Labriatt was quite perplexed by my Bear House .
「W-what is this?!」
「This is my house . 」
「Still, why is it shaped like a bear?」
Most people stopped asking questions after taking a look at my house and outfit . However, Labriatt was being quite frank .
I wished I could just not comnt on what it looked like, honestly .
「It has the Protection of the Bear . 」
Yesterday, I decided to use the sa excuse I used with the elf girl to explain for my Bear House . What a useful phrase .
「Protection of the Bear?」
Labriatt said, switching his gaze between the house and . After doing so for a while, he finally seed convinced and stopped interrogating . While I was glad that bringing out the Protection of the Bear excuse most of the ti ended up being enough to convince people, I still felt weird every ti I used it .
「As you can see, it would stand out if I brought it out in the village, so I decided to use this location instead . Not to ntion it is quite close to the village . 」
From the top of the waterfall, I could even see a bit of the village . If I ran, I could get there in no ti .
「True, it does stand out, but that still doesn’t change the fact that it’s dangerous out here . 」
While Labriatt had accepted my reasoning, he was still against my choice of location .
Hmm, he was only worried about , and it would be difficult to assure him .
If I didn’t care about how he felt, I would just ignore his opinion . Heck, I could just knock him out and be done with it . Yet, I didn’t want any trouble and wanted the elves to like , so I couldn’t do that .
After a short silence, I finally got an idea .
「There’s nothing to worry about since I have these two with . 」
I said and summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, leaving Labriatt with a surprised expression .
「Your summons, huh… Are they strong?」
「They’re quite strong, and they will also alert if any monsters approach us . So, being here won’t really be that dangerous . 」
Labriatt took another look around and when he turned back to , I could see his lips curling up into a smile .
「Sanya sure brought ho a strange person . 」
This was the first ti I had seen him smile .
「Okay, feel free to stay out here . Still, I must warn you that it will not be our responsibility if anything were to happen to you . 」
Basically, if I were to be attacked, I would have to deal with it myself . Well, I didn’t plan on having elves take responsibility for any damages caused by fighting anyway .
「I’m fine with that . I can handle it on my own . 」
Labriatt turned his gaze to the village, seemingly assured .
「Oh, that reminds , I haven’t introduced myself yet . I’m Labriatt, and I’m in charge of guarding the barrier . If any monsters appear, please let know, and we will take care of them . 」
I could take care of them myself but nodded in agreent .
At that very mont, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear lifted their heads and cried out .
Was sothing wrong? I looked in the direction of their gazes and saw sothing black in the sky .
Was it moving?
Was it a bird?
Still, if the Bears were reacting to it, it must be a monster, right?
I used my detection magic to check and there was indeed a reaction .
It was monster called a volcrow, a bird-type species larger than eagles .
Not to ntion there were ten of them flying towards us at high speeds .
「Is sothing the matter?」
Labriatt asked, noticing my strange behavior .
「There are monsters over there . 」
Labriatt followed my gaze .
「Those are the Orrval Mountains . Could it be volcrows?!」
Labriatt shouted when he noticed the dots .
Indeed, it appeared that the volcrows ca flying from those mountains, which ant they were most likely living there .
「What about the barrier?!」
「At this distance, they must already be inside!」
The volcrows were now at a distance where we could could see their distinctive red beaks .
In the ga, their beaks had poison in them, which caused paralysis on skin contact . That made them quite difficult to deal with .
「Hurry up and hide!」
Labriatt instructed while glaring at the volcrows .
「Are they going to attack us?」
It was possible that their goal laid sowhere else, right?
「They like to attack us elves, so you need to fall back . 」
Just as he said that, the volcrows began to descend upon us .
They were diving down at very high speeds, so Labriatt already began bracing himself for the coming assault, and I fell behind him to give him support .
Now that monsters were here, I shouldn’t run away and leaving him to fend for himself, but I also didn’t want to get in Labriatt’s way .
Labriatt shot so wind magic at the volcrows in front, but they quickly dispersed and dodged it completely then spread out and surrounded us .
「You don’t have to worry about !」
I yelled at him and got ready to deal with any volcrows coming at .
Labrilata briefly looked at before turning back, only saying, 「Okay」 .
Just like Labriatt, I also used wind magic on the four volcrows that ca diving at .
As my Wind Cutters flew at them, the volcrows attempted to dodge, but at this range and the speed of my magic, which was considerably faster than Labriatt’s, it was more or less impossible for them to do so . They were all sliced in half and dropped to the ground .
I then looked over at Labriatt’s side, and saw that he did hit three volcrows himself, but there were still three left . They circled back to the sky, so I got ready for another dive, but they just kept flying away . Labriatt tried shooting them down from a distance but sadly fell short .
「Shit!」
Labriatt sweared and furiously glared in the direction they escaped at .
They had already left the range of my detection magic, so chasing them would be quite hard .
Labriatt cald himself down after a while and turned to .
「Thanks for helping . It would be hard to deal with them if you didn’t take four of them down like that . 」
「Still, we let so get away . 」
「That’s okay . We have other elves patrolling the area, and they should be able to take down them down easily as long as they aren’t taken by surprise . 」
Certainly, the volcrows could easily be taken down if one was capable of using magic . They were quite dangerous to those who couldn’t use it, though . Well, elves generally knew how to use magic, so they should be fine .
「I need to head back to the village to report this . What about you?」
「I’ll stay here . 」
「Alright, if any trouble shows up, run towards the village, okay?」
Labriatt told and then quickly disappeared into the forest, leaving my Bears and behind, next to seven dead volcrows on the ground .
Could I maybe make so money by selling them?
Before that, was it even okay for to take them?
Well, if they ever asked to hand them over, I would, but for now, I decided to just put them into my Bear Box .
I then turned Swaying Bear and Hugging into their cub forms before heading into the Bear House as it would be much easier to relax there .
The mont I sat down on the sofa, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear imdiately curled up by my sides: their default spots when there were no guests around .
After simply relaxing for a while, I took out the Bear Phone and called Fina .
She should be at ho right now, helping Terumi-san with housework, but she wasn’t picking up .
I did tell her not to answer if there were people over, so maybe they had so guests at their house right now
Just as I was about to cut the connection, Fina finally picked up .
「Hello, Fina?」
『Yuna-oneechan?』
Great, I managed to get to her .
It was pretty amazing how we could still communicate over such a large distance .
As expected of one of the God’s cheat skills, I should say .
Well, my forr world had satellite cell phones, so it was possible to call anyone from almost anywhere, but this was still impressive for this place .
Hmm, now that I thought about it, how exactly did it even work?
「Are you busy?」
『No, I’m fine right now . I’ve just finished doing the laundry and cleaning around the house, so I’m currently resting . 』
Okay, she had the ti to chat, then .
「Anything weird happened back ho?」
『No, not really . How are things on your side?』
「We reached the Elf Village safely . 」
『That’s great, you’ve reached it already . I would love to see it one day as well . 』
「Do you want to co right now?」
If I used the Bear Transportation Door, she could co straight away .
『If I suddenly appeared, wouldn’t Sanya-san be completely shocked?』
She had a point .
I should bring her along the next ti I ca here .
Still, to do that, I would have to set up the Bear Transportation Door sowhere close by .
Well, in the worst case, I would just have to use the one I had in Raruuze .
「Anyway, great to hear everything is okay back ho . 」
『Mhm… Oh!』
Fina sounded like she just rembered sothing .
「What’s wrong? Did sothing happen, after all?」
『Shortly after you left, Zelef-san and Eleanora-san ca to visit you . 』
「Zelef-san and Eleanora-san did?」
It made sense for Eleanora-san to co since Cliff and Noa were living in Crimonia, but why would Zelef-san co around as well?
「Could it be that they needed for sothing?」
That was the only reason I could think of .
『They ca to check out the shop, but I think they wanted to see you as well, Yuna-oneechan . 』
「My shop?」
『Mhm, I think they called it an inspection? They examined the shop and its food . 』
Oh right, they had ntioned that they wanted to see my shop in Crimonia . That must have been why they ca to visit .
「Did they comnt on it anyhow?」
『They complinted the food, saying that it was very delicious . 』
Well, with Morin-san’s bread, Elena-san doing her best at making cakes, and the children working hard every day, of course the food was always delicious .
『Also, when they saw the Bear-san dolls around the shop, they just couldn’t stop laughing . 』
Rude, why did they have to laugh?
I had made those because sobody said that it would be better if the shop was more bear-thed .
They were really popular with the custors; so even asked if they could buy them to keep as decorations in their hos .
Yeah, it wasn’t really sothing to scoff at .
「Anyway, was anyone surprised to see Zelef-san and Eleanora-san co all of a sudden?」
『Yes, Mom was very surprised . 』
「What about everyone else?」
『Only Mom and I knew who they were . Mylene-san also ca in before us but was told to keep quiet . They just wanted to take a look at the shop without making too much of a commotion . 』
「And you, Fina? You weren’t surprised?」
『I was a bit surprised, but not as much as Mom . 』
Was Fina starting to get used to nobles?
Before, she would get so nervous she couldn’t even talk to them normally .
Well, she had been playing with Noa a lot lately and even attended Misa’s birthday party . It made sense for her to grow more confident .
「Still, why would they co so suddenly? They could at least have sent a ssage beforehand . 」
『I think they just wanted to surprise you . 』
Well, anybody would be surprised if they showed up so suddenly .
I was glad they had co to Crimonia to see , but I would have preferred it they didn’t make it a surprise visit as they missed because of it .
『They were really disappointed when they found out that you weren’t here . 』
I could almost see Eleanora-san’s displeased expression . Was she going to complain to next ti we co across each other?
「Did they leave already?」
『They did . They were only here for two days as they supposedly had to head back to the Capital quickly . 』
It seed like they really had only co to inspect my shop .
『Oh right, they asked to tell you that they said hi . 』
「Anything else?」
『Yes, Mom was mad that you weren’t here . 』
This ti, it was Terumi-san’s angry expression which floated into my mind .
Well, it wasn’t my fault that Eleanora-san and Zelef-san had co without warning .
Wait, but wasn’t it my fault that they had even co?
Leaving that aside, I continued to chat with Fina about so random topics before ending the call .
I wished Fina had called when sothing like that happened .
Well, even if she had called, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything .
It wasn’t like I could have gone straight back to Crimonia . Also, I wouldn’t have been able to use the Bear Phone in front of Sanya-san, and even if I could use it, I could have only instructed Fina what to do over the phone . Heck, it would have been a lot more troubleso if Eleanora-san found out about the phone, so maybe things turned out for the best in the end .
Author’s Note:
I want to write about what happened in Crimonia as well .
