Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... Enough is enough"

Elder Bear remained like a bear even after he mouthed Mana. But that voice is indisputably the voice of man. It was also a feminine voice, not a masculine voice.

Apparently, Elder Bear, having drank mana, only part of her body - specifically around her vocal cords and tongue muscles - became humanized so that people could speak. Maybe the voice was feminine because, backwards of the original thick squeal, it was actually a female.

Eve against couldn't seem to hide her surprise at first that Elder Bear started talking without changing her appearance. Still, she quickly regains her mind and reacts. Because she didn't understand the meaning of the words Elder Bear uttered.

"That's good enough... what?

"I'm telling you you don't have to cure me. My dog's daughter."

"Hmm... duh, why?!

Eve raised her voice unexpectedly. He himself desperately thought about how he could save Elder Bear, but Elder Bear himself didn't want to be saved, so he couldn't convince or understand.

The opposing Elder Bear, as he slowly lowers his head over the snow, quietly turns to Eve and says why.

"I... attacked them."

…………

"I understand people's logic. They will continue to follow me everywhere until my life runs out. Besides... I know. My life isn't that long anymore. I feel my senses disappear from my body."

"Oh, no... The blood is stopping... No way...!

When Eve says so as she realizes something, the hunter behind her pinches her mouth.

"It must be the poison... There was a groove cut to poison the arrows of the elves. Perhaps he fights head-on, knowing he has no chance of winning, and he thinks of stabbing Todome with poison..."

"Doh, something--"

Can't you do something...... When Eve tried to say that, Elder Bear started talking again.

"This is good. My dog's daughter. Now I can... Now I can go to my child..."

"My... child?

"My daughter has traveled before me... It may be strange to tell you this... but my daughter was hunted by the elves. Right in front of me."

"So..."

"That's right. That's why I attacked the elves. By killing the elves, my anger subsided... but instead, I bought the elves' anger..."

"Mr. Bear......"

"That's why it's good. Now..."

That's what I said, a big breath taking elder bear. Eve seems to have intuitively felt that she would regret not speaking now, adding questions to the visibly debilitating Elder Bear.

"Then why didn't you run away? Don't follow the Eves, maybe you should have run away somewhere so the elves couldn't come!

against the elder bear, as if coughing up--,

"Kufu..."

—— and laughing small......

"Oh yeah...... At the end of the day, it's good to talk to a daughter like you..."

So he withdrew his breath with his words.

"... Mr. Bear?

…………

"Mr. Bear!

Eve rocked Elder Bear's body.

"You're a bear!

Eve rocked the body of Elder Bear, whose eyes were closed as if she were going to sleep, many times with its thin arms. But once you hold your breath, Elder Bear won't let you resume breathing... In time, Eve also stops shaking Elder Bear's body and leans down on the spot.

Meanwhile, the hunter who watched Eve from right behind also remembered his own biocide, which had been repeated many times before, while worrying about what to say to Eve.... were all the families of demons hunted by themselves burning in vengeance like this bear...

Beyond being a "hunter," she was always in possession of the demon's biocide. But I don't imagine what a demon thinks for once every time he hunts, to be sure... I've been hunting demons just because I can eat them, or because I can make them into ingredients.

But now that I knew the fact that both the reason for it and the demon clearly had a will, a heart, and a vengeance, I was rocking a lot. In her heart, her values for demons were changing.

As a result, silence comes between the two of them. Then, shortly afterwards, the voices of the elves began to echo through the scenes and the quiet woods.

... the bear is finally dead. Now the inside is cheap...... They were uniformly delighted that the presence of a dangerous Elder Bear had left the world.

Eve, having heard the words, feels complicated. On the Elder Bear side, on the Elf side, she didn't understand why she would be happy when she said she didn't have anything to gain.

In time, in Eve, anger creeps up step by step.

"I don't know what makes me happy..."

A companion dies, an elder bear dies, an elder bear child dies...... What makes you happy that everyone is dead... The more I thought about it, the more shallow the elves' words and actions were unacceptable, and Eve filled her head with uncontrollable anger.

She therefore seemed to want to turn all this situation upside down. Fortunately, there are Cortex-made magic items in her hands to amplify her magic, and if she exercises all her healing magic, there's no chance she'll be able to resurrect the Elder Bear thing either.

But she never chose that option. of anger, before she reached for Elder Bear, staining the magic out of her body--,

"Um... I want you to wait!

—— Something appeared like a dwarf with clear wings on his back... Because I tried to spread those arms and stop Eve from magic.
