Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

“Cai-Nii, Leo-Nii. What’s up? And you’re together, too?”

The two of them appeared at a spot a little distance away from Miu’s house, so I approached them by myself.

Cain was the commander of the Royal Guards, while Leon was the captain of the Royal Order of Chivalry.

Both of them were busy people.

And yet, such busy people even came together to this place, so I couldn’t help but think that something happened.

“Cai-Nii said that a terrible curse is about to spread, so we came here to investigate.”

“Eh”

They’re talking about [Post Death Diffusion Curse], right?

This place is a bit far from the Royal Capital, but it’s still within the range of Extreme Intuition’s effect, huh…

My intuition could only tell that something terrible would occur somewhere.

I could grasp the situation a little better if I could see what’s about to happen for myself.

Compared to that, Cai-Nii’s intuition was somewhat like foretelling the future. What would happen somewhere — it was not something vague like that; instead, it could even grasp accurately that something terrible was about to happen today at this precise village.

“Well, if Halt’s here, then it’s probably solved.”

You could even know to that extent?

Cain’s extreme intuition was way too convenient.

“Yup. We managed to do something about it somehow just a while ago.”

“I see…Then, thanks for saving this kingdom — no, this world.”

“Eh!?”

“Eh…Ah, y-yeah. Yup. You’re welcome.”

“Cai-Nii, world — what do you mean?”

“It’s as I said. If Halt didn’t somehow manage to do something about it, then half of the world could have been wiped out. I think the curse was about to spread.”

“H-Huhhh!?”

Cain’s extreme intuition’s accuracy was way above the amazing level to the point that it was too scary.

“Cai-Nii’s extreme intuition is… way too dope.”

“Hey, aren’t you more amazing, being able to break a curse that my extreme intuition was warning me to be ultra dangerous, and you did that at this speed. By the way, that thing that the girl over there is holding, that’s Yggdrasil, right?”

Cain pointed out the flowerpot that Miu was clutching so preciously a little bit away from us.

“Y-Yggdrasil!?”

“So you can even grasp that. It’s as you said, Cai-Nii. Something happened along the way, and we accidentally grew it.”

“Grew it…”

Leon froze.

“You’re planning to leave it to that tiny girl? Then, want me to make the Kingdom care for it?”

Cain wasn’t someone who would scheme to snatch Yggdrasil from Miu and use it for his own benefit.

I know that, because I’m his younger brother.

Still, let’s explain things a bit, shall we.

“Yggdrasil had to grow to a certain extent or else it wouldn’t have any benefit. A particular , special item is needed to make it grow that big.”

“Heh, so that’s how it is.” (Leon)

“...Halt, you can make that special item, right.”

“EH!?”

Leon had been shocked several times already since coming here. He kept on looking back and forth between Cain and me.

Based on my intuition, Leon would shout “Eh!?” one more time.

“Well, something like that.”

“Then, you decided that it would be a bad idea to let it stay near you since that special item would be arbitrarily created if it’s beside you.”

“Yup.”

That was pretty quick.

“And that’s the reason why I decided to leave it to Miu. Ah, Miu is the girl holding that pot. Even if she and her grandchildren took care of it normally, it wouldn’t grow for a thousand years at all.”

“Yeah, even my extreme intuition tells me so. Still, it’s possible that someone might recognize that it is Yggdrasil.”

Yeah, there’s a chance that might happen.

Even if Sylph masked its aura, Cain still noticed that it is Yggdrasil.

“It’s fine. I bet only Cai-Nii could spot that it’s Yggdrasil.”

“I-Is that so?”

“Yup. See, even Leon’s Eye can’t tell that it’s Yggdrasil, right?”

“Y-Yeah… I can only see it as some ordinary weed growing somewhere.”

Leon’s observing eye that was on par with a cheat skill couldn’t discern that the plant was in fact Yggdrasil.

That was expected.

Yggdrasil’s aura was almost non-existent when it was in the sprout stage.

A mature Yggdrasil diffuses various blessings to its surroundings, but a sapling didn’t have that power.

Besides, Yggdrasil could only thrive in soil where super high-density mana springs such as dragon veins, else it wouldn’t grow.

There was no place like that except for Alheim. Well, my mansion is an exception…

Moreover, the measly amount of aura wrapping had been completely ‘erased’ - by Sylph, who was the very incarnation of Yggdrasil herself.

Unless Miu took it to a land with mana at par with a dragon vein and buried it there, this plant would be nothing more than a very slow growing plant.

“You already solved that dreadful curse, so…let’s go back?”

“Yeah, let’s.”

The two of them prepared to return.

I thought Leon would say “Eh!?” one more time, though…

Ah!

I remembered something.

“There’s a properly grown Yggdrasil in my mansion.”

“EH!?” (Cain and Leon)

Great!

Quota (?) achieved.

“If you need Yggdrasil leaves to make elixirs and stuff, just drop by my place and get it there, okay?”
