The sheer number, 10,000, is staggering. Even if I shared them with the Otherworlders I know, there would still be an enormous surplus, so I need to think of ways to consume them.
After all, they are high-quality mushrooms in this world as well, so sharing them with acquaintances should at least reduce the quantity somewhat. Well, for now, I accepted the Spearmush that Lanza-san brought, and Lanza-san gave a firm thumbs-up and smiled.
[The harvest season has ended for this year, but if you let me know, I can bring more during next years harvest season!]
[T- Thank you very much.]
W- Well, Lanza-sans thoughtfulness is truly appreciated, but theres no way I could finish consuming them by next year. After all, thats 10,000 mushrooms. Even if I consumed 10 a day, I wouldnt even get through half. No matter how I think about it, theres no way Ill run out by next year. If anything, this batch could last not just a few years but over a decade.
[Oh, right. Its simple, but I prepared a little gift to show my thanks. I heard that you dont eat meals and only drink water, so I prepared some high-quality water for you.]
[Im sorry to trouble you, but I like water, so Im happy! To show such consideration it makes me exemptly exseenly ex errr thank you very much!!!]
She seemed to be trying to use a somewhat complicated expression but kept stumbling. She was probably trying to say something like it makes me extremely pleased.
(T/N: Kyouetsu shigokudegozaimasu/)
I thought she might be similar to Blossom-san, but this kind of charm is closer to Tir-san or Raz-san, perhaps.
[Since I couldnt figure out anything else you like, I only brought water]
[No, water is more than enough. I am a Spirit, so I dont need solid food.]
[You dont even enjoy them as a taste preference?]
[Enjoy as a taste preference?]
[Eh? Well, I mean its not necessary for living, but you could enjoy flavors and such for fun]
Arehh? She looked as if she had just heard an unfamiliar concept. Lanza-san, clearly surprised by my words, paused for a moment and muttered quietly.
[I never thought of it that way.]
Could it be that Lanza-san is no, even thinking that might be rude. Y- Yes, stoic! Shes probably the stoic type, with little interest in anything unnecessary.
[I see, so thats why Camellia-sama drank tea.]
[Ah, errr until you became Camellia-sans subordinate, have you not interacted with other Spirits?]
[Indeed. Aside from the Spirits of the Spear-branched Tree, I almost never interacted with other Spirits! We Spirits of the Spear-branched Tree are content as long as our dwelling remains comfortable, and we have no interest in the outside world. Should I say were closed-off? So, until recently, I wasnt even under Lillywood-samas command, and the only interaction we had with the outside was the annual Spearmush sale so we only interacted with the outside once a year.]
[I see. Then it makes sense that you didnt know what other Spirits were doing. But in that case, being Lillywood-sans subordinate must have been a significant change.]
The Spirits of the Spear-branched Tree are somewhat like Wingeds perhaps even more closed-off than them. From what she said, they hardly interact with the outside world and seem to live solely to protect their own territory.
[Yes. I went to challenge Lillywood-sama, was defeated by Camellia-sama, and became inspired by her strength and kindness. I immediately returned to my dwelling and suggested we become subordinates of Lillywood-sama.]
[Were you opposed?]
[Yes, I was opposed quite strongly. However, there were a few who agreed. And those who opposed didnt just deny me outright, they considered the history of the Spear-branched Forest and presented the pros and cons of joining Lillywood-samas command, in a lolically loracally lojecally com errr]
[Logically consistent?]
[Thats it! They presented their opposition in a logically consistent way.]
[I see. So you discussed it thoroughly and got everyone to understand.]
Shes talking about it so casually, but I think thats actually pretty incredible. I dont know exactly how old Lanza-san is, but among the Spirits where the older ones are said to be stronger, and given that she has the ability on the level of a Count-rank, she must be a very old Spirit. Changing the mindset of the Spirits of the Spear-branched Tree, who had stuck to their long-standing, rigid traditions and avoided outside contact until now, must have been incredibly difficult.
They must have had a pretty heated debate
[No, I didnt really understand the discussion because it was too complicated, so I just beat up all the opposition and passed it with a majority vote! And the day after I challenged Camellia-sama, we successfully became Lillywood-samas subordinates!!!]
She solved it with violence!? And she became her subordinate the day after proposing it is she some kind of initiative powerhouse?
Honestly, rather than being the World Kings subordinate, I feel like shed be more suitable being the War Kings subordinate
Spirit of the Spear-branched Tree A : [I acknowledge that the World King possesses the power befitting the King of Spirits, and I wont deny that there are benefits to submitting, but a major change comes with a commensurate burden.]
Spirit of the Spear-branched Tree B : [In the first place, the Spear-branched Forest is functioning fine as it is. Theres no need to force a change.]
Spirit of the Spear-branched Tree C : [Exactly. If we go into detail and list the pros and cons, each point]
Spirit of the Spear-branched Tree D : [Couldnt it depend on the conditions? If we maintain the current state and only nominally become subordinates, I dont see a problem.]
Lanza : [I see I understand everyones opinions (she doesnt). Now, those who oppose my proposal, clench your fists show your strength to express your opinion!!!]
Spirit of the Spear-branched Tree E : [Gah, wait, wait, wait]
Spirit of the Spear-branched Tree F : [Stop! Youre an idiot, yeah, but an idiot whos explosively strong, which is why youre our representative as the Great Spirit. No one can match you]
Spirit of the Spear-branched Tree G : [Thats why I said just agree for now theres no way this idiot can have a proper debate]
Spirit of the Spear-branched Tree H : [Well, in the end, that idiot is the strongest, so its best if the idiot decides the policy and we focus on supporting them.]
