Bear-san, Gives Fina’s Present, Dezerto City Edition 6
“There’s a staircase here.”
A small staircase appeared behind the pedestal fitted with a crystal plate.
“I believe that Cyan and Quat stored various things in the room below this one. Well, it’s been more than a hundred years since then, so I don’t know what has happened since then.” (Mumroot)
Well, Mumroot-san has no way of knowing what happened to Cyan-san, her children, or her descendants after he left the city.
“Stairs appeared from the floor.” (Fina)
Fina moves in front of the stairs.
“Are we going down the stairs?” (Ruimin)
“What’s in there?” (Shuri)
Shuri and Ruimin also asked curiously as they looked at the stairs that appeared.
“Etto, well…”
Karina was at a loss for words while looking at the stairs and us.
Is it okay for her to take us inside or not?
Personally, I want to go inside too. But this place was protected by Karina’s ancestors. So I can’t say I want to go inside that easily.
If I said I wanted to enter, Karina’s personality would make it impossible for her to refuse my request.
“We are waiting for them here. Shuri, this is an important place for Karina’s ancestors, so we can’t enter.” (Fina)
“Is that so?” (Shuri)
Shuri looks at the stairs regretfully.
“So you’ll have to wait here with .” (Fina)
“Un”
Shuri is a curious girl with many questions, but she is also a good girl who’ll understand if you explain why she can’t do sothing. Ruimin is also looking at the stairs as if she is leaving sothing behind, but since Shuri is not being selfish, she has given up.
“Shuri-chan, Ruimin-san. I’m sorry.” (Karina)
“No, it’s fine. I’ll be waiting with my sisters.” (Shuri)
“Yes, don’t worry about it.” (Ruimin)
“Well, then, it would be better for not to join you there too, wouldn’t it?” (Mumroot)
When we refrained, even Mumroot-san started saying such things.
“Mumroot-sama, haven’t you been inside there before?” (Karina)
“Well, that was a long ti ago.” (Mumroot)
“I’m a little scared to go in alone, so I would appreciate it if you would co with , Mumroot-sama. Besides, you are looking for sothing too, right? It might be difficult for to find it by myself.” (Karina)
“Then that’s alright with .” (Mumroot)
“Thank you very much.” (Karina)
And so, Mumroot-san and Karina went down the stairs.
Shuri and Ruimin looked at Mumroot-san and Karina with envy. Honestly, I also wanted to go. Because it was a hidden room. I’m not copying Shuri, but I wanted to see what kind of room it was. However, if I told Karina I wanted to see it, it would trouble her.
I decided to be patient and wait here with Shuri and the others.
“Then, shall we take a look at this room as well?” (Yuna)
“Un. Yuna-oneechan, can I have a closer look at that big cup?” (Shuri)
Shuri points to the water coming from the large cup. Apparently, there’s still sothing of interest in this room.
“It’s fine, but don’t touch it.” (Yuna)
“Un!”
After permitting them, Shuri, Fina and Ruimin also climbed the stairs to get a closer look at the overflowing cup of water. Apparently, Fina wanted to see it up close, too.

-Mumroot’s POV-
I went down the stairs with Lady Karina.
A short walk down the stairs led to a room a bit larger than the one earlier.
How nostalgic. The mory of that ti cos flooding back to .
So of them were nostalgic, but there were also many things I saw for the first ti.
The desk and bookshelves that Cyan used are still there.
But I don’t know what’s on her desk or the bookshelf.
“I didn’t realize there was such a place like this.” (Karina)
Karina looks at the room curiously.
“This room is a state of unuse for a long ti, but it’s still beautiful.” (Karina)
“It was already like this when we first found it.” (Mumroot)
“Ano. Mumroot-sama, was there nothing in this room?” (Karina)
“There were jewels and other things. But it was all used for the developnt of the city. Cyan wanted to share it with everyone in the party, but Kodirook and I declined. We made the two of them use these treasures to develop the city so that it is possible for people to live here.” (Mumroot)
“So that’s what made the city what it is today.” (Karina)
Lady Karina looks around the room with deep emotion.
“So, what is it that you’re looking for, Mumroot-sama?” (Karina)
“A letter from Cyan and Quat. I would appreciate it if you could help find them along with the notebook.” (Mumroot)
“Yes, I understand.” (Karina)
We split up and decided to check the room.
There are more things in the room that I don’t know than when I walked in. I don’t know if Cyan and Quat added them or if their descendants carried them, but there are all kinds of things.
Lady Karina is looking at various objects with great interest.
Looking at the wall, I found sothing nostalgic on display.
“These are the weapons that Cyan and Quat used.” (Mumroot)
When I said that, Lady Karina also looked at the staff and sword hanging on the wall.
“Cyan-sama and Quat-sama…” (Karina)
It brings back mories of those two using these weapons.
I had completely forgotten about it, but since I ca to this city, I have been reminded of many things.
And as I was looking at the items on the shelves, I saw a neat little box. I recognized that little box.
“Lady Karina, do you mind if we check the contents of that box?” (Mumroot)
“This one? It’s a beautiful box.” (Karina)
Lady Karina grabs the small box on the shelf.
“It was a gift from Quat and Cyan. Perhaps there is sothing in it.” (Mumroot)
“I see. I’ll check inside.” (Karina)
Lady Karina opens the box.
“There are letters inside.” (Karina)
Lady Karina takes out a bundle of envelopes from the box and checks the contents.
“These are letters from Cyan-sama and Quat-sama to Mumroot-sama and Kodirook-sama.” (Karina)
Lady Karina handed the letters.
“Are you sure?” (Mumroot)
“Yes. I’m sure both Cyan-sama and Quat-sama won’t get angry.” (Karina)
“I appreciate it.” (Mumroot)
I received a bundle of letters.
The envelopes had the nas Cyan and Quat. There are quite a few letters. The date was written in the lower left corner of the na. Apparently, they were written every year.
“Mumroot-sama, were you expecting a letter from Cyan-sama?” (Karina)
“Since I ca here, I’ve had a lot of things to think about. Then I just rembered what she said. Even so, I had completely forgotten about them. I’m such a heartless old man.” (Mumroot)
When conversing with Cyan and Quat in front of their grave, I rembered what she said, “I don’t care how many years pass, one day you’ll co and see the city we have built. “I’ll write you a letter”.
“I don’t think so. I am sure they’re glad that you ca.” (Karina)
That also depends on what this letter says.
I opened the seal of the last letter, took out the letter inside, and looked through it.
Mumroot, how are you? I did my best. I was happy, I had children and grandchildren. The only frustrating thing is that I can’t see what will happen to this lake city anymore. That’s why I envy you, Mumroot. I don’t know when you will read this letter, but I am sure our descendants will make this city as good as any other. They are, aren’t they?
Your descendants are working hard to carry on your will. Don’t worry.
The letter contained many other things.
I’m on the verge of tears at this age, but I hold them in. Although, if I read the letter any further, I’m sure I will not be able to stop the tears from coming out, so I close the letter without reading it all the way through.
“Lady Karina, thank you for bringing into this pyramid.” (Mumroot)
“No, I’m the one who should be thankful, I was able to learn more about the pyramid, the crystal plate, and this room. I’m sure my mother will be pleased.” (Karina)
This room hasn’t changed, and it brings back a lot of mories.
“All that’s left is Cyan’s notebook.” (Mumroot)
“It was also in this small box. It also ntioned details about this pyramid and the crystal plate, so I think it was Cyan-sama’s notebook that you ntioned, Mumroot-sama.” (Karina)
Lady Karina shows the old notebook.
How nostalgic. That’s the notebook Cyan used to write in.
“Ah, this is it for sure.” (Mumroot)
We have finished searching in this room.
“Well then, Ruimin and the others are waiting for us upstairs, so let’s go back.” (Mumroot)
“Etto, what should we do with this letter for Kodirook-sama?” (Karina)
Lady Karina is in trouble with a letter addressed to Kodirook.
Kodirook is gone. He had already passed away, just like Cyan.
“I’ll take it to his grave.” (Mumroot)
I can’t just take it with .
“May I trouble you with it?” (Karina)
But Lady Karina gives her permission so easily.
“No, wait, it’s better to get permission from your parents first.” (Mumroot)
“Yes, I see. Of course, I’ll check with my mother and father first.” (Karina)
Lady Karina puts the letters for Kodirook in the item bag. She then puts Cyan’s notebook she was carrying back in the small box and returns the small box to where it was before.
“Why don’t you take it back with you?” (Mumroot)
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to take it out from this place. I’ll co with my mother and father at a later date. Besides, thanks to you, Mumroot-sama, we can enter this core room easily now.” (Karina)
“Very well.” (Mumroot)
After we both found what we were looking for, we returned to the room where Bear Missy, and the girls were waiting for us.
Before I went up the stairs, I slapped my face to get show a normal facial expression because I didn’t want my granddaughter to see my weird expression.
Lady Karina asked, “What’s wrong?” but I played it by saying, “It’s nothing”.
Then, when we got up the stairs, the girls’ clothes were wet, aside from Bear Missy.
“What are you doing?” (Mumroot)
“They tried to see where the water ca out from, but they got wet in the process.” (Yuna)
According to the story, they got too close while looking inside the cup overflowing with water and got wet.
“Fufu, well then, you’ll catch a cold if you stay wet, so let’s go outside.” (Karina)
We exit through the door we entered.
