Bear-san Fighting Knights
I stood before the Knights.
One of the knights asked, “What?”
Following that, another knight reacted, “Bear?”
“What are you doing here, my lady?” (Knight ???)
“This is not the place for you.” (Knight ???)
“Or are you here for us?” (Knight ???)
“Sorry but, don’t waste our ti.” (Knight ???)
“Go away.” (Knight ???)
Ignoring them, I tried to walk through.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t let you leave this place.” (Yuna)
With those words, I made a surprise attack.
Nurous bars of dirt were erected from the ground and surrounded the Knights like a jail. The rods bent in the middle and beca a giant do, blocking the ceiling.
“A magician!” (Knight ???)
“I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to stay in there for a while…” (Yuna)
As I was about to move on, a Knight drew his sword, slashed at the prison, and broke it.
Even though it was made of clay, it was still hardened by magic, so it should not have been that easy to break.
When I caught so bandits before during the King’s birthday celebration, I caught them the sa way. So it was a surprise that the cage was easily broken.
“Little girl, do you know who we are and what we’re doing?” (Knight ???)
“Are you by any chance involved in the surrounding smoke?” (Knight ???)
His gaze changed, and he glared at .
I was not following the agreed plan, but my decision to hold them back here was correct.
If I let these Knights go to the Guild Master and the others, they would have been in big trouble.
So, I have to take care of these Knights here.
That way, I could also do my part without worrying.
If they could escape from a regular cage, I had to trap them using bears.
With that plan in mind, I summoned earth bears from the ground and surrounded the Knights.
This ti, I was not careful enough, so I could not encircle all of them.
But the ones caught would not be able to escape.
The bears surrounding them closed in, and I created a ceiling.
That captured about three of them.
The knight trapped in the Bear Cage swung his sword down toward the pillar bear, but his sword slash only bounced off.
“What the heck. I can’t cut it.” (Knight ???)
It seed like they could not break my bear magic.
Bear magic was the strongest.
The Knights who avoided the bear enclosure tried to rescue the others that were trapped in the Bear Cage, but they failed.
I created more bear cages around the Knights trying to rescue trapped knights.
“Get away! Stop, or you will also be caught!” (Knight ???)
One of the Knights yelled.
Hearing the commands, the Knights moved away from the cage to escape.
They were quick in making judgents.
A Knight raised his voice to bark instructions to the surrounding Knights who were not trapped. This knight cut the first cage to escape and was not caught in the Bear Cage. He may be their captain.
“She may look strange, but she’s more powerful than the magicians around here. You need to brace yourself. Don’t underestimate her just because she’s dressed funny.”
He was different from the captain I t outside the city, but he seed to be a good Knight, unlike the other Knights. He also didn’t insult because I was a girl dressed as a bear.
The only thing that irritated was him pointing out my outfit.
“You’ve got to be kidding .” (Knight ???)
“You little prick!” (Knight ???)
“…!” (Knight ???)
About three Knights attacked without thinking. I guess they still have so sense of reason because they haven’t pulled out their swords.
A man who looked like a captain shouted, “Wait!” but it was too late.
I avoided the Knight’s arm and punched him in the stomach.
Bear punch, Bear punch, Bear punch.
The three Knights who were hit by my bear punches flew backwards.
The direction they flew away to was the Bear Cage.
I created a gap between the bears big enough for a person to pass through. Then I sent the Knights through the gap, trapping them inside the cage. Finally, I closed the gap I created.
“The rest of you, please stay in the cage.” (Yuna)
I said, which seed to have pissed off the rest of the Knights.
One of the Knights drew his sword.
There were five of them left.
“Will you…” (Yuna)
“Surround her.” (Captain)
The five of them moved to surround .
“Do you know that we are fairy Knights?” (Captain)
“Yes, I know. But do you think this is the right way to harness the power of fairies?” (Yuna)
I couldn’t be harsh with my words on the Knights. After all, I was also taking advantage of the power of a God.
Hearing my words, the Knights suddenly got angry.
People get angry when they are told the truth, huh?
The captain-looking knight giving the orders was the one person I needed to watch out for in this situation. His judgnt and skill were a step ahead of the other Knights.
The Knights kept their distance from and waited for the right mont to attack.
The captain’s face drooped a little. He then gave the signal.
The Knights surrounding moved, but I moved one step faster than them. I ran towards the man who seed to be the captain.
One of the Knights tried to intercept with his sword. I successfully dodged his attack, but he quickly slashed again.
He reacted quickly.
But I parried the sword with the black bear knife I took out of my bear box. Just as I was about to strike him, another Knight attacked from behind. Perhaps it was because of the power of fairies enhancing their abilities, making everyone move fast.
But I was faster. I created a wall behind my back with earth magic.
The captain in front of looked astonished.
There was no ti to play around. I stepped forward and hit him in the stomach with a Bear-san uppercut from bottom to top.
His face contorted in pain as he was sent flying upward. He fell on top of the Bear Cage. I then opened the ceiling of the cage, making him fall inside the cage.
I was holding back so he didn’t fall from a very high place, but it was still a good amount of distance, so he should be suffering a concussion.
After falling to the ground, the captain was in pain and could not get up.
The remaining four Knights watched the scene in dismay.
“Captain!” (Knight ???)
What was there to worry about the captain?
Even if they possessed the power of fairies, their ability to act and judge the situation was still lower than that of the captain.
Simply put, even if they have gained power, they have not changed. Their added power was simply like pearls to a swine.
If you gain power, you must make the effort to learn to fully master it.
After losing their captain, the remaining four Knights attacked without any coordination.
I easily knocked them out and locked the remaining Knights in the Bear Cage one by one.
“Alright, done.” (Yuna)
I clapped my Bear-san puppets as if to brush the dust off my hands.
They were not weak, but they were utterly unskilled.
“What are you?” (Captain)
A Knight shouted from the gap in the Bear Cage.
“I’m just here to get the Fairy back.” (Yuna)
Ronne may not be mine, but she was Prim’s family. So I was not wrong.
“Lady Ronne…” (Captain)
“Don’t be silly, Ronne-sama is the one who gave us our power.” (Knight ???)
“You can’t take her away from us.” (Knight ???)
“Ronne-sama is ours to protect.” (Knight ???)
Was it possible that they adore Ronne?
“No, she’s not yours. She’s my sister!” (Prim)
I wondered when she approached us… Prim also showed herself to the Knights trapped in the Bear Cage and yelled at them.
“A Fairy?” (Captain)
The noisy Knights grew silent the mont they saw Prim.
“I’m going to bring my sister back, I promise.” (Prim)
“Ronne-sama said she has nowhere to go.” (Captain)
“She was taken hostage by a man called the Lord of this town.” (Prim)
Ronne told us that she didn’t want to follow us, but I naturally wouldn’t ntion that.
If I told them, we would be in trouble.
“The lord of this town…” (Captain)
“So, I will definitely bring my sister back. She’s an important mber of my family.” (Prim)
“Family…” (Captain)
“I’m sorry to interrupt, but do you know where Ronne is in the mansion?” (Yuna)
“…” (Captain)
“”…”” (Knights)
The Knights exchanged glances.
“No, we don’t know. We only see her once in a while. Besides, the Lords won’t let see her on our own.”
I guess we have to bring Noa with us, after all.
I wouldn’t have to take Noa with if I had information on Ronne’s whereabouts.
“It can’t be helped then. You’re going to have to stay in there for a while. I’ll let you out when everything is over.” (Yuna)
“Who the heck are you, girl? Why did you have to beat us?” (Knight ???))
“I’m an adventurer who this fairy asked to rescue her sister.” (Yuna)
“An adventurer… How did you manage to beat us?” (Knight ???)
“You are asking how I beat you? Simple, even if the help of a fairy boosted your power, that didn’t an your basic skills were improved. The only one who was decent was that Knight over there.” (Yuna)
I turned to look at the Knight, who seed to be their captain.
I wondered if he was sitting because he was in pain from being knocked to the ground.
“Although you gained power, your actions and judgnt are still below par. It’s a sign of laziness.” (Yuna)
The knights fell silent.
“And I’m sorry. Can you toss out your weapons? I don’t want you to attack after I let you go. Or do you want to burn you?” (Yuna)
I created a fireball and threatened them.
I didn’t want them to attack after I let them go.
The Knights looked at their captain.
“…Okay.” (Captain)
The one who looked like the captain tossed his sword through the gap between the bears.
Then, the other knights threw theirs as well.
Now, they should not be able to attack us even if I release them later.
After capturing the knights, I called Noa, and she hugged .
“What’s wrong?” (Yuna)
“I was scared, it made think that if sothing happened to Yuna-san, I couldn’t do anything to help and would only be a burden.” (Noa)
“You know how strong I am, don’t you?” (Yuna)
“Yes, but that doesn’t change the fact that you were in a dangerous situation” (Noa)
“Thank you for your concern.” (Yuna)
I pat Noa’s head gently.
“Then let’s go find Ronne.” (Yuna)
“Yes!” (Noa)
“”Kuu~n””
“Sister, I’m on my way!” (Prim)
We started walking towards the mansion.
“But, will we still be going undercover, even though the knights here have already discovered us?” (Noa)
“Even if they did encounter us, it’s not like the Lord or Ronne saw us.” (Yuna)
“Is that how it works?” (Prim)
There have been gas in which we have to infiltrate and kill enemies from behind to reach our destination.
The core tactic behind those gas was that even if you were discovered, you simply needed to prevent those who saw you from telling others about you.
Those Knights in the cage couldn’t escape, so they should not be able to report us to their Lord.
The only way we could fail in sneaking in would be if the knights assigned to the city ground or those who went outside the town ca back and discovered the trapped knights.
Currently, the Guild Master and the others were making a scene to attract the knights who were inside the town. On the other hand, those who went outside the city should have no way of knowing what was happening in town.
“And, look, if Ronne finds out we’re here, she might show up on her own. If she doesn’t show up, we can just let Noa do her best.” (Yuna)
“I’m worried that Yuna-san will ruin the strategy that the Guild Master and the others have worked so hard to co up with.” (Noa)
I felt like I was being told sothing terrible.
“Yuna, Noa, co on, let’s go!” (Prim)
I ignored what Noa said and followed Prim.
