I Can Speak with Animals and Demons

... Elf's disease is caused by the Spirit Tree, and you need the sap in the Sage Tree to cure it?

I am surprised by what the Water Spirit has told me.

............... What is a Spirit Tree in the first place? It's not like a sage tree, but what does it look like?

"Hey, Ferris."

"……… What?

Is it because I ignored Ferris' voice to hear the Spirit's voice? No heart or grumpy voice. Blue eyes can be directed through this one.

Mr. Ferris is scared.

"What's a Spirit Tree? Not like a sage tree?

When I ask him about the Spirit Tree that I just heard, Ferris answers in a grumpy manner.

"… Spirit trees are trees where spirits are said to dwell. You know demons don't come close to the elf forest, right? It's spiritual trees dotted all over the forest, driving away demons coming from the outside."

"Heh, I see"

I thought it was because of the power of the kingdom that demons didn't come, but they didn't. The Spirit Tree is protected by a special tree in which the Spirit resides.

When I was impressed, I suddenly heard a loud voice in my ear.

'No, no! That tree is not like that!

Strong and glowing voice as water spirits manifest strong excitement.

It sounded pretty good to my ear because they screamed at me at a pretty close distance. As I stood up, the spirits who noticed the condition apologized, 'I'm sorry'.

"What? Grandma Fiona's spirits are angry? Did I say something weird?

He was a Ferris who couldn't hear the Spirit, but suddenly he felt something like anger from the strongly luminescent Spirit. Ferris, who doesn't know what he shouldn't have done because he can't convey the word, is just confused.

In the meantime, the water spirits, who have regained their calm, say pompous.

"There's no spirits in that tree. Though I'm leaning in and worshipping...... no '

"So what's the tree called the Spirit Tree?

"That tree is a tree called Komodoki, and it has the characteristics to produce an unpleasant smell for demons. There's comedy, but the demons out there are rarely close to these woods."

Heh, that's a pretty useful tree. That means the demon won't be close to people, right?

If commodoki is planted around villages and settlements, villagers may be able to live without fear of demonic threats.

Wouldn't that greatly reduce the damage caused by demons?

Planting along the main roads connecting villages and villages will make it easier for people to move around and flourish even more than they do today.

Now, I know you've been thinking about the benefits of comodox in your brain, but that's not all this tree can do.

What about me, who even the Spirit can see through with his expression? Is that what I'm thinking coming out of my face? No, if you found out how commodoki works, this is how we're all supposed to think about it, right?

"Commodoki smells bad for demons, so it seems like a tree with convenient properties for humans and elves, but that's different. There's a negative side to commodoki that would defeat its convenience. '

"What's that?

Could that be………….

I lowered my gaze to my dreaded sleeping grandmother.

"There are harmful ingredients for humans and elves in the smell that Commodoki produces. If you keep smoking it, you'll have a lot of that ingredient in your body, and you'll eat it over time. '

That's who Elf's disease is.

The customer continued to smoke the harmful ingredients of comodox, but the disease developed.

Harmful ingredients taken up in the body erode the body over time. The symptoms appeared with a green mole on the skin, which greatly expanded as she continued to inhale the ingredients.

As a result, the area covered in moles hardens and cannot be moved.

Commodoki with properties that combine light and dark parts.

The elves worship the side of the light, attracted by the power to drive away demons.

He would have believed that it was the power of the Spirit, who was very pleased and familiar with his divine power.

Without knowing that it is the poison that erodes us over time.

The more we appreciate and worship that power, the closer we become to Commodoki, and the more harmful ingredients we take into our bodies.

Without knowing that the existence we rely on as a base for our hearts and minds was a sprinkling of poison. The more thankful they will be, the betrayed and poisoned their feelings will be.

How vain and sad.

This grandmother would also have spent a long time praying to the Spirit Tree. I would have looked up with gratitude.

Just imagining it makes me sad and this chest hurts.

Trees that give people light and darkness. That's the Spirit Tree. That's commodoki.

I don't know if Commodoki can live outside the Elf Forest, but if people find out about this, they will try to plant it in pursuit of only the power to get rid of the demons.

We have to plant quite a few copies if we want to surround villages and cities. So people will desperately increase their numbers and plant them. That will make tomorrow's life safer. With hope that life in the future must be richer.

That way, people will be surrounded by poison wherever they go, behind their backs.

That would also result in an explosive increase in the amount of harmful ingredients inhaled, which would quickly invade the disease.

When you realize it, many things are invaded by the devil, and you die without knowing what to do.

What will happen to the demons who have lost their place most by commodoki?

If it makes it somewhat harder to live, you can give up and move around, but what if everywhere is the same place? The demons will endure some smell and will surely break out.

If there is a demon that spits fire, Commodoki is instantly burned out to make no sense.

Don't imagine all the bad things when you try to make the most of it.

Let's not think about all the dark stuff anymore.

I shake my face aside as if I were going to shake off my dark feelings.

Whatever it was, it was thanks to the water spirits that we found out what caused the Elf's disease and that it could be cured. I'm just glad I found that out now.

Grandma and other elves who are still suffering will be saved.

Even Ferris and Fia and their parents, who will develop not far from it…….

"............ I was talking to bumps earlier, what the hell is wrong with you? You think I was talking to the Spirit again?

This is what happens when you inadvertently turn your gaze to the grumpy Ferris who is in the room.

Even though he seems to believe me a little bit that I can talk to Yak, is this what it is to be a spirit? How can the elves have no choice because they have a special view and worship of the Spirit?

You need sap from a sage tree to heal.

We have to go beyond that big hole, and we have to get the sap out of it.

How do I get through such a big, deep hole......

And what causes the disease is the spiritual tree that the elves believe in.

Just explaining that gives me a headache......

As I pressed my forehead against my head, the Spirit of Water approached me again.

"Please! You're the only one who understands my language! I want Fiona... to save the elves...!

Still, I can't overlook this state of affairs.

◆

When I heard about the cause of the disease from the Spirit of Water, I had a cup of tea at Fia's house and then quickly came under the comodox.

The place with the Spirit Tree is not too far from the settlement. Near the fountain off the settlement.

He said he wanted to hide the illness because he didn't let me go on the way home from the fountain or during the guide to the settlement. And then, it seems, because the elves don't feel good about inadvertently approaching the Spirit Tree.

... I can't tell you. The spiritual tree you worship is the cause of the disease. I can't believe it's a poisonous tree.

Even if I told you that earlier, you would only be expelled after eating a great deal of disgust, so let's do that later. I'm just here to check on the Spirit Tree, which is the cause now.

In front of us, a spiritual tree stretches out its branches in a gentle light.

Spirit tree branches are slightly larger and whiter than other trees. And there was a slight green light around the lazy and stretching branches, which made me feel somewhere sacred.

Nestled in a quiet forest, the light-bearing commodoki looks worthy to be called the Spirit Tree.

It's like claiming you don't have a vicious negative side to it. It is also convincing for the elves to call this tree the Spirit Tree.

Potatoes and bright, pale green light are fantastic things, but the smell that causes them. It would be a particle.

"It's nice to see from a distance, but don't get too close, okay? Because some elves don't look good when Jed, the human, is too close."

"I know. I'm not getting any closer."

Ferris next to me says that, but I'm not close without being told.

It's not harmful to my body where I smoked it a little, but not after I heard about it.

"Also, there are many elves today..."

The water spirits floating beside me raise their sad voices.

The Water Spirit has a beautiful woman's voice, so it's nice to hear it nearby.

It's a big difference from the annoying yak in my ear. Speaking of which, Yak said he was going to take a break and went outside, but he didn't come back. What the hell are you doing?

Well, you'll be back in time, and if you're not coming, don't come. You're back in the wild.

Leave Yak alone and look at the Spirit Tree.

There were several elves around the Spirit Tree.

Is it an elf who has developed symptoms like Grandma Fiona? She has bandages wrapped around her arms and legs and hands together to pray.

A similar old elf around it, his family of elves, etc. prayed for recovery in his body.

What you hear is words that pray to the Spirit Tree, or words that you hope your sick family or acquaintance will recover as soon as possible.

Even though that behavior is in turn causing symptoms to develop in ourselves, it is causing progress.

'... no, get close... It's not a spiritual tree...'

"Why are you praying for something like that..."

"Are the eagles just watching this sight over and over again......"

"If our words are delivered……"

There are spirits around such elves, like water spirits, who leak sad and repentant voices.

The spirits who live in eternal times will have seen this sight many times.

I know, but I can't tell him. I can't stop my loved ones from going to death.

Because we can't communicate our words, so we can't touch them.

How teethy and heartbreaking it would have been.

I just can't believe I'm going to suffer so much from not being able to convey the word...

Somehow I lay the figure of the Spirit on myself.

In my case, it was a little different now, dumber and dumber, but I just wanted to encourage you to do it with words. Because it was the only thing that didn't tell them, they misunderstood me and I was going to die.

Regretting that, the goddess Meriarina gave me the power of 'understanding all languages'.

Ability to understand and speak all languages.

This ability can only be used at times like this. I should use it. To put an end to the incidents that happen by not passing on.

So let me hear the spirits and make my wish come true.

So determined by my heart, it was time to walk away.

"It's okay! Because this Jed is a human being who saves the elves."

The water spirits floating beside me said that.

Wait a minute. If you say that, the spirits will screw you up...

My prediction was correct, and the next moment a wave of light pushed in.

'Hey! The water spirits there! Is it true what you're saying now!?

"Liar! Do humans know what we're saying?

'... really? Then help my friend! I advise you, keep him away from this tree!

"You only need to drink the sap in the sage tree of the wise man to heal it! I need you to get it!

Wow! You heard the water spirits, a tremendous number of spirits have gathered. That's more than when you first met Ferris! I don't know what the colorful spirits are talking about because they stand all together in their ears.

"What!? Hey, what the fuck!? You released it again with magic!?

I panicked in the wind about what happened to Ferris next door. Though it's fine to be bumped because you can't touch the Spirit, it would be surprising and dazzling if spirits gathered that emit so much strong light.

"Ah! I'll get the sap already, and I'll tell him, so get away from me!

After this I explained with the Water Spirit, but the swirl of light did not disappear from before me for a while.
