Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

Thinking about what if, me and Finna, Mr. Kagari decided to sleep in the same room. Unlike me and Mr. Kagari, Finna is an ordinary 11-year-old girl who has no power to fight.

"Uh, what about Finna?

Ask Finna, who tries to enter the futon with Kumayuru, who has become a child bear.

"What do you want me to do?

Finna tilts her neck small.

Apparently, it didn't convey what I was trying to say.

"Going home to Crimonia?

Now Finna is astonished by my words.

"Yuna, what about your sister and Mr. Kagari?

"Abandon the Mias, you can't go home, I'll stay."

When you return to Crimonia, when you crusade the slime, or when you can't crusade the slime, it's time to take the Mias away.

"Well, in the meantime, until your life is in imminent danger, you should stay. As I said earlier, it is also the responsibility of the concubine. I'm not going to do anything I can."

"I am the one who instilled magic in the wand, despite Mr. Kagari's instructions. But Finna."

I personally said it was because I used the magic of light, but I can't blame you for that.

But Finna shakes her head small.

"Yeah, if suddenly I'm gone, I think I'd better stay, too, because I find Mr. Mia and Mr. Carroll strange.... but if your sister Yuna thinks you're in the way..."

Finna says reluctantly, holding Kumayuru.

Finna is right, too. If all of a sudden Finna is gone, the two of them will freak out. How, did you leave, did you let me go home alone, or didn't Slime go after you? If we don't talk about the bear's metastasis gate, it'll also make the two of us anxious.

Besides, Finna's not in the way.

Either that or Mia and Carol are the ones who are in the way.

"It's troublesome explaining it to both of us, and it'll help you stay. But if you think it's dangerous, I'll ask Crimonia to go home."

If Finna is in danger, Finna's life is a top priority rather than hiding about the bear's transfer gate.

"Right. When the concubines think they're in danger, don't go home."

"Can you promise?

"Yeah!"

Finna nods honestly. The look made me look a little happy.

"As a matter of fact, Mr. Kagari, do you think we can do something about it?

"There are a few ways to deal with it, but it doesn't matter if you can."

"Do you have a way of dealing with it?

Finna, who was listening to me and Mr. Kagari, asks.

"First of all, it's not a way to magic Yuna's wand again and stop Slime from acting. Kruna-Hulk's magic props are supposed to be installed somewhere in town. So we have to get back to town."

"Well, then, you can't let your sister Yuna magic her wand here."

"It will be."

"The rest is not the destruction of the magic props that are directly in the slime. If we destroy it, we may lose orders to purify people."

If there are no more orders, there is a possibility that they will not come after us.

"The question is, where in that giant slime is the magic trick?"

It's like looking out of a little, little lake.

Well, it's easier than looking for pebbles from the desert.

"Even if we could find it, there's also the question of whether we could break it. It said in the notebook that the magic had been absorbed into the slime. I don't know if the magic of the concubines can damage the slime."

I don't know what the wizard's level was at the time, but there's a chance the magic won't work.

Even if normal magic doesn't work, if it's bear magic, we might be able to figure it out.

"Well, I mean, if you don't try, you don't know."

"The best part is that Slime will give up and go without people,"

"Well, judgment around here is not about the future of slime behavior. So let's just say we rest now. Bears, if the slime comes, I'll ask for it."

Mr. Kagari asks toward Kumakuru, whom I hold, and toward Kumayuru, which Fina holds. Kumayuru and Kumayu squeal, "Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,"

And when Mr. Kagari wears a futon, he falls asleep.

"Let us sleep too. Finna would be tired too. Because Kumayuru and Kumayu are here, you can sleep in peace."

"... yeah"

I darken the room and now I decide to take a break.

Mia point of view

I got into the futon, but I'm worried about the slime, and I'm not likely to be able to sleep right away.

"Carol, what shall I do?"

I ask Carol, who is in the next bed, wearing a futon.

"Yeah, what am I gonna do"

Carol returns the same words I asked.

I've been thinking a lot about it while I'm running away from the slime, but it's not the answer.

"But is there any way to defeat it?

"If you're coming after me, get on a boat and go out to sea or something? Then why don't you sink to the bottom of the ocean and die?

If you sink to the bottom of the ocean, you could die.

"Slime can live in the water, so I don't think so. On the contrary, inhale the water and it could get big."

The way I thought, retarded, is immediately dismissed.

I grew up in that groundwater, so it's quite possible.

"Ugh, when it gets bigger than it is now, the world could end"

I don't even want to imagine.

"The Kagaris said it wasn't my fault, but it was my fault, wasn't it? Because I came to Heshlag. Because I sought to explore treasures."

Given the cause, I feel the worst.

Carol just followed me, so it's not bad.

"Kagari......, Kagari said. Even if we hadn't come, I think those two would have been exploring."

"So you're saying I'm not responsible?

"Yeah, I'm not saying we're not responsible. I actually went to Heshlag, met with Mr. Kagari, negotiated, went to that room, and found the wand."

"That's right. But without Yuna's magic,"

If we were alone, we would assume that the wand did not activate.

I said something cool in front of Yuna and the blame was on me, but I wanted to think I wasn't actually responsible. Somewhere in my heart, I feel like running away.

If that slime strikes the city and many die, I don't think I can stand the blame. So when Kagari says it's not my fault, I have a ho self.

My heart is filthy.

That's why I can't take down a big slime like that.

It's big, even just from a distance. It has both height and width. How do you attack like that?

My knife will never do it. Even Carol's magic is impossible. There is nothing we can do.

Helpless. Deplores my powerlessness.

"Everything is because of that researcher. Without that wand, nothing would have happened. Take responsibility until the end."

If that researcher's white bone corpse did not have a cane, I would not have found a cane, Kagari would not have allowed Yuna to enchant herself, or Yuna would have enchanted herself on the cane. Anyway, it's that white bone corpse researcher's fault.

"But they're all sweet, aren't they? You can put us down and run. Don't run away, you'll even worry about the horse we rode."

"That's your favorite chunk."

I think it's possible to escape if you run on that bear called Kumayuru and Kumayu.

He kept us running for quite a distance, but he didn't look tired.

So I asked, "Will you not put us down and run away?"

The response was kind.

Unlike my filthy heart, which with the help of the Yunas was contemplating obtaining treasure.

Um, even the little fina says she's responsible for it because she used light magic.

Really, all three of them are fond of you.

So, extra, my heart will look black.

"But you didn't think Mr. Kagari was a fox."

"It's true. All of a sudden, you're gonna grow up, and you're gonna have fox ears and tails."

I've never seen or heard of animals being human.

"Actually, I'd still believe Yuna was a real bear."

It's easier to defeat armored knights we can't defeat, we can follow two bears, we're dressed as bears, and it's more convincing for Yuna to be a bear than Kagari to be a fox.

"Hehe, you're right. As a matter of fact, if Yuna was such a cute bear, she might have believed me."

In that case, would Yuna be a bear princess?

I just imagined it, and it spills a grin.

"I don't really understand the relationship between the three of them."

"To a fox who can be a person, to a girl dressed as a bear, a normal girl"

I really don't know the relationship.

When I first met her, a relationship that I don't already know what it means to be a toddler and a girl and a bear, but because Kagali was a fox or an adult, I couldn't figure out the relationship extra.

"But with kids like Kagari, the world is huge. Lots of things I don't know. I want to see more, the world."

"Maybe Mia's grandfather and parents felt the same way about Mia now and became adventurers."

When they say I'm the same as those parents, I feel bad, but if I don't think about the money, I might know how my parents feel too.

That is not why it is okay to leave us children alone.

Talking about Kagari and Yuna, I forget about Slime and gradually get sleepy.

Maybe the thread I was nervous about broke.

I can hear Carol calling, but I can't even respond.

"Good night, Mia"

In my heart I fell asleep when I said "good night".
