Then... by the time the number of branches past exceeded five hundred, there was no more conversation between me and Alec. And the event. Climb silently and rest silently. After a few hours of rest with a physical sensation, I get up without either and start climbing again.
I can't think of anything. I can't think as if it was even fogged in my head. Still, could I climb without stepping off my feet because my body learned to move by climbing so far? I also feel that the time required to go beyond one branch is getting shorter and shorter.
Kamui hasn't even spoken for a long time, not even Ko. Ko, who is always bright and energetic, has white and cloudy eyes. Are you okay with this? Something bad doesn't happen when the Spirit of the earth leaves the earth, does it?
Neither do we. If you're really in Taro Urushima and all your parents, siblings, and friends are dead...... too sad...... you're gonna be okay, right?
No, I don't want to.
Thoughts are negative. You can't do this. We need to keep our minds open...
"Puypuy."
Huh!? Ko, what's wrong?!? What 'd you say?
"Puypuy."
Do you see any signs of people up there? No way, Doctor!? You caught up!?
"Puypuy."
Oh, you don't get that.
"Alec! Ko says he feels signs of people upstairs. Maybe it's Dr. Fernando. Good luck with that!
"Ah... Curse? Doctor?"
Damn, Alec sucks too... but I'm on my way up, so I can't do anything but talk. Let's at least just call him...
"That's right! It's Dr. Fernando! If we had a teacher, we could all climb! I'm sure it'll be fun!
"Well... I guess..."
"Here! I see it already! Good luck with that!
Is it about a hundred mails by sight? It won't take us an hour right now.
Fifty more...
Thirty...
Ten mails......
Here we are, finally!
"Doctor!"
Where! Where's the teacher!
There he is!
Wearing the same holy clothes as us, with green blonde hair... ears, pointy!?
No! I'm not a teacher! The teacher's hair is whiter and brighter blonde!
You must have reacted to my voice. The guy slowly turned his torso toward this way. It's an elf. I don't remember seeing it.
"Hey, Mr. Elf from Fairwell Village? We're climbing from Fairwell Village, too.
No reply. Just look at this one with a tron of eyes.
"I'm a human cars monster. This is Alexandrine. It is the Kamui of the Fenrir wolf to Cornelius, the Spirit of the earth.
I'm supposed to be hearing you, but I haven't heard back. It's not like you won't be able to turn your mouth. He put his torso back in the same direction as if he'd ignored us. Why are you pointing that way?
"We met here because of this. You don't have to ignore me, do you? How long have you been climbing?
I went around to the front and talked to him, but I haven't heard back. What is this guy? You have no love.
"Curse!"
"Hmm? What's up?
Alec's face is blue. You were faceless until just now.
"Down... at this man's feet..."
"Foot?"
This guy's barefoot just like us... hmm?
Hmm? What is this... I can't see the boundaries between the branches and the back of my legs... no way...?
I'll pop it. But my torso just wobbles and I don't move a single step. I try to lift him to pull his leg out but he doesn't move a bit. You're lying... this guy... is integrating with Igdrasil?
There's a saying that roots grow on my legs, but that happens in real life. Is the bud stretching out of the branches into the body rather than saying it is growing out of the legs? Or are you getting taken in to sink into the branches?
It's probably too late for that, but let's just do it. Kamui!
"Gaugau"
Push Kamui's head into the elf's crotch and let him lift it up as it is. Not with my power. But with Kamui's power...
"Gaugau"
Can't you... If you put more effort into it, you'll cut your legs a thousand...
"Hey! You're unconscious!
I'll try to scream in my ear. There is a response to the voice but there is no response. I don't even blink. My eyes are terribly disgusting.
"Hey! Get up! Say your name!
Call out loud as you slap him in the face.
But no...
Damn, we wanted information because we weren't other personnel either. This never happened when I or Alec lay on all those branches. From there I guess there's no problem staying on the spot for a few hours or so...
All right, bad for this guy, but shall we be the experimental bench?
Kamui, do it.
"Gaugau"
Kamui is forced to lift the elf.
Butibuchi...... and makes a disgusting noise, the elf's knee is chopped a thousand times and his body lifts.
It was the right knee that cut a thousand first. The other one remains critical. Still, this guy remains silent. And I've figured it out.
The roots grew from Igdrasil toward the elves. That was even coming to the knee. In other words, it hasn't reached the upper body. From his knees down, he stays firmly on the branch.
So this is what happens when you stay on this branch for a long time. It's a shitty shrine...
