wanted to go right away, but Mero told her she couldn’t go there in her dirty state, so she took a bath first.

“I am not dirty.”

She had the relics to keep her clean, but after spending ten days in the World Tree, maybe she did appear unclean.
Anyway, she washed up and headed straight to Ash.

Upon arriving there, she knocked on the door.

“Sister! I am here!”

“Sarah?”

A slightly startled voice came, and the door opened.
Ash looked at Sarah with wide eyes.

“When did you return?!”

Ash, who hadn’t heard of Sarah coming back, couldn’t help but be surprised at her sudden presence.

“Come inside.”

She couldn’t keep a guest outside, so she let Sarah in first.

“What happened? I haven’t heard that you were coming back.”

“It hasn’t been that long.
Most of the others don’t know I have returned either.
I came down here right after work.”

“I see.
How are you? Can the World Tree be saved?”

“That…”

Sarah told Ash what she had told Hiyan.

Ash, who had heard everything, didn’t understand it, but she didn’t ask anything as it wasn’t something she could involve herself in.

“You worked hard.”

“No.
Rather, how is Sister?”

“Still asleep.
Let us go see her.”

The two of them went up to Rebecca’s room on the second floor.


Rebecca was still as asleep as the last time.

With a cooing sound of breathing, her chest was moving up and down.

“You don’t know when she will wake up?”

“Yes.
Do not worry.
This is what happens when she uses the Spirit King’s power.
She used it more than usual this time, so it’s not strange for her to be asleep for a long time.
She will wake up.”

“I am glad, then….”

“Rather, what will you do next? I think I will be here until Sister wakes up.
What about the Ran race?”

Since Sarah was with the Rans, Ash assumed they would be moving together, but her answer shocked Ash.

“I am thinking of seeing my brother.”

“To Jamie?”

“I have a reason to meet Brother, either publicly or privately.”

She and Sarah had talked a lot about the World Tree but nothing about Jamie.

They all avoided any topics related to Jamie.
However, Sarah herself brought up the topic for the first time.

“You seem determined.”

“It isn’t like that.
I am just going to meet my family.”

“Right.
Just family.
Right, he is family.”

“It is strange that I hadn’t met him for this long.
I just want to do something natural.”

Something natural.

Ash thought that was the right answer.
A family should be comfortable with each other.

A broken one couldn’t be happy.
So Sarah chose the expression ‘natural’ to maintain that happiness.

Ash found her expression very odd.

“When will you leave?”

“I want to leave as soon as possible.”

Ra had noticed her presence.

She didn’t have time to relax, and today might be the last day she can relax.

Sarah got up.

“Since I have seen you both, I will go now.”

“Food? If you haven’t eaten yet, we can eat together.”

“They prepared it separately.
I want to eat there.”

“Right.
You worked hard, so you need to have something delicious.
Enjoy your meal.”

“Sister, too, eat on time.
Or come with me.”

“No.
I don’t know when she will wake up, so I will stay by her side.”


“Then let’s meet tomorrow.”

Sarah said goodbye and went out to where the meal was prepared.
Even if it wasn’t a festival gathering, people gathered, ate, and drank.

Sarah had fun after a long time.

It was a noisy place for her, who couldn’t drink, but she still enjoyed it.
And the day lasted until late.

Early morning.

Sarah was ready to move early.

She went to bed late, but now she was at a level where she didn’t have to worry about sleep, so she wasn’t tired or had anything to worry about.

“You were planning to leave right away.”

At that time, light particles shone, and Hiyan walked through them, making Sarah look surprised.

“Miss Hiyan.”

“I came here because I thought you would leave without saying anything.
And I was right.”

As Hiyan said, Sarah was planning to leave quietly.
It was because she was worried staying any longer would make Ra hurt them as well.

So she planned on leaving alone, but Hiyan caught her.

“I don’t know what made you so impatient, but give me a minute.”

“What brings you here… Is it about the World Tree?”

“Yes.
I have something to show you.”

“To me?”

“Follow me.”

Hiyan put her hand on Sarah’s arm, and the entire scenery changed as her body floated in the air.

They were in a huge library that had the scent of old wood.

The structure of the library was amazing, but the reason for expressing it as such was due to the number of books.

And when Sarah looked around curiously, HIyan said,

“What I am going to show you now is something that has been handed down to the managers of the World Tree.
And it is natural for outsiders to have never seen this.”

“Then why are you…”

“Because I heard it yesterday.
You said you knew the way, but you don’t know how to do it?”

“Yes.”

“Perhaps you will find out how here.
And…”

Hiyan looked at Sarah and said,

“Maybe the slumbering old God might wake up.”

TL/N: It’s like she knows what to do, but she cannot put a finger on it. ↩️
