Bear-san Meets with Lord
“I will not allow you to kill him.” (???)
“My Lord…why…” (Cyrus)
The knight died before he even heard the answer.
Yes, he was dead.
It was not pleasant to watch someone dying in front of your eyes.
Unlike the corpses of monsters and animals, it evoked a different emotion.
“What happened, Swaying Bear-chan, Hugging Bear-chan, please move aside. I can’t see.” (Noa)
Noa tried her best to look at the knight, but Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear blocked her.
It seemed that they understood my intention. I was glad that Noa didn’t have to witness the moment when a person was killed.
Seeing the moment someone was killed was different from seeing a dead body.
But I didn’t even notice this guy approaching us.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear didn’t warn me about him either, and when I looked at them, they looked apologetic.
Ronne jumped out from behind Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
“Bellung!” (Ronne)
Ronne came up beside me, shouting the man’s name.
Bellung…this man was the Lord of this town, the one who tried to make Ronne his own.
He was the main culprit, the reason so many people were suffering.
Such a man was right in front of me.
“Wasn’t that Knight a Knight in your service?” (Yuna)
I turned to the slain knight.
“I don’t consider him my Knight when he tries to kill my dear friend. He is my enemy.” (Bellung)
“Don’t be ridiculous, you call Ryan your dear friend, yet you did this to him.” (Ronne)
“Ryan is just doing his best as my best friend, which is to keep showing me fairies.” (Bellung)
“That is not something a best friend would do. You didn’t even consider his feelings when you did this to him.” (Ronne)
Actually, if I considered someone a friend, I wouldn’t directly mention our relationship (as friends) or brag about it (the friendship). I was not one to express my emotions regarding such topics directly.
If it was not for me being awkward about these things, I would not have trouble making friends.
“He brought Ronne to me, we studied fairies together, and he gave me his magic power. What would you call that if not friendship?” (Bellung)
When he said so, I couldn’t retort anything in return.
Ryan brought Ronne to the Lord of his own volition, and together they studied fairies, and according to Ronne’s story, Ryan even offered him his magic power of his own volition.
“But he wouldn’t have expected you to keep him sleeping in a place like this to drain his magic power.” (Ronne)
I agree with Ronne’s statement, and I never would ever think of doing something so horrible.
Some people might give their lives for the sake of their family, friends, and loved ones. But no one would agree to give their magic power to another person until they were bedridden just to show them a fairy.
“You have never even talked to him about this, what do you know about his feelings regarding this? Perhaps it is his intention to continue to give me his magic power, you know? Well, that time would probably never come. After all, these magic circles are supposed to last for a lifetime.” (Bellung)
A lifetime… that would mean that Bellung didn’t wish for Ryan to wake up at all.
There was certainly no way for us to confirm Ryan’s will currently.
Dead men tell no tales. Ryan is still alive, but since he couldn’t speak, it was basically the same thing as being as good as dead.
For years, Ronne, Ronne’s partner, and the residents of this town suffered because of a man who was willing to do anything to achieve his selfish motives.
It just made me furious.
“So, here’s another question for you, who are you people? What are you doing in a place like this?” (Bellung)
“We are here to rescue Ronne from you.” (Yuna)
“I don’t think I will allow you to do that.” (Bellung)
The man’s face warped at my words.
However, I had no intention of following what he wished.
“I’m not asking for your permission.” (Yuna)
“But did Ronne herself say that she would go with you?” (Bellung)
I was told by Ronne that she didn’t wish to leave her partner, Ryan, behind. Besides, she could not return to the fairy forest where her friends were because this person could use their connection to locate her.
In the worst-case scenario, I could escape to Crimonia by using my Bear Transfer Gate, but Ronne would not be able to return to the Fairy Forest as well.
However…
“Well, she did say that if we cut the magic connection between you and Ryan, she would return home.” (Yuna)
