This is a truly confusing answer.
Finally, Hiro, who happened to be passing by with a bowl of nuts, came over and quickly explained the whole story: "Oh! That one, that's not the World Tree, but a projection of the World Tree. It's a [simulated illusion] that only has the appearance of the World Tree but doesn't have any essence. It's just that the effect looks impressive. It's just an illusion that will automatically disappear when it's impacted by external forces to a certain limit."
"According to my mentor, someone had been hiding the Phantom Tree with a concealment barrier for many years, which caused it to disappear without a trace.

Fortunately, she will soon be able to have a close conversation with the new fairies who will be moving into the small garden, and try to obtain more accurate information.
Never mind, I have other things to do now.
Smiling, I saw Hikari off as she kept turning back to look at me, and then let her continue her treatment. I glanced around, secretly pulled up my cloak, activated invisibility, and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, headed towards the ward where the city lord was recuperating.
Go check on how the people you saved are doing now.
And to inquire with the other party about the cause of the incident.
I have a feeling that perhaps here I can catch the fox's tail that I've been searching for all day but haven't been able to find.
