Bear-san, Gives Finas Present, Elven Village Edition Part 2

I appreciate it, Missy. Ruimin was also looking forward to meeting Miss Sakura. (Mumroot)

As Mumroot-san was returning to the room, he thanked us for taking Ruimin with us.

If youre happy, then thats good enough.

I am the one who made the connection between Sakura and Ruimin, who are far away. Id feel if I didnt let them see each other once in a while.

Besides, Ruimin has never asked me to take her to the Land of Harmony, perhaps because she thought it would be a nuisance for me.

So this time Im going to take her with me.

Then I apologize to Fina for deciding to talk without her permission.

Fina, Im sorry for deciding on my own. (Yuna)

No, its fun to go with everyone. Honestly, it would have been nice if Noa-sama could have come with us. (Fina)

I havent told Noa about the bear gate, so I cant bring her with us.

And even if she knew, I might not have taken her this time anyway. She went to see the magic exchange, practiced magic, and she was neglecting other things. I dont think Cliff would have given her permission to go somewhere for an extended period of time.

But I would like to bring her with us someday.

I agree. When I can reveal it to Noa, Ill ask her to come with us. (Yuna)

Yes. (Fina)

What? Is there someone who is not tight-lipped? In that case, do you want to use contract magic? (Mumroot)

I politely declined Mumroot-sans proposal. I think Noa will keep her promise. But the timing to tell her was difficult to find. I could have told her as a birthday present, but I missed it. Well, the chance to tell her will come in time.

Then Ruimin, who had received permission from his parents, returned to explore the village.

As we walked through the village, the children gathered.

Apparently, Ruimins younger brother, Lucca, told them that we were coming.

Im sorry. Earlier, when I came home, I was told that Yuna-san was here. (Lucca)

Well, its within the margin of error, because as we walked through the village, anyone would easily notice my dress.

And then there are the girls I met when coming to Mumroot-sans house. Its not Luccas fault.

I introduced Fina and Shuri to the children.

Would it be okay if they could play with you? (Yuna)

The children nodded and invited Fina and Shuri to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Apparently, there were children who went to get them.

Fina and Shuri also wanted to go, so I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear and everyone went to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Everyone hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. Fina, Shuri, and the village children seemed to enjoy themselves.

Ruimin was like a big sister and took care of the children.

Take turns. If youre too rowdy, Ill have Yuna-san take them away. (Ruimin)

With this one word, the children behaved and it went calmly.

They took turns riding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, the group went into the forest to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Fina and Shuri went with the village children.

Its a secret, but Fina shouted because there were poisonous mushrooms among them.

And todays dinner was served with mushrooms and wild vegetables they had picked.

The food was prepared by Bena-san and Ruimins mother, Thalia-san. The two of them taught Fina how to cook.

She would make a good wife.

I would love for her to come to my house.

When its dinnertime, Lucca and Ruimins father, Artur-san, also came to Mumroot-sans house to eat with us

Then, that night, there was talk of going back to Crimonia by the bear gate, but Mumroot-san asked us to stay the night.

I couldnt refuse his kindness, besides, we were going to go to the capital together tomorrow, so I decided to accept his kindness and stay at Mumroot-sans house.

Did you have a good time today? (Yuna)

I got under the covers, looked at the unusual ceiling, and asked Fina and Shuri, who were holding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cubs on either side.

Yes, it was a lot of fun. (Fina)

Yeah, it was fun. (Shuri)

But Im tired. Everyone here is amazing. (Fina)

For those children, the forest is their playground. (Yuna)

I thought both Fina and Shuri were already physically strong, but the elven children were even tougher. Without my bear gear, I wouldnt have lasted more than a few minutes.

Were going to the capital tomorrow, right? (Fina)

Thats the plan. (Yuna)

Its strange. Even though the elf village and the royal capital are far away, I cant believe we can go there in an instant. Yuna-oneechan is really amazing. (Shuri)

I am not the great one, but the G.o.d who gave me the skills. Without the bear equipment, I would not be able to use magic, skills, or handle weapons because theyre too heavy, and I would be inferior to the physical strength of a child.

So Im not great.

While I was thinking about how to answer, I heard soft breathing from both sides. It seemed that Fina and Shuri were both tired and had fallen asleep.

Both of them are resting. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear go take a rest too. (Yuna)

Kuu~n

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried softly so as not to wake them up.

I was tired too, so I decided to go to sleep.

The next morning, I thought for a moment Huh? when I noticed that the ceiling was different, but then I looked to my left and right and immediately remembered. On either side of me were Fina and Shuri, who were sleeping comfortably with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in their arms. Fina, who always wakes up early, was sleeping soundly, which means she must have been tired from playing yesterday. Thanks to the polar bear suit, I feel refreshed.

Id like to let them sleep a little longer, but we have plans to go out again today, so I decided to wake them up.

Its morning, you two. Wake up. (Yuna)

I lightly shake their bodies.

Oneechan, a little more (Shuri)

Shuri hugged Swaying Bear.

Is it morning already? Good morning, Yuna-oneesan. (Fina)

Fina immediately got up. Then she looked at Shuri.

Shes still sleepy.

Fina got up and sat down next to Shuri and shook Shuris body hard.

Shuri, hurry up and get up, or youll miss breakfast. (Fina)

U~u, thats not good. (Shuri)

Then wake up. (Fina)

Shuri gets up with a whimper.

As expected of sisters. Theyre used to waking the other one up.

Good morning, Oneechan Where are we? (Shuri)

She asked while looking around.

Are you still half asleep?

Its Ruimins grandfathers house. Did you forget? (Fina)

Oh, thats right. We came to play. (Shuri)

She seemed to have remembered.

Well, I cant blame her. For a moment, I also thought, Where am I?

We got dressed, left the room, and headed for the usual room. Mumroot-san was already there.

Good morning, Mumroot-san. (Yuna)

Good morning. (Fina)

Morning. (Shuri)

We each greeted Mumroot-san.

Did you sleep well? (Mumroot)

We slept soundly. (Yuna)

When I was greeting Mumroot-san, Bena-san brought us breakfast. Fina saw it and offered her help, and she helped carry the dishes. Shuri imitated that and helped carry them as well.

Mumroot-san, is it safe for you to leave the village for a while? (Yuna)

I asked in a whisper while looking at his wife.

Its alright. She knows that me and Ruimin used contract magic. So she understands that I cant talk about it. I feel bad for my wife, but it is what it is. (Mumroot)

I feel like Im doing something wrong. At that time, we had just met for the first time, and Mumroot-san had approached me about contract magic, so I just went with the flow and used that contract magic.

Do you want to break the contract magic? You can do that, right? (Yuna)

I can dispel it, but theres no problem with it as is. I made a promise not to tell anyone. Then its the same whether we have a contract or not. Its the same with my wife, thats what I promised her. Besides, Bena knows that, so she wont ask me anything. (Mumroot)

Thats cool.

But if it becomes too hard for you to keep quiet from Bena-san, just let me know. I know that Mumroot-san and Bena-san are not the kinds of people to talk about it to others. (Yuna)

Well, I guess Ill ask you then. (Mumroot)

Then, as we were finis.h.i.+ng breakfast, Ruimin arrived.

With everyone present, we went to the place where the bear gate was located.

When we got out to the village, Mumroot-san and Ruimin rode on Swaying Bear. Finna, Shuri, and I hopped on Hugging Bear. Fina was in front, me in the middle, then Shuri was at the rear hugging me.

Just barely made it.

Mumroot-san looked kind of happy the first time he rode Swaying Bear. Perhaps he really wanted to ride on him?

Fufu, Ive been looking forward to it. (Ruimin)

Dont get lost like you did when you first came to the capital. (Yuna)

Ugh, that time (Ruimin)

Ruimins expression, which was happy, became depressed.

I guess I teased her a little too much.

Im just kidding. Its a big city so it cant be helped. Besides, it was your first time there, anyone would get lost. (Yuna)

Like anywhere, youd never know where to go for the first time. If you go to an unknown place with no smartphone or map, its inevitable that you will get lost in that situation.

I dont know everything about the capital either. I have been lost at times. But basically, the castle was visible, so if I aim for the castle, at least I can get back home.

Well, I have a bear map, so if Ive been to a place once, I wont get lost.

Were you lost too, Yuna-san? (Ruimin)

In my case, I had someone to show me the way, so I was fine, but I think I would have gotten lost on my own. (Yuna)

I comforted Ruimin.

Then we came to the place where the bear gate was placed.

Missy. Can we go anywhere through that door? (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san asked while looking at the bear gate.

Just to the places where I put the other gate. So I have to go there at least once. (Yuna)

Even in the game, I could only go to and from places I had been to once, which I think is normal.

If we could freely go to places we have never been, it would not be a game and that would be boring.

Above all, its enough that the places you can go to are those you have been to on your own.

Now then, I will open the door to the royal capital. (Yuna)

I opened the door of the bear gate connected to the royal capital.
