Exposed to the outside air, my lower half felt refreshingly cool.
'Who would've thought I'd be doing this of my own free will. Just a month ago, I'd spasm at the sight of a tree.'
The reason I'd ended up like this was because of that tree. No matter how dumb I am, I'm not the type to repeat the same mistake twice.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ 'Pure World Tree' vehemently objects! This is cheating! The Purity who'd dropped by after so long was scraping at old wounds.
'Cheating my ass. How many women do I have?'
If she at least showed her face while scraping, I might hold my tongue.
'On paper in Korea, your mom is Azalea, you idiot.'
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ (Choked up) 'Pure World Tree' opens her eyes wide. Azalea had quietly locked in Shiva's status without me knowing.
Still, thanks to that, she was nobility and wouldn't have to live humiliated anywhere, which was a relief.
'Let's be realistic. You're the one hiding your identity so tightly, so how am I supposed to know?'
The Pure World Tree didn't react to my words at all.
'Sulking and running off again. How is she exactly like my daughter?'
"Sigh."
My sigh made the hornbeam's body flinch.
Even without eyes, I could feel the tree's gaze.
While I'd been bickering with Purity, the tree had been staring at my dick the whole time.
[...Vulgar human. So swollen already.]
It hadn't even gotten hard yet. No, there wasn't even a sign of it.
Even with the help of Lewd Ghost, was it impossible to get aroused by a single tree?
I slipped my fingers into the nicely shaped knot.
A moderately warm and soft knot wall. It was no worse than a woman's pussy.
What bullshit.
-Squish, squelch, squick.
[...Ngh. Again. My knot....]
"If you'd just talked to me normally, this wouldn't have happened."
[...Liar!]
The hornbeam sharply jabbed back at me like a wedge.
Correct.
I was planning to collect her for the codex anyway.
A tree that betrayed a World Tree from Flower. Could there be a better codex entry?
She was right there, perfectly prepared, like someone had set her up for me.
I probed deeper into the knot with my fingers.
I wondered if my dick's size would punch through the tree.
But the female tree's hole curved upward.
-Squelchhh.
[Hngh, grrr... Lady Sistus, please give me hope.]
I smeared the sufficiently wet sap evenly around the base of the tree with my hand.
I sneered at her.
"If she cared about you, she'd have come to save you when I abandoned you. You were tied up with your clothes torn and pussy exposed. She didn't come for even one person."
[Don't spew nonsense!]
"Am I wrong?"
[Ohhh... Clothes....]
I tormented the inside like scratching with my nails. The hornbeam writhed in pleasure.
Branches shook violently, leaves falling.
Forgetting her original green little by little. The proportion of dull brown was increasing.
"Time to admit it. That bitch abandoned you. She wasn't good from the start. She sacrifices kids to make her own clones."
[...She is the one who will bring salvation to humanity.... You're in no position to speak!]
The hornbeam shrieked while I jabbed her knot.
[She gave money to the abandoned church for the first time and saved the children. Ngh... What have you hunters done all this time? The World Trees?]
Even as she drowned in pleasure, her voice was close to a scream.
[...The hunters even killed our children. She was the first to save the starving ones.]
"So?"
-Squelch.
[Kgh, nghh... Ah. I will never... betray her. Ah!]
Utterly emotional.
The exhausted hornbeam panting before me started spilling even the info she'd hidden.
This place was originally a church that took in and raised orphans.
She'd cared for the children here for decades, but hunters and World Trees cut off support and even exploited them.
Then Flower approached, and with no other options, the hornbeam and church were absorbed into the group.
They shared the same revolutionary ideals.
I could see the church's full story.
"I get it."
But it wasn't something I needed to sympathize with.
With the woman's moans ringing in my ears, my fully erect dick hardened enough. I shoved it into the knot with all my strength.
The inexperienced knot walls stretched wide as the hornbeam screamed.
[...Ngh, nggh... This is dangerous...!?]
No hesitation, straight to the deepest part.
I pulled my hips back once, then thrust in the direction I'd checked with my hand, reaching the end.
As my dick entered the elastic wooden body, the bark on her belly bulged out convexly.
Suddenly, I thought of before coming to this world.
A curiosity too embarrassing to admit. The reality here was absurdly different. Tree sex was normal, and plenty of humans loved trees.
My situation, needing the codex for faster growth, fit this world perfectly.
No church hymns laced with a woman's lust from my earphones now.
No warm, squishy tofu to squeeze.
It still wasn't to satisfy lust.
My mood was still shitty.
But whether I'd truly inherited the Wood Spirit King's power, my brain boiled with sensation.
Different from being overwhelmed.
This was me actively subjugating.
-Plap! Plap!
Every hip thrust brought out moans.
If she weren't a tree, she'd just be a nun in priestly robes loving children.
[...Haaang, ah, ...haaang! Please, please... Lady Sistus, ah!]
If she realized she'd committed an unforgivable sin unwittingly, she'd even commit suicide without hesitation.
The hornbeam knew nothing.
About Flower. Especially the vilest, Sistus.
Was I still trapped in stereotypes? No.
The other executives might be different, but that one would never devote herself to children.
-Thud!
The tree's roots heaved like being uprooted.
-Plop!
I climbed atop the fallen tree. My throbbing dick rested between the knot.
[...Uha, hngg, hng...]
The roots that had resisted fiercely began wrapping around my waist and thighs little by little.
[...Feels... good, but it shouldn't....]
The Sun's value of power, screamed until her mouth dried.
The power of the Wood Spirit King, who reached the pinnacle of that ideology, ruling all, subjugating even World Trees, corrupting them.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ 'Tree Codex' adds Hornbeam. With the voice in my ear, I let out a sigh.
"I'll teach you slowly."
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ 'Walking Pheromone (F)' upgrades to 'Walking Pheromone (E)' "What you got wrong. And what you need to do from now on."
I whispered into her ear.
To her, it must have sounded terribly sweet.
Trees that learned pleasure always did.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ ⚔ TREE CODEX ENTRY ⚔ □ Hornbeam [Codex No: 712] [Scientific: Carpinus laxiflora] Epithet: Leader of the Trees Family: Betulaceae, Hornbeam Genus, Hornbeam. Deciduous. Grows to 15m. Egg-shaped leaves grow horizontally. Also called Gyeonpunggeon in Korea. Flower Language: Wealth Aptitude: X Disclosure: 67.15% [Stats slightly increase due to relation with trees.] ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ I didn't tame her slowly over a long time.
If I had enough time, I would have.
But charging in determined to break one tree, the hornbeam soon lost her mind and clung to me.
[......Haat, haa. Hn.]
Semen sloshed inside the knot.
The satisfaction of a woman's gaze was nowhere; it felt like swinging my dick with her voice as fuel.
I tried shoving my dick back into the knot.
[...Ah, again...♡]
"Carpinus laxiflora."
[......]
I called her name.
While continuing the act, to disrupt her mind as much as possible, I exposed Sistus's truth.
At first, she flatly ignored my words, refusing to believe.
But as my presence rooted deeper inside her, she started listening bit by bit.
After over two hours, she slowly accepted me.
"Hoo."
My sigh made the tree tremble.
The tree I stepped on barefoot gripped my ankle with branches.
Not tightly, but softly embracing.
Unknowingly, my image slowly imprinting in her mind. Different from Marronier.
This was the first time I'd deliberately used my ability, so it was natural.
"Still can't believe me?"
[......I don't know.]
Honorifics now slipped from the hornbeam's mouth.
[Unless I see it myself....]
"Then go see."
I'd ransacked the place, but priests were still around.
The hornbeam's magic was power beyond human dreams, so if left alone, Flower might reclaim it someday.
She didn't seem to know much now, but if she wanted, she could spy effectively.
"Tch."
Bitter taste in my mouth.
I never thought I'd use this ability, but actually doing it felt dirty.
Even as domination, the effect wasn't huge. Just growing my presence inside her.
Meaning my power didn't even reach the Wood Spirit King's toe.
A power that grows the more it's used.
But from the user's perspective, not pleasant.
"Listen to me."
[....]
"How you act from now on."
[Why should I... listen to you?]
"Who knows. Do I need a reason?"
I shoved my dick inside the hole.
[...Krhat, ahn, aaa.... Sorry, I was wrong. Stop now. No more.]
"Too late."
I kept pounding while dictating her future behavior.
What to do if Flower comes while waiting here. How to infiltrate.
No need for contact. We'd part.
But next meeting, she'd have solid info.
I was too busy to micromanage her everything.
I needed chess pieces.
-Squelch!
[...Hauk, kghat, ahn, aaang!]
The howling hornbeam's branches swayed softly.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Exhausted.
Maintaining unwanted relations multiple times tires the brain fast.
Back in my room, I first washed my dirty body.
Cleaned the sticky sap from my lower belly and tree bark bits, then flopped onto the bed.
A bit of shut-eye, and the Sage would come nagging for lessons.
As I tried to sleep, I suddenly realized something.
"Oh right."
Sansu-yu.
Remembering I hadn't healed her today, I bolted up and went looking.
Passing my room to Eden's library, there sat Sansu-yu, back turned.
-Flip, flip.
Her focused figure turning pages. A rare serious look that could make me zone out just watching.
"...Ung."
Furrowing her brow at a stuck part, raising one eyebrow.
I lightly tapped her shoulder. Startled, she whipped around fast.
"Si, Siheon?"
Pushing the book away with both hands, she blinked several times.
I pinched her nape lightly and continued.
"No treatment today."
Every morning or lunch, I used the gathered power for Sansu-yu's healing.
It couldn't fully cure her health, but it turned her dire state to daily livable.
Without it, she'd wheeze again in weeks.
Even sacrificing my combat power, I'd poured healing endlessly for her.
That's why I'd been sleeping more lately.
My fatigue not accumulating no matter what was thanks to the Healing World Tree's authority.
Using it on her meant sleeping like other hunters every few days.
"...Ah. Treatment."
Sansu-yu hesitated, grabbing my hand on her nape.
Eyes deep in thought.
"Something wrong?"
Her state so off I had to ask, she shook her head like nothing.
Then stared straight with clear eyes.
"No need anymore...."
Words refusing me fell from Sansu-yu's lips.
