章 455: Erika's New Powers And A Plan To Heal The Forest

-----

The next day. After Erika's father body was cremated, we decided to bury his ashes not in the cemetery, but behind Erika's house. Her house was also rather far away from the main village square, and there were no houses around in a long vicinity. It was the ideal place to put his ashes. Erika wanted something aside from that, of course.

"Can't I grow a tree here where papa was buried?" She wondered.

"A tree? I guess you could, what sort of tree do you have in mind?" I wondered.

"The big one that Eric got!" Erika said happily.

"EEH?!"

Eric was surprised, and so was our entire group of friends.

"Wait a second Erika, that big tree… If we make another one the chief's going to get furious!" Said Elizabeth.

"W-We barely got into her good side. But I don't think he'll allow another big tree." Said Eric. "It kind of scares people off."

"Why would a big tree scare people?" Sighed Erika. "It is so beautiful and majestic… And it is so friendly and cute too, can't you tell?"
