Bear-san receives a Letter from a Summoned Bird
A few days have passed since the Huge Slime incident.
I have been holed up for the first time in a long time, and I had to stay indoors. However, I could not stay at home alone like in my former world.
Since I came to this world, more and more people have come to my house.
“Yuna Onee-chan, please watch over my magic training again, even if it’s just once in a while.”
Fina started to say such a thing, probably because of the Slime.
Fina asked earnestly, so I said, “Sure.”
It was nice to have more means to protect myself than anything else.
Then Noa came to visit me between studies.
“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear. Over here.”
Noa played with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, who had turned into cub-sized bears.
“I knew it, Bear-san is the best.”
Noa looked satisfied as she hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear as they approached her.
“Now I can study hard again.”
“Well then, I’m glad.”
Peace.
Then I heard from Tirumina-san that the store was doing well, and the director of the orphanage told me there were no problems with daily life, and I was left with nothing to do but relax.
I enjoyed my adventures, but spending time relaxing like this was also nice.
While I was lounging on the bed with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, Swaying Bear, and Hugging Bear squealed and looked out the window.
“What’s wrong?”
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear look out the window and see a large bird.
For a moment, they were surprised but soon realized it was Sanya-san’s summoning bird.
The bird was as large as an eagle, and when I opened the window, it entered the room and perched on the back of a chair.
Sanya-san, were you watching me?
Sanya-san could see things far away through the summoned bird’s eyes.
It was useful but also an ability that could be used for criminal activities.
If you put it that way, magic could be used for various crimes.
A kitchen knife could be used to make delicious food, but it could also be used as a weapon to stab a person.
As with anything, the power depends on the mind of the person who uses it.
I waved my hand in front of the bird, but it didn’t respond, as it was not supposed to be able to control the bird.
At any rate, as before, I looked at the bird’s neck and saw that a tube was strapped to it.
“It’s a message, right?”
I opened the lid of the tube attached to the summoned bird’s neck, and a curled-up piece of paper came out from inside.
“What is it? It’s not a problem, is it?”
I had a bad feeling about this, but I couldn’t help but look at it.
I unfold the rolled-up paper.
I knew it was from Sanya-san.
I thought it would be a hassle, but I was wrong.
It was more like a letter to Fina.
It said that once a year, the Adventurers’ Guild of the Royal Capital sponsored an event to compete in dismantling techniques.
The letter was a request for Fina to participate in the event.
I didn’t know there was such an event.
Maybe I should tell Fina about it.
“Kuh.”
The summoned bird chirps.
“Here, you can return now.”
“Kuh.”
The bird didn’t fly out the window.
“Are you waiting for a reply to your letter, by any chance?”
I couldn’t reply right away, so I just wrote what I would tell Fina on a piece of paper and put it inside the bird’s tube.
