It's huge up close.

The tree's flowers should
blossom any day now.

Yeah, I wish I could
see it in bloom.

I know how you feel. There's something about the
image of a tall tree vibrant with blossoms and
protecting the city that's so...romantic.

You know, I'm going to stay here
and help heal the injured.

Hmm, if you're going to heal something,
maybe you could heal the barrier itself?

What do you mean?

When monsters come again, more
people are gonna get hurt.

Those kids we just saw
could be among them.

That's true, but I have no idea
how I could heal the barrier.

What you need to heal is this tree.
It wouldn't be in this condition just
because some monsters attacked it.

You think there's
some other reason?

I think there's gotta be.

What are the two of
you doing over here?

We're trying to figure out why
the tree has withered like this.

I don't know if you'll make much progress
on that one. That knight, Flynn, couldn't
figure out the reason either.

Oh, Karol! Karol,
we need your help!

...What are you talking about?

It seems these two are trying to figure
out the reason the tree's withered so.

Oh, is that all?

What do you mean, “is that all?”

I know the reason. It's why
I was in the forest looking
for the eggbear...

Huh? What are you talking about?

Look closely at the ground.
Notice the strange color?

That color is where the ground absorbed the
blood of monsters who attacked the town.

That blood has been poisoning Halure's tree.

What! The monster blood?
I had no idea...

Karol, you really know your stuff, don't you?

...It was nothing.

Is there anything we can do
to get rid of the poison?

I know a way, but...well,
no one believes me.

Come on, try us.

I think we'd be able to do it
if we had a panacea bottle.

Maybe we can get one
in the General Store.

Let's go, Yuri!
