As soon as I sensed their presence, I completely contained the tiny amount of aura that was escaping my body before waiting for the alleged "4 kings of the forest."I manipulated my size so that I was once again the size of a small kitten. The tails that Ena had been playing with shrank to their initial size as she noticed the changes in my body. She came running up to me and began carelessly patting my head and back. Kids do live in their own world.

Four semblable figures arrived at the bottom of the hill as I was taking pleasure in the head and back pats. From here, I could see them clearly, and as they got closer to us, they slowed down and looked around in case they were trapped or something similar.

A large white-furred tiger, a lion who appeared to have some facial scars, a black wolf, and a bore were the supposedly four kings of the forest. They were all the size of a two-story structure.

Ena stopped patting my head and back as soon as she noticed them. I assume they intimidated or scared her. Whatever the situation, I did my best to reassure her. I told her, placing one paw on her cheek, "Don't worry, I am here with you"

Size manipulation

When they finally reached the top of the hill where we were sitting, I finally spoke

'You all must have gotten my message I presume' I said looking at them all.

'Yes we did, are you perhaps the ruler of the Jungle?' the wolf spoke,

'I am, is there a problem with that I asked him,

'No, I was just sure-' as the wolf was speaking the bare cut in and bluntly said,

'Why did you call me here? I have more important things to do than meet a small kitten' he said, there was mockery in his voice but I ignored his actions,

'We are sorry for his actions, he is the new king, he won against the last one a year ago' the tiger apologized on the behalf of the bore.

'No worry,' I said to them, watching me talk to the four beasts Ena also, felt safe and approached the wolf, she approach the wolf and started patting his leg as that was the only part she could reach.

'Hm if you don't mind us asking, why have you called upon us? You have never made an appearance in the past 90 years, and now you have suddenly summoned us all' the wolf said.

'Ah yes, you see I was given a task by mother nature, to protect the world tree from harm' I said,

'What exactly is the world tree?' one of the lines spoke up this time,

'Why should we care? It's just a tree, there are thousands of them here in the forest'

The bore spoke once more, which irritates me, but let's ignore him anyway. To draw them in and get them to work for me, I spent the next hour or so explaining what a world tree is, what benefit they would receive if they helped me, as well as the mana-infused water pond.

As I was explaining everything to the kings Ena was playing with their feet, the patted the wolf's foot, then she went to the tiger and started to climb onto him and gave him some head pats, after she was done she moved to the lion who at some point sat down when Ena saw him, she moved to his head and then looked him right in the eye, this girl is fearless, and as for the lion he just looked at her with curiosity, he had maintained the eye contact with her for a minute and then licked her face, to show that it was ok to approach him when he licked Ena tho her whole face was covered in saliva,

the poor kid I thought as her hair had stood up because of the saliva, it looked like she had used wax on her hair tho,

But that wasn't the main question, how is she looking cute even after all that, she pouted for a second after wiping her face, but right after she went in for a hug his snout, aw that's cute I thought as I looked at the reaction of the others, they all looked as if it was normal, but the bore was an exception tho as I could still feel some killing intent from him toward's Ena, I ignore it for the time being as he hadn't done anything to harm her as of now,

After Ena was done with the lion she moved to the bore next, but this time she didn't approach him, it seems that she had found out that he was not as friendly as the others, as, for the bore, he stood there giving her a death stare, it was a clear sigh that he didn't want to be approached by him.

'Alright, Ena come here and don't disturb the bore,' I said so that she wouldn't approach the bore, when Ena heard my word's she ran toward me, and then sat behind me, perhaps she was too afraid of the bore, I thought, and to comfort her I stood up and made my way to her lap and sat there.

Well time passed by and I had explained everything I wanted about the world tree, and what the elves and dryad were going to do.

'What exactly do you want us to do?' the lion asked after I had explained everything,

I want you to protect them for the time being,' I said as I enjoyed some head and back pats by Ena.

'I don't mind going that' the tiger said, free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

'Me nether' the lion said,

'The benefits are good enough for me too, I will do as you ask' the wolf said.

'Why do we even need to protect those, long ear monkeys and plants, I am one of the kings of the forest, I won't protect anyone, they are just taking over the jungle, and all of you are helping them do it.' The bore said while pointing at all of us,

'The jungle doesn't belong to us, it belongs to everyone the tiger said,

'What are you a gullible child, how did you even become a king, the jungle belongs to the person who defeats the last king of the area' bore said, as he looked at all the kings disappointingly,

'Hmm, your right about that I said, as I stood up from Ena's lap and stretched my back,

'The four territories belong to the strongest beast in that, area,' I said as I walked towards the bore,

'Exactly, that's my point, we don't need to help those weaklings out in any way, we should just kill them this jungle belongs to all of -'

'However, you are mistaken about one thing,' I said as I stopped him from, speaking any more nonsense,

You may rule over the four areas, but I rule over the entire forest. Since you all reside in my domain, you must understand what that implies. I questioned him as I increased my size using my [Size manipulation]:

I could see the amazement, awe, and dread on each of the faces of the four kings as I towered over all of them, though they may have been the size of a two-story building. But in front of me, they resembled little puppies.

'If I want, I can devour you, kill you, or just replace you.' I remarked as I turned to face the bore, who now resembled a scared kid. I suddenly let go of my aura,

"Booooom."

Leaning closer to the bore and spoke to it directly, I said, 'Let me offer you a warning. If you try to hurt the people I care about, you will lose your miserable life.' The sound of an explosion could be heard all around from the pressure the Aura released. I cautioned him.

'Starting today, you are no longer a King of this forest.' I declared,

He turned to face me and exclaimed, 'Y-you can't do this to me,' with apparent rage and exasperation on his face.

'Who's going to stop me? You,' I queried. However, there was no response, only a strong odor that forced me to glance down and see that the bore had urinated himself.

'Get lost, before I change my mind and kill you' I said, as I used [wind magic] to make the smell go away and [water magic] to make the liquid go away from my hill.

The remaining three kings of the forest shook in fear as I asked, 'Are there any more questions or objections?' I could see their legs trembling in front of me. 'Good, if there are no objections then, get to work and choose someone to take his place,' I said, pointing back at the bore. I then picked up Ena and left to return to my cave.
