Chapter 234 – Bear-san Returns in Triumph

Author’s Note:
I posted this chapter a bit earlier than normal. (Ele note: Not me. I’m posting this late.)

As I watched the three of them work, my eye caught Sanya-san picking up the fallen leaves.
There were lots and lots of leaves blown all around us. Did the leaves of the Sacred Tree have any special value, perhaps?

「Sanya-san, can these leaves be used for anything?」

I asked her, picking up a leaf of my own with Bear-san’s Puppet mouth.

「When made into tea and drunk, they can recover a small portion of magical power and even relieve a little fatigue.」

Oh, it could restore both, even though it was only a small amount. Its effects were similar to that of the White Bear Suit, except inferior?

「And, what does it taste like?」

「Normal, I guess?」

It was hard to judge from that answer… If it was good then I wanted some, but if it was bad I didn’t. It should normally be one or the other.
Then again, if it tasted good and could recover both magical power and fatigue, it would probably become very popular, which make it troublesome.
Still, as long as it didn’t taste too bad, it might make a hit if I marketed it as a tea that relieved fatigue through my stores, simplifying things.

「Since it’s from the Sacred Tree, I thought that it would surely make some high quality tea.」

「Well, everybody has different tastes. Why don’t you try some when we get back to the village?」

「Would that be okay?」

「It’s fine if it’s you, Yuna-chan. I was thinking about making some anyway.」

Sanya-san said and returned to picking up the fallen leaves.
What she said made complete sense.
The elves didn’t do much trading and kept the Sacred Tree a secret, so they most likely just saved it for themselves, right?
Well, I might still be able to make a deal after I tasted it.

After chatting with Sanya-san for a while longer, Mumuroot-san and Arthur-san came over.
The two of them had both climbed the tree and dealt away with the leftover Parasitic Tree’s vines.
The vines and other materials from the Parasitic Tree had all been gathered in one spot.

「Labilata is waiting for us outside. We should go meet up with him and think about what to do with all this afterwards.」

「Is the Parasitic Tree completely dealt with?」

「It should be fine for now, but we should still come in to examine it again later.」

Well, the tree was massive, so it made sense for it to be difficult to thoroughly check every part of it. We also still didn’t know how the Parasitic Tree’s seed had managed to find its way here, and if we didn’t figure that out, it could come back to haunt us.
At that time, I most likely wouldn’t be here to participate in its subjugation, so I hoped that their investigations would bear fruit.

Labilata rushed to us the moment we left the mountain. Given that he could only wait, he was quite concerned. Not to mention that we took our time, examining the tree. Maybe we should have let him know about what had happened before doing so… The other three most likely thought that there was no time for that, so it couldn’t be helped, especially with me completely forgetting about him.

Now that we were back outside, Mumuroot-san, Arthur-san and Sanya-san gave him a simple explanation regarding the status of the Sacred Tree. Once my deeds were mentioned, Labilata turned to me and expressed his thanks, which I humbly accepted.
