Chapter Index

    Miya is lying on the floor of the house.

    I left her behind and thought for a moment.

    Thanks to Miya, I was distracted, but in the end, I needed to grow up in order to escape the city’s threats and become safe.

    “I need to grow more quickly.”

    I came to that conclusion.

    Also against the city.

    Even crossing dimensions.

    It is impossible to repent this kind of rulership without growing up.

    Does Shaella have the same thoughts?

    Smirk.

    “That’s right. Then, let’s grow up quickly so we can come up with a solution! I’ll bring you more food when I have time. Of course, Miya will do it.”

    Pat pat!

    He patted me on the back as if to encourage me.

    Seeing that Miya is ordering it, it looks like he has already planned how to use it. Now Shaella won’t have to go around looking for food herself.

    for a moment.

    Why do I take it for granted that I am being fed?

    eww… .

    Adaptation is really scary.

    I feel like I’m being tamed without even realizing it.

    Has Miya changed in this way too?

    I felt it again, but I realized that Shaella’s tolerance was amazing, even though it didn’t seem like it.

    I might understand Miya’s feelings a little.

    “What are you going to do when the ruler comes in?”

    Shaella returned to the main topic.

    We were originally going to discuss what to do with the ruler. However, since you know that the ruler is coming, there is nothing to be afraid of.

    Therefore, I left it to Shaella.

    “I’ll leave it to you.”

    “Huh? What about you?”

    “I will be climbing the tower. Let me know when you catch the ruler.”

    “Now you’re leaving it to me outright?”

    “The idea is to use time efficiently.”

    “Hmph~ Then, is there any compensation? I try so hard for you.”

    “I’m thinking of making a new fruit soon.”

    “That’s good… hmm… … .”

    The guy looked at me and was slightly worried.

    It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he looked a little embarrassed as he slightly avoided eye contact.

    “Why. Is there anything else you want?”

    “Hmm… Now that I look at you, you seem a little stiff. We need to get closer.”

    “Hmm?”

    “So come and hug me.”

    “… … … .”

    Suddenly, I remembered Shaella holding Laferdion in her arms and patting him.

    Is that really what you want?

    To me?… .

    I feel a little dizzy.

    There’s no way I could do that.

    “That’s it~ Looking at your expression, I already got the answer. As expected, you are a plant bastard.”

    “… … … ?”

    “What an honor this is. Tsk.”

    It was a voice full of regret.

    For some reason, it felt like the term “plant baby” had a different meaning.

    Did you really mean what you said?

    Well, I also want to listen to Shaella.

    But for my pride, that is impossible. First of all, we need to remind you of this situation.

    “On the contrary, you can hug me.”

    “Oh… that… .”

    “Look, you’re hesitant too.”

    Now you understand.

    How do I feel?

    Back to the point –

    “Good! Hug me.”

    What?

    The guy confidently agreed.

    I didn’t understand, so I widened my eyes and asked back.

    “What?… .”

    “Come to work and hug me. You said you would do it?”

    Swish!~

    The guy got up from the table and turned around so his back was to me.

    It’s a story that goes far beyond expectations.

    I was planning to let it go by criticizing my shyness… .

    If you think about it, how many times has it already happened?

    Last time, I petted the guy who was leaning in my arms.

    I can’t understand the party’s true intentions.

    “May you know with great honor!”

    “… … … .”

    “Are you going to keep making me wait?”

    The guy turned around and urged me.

    The earlobes looked very slightly red.

    but… .

    I thought I knew.

    As time went by, I became more proactive, so I could no longer pretend not to notice.

    The truth that has been denied until now.

    “Muchan?”

    “… … … .”

    If it continues like this, it will be difficult to get rid of it.

    Okay.

    I approached behind him.

    I awkwardly spread my arms.

    However, without slowing down, I gently wrapped it around his neck.

    “Oof… … .”

    Is it because I didn’t know that he would boldly wrap his neck around like before?

    Shaella seemed slightly stiff.

    This is in contrast to his confident attitude just now.

    Without hesitation, I poked my forehead and lightly hit the back of the guy’s head.

    “Hmph!… .”

    Pale.

    You can’t see from behind, but this is my home.

    A pouting mouth.

    Cheeks turning reddish.

    I can see the guy looking embarrassed.

    At the same time, he held my arm around his neck as if nothing had happened and even opened his mouth.

    “City, the baby plant… You’re bolder than I thought. hmm… Just stay a little longer.”

    Same tone as usual.

    However, unlike before, a slightly trembling voice was noticeable.

    Honestly, I’m not oblivious.

    Rather, it would be superior.

    In other words, you can’t continue to pretend not to notice even if you see something like this.

    Actually, I knew it to some extent.

    maybe… That such an amazing being called a goddess considers me special.

    I just passed it off as a peculiar prank.

    I thought I was unable to properly adapt to this situation and was looking for an escape. I pretended not to notice because if I misunderstand and act arbitrarily, it could only make both parties uncomfortable and unpleasant.

    But as time passed, it was denied.

    The guy kept trying to close the distance.

    The fact that they are held quietly like this, even though they feel shame and humiliation, is proof of that.

    He’s definitely a guy with bigger pride than me.

    That guy bowed first and came.

    It was his effort to get closer.

    He was just clumsy, like a guy without friends.

    “Shaella.”

    “Why? Are you so honored that your respect for me is starting to rise?”

    He tries to speak slyly, but it’s not a tone that matches his reddish face.

    I also slyly accepted.

    “You’re starting to look cute.”

    “Oh… … .”

    Hwareuk.

    The guy’s cheeks were clearly red.

    It looked cute.

    but… .

    Our relationship is special.

    I don’t know what this guy’s true feelings are, but I still have to figure it out.

    “Shaella. I am a plant.”

    “Oh, I understand?”

    “It may be unpleasant, but I will ask in advance. Do you, by any chance, like me?”

    “What?… .”

    He turns his head slightly and barely looks at me.

    Because they are hugging each other from behind, you can also hear the sound of their hearts beating a little faster.

    Soon, Shaella gave an ambiguous answer.

    “The baby plant… … I don’t feel like a plant today.”

    “… Is it positive?”

    “Well, that can’t be possible. Plant topic: I take care of it because I find it annoying that it keeps avoiding my touch.”

    “Really?”

    “Just… I just wanted to get to know you a little bit. Because the subject matter is so expensive.”

    The voice got quieter towards the end.

    For some reason, his voice sounded unsure.

    this… .

    It’s cuter than you think.

    I never would have thought that Shaella would have a side like this.

    “Really?”

    “… … … .”

    “Are you really serious about that?”

    “Stop asking.”

    “Really? The thing that really likes me-”

    “Gyaaa!!!!!!!”

    Pak!!

    Shaella put her strength back and tilted her head back.

    The moment I felt the impact on my forehead, I felt a strong sense of discomfort spreading throughout my body.

    It was like flying at 33600 degrees… … .

    uh.

    no way.

    Kwaaaang!!!

    “Aururrr!!?!-”

    The prediction was correct.

    The moment I realized, my whole body was hitting the thick tree trunk wall of the house.

    Faaa!!-

    Quad deud deuk!!!

    “Kururrr!!… … .”

    Should I say I am fortunate?

    It didn’t rotate 33600 degrees like last time.

    The tree trunk wall, which was much thicker than before, could barely contain me.

    It’s just that the bones of the whole body are broken and falling down.

    “big… … … .”

    Sigh.

    dump.

    Like Miya, I fell to the floor.

    The cause of death was Shaella in both cases.

    “Gasp! Trigram, are you okay!!?!”

    Shaella, embarrassed, came closer and shook her broken-boned body.

    Grumpy.

    Snapping.

    “Big, big!!… … .”

    Cough!!

    I vomited blood.

    “Muchaaan!!?!”

    I think I understand Miya’s feelings.

    I felt like I was going to develop a phobia of Shaella.

    Although it is an alter ego, it does not mean that there is no pain.

    The pain of twisting bones ravages my entire body.

    At this moment, many thoughts flashed through my mind.

    Even if he really likes me, I’m too young to accept it.

    I need to grow more physically.

    If you don’t want to die.

    blast furnace.

    “Shaella… … I think I’m a plant kid.”

    I had to force myself to say these words.

    *

    “Sorry… .”

    “Okay. I should be sorry.”

    Grumpy.

    The joints of the body were aligned.

    The elf’s body was like a pajamas that had not been strengthened much, so the bones were easily broken, but the body was able to heal with only a small amount of nutrients.

    “It was a miracle that I didn’t die.“

    “That… I never did that on purpose.”

    “Yes, yes. I almost died from that one attack, but I guess it wasn’t intentional.”

    “… sorry… … .”

    The situation is very similar to before.

    In the past, Shaella had blown me away out of shame and apologized in this way.

    but.

    “In the past, it was said that it was due to sensory abnormalities, but now why can’t I control my strength?”

    “… I hit you more gently than before… … .”

    Shaella is embarrassed.

    It looks really precious.

    It will be hard to see something like this in the future, so I just teased it a little for now.

    “Shaella. If you don’t like me, just say you don’t like me. Don’t hit me for nothing.”

    “Oh, no!! It’s not because I don’t like it!!… .”

    Absolutely.

    Trembling mouth.

    The guy was speechless.

    I wonder what the eyes look like behind the eye patch.

    This is also a new look.

    When will we ever again see Shaella making excuses like that?

    “It’s not that I don’t like you!… I am… .”

    But that’s it.

    If you try to listen to his sincerity, his levels will reach the max and it could be really dangerous.

    “It’s a joke. I know you don’t mean it. I know how well you think of me.”

    “… … … .”

    Nod.

    and.

    It’s very awkward.

    Is this the Shaella I knew?

    Swish.

    The guy turned his head when he saw my gaze.

    “G, know when the ruler is coming. I’ll take care of it.”

    The guy himself seemed embarrassed and changed the subject.

    I also did not want to put my life in danger again, so I accepted it.

    “The ruler will not attack right away. The Fog Forest is so large, and there is no time limit there either.”

    The topic we were talking about earlier.

    Invasion of rulers.

    Since I plan to leave this job entirely to Shaella, I told her all the information I knew.

    “If the ruler comes here, a guy named Argon will come. There is a horn on the forehead, but I don’t know exactly what race it is.”

    “Good! Leave it to me.”

    The guy returned to his usual Shaella appearance.

    Perhaps because of what had just happened, there was no sign of any condescension.

    Thanks to this, the story went quickly.

    “I don’t know exactly when it will come, but if I tell the Messiah, I will be able to know the approximate time. Until then, I’m resting like usual.“

    “In the meantime, are you going to climb the tower?”

    “Of course.”

    Invasion of rulers.

    You never know when the enemy will come.

    We don’t know what variables may arise.

    Also, the enemy is clearly stronger than Miya.

    Even if captured, she would not be easily brainwashed like Miya.

    So how do we handle it?

    How will the village develop?

    etc.

    We continued talking.

    We often made eye contact while talking.

    However, the grumpy Shaella never appeared, and occasionally there was a shy Shaella.

    For some reason, the conversation dragged on for a long time.

    Because I enjoyed this moment.
