Chapter 515: Counterattack (side: Volk)
“You’re back.”
A short while after Irushia's departure to go fight the Saint, the atlach-nacha has returned safe from her scouting.
“Then, as planned, we’ll withdraw to the mountain to gain some distance.”
I address Aro, the magiatite, lecherta, atlach-nacha, and treant. Aro anxiously looks in the direction of Irushia.
“As regrettable as it is, we are far too weak to fight their main force. We can’t afford to be caught up in that fight.”
I say to persuade her, and we begin to head uphill. The treant takes on its child-sized round doll form… It’s apparently its tree spirit form, but I can't help but find the appearance unsettling.
As we climb, I see Aro stroking the treant’s head, and ask if she finds it cute. “In my forest there were many similar gods, so it feels reassuring”, she responds.
I see, there were many… I had heard that Aro had lived deep in Noah’s Forest, so it might be best if I resolve myself before I head deep in that forest.
As I stare at the treant lost in thought, it comes up to me and presents its head out to me.
