Translator: irow up…&8221;
Every child has had such a thought Adults couldn’t understand the words of children, as the little ones had their oay of looking at the world that was drastically different from the more practical adults
Scary derandmother ould coonfly and the rabbit would continue tomorrow If they secretly shut their eyes, the fairies that lived in their shoes would help the homework, despite the fact that the payetable juice
In the eyes of children, topics such as the end of the world were matters best left for adults The worthiest topics of all were the fact that they had that disgusting celery for lunch today, Mary next door purchased another doll, and that Little Black froain
But children would eventually grow up into adults When they became parents themselves, they would treat the fairy tales they heard about the love between the grasshopper and the ha more than a joke They would toss their fore rooms
Childhoods were typically beautiful, but people were destined to grow up A child’s former treasures stashed away ever so carefully would eventually be treated as nothingup space by the person themselves
Some people, however, were destined to have no childhood at all Amelia Milan was one of them
"I want playmates…&8221;
Her insane personality stemmed from her lonely heart When A but dirty thoughts and endless desires, and that even the other children were nothingprincess closed off her own heart and refused to mature
"I refuse! Refuse, refuse, refuse!&8221;
The young adult-hating girl established thick castle walls around her heart, stubbornly living on in her safe and isolated fortress If anyone insisted on approaching her, poisonous thorns would instantly steal their life away Yes Fro Beauty fro steic was a reflection of the soul A child’s dream would always be the most fantastical—but also the cruelest As the years passed, the young princess turned into a witch and entered human society But her fairytale-like Forest of Dreams, which was Amelia’s Soul World as well as her home, retained her true nature
Under the purest of coincidences, Ado to create her own Divine Miracle, and then all this happened
"I want family…&8221;
Her past stubbornness caused her to detest the overly complex humans Plants, ere much si to open her heart Yet plants lacked intelligence and were far too simple in nature; the lack of ability to communicate wouldn’t help alleviate Amelia’s loneliness that came from the depths of her heart And that was how the wood spirits were born
"Men aren’t trustworthy, and adults aren’t trustworthy, either…&8221;
Her adoptivewas Roland’s fault), were the best explanation And with her natural talent of Communication, the depraved desires ofelse She always felt that it would be better for alloff their fake masks of friendliness and politeness, the jealousy uncovered made Amelia feel all the more uneasy
The only part I never understood was that the witch Airls Yet it was probably because only little girls wouldn’t have any wicked thoughts in her eyes As for little boys? The row up to be a stinky gentleman like Roland, Amelia would impulsively want to feed them to her piranha plant flowers
This Creator was just that willful, but after she gained the power to control this entire die fantasies into reality And so, due to Amelia’s influence, this wood spirit species’ physical appearances turned into little girls like Rosa
The treiants and treants over three thened outer shells under the wood spirits’ control Their true bodies were hidden underneath these treirls… This species, which consisted of only young females, was inconceivable and caused this forest to becoroup of people
When I approached this lake, countless entle voice echoed inof the Creator to her new species Her words’ gentleness and motherliness made people naturally feel warm and comfortable
"Children, my first present to you is the Virtue of Huress and understand your own insufficiencies This will give you the potential to fully grow Children, as part of Humility’s reward, I bless you with the wisdo creatures as well as absorb and imitate other creatures’ special abilities to help yourselves evolve&8221;
Ahout the entire forest With their ained the natural talent ability of high-speed learning
"Children, my second present to you is the Virtue of Charity Only by sharing a sweet fruit will it taste even sweeter And as part of Charity’s reward, I bless you with the ability to mentally cole person will be able to cut off the soul connections you have to each other The forest shall become your most trustworthy ally&8221;
Speech was unnecessary for the wood spirits, as they inherited part of Amelia’s ability of Communication They only needed to mentally communicate with plants and other wood spirits
"Children, irls don’t need to be tainted by adulthood, and pure love doesn’t need to be polluted by physical desires Beautiful love is the sweetest candy of all As part of Purity’s reward, I bless you with the ability to forever maintain the willfulness of youth And if any of you are really cursed by love and decide to leave behind the fruit of pure love, you will be able to reproduce in a unique fashion as descendants of the forest without needing to rely on the boring physical traits of genders&8221;
As for this, I found it impossible to comment on… it was most likely due to Amelia’s distastes In the future, just the studies on hoood spirits reproduced became a major area of research on its own
"Children, my fourth present to you is the Virtue of Kindness You must learn how to understand how difficult it is for others and respect their hard work Blind conflict will only bring about even more troubles, while a calm attitude will help you to become true victors As part of Kindness’s reward, I bless you with the fortune to be undying Not a single person will be able to steal away your souls fro more than a temporary rest&8221;
The battles so far with the undead had already proved this point As long as they ithin this forest, the wood spirits were truly undying
