities, you know. The destruction of the world is at stake, let's do the best we can. (Cry) (f)reewe(b)novel

!! Yes, Master~! Please let me know if there's anything I can do! (Tino)

Then go do something about the Treasure Shrine. (Cry)

!? (Tino)

!? Leader, don't tell Tino to do something so reckless! (Lucia)

Even though it was just a joke, Tino opens her eyes wide, and her body trembles. And there, Lucia, who has been unusually standing there absent-mindedly, intervenes without hesitation.

Thanks for reading! Thanks Fletcher for the Ko-fi! Haha is it possible that Tino will be Cry's trump card this time!? Or maybe Luke's curse was in fact his trial so he can cut space-time continuum and destroy the Treasure Shrine
