Frozen Tree

[

Knock, knock. Are you here?

- Something is making loud noise near the top of the tree. -

...Oh, yes. Yes!

Monsters were looking at me, so I climbed up this tree without even thinking!

How can I get down now?

Oh wait, I can see everything so clearly from here.

I guess staying here will be much safer and easier for studying monsters.

...I'm looking at Hillsrion, the creature that people are talking about.

It's covered with soft fur that reminds me of soft ice flakes floating in the air.

...Oh, sorry.. I was just talking to myself.

I'll be watching the Hillsrions from this tree.

Their horns might possess a special power. And I want to have them for further research.

...5 horns will be enough.

I'd like to study Hillsrion's Horns. Please bring 5 of them for me, okay.

...*Shiver*...

Ah! You're back!

Phew...

Are you okay? Their fangs look so sharp and shiny...

Oh right, you're an expert when it comes to this kind of job. Hahaha, I don't have to worry about you anymore.

Have you brought Hillsrion's Horns?

Those are the horns in your hands?

Oh...

Ho...

Well, they appear to be ordinary horns with a spiral pattern.

Monsters with such horns are a dime a dozen in Midgard.

I, however, still have no idea how Hillsrions use their horns.

If they have bad vision, they could use the horns as feelers, or... I know you don't want to hear me ramble on with my conjecture. Sorry.

We can call it a day for today. Thanks to you, I now feel confident enough to at least come to this tree by myself next time.

Let's go back to the camp. Shall we? I have something to discuss with you.
