When people say, "There`s something in the water." they don`t usually mean it literally.

　　I do.

　　Since being planted in this suspicious soup with a high mana signature level, I can affirm, there is something in the water.

　　Not just the enormous amount of mana.

　　Not just the tasty bits that I don`t look closely at.

　　No, there is definitely something further.

　　I can`t really place what it is though&

　　However, I am sure of what it does, the something in the water, it imparts Law to me.

　　I have a Fire, Water, and Lightning Root, however now I`m getting inklings.

　　I feel like I can almost grasp the beginnings of another Root.

　　Ethereal, uncontainable, without form, or flavor.The author`s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

　　Minor Wind Root has formed!

　　This&does not bode well.

　　Even though it`s been a long time away from the Earth, I still remember those documentaries.

　　The ones about livestock.

　　The ones about fattening livestock.

　　Just because I`m a plant doesn`t make it any less probable.

　　Here`s my working theory.

　　Old Lady A finds a plant with 3 Law level Roots growing on it.

　　She thinks to herself, "Ah! If I feed it more stuff, can I get more Law Roots?!"

　　And thus the current circumstances arise.

　　Rustle&

　　No, I don`t think I`m being paranoid here!

　　We could be on the verge of being fattened up, and then, killed!

　　And then ground up in a mortar and pestle and used for some evil purpose!

　　&Rustle&

　　What do you mean you recognize the old lady?

　　The hell didn`t you share this valuable information earlier?!

　　Rustle.

　　You knew we had nothing to fear?

　　This wasn`t information you thought was valuable enough to tell your partner immediately!?

　　Rustle! Ruuuuustle! Rrrrrrrrrrrustle!

　　Wait a second here, I tell you everything important!

　　Rustle.

　　Well, no, I didn`t think you`d want to be bothered by the fact that there was an accidental outbreak of carnivorous moss in my lab.

　　Rustle.

　　Seriously? You never indicated you cared about when I harvested all those samples from your newly grown greenery.

　　Besides, who could have known they would almost eat the kids?

　　RUSTLE.

　　Eh&.ok, perhaps I sometimes keep a few things from you.

　　However&.

　　&.

　　&..

　　&&

　　Ok, I can`t think up a good reason for some of that stuff under the pressure of possible imminent death.

　　Rustle.

　　What do you mean there`s no way we could die under the care of a suspicious old lady, who you still haven`t told me who they are?

　　Rustle.

　　What!? There are actual Gods around here?!

　　Wait, that`s a stupid name. Can`t she think of anything better?

　　Rustle&

　　On second thought that`s a delightful name, the Green Lady, yes, lovely.

　　And no, you don`t need to tell her what I thought about it.
