'Return to Nature'
Whenever she woke up from her sleep, this whisper would always echo in her mind.
I'm used to it.
But at that moment, the words she was about to say in response slipped out of her mouth and instead became:
"If I go to the Mage Council, can you guarantee me a quieter sleeping environment than here?"
Even though he couldn't see Heim Horn's expression, Kokot instinctively felt that he had paused for a moment.
Okay, maybe that's asking too much.
After Koko finished speaking, he leaned back against the tree branch, smacked his lips a few times, and closed his eyes again.
Heim Horn rested his head on his hand, pondering for a moment.
“Endymion has many kinds of magical creatures. If you need, I think we might be able to find something like a ‘bed’ that can provide a comfortable sleep.”
"That sounds good, I'll accept."
...
The Council of Mages did indeed keep its promise to Kokot, allowing her to sleep in Endymion indefinitely.
She only needs to wake up once at most during the annual meeting or when receiving guests, although she is still drowsy most of the time.
When was the last time Endymion slept?
As Kokote pondered, he gradually began to recall some memories.
“Kokot, I need your help to receive a newcomer who will soon be arriving at the Mage Council.”
Inside the council chamber, Kokot lay languidly atop a floating cloud, struggling to keep his heavy eyelids open, and complained helplessly to Heim Horn:
"Heim, I only woke up once a few days ago."
After all, she came to Endymion to enjoy a peaceful sleep, not to be busy with work.
However, a rare look of remorse appeared on Haim Horn's face.
"I'm sorry, but you just need to prepare for your last day of work."
Heim was quite helpless, and after a long silence, he began again:
"There are some problems with the upcoming new recruits."
“His reputation isn’t great, but he has amazing abilities, and our council desperately needs him.”
"Besides, he needs a seat in Congress, and I intend to give him your seat."
Does this mean she no longer needs to work?
Haim Horn's decision perfectly fulfilled her wish.
"That's good, as long as I can continue to enjoy long sleeps in Endymion."
Kokote yawned incessantly.
But the annoying voice in my head still lingered.
She didn't want to wake up; she just wanted to sleep peacefully forever.
Perhaps if she finishes her work tomorrow, she will never have to wake up again.
...
Koko lay comfortably on a cloud, while all sorts of strange creatures roamed the garden.
She yawned as she waited for the arrival of the intriguing newcomer.
An unusual aura broke the silence, and Kokot opened his eyes, propping himself up against the wall.
It was a man wearing a black trench coat, with a human girl who looked quite young beside him.
The man was a fourth-tier mage, while the girl appeared to be only a first-tier mage.
A first-tier mage can withstand Endymion's magical turbulence; what an amazing human girl.
Kokot secretly admired him.
Clearly, the mysterious newcomer Heim mentioned was the man standing before them.
She couldn't help but feel an innate warmth from him, even though the man's expression was cold and almost heartless.
This was Cocotte's first impression.
However, what happened next made her put the idea aside.
The fierce battle in Magic Canyon, like a surging wave, instantly dispelled her drowsiness.
That powerful force could move mountains and fill seas, and even the enormous Storm Dragon King yielded to it.
This newcomer is so strong it's breathtaking.
Then, at the very bottom of Endymion, the appearance of the Wood Calamity made Kokot even more vigilant.
Conversely, she simply couldn't fall asleep peacefully under these circumstances.
That period was the longest she remained lucid in Endymion.
For three whole days, Viktor fought the Wood Calamity.
And for the first time ever, she watched from the sidelines for three days.
Cocotte never imagined that she would be able to stay awake for so long.
The forces of the sun and the forest collide and intertwine like tides, the two contrasting elements entwining and fusing in their conflict.
The raging fury of the colossal beast tore through space, as if two worlds were being squeezed together by an alien force.
The scorching light, the flourishing vitality, and the destructive fury all intertwined and flashed before my eyes.
In the end, only endless chaos remained in that chaotic space.
But that phrase never echoed in her mind again—
[Return to Nature].
On the contrary, the madness before her eyes, piercing through layers of mist, seemed to reveal to her the true nature.
It was hazy and indistinct, intermittent.
...
Endymion was eventually destroyed by the bombing of its first three floors, as well as the garden that Kokot had carefully prepared.
Kokote has nowhere to sleep.
Although Haim Horn had said that a new place could be prepared for Kokot to sleep, it would take a long time.
But at that moment, Kokot pointed at Victor, who was about to end everything.
After all, if we really want to return to nature...
Then I'll choose this man.
...
Do you have a garden at home?
