[Do we really need a unicorn, World Tree?]

[Go ahead and knead the dough.]

I thought I misheard at first.

But it was clearly Ea’s voice, not Su-unni’s. But Su-unni was definitely sealed.

Yet, after saying that Su-unni had a lot on her plate and leaving for a moment, Ea was gone.

Why am I hearing Ea and Su-unni’s voices in my head?

The story was a scary one.

The unicorn that had just been acting cute suddenly ran away, leaving me puzzled as to why.

At first, I suspected the bear. But when I looked at the bear and saw it urgently shaking its head, I wondered why the unicorn had run away.

[Do we really need a unicorn, World Tree?]

I heard Ea’s voice. And then.

[Go ahead and knead the dough.]

I heard Su-unni’s voice.

I looked around frantically, but there were only animals around me for a walk.

As I pondered, voices echoed in my head again.

[Ea] – Amelie seems really flustered all of a sudden. Could it be that the unicorn is up to something without us knowing…!

“Ea?”

[Ea] – Huh?

“Is that you, Ea?”

[Ea] – Uh, uh?

[World Tree] – Could it be?

“Su-unni? Is that you? Why am I hearing Ea and Su-unni’s voices in my head?”

[Ea] – Amelie, can you hear my voice?

“Ea? Yes, I can hear your voice right now, but why…?”

[World Tree] – This is not a normal situation. Amelie, who has no mana, can hear our voices. Ea, hurry and bring Amelie here.

[Ea] – Understood.

[World Tree] – Amelie, wait there for a moment. It’s not a big problem right now. Don’t worry.

“Um… okay.”

Something passed by in an instant.

It wasn’t chaotic. It felt like a light tea time conversation echoing in my head.

But it was strange to hear Ea and Su-unni’s voices when they weren’t around.

Moreover, I didn’t realize it at first, but now that I heard Ea and Su-unni’s voices again, I noticed something.

Whenever I heard Ea and Su-unni’s voices, the scent of the forest lingered.

It wasn’t a misconception that I was in the forest right now. The scent was real. Ea’s scent was like fresh leaves, while Su-unni’s was like the mist settling in the forest in the early morning after a light rain.

It was fascinating that scents emanated from their voices.

And the scents were perfectly distinguishable.

Since Ea said she would come here, I decided to wait for her.

As I tried to sit down, the bear quickly came behind me and supported my back firmly.

As soon as I sat down, the animals around me gathered around, trying to stick as close to me as possible.

I petted each animal that had gathered around me.

“Squeak.”

Suddenly, another scent wafted in.

Even though my nose wasn’t sensitive, I couldn’t help but notice the sudden change in scent.

A faint scent of dark chocolate lingered.

[Phew… Another day in this area is over.]

I heard Lily’s voice.

But why was her voice suddenly coming through? It wasn’t just hearing her speak.

If that’s the case, I should still be hearing Ea and Su-unni’s voices.

Lily’s voice continued to echo, emanating the scent of dark chocolate.

[Lily] – Now, I need to heal while looking at Amelie.

Listening to Lily’s words, it seemed like whenever I heard a voice, whether it was Ea’s, Su-unni’s, or Lily’s, it was predetermined.

Lily’s words.

Healing as I look at myself. Well, not really, just for a moment.

Come to think of it, Eia and Sunni’s words were a bit strange.

They mentioned something about unicorns. That means they were looking at me.

So, are they seeing my current situation…?

Hmm… There’s only one way to confirm this.

[Lily] – Ah… Amelia is so cute. How can she be so cute, pretty, and lovely?

Lily’s voice, expressing how she finds solace in me, filled with love.

I subtly lifted my dress.

The small dress quickly rode up my thigh. As it reached my panties.

[Lily] – Ah… Ah… Ah… Amelia…

Lily’s voice, filled with excitement. The scent of dark chocolate growing stronger. I could feel how excited Lily was.

With this, it was revealed that Lily, Eia, and Sunni were all watching me.

“Lily.”

[Lily] – Amelia is calling my name. Is she thinking of me! Ah… Hoo…

Seems like she’s seriously mistaken.

-Swish. Swish.

It seems that not only Lily’s voice but also the sounds around her can be heard by anyone, as the sound of clothes being removed is audible.

[Lily] – Amelia, your panties are so provocative. Hoo… Hoo… Just once, just once, and then I have to quickly clean up and go inside.

“Lily!”

[Lily] – Ah. Amelia keeps calling my name.

“Lily, snap out of it.”

[Lily] – Snap out of it? Wha…?

“Lily, can you hear my voice?”

[Lily] – Huh? Um? Eh?

“Lily, stop doing weird things and finish quickly and come back.”

[Lily] – Eeeeeh!? Wha…? Amelia, can you hear my voice?

Oh. I burst into laughter at Lily’s astonished scream, which I had never heard before. She always claimed to be an adult with a serious expression, but she’s still a child.

Lily’s cute and flustered voice. If Lily were in front of me right now, I would want to pat her head vigorously.

“Yes. I can hear you well, Lily.”

[Lily] – H-how can you hear me?

“I don’t really know either. I just heard Eia and Sunni’s voices a while ago. Oh, that’s why Eia said she’s coming to get me.”

[Lily] – This has never happened before, what’s going on? Ah.

“It has never happened before…?”

Until now… In other words, does it mean that someone has been constantly watching me?

When did they start watching me continuously? Of course, I’m in so much pain and on the brink of death that it’s understandable to worry.

But is it necessary now?

[Lily] – No, no, Eia said she’s coming first, right? I’ll go quickly for now.

At Lily’s urgent attempt to end the conversation, I nodded my head.

“Come quickly. I’m bored.”

[Lily] – Uh, okay.

As soon as the conversation with Lily ended, I felt a signal from afar, and the animals raised their heads.

Naturally, in this forest, the only person I know other than me is Eia, who has come to find me.

Eia, who had grown taller than me, was running towards me in a maid’s outfit.

Approaching me, Eia quickly bowed and greeted me, then put her hand under my armpit, lifted me up, and ran off again.

I waved to the animals looking at me.

==

After arriving at Sunni’s body.

Eia took me to my room and laid me on the bed. Then, closing her eyes and concentrating.

The scent I had smelled from Sunni’s voice earlier began to spread, and cute vines slowly emerged and approached me.

The vines gently touched my body as if conducting a check-up.

So I was getting treated by Su Unni’s vines, and this time, a pleasant woody scent started wafting through the air, followed by Helena’s voice.

[Helena] – Amelia is sick? What do you mean by that? Oh no, why is our mom in pain? Hey, say something! Why is mom getting treated right now?

Her voice sounded like a young child who couldn’t bear to see their parents in pain, like a distressed puppy. I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

I seem to be laughing a lot today.

Su Unni looked embarrassed and turned her head away, covering her mouth to speak so I couldn’t hear.

But

[Sua] – Helena, Amelia can currently hear our communication.

[Helena] – What do you mean? Mom is what? Our communication? Wait, really?

[Sua] – Yes. Amelia can hear this conversation we’re having right now.

[Helena] – Oh.

After Helena’s terminal, the woody scent disappeared.

Helena seemed to have run away. Even though Helena used to tease me a lot, she never went this far.

Maybe she ran away out of embarrassment.

Come to think of it, I haven’t spent much time alone with Helena lately.

Next time she comes, I should spend some time with her. It’s been a while since we had some quality time together, so I should indulge her antics a bit.

During my treatment with Sua and E, even the Saint came to visit.

Sua said it was nothing, but with the Saint suddenly showing up, it started to feel a bit eerie.

It’s probably nothing, right? It’s just voices I’m hearing.
