Chapter 1761: Original Blend ?
Since we were just talking about the Spirits, I decided to ask about a part I didn’t understand from my conversation with Jutia-san…… or rather, a part I had forgotten to ask her about.
[Come to think of it, don’t Spirits have a separate true body? How does that work?]
[As is the case with me, almost all Spirits take them into their bodies, like fusing with it…… See, this is my true body.]
[Ohh……]
When Rosemary-san spoke while placing a hand on her chest, Rosemary-san’s body shone and a single rose emerged from within her body. At first glance, it appears to be just a flower, but it unmistakably seems to be Rosemary-san’s actual form, as it exudes an incredibly powerful magic power that is evident at first glance.
[In this case, the size of our true body doesn’t matter. There are some beings like Jutia whose true body is larger than their Spirit body, but they still incorporate it in a similar way within their bodies. Basically, the closer the Spirit body is to the true body, the stronger the power we can exert, so it’s common to keep one’s true body inside the Spirit body.]
[I see…… arehh? However……]
[Unnn. Kaito-kun probably realized it too, but that isn’t the case for Lillywood-sama. Lillywood-sama separates her true body, the World Tree, from her Spirit body.]
Yes, Lillywood-san’s true body, the World Tree, is in the center of Yggfresis. The same goes for Nebula…… No, as for Nebula, she can’t seem to get far away from her World Tree yet, and she may be able to in the future, but at least at the moment, her Spirit body and true body are separate.
[The reason Lillywood-sama does that is simply because she’s very powerful. That’s why Lillywood-sama normally limits her power.]
[I- Is that so?]
[Unnn. Due to her excessively strong power that can negatively affect the surrounding nature, Lillywood-sama intentionally separates her true body from her Spirit body, and she also shares a portion of the immense power of the World Tree with us, the Seven Princesses. We may refer to ourselves as the “Keepers of the World Tree”, but it’s because we are the keepers that we receive a constant supply of magic power from the World Tree. This makes it almost impossible for us to run out of magic, and minor injuries tend to heal on their own without much effort.]
[That’s amazing. I mean, the fact that such incredible power can be granted to at least 7 people shows how extraordinarily amazing her original power must be.]
To put it simply, the Seven Princesses are always buffed with automatic regeneration, and a plus for both physical and magical power. I see, it’s because Lillywood-san shares her power like that that she refers to the Seven Princesses not as subordinates but as “dependents”.
[By fusing with us Seven Princesses who have shared her power, Lillywood-sama can temporarily regain and completely exercise her original power. It’s a state we call the Divine Tree Form…… but unless something really serious occurs, Lillywood-sama will never take on that form.]
[I see, thank you for telling me this.]
[No. Don’t worry about it, I’m glad Kaito-kun is interested in Spirits.]
Rosemary-san, who kindly smiled and said something similar to what Jutia-san said, really is very kind and easy to talk to. I mean, all the Seven Princesses are generally good-natured people. While Blossom-san may have a somewhat intense personality, that’s really just about it…… They’re quite different from the Ten Demons, who have one…… two…… who seem to have nothing but eccentricities.
As I was thinking about this, I saw Rosemary-san looking at me and smiling happily.
[……Rosemary-san?]
[Ah, errr, it really is quite enjoyable talking with Kaito-kun…… It’s rare for me to be able to talk so much with people other than the Seven Princesses or those I’ve known for a long time. Maybe it’s because Kaito-kun has this gentle and warm atmosphere that naturally makes it easier for me to talk to you?]
[Ahh, I guess it’s thanks to Shiro-san’s blessing?]
[No. You’re mistaken, I’m not talking about the magic atmosphere brought about by the World’s Blessing, I’m talking about Kaito-kun’s personality. I could tell this because of my extreme stranger anxiety, but even if people have similar expressions, some are easy to talk to while others are not. I think that has to be something influenced by the atmosphere a person carries……]
[That certainly might be the case.]
It’s difficult to explain the logic behind it, but I can somewhat understand what Rosemary-san was trying to say. Some people are just easy to talk to while others are not. It’s not just about an individual’s personality; I feel like there’s also something like compatibility between people that comes into play.
[That’s why, I’m glad I got to become friends with Kaito-kun……. Ahh, errr…… I- I can…… call you my friend, right?]
[Of course. Rather, it’s me who’s glad I became friends with Rosemary-san.]
[Ehehe, it feels a bit embarrassing, but I’m glad…… Thank you.]
When I smiled back at Rosemary-san, who asked me a little anxiously, she smiled back at me too, and our chat flowed even more smoothly within a truly enjoyable atmosphere.
<Afterword>
? ? ? : [Well, given their power-sharing relationship, unless Lillywood-san brings her true body with her, transforming to the Divine Tree Form = merging with the Seven Princesses. And so, having to temporarily lose seven Peak Count-rank in her units, it might be challenging for them to find the right situation to utilize it.]
Serious-senpai : [She can use it if she brings her true body?]
? ? ? : [It is possible, but considering her true body is too large and the fact that Yggfresis had incorporated a part of the World Tree into the city, deploying it could lead to a major disaster……]
