Trash of the Count's Family

Shaaaaaaa— Shaaaaa–

They then reached a spot where they could see the World Tree that was at the center of an area surrounded by large trees.

“Is it possible for me to have a quiet conversation with the World Tree?”

“I understand. I will make sure no existences who can hear you will be around here.”

That meant that she would make sure that the Elves, including her, and even the Elementals would leave the area.

Cale walked toward the World Tree alone after hearing the satisfactory response.

Adite bowed toward the World Tree and stepped back.

Cale walked at a not too fast, not too slow pace and arrived in front of the World Tree.

The World Tree gave off this feeling of stability as it looked the same every time, despite the new branches growing in spots from it losing branches every time they chatted.

“It’s been a while, ma’am. I kept saying that I needed to come back, but it ended up taking a while.”

Cale gave a light-hearted greeting before putting his hand on the tree and closing his eyes.

– Yes. It’s been a while.

The World Tree responded with a similarly light-hearted but welcoming greeting.

– The world is extremely chaotic right now. There must be a reason you came to see me despite all the chaos. For what reason have you come to see me in such a busy time and why do you wish to have a quiet conversation with just the two of us?

The questions that followed the greeting were not light-hearted at all.

The words that came out of Cale’s mouth next were not light-hearted either.

“…Do you know about immortals?”

– Hmm?

The reason Cale didn’t bring the others with him…

“Immortals. There are also Reincarnators, Single-lifers, and Transmigrators. Do you know anything about these existences?”

Shhh.

Cale could feel the will of Drew Thames moving inside the diary in his pocket.

He then waited for the World Tree’s response.

– …I do not. Am I supposed to try to understand those words? I don’t think you are asking for the meaning of those words.

That was right.

Cale was not asking about something like that.

He was asking if there was anything the World Tree knew about the laws that the Thames household had been researching.

“Please let me give a simple explanation.”

Cale did not say everything.

He just explained what he read in the diary, especially the information about immortals and single-lifers. There was a need to do that. He felt that they were things the World Tree should know.

– Ho. They use such concepts to divide those people?

The World Tree could not hide its shock.

– Mm. It is my first time hearing about some of those things. Exceptions and variables? How surprising. Very surprising indeed. How did you find all this out?

“I’m sorry, but I cannot tell you that.”

He did not tell the World Tree about the Thames household, the hunters hunting the single-lifers, nor about the regressors.

Finally, he did not mention the ways to kill the different variables and exceptions.

– I guess it is dangerous information for you to reveal the source of it. Hmm……

The World Tree was quiet for a moment, as if it was organizing its thoughts.

Cale patiently waited.

– Single-lifers…

And once the World Tree started speaking again… The first thing it mentioned was neither the reincarnators nor the immortals.
