“Wait! You’re going to force it all on me too!? You won’t get away with this.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san grabbed me and Mumroot-san’s clothes. It seems that she won’t let us go home. But that doesn’t mean we can’t shake off her little hand. She used to be bigger than me, but it’ll be hard to deal with us now that she’s smaller.
As I was wondering what to do, a “ku~n, ku~n, ku~n, ku~n, ku~n, ku~n, ku~n, ku~n, ku~n” starts to sound from the white bear puppet.
It’s the bearphone.
I took the bearphone out of the bear box.
“Hello?”
‘It’s Fina.’
“Fina? What happened?”
I’m in the middle of something. If it’s nothing important, I’ll call her back later. But what Fina said was unexpected.
‘Well, the woman named Shinobu woke up.’
“……Ah”
I completely forgot.
When I heard the name “Shinobu” from the Bearphone, it reminded everyone here of Shinobu. I was not the only one who had forgotten about her.
Because since then, the snake has revived, and things have been very hectic. After defeating the giant snake, we talked about the future, forgetting about Shinobu.
“So, is Shinobu okay?”
I asked Fina, trying not to let her know I had forgotten about Shinobu.
‘Yes, she seems to be alright. She wants to go back there, Yuna-oneesan.’
Of course, if she woke up and found herself lying in a strange place, she’d be worried about us. And since Shinobu was unconscious the whole time, she had no idea what was going on.
Do you generally want to go back to where the giant snake might be? Was she thinking of the country or Sakura? I think it’s the latter.
“Ah~, yeah. Got it. I’ll open the door in a bit, so inform Shinobu to wait a bit longer.”
‘Understood.’
After talking with Fina, I put away my bearphone.
“Well then, I’m going to pick up Shinobu now, so can we move to the door?” (Yuna)
I could pull out a new bear gate, but I don’t want to pull out too many, so we move to the one earlier. I’m also retrieving that bear gate anyway. On top of Swaying Bear was Kagali-san, who has become a young girl, and Sakura. Then on Hugging Bear were Ruimin and me. And Mumroot-san was walking.
“I completely forgot about Shinobu.” (Kagali)
Not a single person refuted Kagali-san’s words.
“Shinobu, is she angry?” (Kagali)
“I don’t think she’s angry. I just moved her to a safe place because she fainted.” (Yuna)
Even when I heard from Fina, I could not sense that Shinobu was angry.
She didn’t know what the situation was. She may feel like it can’t be helped.
=====
We came to the place where the bear gate was located. The bear gate was left open to allow escaping into the elven forest. Mumroot-san took Ruimin and tried to pass through the door silently. Kagali-san jumped down from Swaying Bear and blocked them in front of the bear gate.
“Hold it right there. So why are you trying to leave? Bear Missy, close the door so that Mumroot doesn’t escape.” (Kagali)
“Even though it’s connected, it won’t close by itself.” (Mumroot)
“Well then, you guys stay there in the middle. I’ll be going in first. I have to connect to Shinobu.” (Yuna)
“You’re the one who needs to stay here, Missy.” (Mumroot)
Apparently, they won’t let me go that easily.
“Let’s bring Shinobu over here, for now. I’m sure that Shinobu will be waiting for us at the door.” (Yuna)
“That’s right.” (Mumroot)
I closed the door that was connected to the elven forest. Then I opened the door to the bear gate at my house in Crimonia, and there was Shinobu, as if she had been waiting for me, and standing next to her was Fina.
“Sakura-sama, are you okay?” (Shinobu)
When the door opens, Shinobu walks through the door and comes to Sakura.
“Yes, I’m fine. What about you, Shinobu?” (Sakura)
“I’m okay, too. I should have been injured, but I have healed apparently.” (Shinobu)
Shinobu looked at her torn clothes with bloodstains.
I fixed her up, didn’t I?
“More importantly, what happened? Where are the wyverns? And what about Orochi?” (Shinobu)
“Shinobu, calm down and listen to me. It’s all over.” (Sakura)
Shinobu looked at Sakura with her mouth open like a foolish child at Sakura’s words.
“Sakura-sama, what do you mean?” (Shinobu)
