Eat The World Tree

My lower part felt cool when exposed to the outside air.

‘Who would’ve thought I’d do this of my own volition. Just a month ago, I’d have convulsions just looking at trees.’

This state of mine was because I got committed lewd acts to a tree. No matter how foolish I was, I was not the type to repeat the same mistake twice.

['World Tree of Purity' fervently opposes! This is infidelity!]

For the first time in a while, the World Tree of Purity was making a fuss.

‘Infidelity my ass. How many women do I have?’

The tree should at least show its face if it wants to make a fuss about it.

‘On paper, Shiba’s mother in South Korea is Jin Dallae, you fool.’

[(Huff) 'World Tree of Purity' opens its eyes wide.]

Still, thanks to that, I was fortunate not to be looked down upon as a noble tree anywhere.

‘Let’s be realistic. Don’t you know I’m doing this because you keep hiding your identity?’

The World Tree of Purity didn’t respond at all to my words.

‘Pouting and running away again, it’s just like my daughter.’

“Sigh.”

My sigh made the Hornbeam Tree tremble slightly.

I could feel the tree’s gaze even though it had no eyes.

While I was arguing with Purity, the tree was staring at my crotch.

[…You vulgar human. So swollen.]

It hadn’t even grown big yet. Or rather, there was no sign of it growing.

Was it nearly impossible to get excited just from looking at a tree, even with the help of the lewd demon?

I inserted my finger into the well-shaped knot of the tree.

The knot’s wall was warm and soft, comparable to a woman’s vagina.

Damn it.

-Squeak, squeak, squeak.

[…Ah. Again. My knot…]

“If you had told me comfortably, this wouldn’t have happened.”

[…Liar!]

The Hornbeam Tree sharply criticized me like a wedge.

That’s right.

I was planning to collect entries for my catalog anyway.

A tree that betrayed the World Trees of the Flower group. Could there be a better catalog tree than this?

It’s as if someone had prepared it and placed it right there.

I explored deeper into the knot with my finger.

I wondered if my size would split the tree, but the female tree’s cavity was curved upward.

-Scrape.

[Ah, ah… Cistus, please give me hope.]

I spread the sap, which was sufficiently wet, evenly around the tree.

I mocked her.

“If she cared about you, she would’ve come to save you when I left you, with your clothes torn, exposing your private parts, tied up. Didn’t she come for you?”

[You keep speaking such nonsense!]

“Am I wrong?”

[Oh… Cistus…]

I scratched the inside like scraping with a fingernail. The Hornbeam Tree writhed in pleasure.

Her branches shook violently and leaves fell.

As if forgetting its original blueness, the proportion of dull brown was increasing.

“It’s time to admit it. That bastard abandoned you. She was never a good person to begin with. She sacrificed a child to create her clone.”

[…She is someone who brings salvation to humans… She’s not someone like you can speak of at will!]

The Hornbeam Tree screamed while I dug into its knot.

[She was the first to give money to the abandoned church, saving the children. Sob… What have you hunters and the World Trees done all this time?]

Even as it was getting lost in pleasure, the voice it let out was close to a scream.

[…Hunters even killed our children. She was the first to save starving kids.]

“And then what?”

-Scrape.

[Ah, ah… I will never… betray. Ah!]

She was extremely emotional.

The Hornbeam Tree, now exhausted and panting before me, began to reveal the information it had been hiding.

That this place was originally an orphanage church.

She had been caring for children here for over decades, but when the hunters and the World Trees cut off support and even exploited the place, Flower approached her. Naturally, with no other options, the Hornbeam Tree and the church were absorbed by this force.

This was how they ended up sharing the same revolutionary vision.

I could see the whole story behind this church now.

“I understand.”

But it wasn’t something I needed to empathize with.

I heard a woman’s moan through my ears, and with that, I pushed my fully erect member into the knot.

The inexperienced knot stretched, and the Hornbeam Tree cried out.

[…Ugh, eek… This is dangerous…!?]

Without hesitation, I thrust into the deepest part.

Pulling back once and thrusting in the direction I felt with my hand, I reached the very end.

As my engorged member entered the resilient body of the tree, the bark on the trunk protruded slightly.

Suddenly, I remembered the time before I came to this world.

A curiosity that was embarrassing to admit to others. The reality here was so different from back then, it was laughable. Here, sex with trees was considered normal, and many humans liked trees.

Even my need to collect trees for faster growth was aligned with this world’s norms.

Now there was no woman moaning from lust in my earphones.

Nor the warm, soft tofu-like sensation.

Still, it wasn’t for sexual gratification.

The feeling was still not great.

However, it was true that I had inherited the power of the Tree Spirit King, whose name and face I didn’t even know, and it felt like my brain was boiling.

It was different from being overpowered.

This was me actively subduing.

-Slap! Slap!

With each movement of my hips, moans escaped.

If this had been a human, she would have been a nun in priestly robes, loving only children.

[…Ah, ah, …Ah! Please, please… Cistus, ah!]

Unbeknownst to her, she committed an unforgivable sin, and if she realized it, she might not hesitate to kill herself.

The Hornbeam Tree knew nothing.

Flower. Especially that scoundrel Cistus, what kind of being was that?

Was I still bound by fixed notions? No.

If not for other executives, that guy was certainly not one who would sacrifice themselves for children.

-Thud!

The tree’s roots seemed to be pulled out with each thrust.

-Plunge!

As the tree fell, I climbed atop it. My throbbing member was now placed against its knot.

[…Uh, huff, sob…]

The tree, which had been resisting greatly, began to wrap its roots around my waist and thighs.

[…It shouldn’t feel… good…]

The value of power that the sun had shouted until his mouth was dry.

The power of the Tree Spirit King, said to have reached the pinnacle of one concept, subjugating and corrupting even the World Trees.

['Tree Catalog' adds Hornbeam Tree.]

With the voice in my ear as the finale, I sighed.

“I’ll explain it slowly to you.”

['Walking Pheromone (F)' has been upgraded to 'Walking Pheromone (E)'.]

“About what you’ve been misunderstanding. And what you need to do from now on.”

I whispered into its ear.

It must have been a very sweet voice to her.

A tree that had experienced pleasure would naturally do so.

[Due to the relationship with the tree, your acquired stats slightly increase.]

I didn’t continue with the sexual subjugation for too long.

Had I had enough time, I would have done so.

Deciding to break a tree, I went at it, and before long, the Hornbeam Tree was out of its mind and clinging to me.

[…Hah, hah. Huff.]

Semen spurted inside the knot.

There was no satisfaction in the sight a woman might show; it felt like I was just using her voice as a tool to wield my excitement.

I tried to insert my member into the knot again.

[…Ah, again…♡]

“Carpinus laxiflora.”

[…]

I called her by her name.

While continuing the relationship, I revealed the truth about Cistus to keep her mind as confused as possible.

At first, she firmly ignored my words, refusing to believe them.

However, as my presence within her grew stronger, she started to listen to me bit by bit.

After more than two hours, she slowly began to accept me.

“Sigh.”

The tree trembled as I exhaled.

The tree I stepped on with my bare feet had wrapped its branches around my ankles.

It was more like a gentle embrace than a strong grip.

Before she knew it, my image was slowly imprinting in her mind. It was different from Maronnie.

Since this was the first time I used my ability with full intent, it was only natural.

“Do you still not believe me?”

[…I don’t know.]

Before I knew it, the Hornbeam Tree was speaking respectfully.

[Unless I see it myself…]

“Then take a look.”

Although I had raided this place, there were still priests around.

The Hornbeam Tree’s magic was a power unimaginable by other humans, so if left alone, it was likely that Flower would eventually reclaim it.

She doesn’t seem to know much now, but if she made up her mind, she could certainly act as a spy.

“Tsk.”

My mouth felt bitter.

I thought I might have to use this ability someday, but now that I actually had, it felt dirty.

Even though it was a mental subjugation, the effect wasn’t that great. It just enhanced my presence within her.

It meant my ability still fell far short of the Tree Spirit King’s.

It was a power that grew the more it was used.

But from my perspective, having used it, it wasn’t pleasant.

“Listen to me.”

[…]

“What you need to do from now on.”

[Why should I… listen to you?]

“Well. Do you need a reason?”

I put my member back into her cavity.

[…Khat, ah, ah… I, I was wrong. Stop it now. No more.]

“It’s too late.”

Continuing the thrusts, I instructed her on how she should behave in the future.

How to act if Flower came while waiting here. How to infiltrate.

No need for contact. We were parting ways.

However, when we met again, she would have enough information.

I was too busy to care about every detail of this one now.

I needed chess pieces.

-Squelch!

[…Hah, kheh, ah, ah!]

The Hornbeam Tree’s branches gently shook as it wailed.

I was tired.

Having sex I didn’t even want several times made my head tired quickly.

Back in my room, the first thing I did was wash off the dirt from my body.

I cleaned off the sticky sap and bark that had clung to my lower abdomen, then flopped down onto the bed.

If I closed my eyes just for a bit, the Sage would come and tell me to attend a lesson.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly realized something.

“Oh right.”

Sansuyu.

The thought that I hadn’t healed her today made me jump up and look for her.

Passing outside my room, I arrived at Eden’s Library, where I saw Sansuyu sitting with her back to me.

-Flap, flap.

Her focused look while turning pages, a serious demeanor that was hard to see usually, made me feel like I could lose my senses just watching her.

“…ugh.”

Sansuyu, furrowing her brows as if she encountered a difficult part, raising one eyebrow.

I gently tapped her shoulder with my hand. Startled, Sansuyu turned around quickly to look at me.

“Shi, Shian?”

Sansuyu, who had pushed the book away with both hands, blinked several times.

I lightly pinched the nape of her neck with my hand and continued.

“You haven’t had your treatment today.”

Every morning or around lunchtime, I used my gathered powers for Sansuyu’s treatment.

Even that couldn’t completely heal her, but it was enough to change her severely weakened state to one where daily life was possible.

If healing wasn’t used, within a few weeks, she would be in agony again.

So, those were days when I would generously use my healing powers for Sansuyu, even if it meant neglecting my own combat abilities.

Thanks to that, I had been sleeping more lately.

No matter what I did, fatigue didn’t accumulate due to the power of the World Tree of Healing.

Since I was using that power on Sansuyu, I had to fall into a deep sleep once every few days, unlike other hunters.

“…Ah. Treatment.”

Sansuyu, somewhere hesitant, grabbed my hand that was on her neck.

Her eyes looked deeply troubled.

“Is something wrong?”

Her condition seemed so off that I couldn’t help but ask, but Sansuyu just shook her head as if it was nothing.

Then, with a clear gaze, she looked straight at me and said,

“You don’t have to do it anymore…”

The words from Sansuyu’s mouth carried a nuance of refusal.
