Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

The magical exchange between the school in Eufalia and the school in the capital city is over. I'm glad I got a good result, but a girl named Yuna noticed my lack of ability.

Yuna lost with a sword and lost with magic. I feel that Yuna and I are fundamentally different. Yuna said he was an adventurer. I couldn't believe it at first, but now I can believe it.

Incredibly strong from the appearance of the girl.

Yuna's strength may have survived the battle and survived.

On the contrary, I do not have the experience of fighting for life.

I think Yuna is an adventurer and has fought against monsters in danger of life. Yuna, who has always gained experience in tension, and I, who has practiced in a safe place with lukewarm water, have a difference in the same time.

But from the day my mother died, to today, I've done everything I can to be stronger.

So, if you deny yourself until now, you can't.

Yuna is Yuna. I am me.

Even Yuna must have worked hard to become an adventurer at that age and gain her skills. You must have struggled in a different way from me.

And I'm not trying to be the best.

If the man who killed her appeared before my eyes, I should be able to defeat him. I have learned swords and magic just for that purpose. You can lose to Yuna. I hope I can beat the man who killed my mother.

I tell myself so.

Two days later, she turns 16. If that wasn't a dream, a man who had killed her would appear. All settle on my birthday. I've been working hard for that to this day.

But what would happen if the man who killed her didn't show up? If you don't, you will lose your goal. That's scary now.

In my heart, there is a mixture of the desire for the man who killed her mother to appear, and the desire for the absence of the man to continue this peace.

Which do I want?

The answer is becoming elusive as the birthday approaches.

Tired of the exchange, I fall asleep immediately after falling to bed.

The next day, I wake up.

Today we are going to play on the lake to deepen the exchange between students.

I don't like being noisy, but this is also an exchange event. You have to participate. In any case, it might be nice to get in touch with Yuna. Yuna also said she was not good at making noise, so let's ask.

At that time, you may want to ask the secret of Yuna's strength.

Yuna wants to hear why she became an adventurer at that age and how she gained her strength.

The door is knocked when I change into uniform. If you give permission to enter the room, a maid's collet will enter.

"Good morning, Sereille"

"Good morning"

Collet looks around the room.

"Are you here Keith?"

Asked about his brother Keith.

"I'm not in my room. What happened to Keith?"

"No, I can't see Keith-sama, so I wonder if I'm here."

He doesn't seem to have Keith.

"For a walk in the garden?"

I have been taking a walk since morning.

"Yes, I thought and checked the garden, but I couldn't find it in the garden."

In that case, the toilet and the house are so large that they may be passing each other.

"I look at the room again, and if I'm not there, I'll look for another place."

Collet bows and leaves the room.

I straighten my hair in front of the mirror and head to the dining room.

There is no father. Meals are often separate. I had breakfast alone and walked down the corridor to get back to my room as I saw servants searching for Keith.

Apparently, it has not been found yet.

Sometimes it hides, but it comes out when you call it and it never goes missing.

Above all, she's not the one who bothers her.

Oh, but I remember that in the past, Keith was bedwetting and hiding.

I don't think we were bedwetting.

I go to Keith's room.

No one in the room.

It doesn't seem like you're bedwetting and hiding.

Where did you really go?

"Mr. Keith. Are you here?"

Collet comes in.

But when I look at my face, I get discouraged.

"Cereille-sama?"

"Can't find it yet?"

"Yes, I'm searching by hand."

"What about changing clothes?"

"I didn't change clothes."

If you haven't changed, it's strange.

"To your father?"

"I told you earlier that I couldn't find where I was, and I decided to look for it with all the servants."

So everyone was looking for Keith.

I gradually become anxious.

"You searched for the garden, right?"

"Yes"

"Is it possible you went outside?"

"I'm still in my sleepwear. Right now I'm sorting and checking inside the house."

If you haven't changed, you can't go to town.

Have you been taken away?

Such words came to mind.

I say myself, my body trembles.

"I will help you find it."

"Is the school better?"

"It's not the case if you're saying that. I don't know where Keith is. Just hiding somewhere, but it could be a dangerous situation. Please tell me if there are any suspicious parts. ''

"Yes, tell everyone."

The search for Keith begins.

We searched every room, garden, tree, warehouse, carriage, everywhere.

Every time, we get impatient. No matter how much I search, I can't find Keith.

My dad is in a hurry.

There is no sign of leaving home. In the first place, I don't think I would go out alone in my nightwear. But it's not anywhere in the house.

Your father tells you to search outside. I will return to my room once and go outside to search.

"Where did you really go?"

I notice that there is paper on my desk.

I don't remember leaving the paper on the desk.

Get the paper. Nothing is written. Try turning over the paper.

My hands solidify.

"I've got my brother Keith. I'll wait east of the city of Eufaria. Come alone. If you tell someone, my brother Keith has no life. More than the man who killed your mother."

The body begins to shake.

Take a deep breath and calm down.

Appeared.

It was not a dream.

The person who killed her mother appeared. Besides, he took away his brother.

At that time, the words when my mother was killed are remembered.

"If you talk to others, your cute little brother may be like your mother."

The words of those who killed your mother. Not a threat. Because your mother was killed.

The touch of the man's hand with the blood of his mother at that time is remembered.

My body shakes. I hit my cheek.

Do not run away. For what reason have you worked hard until now?

Tell yourself.

The actions I can take are limited. Talk to someone and Keith is killed. For me, even if I lost, I just had to die. But Keith was taken away.

Keith's face appears. Important brother.

I have to help.

I take one book out of the bookshelf.

In this book, there is a letter for my father.

I wrote it for this time. When can I die?

If I don't come back, you'll notice the book left out by colette.

I look inside the item bag. The sword is in. A sword for killing people, not for practice. I have never killed anyone.

But we have to go kill.

Going to kill may be killed.

If Dad knows, he will scold you for not talking.

If you come back alive, you will be scolded, so please forgive me.

I grab the paper and leave the room. Pretend to be looking for Keith, walk through the hallway and out of the house. If you go to the stables, you will ride a horse. When I leave the stable after making sure no one is there, I jump out of the gate.

Run horses through the city.

Drive along the central main street and come to the gate at once.

The gatekeeper is surprised at me, but smiles so as not to be suspicious.

When I leave the city, I run a horse eastward on the paper.
