Eat The World Tree

Chapter 230: Timing (1)

A hole was punched through the trunk of the standing tree with a single blow.

Guseul quickly dropped to the ground to escape her opponent’s range.

A woman with dark skin coldly looked down at her from the branch where Guseul had been sniping the cadets earlier.

‘This has gotten too troublesome.’

The power of the national trees was immeasurable.

Their strength varied widely depending on the talents of each country or tree.

They ranged from individuals reaching S-grade to those lingering around A-grade.

As Guseul was falling, she prepared her landing posture.

‘Running away is the best strategy.’

She needed to escape.

The woman, watching the falling Guseul, threw herself into the air as well.

Guseul, who landed first, stepped back and drew her bow.

She expanded the magic power concentrated on her fingertips and aimed at the falling woman.

-Thud!

“Hoo.”

A cloud of dust rose as the woman landed.

As soon as the dust cleared, their eyes met.

The woman narrowed her eyes at Guseul, who had her bow drawn.

Judging by her appearance, she was a national tree from Africa.

A continent-sized country where most of the land was lost to gates, making it unusable.

However, due to constant battles with monsters, their combat skills are among the highest of the national trees.

“Hey.”

One cold word fell from her lips.

As she exhaled roughly, her massive chest shook.

“Are you going to fight?”

“……?”

“I’m looking for someone right now. I don’t particularly feel like fighting.”

Luckily, Bao’s words were not as belligerent as the rumors suggested.

It’s strange enough that the woman known as the berserker is avoiding a fight.

Guseul’s eyes twitched.

[Zing~!]

The surrounding cameras rotated in the air like in a movie, capturing the scene between the two. Bao stared intently at Guseul’s face.

“You, El Academy. Do you know where Lee Shiheon is?”

A man’s name slipped from her lips.

“…Lee Shiheon?”

“Lee Shiheon from El Academy. I think I’ve seen you with him. Do you know him?”

Of course, she did.

That man was also Guseul’s target.

Guseul smiled with trembling lips.

“What if I do?”

“Tell me.”

“Pfft. Usually, you give a reason first. Why are you looking for him?”

“It’s personal.”

Bao narrowed her eyes, seemingly annoyed by Guseul’s laughter.

Despite her relaxed posture and continuously using magic to enhance her body, her magic showed no signs of depleting.

Why did she want to target Lee Shiheon?

Guseul calculated the pros and cons in her head.

Finding Lee Shiheon wouldn’t be difficult.

With the basic premise of teaming up, locating an artifact to track her team members is occasionally possible.

Of course, since most dungeons open on the third day, it might be difficult to find him today, the second day….

Let’s see.

After finishing her calculations, Guseul faintly smiled.

“I can’t tell you.”

The elimination of Lee Shiheon was not something Guseul desired.

He needed to survive until the end.

“You’re taking a long detour.”

Bao’s face hardened at Guseul’s words.

Dark red magic power swirled around her hands. She seemed slightly larger than before.

Could she win without release and artifacts?

With the surrounding cameras, she couldn’t show her true skills.

As Guseul silently chanted a spell, she released the drawn bowstring.

Simultaneously, Bao moved.

A confrontation between Flower and national tree.

A massive vibration resonated in the forest.

-Step, step.

Maronnie walked through the forest, panting.

With the shock of staying up all night and the lingering pleasure, she walked staggeringly.

‘I can’t do this…’

It had been over an hour since she parted ways with Lee Shiheon.

Maronnie finally stopped and looked around.

A large skirmish seemed to have occurred elsewhere, and luckily, the cameras weren’t following her.

She extended her magical senses to search the area.

No one within 100 meters.

Maronnie sat down by the edge of a tree in the forest.

“…Ha. Ugh… Ah.”

She reached under her skirt and touched her underwear.

Her lower body was soaked with sticky sap.

“I really hate this…. It’s annoying.”

She briefly dried her lower body with magic. Maronnie shivered, her fingers tracing the area.

That event was still vivid.

It might remain unforgettable until her dying breath.

It was so shocking that she even considered sticking with that man for a long time.

She sat by the tree, legs spread, wiggling her toes.

Her knee socks were torn and unusable, exposing her pale, slender legs and thighs.

Maronnie bit her arm to stifle the sounds.

While doing something she shouldn’t, her body trembled as if having a seizure.

‘It’s probably because only a day has passed.’

Maronnie remembered her words.

Reflecting on yesterday’s events, she oozed sap in regret.

-…Blanche… Like… Forever… Do it forever….

Aaaaargh! Damn it!

No matter how flustered, how could she say such things?

Lee Shiheon’s response was equally absurd.

-Then you’re my tree from today. Understood?

-Yes.

He probably didn’t remember.

“Kyah… Ah!”

-Spit, spit.

She spat and began to dry herself with magic.

Her head felt clearer. Although the lingering memories were unpleasant, clearing them in her refreshed state wasn’t difficult.

Face reality.

She was a national tree.

A pillar of France and potentially the most powerful figure in the future.

She couldn’t afford distractions like this.

Maronnie repeated this to herself.

-Chomp, chomp.

Blanche’s itchy knots seemed to disagree.

-Rustle!

The sound of rustling bushes was heard.

“…Heek!”

Maronnie, startled, hastily pulled up her white panties.

She had indulged for too long.

Using magic to dress herself in a flash, Maronnie hiccuped and stared at the rustling bushes, from which a cute, red-haired woman emerged.

“Sexy smell!”

The woman appeared with leaves in her hair, making a strange comment.

Maronnie, greatly surprised, covered her chest with her arms.

Her flushed cheeks turned even redder.

“…You’re not a man.”

The red-haired woman, Aori, puffed out her cheeks in disappointment.

“I was sure it was that man.”

“What, what are you?”

After shouting about a sexy smell for no reason, she suddenly got disappointed by herself.

Maronnie gathered magic power in her hand.

Even though her mind was scattered, she could still handle this much.

Even if she was trembling in fear and pleasure in the dungeon, Maronnie could still use magic even if she lost an arm.

Aori, seeing Maronnie’s magic, slowly retreated into the bushes.

She didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting.

Maronnie also did not wish to waste more magic power.

-Rustle.

Aori reappeared, but this time there were two of them.

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

Maronnie, Aori, and Taeyang.

For some reason, the way they were looking at her felt strange. Maronnie discreetly activated her unique ability to read their thoughts.

And soon, fragments of their thoughts unfolded in her mind.

Although it wasn’t as vivid as before, it was like watching a muted TV screen displaying their imaginations.

In their minds was a messy and promiscuous scene between a man and a woman.

Of course, Maronnie was not in it.

Their thoughts were simply filled with lewd ideas.

‘…….’

Maronnie blushed, looking serious.

‘Why are all the people I meet like this…?’

Did commoners have lewd thoughts as their default?

Was she the abnormal one?

Did they all regularly engage in such sex?

They seemed like Koreans. Were commoners from that country weird?

She had met three people, and all three were like this.

-Shiver, shiver.

Normally, she would have dismissed it without a thought, but her body began to tremble.

It felt less like a temperament issue and more like the trauma from that day resurfacing.

It’s strange.

At the same time as the ecstasy of pleasure, she also felt fear.

Maronnie kept reminding herself.

That big and long thing from the man’s and woman’s thoughts. What she saw in her imagination was a baguette. A freshly baked, soft baguette.

She tried to chase away the lewd thoughts.

…But. It seemed smaller than that person’s.

Was it too big?

‘Ugh. Fool. What are you thinking?’

-Kwachizizik!

Rough electric currents surged from Maronnie’s hand.

“Eek!”

Aori and Taeyang, startled, ran away like scared mice. Maronnie sighed and plopped down on the spot.

“Bijou. I can’t move anymore.”

A golem rose from the ground and lifted Maronnie onto its shoulder.

Her soft, slightly red-marked buttocks rested on the golem’s shoulder.

She finally felt comfortable.

At that time, Aori and Taeyang.

“Are you crazy? How could you bring me to a place where a national tree is?”

“But I smelled a familiar scent.”

“What familiar scent?”

The smell of semen. Even if it’s well-handled with magic, it couldn’t be missed.

As a descendant of the Tree Spirit King, it was impossible not to recognize it.

Aori almost said that but kept her mouth shut.

Sometimes a woman didn’t want to reveal her secrets.

“We’ll meet him soon anyway.”

The man was getting closer. Aori clenched her fists.

“What are you going to do when you meet him? I told you, you can’t have sex here.”

Taeyang maintained a cynical attitude, but Aori pouted her lips.

“I’ll take him to the dungeon and do it there.”

“What? You’re going to pounce on him in the dungeon?”

Taeyang started to argue but then fell silent, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

“…That’s genius?”

Surprisingly, it wasn’t a bad idea.

Running to where Sansuyu was.

The distance seemed quite far.

To cross this dungeon in one direction, it would take three full days of running. They might not meet for several days.

‘But she’s not someone who can’t take care of herself.’

Even if she’s not at the level of a national tree, she’s the salutatorian of El Academy. She’s regarded as one of the top talents of a prestigious academy, so she shouldn’t fall easily.

There’s no worry. If there was a concern, it would be about the milk containers bursting. That was also a significant issue.

‘I need to meet Sansuyu quickly and build a shelter.’

A tent blocking the blind spots that cameras can’t detect.

Inside, she could alleviate Sansuyu’s suffering without worry.

Also, she could treat her with her powers…

‘She’s like a cousin who requires a lot of attention when she’s around.’

Suddenly appearing and asking me to take care of her. I thought I could just watch some TV, but it turned out to be quite demanding.

I wonder how she’s doing now.

There’s no point in worrying about family.

-Rustle!

At that moment, I detected someone with my magic.

I stopped running and watched the presence near the forest.

There were two presences.

Not two people, but a person and a monster. They seemed to be in a confrontation, and the person appeared to be losing.

I made my way through the forest to get closer.

Soon, I found a person who was about to be attacked by a wolf.

Long black hair and a face filled with fear. She had a gentle impression that looked somewhat unfair.

“Huff, huff.”

She seemed to be a swordsman but looked exhausted. Her mana was completely depleted.

Seeing me while facing the wolf, the woman urgently shouted.

“Ah! P-please help!”

Asking for help. In a formal competition, she had quite the nerve.

Judging by the backpack, she seemed to have cleared a dungeon. If I was lucky, I might obtain an artifact. It was also time for a meal.

I raised electricity with my hands without even holding a staff.

At that moment, the name of the female tree person appeared before my eyes.

[Gaebyeokjina Tree]

What an odd name.
