“Really!? Then Kagali-sama is alive!?” (Sakura)
Sakura wiped away her tears and looked relieved.
“Because Yuna-sama, you said you can’t say it.” (Sakura)
“You thought she was dead?” (Yuna)
“……Yes” (Sakura)
“She’s fine. She wasn’t seriously hurt.” (Yuna)
She just morphed into a little girl, though.
“I’m glad. Then why can’t you tell me that?” (Sakura)
“Sorry, you just have to see it for yourself.” (Yuna)
“……Okay, I understand.” (Sakura)
Sakura looked like she wanted to ask about it, but she obediently nodded instead.
We arrived at the place where Mumroot-san was guarding the seal. When the building came into view, we saw a little girl standing there.
“Yuna-san, there’s a little girl over there.” (Ruimin)
“A little girl? Here? How did she get to the island?” (Sakura)
Ruimin and Sakura were tilting their heads at the little girl, Kagali-san.
We got off of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear and went to the little girl, Kagali-san’s side.
“Bear Missy. You’ve done well.” (Kagali)
The little girl, Kagali-san, ran up to me. It feels weird when a little girl calls me Missy. Her clothes were still loose and baggy. Well, I guess they don’t have clothes for little girls lying around, so I can’t blame her.
“It looks like Sakura and Ruimin are safe too. I’m glad.” (Kagali)
The little girl, Kagali-san, examined the bodies of the two.
Both of them were visibly confused about the actions of such a little girl.
After all, Sakura had never seen Kagali-san in this state before.
“Etto, Are you perhaps, Kagali-sama?” (Sakura)
Kagali-san looks at herself again.
“There is a reason why I look like this.” (Kagali)
“I’m just glad you’re okay.” (Sakura)
Sakura hugs Kagali-san.
“I’m glad you’re okay, too.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san put her hands behind Sakura’s back and also hugged her. If Kagali-san were in her adult form, the scene would be lighthearted, like a parent and child, but it felt like a slightly different atmosphere because of her child form. But I guess it doesn’t matter to both of them.
“Well then, let’s go and check on Mumroot.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san looked like she was having trouble walking, so I put her on Swaying Bear. We entered the building and headed to Mumroot-san in the basement. Mumroot-san had his hand on the magic circle and poured his magic power, just like everyone else.
“Grandpa!” (Ruimin)
Ruimin called out and ran up to him. That’s when he noticed us.
“Did you defeat them all, Missy? Orochi’s reaction has weakened.” (Mumroot)
“Thanks to the hard work of Ruimin and Sakura, we were able to beat them.” (Yuna)
“It was the same with the Sacred Tree, but you are amazing, Missy. The wards that would be used to seal it would be meaningless now, though.” (Mumroot)
Apparently, he had also prepared a stronger ward to seal it away permanently.
“Ano, Yuna-sama defeated the heads of the giant serpent. This is the end, isn’t it?” (Sakura)
Sakura asked Mumroot-san, who still hadn’t taken his hand off the magic circle.
“It’s not exactly over yet.” (Mumroot)
Sakura was surprised by his words.
“There are two options. One is to seal Orochi as it is.” (Mumroot)
“But Yuna-sama has defeated all of Orochi’s heads.” (Sakura)
“Ah, Missy only has defeated the heads of the serpent. But the main body is still alive. If we break the seal, there is a chance it will move.” (Mumroot)
I thought I had beaten it because I destroyed its heads, but it seems it wasn’t as easy. But still, I hoped it would die because we destroyed all of Orochi’s heads.
“And? What’s the other option?” (Yuna)
“Obviously, break the seal and destroy the main body.” (Mumroot)
I know, right? The most obvious choice is destroying the main body to end the problem.
“Sure, why not.” (Yuna)
“Yuna-sama !?” (Sakura)
