Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 156

Now then, what should we do?
Grandfather and grandmother look motivated.
Well, the number of people surrounding the carriage is only ten.
Us against them… frankly said, it will be easy.
I'm sure grandfather could handle it alone.

Well, the idiots unaware of the circ.u.mstances are raising their voices.

"Hey! Come out already! Maybe you are too scared to come out~~."

Ah, grandfather put his hand on his sword… Allen-kun is swinging his arms.
Ange-san took out the rod which she always carries concealed, grandmother… seems to just be observing.
Sasuke-san is well, sitting normally.
Noticing my gaze, he said a few words.

"The curtain, hasn't, rose yet, right? It's, a waste, to prepare."

Well, he's got a point.
I think I'll join, my body has grown dull recently.
As we were about to alight the carriage, suddenly the surroundings became noisy.
Wondering what happened, we got off in hurry.

When we jumped out of carriage, what appeared in front of us was… a bear?
No, the face is unusually covered with hair, his whole body is dirty, but it's probably a person.
This bear… No, this person is hurling away the idiots who surrounded the carriage.
He seems immensely powerful, the idiots are flying far away.
For humans to be flying like that~~.

The bear… Ah, is it already settled he's a bear in my mind?
The bear is rampaging, after blowing away all the idiots, he came here.
Although he beat the idiots, is he really a friend?

"Any injuries?"

As I thought, the bear is a person who can talk.
Moreover, he has profusely good voice.
Going by his voice alone, he'd be quite a handsome guy.

"Yeah, we're alright. Thank you very much for pa.s.sing by."

Grandmother thanked the bear.
In contrast, the bear… is obviously agitated by seeing grandfather who's next to grandmother.
He dropped all the baggage in his hands and even though he's trying to say something, words don't come out, he's just groaning like "Aaah" or "Ughh".
Perhaps he knows grandfather and grandmother?
Of course, they are aware of the situation, it seems they're waiting for the bear to calm down.

Then, the bear who finally regained composure kneeled in front of grandfather and grandmother and lowered his head.
Ah~~, the bear is probably a person from the Northern Country.

"It, it's been a long time. To, to meet you in such a place… uncle, aunt."

Wow, he's unexpectedly a relative!
That's to say, he's a son of the granduncle. The bear is.
No, in that case, it's Bear-sama.
Grandfather and grandmother also seem surprised by Bear-sama's words.

"Hm? Are you Lute? … Your atmosphere is completely different, I haven't recognized you."

"Yeah, really. I wonder if it's been ten years since we last met."

Apparently Bear-sama is called Lute.
It seems his appearance changed over last ten years, he bearified.

"However, why are you here, uncle, aunt?"

"Ara? Haven't you heard from Lucian? I informed him via letter, I came to show my granddaughter the Northern Country."

"… Nothing from father… What I mean is, I haven't been home for a month. Because there have been a lot of sightings of aggressive bears and wolf packs in the mountains recently, I've been exterminating them. When I thought of going home soon, I noticed a bunch of idiots surrounding a carriage, so I hurled them away. If I knew uncle and aunt were there, I wouldn't have interfered."

Bear-sama was fighting with real bears.
While I was looking at Bear-sama, our eyes met.
His face is covered with hair, but his eyes are exquisite.

"Err, Lute, this girl is my granddaughter, Lillina."

As grandmother introduced me to Bear-sama, I went before him to give a greeting.

"Nice to meet you Be… no, Lute-sama. I'm Lillina."

Bear-sama opened his eyes wide at my greeting.
And he fell down with a great momentum.
E, I wonder if he's a l, little injured…
I wonder if he noticed my expression, as Bear-sama apologized in panic.

"Ah, no, Lillinsama, you haven't said anything wrong. It's true I've been wandering around mountains for a month, and… I realize my appearance and smell must be unpleasant… I'm sorry for dampening your mood."

Bear-sama's appearance shrank while apologizing.
Somehow, it's slightly cute.

"No, it's alright. It's been a hard month, hasn't it? Thank you very much for coming to help us. Also, please don't attach sama to my name. Please call me Lillina."

For me Bear-sama is… What will he be?
Uncle? That's not right… But I wonder if I should consider him a relative whom I call an uncle?

"For now, since we're here we'll be going to Lucian-dono's mansion. Lute, you should come along."

Bear-sama shook his head in response to grandfather's words.

"No, I can't come along with such an appearance. It's fine, I'll run there. Well then, see you later."

As he said that, he ran off with an amazing energy.
Wow, he's fast.
