……Naked.

 

“Fuwaa~ …ah, it’s been years since I woke up in this world~… u~nn… I’m so stiff~”

 

Just when I thought the seed of the world tree had finally turned into a sapling, before I could even wake up from my excitement, a naked little girl suddenly appeared in front of me…

 

EEHHHHH?!!

 

No, wait a minute, what kind of situation is this?!

 

“Husband?”

 

“O-Ou?”

 

As I was struggling to understand the situation, Demiurge suddenly called out to me.

 

“This one is a spirit of the World Tree, and her name is Yggdrasil.
You can think of her as a sister to me.”

 

“I-Is that so… I see…”

 

No… 

 

No, no, no! I can’t understand her at all from that intro?!

 

I don’t even know what a『 Spirit of the World Tree 』is!

 

Hmm? Wait a minute.

 

But I’m pretty sure I’ve heard the term Spirit of the World Tree somewhere before…

 

I believe…

 

Ah, when the Titan attacked us before, I believe it was Demiurge who said?

 

『 Titan must have learned about the seed from the【 Spirit of the World Tree 】.
』

 

Yes, she did.
That’s what she said.

 

At the time, I didn’t have the time to find out what it was, so I just let it go.

 

“Yggdrasil, let me introduce you.
This is Ares.
He’s helping me to grow you into a great tree.”

 

“Fufu, I know you~ Demiurge’s… Dee-chan’s husband, right~.
Nice to meet you.
I’m Yggdrasil, the Spirit of the World Tree.
Nice to meet you, A-kun.” ¹

 

“A-Ahh… Nice to meet you.”

 

A, A-kun… so frank all of a sudden.

 

She also called Demiurge “Dee-chan,”… and she seems to be very friendly, doesn’t she?

 

“Yggdrasil, don’t call me that Dee-chan, it’s too childish.”

 

“Ehhh! Dee-chan is Dee-chan! That’s what I used to call you.”

 

“You’re the spirit of the world tree, the heart of the world… You should have more dignity…”

 

“I don’t need that! And if you’re talking about dignity, then Dee-chan, who is so sweetly spoiled by A-kun, is much more… even last night, it was still there.”

 

“Aahh geez, I understand! That’s enough! You can call me Dee-chan or whatever you want!”

 

“I’ll do it even if you don’t tell me~”

 

“Really… you haven’t changed at all since…”

 

“Ehehe~, come on, don’t give me that compliment~”

 

“That’s not a compliment!”

 

Oh, that Demiurge is being completely pushed around.

 

The mysterious atmosphere that I had for Demiurge when I first met her has completely disappeared from my mind.

 

In a sense, this is the result of increased intimacy, but the Demiurge I met now made me feel at ease, as if I were dealing with a real family member.

 

We can talk to each other without hesitation.
In the exchange that was unfolding in front of me, I could see her absolute trust in the other person.

 

But as for me, let me say these words first.

 

―――Yggdrasil and all, put some clothes on!

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

“Really~ Dee-chan, you’re as stiff as ever…”

 

“You’re too unrestrained!”

 

“Ehh~? That’s not true~”

 

Afterward, Yggdrasil, who had her clothes created by Demiurge, is still happily chatting with Demiurge.

 

Yggdrasil is innocent and unrestrained.

 

Anyway, Yggdrasil laughs a lot.
To put it another way, she seemed to enjoy teasing Demiurge.

 

The four great demons and I are watching the two of them from a distance.

 

“That’s Yggdrasil-sama… the spirit of the great tree that has existed with mother since the creation of this world…”

 

“But she and Demiurge-sama don’t have the same personality at all.”

 

“Yes… although they look somewhat similar… in contrast…”

 

“……This is my first time, seeing the World Tree… in person…”

 

Dragon God, Phoenix, and Behemoth seem to have never met Yggdrasil before.

 

Of the four great demons, Titan was the only one who had exchanged words with Yggdrasil, but she narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms, looking somewhat unamused.

 

“Hello~, you are the four great demons Demiurge mentioned, right? It’s nice to meet you, except for Titan.
I’m Yggdrasil.
I’m looking forward to working with you~!”

 

Before we knew it, Yggdrasil was approaching us.

 

In the back is Demiurge, who looks exhausted.

 

“I-I’m looking forward to working with you! Yggdrasil-sama!”

 

“Ahaha, you must be Phoenix.
You don’t have to be so awkward~ You can call me『 Yu~chan 』more casually! In return, I’ll call you Fu~chan too.” ²

 

“S-Such thing! That’s too much!”

 

“My… Fu~chan is so stiff! Relax, relax, relax!”

 

“H-Hauuuu…”

 

“Yggdrasil.
Don’t embarrass her too much.”

 

“Puu~……Oh well.
You’ll just have to get used to it.
So, Fu~chan, it’s nice to meet you again~”

 

“Y-Yes!”

 

Phoenix grasps Yggdrasil’s hand with both hands, looking nervous.
She is already completely tense.

 

“Then~ You’re a Behemoth, right?”

 

“Yes…”

 

“I see I see! Umm, you’re Behemoth, so Be~chan… That’s not very cute… Right! Then He~chan! That’s the one! Then, best regards~!”

 

“Best regards~”

 

As for Behemoth, she was handling it at her own pace.

 

She looked at Yggdrasil with sleepy eyes and raised one hand in response.

 

“U~mu… you look like you don’t really know what you’re thinking! It’s kind of funny!”

 

“I see…? Am I being complimented…?”

 

“Of course!”

 

“Ya-y…”

 

…What’s with this strange exchange?

 

Is this what happens when two slow-paced people talk to each other?

 

On the one hand, there’s Behemoth, who immediately wants to mate with me, and on the other hand, there’s Yggdrasil, who plays with Demiurge.

 

The two of them seem to be on some kind of strange wavelength.

 

“Then then, you’re the Dragon God?”

 

“Yes, that’s right, Aunt.”

 

“Aunt?! Ehh?! Do I look that old?!”

 

“I’ve heard that you and mother are like sisters, and as far as I’m concerned, aunt is the best fit… Um, is that no?”

 

“Ehh~… um~mm… indeed, in terms of relationship, I may be your aunt~… mm~mm, aunt…”

 

“Err, if you don’t like it, I can call you something else…”

 

“Nuh-uh! No problem! I’m your aunt! That’s kind of refreshing too! And since you’re a dragon god, I’ll call you Ryuu-chan! Nice to meet you! ³

 

“Yes, it’s nice to meet you, Auntie.”

 

However, the atmosphere of the two is different from the previous three, and there was a heavy atmosphere in the air.

 

“Long time no see, Titan.
It seems like a lot has happened since then.
I got all the mana back that you took with you.
I know I should be angry, but thanks to you, the new me was able to wake up like this… Thank you,『Ta-chan 』♪.”

 

“What? You, what the hell are you…… mm?”

 

She lowered her gaze and began to think about something.

  

 

After a while, she gave an “ah” expression as if she had realized something and started scratching her gray hair.

 

“Tsk… Damn… that’s what you’re talking about… you fucking spirit…”

 

“Wait?! Titan! How dare you speak like that to Yggdrasil-sama!”

 

“It’s okay, Fu~chan, it doesn’t bother me that much.
But~… why did I get a tongue lashing~? Also, it’s really rude to curse on older people you know~?”

 

Yggdrasil shushes Phoenix, who raises her voice to admonish Titan for their bad attitude.

 

Titan’s face twisted in displeasure, and she turned her gaze away from Yggdrasil and clicked her tongue again.

 

However, Yggdrasil didn’t seem offended and just smiled.

 

That’s what makes it all the weirder to me.

 

Annoyed, Titan lifted her eyebrows and glared at Yggdrasil.

 

“You took advantage of me, didn’t you…?”

 

“Mm~? What are you talking about?”

 

“You dumb World Tree… you used me to be your mana carrier!”

 

When Titan said this with a hint of irritation, Yggdrasil’s expression changed from a friendly smile to a somewhat nasty grin.

 

“Ah, you noticed.
Haha, for someone who looks so dumb, you’re not completely stupid, are you?”

 

“Tsk, so that’s what you mean.
That means I’ve been playing right into your hands.”

 

“Hmm? What do you mean, Yggdrasil?”

 

“Err, actually~”

 

Demiurge asked, and Yggdrasil began to explain what the words meant.
