While they were letting the members drink small amounts of the antidote, Luciel could also feel that he was getting a bit better.

It seemed that the antidote was still taking effect and was also working on the poison that they had again after fighting out of the wind barrier that Nate had made.

"So, why are you guys silent?" Luciel asked Sun and Thorn, as they had been silent for a long time already.

In the past, even though he wasn’t talking to them, the two were still noisy, talking to each other about what they were seeing, the things they had fought, or what they were hearing from the others.

Almost all the time, the two were talking if they weren’t training, so Luciel had to block them most of the time so that he wouldn’t hear them chattering.

However, this time, the two were obviously not training as they had been watching and had even helped when they were dealing with the snakes, but they hadn’t said anything after Thorn had given his warning a while ago.

[It’s just that those plants really hate humans; until the end, they were still saying that they would kill all humans. I don’t understand,] Thorn said.

[I understand it a little because I also thought all humans are bad when I just woke up. But I also seem not to understand,] Sun also said.

"It’s good that you guys don’t understand. Those two probably remembered something that happened around them or to them; that’s why they’re like that. Don’t think about it that much."

If the two were really cursing humanity until the end even when they were already about to die, then it just proved that their hatred was really deep.

The two plants probably saw a lot and also experienced something bad that humans had done, and those things probably happened many more times by other people again; that’s why they hate all humans in general.

Well, it’s not surprising that some conscious plants hate humanity, as they’ve probably experienced some bad things from humans, since most humans wouldn’t care too much about the plants around them.

If the plants weren’t for food or for decoration, most of them wouldn’t be cared for at all and even disregarded.

Being disregarded might actually be better for them as long as they’re in a place far from populated areas, as they would thrive.

However, even if they live in a place close to human settlements, there would always be some people going around to look for useful things or to just tour the place.

The place they were in was still accessible, as there was a nice road up the mountain because there are still a few houses in some places below them and also because of the cell tower.

It also seemed to be a place for tourists to visit, so those plants probably encountered something before; that’s why they all hated humans until their death.

However, he still didn’t recognize the purple plant, which shouldn’t be the case; since it’s a plant nearby, it shouldn’t be that rare, because if it was, he might have remembered it already.

While he was thinking, Thorn asked, [Why is it good that we don’t understand it?]

"Nothing much. You’ll learn about it when you guys grow much older, so you don’t need to ask about it."

It was good that they didn’t understand the feelings of those plants, because it meant that they hadn’t experienced such harshness from humans that would turn into deep hatred.

They’ll certainly see more things while they continue going out, so they’ll also learn more about it while growing up.

But at least they wouldn’t end up with such deep hatred just like the other plants, because they had a lot of human playmates that were also good to them.

As for Sun, who had said that he seemed to understand it but not quite, it was certainly because of the misunderstanding he had when he had just regained consciousness; that’s why he could understand it a little but not fully, as he didn’t experience anything harsh himself.

[I also wanted to talk to them longer as they’re the only ones we saw aside from Mr. Acacia; unfortunately, they didn’t want to talk to us and they’re already gone,] Sun said.

"Don’t worry, you guys will probably meet more conscious plants later."

There were only a few conscious plants, and the two little guys with him had only seen Mr. Acacia, so it’s understandable that they wanted to talk to those plants longer.

However, it’s good that they hadn’t been able to talk to those plants for a longer time, because they’d probably learn bad things from them since those plants really hated humans.

He and the others had dealt with those plants immediately, and he also hadn’t thought of taking them in as soon as they were poisoned by the purple plant.

Even if they had hated humans, Luciel could still be sure to find a way to take them, and after a long time, their hate would probably go away; so even though he didn’t plan to take them, he hadn’t planned to deal with them harshly until he tried communicating with them.

However, as soon as they were poisoned by the purple plant, he immediately thought of getting rid of them.

Such plants that could poison them unknowingly are a very troublesome thing and had to be dealt with immediately before they could even grow stronger.

If such a plant stayed by their side because they had forcefully established a contract, they’d certainly be in danger afterwards because the plant would continue growing.

With its hatred of humans, it would certainly retaliate later and cause a lot of problems, so they had quickly planned to deal with those plants without being lenient, not just because they had poisoned all of them, but also because they couldn’t be allowed to grow more powerful any longer.
