I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Drinking the tea made by Jutia-san, I chatted with her while eating the teacakes she served me. As is the case with Ein-san, I gave Jutia-san with a tea tree and sugar canes as well. It seems like that pleased Jutia-san very much, as she still seemed to be in a good mood at the moment.

It seems like the tea leaves this time were really great for the two tea enthusiasts, as they readily agreed to cooperate with the promotion.

[……Speaking of which, Jutia-san’s home is also in the Central Great Forest, isn’t it? Around which area is it located?]

The Central Great Forest is the largest forest in the Demon Realm and is a vast forest. If one casually wanders in, getting lost might almost certainly lead to a disaster…… but well, if one gets lost, it seems that Spirits and Fairies will lend them a hand, so there are basically no cases of people getting missing.

In the Great Forest, there’s not only the Forest City Yggresis, where Lillywood-san resides, but also the homes of the Seven Princesses, each of which apparently lives in the Great Forest. Rosemary-san’s Garden of Myriad Flowers is one of them.

[I see…… Errr, I’m sorry for my ignorance, but how exactly are Spirits different from Great Spirits?]

[There’s no difference, I suppose it’s more of a discernment? For example, for example, using the Spirit Tree we were talking about just now…… The Spirit Trees are trees that would always have a Spirit dwelling in it, so there are many Spirits of the Spirit Tree. Among the Spirits of the Spirit Trees, the one who has the greatest power and acts as the representative is called the Great Spirit.]

[Ahh, I see, so you’re like the head of your own Spirit group. However, among the Seven Princesses, there are quite a few who don’t have “Great Spirit” attached to their name, right?]action

With Jutia-san’s explanation, I somehow understood the reason why one is referred to as Great Spirit…… but I have never heard of anyone other than Jutia-san being referred to as Great Spirit among those I know.

[Unnn, unnn, that’s a good question. You see, you see, it’s all about whether multiple Spirits within that group exist. For example, Spirit Trees are a bit special, but generally, Spirits tend to dwell in trees. It’s not uncommon for multiple Spirits of the same kind to be in the same type of tree. However, however, flowers and such have size issues compared to trees, and their Nature Magic being weaker, making it harder for Spirits to dwell in them. And so, and so, in many cases, there aren’t enough of the same kind of Spirits to even claim to be their representative.]

[Fumu fumu, so the reason Lillywood-san calls herself the Spirit of the World Tree instead of Great Spirit is because there are no other Spirits of the same kind besides Nebula.]lightsnovel

[That’s right, that’s right. In the first place, there are only a few World Trees in the world, and most of them are managed by Lillywood-sama to prevent Spirits from dwelling within them. Since a World Tree holds powerful Nature Magic, if a Spirit were to dwell in them, it could potentially disrupt the balance of the surrounding nature.]

Come to think of it, when Nebula dwelled in the World Tree at my house, Lillywood-san immediately flew over and investigated various things quite carefully, so Jutia-san’s explanation makes sense.

[Flowers often become Fairies by gathering the magic power of several flowers before a Spirit dwells within them, so it’s really hard for a Spirit to dwell within them. The dwelling process for such cases would be quite like a sudden mutation…… That’s why, that’s why, when Spirits dwell in such cases, they often possess significant power. Grass is even much, much rarer than them, as I don’t even know any Spirit of the Grass other than Camellia.]

[I see, thank you for teaching me this.]

[Tis alright, tis alright, don’t mind it…… Rather, I’m really happy that Kaito is interested in Spirits. If there’s anything else you want to know, feel free to ask without hesitation.]

Jutia-san, saying this with a smile, exudes a gentle atmosphere that makes me feel at ease.

Thanks to such an atmosphere, our conversation turned out lively and we continued chatting for a while.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [In other words, it’s because there are multiple Seriouses that I become Serious-senpai……]

? ? ? : [You’re in that situation all on your own, the heck are you saying now……?]

Serious-senpai : [Can’t you at least let me dream……?]
