The Hero Party’s Moms Are Obsessed With Me

“Ugh… I’m going to die…”

It’s definitely my body, but it won’t move as I want.

I forced my heavy eyelids open in this irrational situation where there was no painless place to squirm.

Slowly, the front came into view.

The blurry gaze sharpened.

And before me, the scene unfolded.

… Roots?

In the wide expanse of brown, massive roots stretched out in all directions.

If I had been in this situation without knowing anything, I wouldn’t have thought anything at all. But I had some information I could infer.

Near the elven city of Tresias.

The world tree revered by the elves.

A dungeon descended deep underground.

In other words, those massive roots…

“Are the roots of the world tree.”

Was my deduction correct?

“Exactly.”

Someone responded to my thoughts.

When I turned my head in the direction of the voice, I saw the unfamiliar woman I had glimpsed before I lost consciousness, looking at me.

Long, thick green hair.

More than tall, she was voluptuous… no, was she on the verge of bursting with her massive chest and organs packed inside? A worryingly thin waist.

Below, firm buttocks in an hourglass shape, and legs that were perfectly toned.

I thought Olivia was the most beautiful woman in the world, but this beauty surpassed even her.

“Why… are you naked?”

She was standing there with clenched fists, completely bare.

“Have you seen a tree wearing clothes?”

“Um… maybe I have? In Korea, during winter, trees are sometimes wrapped in straw to keep warm.”

“What? Trees wearing clothes? What kind of trees are those?”

“Well, you know, I’m not a scientist or anything.”

No way!!

“Can you hear my thoughts?”

“If I couldn’t, how could we be having this conversation?”

Hmm… I don’t really understand, but okay.

That woman. Tval C, right?

No, it’s definitely T.

Ah, can she hear this thought too? I chuckled awkwardly, and the woman, more than just lascivious, sensually approached me, her body swaying.

“May I ask you something?”

“Go ahead.”

“Are you the World Tree?”

“Yes, I am.”

This is ridiculous.

I couldn’t find the dungeon where the Tower Lord Rageta was supposed to be. And the dungeon I happened to enter had the roots of the World Tree?

I haven’t done anything wrong yet.

Hmm… Breaking into the door and entering forcefully, was that a bad thing to do?

Anyway.

From her perspective, we are intruders.

Even though I received such rough treatment, my stamina and regeneration were enhanced tenfold.

Let’s assume Lagerta and Ellie are naturally strong, so they’ll be fine.

Olivia?

It was hard to imagine an ordinary woman without any combat power blocking or avoiding attacks from a World Tree.

“May I ask where my colleagues are?”

“Only one question.”

“… Can I ask a few more questions?”

“I’ll grant you special permission.”

Why did she say it like that when she was going to answer anyway?

In an instant, I saw Lagerta’s figure in her.

A tsundere who ticks and does mostly everything you ask for.

I laughed softly at the woman in front of me.

The woman stared at my eyes as if she found the World Tree fascinating.

“You like Lagerta.”

“Well… yes. As a comrade.”

“It’s impressive that you consider her a comrade. Honestly, she’s a monster, isn’t she?”

“Lagerta is indeed a monster.”

I broke the ice with a light empathy and organized my thoughts.

“Is our party alive?”

“We are alive.”

I thought it was such a broad question that she wouldn’t answer, but thankfully we’re alive.

“Now, it’s my turn to ask.”

“Yes, please go ahead.”

“You. You’re not a human in this world, right?”

…

Is an elf truly revered as a god?

My true identity, never seen through by even the La Gata.

Since lying here would be pointless, I simply nodded.

“How fascinating. Who in the world brought you to this place? I can make a rough guess.”

“Do you know who that might be?”

“No. I can’t bear any resentment towards that presence.”

A rough guess comes to mind.

That presence.

Unbearable resentment.

In many ways, it seems that there are other gods in this world that I do not know of.

Even the Elven god, Yggdrasil, seems to fear that god.

I don’t know for sure, but…

“Is it some immensely powerful deity who brought me here?”

If that’s the case, couldn’t they grant me some extraordinary abilities?

Having abilities is nice, but rolling around all the time is exhausting!

Give me something like a hero’s ability to vanquish enemies with a snap of my fingers!

Oh well… It’s no use getting worked up on my own.

“So, may I ask why you brought me here?”

“Did I bring you here? You came of your own accord. I just ‘opened the door.'”

Ah… I see.

I came here on my own, didn’t I?

Ahaha! I almost turned an innocent victim into an offender without realizing it!

So, if you could kindly let me go now.

“Who says you can leave?”

When I came in, it was of my own accord…

But when I want to leave…

“Is it not possible?”

“No.”

Ah, I see. Not possible then.

I messed up.

Really messed up.

I’ve been caught by a divine being of the highest order.

Oh God!

My pack, the divine master!

If you are watching, give me hope!! No! Give me an escape route!!

“If you grant me one favor, I’ll let you go. And the humans who came with you as well.”

“I will do anything!”

“Say later that you heard this and just leave?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“…I will make sure of it!”

“Alright. If those pathetic demons keep causing trouble around me these days, get rid of them.

I’m not fond of those guys bothering the elves either.”

“Of course! I will handle it… Uh… Lord of the World Tree?”

“What.”

“Can I also handle the task that the elves failed in? Can I do it?”

“You can. And besides, there’s Lageta.”

“Oh! That’s right! There’s Lageta! I will take care of it!”

Choosing someone who is not present was a completely disrespectful choice, but what can I do?

No matter how great the tower lord is, they can’t beat a divine being.

If God criticizes me, then criticize away.

From the position of working in the general affairs team at a shitty company, I know that the person working in the middle is the most difficult.

Because I acted like a dog, I didn’t want to make Lageta go through such an experience.

But as a newcomer who is not a director, vice president, or CEO, there is no other way…

Apologizing silently to Lageta, the goddess of abundance, the World Tree, elegantly waved her hand.

As her touch shook the roots, the ground trembled!

The ceiling, not the sky, had a hole, and it was thinner than the surroundings.

Compared to the surroundings, it was small, but from my perspective, it was a giant ginseng root the size of my forearm that came down and stopped in front of me.

“Eat.”

“…This?”

“What else would you eat?”

“Is that so~? Should I eat the roots right in front of me~? I must have been a fool to ask~ Ahaha!”

If it weren’t for the fact that he was a god.

“If I weren’t just a god, then what?”

“I’m so grateful that I want to offer a sacrifice and make you a god~ Like this~ Uhuhu!”

Since that annoying world tree god didn’t know how to argue, he reached out with perfectly healed hands and plucked the roots.

With a sound, he tore the roots, not even bothering to brush off the dirt around them, and bit into them.

Chewing with the distinct crispness of the roots and the gritty texture of the soil.

Since they were of a decent size, it took several bites to finish.

“Phew… I’ve eaten.”

He finished his meal in one go.

“Alright, now.”

“Well, hold on a moment! Can I ask what the effect is?”

“Find out for yourself. Goodbye.”

With those words, the world tree waved her hand before I could say anything.

I quickly followed her gesture.

***

When the World Tree Trecias shook her hand, the boy, Diarm, closed his eyes and collapsed.

“Wind.”

As her voice resonated in the vast space, a powerful wind swept through.

[Although I would prefer if you didn’t address me by that name.]

The Grand Elemental contracted with Rageta, the [Wind], revealed itself.

“Why? It’s the precious name your contractor gave you.”

[It’s not a name; it’s the element itself…]

“Enough. Take him away quickly.”

[Sigh… I don’t understand why they all look like this.]

“I hear you~”

[We sincerely appreciate each and every one of them!]

As [Wind] lied as naturally as breathing while manipulating the wind.

Although he wanted to transport Diarm directly because of the World Tree’s orders, he recalled Rageta’s advice not to get too close and used magic to do it.

“By the way, are you alright?”

“What.”

[To bestow such a blessing upon this child.]

[The wind] values the worth of the roots bestowed by the World Tree.

A child named Diem knows the worth of the roots she devoured without knowing anything.

A new set of roots from the World Tree, which appears once in a thousand years.

Roots that can infinitely grow, filling this room like thick roots.

Right now, there may not be significant changes, but the race, and even the limits of creations, can be transcended by these roots.

That’s why [the wind] couldn’t comprehend it.

Feeding a child with roots so precious that even other deities would covet.

So [the wind] asked the World Tree.

Is it really okay?

Even though it cannot be undone after being fed, do you have no regrets about that choice?

In response to [the wind]’s question, the World Tree chuckled and slowly fell backward.

The moment she collapsed into thin air, the tree trunk transformed into the shape of a chair and received her body.

“Because it’s the child chosen by that existence. She’ll handle it well.”

[The wind] couldn’t understand the World Tree’s words.

Instead, [the wind] had one last question.

“Why… are you undressed?”

“I got close to that child, and it came off.”

“Do you have no intention of putting it back on?”

“It won’t go back on. I’ll try putting it on again in a little while.”

‘Is the reason Lageta told the child not to touch her because it makes her clothes come off…?’

Despite that, Lageta and her companions often engaged in physical contact with the child…

Lost in various thoughts, [the wind] nodded at the sight of the World Tree, who had closed her eyes, and departed from her space.

***

Today, as my eyes opened, a familiar landscape greeted me.

Although time had passed from a determined night to the dawn, it still felt like that.

Clear skies, lush grass, and countless tall trees.

The forest on the outskirts of Trecias, the Elven city.

I turned my head hastily to survey the surroundings.

Olivia and Ellie, just like me, were cast out of the dungeon, and even Rageta.

Every member of our party was lying unconscious in the forest.

I grabbed my throbbing forehead and forced myself to stand up.

[Oh! Di’am! Good morning!]

In the distance, Fluff, chattering away with the wind, flapped his wings and approached me.

“Uh… Yeah. Fluff, were you okay?”

I asked, meaning, “Did you get scolded by the naughty woman named the World Tree like I did?” Fluff tilted his head in response.

[Huh? What do you mean?]

“So, I mean…”

As I tried to explain, the Wind approached.

[Di’am. Only you and I know about that matter. It’s better not to disclose it since others may have lost some memories due to her power.]

“Even Rageta?”

[She too.]

Wow.

A mind magic that even reached the mightiest wizard in existence.

Marked by such a World Tree.

I worry about my future…
