Today is December 24th. It's a sad day every year, but I'm a little different this year, with four daughters-in-law. If you say this in Japan, oh, you're a two-dimensional daughter-in-law. There's plenty of me, too, right? What a return. Well, it's a downside that I'm on alert in the woods with my daughter-in-law.

The most dangerous thing to do when activating the Transfer Magic Formation is to not know the destination situation. I tried forwarding it, and there was a dragon in front of me, which could be something, a moment of tension.

"There's nothing around"

This is just off the point where the harpy nest was the other day. Activate the signal detection immediately after transfer to confirm that nothing is present.

"It doesn't even cost me anything to detect"

Grate the sword that was erected in Sati's words and relieve the tension. Tirica releases the hourglass and is on perimeter alert.

"Masaru, divide the magic."

Transfer consumes a lot of magic. Unlike me, who can fight with a sword, Ellie has decided to turn it around as a matter of priority because the magic runs out.

When I charged her with magic in a miracle light, Ellie thanked her with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Massal. Shall we first set the course?"

We all levitate and get out on the woods. I'm the only one who can't use Satie, but I can use everyone else. Ann was just freshly remembered and anxious to grasp Ellie. It's a little puffy.

"We're headed to Fort Gorbus as we decided at home, but let's head for that mountain range first. When the mountains are close, we'll change direction and head for the fort."

That said, Ellie points in the direction where the mountains converge. It would be almost north from the direction of the sun. On that side, as far as the mountain can see, it's already covered in snow near the summit. It's not that snowy around here, but when it snows, it still falls pretty close to the mountains and restricts movement in the woods. The plan is to earn as much experience as possible by then.

It is said that beyond the northern mountains is a demonic realm, from which the demons come. At the foot there is a vast forest.

We were able to check the surrounding terrain more or less, so we went down to the ground. When I say terrain, I can only see the forest.

"What about Harpy?

"You can do it if you can find it. They don't necessarily have a nest in the vicinity because they have a wide range of actions."

"I'm not around here," Tirica reports.

"All right, shall we leave then? Come on, Satie."

"Yes, I'll take care of it!

And the ranks are Satti, and Tirica, and Ellie, and Anne, and Me. Satti is in the lead because hearing detection saves you time by seeing the rear without turning around. Ask Satti and she'll know exactly where she is and how she moves just by the sound.

Unlike last time, it goes at an early pace there. This time, it's a special policy to see enemies killed because it's not helpless to destroy them without leaving one.

About half an hour later, Satti stopped. I'm staring at the right hand side.

"It's a long way. There is something," he said, pointing in one direction of the forest.

"The number is one, but I think it's big there"

"One. It's not a dragon size, is it?

"I don't think it's that big"

"I sent you to Hoku."

Soon the reconnaissance results were brought about. A bear.

"Okay. Shall we?"

Being just a bear, he was only surviving a harsh different world, bigger and more ferocious than a bear on Earth. The bear I saw here once seemed nearly twice as likely as anything I'd seen in a Japanese zoo.

By the way, bear classification becomes a demon. Animals and demons, they decide if they attack people if they ask how to separate them. So are the rabbits in the field demons? And when I hear, oh, yeah. I think so. And it was an ambiguous reply. I don't blame you. I think the rabbit is definitely a demon.

For a few minutes, when we made the move, Satti confirmed the bear. Generate a 3m grade golem on the spot.

"Satti, shoot the bow at a rough distance. You don't have to hit me. You have to pull me over."

"Yes."

The ones like that don't get away with most of the attacks. I guess I'm thinking as much as more bait even if we gather a few per human being.

Let the golem lurk among the trees and ambush them around. I want to come back, but I want to take turns, but I want to lie down beside Tirica.

Satti jumped all the way in. Satti can run at a hell of a speed. They showed you a real run once, but you're the same person? So much so that I thought. I guess he has a high athletic performance as an animal man in addition to his skill agility boost.

"Coming!

Quite a distance away, but the big bear is running this way with great momentum. He's headed this way, poking straight through the woods with Gassaga Sabaki. I'm a little scared. But I'm fine, let myself know I should take it in the golem in case they come this way. Allow the golem to move at any time and wait.

"Thunder!"

Ellie's Thunder burst out somewhat of a pull and stumbled down into the ground with the momentum the big bear had been running. He says it's lighter, so only paralysis shouldn't do much damage.

That's where Anne and Tirica's ice bullets pierce, and even after about two shots, the big bear is still hanging.

"He's still alive. Another shot."

Yet another ice bullet pierced him and the big bear ran out of breath. He looks pretty tough with more than 3m of body, but if he eats as many as four ice bullets in his head where he can't move, he won't get one.

"A coordinated attack from Thunder is an iron wall."

"That's right. I can't believe this failed me, like that time in the dragon."

I'll store the dead big bear and check everyone's menu.

"Tirica and Ann are one level higher."

"I'll give you a summons"

"Do you do it here?

"Please"

Open the menu and give it a summons.

Tirica 2p level 6

Cuisine LV1

Magic Eye (True or False) Water Magic Lv3 Summoning Magic Lv3 Lv4

"I put it up."

……

Tirica relaxes and shuts up.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Want to subpoena something now?

"I'll stop because it's dangerous"

"What's dangerous?

"The next level will require a ritual of contract. Specifically, if you don't fight and defeat, you won't be recognized as your husband."

"Is that one-on-one?

"We can all take them down. Because the summoner himself is not so strong."

Certainly. I'd like to be told by the summoner to fight alone, but on the contrary, ho even seems to struggle.

"I wonder if I can handle that."

"It's okay! If you magically concentrate on where you came from, it's a dragon."

"Um, I guess so. So if you find it in the square somewhere, you want to try it?

"Isn't it better near the city? If anything happens, I'm scared."

Yes, Angela suggests.

"If we do it near the woods, we won't even see it. You can get Hawk to scout the area all the way."

"Right. Let's interrupt the hunt and go back. I'd like to see a new subpoena soon."

"I want to learn and practice new magic too."

"Is Ann okay with water magic? This will take you to level four."

"Yeah, that's fine"

Angela has 7P. You'll make water magic three or four and you'll be able to use just the point.

Angela 0P Level 5

Housekeeping Lv2 Cooking Lv3 Stick Lv1

Magic Enhancement Lv2 MP Resilience Enhancement Lv2

Magic Sensing Lv1 Recovery Magic Lv4 Water Magic Lv2 Lv4

[Water Magic LV4] ① Water Polo ② Water Whip Ice Bullet ③ Water Wall Ice and Snow ④ Ice Dragon Water Dragon

I gave you water magic level four.

"Yeah, yeah. Thanks."

"Shall we go back then? I set up a transfer point here, and I'm gonna open the gate, okay? Outside the city."

So far, a transfer point has been set in the basement of the house and two places in the meadow a little further from the city and in the hunting grounds.

"Wait a minute. I knew it wasn't a good day. If you want to do it, I want to do the full magic. Ann should practice magic."

If I use the transfer, I will naturally replenish it. I want to do all the magic.

"So is that. Shall we go back and take our time today?"

"I like that. Bears get a pretty good price too, don't they?

It's a shame there's one prey, but that's all the graphics. I'm sure you'll be able to take a lot of meat.

"I hear the liver will be the raw material for the medicine. I can take a lot of meat and it doesn't taste bad."

"Well, I'll have some when I sell it."

"Bear Meat, Fun"

"A soup dish called a bear pan is a classic at our place. Shall we do that today?"

I miss the pot when it's cold like this. I'm afraid I don't have Japanese-style stock, but would you like to use some of the ramen soup stock? I'm sure it'll taste good.

"It's been a long time since Master Masaru cooked," Satti says happily. I've been doing some chores and stuff lately.

"All right, all right. I'll take care of it today."

"I'm looking forward to it. Masaru's cuisine is irrelevant."

Yeah, except for curry. That's all I've secretly decided I'll have to try again someday.

"Then Gate, please"

We all get together and kneel in one place. The transfer point outside the city is set at a point where the grass on the meadow is high, and if you are crouching, you should not be able to see it even if it appears in the transfer.

The transfer is activated and the scene switches to the meadow. There is nothing like recoil when transferring. So much so that I don't even know when I forwarded it outside of Magic Sensing if it was even close to my eyes.

"There doesn't seem to be anything around"

"We're not responding to detection either. You can get up."

This place will be quite far from the city and the streets. It became around here that it would be better than a hassle to travel.

"Do you want to go over to the woods some more then to practice Ann's magic? If it's massive magic, it's going to get pretty much all the way to the city."

When I say practice, the magic I learned with my skills never fails. It's like a test shot to see the power and range.

I decided to do it in a place where I would have walked a little and left the city enough.

I have seen two species of Level 3 since they are Tirica. Water walls are defensive magic that makes walls out of water as they are. At first I wondered what a wall was like with water, but the water was swirling in the wall, and if it was about an arrow, I would spare it to prevent it.

Is the ice and snow more like the ice version of Windstorm used by Ellie? A storm occurs that contains ice, chopping up enemies.

Ice and water dragons also literally shape dragons with ice and water. The dragons they make move freely and attack their enemies. It can be adjusted in size and lasts quite a bit. Compared to the fire and wind magic that are emitted instantly in a single shot, the power is likely to diminish, but the application is likely. I made and targeted a 10m grade golem to see the actual power, and it destroyed the water dragon's attack about as lightly. I can't really tell if the golem is weak or the water dragon is strong, but I could confirm the power for now.

"You saw something nice. Water magic isn't so bad either."

"I'm so scared. A little hunting in the woods just to learn this kind of magic, that's a bit unusual. I knew I had to hide what was going on with Masaru."

"Afraid of my powers?

I get a little worried and ask.

"I'm not afraid of the power of Masaru. God bless you. I guess the scary part is that I can use magic like this."

"It's okay. I'll get used to it soon. It feels good to let go of the great magic."

"Right. I'm not denying I had a little fun."

"Don't do Anne, like Ellie, falling over and over with magic to the limit, okay?

"Excuse me! Not twice like that in front of Massal!

Did you do anything else in front of me... Nania's struggle is obliterated?

"I'll leave that to Ellie."

"I won't do it anymore, either. I guess."

I can't be sure. I guess I'm aware of myself around.

"Yes, sir. Shall we go back to the city then? I'm going hunting wild rabbits, so will you come back first?

"Okay. I'll stop by the temple for a little while before I go home. Massal makes lunch?

"Let the bear pot be at night. Noon, please."

"I will follow Master Masaru."

"Me too," Satti and Tirica were to follow.

"Then Ellie should come back with me and make lunch"

"but good luck with that."

According to Ann, it still takes time for Ellie to acquire her cooking skills.

Break up with the two of you and put the meadow in front of you. Even when I came here, I sometimes sensed signs of wild rabbits and twitched.

"Then do you want to break up left and right like you always do? Tirica will follow you a little further."

"Yes."

"Okay."

Satti and I then hunted about ten of them and returned to the city satisfied.

Back home, Anne and Ellie seemed to have just returned too.

"I'm busy at the treatment center. I've been helping."

"I helped a little, too."

"Was the errand okay?

"I was just going to say hello. Shall we start cooking then? I'm coming, Ellie."

"I feel like my cooking skills are going to be level one soon. Check it out when you're done, Massal."

Right. I think that's my fault, but let's not say it. And under Ann's supervision, I'll just say in Ellie's honor that there's normally edible food out there. Cooking level one hasn't been up yet so far, but that day looks closer than I thought. Ellie is a child who can if she does.

This afternoon became Dr. Ellie's spatial magic course. The item box would be useful to use, so I decided to learn without using the points. Students are Ann, Tirica and Satti. I was reluctant. I've never had a hard time mastering magic. I'm sure this time it'll be terrible. That's what I felt.

"I'll sell the bear to the guild. Good luck, guys."

"Leave it to me. I'll teach you how to bury it!

I thought it was the right moment to decline.

When I sold off the bear and did a little shopping and went back, Ann was relaxing and Satie was asleep. Tirica was looking at Sati sleeping on the couch in a cherooked manner. I guess it's out of magic.

And I saw it, and shut up and replenished it with magic. I don't dare ask what happened.

The bear pot was quite popular that night. Speaking of which, it was Christmas Eve. I kind of thought I'd make some cake, but surrounding the pot with four beautiful girls, such a Christmas was a wonderful thing too.
