Chapter 21 - A Strange Girl Was There

A Strange Girl Was There

‘Here! Here!’

One of the slis led the way through the mountain.

It was a complicated path that was hard to see.

When we finally arrived, there was what looked like a cave under the roots of a tree that was surrounded by plants.

I didn’t think that I would have been able to find it without a guide.

And there was-a girl inside.

She appeared to be about fifteen.

She looked delicate and pretty, but...her face seed very sickly.

Not only that, but there was sothing about her that did not seem quite human.

Even her clothes did not look like they were manmade.

What if she was a monster that was in the shape of a human?

‘Miss Dryad? Are you alive?’

‘Yes...sohow...’

The girl replied weakly to the sli’s voice.

It wasn’t the voice of a human, but as I was still using ‘Monster Mutal Understanding’, I could understand what she was saying.

So it wasn’t just . Her face really did look sickly.

‘Still, it’s rare for you to co here. Did sothing happen?’

‘Yes. I brought soone who might help you!’

‘It’s Yuji!’

The slis said as they looked at .

They wanted to go in.

And so I stepped into the cave where the girl was.

‘Eee...it’s a human!?’

She looked at with horror and recoiled.

It seed that she feared humans.

‘But this one isn’t scary! He’s a nice person.’

‘He’s very strong and protects us.’

‘And he can understand us!’

The slis tried to persuade the scared girl.

I...decided that it was best to stay quiet.

And so I did for the next few minutes.

‘Uhhh...mister human? Are you going to help ?’

She asked hesitantly.

I guess she finally stopped seeing as a scary person.

“Uh...well, I don’t really know what’s happening...”

I had just co here to gather Dria flowers.

So even if soone asked for help, I didn’t know what to do.

As I was thinking this, the sli started to talk to .

‘So bad people left sothing strange in the forest, and now the forest is sick. Dryad is a fairy of the forest, and so she lost her magic and is weak...’

The girl nodded at the sli’s words.

...I see.

This girl(called a Dryad), was a forest fairy.

I had been looking at the ground the whole ti in search of the flowers, but now that I think about it...yes, the trees did seem kind of unwell.

“In other words, you want to break or remove this ‘strange’ thing? Also, if you could regain your magic sohow...”

After saying this, I looked through the magic I had acquired.

And then I found sothing called ‘Energy Transfer’ that sounded like it was exactly what I was looking for.

It seed like it would allow to send magic energy to soone I was touching.

Still, that might frighten her if I did it directly.

“Hey, could you touch the Dryad for a second.”

‘Okay.’

One of the slis touched her.

And then I activated the magic.

‘Magic Transfer-Energy Transfer.’

Just as the magic activated, the magic energy in my status started to decrease.

After so ti, my energy dropped to about half and then stopped.

Then the Dryad tilted her head.

‘I, I feel lighter now...Mister Human, you said energy transfer...did you an...’

“Yeah. They said you didn’t have enough energy, so I used the sli to send you so. ...Do you feel better now?”

‘Yes! Thank you!’

Dryad said with a laugh.

So it did go well.

“Alright, I’m going to go to this place where ‘the bad people left sothing.’ I’m assuming sothing has to be done about it?”

‘Yes?’

And then the Dryad rushed passed and left the cave.

It seed that she was less cautious after the ‘Energy Transfer.’

After that, I arrived at a corner of the forest where the damage was especially bad.

No, it wasn’t exactly a forest.

This was because all of the trees and plants in the area had died, and it was a wasteland.

In the center-was sothing that looked like a big, black magic stone.

So I just had to throw it away sowhere or destroy it.

That’s what I thought as I walked up to it and picked it up.

‘Ah, wait!’

“Hmm?”

The Dryad called out just as I picked it up.

...Was there a problem?

As I wondered this...the Dryad looked at the magic stone I was holding and then muttered in confusion.

‘Wh-why are you able to touch it...?’
