Bear-san Teaches Magic Part 4
“Fufu, so many bears.” (Noa)
Noa was delighted to see the little bears lined up in the yard.
“But their expression is weird. Even though Yuna-san’s bear is cute.” (Noa)
Noa compared the bear she made with the ones I made.
“No, I don’t think so. The bears Noa made are cute too.” (Yuna)
“But, as expected, Yuna-san’s bear is cuter. Don’t you think so too, Fina?” (Noa)
Noa showed both bears to Fina.
“Etto, it’s true that Yuna-oneechan’s bears have a slightly cuter face.” (Fina)
Fina also compared the bears and gave her honest opinion. I don’t think she would have said such a thing before, but that’s how close she has become to Noa.
“Maybe it’s because I don’t have the image down to the finest detail?” (Noa)
In my case, I don’t have that image in my mind. Maybe, but the bear’s expression depends on the caster’s emotion. If I think of a cute bear, it’ll become a cute bear, and if I imagine an angry bear, it’ll become an angry bear.
That may be thanks to the bear equipment.
“But after a while, it will crumble, which I’m having difficulty with right now.” (Noa)
Unfortunately, the bears Noa created crumbled the next day.
“It’s still weak, and maybe it doesn’t have enough magical power.” (Yuna)
“U~u, I need to practice more!” (Noa)
Noa squeezed her hand and struck a pose of trying her best.
And Fina can now freely manipulate water as long as there’s a water source nearby.
The range was about 1 meter, but beyond that, she still couldn’t do it well, whether it was because of the magic or because it was difficult to visualize. Incidentally, Fina also practiced making bears with water, as if imitating Noa.
“As expected, I also have to dress up as a bear to master the bear, after all.” (Noa)
“Cliff will get angry, so stop it.” (Yuna)
If she did that, Cliff would be pissed. Eleanora-san might laugh, but I’m the only one who can endure the shame.
While we were having a leisurely conversation, Cliff came into the garden.
“How’s it going?” (Cliff)
“Father, look. I made a lot of bears.” (Noa)
Noa opened her arms to show Cliff the bear statues she made today. The ground was lined with palm-sized, bear-shaped clay figurines.
“As expected, it was all about bears……” (Cliff)
Cliff made an exasperated expression.
I understand that feeling, but we can’t help it because the person herself was motivated. Images were important for magic. You could say she learned magic because she likes bears.
Cliff crouched down and picked up one of the bears.
“But still, you’re doing well.” (Cliff)
“I practiced hard.” (Noa)
“Even so, it isn’t strong enough, is it?” (Cliff)
The bear crumbled as Cliff put pressure on his hand. Noa saw it and screamed.
“Father, what have you done!?” (Noa)
“No, I was just trying to confirm its hardness.” (Cliff)
“But it’s still a terrible thing to crush them!” (Noa)
Noa puffed out her cheeks.
She can’t help it because, between being broken naturally and being broken intentionally. The former can’t be helped, but the latter left a feeling that it wouldn’t break.
“Then, you have to make it so that it won’t break.” (Cliff)
“Someday, I will make a bear that will never break.” (Noa)
Noa clenched her fists and declared so.
One day this garden will be full of bears, but I want to say it wasn’t my fault.
“But still, you’ve learned magic faster than I thought you would.” (Cliff)
“Yuna-san’s teaching method was excellent.” (Noa)
Cliff already knew about the bear’s light magic.
He was astonished even then. But he was more amazed that the girls could create different colors of lights in the shape of a bear.
“I heard that talented people are not good at teaching others, but that doesn’t seem to be always the case.” (Cliff)
“Talented?” (Yuna)
