Episode 241: Star Tree (9)

Lilia, who had not been very clear about her training because she was afraid Galen might worry, started talking about it because Galen had nothing more to worry about. In other words, the training was already over.

“It’s only been two weeks? If it’s not enough, I can do more… No, it won’t hurt.”

“I told you it doesn’t hurt anymore, right? I’ve done enough!”

“Well, that’s fortunate.”

“It’s not a training method to improve technical perfection. What should I say? You just have to get used to the situation where the amount of information that you can perceive with your senses keeps increasing?”

“Easier said than done… … .”

To use an exercise analogy, it’s like practicing lifting a weight that’s too heavy for you to handle without dying and continuing to hold on. After that, regular strength training and such became uninteresting.

Of course, if that had actually happened, her body would have been ruined, but thanks to Archbishop Lilia’s miracle, she was able to avoid the aftereffects by protecting herself.

Although she only avoided the aftereffects, it was obvious how painful the process of holding on must have been, but Lilia was brave. Her personality was uncompromising when it came to training, and it was hard to put a finger on it. Galen just smiled bitterly.

“… Anyway, does that mean I won’t have to look at the star tree anymore?”

“yes!”

“Then I think it’s about time to go back.”

From the moment Galen was able to open and close the Star Tree warehouse on his own, his business with the Star Tree was already over. It was all because of Lilia.

The two informed the sky fairies that they were leaving.

“I see. Is it time to go?”

The reaction was as expected. It was a well-planned separation, since it was natural that humans could not live among fairies for their entire lives.

The farewell party held that evening… I called it that, but since I was eating so well on a regular basis, I just ate well as usual.

The next morning, Padin, Shamita, and Shilpa came out of the city walls to see them off.

“I can’t say it enough, but thank you so much. Take care.”

“Yes. I’ll come by sometimes to give Star Tree food.”

“Even if that’s not the case, you are always welcome. Galen and Lilia, you are eternal guests of the Sky Elves.”

Padin, who spoke with emphasis, passed the turn to Shamita. Shamita took a step forward and stretched out both her hands.

A little magic was applied to the star-wood key hidden under her clothes, and the storage room opened. A fairly large wooden box, a little too unbalanced to hold in one hand, popped out.

“Galen, you seem to like tea.”

“Oh, yes.”

Unfortunately, there was no coffee in this world, and instead, tea culture was widespread.

After living in that world for over twenty years, Galen no longer remembered the taste of coffee and was completely used to tea.

I developed a habit of drinking tea as often as I would drink an Americano after a meal, so I always carried tea leaves, teacups, and a teapot in my travel bag, where I usually try to minimize unnecessary luggage.

“The leaves of the star tree, with a little processing, become the best tea leaves.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“You know, we don’t touch the star tree first. When we need wood, we only use the branches that the star tree gives us.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The same goes for the leaves. Of course, the leaves have been falling in the winter for decades, but the leaves that have fallen like that are of no value except as fertilizer. Only the leaves that were on the branches that the star tree gave itself were the proper ones.”

“The quantity can’t be that large?”

“It’s not abundant. But this time, the star tree has dropped quite a few branches with new shoots.”

“Is it better if it’s a new shoot?”

“You can think of it as the ultimate. This is processed new shoots.”

“yes?”

“It is rare for so many new shoots to fall. Shouldn’t you think of it as a gift from the Star Tree to you? Don’t refuse it and take it.”

Padindo and Silpa nodded, showing that it was only natural that they should give it to him. Galen scratched his head.

“If that’s the case… I will gratefully accept it. Thank you for giving me such a precious gift.”

“It’s nothing compared to what you gave me. I hope you like it.”

Since he was holding the starwood staff in his right hand, Galen received the box with his left hand, feeling somewhat uneasy, and quickly opened the starwood storage.

Although he didn’t actually use magic, it felt as if he was wrapped in magic, and Galen’s will enveloped the box. In the blink of an eye, the box disappeared without a trace.

Finally, Shilpa said goodbye. As expected of someone who is very expressive, unlike the calm Padin and Shamita, her expression was clearly one of regret.

“It would be nice if you could stay longer. Well, I guess you guys have your own circumstances.”

“I don’t really care, but Lilia is a bit perceptive.”

“Is there anyone who can see what’s going on? Didn’t you say it was the Archbishop?”

“Because he’s an archbishop. He’s not supposed to be playing around like this.”

“No, I’m not playing! I’m on a pilgrimage!”

Lilia’s rebuttal was not very convincing. Considering the workload of other archbishops in charge of the archdiocese, it was only natural that they would be playing around.

The church recognized her genius and set her free to gain more experience, but she was destined to be dragged to a desk someday.

“Anyway, like I said, I’ll come visit you sometimes… or you can come find us.”

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“What’s not possible? Is it possible for fairies to travel to the human world?”

“Have you forgotten where we first met?”

Shamita grumbled. We met in Tamaka, a city perfectly on the human side, at the entrance to the plateau, not at the border between humans and sky fairies.

“It’s just that the leaders of the General Assembly couldn’t carelessly go far away because the situation was tense with humans and the Star Tree was sick. Now that everything has been resolved, it doesn’t matter. In particular, since Silpa is young and lacks experience, it’s recommended that he go on a few trips. However, it would be difficult if he wanders around for decades.”

“If it’s to that extent, it’s difficult for us too… … .”

Who would call me a long-lived fairy? If you wander for decades, is that considered a journey?

“You can come by yourself, but you can also come via the church! If you tell the bishops of the dioceses in the border areas… the diocese of Kirin or Elfeid that you want to meet me, they will be able to rent a carriage as a guest of the church!”

“Really? Thanks. I’ll remember that.”

Silpa smiled at Lilia’s words. She looked back at Galen.

“I can’t honestly say that I’ll be stronger the next time we meet. No matter how much I think about it, I think you’ll grow stronger faster than I will.”

“I don’t know. You’ve never really fought with me before.”

“I can get an estimate even without trying. If you were to use only one magic spell, then I don’t know, but when you use them all properly, do you think you’ll lose?”

How could he lose? But even if he said he won, it would be presumptuous, so Galen just smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, Silpa didn’t look upset at all.

“It’s okay. Thanks to you, I can use this as a milestone. Please continue to be strong in the future. Keep chasing after it.”

“I will try.”

At least I’m glad he didn’t get jealous or anything because I was strong, Galen answered with a smile.

The greetings ended there.

“Lilia, this way.”

“yes!”

Galen gently pulled Lilia’s shoulder with his left arm and hugged her.

Normally, it would have been nearly impossible, since both of them were carrying large travel backpacks, but all of their luggage was stored in the Star Tree storage room, so there was nothing in the way. Except for a few thick coats.

Saaaaaaaa―

Then, Galen’s nine attribute magic powers were sucked into the starwood staff in his right hand. A five-colored light appeared from the head of the staff.

[Storm: Convection: Control]

[Ho-pung-hwan-woo]

The fusion magic is transformed into storm magic. A pair of wings made of wind sprout, one from Galen’s back and one from Lilia’s back.

“Then we will go now.”

“See you next time, everyone!”

“Goodbye, you two!”

Immediately after saying goodbye, the wings of the wind-blown dragon flapped. Galen and Lilia’s bodies floated into the air.

The bodies of the two people who waved their hands downwards one last time slid backwards.

Anyway, the wings of the Ho-pung-hwan-woo were not real wings, but rather something like a controller to control the wind. It didn’t matter if he flew backwards.

Shhhhhhhhh!

The three sky fairies on the ground instantly turned into black dots, and the high castle walls quickly disappeared into the distance.

Only the towering giant star tree slowly grows smaller, as if ignoring the laws of perspective.

The two people admired the scenery in silence, as if they had made a promise.

No matter how tall a tree may be, it is not a mountain that can remain forever. Soon, Galen could no longer distinguish the star tree’s outline.

“It was a fun experience.”

“Right?”

Galen turned around as he finally finished the work of the Sky Fairy. Since he was holding her by the shoulder, Lilia’s body naturally turned around as well. Now, the direction he was flying and the direction he was looking were the same.

“Is it okay if I practice magic like this?”

“Of course! This is the magic of the Typhon family, isn’t it?”

“That’s right. I guess it’s because I only learned it recently, so I haven’t actually used it that much.”

Since storm magic was a jewel, its subcategory, Ho-pung-hwan-woo, was also at jewel level, and the corresponding knowledge was automatically entered into the status window in my head.

I actually rarely used it. It wasn’t even a month since I acquired it, so I didn’t have enough time physically, and it was much easier to just leave normal flying to Procella. It was natural, since the difference between manual and automatic hunting was as big as that.

So, the plan was to practice magic itself, and at the same time gain experience in all magic using fusion magic. After all, a little goes a long way.

“It might be a little inconvenient, but please understand. This is a magic that is originally used alone with wings, so if two people use it together, it’s a bit… After some practice, I’ll change it into a spirit.”

“Is this good too?”

Lilia smiled bashfully and leaned close to Galen.

“The spirit is so comfortable that it feels like it’s stretching, but this is a little unstable, so I have to hold on to my brother tightly.”

“I need to drive carefully.”

Both knew that the words were playful, but not dangerous at all. The only difference was that the spirit’s touch was delicate, and the wind and rain were somewhat rough, but the stability of the flight was similar. The weight of two people was nothing to Galen.

“But, brother?”

“yes?”

“If you use fusion magic, the magic power consumed by a single magic power will be reduced by that amount, right?”

“Is that so? Since the nine magical powers are mixed, it will be reduced to a matter of distinction.”

“Then, if you just keep using wind magic or wind spirit magic, you can last a really long time?”

“As long as you don’t get tired. Well, with that in mind, it might be better to create a wind spirit and leave it to it for a limited time for long-distance flights.”

The wind of the windmill requires magical power and the wind to be controlled individually. Even if you make a wing-shaped controller, it doesn’t mean that you can move it automatically by just pressing the arrow keys like in a game.

On the other hand, if you create a temporary spirit, it will do everything for you. It takes some effort because it continuously consumes magic power, but it is nothing compared to calculating the magic yourself.

“There’s also a star crumb bracelet, you can store magic power in the star tree warehouse, and you can also swap with Unicana Procella?”

“Yes.”

“Then you could really fly around the world!”

“Well, maybe it could be possible?”

If you take an airplane, you can go around the world in no time. Of course, Galen is not as fast as an airplane, but the distance traveled by horse or carriage in a day is overwhelmingly worse than that of a car. If you compare, isn’t it similar?

“Then how many days will it take to get to the Vatican?”

“Hey, before we leave the Northwest, we should stop by Archbishop Ernst.”

Lilia said with a bright smile.

“And if it’s not urgent, you don’t necessarily have to fly, right? It doesn’t really feel like traveling.”

“That’s true. Then, how many days should we go on like this? Until spring comes.”

“yes!”

Galen, having determined the position of the sun, adjusted his direction slightly further, towards the southeast, slightly more towards the east.

Late winter was drawing to a close.
