Bear-san, Is Asked To Teach Magic
Misa was happy because Fina and Noa were pleased with their gifts.
After that, there were also other gifts presented to Fina and Noa. Incidentally, Cliff’s gift to Fina was a family invitation to a fine restaurant in Crimonia. He gave it to her, saying that it was an apology for this time and that he wanted her to enjoy some time with her family. Fina could not refuse and accepted it with a wry smile.
I know that behind Fina, Tirumina-san and Gentz-san also had indescribable facial expressions.
Well, it’s a restaurant invitation. I hope you enjoy it with the whole family.
Then, Gran-san tried to give her a necklace with jewelry, and everyone looked at her like she was dumbfounded. Since she couldn’t accept jewelry with stones, she had to decline. Cliff also interjected so she could say no, much to the relief of Fina, Tirumina-san, and Gentz-san.
“Old man Gran, at her age, I’d say you’d better think of something they’ll be more likely to receive.” (Cliff)
Hearing Cliff’s words, Gran-san looked dejected.
He also prepared one for Noa, but since Fina didn’t accept hers, Noa didn’t accept it either. So I felt a little sorry for Gran-san.
Well, this time, I can’t rescue Gran-san from his dilemma, so it can’t be helped.
Cliff advised, “You’d better learn to feel a little more like a commoner.”
I wonder about the invitation to a fancy restaurant. But still, my mind decided that it was better than jewelry.
I talked to Noa, who seemed to be enjoying herself.
“Too bad Eleanora-san and Shia couldn’t make it.” (Yuna)
I thought maybe they would come, but neither of them could. Eleanora-san has work to do, and Shia has to go to school, so they can’t easily come to Crimonia.
In a situation like this, I could have brought them here if I had told them about the bear gate. However, I was hesitant to tell Shia and Noa because if Eleanora-san knew about it, it would cause me a lot of trouble.
But then, should I tell Noa and take her to the capital instead? While I pondered that, Noa shook her head as if to disagree.
“I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss them, but Mother already gave me a birthday present. Besides, I was able to see her the other day when I went to the capital, so I’m fine. Plus, Mother has an important job.” (Noa)
She looked a little lonely, but her expression said she understood.
Perhaps they were absent last year or the year before, either.
Noa looked at the necklace around her neck.
As I recall, Eleanora-san gave it to her so she could learn magic, right?
Noa looked at the necklace and pondered for a moment. She then made up her mind about something and went over to Cliff.
“Father, I have a request.” (Noa)
“What is it?” (Cliff)
“I’m going to study magic, right? But is it okay if Yuna-san teaches me?” (Noa)
“Yuna?” “Me?”
Cliff’s gaze met mine.
“Father, you gave me permission to practice magic, right? But if possible, I would like to learn magic from Yuna-san.” (Noa)
“If Yuna teaches you magic, won’t your magic turn into a bear?” (Cliff)
“……”
Usually, I would laugh it off.
But I can’t because bear magic exists, and I’m actually using it.
“Well, with earth magic, it may be possible.” (Cliff)
Cliff arrived at his own conclusion.
That reminds me, he already knows about my bear earth magic.
But bear magic also has both fire and water. If you include bear claws, that’s wind magic, and there’s even electric bear.
Cliff looked at me, thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“If Yuna doesn’t mind, I’m fine with it.” (Cliff)
“Really! Yuna-san, please.” (Noa)
Noa grabbed my hand and pleaded.
“I don’t mind teaching you. But I’m self-taught, so I might not be able to teach you well.” (Yuna)
Once, I taught a rookie adventurer girl how to use magic, didn’t I? I’ve taught her how to increase her magic power and how to defeat monsters. But Noa has never used magic at all. Teaching someone who has never used magic would be a different story.
“For now, I’m studying the basic knowledge of magic. So I think it’s okay.” (Noa)
“Well, if it doesn’t work, we can just prepare a magic teacher.” (Cliff)
“That’s fine with me.” (Noa)
Noa looks happy when I agree. In the midst of all this, Fina looks like she wants to say something.
“Fina?” (Yuna)
“Ano, I also want to learn magic from Yuna-oneesan.” (Fina)
When Fina opened her mouth, she looked at me and then at Tirumina-san.
