Chapter 456

Bear-san, Listens To The Story Of The Past

“Even so, Mumroot. You’ve gotten old.” (Kagali)

“It’s been a long time since then. Generations of people have come and gone. If that much time had pa.s.sed, even elves would physically age. You, on the other hand, have not changed at all.” (Mumroot)

“Because I am young.” (Kagali)

Her large b.r.e.a.s.t.s jiggled like pudding.

“Anou, Kagali-san, you’re not an elf, are you?” (Ruimin)

Ruimin asked.

“I am a fox.” (Kagali)

After saying that, Kagali-san moves her ears and tail. Ruimin looked at it mysteriously.

“May I touch it?” (Ruimin)

“I wouldn’t let anyone touch it easily, but you’re Mumroot’s granddaughter, so you have special permission to touch them.” (Kagali)

“Thank you very much.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin looked happy, but Sakura and s.h.i.+n.o.bu looked surprised.

Unaware of their expressions, Ruimin started touching Kagali-san’s fox ears and tail.

“It’s so soft, fluffy, and comfortable.” (Ruimin)

“Because I’m taking good care of it.” (Kagali)

I want to touch them too.

As if they noticed my feelings, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear came rubbing themselves up against me from both sides.

Just as I want to touch her, they want me to feel them.

I took off the bear puppet and touched their bodies. They’re soft, fluffy, and comfortable.

“Thank you very much.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin was satisfied and left Kagali-san’s side.

“Ruimin-san is amazing. To ask such a thing from Kagari-sama.” (Sakura)

“Perhaps it’s not a big deal?” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

“That’s not the case, but I’m afraid that no one would ask Kagali-sama for that.” (Sakura)

“In the past, Sakura would have begged me to touch it.” (Kagali)

“That was when I was a little girl when I didn’t even know Kagali-sama very well.” (Sakura)

Am I the only one who still treats her as a child?

“I didn’t know that. I’m sorry I didn’t know anything about it.” (Ruimin)

“Fufu, I don’t mind” (Kagali)

Kagali-san smiled gently.

“Anyway, Mumroot. Put your face forward.” (Kagali)

“What is it?” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san put his face forward as Kagali-san told him to.

Kagali-san caressed his face, gently touching it.

Somehow it looks sensual.

But just as I thought of that, I heard a slapping sound in the room. It was Kagali-san slapping Mumroot-san on the cheek.

For a moment, Mumroot-san looked as if he didn’t know what had happened.

“How dare you leave the country without me? Do you know how difficult it was for me after that incident? No one else but me was honored as a hero for sealing the serpent.” (Kagali)

“Didn’t I say goodbye to you?” (Mumroot)

“You said, the night before I got the words of grat.i.tude from the king, you wouldn’t run away. I wasn’t supposed to go alone there.” (Kagali)

“We were whimsical adventurers back then. We consulted with everyone and decided to run away. So it’s not just me.” (Mumroot)

“So why didn’t you take me with you?” (Kagali)

“Kagali is a native of this land. Besides, you had something to protect here, didn’t you? So, after discussing it with everyone, we decided to slip away by ourselves. Even if we asked you, you would have refused anyway.” (Mumroot)

“……Yeah, but I wanted you to invite me.” (Kagali)

“I’m sorry” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san puts his hand on Kagali-san’s head, who’s looking down and muttering.

“But since you’re here, I forgive you.” (Kagali)

“I also wanted to see you.” (Mumroot)

The two looked at each other’s faces and smiled.

I will keep the fact that Mumroot-san forgot all about Kagali-san in the back of my mind. If I say such a thing, Kagali-san’s thunder will strike. I am a woman who can read the atmosphere. However, some women couldn’t.

“Are? Grandpa. You forgot about that earlier.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin, I know you don’t mean to offend, but please read the atmosphere.

I couldn’t make a follow-up, so Mumroot-san was beaten up by Kagali-san.

=====

“So, Kagali. I heard from Missy that Orochi will be resurrected soon, is that true?” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san asked while rubbing his reddened cheeks.

“Yeah, it is true, the magic circle you used for the seal is weakening, and soon the seal will be broken, and the serpent will return. You’ve helped us before, but I will trouble you again.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san bowed her head.

“Don’t say that. You’re one of us. We fought together. Since you’re in a place where no one can’t reach out, it can’t be helped. But thanks to Missy here, I can reach out to you like this.” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san takes Kagali-san’s hand.

“So that means you’ll help me.” (Kagali)

“And with Missy here, we can make it.” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san looked at me.

“Who is that girl dressed as a bear, by the way? This door, Sakura’s the light of hope, and she had brought you here when I thought I would never see you again.” (Kagali)

“She saved my home, the elven village. I know nothing about the door, and I couldn’t tell anyone about it. That was my promise to her.” (Mumroot)

“Well, then I shall not ask about the details. Let’s think of it as a miracle.” (Kagali)

“A miracle, indeed. I never thought I’d see you again.” (Mumroot)

They both looked at me.

“Let’s leave the matter about the serpent for later and start with my promise, Missy. So, Mumroot, let’s perform the magic contract, shall we?” (Kagali)

“It’s a magic contract with Missy.” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san unrolled a carpet from his item bag. A magic circle was drawn on it.

The magic circle on the carpet was convenient.

“Etto, will I die if I tell anyone about Yuna?” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

“It’s so painful; you’ll die laughing.” (Ruimin)

s.h.i.+n.o.bu asked Mumroot-san, who was getting things ready, but Ruimin, who was beside her, answered.

“Death by laughter?” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

“Yes, you will die of laughter. If you try to tell others about Yuna-san’s secret, you will laugh so hard like there’s no tomorrow, and if you still try, you will die.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin explained the word “die” in a cheerful voice, just like she did when I called her earlier.

“That’s a nasty way to die.” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

“Were you going to tell anyone, by any chance?” (Yuna)

I looked at s.h.i.+n.o.bu suspiciously.

“I don’t want to die, so I won’t talk about it. But is laughter so painful?” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

That can only be understood by those who have experienced and witnessed it.

“Well, Ruimin. Try telling my secret.” (Yuna)

“I don’t wanna.” (Ruimin)

When I asked her to do so, she refused without hesitation.

“Etto, Ruimin.” (Yuna)

“I wholeheartedly refuse. After seeing my sister in such pain, I don’t think I’ll try it.” (Ruimin)

Certainly, when Sanya-san tried to talk in the experiment, she was in extreme pain.

“Etto, is it that painful?” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

“My sister was in great pain when she tried to talk. No one would try to talk after seeing that.” (Ruimin)

“That much?” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

“That much.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin imitates s.h.i.+n.o.bu’s tone.

“I’m scared.” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu. Just don’t talk to anyone about it, and you’re good.” (Sakura)

“Yeah, as long as you don’t talk, there’s no problem.” (Kagali)

“Of course, I won’t tell anyone.” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

At Sakura and Kagali-san’s insistence, s.h.i.+n.o.bu promised to do the same.

“If so, there is no problem.” (Yuna)

“…That’s right.” (Sakura)

“By the way, you can’t write it down on paper or try to communicate it in any way at all.” (Yuna)

I gave her my advice.

Then, three contracts were made by Mumroot-san.

=====

“Now then, Mumroot. It’ll be faster if you look at the seal yourself, and I’ll also explain it to you as we walk. Follow me.” (Kagali)

We walked out of the building.

“Are we in the forest?” (Yuna)

Once we left the building, the immediate area around the building was cleared, but trees grew normally as we went further, making it look like a forest.

“This is the island where you sealed the serpent.” (Kagali)

“Well, then I guess we can minimize the damage if we use this place as a starting point and fight in large numbers.” (Mumroot)

“I’m sorry. But that’s not possible anymore.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san explained that she had put up a ward to prevent men from entering.

“Well, that’s why I’ve put up a new ward on top of the seal you made, so when you break the ward, the seal you put up will be broken along with it.” (Kagali)

“But if we’re going to fight, either way, why not just undo both wards?” (Mumroot)

“Because after the seal is lifted, the effect of men repellent will remain for a few days. If the serpent moves during that time, we will not be able to fight it here. If it heads for the city, the damage will be unimaginable.” (Kagali)

“So then why did you make such ward…” (Mumroot)

“Mumroot-sama, it is because of the thieves who come to this island.” (Sakura)

“Thieves? Just for that?” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san looked at Kagali-san for confirmation.

“……s.h.i.+n.o.bu, cover Sakura’s ears and move away for a little.” (Kagali)

“Haissu” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

“Eh? Kagali-sama? s.h.i.+n.o.bu, what are you doing?” (Sakura)

s.h.i.+n.o.bu pulled Sakura’s hand, moved away, and covered her ears as Kagali-san told her. After confirming this, Kagali-san opened her mouth.

“At the time, many people knew that I was on this island. And they thought she must be a gorgeous woman.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san strikes a s.e.xy pose.

Indeed, Kagali-san is a beautiful woman. She’s well proportioned and has a lot of curves. That’s me in a few years, by the way.

“There was a constant stream of them coming to the island late at night and coming to my bed.” (Kagali)

“You should have an escort.” (Mumroot)

“Of course, I was given an escort, but if that escort also join in the a.s.sault, you wouldn’t know who to trust.” (Kagali)

I remembered how she was dressed when I met Kagali-san for the first time. If she were to go out in front of a man in that disheveled outfit, it would seem as if she was trying to seduce him.

“But it wasn’t allowed at the time to keep men from entering the island for that reason alone.” (Kagali)

Well, if you think about it, she needs a man.

“But one thing led to another, and I got permission to put up the wards.” (Kagali)

“And that is?” (Mumroot)

“In the past, the king’s younger brother had committed treason. He was an unpopular and helpless man, but he had a strong ambition. He tried to kill his brother and made many other plans, but they failed.” (Kagali)

Oh, I knew that kind of history, such things can happen.

“So the stupid younger brother was guilty of treason and was sentenced to death. But what did he expect? The stupid younger brother tried to unseal the serpent and attempted to kill his brother along with the country’s destruction. But the men who agreed with his absurd plan arrived on the island and it was all messed up at that time.” (Kagali)

She talked about it as if it were a dark history.

Desperation, I guess. It’s the most troublesome aspect.

He’s probably saying, “If I’m going to die, I’m taking you down together with me.”

“That’s why I got permission from the king to build wards on the island to keep men out. In case the wards were broken, I made sure that they would remain in effect until I could re-erect them again.” (Kagali)

“But can only men do such things?” (Mumroot)

“Men and women have different magical powers, so that’s the judgment. Although, sometimes women have magical powers close to those of men, it doesn’t matter if they don’t enter this island.” (Kagali)

Indeed, if n.o.body enters the island, she won’t have any trouble in her life.

In the first place, Sakura said that Kagali-san’s caretakers only come to this island occasionally.

“So, what about the one that says only pure women can enter?” (Yuna)

“That’s appropriate, I just prevented adults from entering. That’s why the age varies, but basically, you can’t enter when you reach the age of 20.” (Kagali)

And that’s how her explanation about wards and seals goes.

“Is it okay to stop covering her ears now?” (s.h.i.+n.o.bu)

“Ah, yeah, it’s okay, because it wasn’t something I could tell to the children.” (Kagali)

With Kagali-san’s permission, s.h.i.+n.o.bu removed her hand from Sakura’s ear.

“U~u, what was that about? Why do you keep leaving me out?” (Sakura)

Well, you can’t talk to kids about night crawling.

If she asked, “What is night crawling?” There’s no way I’m explaining it.

“I’ll tell you when you’re older, so forgive me for now.” (Kagali)

“Is Yuna-sama okay for adult stuff?” (Sakura)

“Well, these three are just adults though.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san said while looking away slightly.

“U~u, that’s not fair.” (Sakura)

Sakura pouted her mouth and made a disappointed expression.

=====

Author’s Note:

This time, Sakura’s ears were properly covered, so she couldn’t hear what was being said.

At that time, Mumroot-san did not become a hero because he escaped.

He might be similar to Yuna in that regard.
