The tree that Coai brought back... while the method used to retrieve it may not have been perfect, the tree itself seemed to be in good condition.

"Alright, let's replant it quickly."
"Replant... here?"
Akudo said they should replant the tree Coai had brought back.
It seemed Akudo possessed a great deal of knowledge about trees that was unknown to Coai.
In that case, it was probably best to leave it to him.
Though Coai had her doubts, she decided to follow Akudo's lead for the most part.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Hey, Chal."
Akudo first bowed his head to Coai, then turned to face the young man who had been waiting for her in the village.

"You remember where the spade is, right? Go get it. I'm going to talk to the village chief."
"Understood."
Coai didn't interject, silently watching as the large man ran toward the center of the village and the young man walked toward the edge, the two of them heading in slightly different directions.

After a short while, the large man, Akudo, returned first.

"Sorry, Your Majesty. It seems it's better not to plant it here. I was told of a better place, so let's go there."
"Is there a good or bad place for it?"
"Yeah... the winds get strong around here in early spring, so he said to plant it inside the village."

She understood that part, but shouldn't they wait for the young man?
She thought this, but before Coai could ask...

"Akudo-san, I brought it."
Even further behind Akudo... a figure holding a rod-like object, which looked like a weapon from a distance, slowly approached.
