Act IV, Chapter 12
update icon Updated at 2025/3/25 12:10:12

When I finally snapped out of that mental world, I realized my body was floating in midair.

Below me stretched an empty deep forest, and right in front of me stood that golden ancient tree—the true body of the Holy Wood’s soul.

Yeah, just casually floating in midair.

In midair...

If I remember right, I used to have this thing called a fear of heights.

So shouldn’t I be screaming right about now...?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

So I took a deep breath—

“Uwaaaaaaaaaa—why the hell is this happening again!?!!?!”

Seeing me wake up, Emile pulled back the finger she’d been using to try and snap off a branch of the golden ancient tree, then lightly dropped back down to the ground.

“If this happens again, I’m ripping you up from the roots.”

Emile turned around and threw out the threat with a vicious look.

The golden ancient tree trembled at a speed almost too fast for the naked eye.

The elves fell dead silent.

Only the old elf in the front was clutching his forehead in disbelief, muttering under his breath, something like, “For Lord Holy Wood to recognize this kind of person... Could it be Lord Holy Wood is actually a masochist? Then shouldn’t we all be masochists...”

Emile sprawled carelessly across the ancient tree behind her, then slapped the roots under her.

“So? What did this naggy dumb log want with you this time?”

“It was helping me, okay? It said it was gonna awaken some kind of talent skill for me.”

Eh? Right, didn’t I just awaken some talent?

Why don’t I feel anything at all?

I opened my palm and tried to find anything different about myself.

Mana... didn’t really increase much.

Strength... doesn’t feel that different either.

I didn’t suddenly turn light as a feather.

I still couldn’t hold my breath for very long.

My head didn’t feel any clearer.

...

Don’t tell me I awakened some trash-tier skill?

“Talent skill?”

Emile looked just as confused, jumped off the tree, and walked up to me.

“Now that you mention it...”

She slowly raised her hand, like she was going to test my talent.

Her hand moved gently, slowly—

Then grabbed the softness on my chest in one go.

“...”

“...”

The elves around us were staring, eyes going blank.

I even heard a neat chorus of swallowing...

I swallowed slightly myself, my cheeks heating up until they were tinged pink.

In the end I couldn’t help but scream—

“E-E-E... Emile, what are you doing!!??”

She looked at me, dazed, and even gave it a little absentminded squeeze.

“U-ya!? Y-you... you...”

Just as I was about to be bullied into tears, Emile finally came back to herself.

“Ah, I suddenly felt like Molly Ann sweetheart got even cuter, and I just couldn’t help it...”

“What do you mean ‘got even cuter’!? Who asked you!? Let go of me already!!”

My brain finally, belatedly, processed the info about my awakened talent skill—
