Chapter 31: Bear-san Goes To See Finas Sick Mother

Today is a holiday.

Like Fina, Im also taking the day off.

A lot of things were established during this one month.

First of all, when a skill levels up, it is learned automatically.

Right now, I have learned six skills.

Different Worlds Spoken Language:

Can understand a different worlds language. (If I didnt have this, itd be bad.)

Different Worlds Written Language:

Can read and write the letters of a different world. (I can work in the guild because I have this.)

Bears Dimensional Box:

Can store inanimate objects. (Experiment result: infinite size)

Bears Eyes of Observation:

Can see the effects of items and weapons. (Well, you can normally do this in a typical game.)

Bears Sense of Danger Perception:

Can discover the location of dangerous monsters and thieves. (Its convenient to know the locations of monsters, yeah.)

Bears Map:

Creates a map of previously visited locations. (Its a basic mapping system from RPGs.)

Magic was categorized separately from skills.

There seemed to be certain rules for magic in this world.

I had to make a personal effort to learn magic.

However, in my situation, I was able to learn magic much more easily, thanks to the Bear.

In reality, when I inserted magic power into the Bear, the Bear would activate the magic for me.

For that reason, if I didnt have the Bear, I wouldnt be able to use magic.

In this world, the power of magic relies on the creativity of the mental image used.

Knowledge, imagination, that sort of thing.

For example, if I used the image of a gas burner when using fire magic, a flame that was capable of melting iron would come out.

Its likely that even if I showed this magic to the inhabitants of this world, they wouldnt be able to activate this magic, because they wouldnt know about gas burners.

As for ice, it was impossible for them to use an image of stopping the movement of water molecules.

That was why, when people in this world wanted to create ice, they would use ice magic.

Not to mention, the incident when Fina collapsed.

Wound healing magic was also influenced by an image.

When I imagined the wound closing up, I was able to seal the wound.

I had not verified it yet but, in the case of healing severe wounds, I would probably be able to heal it if I imagined blood vessels connecting together.

Moreover, the fever-lowering magic.

If this were in a game, it would be categorized as a status-ailment curing magic.

Erasing the germs, or poisons, inside the body seems possible.

While I was thinking about things like this worlds skill system, the doorway became rather noisy.

There was a barrier covering the Bear House.

When the Bear House was built, it automatically activated.

It was set so that people I had not authorized could not enter the barrier.

Unapproved people were absolutely unable to enter the house.

Currently, the only person who could enter the Bear House was Fina.

I thought of going down to the first floor, but the moment I opened the door and stepped out into the hallway, Fina came flying in.

Big sis Yuna!

Somehow, her appearance was strange.

Finas body was trembling as she hugged me.

Whats wrong?

I separated from Fina and lifted her head to look at her face.

Her eyes were red from crying.

B-Big sis Yuna, m-my mother has!

Calm down first.

My mother was in pain, andeven though she drank medicineit was no goodI went to see Uncle Gentz, buthe went out to look for medicine and hasnt come backI-I, what should I do?

It seemed like her mothers condition was dangerous.

Un, I understand, so can you guide me to your house?

There was a possibility that the status ailment curing magic could be used to treat her mother.

I headed to Finas house together with her.

It was a small house, with three people living in it.

After entering the house, we went to the room Finas mother was lying in.

The woman lying in the bed seemed to be suffering from pain.

A small girl was crying next to the bed, and Gentz-san was standing next to her.

Fina. Bear missy, youre also here.

Uncle Gentz, what about the medicine?

Sorry.

Gentz-san muttered one word and looked down at the ground.

Finas mother, while suffering, reached out her hand with as much strength as she could muster and stroked her daughters head feebly.

Gentzifsomethinghappensto memy daughtersplease

What are you doing?! Saying things like that!

Isure gave youa lot oftroublethe medicineand Fina

Finas mother talked while enduring her pain.

Thank you

Dont worry about that! If you sleep, youll get better, so dont talk any more!

Shuri, Fina, come here, let me see your faces one last time.

Mom!

The two girls rushed over to their mothers bed.

Im sorry that I couldnt give you anything. And, thank you, Shuri, Fina.

Although both of them were trying their best to smile, their smiles seemed strained.

Gentz, please look after the two of them.

I get it, so dont say any more. Looking after these two will be troublesome for me, so you just rest and recover from your illness.

Gentz, thank you.

She closed her eyes as she endured the pain, apparently having reached her limit.

Poof, poof.

I clapped my hands in an attempt to get everyone to calm down, but even though my Bear Hands smacked together, no sound came out.

For starters, the three of you, please calm down.

Big sis?

I dont know if I can do anything, but Ill take a look, so let me through.

Fina tugged on her younger sisters hand and moved away from the bed.

The sister cried and held onto Fina.

Meanwhile, I stood next to the bed and examined Finas mother.

She was a young woman who had yet to reach her late twenties.

However, her body had lost weight and was wasting away.

She probably wasnt eating very much.

Please hold on a little longer.

I placed both of my hands on top of the dying mothers body.

I inserted magic power into the Bear with both hands.

I tried to use an image of eradicating the malignant virus from her entire body.

Cure.

A light covered the mothers body, and she gradually lost the pained expression on her face.

Her breathing also started to calm down.

It seems like a success.

Though, she still seemed considerably weakened.

Heal.

I chanted a different magic.

Her physical strength recovered.

Finas mother slowly opened her eyes.

Then, she got up from the bed as if nothing had happened.

Theres no pain.

Mom!

The two daughters rushed over to their mother.

Looks like I succeeded somehow.

Miss, what did you do? It was as if you were a priestess from the heavens. No, never mind that, miss, thank you.

Gentz-sans eyes slightly teared up as he grabbed onto my Bear Hands while thanking me profusely.

Big sis Yuna, thank you.

Um, thank you very much. Youre the person who cured my illness, right?

I did it because Fina was crying. Even so, you should rest a while longer. I dont know if youve completely recovered, and your physical strength might have decreased from lying down for so long.

How should I return my grat.i.tude for saving my life? As you can see, I dont have anything valuable to pay you back with.

Wait a minute, Ill do it. Miss, I cant do it immediately, but I will definitely repay you for this favor. Thats why, please dont do anything to this mother and her children!

Somehow, I feel like I became a villain.

I cured your illness, so pay me money! If you cant pay, Im taking your daughter away!

and with that sort of feeling, I would kidnap the daughter; thats the feeling I had.

If there was a lolicon protagonist,

Uhehehe, if you cant pay, dont you still have two cute daughters?

Would that line be said, I wonder.

Thats why, I have to clear up this misunderstanding.

I dont particularly need money or anything. I only wanted to protect Finas smile.

After I said that, I patted Finas head.

Oh, I said a really good line just now.

Fina was moved by my words and came over to hug me.

Somehow, I feel a little guilty

But, in that case-

Thats right, if theres anything that I can do, please say it!

Once Ive recovered, Ill do anything!

Anything!

She said it. Anything, that is.

In that case, I have a favor for the two of you, one that you cannot decline.

An unpleasant atmosphere filled the room.

They glanced at Fina and her little sister.

Fina, please go with your sister to buy some delicious food, as well as something nutritious for your mother to eat.

I took out money from the Bear Box and gave it to Fina.

But

Its okay, mother is fine now, so go on ahead.

Un, I understand. Lets go, Shuri.

Fina took her sisters hand and left the house.

After sending the two of them off, I once again looked at Gentz-san and Finas mother.

What are you going to make us do?

Its simple. Both of you, please get married.

ha?

eh?

Both of them were stunned and had their mouths wide open.

I know that Gentz-san loves Finas mother.

Y-You

Theres no point in denying it, even Fina knows about it. Besides, since Finas mother trusts Gentz-san enough to entrust her children to you, she probably doesnt dislike you.

Thats-

Also, its not good to increase the childrens hards.h.i.+ps, right? Gentz-san is a guild staff member, so your income is stable, and it would be difficult for these three females to live peacefully forever.

But

Gentz-san, do you hate Finas mother? Is it unacceptable that Finas mother married those childrens father first?

Thats

Gentz-san swallowed loudly.

Then, he looked towards Finas mother.

Tirumina, p-please marry me! I-Ive loved you from a long time ago! Its disrespectful to Roy, but I really love you!

Thank you.

I tried to quietly step out of the room and leave the house.

Lets leave it to the two of them.

Where are you going?

But, there was an old guy who betrayed those feelings of mine.

Im going home, since the current situation is a family issue.

Is that so, erm, thank you.

Be sure to look after Fina and the others carefully.

Ah, leave it to me.

If the mothers condition worsens again, call me.

Leaving Finas house behind me, I returned to the Bear House.
