Veronica asked Yggdrasil sothing that she had been thinking for a while, she wanted to see if she could go down in this avatar form and et the bird-squid people that she had seen with Ervas. These people were very unique as they were not tailor made by the twins but surged naturally from evolution alone, becoming sapient life forms through such a cycle as that.
It wasn't magical evolution either, it was the old-fashioned selection-based evolution that took eons for sothing to actually happen, these animals were shaped through natural selection in a variety of ways until they reached sapience by themselves, and later on as they developed their sapience, these bird people actually found out ways to use magic, awakening ancient mana veins in their bodies, but mages seed rare and high class in their society.
"Going to et them? …I don't know." Said Yggdrasil.
"You don't know?! What?! You're coming yes or yes! There's literally no buts in here!" said Veronica.
"W-What? I won't!" said the tree.
"You're coming. Why are you neglecting them? They're also the children of the twins. You should recognize them." Said Ervas.
"I-It's not that I don't recognize them nor that I don't care about them! I had already approached them through oracles and also told them about the two goddesses…" said Yggdrasil.
"That's not near as enough tough!" said Veronica.
"Ungh, then what do you want to do?! I am just trying to do many things at the sa ti." Sighed the tree.
"Well you're coming with us, and we'll present them to you, that simple, to be honest there's nothing overly complicated over this entire thing, stop being such a cowardly tree for once and do what we say, you're going to enjoy it more than you think!" said Veronica.
"You're very irritating… FINE." Sighed the tree, just to be left alone.
"Now let's go eat sothing I am starving." Said Aurora.
"A nice cafeteria was round here… ah, there!" said Kuro, pointing at the thing she held the closest to her heart, food.
"Well done, Kuro-chan! You always co in clutch." Said Aurora.
"Ngh, I suppose you were not going to do anything bad… I am going away for now, I don't want to waste anymore ti with you." Said Yggdrasil, stopping and trying to go away. She didn't wanted to share a al with everyone and felt it was awkward.
"What? Stay!" said Veronica.
"Just co eat with us." Said Ervas.
"I-I don't wanna! And I will go do my own things, you can't possibly stop no matter what…!" said Yggdrasil.
"Co on! Don't be like that, Ervas wants to eat with you!" said Gaia, the adorable plant girl made Yggdrasil blush.
"Yeah, co with us to eat!" said Aqua, she was also cute and captivated Yggdrasil a bit.
"Don't go! Let's eat together, we'll invite you to a al." Said Violet.
"Yeah, yeah! There's no problem." Said Aura.
"E-Eeh? T-This… I… I don't… I shouldn't… I…" muttered Yggdrasil, however, she was dragged into the cafeteria and forced to sit like anyone else. Despite being able to do this long ago, she never did it for so reason… and now that she was doing it, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
She didn't wanted this! but she was persuaded by cute girls, at the end, she couldn't help but feel overwheld by the thought, and began to grow redder. A handso butler attended the group, as they were served several tasty dishes made out of the delicious ingredients unique of this divine realm.
Everyone was eating and enjoying the delicious als, sandwiches, ice cream, pastries, all sorts of filled baked buns, delicious salads, grilled at, and more… the atmosphere was adorned by the colorful dishes and the good drinks, as the sun shone brightly atop the sky. Despite the perilous future ahead, these people had the shalessness of actually enjoying this through? It almost felt as if they didn't cared about the future, such irresponsibility made Yggdrasil boil in anger.
"Hey, you've not touched your als!" said Aurora.
"I just don't get it… You from all people who ca back to redeem yourselves are just enjoying this leisurely… while the future ahead is so uncertain and filled with danger, you're simply sitting here and enjoying this food? To what purpose? Its all going to end anyways if we all die!" she said angrily.
"What are you even talking about? Of course we know about the future ahead, that doesn't an we have to be bitter over it. also enjoying the present is important, if you don't enjoy life then you'll find yourself lost in what to protect. You'll find it there's no point in protecting and living a life you don't even enjoy properly…" sighed Veronica.
"AH…?!" Yggdrasil was left shocked by such a deep response.
"I agree, you have to enjoy life so it can be worth protecting. Slling the roses as they say, stopping for once, sitting, and appreciating the world around you and the beautiful of it all." Said Ervas.
"…"
Yggdrasil suddenly felt shocked that she hasn't realized such an intrinsic truth. Her whole life since she was born in this world that she had been working hard in protecting it, in putting down the Hivemind, in all of this and more… due to this, she felt that interacting with the people here was aningless and even more aningless for the ones down there in Eden…
Due to that, she grew hollow in the sense of emotions, and couldn't believe nor understand what was so important and special about being friends with people and so on, she couldn't understand what was the point of enjoying a al with people, nor what it ant to just sit down and relax…
She had been working relentlessly and nonstop her entire life, so she didn't knew the aning of taking a break nor "slling the roses"…
"You've worked pretty hard so, why don't you eat sothing with us for once?" asked Veronica, offering so food.
"Here, have so ice cream too!" said Kuro.
"Don't be shy." Said Ervas.
"…"
