After Meg saves a daughter and a mother from the devil, it’s evident that she needs to uphold her ideals. With that, she faces a similar situation as Inori comes to look after Meg while Faust is away.
Meg receives a request from the mayor of Lapis five months after being told she has only a year to live. It’s about that the tree that Flare seems to like that Meg brought her there before she passed away.
It’s obvious it’s hard to save the tree, and the only way to protect the town is by cutting it down. After all, it absorbed too much magical power, and it could potentially destroy the whole town. Inori revealed that this phenomenon occurred in a tree that had grown out of control. It eventually turned the land into a desert with a radius of 100 km. This disaster resulted from human exploitation of the land, which led to pollution and destruction. Sure, it’s tough for Meg to accept that she has to get rid of the tree, but does she have no choice?
Eventually, Meg sees a little girl from the tree in front of her. She is the spirit of the tree. Of course, Inori can’t see it, so Meg consults with Chloe about it. Even she can’t detect it and believes it’s something foreign that is created within the cosmos. Of course, Meg lied to Inori by saying she is a spirit in an attempt to save her possibly.
After making the preparations, the spirit asks if Meg is going to get rid of her. She knows her fate as she doesn’t know how much longer she has to live. Even so, she is confident that Meg can handle it. With that, Meg eventually gives the spirit a name, Serena, based on the color of her hair. She showed her around town and even took her to Flare’s grave. Of course, the spirit seems to know her as a friend, as nobody seems to visit her anymore, despite her connection to Lapis.
After Meg told her about the cherry blossom spell that turned trees into cheery blossoms, Serena wished that she could make memorable flowers bloom, too. After all, she is only an oak tree that is plain and next time, she wants to entertain people a little more with something that brings joy.
Eventually, the time has come to burn the tree. However, when Meg finds Serena, she is disfigured, like she is becoming a monster. She wants Meg to mercy kill her, and Meg becomes shocked. Serena is no ordinary spirit.
As she runs away, Inori notifies her that the tree is out of control. However, Meg insists that she wants to save Serena. Sure, Meg’s legs got injured when she fell from the tree, throwing her to the ground.
However, after remembering what Faust said about seeing it through to the end, Meg manages to pull through and activate a spell. Not only did she save the town, but she changed the tree into a cherry blossom, saving Serena in the process. Yes, it took Meg to recover from her injuries, thanks to Inori’s help. It shows that she can achieve her ideals while making history by changing a species in reincarnation, despite a setback from the last time when she was unable to save Mary’s father. Faust believes that Meg’s magic will be vital as she confronts difficulties that she cannot imagine. What is it? We’ll probably find out soon. Either way, it seems everyone enjoys the new tree, as Meg names the species after Serena. Still, it’s a feat that Meg should be proud of, although she acts like it’s like it’s nothing important. I suppose it’s probably because she’s still recovering.
