When they got out the forest to the south, some plains appeared for a moment. They then further advanced for 30 more minutes. From there, the wagon was taken out and they advanced on the main road.
There were no particular events except for when Cuore was surprised at the speed of the wagon that Kagerou pulled.
Shin and his party finally arrived at Larua Grands Wood.
It was at the hill where Schnee and the others previously watched the duel between Shin and Girard, that they got off of the wagon.
“Amazing. Even after all of the flashy blows, this doesn’t look the right place.”
Shin, who looked at the forest while standing on top of the hill, was surprised about not seeing any traces of destruction. At the start of the fight with Girard, the exchange of skills from the【Cannon Wave】 had mowed down a lot of trees. Though boulders and big trees were blown away due to the after-effects of the fighting, damages were magnified as they were thrown onto the other trees on the ground. Shin had also caught a glimpse of the changes before.
However, now within the range of Shin’s field of vision, he couldn’t find any evidence of it.
“After seeing it, the vegetation from before and after the fight doesn’t change, huh? Rather than restored as before, I think that the rapid growing plants covered the scars or something like that.”
“Yeah. When I look at it closely, I can see a few young trees in several places.”
When Schnee explained the state of the forest, Tiera also had the same opinion. While pointing at a portion of the forest, Tiera said “That is the place where it is growing, around the original forest.” to Shin.
“It’s just like Larua Grand Woods. Unfortunately, I don’t understand it even if you tell me.”
Shin was staring hard at the direction Tiera pointed at, but he wasn’t able to distinguish the differences in the end.
To begin with, naturally other than the size, there was no distinction between the young and old trees.
“As one would expect from Schnee-dono and Tiera-dono. It took me about 10 years until I finally understood the differences.”
“It couldn’t be helped I guess, since the sense related to forests are prominently keen for elves and pixies. But to be able to tell the difference by yourself is a great thing.”
Schnee praised Cuore, while smiling. She seemed to have directly taught Cuore how to tell them apart before. She was probably happy that Cuore could master it properly.
“Thank you very much.”
