บท 559: Unusual Relationship

It was an unspoken rule that spriggans who were guardians of their trees must guard their secrets with their lives. It was so in ancient times, and it would remain the same, even in the future. That much, Zero understood. However, there was no mention of how the relationship between a spriggan and a world tree should be. For some, they were friends, and for others, they were mother and child. In Spriggan Alex and The Tree of the Future's case, they were neither. They didn't get along very well.

"But aren't the souls of the world tree and their spriggans intertwined?" Zero asked in confusion. Shouldn't spriggan Alex be a little more accomodating?
