Bear-san Uses Contract Magic
*Yuna’s PoV*
While we were all resting in our rooms, Balm-san requested me to come to his office, saying he had something to discuss with me.
“Yuna-san, please have a seat.” (Balm)
I sat down in the chair that he invited me to.
“Yuna-san, how did you get into the town?” (Balm)
An unexpected question.
“This town is in the middle of the desert, so not many people come and go. Only adventurers who live here and aim to hunt monsters go outside, as well as merchants would be travelling here. There aren’t many normal people who come to visit this town and only stay for a day. You could even say that most of the people in this town are acquaintances.” (Balm)
It was obviously strange when thinking about it.
Many people come and go in the royal capital.
The same went for Crimonia.
But this was an isolated town.
It was surrounded by desert, so it was also difficult to get around.
Not many people come and go in such a town.
“Well…” (Yuna)
“If you can’t answer, that’s fine. However, as the lord of the town, I have to ask.” (Balm)
“Hmmm.” (Yuna)
“Do you have something like an escape route into the town?” (Balm)
“I don’t know if you can call it an escape route. Let’s just say that I am using a different method to get here.” (Yuna)
“I think Yuna-san can easily get through the town walls, but I don’t see any reason for you to do that.” (Balm)
Just come in normally.
“I can’t tell you Balm-san, because you know the King.” (Yuna)
“His Majesty the King?” (Balm)
“Yeah, if His Majesty the King finds out, it might cause trouble.” (Yuna)
“You think I’ll tell His Majesty?” (Balm)
“That’s one possibility I have in mind.” (Yuna)
“Then, if I promise not to tell His Majesty, will you tell me?” (Balm)
It was not that I didn’t trust Balm-san.
But when the King was involved, it would be a different matter. Especially when other countries could also get involved.
“Well, would you agree if I asked you to do Contract Magic?” (Yuna)
“Contract Magic?” (Balm)
“If you try to tell someone my secret…” (Yuna)
“Will I die if I try to tell someone your secret…?” (Balm)
“You won’t die. You’ll just be a little embarrassed.” (Yuna)
I explained briefly.
If he attempted to tell others my secret, he would only be able to speak the word “bear”, the same would happen if he wrote it down.
After hearing my explanation, Balm-san started laughing.
“So there’s magic like that.” (Balm)
I just happened to learn *such* magic the other day.
“If that’s the only penalty for breach of the contract, there’s no problem. In the first place, I promise not to tell anyone.” (Balm)
And so I used my magic to draw a bear magic circle on the table.
“The magic circle is also a bear.” (Balm)
“Put your hand on the face part there.” (Yuna)
As I told him, Balm-san placed his hand on the bear magic circle.
“You will not tell anyone my secret.” (Yuna)
“I promise.” (Balm)
The bear magic circle glowed, and the contract was complete.
I then told Balm-san about the Bear Transfer Gate.
