Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Fugu?!

"Yi, ibu?!

The hunter was in a hurry. Because the moment Eve fell into the snow, Elder Bear's gaze, which should have been directed at him before, turned towards Eve.

Moreover, hunters today are in such deep snow that it was difficult to move with snow mountain gear and their feet did not rise. If Eve was on the move, it was still too difficult for hunters, such as continuing to protect her from bears in a situation that had stopped completely.

Still, if we don't do it now, Eve will be eaten...... So intuitive the hunter tries to slash the bear on his face and draw his attention toward himself --

Bum!

Zusa!

"You avoided it?! [incomprehensible]

—— It seems the bear's movements in the snow were beyond her expectations...... The hunter's blade was supposed to slash the sky.

Meanwhile, the bear who avoided her blade, when it came to ——

Dotha! Dotha!

—— and, as if it were a dump car, ran in the snow and rushed over to Eve. If I were to analogize that schematic, I'd go for the bait in front of me, the beast rushing at a glance, something like that.

And the bear, when he stopped in front of Eve, who was buried in Yuki and lying down, kept his nose close to her--,

"Grr!"

—— and it looked like it would bite...

"Kun......"

Elder Bear is the first to take one, two and lag behind on what he thought...... After all, Eve did not bite.

That didn't make Elder Bear lost his mind, or sympathized with a far smaller Eve than he did himself. Actually, Eve's body was stained with a certain odor. That type is not one but several. Her own smell, the smell of a flying dragon, the smell of Van, who is Fenrill, the smell of Pixie the Yamanik chick, etc... For wild bears sensitive to the smell of the mighty, the smell Eve was making them drift is fear itself...... I accidentally lagged behind, so.... Note that I say no, but Eve doesn't take it away and smell like a beast.

……

"Kun......"

Eve turns around and tilts her neck, realizing how the bears that were approaching the scarecrow were somehow lowering their noses. A common girl wouldn't have been surprised to find herself in a state of panic and confusion if she had been in front of a bear trying to eat herself...... For some reason Eve has settled down as usual --,

"... could something have happened?

—— Eve threw such a question at Elder Bear, who lags behind from himself.

As she spoke, she stared at Elder Bear. As a result, she realizes that something has changed to Elder Bear's head.

"(The tree... is frozen?

It was like a spreading strewn all over Elder Bear's body. The root and the part to say is on Elder Bear's head...... The young crawl that was growing from that part was, like, frozen, not to mention this.

Eve couldn't help but worry about Elder Bear's head. Of course, she was also concerned about how the root part of the crawl was strewn in her head, but she was not convinced that there was no frozen part of Elder Bear's body anywhere, but only that head was frozen.

Results --,

"Huh!... I might get it for you now, so how long may I hope you don't move?

—— Eve stood up patiently with her painful feet, taking off her gloves...... And he offered his hands to Elder Bear's head.

Because the opposing Elder Bear didn't feel that little Eve's act was a threat... There was nothing particularly intimidating about it, and she seemed to offer her head, although it was left to her.

However, for the hunter who was watching how it went, he didn't seem to mind.

"Yi, Eve! Get away from me!

In case, you can't have something on Eve... The hunter, whose situation could not be swallowed, was thinking, somehow, of rescuing Eve.

Eve, however, did not seem to perceive Elder Bear as a threat.

"Maybe you want me to give you a minute?

She reached for Elder Bear's head, ignoring the hunter's instructions. And put your hands on the ice that was there...... I slowly began to melt the ice.

That time was not as long as the hunter had felt. Even though it was ice pickled, it wasn't ice as clear as ice coming out of the ice maker, it was a brittle frozen way for a chunk of ice - or a chunk of snow - to just creep up and make it.

The ice, gradually dissolved by Eve's body temperature, softened enough in time to break even by the power of her hands--,

Worn out......

"Yes, maybe I could have taken it?

—— Eve succeeds in de-icing Elder Bear's head.

As a result, Elder Bear, tilting his neck wonderfully, shook his head with a boom to make sure he was no longer uncomfortable --,

"Buo!"

—— And he sounded his nose with joy, and rubbed his head against Eve's body.
