I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

Shinsoo, who jumped up to that high place in an instant, opened his mouth wide and tried to bite the golden fruit hanging at the end of the branch.

At that moment, surprisingly, the branch of the World Tree moved greatly and escaped the bite of the divine beast.

Embarrassed, Shin-soo twisted his body and landed on the ground, then rolled his front foot.

“No, because it really doesn’t. It’s not that easy to eat.”

Philip nodded as if he knew that.

-No way? Is the world tree a benevolent being? There’s no way I, a divine beast, would refuse to take the fruit… .

“Isn’t that the same as a fruit that falls off and rots if left alone? I know the world capital is a waste.”

Philip thought that the World Tree was a high level existence far beyond human common sense. From the fact that the ego exists and functions as a part of the ecosystem, it was good to say that it was no different from a god.

Now that he actually faced the main body, Philip felt a strange feeling.

Awe. And an inexplicable intimacy.

It was a strange feeling of intimacy, as if it were not like others.

“… Do you, dare, ignore me?”

Meanwhile, Pribia looked very angry. She trembled slightly with her fists clenched tightly, and Shin-soo, who saw that, snorted.

―I haven’t done anything particularly wrong, so what else should I be afraid of you for?

As strong as the dragon was, it was a being with many limitations. Even if she killed the god beast, who was no different from the guardian of the forest and mountain, she would have to pay a pretty heavy price, so Privia gave instructions to Philip with her body trembling.

“Go and scratch that dog with a sword. The moment he rebels and attacks you, I will tear him into a thousand pieces. Did you kill me at all?”

It was an order given because if Philip, who was under her protection, was attacked, there would be at least a justification. Philip immediately refused without hesitation.

“I don’t like it. You didn’t help me when I fought the demons last time, did you? And attacking Shinsoo is not a good thing.”

When she complained about Privia’s refusal to help in the Earl of Alloy case, she glared at Philip as if she felt betrayed.

“Did the man just keep that in mind?”

“When did you say you were a kid? It’s because it’s a kid, so the distribution is small. Don’t do that too much, just calm down for a while. The World Tree doesn’t seem to have any intention of giving the golden apple to that divine beast anyway.”

“That is not important. Didn’t that little bastard dare to ignore me?”

“… If you live for a long time, you might be ignored a bit, and things like that… Ugh!”

As Philip continued to smirk, Privia kicked him hard in the butt.

“I looked at the kid to see if he was coming, and he climbed up for a while.”

Having said that, Privia didn’t seem particularly upset. If he was really angry, it would have been magic rather than kicking.

“joy! You guys know what to do.”

Freevia said so grumbled and stepped back.

Then Philip came closer to Shinsoo.

“Don’t do that, get out of the way. yes? Are you going to stare at a fruit you can’t even eat for dozens or hundreds of years? This is not your territory, is it?”

– You cheeky human. That’s none of your business.

“Then I will make it right to you. what. Isn’t your estate a forest half a day’s drive north of here? Where there is a valley and there is a spring. By the way, I am a very rich aristocrat. If you give yourself plenty of time, in about two months, you can clear the entire forest and build a castle.”

Shin-soo, who recognized Philip’s meaning, made a stunned expression. It was amazing that a wolf’s face could make such an expression.

—… would you do that? Do you even know how many lives live in that forest?

“Isn’t that what I know? If you’re worried, isn’t it something you can go directly to? Anyway, so you know, I’ll come back in two months. Human lifespan is short, but two months is enough to wait.”

A Shinsoo who lost his territories soon lost all his powers and was bound to return to an ordinary beast.

No matter how much he coveted the golden apple, it wasn’t to the point where he risked his ego to get it, so Shinsoo’s butt soon shook.

“let’s go. Let’s go, boys.”

When Philip said that and tried to leave without regret, Shinsoo barked loudly once.

-stop! quit! You man without blood or tears!

If Freevia hadn’t been there, Shinsoo would have attacked Philip right away. Shinsoo glared at Philip once with eyes full of bitterness, then growled, baring his teeth.

-You’d better hope you never see me again.

“I see. what.”

When Philip motioned for him to go quickly, the giant wolf nervously kicked the ground and disappeared in an instant.

And he had to face Sentinel Ursil’s gaze as if he were looking at a terrible villain.

“… Why?”

“Oh, no, nothing.”

“Did I really try to clear the forest? I am not that kind of person.”

Despite Philip’s excuses, Ursil hesitated and backed away, trying to distance himself from Philip. Philip sighed and gestured to Lua and Janis.

“Come here.”

“yes.”

“yes. Instructor.”

Philip, with the two girls, came completely close to the World Tree. It was from the thought that the World Tree might be willing to give a golden apple to one of them, even if it wasn’t him.

Philip muttered as he placed his palm on the stem of the World Tree.

“If you give me the fruit, I will use it well.”

As I murmured a few more words, as if praying to the mountain spirit, the branch on which the golden apple hung moved as if it were alive and slowly descended.

Then, as if asking what to do if he didn’t take it quickly, he put the golden apple in front of Philip’s eyes. As Philip stretched out his hand as if possessed by it, countless branches of the World Tree soon came out and wrapped themselves around Philip, Lua, and Janice.

“… hmm?”

There was no particular malice, so Philip quietly surrendered himself. If the World Tree tried to harm him anyway, there was no way to do it.

“What?”

Lua was also a little surprised, but soon put on an expression of fun, but Johnny’s case was a little different. She immediately screamed in terror.

“uh… uh huh Kyaaagh!”

Soon, the branches of the world tree, holding on to Philip and the girls, soared toward a high place and slowly descended. As he landed on the ground, Philip blinked.

It just didn’t seem to make much sense.

An act similar to an adult lifting a young baby up to play.

It was, so to speak, an expression of intimacy.

‘Why are you doing this?’

Philip tilted his head and kept the fruit in his bosom.

“… It’s the first time I’ve seen the World Tree do something like that.”

Sentinel Ursil looked at Philip with a shocked expression.

“The World Tree seems to like you quite a bit. It looks like you’re going to do something big for the world. Even thousands of years ago, there were people like you who were loved by the World Tree. Those guys went through hundreds of years of hard work until the end of their lives, and then became comfortable after their hair turned white.”

In the meantime, Freevia, who had picked up some ordinary fruits, giggled as she shoved them into the pouch attached to her robe.

“… ah. It is.”

Philip, who was in a bad mood in an instant, frowned.

“Keep your eyes open. If you don’t like it.”

“yes. yes.”

Philip gave a rough answer and took care of Janice, who was still trembling. She seemed to have a fear of heights.

“Me, Gyo, Instructor. that… .”

“why?”

“Who is that… ?”

Lua didn’t seem to care at all, but Johnny seemed to be quite curious about Privia’s true identity. Philip responded by gently stroking her hair.

“Ask yourself later. He’s not a difficult person to get close to. She’s Instructor Priscilla’s older sister, too.”

“But it feels so different. Instructor Priscilla… hmm… … So, he is a very friendly person.”

“That person isn’t too different… … maybe?”

At Philip’s answer, which ended with a question, Freevia smiled and Janis tilted her head. Soon after, blood dripped from Philip’s nose and dripped onto her clothes, startled and checking Philip’s condition.

“Instructor, you have a nosebleed!”

She, Lua, and Urshil, who couldn’t hear the dragon’s words, couldn’t figure out why Philip was bleeding. Philip put a hand on her shoulder as if it was nothing.

“You must have been a little tired. I’m sorry for soiling your clothes. Let’s go back now.”

Returning to the elder’s room, Philip and the others soon ran into Rizriel, who was absorbed in something.

“I specially prepared it with better quality ones. How about this?”

She seemed to check the condition of the items brought by the Elven Elder, and in Philip’s eyes, the identity of the items were mithril ingots.

Mithril is a metal that can be refined only with the skill of elves.

If it wasn’t for the elven camp that had been trained for hundreds of years, even that excellent dwarf couldn’t touch it easily.

Rizriel examined the state of the ingots and nodded with a satisfied expression.

“As the elder said, the quality is better than usual. You could even look at an almost perfect mithril. thank you.”

These mithrils were Rizriel’s payment for delivering the necessary tools and materials to the elves every quarter.

“Oh, are you back? Did you go well?”

At Lizriel’s question, Philip nodded.

“Good. Are you done here now?”

“yes. Yes. I don’t know if the way back will be smooth. I’m leaving tomorrow morning, do you have anything to do?”

At Lizriel’s question, Philip nodded. After all this time, there was one thing I wanted to find.

“I’m going around here to look for some spirit stones.”

Hearing that, the Elf Elder tilted his head.

“You mean the spirit stone? It’s something humans can’t find… ah!”

Unless he was a born elemental sage, humans could not recognize the spirit’s energy. However, she soon realized that there was a dragon by Philip’s side and nodded.

“… If you’re going to pamper me again, know that I really won’t let you go this time.”

At Freevia’s warning, Philip waved his hand.

“I had no intention of going with you. It’s about the spirit stone, so I can find it.”

“… Didn’t you mean to go with me? How dare you?”

When Privia burst into anger, Philip sighed.

‘I was thinking of taking Lua alone.’

It seemed that he did not like to be bothered by other people. If not, it’s very boring.

Philip, who had been thinking of taking a walk with Lua for the first time in a while, looked at Privia and said,

“… Actually, I wanted to go with you, but I did it on purpose because I was afraid Freevia-sama would be annoying. I have something to tell you, but would you like to go with me?”

“There’s nothing you can’t do if you want.”
