Aldred and the others chatted with the spirit tree some more and even stocked some of her spirit fruits.
"Well, we have to continue our journey now. It was nice meeting you," Aldred said.
"It's nice to meet you too!" The wooden girl hugged him like a child, and giggled. "Thanks to you, now I can explore the world."
Aldred caressed her head. "Be careful out there, okay. Don't trust in strangers. The world has its beauty, but it also has its ugly side."
The wooden girl nodded.
"Wait. I have some treasures that can protect you." Aldred gave her a bunch of weapons, trinkets, and lastly a necklace.
"This necklace will change your appearance. Make sure no one can take it from you." Aldred put the necklace on her, and her wooden skin turned into that of a human. This transformation happened to her whole body. Her hair, eyes, nose, lips, and everything else looked very much like human. She even had the same facial structure and facial expressions.
