Bear-san Goes to the Pyramid
“Just like Shuri said, it’s full of sand.” (Noa)
Noa and Misa, who had left the city, looked at the desert that spread out before them.
Noa crouched down and touched the sand.
“It’s hot.” (Noa)
Misa, Shuri, and Fina also touched the sand after hearing Noa’s words.
“You’ll get burned, so be careful.” (Yuna)
I had also touched the sand before, and it was very hot.
“The sand goes on forever.” (Noa)
Noa and the others looked into the distance.
“Even so, it’s hot.” (Noa)
“Yuna-oneechan, don’t you have a cloak?” (Fina)
“A cloak?” (Yuna)
“A cloak that cools you down.” (Fina)
“…” (Yuna)
The last time I came here, I was thoroughly prepared, but I didn’t feel hot, so I forgot about the need for a cloak that cools you down.
I took out cloaks that cools you down from the bear box and handed them over to Fina and the others.
“Touch the magic stone inside the cloak.” (Yuna)
Fina and the others put on the cloaks and touched the magic stone inside them.
“It’s cool now.” (Noa)
“There are magic lines sewn into the cloaks, and the water magic stone is used to cool it.” (Yuna)
Now it was okay to go outside the town.
“Also, don’t forget to drink water if you get thirsty.” (Yuna)
I handed everyone a water bottle filled with chilled water.
Noa and the others calmed down and looked at the desert.
“It’s all sand, but is that triangular building over there the one Shuri was talking about?” (Noa)
Noa’s line of sight was pointed at the pyramid.
“It’s big.” (Noa)
“What is that? Does anyone live there?” (Misa)
“No one lives there.” (Yuna)
“From what you said earlier, you went there with the adventurer we just met, right?” (Noa)
“Yes. Shall we go closer?” (Yuna)
I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
I, Fina, and Shuri went to ride on Swaying Bear, while Noa and Misa were on Hugging Bear.
There might be some small worms in the sand, so I used my detection skill to check for monsters in the vicinity.
There were some reactions, but they were far away. They also didn’t seem to be approaching.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear ran across the sand and soon reached the pyramid.
“I knew it was big, but it’s huge when you get close.” (Noa)
“Yuna-san, what is this?” (Misa)
“I don’t know the details either, but it seems to have been here even before the town was built. So no one knows who built it.” (Yuna)
“I see.” (Noa)
“I wonder who built it and for what purpose.” (Misa)
“Well, maybe we can ask Ruimin’s grandfather?” (Yuna)
“Mumroot-san?” (Noa)
“A long time ago, Mumroot-san went inside this pyramid building, and when he reached the deepest part, he found a magic circle and a magic tool that could create a lake, and then at that time, he activated them which resulted in the creation of that lake.” (Yuna)
“It’s the lake that the birds were swimming in!” (Fina)
“So that’s why there’s a lake in such a sandy place.” (Noa)
“The lake attracted people and the town was built around it. The town was built by one of Mumroot-san’s fellow adventurers, and now it seems to be protected by that person’s descendants.” (Yuna)
“So that’s how the town was built.” (Noa)
History often passed without anyone knowing.
