Chapter 237: The Land of Elves part 7

He's really persistent. More than scared, I'm annoyed. Why am I afraid of him? Is it because I don't want to make his family member sad? I'm pretty sure that's the only reason, but looking at Grandma Farhah's reaction every time she sees or hears about his ex-husband

"We can't go to the altar"

"Then how the hell can a human girl do it?"

"Because I am the guest of the World Tree" [Diana].

"Should we really stop her?"

"Should you?" [Farhah]

"Urgh..."

"Of course, we can't just let outsiders defile our important sanctuary. We can't allow the sacred realm to be defiled" [Iligast].

"Am I dirty? I bathe every day..." [Diana]

"No, you're not" [Farhah]

That makes me sad. I'm sure I take good care of my hygiene. Unlike when I was in Aru Village, where I couldn't take care of my hygiene properly, now I make sure to bathe at least twice a day! I'm pretty sure I'm not dirty enough for him to worry about.

As I look at him, angrily telling me to step back, I feel angry again. He's really annoying. My plan to just hit him without a care in the world keeps playing in my head... or...

"Why are you smiling creepily?" [Farhah]

"O World Tree, hear my request, please get that noisy guy out of here" [Diana].

Since I can hear a voice coming from a World Tree, I'm pretty sure it can respond to my request. I don't know if there's a step or a prayer or something to do, so while I'm doing this, I'm just sincerely hoping that it will respond. I'm one hundred percent sure it will, and

"What is this?" [Iligast]

"The flowers are attacking the Councilman!"

"There's no magic involved! What have you done?" [Iligast]

"I just asked the World Tree" [Diana]

"That's bad of you" [Farhah]

"Sorry... I should tell you first" [Diana]

"It's okay. This should prove that you are indeed the guest" [Farhah].

The flowers and now the trees keep attacking him. I'm guessing because my intonation isn't serious, so the World Tree feels like it shouldn't even take this seriously. It's just a guess, so I should ask the World Tree

"Can't we just go through the door?" [Diana]

"Let us just enter today" [Farhah].

"Madam World Tree Priestess!?"

"But the Council..."

"Do you want to deny what you have seen, or do you want to continue to lie when all the evidence has been presented to you?"

"We..."

"It's all right. Guard, let them in. I'll take full responsibility" [Farhana].

"Farhana!" [Iligast]

"Yay!" [Diana]

"My daughter is really reliable!" [Farhah]

I'm sure he's going to yell at Sister Farhana, so before that happens, I ask the trees to stuff his mouth with their leaves. They did just that. Now his anger is directed at me. He's weak, but he has power in this kingdom. Let us pray that nothing serious happens. Hmm...

"World Tree, Grandma Farhah, can't Sister Farhana enter as well?" [Diana]

"Let's just ask permission for her this one time" [Farhah].

Grandma Farhah asks the World Tree and when we get an answer, I quickly take Sister Farhana's hand and lead her to the door. I don't want her to be scolded by her father, so I wanted her to enter with us. Even she's surprised that she can enter the altar and have a chance to see the World Tree. Apparently, this is her first time. Understandable. Most elves go through their lives without ever seeing the tree.

"SO BIG!" [Diana].

"You see it every day..." [Farhana]

"Impressive, isn't it?" [Farhah]

"Words can't describe it..." [Farhana]

"Ahh! Are you the owner of the voice just now?" [Diana]

"I am, welcome, child blessed by fairies" [?]

"Blessed by fairies!?" [Farhana]

"That's one secret out... never mind, I trust Sister Farhana!" [Diana]

Looking at the beautiful owner of the beautiful voice, it's a...

"Are you a Dyrad or an Alraune?" [Diana]

"DIANA!" [Farhana]

"This is the same question Farhah once asked me when she first entered this realm. I am a Dyrad. To be more precise, I am the Queen of Dyrad" [Queen of Dyrad].

The World Tree is big! I'm sure it's bigger than any mountain I've ever seen. I'm not sure how it will compare to Mount Olympus, but it will be interesting. Its leaves glow brightly. Its aroma is even more pleasant than sweet honey. The grass and flowers surrounding it surpass even those found in the fairy spring. As for the queen of Dyrad, she's a beauty like the fairy queen Titania and the beauty fairy Aidna! Her hair is made of thorny vines from which flowers of a pleasing color sprout. Her clothes give the same aura as those given to me by the fairies. Her eyes are mesmerizing. We share the same blue color eyes, but I'm sure mine are nowhere near her beauty.
