Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 9. Rose Fairies' Decision.

When all the fairies approached, Liu Shu heard many notifications about her <Charm of the Seedling> skill, and the proficiency increased by around 250 points, increasing the level of the skill by one.

One of the messages was especially eye-catching, which made Liu Shu exclaim in her head.

[<Charm of the Seedling> has attracted a <Rose Fairy Level 10>. Proficiency increased by 100.]

Liu Shu looked at the tallest fairy in the group with interest. 'Level 10! The highest-level little friend yet!'

She also realized that the proficiency points gained were ten times as much, making her feel happy inside. 'Will I gain extra every time a level 10 comes? Or is this friend special?"

The fairies flew around her, and a few of them approached the carcass of the beaver she just killed. Liu Shu heard them speak.

"Look at this!"

"What's wrong?... Wow! Even the bones are broken. How strong is she?"

"I would hate to be on the other side of her attacks."

A relatively low-level fairy commented. "But she can only attack from a close distance, no? Any of us should be strong enough to defeat her."

However, a few seniors looked at her with frowns. "Little girl, have you seen her bark and trunk thickness?"

The low-level fairy looked over and saw that Liu Shu was relatively thicker than other trees of her height. "Huh?"

The low-level fairy looked closer and asked. "Say, do you feel like her trunk has a strange womanly shape?"

A few fairies who heard them looked over, closely examining her, and laughed.

"It's true! Hahaha."

"So strange~."

"Such coincidences are rare."

However, Flor looked at that shape with a deeper expression, her mind spinning with many thoughts.

After a few moments of hesitation, Flor took the initiative and approached with a smile, floating very close to Liu Shu. Of course, as she approached, she was very alert. She was confident in defending herself, but if she took one of the attacks she had just witnessed with her bare body, she might get an injury.

"Hello, little one. It is the first time I've seen a little tree as beautiful as you in my 38 years of life."

When she heard her speaking, Liu Shu felt joyous, and her branches swayed happily at her compliment.

The fairies around giggled when they saw her reacting to Flor's words.

"She is really cute."

"So, it was true that she could understand."

Clavel snorted at the side. "Why would I lie about these things?"

The second in command of the fairy group, a fairy called Amapola, commented. "We have to protect this little one." The fairies nodded, and then Amapola added wistfully. "Maybe she can become our forever home."

Flor and the rest of the fairies became a bit silent.

They constantly moved around because strong creatures or natural events sometimes toppled the trees they lived in, and they could do nothing to prevent it most of the time. While Flor was strong, she was only strong relative to the creatures living in the nearby forest area.

When mass migrations, beast tides, powerful hurricanes, and other natural events occurred, her power was nothing but a raindrop against the wind.

Flor snapped out of her daze, and she quickly reprimanded. "Don't discuss things here. The little one can understand us, and she might get the wrong idea that we want to use her. If she can become our home, it is nothing but a result of our actions of protecting her, not the objective."
