227-Let's work harder than today






 In order to collect the required number of Midnight Crystals, I used my sensory magic to collect the required number of Midnight Crystals, then took a break when my magic power ran out, and then searched again with my sensory magic............................and then continued to search through different mountains if I couldn't find them, and it took me two whole days to collect the required number.
 I think I may have been a little too optimistic about this one for the first time, but if I'm going to make it anyway, I want to make it as good as I can, and if I compromise, I feel like that's the extent of my feelings for Lilia-san, so I think it's a strange obsession, but I'm going to do the best I can to get me as much as possible I want to gather the best material I can.

 And on the 29th day of the month of Saturday. I was visiting a place, feeling a tremendous muscle ache that assaulted my entire body.

''........good wood, sir?
'Yes. I don't mean to be rude to barge in on you out of the blue, but could you lend me some wisdom? Mr. Lillywood.

 Yes, I'm currently visiting the forest city of Yggfresis, which is called the largest city in the demon world.......the place governed by Liliwood.
 I asked Mr. Liliwood, who seems to be the most knowledgeable about plants and trees that I know, if there is anything good in the wood used for the music box, not to mention the contents.
 Lilliwood-san heard my words and nodded with a gentle smile.

''Of course you don't mind.......yes, hey, hmmm. I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but when it comes to wood, I think the 'branches of the World Tree' are the best.'
Hey, does the name alone sound great... why are you embarrassed?
"No, you see, I think he's just admiring himself...
"Egoistic?

 The World Tree that Mr. Lilliwood is referring to is probably the huge tree that rises through the clouds that sits in the middle of this Yggfresis.
 A tree much bigger than a mountain, or something really fantastical, but I nod my head, not knowing why that makes Mr. Lilliwood feel so shy.
 Then Mr. Lilliwood's cheeks turn a little bit stained and he tells you in a painful way.

The actuality of this is that it's the main body.
"...Heh? Huh? Ehhh!
''You see, I'm a tree spirit........As a matter of fact, the true meaning of Lillywood Yggdrasil is the World Tree. If you can think of me, talking to Kite-san, as a figure of a tree in human form, so to speak...''
Yeah, well...

 In other words, let's say that Liliwood is an anthropomorphic version of the World Tree, or something like that.
 Since he can't move in the form of a tree, he transfers most of his magic power to the spirit body, but his body is only the World Tree.
 That means that the largest of the six kings is not actually Magnawell-san, but Lilliwood-san, isn't it? That world tree looks like it's tens of thousands of meters long...

 While I am surprised, I am also convinced that it is true. Mr. Liliwood produced the fruit of the World Tree on a branch he once grew from his own body. When I remember that, it makes sense that Liliwood-san is the spirit of the World Tree.

But that doesn't mean we can't have the branch, right?
'What? 
...Oh, you're a good person.

 It's easy to forget because of his calm and common sense, but this person is also beyond human knowledge, there's no way my common sense will work.
 Anyway, I thought I could get a branch of the World Tree with this, but for some reason, Liliwood-san looks a little lost.

''........It's just that.......you're going to pick it by yourself, right, Kite?''
And I'd like to, if I could, but...
'Hmm. It must be hard, isn't it? Do you mind if I do that?
'Yes, sir! I'll do my best!

 I didn't even know what the difficulty was, but when I told him that I was going to do my best as much as possible in the first place, Liliwood-san nodded and levitated me with magic and took me to a thick branch around the middle of the world tree.
 

 But the moment I thought that I couldn't cut off a branch of this size, a branch of exactly the right thickness, like a normal cedar, grew out of a part of the branch.

''Please cut it and use it. I think it's enough.''
Thank you. It helps.
Okay, Mr. Kite this is for you.
Is this ... a saw ...?

 

...the Orihalcong saw.
...What?

 Orihalcon? Wasn't that a great one? Isn't that like the most powerful equipment in a game or something?

"I'll leave '10' in case it's not enough. Please tell me if it's not enough.
...What?
So, good luck.
Huh?

 With some ridiculously ominous words, Liliwood-san tells me he'll come for me later and leaves, leaving me to compare the legendary saw in my hand with the branch of the World Tree.
 I wonder what it is, it looks like it's going to be a hell of a lot of work again...











 And that premonition came true, and I was struggling against a single branch as the sky was dusked out.

'....Ki, I can't cut it...it's too hard.

 Yes, I don't know how long it's been since I started I've already broken four of the orichalcon saws. But it's not even half cut yet.
 A tremendously strong branch that can finally be cut a little further after frantically moving the saw dozens and hundreds of times................I know what Mr. Lillywood meant when he said it was hard.

'I mean........even if it's cut, you can't process it.......'
'Oh, that's okay. It's impossible for Kite to make the branches into wood, so I'll do that. I'll adjust the size and cut them into pieces, so Kite-san will just assemble them.
Yeah, well...

 I nodded at Alice's words that came out of nowhere, feeling lightly desperate.
 There's no need to bother using such a ridiculous piece of wood for this.......I'm much more familiar with the use of the saw, and I should be able to cut through normal thin wood now......
 I mean, you could at least buy some wood in the first place........no, no! You decided to make me the best I could possibly provide for Miss Lilia! Don't let this dent in your life! Get out of here, my lazy mind!
 If we could cut off half of it in half a day we could use another half a day to cut it off! Men are guts, let's do it!

That's trivia.
...Hey... Alice?
What is this?
'Why didn't you tell me that earlier? We're halfway through, right? That took hours, didn't it? You've been watching this for a while, haven't you? You're sure that was on purpose, right?
But I have an urgent errand to run.
Before we resume work, I need to talk to you.

 I caught Alice by the scruff of her neck as she tried to run away instantly and decided to take a short break and give her a sermon.

 










"Ughhhh my arm hurts........it doesn't move like it's been hardened with concrete.
You worked hard, didn't you? That's great, Kite.......but you shouldn't try too hard, right?

 I saw the saw as a thorn in the side where my muscles ache with a pickaxe......I can't feel my arms anymore, or really lift them at all.
 When I was working, I was able to fool myself thanks to my motivation, but when I returned to the mansion, the fatigue came all at once.

 It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends.
 You'll feel a good feeling as if your stiff arm is being squeezed, and you enjoy Kuro's soft knee pillow.

...Ugh, I'm tired.
Yeah, it's a lot of work. It's really cool that you're trying your best, Kite, but you don't want to keep trying, do you? So take a break now.
Well, yeah.
Don't worry about it I'll be there for you.
Yes.

 While muttering this, I put my arms around Kuro's waist and hug him lightly.
 It's not a good idea, it's a habit.

Kaito-kun.........I'm always going to support you, Kaito-kun.......do your best!
...Yeah, I'll try.

 Dear Mom and Dad - the second material is wood made from the branches of the World Tree. It was crazy hard and took a hell of a long time, but I managed to get this one too. But I've only just begun to make the music box, so for now, let's heal our minds and bodies and start again tomorrow - even more than today.
