"What\'s wrong?"

"The soil here is not only fine, but it is also very humid. In addition, there are many clumpy areas, so crops will not grow here.

"Is there anything you can do about it?"

"Well... there is a way, but it requires cutting down the trees in the forest."

That... is absolutely impossible.

Vival and the other Siljus returned from behind. Rico\'s hand was strong again.

"Doing so will provoke the wrath of the forest and the spirits of the forest that protect us. We are allowed to stay here on the condition that when we cut down the trees of the forest, we will consult with them through the spirits.

"Hmmm, that sounds difficult."

"Once the moisture in this soil is gone, we can cultivate it. If the drainage is good, we can cultivate without any problem..."

"It\'s also inefficient for me to plow with earth magic every time..."

"It is Irizar\'s fault. It\'s his fault. He can\'t handle the spirits.

While May and I are struggling with this, one of the Psylliussians speaks up.

"Shut up, Sakitra. Do not blame Irizar.

Vival rebukes him.

"Irizar?"

"He is the only one of our clan who can make a contract with an earth spirit. In Lamaron we had no problem making contracts with earth spirits, but here, even though we can make contracts with them, we have not been able to use them properly.

"I see. And this Mr. Irizar..."

Viveal looks down. Then, apologetically

"Irizar... is so despairing of his own inadequacy that he stays at home."

Apparently, there are shut-ins here, too.

"When Irizar was using the earth spirit, he managed to produce some crops, but now there are no crops at all.

"I see. That\'s why you came to me..."

We decided to go to Irizar\'s house anyway. Her house is in a tree.

Irizar lives in this large, already dead tree. She has not been seen for the last few months. She was always a curious girl and a good student, but I never thought this would happen to her.... As the head of the clan, I feel responsible."

With these words, Viveal went under a large dead tree and sat down with his back bent. It seemed to be the entrance to the house.

Irizar. Master Barsam has come to see you. I think he can help you. Why don\'t you talk to him? Irisal? Irisal?"

No response at all from the tree. There seems to be a total shut-in.

"I am so sorry, Mr. Bertherm. I have not raised you well enough..."

"No, I don\'t think it has anything to do with the way you were raised, Mr. Chieftain."

What do you mean?

"Ummm. I don\'t know how to say this, but I think it depends on how you take it..."

I proceeded to Irizar\'s residence. Looking closely, I see a small door. This seems to be the entrance.

"Uh-huh. Since we\'re on the subject, let me tell you an old story!

I dare to speak out loud. Siljus and the others are stunned.

Once upon a time, there lived an old man and an old woman. Grandpa went to the mountains to cut the brush, and Grandma went to the river to do the laundry. When the grandmother was washing her clothes in the river, big peaches came floating down from the upper side of the river. The old lady was delighted to see it. She immediately brought it home.

When the old man returned home, he was surprised to see the big peach!

"Grandma, what a big peach!"

"I picked them up in the river, Grandpa. Let\'s eat it together."

Granny brought a big knife from the kitchen and was about to cut a peach,

"Grandma, wait. You\'re not my grandmother, are you? Who are you?

"Hmph, hmph, hmph... I see that Gonzo is not to be fooled. But pheasants can\'t be shot if they don\'t cry!

The grandmother\'s body is getting bigger and bigger! What a surprise, the grandmother has turned into a giant ogre! What\'s going on, Grandpa!

To be continued!

"...Well, I\'ll tell you the rest of the story over there."

I start to walk away.

"Wait! Wait!!!!"

When I turned around, I saw a cute little psyllus peeking out from the trunk of a large tree.

"What happened to your grandfather~~!

"...are you Irizar?"

"... Where\'s Grandpa?"

The woman\'s face is the only thing sticking out of the hole in the tree trunk.

"Answer my questions and I\'ll tell you."

"..."

"Don\'t you listen to the spirit of the earth?"

The woman turns away with a pout.

"Well, if that\'s the case, I understand how you feel. I\'ve been there. There are those who won\'t listen to me no matter how much I try to be sincere, no matter how much I try to explain. It\'s tiring to talk to someone like that."

The woman doesn\'t respond.

"You have the option of not dating someone like that, okay? Don\'t you have any other earthly spirits?"

"... I can\'t because I\'m a gnome."

"Gnomes?"

According to Vyvyar, gnomes are the highest ranking of the earth spirits.

"Well, isn\'t it great to be able to follow such a top-level spirit? You\'re amazing!"

"... He said I was a bad shot and an idiot."

"I see~ It\'s hard to hear that when you\'re working so hard. I\'m trying really hard, but when people say I\'m stupid, it\'s hard to take.

I\'ll tell you about my training with Master Falco.

"So, you probably feel a bit guilty about this family, don\'t you?"

Again the woman turns her head.

"That\'s kind of you. You are."

"Kind?"

"I\'m not being nice. I\'m just thinking about my family and trying, trying, trying. And you felt unworthy, didn\'t you? The chiefs spoke kind words to you, but you felt guilty about that, too, didn\'t you? It\'s a sign of kindness that you can put so much of the blame on yourself."

"..."

"Perhaps you don\'t have confidence in your ability to get along with earth spirits from now on?"

The woman\'s expression turns grim.

"I guess so. I understand. You\'re worried. But there is a way to get rid of that anxiety....

The woman thought for a while and nodded her head.

"There was once a person who was tormented by anxiety because he thought about too many things. He was a very kind person. Well, he had a sensitive heart. And because he was kind and sensitive, he felt anxiety easily. And he let his anxiety get the better of him. He just told himself, "You have to be strong. And guess what, now I\'m very strong and I don\'t have the anxiety anymore. He has become a wonderful person who is both kind and strong.

The woman looks at me with a scowling face.

"You are kind. But you have a weakness that lets your insecurities get the better of you. You can be strong if you keep saying strong words. Well, what I say is not absolute. It doesn\'t matter if you don\'t accept what I say. You can take the path you believe in. Well, I hope that helps."

I turn back to Viveal.

"Chief. It is not your fault that she has withdrawn. It\'s just that this person and the earth spirit don\'t match. There must be a spirit that suits her. Why don\'t you let that spirit control you?"

"It is true that Irizar can control fire spirits, but..."

Then why don\'t you try to control a fire spirit in earnest? If you like it, go for it; if not, we\'ll think of something else. She finds working with the current genie very boring, doesn\'t she? It is nothing but a burden for her to make her do it. Isn\'t there anyone who can control the earth spirits?"

"...that\'s... I don\'t know."

"Master..."

May speaks to me apologetically.

"Would you allow me to talk to the earth spirit once?"

"What\'s wrong, Mei?"

"Yes, I have a proposal. I was wondering if the spirit of the earth could help us.

"Hey, Irizar. Can you get my wife to talk to the earth spirit?"

I don\'t think so.

Why?

The spirit of the earth hates me. They said I would never come under your roof again."

Hmmm, no way out...?

Behind me, the Siljus and the others are whispering behind my back as I rack my brains. I didn\'t notice it.

".........How can you talk to Irizar so easily after not talking to anyone for almost half a year......."

"Yes, he\'s a very capable man."

Then you\'re in.

"Maybe we can accelerate that plan?"

"Yes. We\'d better hurry this up, if we have to."

A few Siljus had a chuckle....
