My name is Ars. I’m an A-rank adventurer. Joining forces with my fellow adventurers, I set out for a certain fantasy land. It is a tower that was once built by the legendary Great Sage, Aristotle. In his later years, he is said to have immersed himself in the study of magic, and it is said that the tower contains research records and magic tools that are far from being reached even to this day.

However, it was said that no one had yet been able to reach the tower.

—Except for us.

“This is it…… the Great Sage’s Tower…… What a height……! I can’t believe that such a structure was built more than a thousand years ago……”

“……The legend was true after all!”

“Haha, this is the discovery of the century! Our name will surely go down in history!”

My comrades let out a voice of excitement and admiration. Right. At last, we have reached the Tower of the Great Sage, which has never been done before. It took a lot of hard work to get to this point. After all, it’s been ten years since we first decided to take on this challenge. 

There was a day were we almost eaten by sandworms many times, and we even hallucinated in the intense heat. A day when we were attacked by a horde of super-belligerent monkeys, and we tried our best to escape. A day when we almost gave up in the face of the terrifying piranhas that inhabited the lake, thinking that there was nothing we could do about it.

We’ve tried it more than 10 times so far, and each time, we’ve stopped halfway through and kept turning back. But we didn’t give up this dream. Every time we failed, we found a way to deal with it, and today, we overcame many trials.

“The entrance seems to be on the other side.”

“Let’s go!”

“Mmm. We’ve come all the way here after all. We need to go inside!”

We couldn’t wait, so we ran to the base of the tower. And then—

“-Uh, someone’s here.”

“What……? there’s someone else here?”

Huuuuuh? There are other people here!? 

Moreover, they are three young women. Two of them still look like they’re in their teens.

“Hoh~, they’ve just come through the desert and lake? That’s pretty impressive!”

And there’s even a baby! 

W-wait, did he just taaalk ……?

“Wh-what’s going on?! This is supposed to be an uncharted territory!? Why are there people here before us?!”

I couldn’t help but hold my head and scream. Then, the baby from earlier said,

“Uncharted Territory? I don’t think so. The Great Sage built the tower, so it’s not uncharted, right?”

Forgetting that the baby was talking, I raised my voice.

“The Great Sage is of course an exception! Since then, there has been no record of anyone reaching this place! We….. we were supposed to be the first…! Do you know how many days, money, and effort it took for us to get here…?! But why…. why did someone come before us……. Aaaaaaaaaah!”

“Uh-uhm.…..sorry about that.”

　◇　◇　◇

It was when we came close to the entrance of the tower.

『Master, someone is approaching us. 』

A little while after Lindwurm’s warning, a group of what appeared to be adventurers arrived.

“Wh-what’s going on?! This is supposed to be an uncharted territory!? Why are there people here before us?!”

One of them looked at us and screamed.

“Uncharted Territory? I don’t think so. The Great Sage built the tower, so it’s not uncharted, right?”

It’s true that this is a place that is not easy to reach, but even so, there were many disciples who came to it at that time, and it is by no means an unprecedented level.

“The Great Sage is of course an exception! Since then, there has been no record of anyone reaching this place! We…we were supposed to be the first…! Do you know how many days, money, and effort it took for us to get here…?! But why…why did someone come before us……. Aaaaaaaaaah!”

However, he begins to mourn as if he has lost his beloved family.

“Uh-uhm.…..sorry about that.”

As I was doumbfounded, he asked in a trembling voice.

“H-have you entered the tower yet……?”

“Eh? Not yet-”

“Oh, I see…… Then—”

Suddenly, the adventurer began to run at full speed towards the entrance of the tower.

“As we’re the first to enter the tower, we’ll be the real first ones to enter heeeere! Everyone, ruuun!”

“““Oooooooh!!”””

In response, his companions rushed out all at once.

“……If you’re satisfied with that, then do as you like.”

“Mmm, it’s green. What more, it’s a lake.”

“It’s a beautiful lake!”

Fana and Anje’s eyes sparkle as the oasis comes into view. Well, it certainly looks like a healing oasis in the harsh desert. However, in reality, it is quite a heinous place.

“Hmm, there’s something in that tree?”

Lill, who has good eyesight, pointed to a number of shadows jumping from tree to tree.

“It’s a monkey monster called the Mad Monkey. They are very belligerent, and if you come even a little closer to the forest around the lake that they claim as their territory, they will attack you in a flock. Here, take a look.”

I used summoning magic. After the light subsided, an orc appeared inside the wheelhouse. Some time ago, I had encountered an orc tribe in a forest somewhere but I decided not to kill them and turn them into my summoned beast.

“Bye”

“Buhiiiiii!?”

The floor at its feet opens and the orc fell to the ground. Perhaps reminded of the trauma, Lill hurriedly fled towards the wall. The orc crashes into the ground, breaking and tearing branches and leaves of the tree in the process. However, I dropped it on the soft soil, so it should still be alive.

“““Wookiiiii!!”””

The next moment, a terrific monkey cry echoed from all over the forest. Moving from tree to tree at breakneck speed, they rushed towards the orc that have fallen from the sky all at once.

“Buhiiiiiiii!?”

The orc panicked and tried to escape, but by then, it was already surrounded on all sides. Mad monkeys pounce on it one after another. Each one is about the size of a child compared to an orc, but the orc was quickly buried out of sight. After a while, the Mad Monkeys dispersed, looking satisfied. All that was left was the orc’s bones.

“……T-they devoured it in an instant.”

“I’m scared!”

Fana and Anje’s cheeks twitched. The area around the lake is still quiet. But the lake is far more dangerous.

“Now I’ll drop an orc in the direction of the lake.”

“Buhiiii!?”

I dropped another orc into the lake. Then before it even reached the surface,

—Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi Pichi

“W-what is thaat!? ……A huge creature jumped out of the lake!?”

“No. Anje-oneechan, take a closer look.”

“N-no way, countless fish!?”

It looked like a giant creature, but it was actually a group of monsters called Mad Piranhas.

“Is it swimming?”

Just as Fana had muttered with wide eyes, the piranhas were rising higher and higher into the sky by swimming over the bodies of their comrades. Countless mad piranhas took to the air and caught the orc before it fell into the water. The orc is dragged into the water as it is. Eventually, the surface of the water became quiet, and only the bones floated up.

““……””

Fana and Anje were speechless. Well yes, to get through this lake, one needs to be at least 100 meters high.

“Well, I can finally see our destination.”

It is an island floating in the center of the huge lake. There, the “Tower of the Great Sage” towered high in the sky.

“What a very tall tower”

“I can’t believe there’s something man made in a place like this…… I wonder who made it and how……?”

Of course, I was the one who made it. However, since it was a private lab at first, it was at most about 300 meters above the ground. However, as the research space became scarce and the number of disciples increased, it was extended each time, and eventually reached a height of more than 800 meters above the ground. When the weather is bad, you can look down on the sea of clouds from the top floor.

『As I thought, it has hardly deteriorated even after more than a thousand years.』

『Security seems to be still working as well.』

『That means that the only way to get in is from the ground.』

The rooftop is a take-off and landing field for airships, but since this ship is not registered, it is not possible to land there directly. I decided to go down to the ground.

“It will take two to three days to reach our destination so feel free to use any room you like on this ship.”

The magical airship I built, the Senigrandi, has three floors. The second and third floors are mainly guest rooms, and I was guiding Fana and the others there.

“Can I sleep over?”

“Yes. There are beds, toilets, and shower rooms in each room.”

“It’s amazing. Everything is available!”

The thieves used it badly, so it was hard to repair and clean.

“There is a single room for one person and a double room for two people, but it doesn’t matter where you guys want to stay because there are only a few of us here. I said there is a shower in each room, but there is also a large public bath on the third floor. So if you want to use it, you can do so.”

Unfortunately, there is not enough space on a ship this size to fit two large baths together so a mixed gender bath can be made. Well, anyways, I’m a baby, so it doesn’t matter whether I use the men’s or women’s bath.

『That’s nothing but a problem.』

The ship also has a large lounge that can be used for resting or socializing, as well as a restaurant and a bar. Of course, it’s not available now, but you can cook meals in the restaurant’s kitchen. 

From the third floor, you can go out to the observation deck where you can have the sky all to yourself.

“Hm, superb view.”

“It’s nice during the daytime, but it’s also very beautiful at night because you can see the stars well.”

“…… You know a bit too much, don’t you?”

The Great Sage’s Tower was not a place that anyone could easily visit. In order to get there, we had to cross at least two major barriers. 

The first is the vast desert. The Tower of the Great Sage is located in the middle of a dangerous desert, so you must cross this desert first. During the day, the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, and at night it drops below freezing point, and sometimes, violent sandstorms occur. 

Whether you look to the right or the left, the sandy terrain continues, so it is not uncommon for people to lose their sense of direction and continue to wander and run out of strength here. It’s not just the harsh environment. There are many vicious monsters that have evolved independently in this desert. Since most of the people who entered the area easily did not return alive, it was called the “Grim Reaper Desert” at that time and was feared by many. However, with this magic airship that I built, it would be a breeze to cross this desert.

“It’s really an endless desert huh……”

“Hmm. There’s a monster over there.”

“It’s a hyena monster…… W-wait! Something just jumped out of the sand and it’s so huge!?”

A giant worm-like monster emerged from the hyena’s feet and swallowed it whole, with its huge circular mouth lined with sharp fangs. Then it quickly dived back into the sand.

“That’s a sandworm. It can swim in the sand at a great speed, and although it is blind, it’s very sensitive to sound. It is said that it can react to the sound of a prey walking up to a kilometer away.”

Many travelers have been devoured by sandworms. Of course, like the hyenas mentioned earlier, desert monsters were also its common prey.

Well, those hyenas are called evil hyena, they are by no means just a non-predator. They are sensitive and agile, and at times, they are able to dodge the sandworm’s attacks and they bite into the sandworm’s body, killing and eating it instead.

“Sandworms aren’t the only creatures that hide in the sand. There are other creatures too, like the Sand Anglerfish, which hangs a bag filled with water from the top of its head and eats anything that comes near it. There is also the Desert Anthell, that makes a mortar-shaped depression which traps its prey and prevents it from getting out.”

“……I definitely don’t want to go on foot in a place like this.”

As we continued to fly through the desert, we eventually saw a vast green area ahead of us. At the center of it all is what looks like a lake. At first glance, it looks like a desert oasis, but unfortunately, it’s not that simple. 

—That is the second barrier that had to be crossed to reach the Tower of the Great Sage.

“Jokes aside….”

After safely (?) reuniting with Fana and the others, I made a suggestion.

“After a lot of things that had happened, I found a place I’d like to go to.”

“A place you want to go? Where is it?”

“Well, I found something that looked like a treasure map in the airship used by the thieves. I thought I might as well go there.”

Actually, that’s not the reason. But I can’t tell them the truth, so I’ll keep it a secret first.

『Master, are you perhaps planning on going to the Tower of the Great Sage?』

As Lindwurm pointed out, I nodded my head and replied back via telepathy.

(Yeah. I’m curious about that black magic stone, and above all, I thought I should see what’s going on over there now.)

More than 1,500 years have passed since I died. When I listened to the story in the elven village that worshipped Meltera as the Holy Mother, they didn’t even seem to know that the Tower of the Great Sage existed. The entire organization is probably gone long ago.

Originally, it was my personal laboratory in the previous life, and since it was an organization formed by a group of apprentice applicants, it is natural that it will disappear naturally when I die.

(But I built that tower quite sturdy, and the building itself should still be there.)

It is unlikely that it’s going to collapse in the last year or so. If the building existed, there was a possibility that there was something left inside.

(Now that I think about it, Linlin, where were you lying in hibernation?)

『Unfortunately, I don’t know where exactly I was at. When I sensed Master’s resurrection, I started moving as soon as I woke up. However, I think it was a different place, not the Tower of the Great Sage.』

When I died, Lindwurm should have been kept in the Tower of the Great Sage. In that case, there is a possibility that someone brought Lindwurm out.

“Are you the type of person who’s interested in treasures?”

“Of course I am. I’m interested in gold, silver and treasures.”

“That’s a distasteful baby……”

Despite Anje’s suspicions, Fana and Lill easily agreed. We then set off to the Tower of the Great Sage, where the treasure is. Of course, our means of transportation is the airship. After getting out of the city, I took it out of the subspace.

“Come on, everyone. Get on and get on.”

“Hmm.”

“…… You’re talking as if it’s your own.”

It was originally my ship, and even if it wasn’t, now that I took it from the thieves, it’s now my property.

“T-that, I wonder if there is a hole in there again……?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve already registered you guys in the system so the trap won’t be triggered.”

I informed Lill, who walks fearfully through the ship. It seems that she was quite traumatized when she was dropped from the sky once. 

Then I took them to the wheelhouse.

“You can maneuver here.”

While Fana held me up, I pressed the button on the control panel. Then the airship activated and lifted into the sky.

“Hn, outside-”

“I can see the city below!”

This wheelhouse has a wall that is partly made of glass. Therefore, it is possible to see the ground from the sky.

“By the way, from others view, they can’t see this airship. It’s in stealth mode, you see.”

“That’s amazing Master. You’ve already mastered it huh.”

“As expected of Master.”

Fana and Lill praised me. Of course, that is a given. It was a ship that I built myself after all. So from the start, I knew how to use it.

“Alright, let’s set the destination and depart! Yosh, full speed ahead!”

The ship accelerated vigorously.

“……Okay, now we can just leave it alone. We’ll get there with this ship flying on its own.”

“Whaat!? Can we leave it just like that!?”

“Yeah. Well, depending on the direction of the wind, this airship will fine-tune the direction. When we get closer to our target destination, it will also sound a reminder. It can also automatically repel monsters.”

“Very convenient.”

“But it’s an old model so it can’t defeat average dragons, let alone an ancient dragon.”

“No, that’s more than enough, you know. Moreover, why do you know so much about this ship……?”

Having safely delivered the caravan to its destination and fulfilled the request, Fana and the others returned to Vegaltia.

“Reus-sama is already back.”

When they asked the receptionist, they were informed that Reus has also returned to the city.

“Where is he now?”

“He must still be inside the guild.”

The group decided to search for Reus. However, the Adventurer’s Guild is quite large, and it can be troublesome if they just randomly search for him.

“Leave it to me. We just need to follow Master’s scent.”

Lill said so as she sniffs the air. She is now in human form and has the appearance of a beautiful woman, but as Fenrir, she possesses a sense of smell that is several times stronger than that of a human.

“This way.”

Lill led the way, and the group came to the tavern. It’s a tavern that is opened inside the Adventurer’s Guild building. It is already crowded with adventurers even though it’s still early.

“Master is probably in there.”

“Here? In a tavern? Why would a baby be in the tavern!? -Uh, well, it’s unusual for a baby to be inside the Adventurer’s Guild in the first place.”

However, when they looked around the tavern, they couldn’t find the figure of the person they are looking for.

“Is he really here?”

“It should be. But…… Hiccup- uu-.”

“……?”

For some reason, Lill’s face turned red. Her eyes were beamy, apparently, she was drunk just by the smell of alcohol that filled the tavern.

“Fenrir is not good with alcohol……?”

Dragging Lill, who is now unreliable, with them, Fana and Anje searched the tavern thoroughly. When they asked an adventurer who is drinking on the side, they got to know that there is a private room in this tavern.

“A baby adventurer? Ah, I think he went in that room. But more than that, ladies, why don’t you drink with me? I’ll buy you drinks.”

“Thank you for letting us know, but we’ll pass on the drinks.”

“Wh~y? That’s cold of you, hiccup-.”

Dismissing the drunk guy, the three of them made it to the front of a private room. When they opened the door, they saw—

“Hiyaaaahaha~! This is boobs heaveeeeennn!”

What appeared before them is the appearance of a baby who is surrounded by the breasts of three beautiful women. He is also screaming with an ecstatic face.

“Goodness, Reus really likes breasts huh. Well, they say heroes love women. For a baby like you to love a woman’s body at this age, you’re indeed a hero in the making.”

“Ufufu~, thank you for saving our lives. You can enjoy them to your hearts content~.”

“Mmm, this is a small price to pay.”

Perhaps a little drunk, the three beautiful women who held Reus in a triangle sandwich had flushed faces. They are probably a few years older than Fana and Anje. The fact that they are drinking in this tavern meant that they are likely adventurers as well. But Fana and the others haven’t met them before.

“…… Master, what are you doing?”

“Hey, you! What are you doing in a place like this!?”

“Ah?”

When they called out, Reus finally noticed them and his cheeks twitched.

“Uh-uhm…… A reward? W-wai-?”

Anje grabbed Reus by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up. The three beauties could only freeze in fear seeing the murderous look on the A-rank adventurer’s face.

“This isn’t a place for a baby, you know? Let’s go home!”

　　　◇◇◇

I was having a great time playing with three beautiful women but Anje and the others found me. As I was forcibly pulled away, I involuntarily let out a wail.

“Aah, farewell my beloved triangle boobies……”

I had rescued these three beautiful adventurers from a group of orcs. They told me that they should do something for me to thank me. As I was thinking about what to ask, I realized that all three of them had wonderful breasts.

『But what is triangle boobies?』

(I must have been drunk.)

『Master, you didn’t even drink a drop, you know?』

And then I realized something. Fana, Anje, and Lill also had breasts as big as the three women before.

“Could this be the return of triangle boobies…..?”

“We’re not doing it!”

I used magic to turn the Meltera statue’s modest breasts into huge ones. I’m sure she’s very satisfied with this in the afterlife.

(She might think I did something unnecessary, though.)

Moreover, by using a different material from the other parts, the softness of the breast was also reproduced. In the end, although it was not possible to fondle the real thing in the previous life, I should have managed to get pretty close.

『…… I’m sure she’s enraged.』

“No, no. She must be so happy that she is crying tears of joy now.”

『You mean, dead man tell no tales……right?』

“Oh well, let talk about this magic stone that I’m curious about.”

Inside the airship, I pulled out a huge black magic stone from my subspace. In fact, in exchange for the small reward in the task, I was given some of the rare and valuable Ancient Treant materials and this is included in that.

Magic stone is a stone that contains a lot of magical power and is usually colored in blue, green or purple. It is often generated in the body of a monster and it is not strange that magic stones are found in the body of Ancient Treant.

“The problem is that this magic stone is the kind that can never be born from Ancient Treant. Or rather, this black magic stone doesn’t naturally arise in the first place.”

A type of magic stone that can only be artificially created. That’s what this black magic stone is.

“As expected, it’s the first one I created in the previous life.”

This black magic stone, which was successfully developed after much researh on magic stone, has a number of properties that are different from ordinary magic stones. But when I realized how dangerous it was, I stopped manufacturing it and I had gotten rid of everything I had in stock.

“When a monster eats this, it will grow rapidly. So much so that it evolves into its high-ranking species in a short period of time.”

『Does that mean that a treant became an Ancient Treant by absorbing this black magic stone into its body?』

“Mmm, that’s for sure. I thought it was odd. With the level of magical power in that area, it is highly unlikely that Ancient Treants would be born.”

“But why on earth was this black magic stone in such a place ……?”

『Maybe someone gave it to that treant?』

“Even if that’s the case, why did he have this magic stone? ……Or, maybe there was something left behind from the things I got rid off?”

I was running the airship on autopilot while pondering this big question. Then suddenly, a beep beep beep sound echoed in the wheelhouse.

“It looks like there’s something on the ground.”

Peeking through the glass on the floor, I saw a group of orcs. They surrounded a trio of adventurers.

“Hmmm, they are going to get killed if they stay like that.”

◇◇◇

“Haa- haa-…… How could we encounter a herd of orcs in a place like this!”

“Ugh. I have run out of stamina and healing items!”

“Escaping doesn’t seem possible either….”

Surrounded by five orcs, a group of female adventurers who had only recently been promoted to C rank were in a pinch. The all-female trio was a typical group consisting of a swordsman, a magician, and a thief. 

A single orc, rated as danger level C, would not be too difficult for a party of C-rank adventurers to deal with, but five of them at once would be a completely different story. Moreover, they had already reached the peak of their fatigue on their way back from destroying the goblin’s den which was the request they’ve taken.

“We’ll just get killed if we keep fighting like this! We have no choice but to break through and escape!”

“I-it’s all or nothing!”

“I don’t want to die yet.”

And that’s when it happened. 

—Suddenly, a fireball came out of nowhere and struck one of the orcs, sending its head popping off.

“W-what was that just now!?”

“Maybe it’s reinforcements!?”

“Great! We are now safe, right?”

Then they turned their gaze in the direction from which the fireball had fallen, and what they saw—

“…… Am I seeing things wrong? I …… I think I just saw a baby is floating in the air….”

“What a coincidence…… I can see the same thing.”

“It’s unmistakably a real baby.”

What they saw was a baby only a few months old.

“Oh, right!”

Ryuna clapped her hands as if she had thought of something.

“There is a statue of Holy Mother standing in the village.”

“Heh~”

“Since you’ve come all this way, you may as well say a prayer.”

She takes me to the statue of Meltera. The village was in a terrible state due to the Ancient Treant, but the statue standing in the central square remained unscatched. When I came to the statue, I couldn’t help but mutter.

“……It looks exactly like her.”

It was the spitting image of the real her that I knew. The narrow eyes, the smooth bridge of the nose, and the slightly thin lips are all recreated to a high level.

“Eh? ……Exactly alike?”

I shook my head at Ryuna, who looked at me curiously.

“No. I said she is very beautiful.”

“I know, right?”

Ryuna’s eyes light up, looking proud.

“In fact, it is said that this statue is a faithful replica of the Holy Mother herself! She is truly beautiful!”

Elves are a beautiful race in general, but Meltera was in a class of her own. Statues like this are often made more beautiful than the actual person, but in her case, there was no need for that.

—Except for one. There was one thing about this Meltera statue that I wanted to loudly protest to the creator. Her breasts are waaay smaller than the real thing!

Unbelievably, those wonderful breasts have not been reproduced at all. In fact, they are even more modest, so no matter how identical her face is, she is a completely different person to Meltera. It lacks a true point of view. It’s amusing how “faithfully” they managed to create this.

Is the creator an idiot? Or is he blind?

I’m sure it was one of the two.

『Perhaps elves have a sense of value that says that smaller breasts are better. In that case, it would be inconvenient for an elf who is considered the Holy Mother to have large breasts.』

(……What a terrible sense of value!)

While I’m raging, Ryuna, who had no idea what was going on with me, is praying intently.

“Holy Mother…… with your guidance, we are able to save the village…… Thank you from the bottom of my heart…… Please continue to protect us……”

……Well, maybe it was really her guidance that led me to come to this elven village, a place that has a connection with Meltera.

After that, with a great deal of gratitude from the elves, I left the village.

　　　　◇◇◇

“Nevertheless, there is an amazing baby in this world huh……”

“Yeah. Just him being able to speak is already amazing, but to think that he can kill an Ancient Torrent in an instant is really…..”

“I’m impressed that Ryuna was able to bring someone like him here……”

After seeing the baby adventurer off, the elves looked up at the sky, still unable to believe that it was real. Just as when he had appeared, he naturally flew back into the air.

“I mean, this is not a dream, is it……?”

“Do you mean to say that everyone in the village had same dream?”

“Maybe it was a dream from that Treant….…”

“Then how can you explain the state of our village?”

When they returned their gaze to the ground, they saw a number of houses destroyed by the Giant Treant. Faced by such scene, the elves nodded with a wry smile, realizing that it was definitely a reality.

“Oh noooooo!”

At that moment, they heard someone screaming.

“H-Holy Mother…… The statue of the Holy Mother is—!”

“““The statue of the Holy Mother?”””

The elves are sure that it would not be destroyed by the Treant and was safe. Still, they hurried to double check and what they saw was—

―The statue of Holy Mother with an oversized chest.

“““W-wh-whaat the hell is thiiiissss!?”””

The elves screamed involuntarily.

Unbelievably, the Holy Mother’s breasts, which were originally modest, had now transformed into huge breasts that looked as if they might spill out at any moment.

　　　　◇◇◇

『…… Master. Was it okay to do that?』

(To faithfully reproduce the real thing—that goal has been realized after hundreds of years. I think they should be grateful to me, don’t you think so?)

“A-adventurer!? That baby…..!?”

“That’s right, elf-niisan.”

The elves stared at me intently.

“More importantly, who is Holy Mother?”

They have been mentioning “Holy Mother” countless times before. There was no such being in my previous life who could be referred like that by the elves.

“Holy Mother Meltera is a hero and a savior of us elves.”

“Meltera……?”

It’s a name I’ve heard before. Well, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were elves with the same name. 

Ryuna further explained,

“Holy Mother Meltera is the one who evolved into a High Elf, the higher race of us elves. She has created places around the world where elves can live in peace, and this village is one of them.”

Meltera, a High Elf. There’s no doubt about it. She is one of my disciples in the previous life.

I once set up a private laboratory to devote myself to magical research. However, magicians who wanted to become my apprentice rushed there one after another, and before I knew it, it had become a large-scale magic research base. The organization that came to be known as the Tower of the Great Sage was organized by one of my old disciples, the high elf Meltera.

(Mmm, she had big breasts, which is unusual for an elf.)

『…… Is that the first thing you remember?』

Could it be that her breasts have become bigger because she evolved into a high elf?

If that’s the case, I’d like to see the elves evolve into high elves.

(Speaking of that, I was planning to enjoy those breasts before I died. I thought that since I was about to die, she would definitely fulfill my wishes. Hmm, what happened to that, again? Somehow, I only remember the moment I asked for it……)

『You don’t remember? Let me tell you, she was so enraged that she punched you. Then you took your last breath.』

(Eh? Seriously? T-there’s no way, right….…?)

As I was shivering all over, Lindwurm followed up,

『No matter how you look at it, that was Master’s fault. Besides, you were on the verge of dying anyway, so I don’t think it’s right to blame her.』

(In the end, I couldn’t enjoy those boobs? I can’t believe it….. That’s too muuuccchhh!)

『……Is that something to lament about?』

As I shed tears of blood in my heart, Lindwurm looks at me with disdain.

“The powerful barrier that Holy Mother put up to ward off monsters is still in place to this day, even though it has already been thousand years ago. Isn’t that amazing? ……Uh-, it didn’t work for that giant treant, though.”

Hmmm, there is indeed a barrier around this village.

Was this built by Meltera?

It’s a barrier of a level that would have been difficult for her to create back then. I’m sure she continued to study and train magic after I died.

“Ryuna-oneechan, what is Holy Mother doing now?”

“I heard that she died nearly a thousand years ago, but that only applies to her physical body. The soul of a high elf is considered immortal after all. I’m sure she’s still watching over us somewhere.”

Is the soul of a high elf immortal?

Well, I suppose that’s just some form of faith.

(……I guess she already passed away huh. Of all my apprentices, the only one I thought might still be alive is her. High elves are said to live longer than the elves after all.)

At the time of my death, she was already over a hundred years old, but in human terms, she would only still be around 10 years old at most. Elves live about five times as long as the average human, but high elves live ten times as long as the average human, that is, about 600~700 years.

『Master, have you perhaps forgotten my existence?』

Lindwurm says such a thing to comfort me.

(Linlin doesn’t have boobs.)

『……Should I kill you?』

Anyways, even if she had lived to this age, she would already be an old woman now. In that case, the story changes.

(Shriveled boobs are not really boobs after all.)

『I knew it! You are definitely the worst perverted old man. 』

The Ancient Treant was defeated, and just when the elves thought the crisis was over, a new threat has befallen them. The branches and leaves seemed to move with their own independent will, they separated from the fallen main body and turned into countless treants. Like cuttings, they have reproduced asexually.

“W-what a number!?”

“……T-they are still increasing in number! What if all those branches and leaves become treants!?”

Moreover, it was not only branches and leaves who became a new monster. One by one, the roots of the Ancient Treant also begin to move on their own. A slit formed at the tip, transforming into a mouth with sharp fangs. Then, before they knew it, a large snake made of roots are now appearing all over the place. Of course, there were still many insect monsters left.

“……T-this time, it’s our end….”

“There is no way you can defeat such a large number of monsters……”

“N-no! It’s too early to give up! Holy Mother is watching over us! A miracle may happen again! …..Let’s fight until the end and not give up!”

In the midst of such desperate situation, the elves somehow managed to pull themselves together.

And that’s when it happened.

“Tracking type Wide-Area Extermination Magic!”

The mysterious human baby appeared from the sky. He raised a staff that is modeled after a dragon and then countless light bullets were released from it. One after another, the light bullets hit the leaf and branch treants, root serpents and insect-type monsters. As if it had chosen only the monsters, all the light bullets neatly dodged the elves in the area.

“““…… Huh?”””

The elves can only stand dumbfounded at such unbelievable sight. Eventually, when the light subsided completely, all the monsters were motionless.

“H-hey…… If I’m not mistaken, it looked like the light was emanating from that baby……”

“……It’s as he had said.”

“That means……”

At this point, they finally begin to wonder if it was the mysterious baby who saved them. The meteorite from earlier also fell at the same time the baby appeared. It is hard to think that there is no connection to the two.

“.….It wasn’t Holy Mother……?”

Then, a new figure falls from the sky. It was a girl that the elves knew well.

“Everyone! Are you all safe!?”

“““Ryuna!?”””

She is a fellow elf who left to save the village, saying that she would seek the help of humans. Many of them hate humans. As a result, many objected on her idea as they want to keep the location of this village unknown to humans. However, she ignored the opposition of those around her and left the village on her own.

“So you’re back……”

“……Why from the sky?”

“I mean, …… you could fly?”

　　　◇◇◇

=Reus’ POV=

(I never thought that it could breed like that.)

Just when I thought that I had defeated the Ancient Treant by breaking the trunk with two meteorites, a large number of countless monsters sprang out of its body. Even I was a little surprised, but I immediately used a wide-area extermination spell to annihilate them.

『Compared to when you used it on the goblin horde before, it’s much more powerful now. 』

(Fufun, babies grow up fast you see.)

『I am firmly opposed to the inclusion of Master in the category of babies. 』

By the way, who is the “Holy Mother” that the elves have been talking about?

“.….It wasn’t Holy Mother……?”

No matter how I look at it, I’m a cute little baby. 

And then, Ryuna fell from the sky.

“Everyone! Are you all safe!?”

“““Ryuna!?”””

When Ryuna landed on the ground, she runs up to me.

“Thank you very much! I never thought that you could really save the village from peril so easily all by yourself ….…”

“More than that, I’m glad we made it just in time Oneechan.”

“Y-you’re right. If we had moved normally, the village would have been gone……”

The elves were dumbfounded for a while but one of them opened his mouth timidly.

“Ryuna…… do you know…..that weird human baby?”

Hey! That’s disrespectful of you calling me weird, you know!

“Uh-uhm…… Let me introduce him. This is Reus-san, an A-rank adventurer. Despite the sudden request, he accepted the request and came all the way to this village.”

“A-adventurer!? That baby…..!?”

Suddenly, a blazing meteorite fell from the sky and hit the trunk of the Ancient Treant. An enormous explosion echoed out, followed by a blast of intense hot wind.

“““Aaaaaaahhh!”””

Many of the elves were blown away, they rolled across the ground multiple times.

“……W-what happened?”

“It was a meteorite! A meteorite fell from the sky……!”

“……C-could it be that my prayers were answered?”

They saw that the arrows they fired had barely made a scratch on the bark of the tree, but a huge crater had been created where the meteorite had hit.

“~~~~~~~~~~~~!?”

Flames are spreading from there, and the Ancient Treant is frantically trying to extinguish the fire by waving its branches and leaves.

“I-It’s Holy Mother!”

Someone shouted.

“Holy Mother has heard my prayers! It must be so! It would be impossible for a meteorite to fall from the sky like this!”

“That’s right! It’s Holy Mother!”

“She saved us from the brink of danger!”

“““Holy Mother! Holy Mother! Holy Mother!”””

The elves cried out in tears in gratitude. Then as they were rejoicing, another thing fell from the sky. This time, it was much smaller than the meteorite from earlier.

“Holy Mother? As you can see, I’m still a baby though.”

It was a small human baby. And if they did not misheard, he is speaking their language.

“““Eh?”””

The elves were shocked, wondering who on earth is the baby in front of them is. As they are thinking so, the giant roots growing out of the ground began to wriggle again.

“Aaaaaaahhh!”

“Uh-! D-don’t tell me it’s still alive?!”

“The fire is out!”

Before they knew it, the giant treant had extinguished the flames on its trunk. Smoke is still rising from its scorched parts, but it is moving its roots again and is now trying to destroy the elven village once more.

“As expected of an Ancient Treant. I can’t defeat it with one shot huh. In that case, one more shot.”

A few seconds after the mysterious baby floating in the air muttered to himself, another meteorite fell from the sky.

Dooooooooon!

Then, as if on cue, it hits the trunk of the Ancient Treant.

“…… Holy Mother struck another meteorite?”

“Yeah…. That’s the only explanation! At least, there’s no way that it was that weird baby who did it! ……T-that should be the case.”

“But, what is with that baby……?”

The elves were baffled. On the other hand, the Ancient Treant, which was hit by a second meteorite in almost the same place, had its trunk cut in half, and it looked like it could break at any time.

“Aaaaa…… Aaaaa……”

A groaning sound can be heard from the hollow of the trunk. Just when the elves thought that this would be the end of it,

Creak! Crack! Crack! Crack!

The giant treant made a tremendous breaking sound as the trunk finally broke and it is now falling down.

……Towards the elven village.

“H-hey, it’s falling this way!!?”

“““Get out of the waaaaayyyy!!!”””

The elves fled left and right in a panic. The giant treant fell down in a large scale, crushing and taking several houses with it.

“……Oh my~. I should have thought about the direction in which it was going to fall.”

The mysterious baby slapped his forehead with his hand. In any case, the speed of the fall was slow, so it seems that no one was crushed underneath. Some of the houses have been crushed, but they can be rebuilt.

“A-are we….. saved?”

“No, not yet! There are still many insect monsters.”

“But they are only insects!”

The elves begin to wipe out the remaining insect monsters. But their crisis was not over yet.

“Hmm? What’s going on? The branches and leaves of the Ancient Treant are making noises……?”

“Hey! It’s moving! No way, it’s not dead yet?!”

“N-no…… This is ….…”

The branches and leaves of the Ancient Treant began to move with their own independent will. Apparently, from that one giant treant, countless treants are reproduced asexually.
