I Got Isekai’d, Well Shyt!

Ch.110 Well, that Escalated Quickly

"Dammit! It's been years and this stupid seed won't grow! Haah... I don't know what to do, brother!" Yuliana said to herself as she paced around the inside of her house.

Yuliana had beautiful long emerald green hair and green eyes. She had a curvy body with big breasts and large hips. Her most prominent feature was her ass. She had a strong-willed personality that sometimes got on her brother's nerves. She used to be slimmer frame and had smaller breasts before she got pregnant with Nieren.

Yuliana would wear a light skin-tight yellow dress that had a light green corset with yellow strings which made her cleavage stand out. She also wore black thigh-high stockings and boots that had white roses on them. She had what looked to be two tattoos of vines growing up her left arm and down her right leg.

"And where is Nieren!? She's been gone for almost two weeks now!" Yuliana yelled out as she walked past her bedroom door.

Her room was filled with shelves of books and scrolls along the walls. There was a desk next to a window that had a full set of magical tools. The floor was covered in a thick carpet of reds and blues.

Yuliana's bed was made from polished redwood with silk sheets that were spread across it. A wooden chandelier hung above the bed with various leaves hanging from it.

She closed her bedroom door and sighed heavily. "I'm tired... I think I need some tea," Yuliana said as she walked towards the kitchen.

As she walked through the door to the kitchen Yuliana heard Nieren's special knock on the door. "Huh? Nieren!?" She called out. She heard the door open and there was her daughter standing in the doorway.

"Mom!? I'm back home!" Nieren said out loud as she motioned to Rya and Dalia to wait outside the front door as she walked in.

Yuliana turned around to see a Nieren with her bright green eyes, golden blonde hair, and wearing leather adventurer's gear with her cloak standing in front of her.

"Nieren!" Yuliana yelled as she ran over to hug her daughter.

"Thank the Gods and Spirits! You're safe!" Yuliana said as she hugged her tightly.

'Oh thank the Gods, she isn't mad!' Nieren thought.

Yuliana then stepped back to get a look at her daughter.

"By the Gods and Spirits! Do you know how angry I was when you disobeyed me!?... Do you know what would have happened if you were caught by those goblins!? Or worse. The Black Roses! The same people that killed your uncle, and ruined the Wood Elf Kingdom!... No of course you didn't! You ran off, so you could go on a Quest! Doing whatever you were doing before the Mercenaries showed up in the city! When they left, I thought you were caught! I thought the final heir was in slavery or dead. Destroying any hope for our people! So, I'm done with your excuses! You're going to quit the adventuring lifestyle and stay here helping me with the plants, Nieren!" Yuliana yelled at her daughter until she was blue in the face.

Nieren was stunned, she had never seen her mother this mad before. 'No! I was mistaken, Mom's furious! I think I see some veins bulging out of her forehead.' Nieren thought in a panic.

"So tell me, Nieren! Was it worth it? Was it worth it to go against the word of your mother?" Yuliana asked in a stern tone as she stared intently at her daughter.

Nieren looked down. "Yes, it was worth it, Mother," Nieren mumbled as her usual confident self was in hiding.

"YOU!!!" Yuliana stopped herself from screaming more at her daughter's response, "You keep playing stupid games, Nieren. You'll win stupid prizes. And you won BIG time, my daughter. Now give me your bow and blades."

Nieren kept her head low and tightened her fists. She didn't want to hand over her weapons. All she wanted to do was help her and her mother. But Yuliana won't listen to her. She kept treating her like a child. Nieren was a few decades away from being an adult and it wasn't that far away. She just wished her mother would trust her.

Nieren understood not to take any unnecessary risks when she went on her quests. And if she felt that she was in over her head she knew to back out.

"I am not giving up these items. I earned them," Nieren said as she shook her head.

"You disobedient little— Where did I go wrong!" Yuliana screamed as she stormed towards Nieren.

***

Rya and Dalia were outside when they heard Nieren's mother shouting at her.

"What should we do?" Dalia asked looking concerned about the situation.

"I don't know," Rya sighed in exasperation, "But something needs to be done."

So, Rya walked into the house with her head held high.

'I don't know what I'm doing. Please, don't let this get worse than it is,' Rya thought as she walked straight towards the angry wood elf.

"Nieren! What did I tell you about leaving the city!" Yuliana shouted at her daughter as she held one of her daughter's arms. Yuliana was about to discipline her daughter when she noticed a shadow coming from the door.

'By the Gods! I must be yelling so loud that the neighbo—' Yuliana's thoughts stopped when she saw who was standing at the doorway. She noticed that she was wearing pink 5-inch heels with an elegant blue dress that showed off her right leg and cleavage from breasts that rivaled her own. Her white hair which seemed to glow was in a complex and stylish braid. It made her look noble. And lastly, she noticed her skin tone and her ears.

'A D-D-Dark Elf!?! NO! THEY FOUND US!' Yuliana thought in a panic as the color in her face turned pale. She moved in front of her daughter to shield her from the intruder.

"Nieren! Run!"

Rya stood there puzzled for a moment before she realized that her mother was trying to protect her daughter from her.

"Mother!?" Nieren said as she was perplexed by her mother's actions. Why would she try to shield her? But Nieren saw Rya and she started to panic.

"We've been found out! Grab your things and run! I'll head her off! NOW GO!" Yuliana ordered.

"But, Mother-"

"Now!" Yuliana shouted in a panic.

Rya wasn't expecting things to turn out like this as she noticed Nieren's mother channeling her mana.

'Well, this escalated! I need to try and defuse this! But how?' Rya thought as her sixth sense was telling her that Yuliana had traps set under the floor boards and up in the ceiling.

"MOM! WAIT—"

"Take this, you FIEND! HAYAH!" Yuliana said as she sent out her mana into her vine plant traps.

Nieren didn't have time to stop her mother from attacking Rya as the green vines came flying through the floorboards and out of the ceiling going straight towards her friend.

'Rya!' Nieren thought in horror as she watched the vines flying out at her and were closing in fast on Rya.

Rya on the other hand was surprised by how calm she felt while being attacked. She didn't know why but she felt a connection to the plants coming straight towards her. So she raised her hand slightly while channeling her mana into the air in front of her.

Just as the vines were about the strike her with their thorns. They started slowing down until they came to a stop after Rya's mana interacted with them.

"Why… Why aren't my vines moving anymore?" Yuliana said with bewilderment.

"Mom, please! Stop it!" Nieren begged, but Yuliana wouldn't listen as she was trying to come up with another plan.

It was then that one of the vines started rubbing up against Rya's hand like how a cat would rub their cheeks against a person's hand.

'Aw! I didn't know plants could be so cute... Wait? Did I just think a plant was cute? I mean it kinda reminds me of my childhood cat. Haah... I miss that cat.' Rya thought as she enjoyed the feel of the vines.

Dalia walked up next to Rya to see what was going on and saw the tamed vines. Rya then looked up to see Yuliana looking terrified at what she was witnessing. 

'She can connect with the forest spirits! That means she can control them. We're doomed!' Yuliana thought as she didn't know what to do to stop this Dark Elf.

"MOM! Are you listening to me!? She's my friend! Her name is Rya," Nieren said angrily while trying to reason with her mother.

Yuliana finally snapped out of her stupor and looked at her daughter with a shocked expression.

"Y-You're friend!? But she's a fiend, a demon!? She'll conquer us!" Yuliana shouted.

"Mother! Stop saying that!" Nieren pleaded with her mother to stop talking badly about Rya.

"B-But she's a monster! You can see the bloodlust in her eyes!" Yuliana shouted back while pointing at the Dark Elf who was just standing there doing nothing but Listening to everything that was going on. Her right eye was twitching with irritation but she kept quiet.

'Bloodlust in my eyes? Really? Now that's rich coming from a woman who attacked me on sight. Haah... Is it because of all these stories about Dark Elves? It must have clouded her mind.' Rya thought as she calmed herself before looking at Yuliana with a wry smile.

Yuliana noticed Rya smile and yelled, "What fiendish spell have you put on my daughter! Tell me now!"

Nieren's eyes widened as she got furious.

"Mother! STOP! YOU'RE NOT LISTENING! THOSE STORIES THAT YOU AND THE ELDERS TOLD ME ABOUT ARE ALL WRONG!" Nieren shouted in outrage.

'NO! It's worse than I thought! She's brainwashed my child into thinking that Dark Elves are creatures of good!' Yuliana thought. She needed to save her daughter, no matter how. 

"Nieren! Listen to me!... That's what she wants you to think! She's using you because she knows we are of royal blood! If she doesn't get her way, then she'll kill us both! Do you understand!?" Yuliana demanded while grabbing her daughter's shoulders and shook her. 

"Are you even hearing yourself right now!?... Mother! Stop for one second and listen! She's not evil!" Nieren shouted back.

Yuliana was having none of it and continued to argue with her daughter as she completely forgot that Rya, who was standing there by the door petting the vines. 

***

Dalia came in closer to Rya and whispered, "Why is Woody's mom so weird? It's like she's in her own world!"

Rya just shrugged.

"Some people like to only see what they want to see, regardless of facts. Sadly, Nieren's mother wants to paint me as evil." Rya said to Dalia as they watched Nieren try to reason with her mother.

"Yeah, your race is just misunderstood," Dalia said with a gentle tone.

"That's very kind of you to say, Dalia. I just wish there was some way to help Nieren— Huh?," Rya noticed something strange on the table in the middle of the room.

There were three potted plants with each of them having a giant seed in them. The seeds were the size of a peach. And the thing that was odd about them was these sickly purple particles flowing inside them. Rya was the only one who could see them.

It was almost like seeing the red particles in Dalia's body when she had her injuries as well as everyone else who was injured. 

'What's the deal with these things? Were they poisoned or something?' Thought Rya as she commanded the vines to return before she started walking towards the table.

Dalia followed behind her, "Is something wrong, Alpha?"

"Those things over on the table seem to be poisoned? I think I can heal them," Rya answered as they walked passed the arguing mother and daughter who were too distracted to notice Rya approaching the Elder Tree seeds.

"I'm tired of arguing with you Nieren! She can't be trusted! You should know bette— Huh!? NO! STAY AWAY FROM THERE!" Yuliana stopped arguing with her daughter when she noticed Rya approaching the table.

She quickly grabbed hold of her daughter and pulled her back.

"Y-You're going to die if you touch those! Y-Yeah!... Nieren! Don't listen to that crazy woman! She's lying to you!" Said Yuliana, sounding like a crazy person.

Rya paid no attention as she touched the first seed and removed whatever was affecting it. It took about fifteen seconds before she could see the purple particles fading away.

'Damn! Whatever this stuff is, is taking a crap load of my mana to remove. Gah! Almost done!' Rya thought to herself as she healed the first seed.

It took a few more seconds before the seed started sprouting a new sapling from it. Yuliana's eyes widened in shock as she saw the Elder Tree seed start to grow.

'The Elder Tree? It is alive? I thought it was impossible...' Yuliana ran over to the table next to Rya so she could get a closer look. So, she could make sure her eyes weren't deceiving her.

Yuliana's hand was shaking as she reached out and touched the plant. She channeled her mana into the Elder Tree sapling to see if she could connect with it.

'By the Gods and Spirits! The Elder Tree lives! I-I never thought I see the day. It's a miracle!' Yuliana was shocked at what she saw as she was able to connect with the plant.

Nieren came running over to her mother and saw the sapling.

"Rya! You got the Elder Tree to grow!? I didn't know that was possible!" Nieren said with excitement before she continued to talk, "See Mom! How can she be evil if she can grow our sacred tree?! Wasn't that supposed to be something only a wood elf can grow!?"

"Ugh! I-I don't know!" Yuliana said as she looked at the sapling. Then her face turned bright red with embarrassment.

'But she's a Dark Elf? It should be impossible... Why is she doing this for us?... I thought they wished for the destruction of all the other elves?' Yuliana thought to herself.

"Who are you?" Yuliana asked as she stood up straight and looked at Rya.

"I'm Nieren's friend," Rya said with a smile.

Yuliana stared into Rya's glowing azure eyes to see if she could see if there was any lie or deception behind the words. After a moment she couldn't sense any ill intent towards her. Which made her feel a bit of relief but she kept her guard up.

"I have been trying to grow the Elder Tree seeds for decades. What did you do? How is it possible you were able to grow one? Where I, a princess of the Wood Kingdom could not?" Asked Yuliana as she looked at Rya wondering if she'd answer her or not.

Rya glanced at her with a perplexed look before she said, "Yeah, I don't know why, but these seeds were giving off a sickly aura of purple particles. And I was able to cure the first one but it took a lot of mana out of me."

Yuliana raised an eyebrow, "Y-You said they all had a sickly aura?"

"Yeah, it seems to be preventing them from growing... Here. I'll show you." Rya said as she cured the next seed that had fewer purple particles in it.

It took a few seconds before the next seed started to grow another sapling right before their very eyes.

'She got another one to grow! I don't understand how she's doing it!' Yuliana thought to herself as she checked that sapling to make sure Rya wasn't using some type of trick or illusion on her. And again, it was the real thing.

'Could she have some sort of power that allows her to do this?' Yuliana thought as she looked at Rya in awe.

"Hmm? This last seed seems to have a higher concentration of whatever is infecting it. I think I can isolate it and push it out?" Rya said as she picked up the last seed in her hand and then examined it.

"Hmm? What do you need, Lady Rya?" Nieren asked as she walked over to Rya.

"Can you get a cup or an empty vial while I isolate the infection? I think it's liquid-based but I'm not sure," Rya asked while examining the last seed.

Nieren nodded her head and ran over to a cupboard at the end of the room. She pulled out a small glass vial that would be used for potions.

"Will this work?" Nieren called back to Rya.

Rya nods her head and says, "Yes, it will. It might be too big, but it will work for isolating the liquid."

Nieren walks back over and tries to hand the vial over to Rya.

"Nieren, can you hold it under the seed for me, please? I'm going to need all my concentration for this one," Rya requested.

Nieren nods and takes the vial in her hands as she holds it underneath the seed.

Rya then closes her eyes as she uses her healing magic to move whatever the liquid is out of the seed.

'Come on, Rya! Just focus and breathe. That's it... I can feel it moving to the bottom of the seed,' Rya thought to herself as she isolated the liquid.

What took seconds to cure the first two seeds took a minute with the last seed. Rya was breaking into a sweat as she continued to heal the seed.

"Nieren... It's almost out! Get ready!" Rya said as she focused and kept her eyes closed.

"I'm ready," said Nieren as she held onto the vial and waited patiently.

Dalia was staring silently at the seed waiting to see what will happen. While Yuliana skeptically watched Rya. She wasn't sure if she was playing up whatever she was doing to try to trick her.

Just then Rya felt the liquid was ready to come out at the bottom of the seed.

"Now!" Rya yelled out.

That's when a small droplet of dark purple liquid came out of the seed and fell into the glass vial. They had to look closely to see if there was anything at all.

Rya breathed out a silent relief and placed the seed back in its pot. Which sprouted the third Elder Tree before Yuliana's eyes.

"Wow! What is this purple stuff?" Nieren said as she looked at the tiny droplet in the vial.

"Hey, let me have a look at it," Dalia said as she took the vial and sniffed the opening.

"D-Dalia!? Don't sniff it! You might accidentally inhale it!" Rya said as she snatched it away from her.

"Pff! Like I let that happen. Anyway, it smells like monster blood. I don't know what type of monster though. It's not anything I smelled before. I don't know if it's a monster from this continent?" Dalia pondered as she tilted her head. She was trying to recall if she'd ever smelled a similar scent before. But she was coming up empty.

"Well, that's something that least," Rya said as she looked at the small droplet through the glass vial.

'Damn! Even with my elven eye, I can't tell what this stuff might be. Haah... Well, Dalia thinks it smells like monster's blood. I wonder what type of monster has poisonous blood that can affect a plant? Hmm? I wonder if anyone invented microscopes on Tertius? I mean, I wouldn't be able to make heads or tails of what I was looking at, but maybe someone else would?' Rya thought as she continued looking at the vial.

Yuliana on the other hand had a troubled look on her face. She seemed to know what that droplet was.

"Your name was Rya, right? M-May I see the vial, please? I want to take a closer look," Yuliana asked nervously.

"Oh, uhm sure... Here you go," Rya said as she handed her the vial.

Yuliana grabbed the vial and brought it up to her eye. And on closer inspection, she knew what it was.
