Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer-Chapter 364 The Special Branch (2)
============
[Branch of the world tree] (Bound to you)
---> It is difficult for us to comprehend the true extent of the power this one branch in its current condition can exert but as a comparison, we may say that this branch itself could be as powerful as a mid-grade divine artifact.
---> It has practically infinite durability, and it still contains a considerable amount of purest [Amrita] because of its weird origin.
---> The branch is different from the conventional branches of the world tree that we have knowledge about.
---> This branch actually shouldn't exist here, but because of some unknown circumstances, it is here, and now it belongs to you.
---> It is unmeasurable in practical value and the potential it has as a material is actually infinite.
---> Once again... it's just absurd how you get things like these so easily like this! Hump!
---> The branch itself is only usable as a normal branch that can't be destroyed. The magical power is stably sealed and it would require craftsmanship at the very least, transcendent level, to turn this thing into something actually usable.
---> A-anyway. C-congratulations.
============
A smile appeared on my face as I read that last thing.
'As cute as always, no? Well, thanks for the wishes~.'
I shook my head at this and looked back at my dear Rein, who was still confused.
It was absurd how there could be a branch of the world tree in front of us.
It was just absurd, and it was no less than untrue. But my behavior until now meant that it was true, so she was even more confused.
Her confused face was cute, but she had stabilized herself by the time I finished confirming everything.
She took a deep breath and looked at me with a serious expression.
"Show me the details."
Her voice was grave, and she was actually serious this time. Her eyes screamed to not say anything foolish or else she will just cut me in half regardless of today being my birthday.
It was actually... effective, so I just grabbed her hand and used (: Vision sharing).
A white light appeared in our held hands and her eyes shone with the same white light.
This Solnova spell was something we used regularly, so she was already accustomed to the strange feeling of seeing things in the third-person perspective.
It was a special spell, thankfully not that difficult to cast.
Using this thing meant she would actually see my current vision or an actual piece of memory. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ
I can share the things I see through Celes's vision with this spell, but it was just limited to one person, on the condition of holding hands.
Anyway, this serious pink panther of mine actually read the screen of the white twig and was shocked and stiff even after the spell ended and she came back to the present.
Her eyes were wide open and... she turned her head toward me with those same blank eyes.
"Bastard..."
That was the only word that came out of her pretty mouth.
She was frustrated, angry, sad, and disappointed.
It was a bound item. She might not actually even be able to lift it that easily now that it was bound to me.
She also wanted something like this, but everything today was his.
The only thing she got today was a fun experience, a personal teacup, and some good food.
She knew she would not even get the chance to shoot that blazing arrow even once.
Her cute misery was definitely... adorable~. So, I just smiled warmly at her and gave her a deep hug.
It was surprising, but it calmed her, and she forgot her newborn anger.
I stored the branch in my white crack, which was safely resting in a grail made of blessed adamantium full of holy water, and climbed down the big table.
It was just absurd how much holy water she used and put the branch in a grail made of god's mineral, no less.
I can't even think how much money and other resources she must have used to get and preserve this one branch... it was actually ludicrous.
Before becoming a bound item, it was actually just a branch of the world tree, and, though it wasn't necessary, preserving it in things like these definitely made the decomposition process slower. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶
The reason it was actually absurd that it is now mine was the sole fact that the branches of the world tree mostly just degenerate within a week of their separation from the tree.
The fallen branches of the world tree sometime experience some weird phenomena and get teleported to unknown random locations.
Mostly, these locations are desolate, lifeless places, and when it decomposes, it makes the desolate or condemn place into a new green place, returning life to that area.
Mostly no one finds these branches and the only reason someone gets in possession of one is because of... well, pure luck.
We can call it fate or destiny, but those things are forever equivocal.
Anyway, this thing was now mine, and I definitely wanted to know how mom got it but, I knew it won't actually mean much.
So... putting that complicated thought aside, I looked at my blushing Rein and shook my head with a smile.
I walked up to her and grabbed her hand, and... said the words that I wanted to say for the last few chapters.
"Let's go to Anna... they all must be waiting, right? We have to finish this great birthday with a night party~."
She was fine now, and soon as I said those words with a warm smile on my face, she blinked a few times and then... sighed with a smile.
"Yes... let's go."
There was a smile on both our faces as we walked out of the room after looking around this amazing treasure-filled room for a while.
It was already late evening, and the sky might be starting to get dark after the sunset.
This treasure hunt, gift hunt actually, was definitely amazing~. All of their gifts were also amazing, and I genuinely looooooved every single one of them~!
There was still Zoe's gift left and I do think she will give it to me after we reach there, but I wasn't worried about that one bit.
This was my first birthday, and I enjoyed this small game. And now... I will enjoy the party with my lovely family.
'Today... was just amazing~.'
I only hoped that they didn't ask me to rank their gifts. That would be pandemonium, even for me.
All the gifts were amazing and I can't just put one above the other.
The first place was Anna's, and even though I got something unthinkable from mom, it was still different from dad's or aunt Aug's gift, which had more emotional value.
'Well, let's see once we get there...'
At least, one thing was certain now... this was the best birthday outside of that forest for me.
If she were with us now, it would have been the best day ever, but, well, she was not. And that was the truth.
So... anyway, I was excited to see my darling Anna's cute smiling face~!
