Chapter 9 : The Great Tree’s Secret

Deep inside the fog, Hajime and his party advanced toward the Great Tree They left the fighting to Kam, while the other Hauliafor ene Because the fact that unpreparedness is one’s greatest foe already is carved into their flesh, all members wore serious expressions Most of all, the blue bruises on their bodies ~"

Shia hining while rubbing her butt Since before, she looked at Haji atwas too irl’s butt Moreover, using that useless high skill-"

"That can also be said to you You seriously thought to hit my head and use another person as a shield to run away… … that was not so a normal person would do"

Near them, a man from the Haulia tribe nodded his head

"Uu, it was the result of education by Yue-san…"

"… … I was the one that raised Shia"

"… … I can’t co that, Yue looked at Hajiaze h skill"

After they advanced for 15harmoniously, their party finally arrived at the Great Tree

Hajime’s first opinion when he looked at the Great Tree was,

"… … the heck this is"

, while half-surprised and half-doubting Yue also wore the slight expression of so The two of theer version of the trees in Faea Belgaen

However, the real Great Tree was… … splendidly withered

Its size was not that far off froination Its diameter alone could be estimated around 50 meters There is also the bizarre difference fro trees had the ever expanding green leaves, only the Great Tree ithered

"The Great Tree was already withered even before the founding of Faea Belgaen However, it didn’t rot Ever the never changing withered tree With the surrounding fog’s nature and the forever-withered-without-rotting Great Tree, this place becah it could be called a tourist spot…"

Ka faces While hearing the explanation, Hajime looked around the Great Tree’s roots Just as Alfrerick had said, there was a lithograph built

"This is… … just like Orcus’ door’s…"

"… … Nn, the saraph there were seven systeraved on top of it It was completely the same as the one on Orcus’ roo The pattern on the ring was coraph after all

"It was the entrance to the Great Dungeon after all… but… … what should we do about this?"

Hajime approached the Great Tree and started to ‘thud thud’ hit it and of course there was no change, when he tried to ask Ka about this tree, they only had No as an answer Although he already heard all of the traditions fro the entrance There was a possibility that he hid it so Hajime started to think, "Should I collect the debt?",

At that tiraph raised her voice

"Haji there?"

What Yue noticed was on the other side of the lithograph There were empty dents that corresponded with the seven crests on the other side

"This is…"

Haji in his hand to the dent that he saw corresponded to Orcus’ crest

Then… … the lithograph began to faintly shine

Wondering what happened, the surrounding Haulia tribe that were on lookout began to gather For a while, they looked at the shining lithograph which lights gradually faded and so ritten there

Four proofs

Power of Rebirth

Guidepost of Spun Bond

A new trial will be opened to the one who has those proof

"… … What does itto the other Dungeons’ proofs?"

"… … Then, what does the Power of Rebirth and Guidepost of Spun Bond mean?"

Shia answered to Hajime who puzzled over it

"U~n, Guidepost of Spun Bond, wasn’t that it? Whether you got deuides or not Only demi-humans are able to ain the de exception"

"… … I see It was soeneration… … Me?"

Yue pointed at herself ns the special ave a cut to her finger to activate "Auto Regeneration" while e at all

"Muu… … it looks like that rong"

"… … nn~, to the withered tree… … Power of Rebirth… … along with four proofs… … it’s possible that the four proofs eons, then werebirth, was it so whether they ave a consenting face

"Haa~, dah it was troublesoo to the other dungeons…"

"Nn…"

Haji coretted it However, because they couldn’t enter the Great Dungeon now, although it worried theet to obtaining three athered the Haulia tribe

"As you’ve heard, we are aieons now The prouide us to the Great Tree is over now If it’s the current you, even without Faea Belgaen’s protection, you’ll be able to survive inside the Sea of Trees That ood bye"

Then, he took a peek at Shia His eyes asked her if she wanted to leave behind some words, and Shia understood perfectly that noas the tih she’ll be back, conquering three of the Great Dungeons would takethat time

Shia nodded, then took a step forward to talk to Ka to say!" … … huuh, father? This isShia ‘Bishi’, then stood at attention On his side, "Father? Wait, father?", Shia’s words could be heard and as if he was a British guardsht

"A~, what is it?"

For the tinored, while Haji her, started to tell the consensus fro!"

"Eh! Everyone also wanted to go with Hajime-san!?"

Shia was surprised at Kao, what happened with thatme off!?, were the words she said

"We are Haulia but at the same time not Haulia! We are Boss’s subordinates! By all ! This is our tribe’s consensus!"

"Wait a sec, father! I’ve never heard of that! Rather, for what purpose did I have to go through those hardships…"
