Chapter 431
The first time I met you, you weren’t anything special . I could understand that you were a kind-hearted person . I recognized you as a person with a strong heart . But still, you could be described as ordinary .
——–You were an ordinary being .
——–You were someone insignificant .
——–You were a child .
——–You weren’t anyone special . However……
The first time I heard of the existence of Miyama Kaito was from my precious family, my little sister, Isis’s mouth .
To be honest, even if it’s my family telling me about him, I couldn’t believe that someone like Kaito-san existed . There was no way that a being without strong power could resist Isis’ magic power of death . I thought that there was no way that someone as weak as him could hold her hand .
But then, I heard your name come out of the mouth of Kuromueina, who I consider my mother . I wonder what it was that I felt at that time? I think it was a mixture of anxiety and anticipation, as if an unknown entity had appeared .
It was in the Spirits’ Forest in the Human Realm that I first met the human named Miyama Kaito .
I am the oldest spirit in the world, and all the spirits existing in the world are my followers . From my point of view, the human being called Kaito-san was…… so anticlimactically “ordinary” .
You were but a young being who hadn’t lived even a few hundredth…… No, even a thousandth of my life, holding no great strength or magic power . A very ordinary person .
It seems like you’re able to use a rare magic called “Sympathy Magic”, but I could also use a magic like that . It wasn’t a particularly unique ability .
Although you were blessed by Shallow Vernal-sama, making you loved by nature…… Still, Kaito-san himself could be categorized as an ordinary human .
I’m not making fun of Kaito-san by any means . In fact, I had a very good impression of you when I talked to you .
I could tell that you had a gentle personality, and I also got a good impression that you cared about nature . However, I still couldn’t see why Isis and Kuromueina consider you as a special being .
However, you easily surpassed my imagination .
You were liked by the overbearing Megiddo, gained the interest of Magnawell, and even Shalltear…… recognized you as someone special .
You were certainly someone ordinary…… but you were still unafraid to challenge the extraordinary .
And then, you have dispelled the darkness in Kuromueina’s heart . You did what neither I nor the other members of the Six Kings could do, accomplishing it as if it was something so easy .
“It was truly amazing”, was what I thought .
……That’s right . I think by that time, I had begun to think of you as someone special .
Was it the atmosphere around you? If Isis’ magic power of death keeps others away, it’s as if the atmosphere around you attracts others .
You don’t fear me, one of the Six Kings, treating the Spirit of the World Tree…… A tree like me just like any other person .
There are two main types of emotions that are usually directed at me by people outside of my family . From the spirits, fairies, elves, and plants…… They who are connected to nature, they praise and believe in me as if I were a God .
The rest of the world treats me with awe as one of the Six Kings .
However, the emotions you directed towards me were neither of these . It was pure affection…… The kind of warmth you would feel for someone standing next to you .
It’s not that I didn’t like it . In fact, I felt happy instead…… However, how should I say this…… I still can’t seem to get used to it .
You’re not my family . You’re not my follower . Our race and age are different . You are supposed to be someone very distant towards me .
However, it’s quite strange . When I talk to you…… I feel as if the thought of you being by my side seems natural to me .
Perhaps, that gentle air that makes you so “special” is something that can only be understood by being around you .

When I’m talking to you, I feel as if it’s natural that I’m not the World King, but as Lillywood Yggdrasil, your equal .
I wonder what this is? This feeling…… It feels ticklish, but very pleasant . It’s not the same as the feeling I had when I was with my family or when I was talking with my friends…… Unfortunately, I can’t find the words to describe it well .
Though I say that, that doesn’t mean I’m in a hurry to find them . I don’t have any basis for this, but somehow…… I feel that if I stay with you from now on, I will be able to find the answer to this unfamiliar feeling .
I’m kind of really looking forward to knowing what this feeling is .
Oh my? It’s really strange . When was the last time I felt excited about the changing future? The longer I live, the more conservative I become towards change but……
Maybe you are helping me to do this without me even realizing it . To a future that makes me smile even more than now…… If that’s the case, are you special enough to bring change to others?
……No, I don’t need to think about that .
Whether you…… Kaito-san, are special or not, the feelings I have for you will not change . Kaito-san is kind and warm…… Someone special to me…… That’s enough for me . At least, for now that is……
I don’t have to think about anything else, I can just go back to my childlike innocence once in a while…… Just enjoying the time I spend together with you .
Kaito-san…… Objectively thinking, you aren’t so special . Yes, that’s if I look at you alone…… but, I’m sure that when you’re with someone, it is when your existence shines .
