Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

“Even if we change the direction, it seems to be coming this way.” (Yuna)

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear answered as if they were taught.

“This ain’t good.” (Yuna)

We changed direction twice, but the slime kept changing direction toward us.

It’s definitely following us.

However, the slime is slow and moves sluggishly.

“What are we going to do?” (Mia)

“Now it’s just a matter of getting away from it, if the distance from the slime increases, they will probably give up.” (Kagali)

“No matter how far away we are, if it keeps chasing after us…” (Mia)

“We will be chased for the rest of our lives.” (Kagali)

“No way…” (Mia)

I don’t feel threatened since I can escape through the bear gate, but it would be terrifying for Mia and Carol.

If I had to, I could take Mia and Carol and escape together, but I wonder if I could return them to the city they reside in.

“For the time being, I guess we’ll just have to keep our distance and see if it’ll keep chasing us.” (Kagali)

“But this child can’t keep running…” (Mia)

Mia caresses the horse gently.

Unlike Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, Mia is riding an average horse. Unlike Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, it can’t keep running for too long,

I thought about putting her horse in something like the bear car I made when I went on an employee trip to Mereera, but I quickly gave up after looking at the ground.

“Yuna, do you have any plans?” (Kagali)

Kagali-san asked me while I was pondering.

“I was thinking of making a carriage with magic that can carry horses in it.” (Yuna)

I made a bear carriage with ground magic that will be big enough for a horse to ride in it.

“But the road is bad, so I think it wouldn’t run properly.” (Yuna)

Even though the road is flat, it’s bumpy. If a carriage with wheels runs here, the horse in the carriage will tumble around. Of course, the same applies to people.

“Bear……” (Carol)

“You really like bears, don’t you?” (Mia)

Carol and Mia are looking at the bear carriage in amazement.

Fina is smiling because she has seen it before.

Meanwhile, Kagali-san silently approaches the bear carriage.

“Then Yuna. If I can make it so that it runs without worrying about bumpy roads, then Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear will pull it.” (Kagali)

Before I could reply, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear responded in high spirits.

“Bring it on, they said.” (Yuna)

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were okay because they weren’t running fast to match Mia’s horse and had rested quite enough.

Kagali-san nodded at my words and took out a small bag from her pocket. She then pulled out a magic stone from inside the bag.

And then, she attached the magic stone to the bear carriage.

“What are you going to do with the magic stone?” (Yuna)

“Even though it uses a little magic, I still need some assistance.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san went around the bear carriage and attached a magic stone to the bottom of the bear carriage as well.

“That’s about right. Mia, take the horse inside.” (Kagali)

“In there?” (Mia)

Mia looked a little uneasy while staring at the bear carriage.

“If you don’t want to abandon your horse, just do it.” (Kagali)

“Alright, I get it.” (Mia)

The horse obeys Mia’s words and obediently walks into the bear carriage.

“I put it in. Is this okay?” (Mia)

Kagali-san checks the bear carriage and touches it. Then the bear carriage floats up. While it’s only a few centimeters above the ground, it’s still floating.

“It’s floating?” (Yuna)

“It’s a heavy lifting spell, it only lifts objects a little bit off the ground, but you should have no problem pulling it now.” (Kagali)

When Kagali-san lightly pushed the bear carriage, it moved.

“Kagali-san, I didn’t know you could do this kind of magic.” (Yuna)

“I’m not sure how a little girl like you can do magic! Come to think of it, you can also fly! What’s up with that?” (Mia)

Mia seems to have remembered that Kagali-san flew into the sky.

“Now is not the time to pursue such a thing. Is it okay if we leave late and let the horse be swallowed by the slime?” (Kagali)

Kagali-san used deception… It’s super effective!

“That’s……” (Mia)

“Now, get a rope from the carriage, and start moving.” (Kagali)

“Hold on a second.” (Yuna)

As a test, I try to move the bear carriage in the same way as moving a golem.

The bear carriage moves forward.

“Oh, it worked.” (Yuna)

I tried moving it left and right.

It moves.

I tried moving it up, but it didn’t move.

“It’s not moving upwards.” (Yuna)

“It’s floating just a little above the ground, so you can’t move it up or down.” (Kagali)

But it looks like it’s hovering and easy to pull.

“Come on, if you can move it, then let’s go. Once the effect of the magic stone that’s assisting it gets depleted, it won’t float anymore.” (Kagali)

Fina, Kagali-san, and I are riding on Swaying Bear, and Mia and Carol are riding on Hugging Bear. Then, I pulled the bear carriage carrying the horse with my magic.

The bear carriage does not touch the ground, so it moves smoothly. With this, the horse riding in the bear carriage should be fine.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear kept running away from the slime.

******

It’s evening.

We’re now resting inside the bear house.

“It’s a really convenient house.” (Mia)

Mia sat down on a chair and slumped on the table.

The horse is feeding and resting in the bear’s carriage.

I’m glad to hear that it wasn’t overburdened and that it was in good spirits.

“So, is the slime still chasing us?” (Carol)

Carol asked anxiously.

“Since we’re too far away, even these kids wouldn’t know.” (Yuna)

I turn my attention slightly to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, who are curled up in a ball in the room, resting.

Of course, even with detection skills, they can’t tell because it’s out of range.

But the slime moves so slowly that it’s quite a distance away.

“Is that so?” (Carol)

“It’s going to be okay. These bears ran incredibly fast, so the slime should be far away. If it’s that far away, the slime won’t be able to follow us.” (Mia)

Mia says optimistic words, I guess it may really be what she wishes for.

But, you know, that’s what you’d typically call a flag.

I would like to break that flag, but this is not something I can break on my own.

“But then again, why would there be slime in that basement?” (Carol)

“Yeah, that’s right. Even if we try to investigate, we can’t go back to that town.” (Kagali)

“It was vague in that notebook, but the research may have been about the slime.” (Carol)

When she mentioned the word notebook, it reminded me of the other notebook we found in the room where the skeletal corpse was.

“Wait a minute, maybe there’s something written in this notebook.” (Yuna)

I took out the 2nd notebook from the bear box.

“They didn’t write anything about the slime in that notebook.” (Carol)

“No, it’s different. It’s a totally different notebook.” (Yuna)

“Wasn’t it just a blank notebook?” (Mia)

“I didn’t tell you earlier, but when I touched it, the letters suddenly floated.” (Yuna)

I held out the blank notebook in front, and the letters appeared on the notebook’s cover.

The title of the notebook read “Actual Record”.

“There’s nothing written on it.” (Mia)

Mia looks at the notebook.

“Yuna-oneesan, is there something really written on it?” (Fina)

Fina is staring at the notebook.

“Well, it says “Actual record” on the cover.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san reacted to the words written in the notebook…

“I don’t see it.” (Carol)

Carol said as her breasts swayed.

Apparently, only me and Kagali-san can see the words.

I remember this feeling. It’s the same thing with Kryna-Hark’s book.

“Yuna, what’s written in it?” (Kagali)

Kagali-san urged me to open the notebook.

“If you can see these words, it means you possess a high level of magical power.“

“High-level magic?” (Mia)

“It seems that you can’t read it unless your magical power is high enough. It’s the same with Kryna-Hark’s book.” (Yuna)

Kagali-san nodded while peering in from the side.

Apparently, Kagali-san thought the same thing.

“Kryna-Hark? You mean that Kryna-Hark?” (Mia)

“I’ve seen a similar phenomenon before when I picked up one of Kryna-Hark’s books.” (Kagali)

“Why would a little girl like you ever see Kryna-Hark’s book? It’s a precious book, and there’s no way a little girl like you can easily see it. Only a handful of people can see it, like the rich and influential people…” (Mia)

Mia said that much and then stared at Kagali-san.

“Could it be that you’re a princess somewhere!?” (Mia)

Mia exclaimed as if she had understood something.

But she doesn’t really understand anything.

“That explains how she can fly, use magic to make that strange bear carriage float, and see the words in the notebook.” (Mia)

Nah, I don’t think even a princess can do it without a talent for magic.

“Then that means, Yuna is the bodyguard and Fina is the servant who takes care of her. Now I understand why Yuna is so strong. She has to be that strong to guard the princess. And that explains why they both called the young Kagali by her honorific title.” (Mia)

Mia makes a triumphant look as if to say she guessed everything.

No, it’s not the right answer, no matter how triumphant that look you’re making.

However, Kagali-san made an expression as if she had been exposed.

“Well, now you understand. We had to hide our identities.” (Kagali)

“Fufu, my eyes cannot be deceived.” (Mia)

No, you are the one being deceived here.

“Eh, Kagali-chan, you’re a princess? What should I do, did I say something rude? Am I going to get killed?” (Carol)

Even Carol starts believing that Kagali-san is a princess and begins to panic.

“Getting killed?” (Mia)

Mia turns pale at Carol’s words.

“Etto, Kagali, Kagali-sama. Am I going to be killed?” (Mia)

Suddenly, Mia’s tone shifted.

Well, when you find out that the girl you thought was a commoner turned out to be a princess, you can’t help but change your attitude.

She’s actually a fox youkai, though.

“Don’t worry. I won’t have you killed. And you don’t have to change your tone.” (Kagali)

“Really? You won’t kill me?” (Mia)

“I won’t.” (Kagali)

“That’s good to hear.” (Mia)

I approached Kagali-san and talked to her in a low voice.

“Is it really okay to lie?” (Yuna)

“It’s not a lie, you know? There’s no one nobler than me, and I’m even called a Fox God. In other words, I’m a god. I can lower my social status and call myself a fox princess.” (Kagali)

“I think you’re more of a queen than a princess.” (Yuna)

When I think of her actual appearance, I feel like she’s not a cute princess but an arrogant big-breasted queen.
