Bear-san, Discussing Tomorrow

We were able to locate seven basements with magic circles, but there were many things that needed to be fixed.

“This is bad.” (Kagali)

Including the one we found at the beginning, there were three where the floor was broken.

Four magic circles seemed to be fine.

Nearly half of them were broken.

We discuss the future inside the bear house.

“So you’re saying we can’t use the Kryna-Hark wand?” (Mia)

“I don’t know, four circles may or may not be effective. Until a few days ago, they kept the slime’s magic tools inactive.” (Kagali) 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

Kagali-san’s words made everyone quiet.

Kagali-san didn’t create the magic circle, and it was created by Kryna-Hark a long time ago. Even the person who made it would have no way of knowing if it would still be activated if the three locations were broken.

“Can’t you just fix it? There were unbroken magic circles, weren’t there? We can make it just like that.” (Mia)

“No way.” (Kagali)

“Why?” (Mia)

“The pattern of the magic circle was different. Maybe they were made to have an effect in each direction.” (Kagali)

“Wait, you remembered all seven locations and figured out the pattern is different?” (Mia)

“Not really. But I can at least tell you that it’s not the same. If you doubt it, go check it out.” (Kagali)

“I don’t want to do such a troublesome thing.” (Mia)

Me too, I don’t remember such minute details either.

“Look at the map of this town and where the magic circles are.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san points to the places where the magic circles that Kryna-Hark seems to have left are located on the simple handwritten map of the town.

There are six magic circles at equal intervals lined up in a circle, and then 1 in the centre, for a total of 7 locations.

“The magic circles are evenly spaced. Maybe they were designed to concentrate the magic power in the centre. If it’s a little far from the town, that may be the reason why the magic tools become usable.” (Kagali)

“How could you tell just by looking at the magic circle?” (Mia)

“My age doesn’t reflect my appearance.” (Kagali)

“How old are you?” (Mia)

“You shouldn’t ask a woman her age.” (Kagali)

By the way, Mia and Carol know that Kagali-san can grow up and that she is a fox, but they don’t know that she’s been living for hundreds of years.

“Besides, if we can copy the magic circle so easily, we won’t be having this problem.” (Kagali)

“Kryna-Hark should’ve left something to deal with the slime.” (Mia)

I thought that Mia was right and that there might be some notes about the slime or the magic circle, but there was not a single piece of paper left in any of the rooms.

If you think about it, it’s obvious. Kryna-Hark only took precautions if the slime got out of control and left town before he knew what would happen to the slime research.

Kryna-Hark may have yet to learn in detail whether the slime would go out of control.

That could be why he created a wand to stop the magic tool.

Besides, as Kagali-san said, when we found the first magic circle, the researcher in the basement may have taken all of Kryna-Hark’s things back to study the magic circle.

But there was nothing in the lab.

“The only thing we can do now is to activate the remaining magic circles. The only saving grace was that the magic circle in the centre was still intact. If the magic circle in the centre had been broken, the rest would have been completely useless.” (Kagali)

“But the other three are broken, so it might not work, right?” (Yuna)

“I’ve said it many times, we won’t know until we try.” (Kagali)

“If, if Kryna-Hark’s wand can’t stop it, then…” (Mia)

“In that case, the only option is to destroy the magic tool inside the slime directly.” (Yuna)

I answered on behalf of Kagari-san.

It’s the only way.

“Can you destroy it? The note said the attack didn’t work on the slime.” (Mia)

“I don’t think it’s impossible.” (Yuna)

I have my bear magic.

Electric magic should also be effective if the slime is a water-based monster.

So there is a way to destroy the slime’s magic tools.

The only problem is, where can I find the magical tool in that colossal body? And even if I find it, whether my attack can reach it. I’m not borrowing Kagali-san’s line, but I’ll only know for sure once I try.

That, and the fact that even if we could destroy the magic tool in the slime, we don’t know what would happen to the slime.

Will it stop chasing us, or will it keep chasing us?

Even if it doesn’t come after us, it will still be a threat, depending on what the slime does in the future.

It may start moving wildly.

Just the thought of such a gargantuan slime moving around freely is terrifying. No ordinary village or town can handle it.

“For some reason, when Yuna says it, it makes me feel like she can do it.” (Mia)

“Probably because you have seen some insane things in your life.” (Carol)

Carol answers Mia’s question.

“I know, right. Defeating the knight armors, followed up by summoning bears that can keep running fast for a long time.” (Mia)

“And she has an item bag that can even fit this house in.” (Carol)

“She can also read the notes that no one else could see.” (Mia)

“I can also see it well, you know.” (Kagali)

“And when I look at that bear outfit, I feel calm.” (Carol)

“Yeah, I get it. Worrying about it seriously is going to be ridiculous.” (Mia)

Mia and Carol ignored Kagari-san’s words and started talking about my appearance.

“Looking at Yuna’s outfit makes me feel at peace, isn’t it? Or maybe it’s those bears.” (Mia)

Mia looks at the curled-up Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear with a smile.

“Yeah. I think so too.” (Carol)

Carol agrees with Mia’s words and looks at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in the same way.

And we decided to rest our bodies in preparation for the slime that is expected to come tomorrow.

“Yep, It’s done.” (Yuna)

Meat dishes, bread, pizza, and fruit platters lined up on the table.

It looks more luxurious than usual.

“Maybe it’s our last supper. That’s why it’s so luxurious, isn’t it?” (Mia)

Mia looks at the dishes lined up on the table with a cramped face.

“No. It’s my energy fuel for tomorrow.” (Yuna)

In the first place, I don’t intend to die, and if push comes to shove, I’ll escape through the bear gate.

“Actually, you can use us as bait…” (Mia)

“I’m not going to die, and I’m not going to use you or Carol as bait, Mia.” (Yuna)

Could it be that she was traumatized by being chased by a slime after we left?

We sat down and started eating.

“Delicious!” (Carol)

“Oh, come on. Yuna can even cook?” (Mia)

“Just a hobby.” (Yuna)

I was alone a lot in my former world, and I used to cook for myself, albeit simple food. When I was eating only delivery food, pizza, and convenience store bento, my grandfather got angry with me and almost took me to his house, so I started to cook for myself.

“She has money, is strong, can use magic, has cute bears, she herself is cute, and she can even cook. I can’t win. Life is so unfair.” (Mia)

“Yep, life is not fair.” (Carol)

Mia complains so, while Carol nods while eating the food with great relish.

There were some parts I wanted to deny, but I’m afraid that saying it would cause even more rambling, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut.

“Kagali can fly, and in her true form, she’s an attractive woman. After all, she is knowledgeable and smart.” (Mia)

“You can praise me more.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san looks happy after being praised.

Mia looks at Fina next.

“I’m a normal girl.” (Fina)

Fina noticed Mia’s gaze and answered first.

“You know, girls your age don’t usually come to places like this. You can use magic, and when you see the slime, you’re not as scared of it as we are. No normal children are like that.” (Mia)

If you ask me, Mia is certainly right.

An 11-year-old girl would never come this far or be brought this far away.

“In other words, Fina is no ordinary child!” (Mia)

“……!”

Fina looks shocked at Mia’s words.

What is she shocked about?

I want to question Fina a little.

Then, after discussing tomorrow’s plans and having a definitely not last supper, we decided to take a bath before having a good night’s sleep.

“It feels good.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san soaks in the bathtub comfortably.

“It’s not a hot spring, though.” (Yuna)

We can use the bear gate to return to the hot springs, but even Kagali-san wouldn’t do that.

“Can Mumroot-san fix the magic circle?” (Yuna)

I asked Kagali-san while I was washing Fina’s hair.

“Even Mumroot, who knows a lot about magic, probably couldn’t do it. And even if he could, it wouldn’t be easy to do in just a few days.” (Kagali)

In that case, it seems we have to pray that the remaining magic circle will be activated.

If it doesn’t work, break the magical tool. If that doesn’t stop, then subjugate the slime.

I don’t even know if I can subjugate that massive slime until I fight it.

Well, tomorrow’s wind will come tomorrow.

I washed away the foam on Fina’s hair.
