Bear-san, Starts Exploring
The following day, I asked Fina to check on Mia and Carol, who had yet to wake up, while I prepared breakfast. I only took out the bread from the bear box, though.
However, since Kagali-san insists on rice, I served her rice with pickled plums, miso soup with tofu and wakame seaweed from the Land of Harmony, and takuan (pickled radish).
Fina came downstairs with Mia and Carol when we prepared everyone’s breakfast.
“Uu, I’m sleepy.” (Mia)
“Did you stay up late?” (Yuna)
“I didn’t. I took a bath and immediately went to bed.” (Carol)
“My tired body, taking a bath for the first time in a while, and the soft futon kept me sound asleep until morning.” (Mia)
“Well then, good for you.” (Yuna)
I thanked Fina for waking up Mia and Carol and started eating breakfast.
“The breakfast is also good.” (Mia)
“Thank you for preparing breakfast, Yuna-san.” (Carol)
“You can eat as much as you want.” (Yuna)
“Ugh, I’ve never experienced such a comfortable adventure.” (Mia)
Mia puts the bread in her mouth as she says that.
After breakfast, we prepared for departure and began our exploration.
We left the horses that Mia and Carol rode in the same place as they were yesterday.
We continued where we left off yesterday, heading for the large building.
According to Mia and Carol, it’s possible to avoid the knight armors by detouring the path, but because we have to secure an escape route, we decided not to detour but to charge through while defeating the knight armors.
Fina and Kagali-san are riding on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, respectively, while I walk so that I can respond immediately in case something happens.
“But what is the treasure?” (Fina)
“It is said that the magic technicians honed their skills to create the greatest magic tools ever made. Surely there must be some magical artifacts left that no one has ever seen.” (Mia)
Mia answers Fina’s monologue on Swaying Bear.
“Treasure, I hope we find it” (Fina)
“I will definitely find it.” (Mia)
Mia looks at Fina and then at me.
“Um…if I find treasure, will you really buy it from me?” (Mia)
Mia hesitated to ask.
“Well, if the thing you find is what I want.” (Yuna)
“I doubt there’s anything you could possibly want with such an awesome item bag that could fit a house.” (Mia)
“Even if Yuna-san won’t buy it, we’ll take it to the Adventurer’s Guild or the Commercial Guild, and they’ll pay a good price for it.” (Carol)
“Maybe so, but still.” (Mia)
I would love to buy it from them, but buying something I don’t want will become trash.
“But first, we have to find the treasure.” (Yuna)
Find the treasure first before we discuss the purchase.
“Oh, there’s a knight.” (Fina)
Fina points forward.
A knight armor stood guard in the aisle.
I told everyone to wait and approached the knight armor by myself. I came right in front of it, but it didn’t move. Well, just in case, I decided to destroy it with electric magic.
And regardless of whether the knight armor was moving or not, I touched the knight armor with my bear puppet, which was covered with electric magic. The knight armor collapsed.
“You really took it down so easily.” (Mia)
“Was that magic?” (Carol)
“……”
“It’s a kind of lightning magic.” (Kagali)
When I was thinking about how to respond, Kagali-san answered.
“Lightning?” (Mia)
“Um, like when it rains heavily, the sky shines?” (Carol)
“That’s right. Well, I won’t give you a detailed explanation because it’s too bothersome, but you can spread it to every corner of your body.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san also used lightning magic. I don’t know how much she knows about lightning, but she explained it to them for me.
“As I recall, when lightning strikes a tree or something, it can set it on fire, right?” (Carol)
