It was a very exciting experience to walk through the glittering forest with the fairies.

"Do you mind if I take some things here?"

'Nah, not really.'

"People don't come here very often."

"...at least a little."

"I don't mind."

The fairies reply to me one by one.

 The fairies are always asking me questions, as if interacting with humans is so rare.

"People are greedy."

"And mean."

"And they hurt each other.

"And they attack each other."

"Is that so? No?"

I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask you, but I'll concentrate on answering them to satisfy the fairy's needs.

"Well, there are two kinds of people."

"Are divided into two kinds."

"I see."

"What about you, Missoula?"

Oh, the name of the wise Missoula has come up.

 It's a lucky break.

"Do you think they'll let me see Missoula?"

Apparently, to sum up what the fairies said, Misora the Wise has been in this forest for a long time and is the one who brings the fairies together.

"If there is a human, I will report it to Misora."

"This is the role of the Boktati."

 So it's a reasonable assumption that Missoula already knows that I've arrived in this forest.

If so, it would not be a problem to search for Missoula while proudly collecting the gems.

 To be honest, I'd be wary of doing anything rash, as I'm sure there's a reason why they're hiding the gem-producing forest and crystal clearing like this.

Well, maybe they wanted to keep it a secret in terms of protecting something rare, since it has a name like 'producing gems'.

But for the moment, I'm just picking up material from around the area.

When you examine a plant or flower.

You have obtained a leaf crystal.

You have obtained a flower crystal.

I examined the tree.

You have obtained a crystal branch.

You have obtained a leaf crystal.

From a tree with a sap-like substance flowing.

We got amber water!

 Whoa!

 It's a shiny, candy-coloured liquid.

 It looks like honey.

When I looked closely for other liquid materials, I saw a large leaf with a glittering object.

Droplets of water on leaves.

I've got a crystal drop!

 Oh!

 We got a silvery liquid!

"People are fun."

'There are so many of them!'
