A young girl in a village without protection

I went to the kitchen and checked the ingredients and found out if some strange gas was leaking or flowing... but I didn't think there was anything wrong.

"There seems to be no abnormality.Besides, the chef doesn't notice strange ingredients.... "

That's right.

Zerisina nods to Jade's best opinion.

My father and brothers are also trying to find out the cause, but sometimes they are busy and have not been identified.

When Zelicina thought this might be over, the toy said, "Wow!"and barked strongly.

Toy?

Wafuu!

Zerisina and Jade look at each other as if they were just following a toy.If Toy says so, there must be something ahead.

A stylish and cute beast toy with a ribbon around the neck.

Pure white hair is fluffy and pleasant to touch, making me want to squeeze my face.I live with jade, and now I often work with three people, including Zerisina.

Toy runs like this.Outside, behind the mansion.Apparently, there's something Toy wants to teach you at the back of the Mansion.

(I saw the back of the mansion earlier.....)

There was no odor in particular - as Zelicina thought, Toy stopped in front of a tree.

Seeing that, Zerisina's thoughts stopped.

"Huh?"

The slender thing runs through your spine and takes an unexpected step back.Zerisina's brain instantly decided it wasn't good.It seemed like jade too, breathtaking.

(It was a blind spot because the plants weren't checked)

No, more than that...

"Why are these trees growing in the garden?"

The tree that grew from the ground... branches, leaves, everything was black.It's as if it's gone from the reasoning of the world.

The tree is as tall as Zerisina's knee, and it's not as big as it is... but I couldn't help but be anxious.

"Toy taught me this, thank you."

Wow!

Zerisina thanked her and Toy shook her tail with joy.

Zerisina thinks it's a good thing or a bad thing that Toy the Beast taught us.This time, of course, the latter.

The jade slowly touched the leaves and said, "Wow."

"This... I think I saw something like this somewhere."

"Same thing?"

"It's not exactly the same... is it similar to the atmosphere?"

Jade bothers his head when it happened.

I'm worried without remembering, "What's wrong?"The gardener showed his face.Since he is the gardener head of the villa garden, he will also know about this dark tree.

Zerisina decided to talk to the gardener.

"I want you to tell me about this black tree...."

"Oh, that tree? It will be unusual."

"Yeah."

Zerisina nodded bitterly at the gardener's compliments.Certainly it may be unusual, but it is not enough to be unusual.

"Actually, it just came out of nowhere."

"Eh...."

Zerisina opened her eyes because she thought it was something the gardener had acquired and planted.Now we don't know what this plant looks like.

The gardener continues to speak in haste as Zerisina floats the colour of her impatience.

"After all, I looked into how it grew."

"Do you understand...?"

"Probably, but...."

The gardener explained to me what happened after the black tree grew.

I noticed the existence of a black tree when a leaf came out.I've never seen such a stunning black before, so I'm curious.

But since the gardener had no idea, did he bury anything in the garden for each of his servants?He said he confirmed it.

"Was there someone who planted it?"

"No, no one planted it... but Anna told me something that bothered me."

"From Anna?"

Anna is a maid of Zerisina.Now she's not feeling well and she's taking the day off... but when she thinks about it, Anna complains about her illness first.

The gardener pointed to the ground strangely.

"It seems I just threw it away around here... Black petals."

"Black petals...?"

I wonder if Zerisina disposed of the dead flowers and so on, and thought - haha.

When I look at the jade, I look at it the same way.

(Maybe that black petal...)

Zerisina clutches her fist.Speaking of which, I haven't checked anything since.That's why Anna must have disposed of those black petals.

Instead of Zerisina, who couldn't speak, Jade told him what it was.

"Blossomed into Zeli-sama's big tree and withered - the petals of Mary's big black tree..."
