Bear-san Playing in the River
Kagali-san asked me about Bear Contract Magic, but I didn’t know much about it, so it was hard for me to fake it as a natural magic.
“It’s a wonder that such a magic circle can be activated.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san tried to imitate the bear magic circle, but it did not activate.
It seemed that the bear magic circle would not activate without my magic power.
Like it was a magic circle specially tailored only for me.
“There must be a mechanism built in somewhere that prevents it from being activated unless it is your magic.” (Kagali)
“How is that possible?” (Yuna)
“It must be a magic circle created only for you.” (Kagali)
“Well, I don’t know about that, but…” (Yuna)
“If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask. Magic has a way of identifying individuals after all.” (Kagali)
“It would be similar to the way it identifies you when you enter the area where the sacred tree is located.” (Mumroot)
Mumroot-san added to Kagali-san’s explanation.
It certainly made sense now that Mumroot-san mentioned it.
Only some people, such as Mumroot-san and Sanya-san, were allowed to enter the area where the sacred tree was located.
“As an application of that restriction, the island where only certain people could enter, used magic power to judge if the person who was about to enter was male or female.” (Kagali)
After being told by both of them, I understood that bear magic circles could not be used by others.
It appeared that God created bear magic circles exclusively for me so that they wouldn’t be abused.
The bear equipment, the Bear Transfer Gate, and the Bear Phone were also all exclusive to me.
Considering this, it was not strange that bear magic circles were also exclusive to me.
It may be a measure to prevent abuse of the bear magic circles even if they were known by others.
Then, leaving Kagali-san behind, who wanted to continue checking magic circles at Mumroot-san’s house, I left Mumroot-san’s house alone to check on Fina and the others.
Now then, where were Fina and the others?
Oh, right, all of them knew about the Bear Phone.
The only problem was that if there was someone around them who didn’t know about the Bear Phone, they wouldn’t be able to use it.
If that was the case, I might not receive a reply fast. For now, I also moved to a place where no one would see me take out the Bear Phone.
After finding a good spot, I channeled magic power so that it connected to the Bear Phone that Fina had.
Then, Fina’s voice was heard from the Bear Phone immediately.
[Yuna Onee-chan?] (Fina)
“Fina, where are you?” (Yuna)
She seemed to be in a place where she could answer using the Bear Phone.
[I’m near the river.] (Fina)
A river… then I knew where they were.
“I’m on my way, don’t move away.” (Yuna)
I hung up the call and headed for Fina and the others.
I have been to that river before. A little further on, there was also a waterfall, and that was where I put the Bear House when I first came to the elf village.
I had a fond memory of being attacked by a Volgwrath at that time.
When I reached the river, I used my detection skill.
There was a reaction of people, as well as Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
It looked like it’s just up ahead.
I moved to their location on a short run.
…found them.
“Yuna-san~!” (Noa)
Noa was waving her hand in the air.
Shuri also started waving her hand as if imitating Noa. Misa and Sakura were smiling at them, and Fina looked happy.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were also making “kuun” noises.
Shinobu seemed to be doing her job as an escort.
“Were you playing in the river?” (Yuna)
“Yes.” (Noa)
Everyone gathered around me.
