Chapter 235 – Bear-san Forms A Magical Contrac (1/2)
t
The next day, I headed straight to Mumuroot-san’s house, and was met by Ruimin waiting at the entrance.
「Yuna-san, Grandpa and Sanya are already waiting for you inside.」
「And why are you here, Ruimin?」
「They told me that they have something important to talk to you about and that I have to make sure nobody enters the house. They even kicked Grandma out.」
It seemed like they really made sure that nobody would bother us as we perform the contract.
I headed straight to the usual room, where only Mumuroot-san and Sanya-san were waiting for me.
「We’ve been waiting for you, Yuna-chan.」
「All the preparations are already complete.」
There was some kind of green gemstone, possibly a magic stone, in front of Mumuroot-san. It was quite big, similar to the size of the Kraken’s magic stone.
What kind of monster had they defeated to acquire a stone of this size?
Had it been something on the level of a Kraken?
Lost in thought, I sat down in front of Mumuroot-san.
「This magic stone contains a magic script within. All you need to do is pour some of your magic power into it and say the contract terms out loud.」
The process was simpler than I had thought it would be.
I would love to have such a useful magic stone for myself.
Would it be possible if I used a magic stone of my own?
Or, was this some secret art that was passed down by the elves?
「So, what is your request Yuna-chan?」
Initially, I had been planning on telling them about the Bear Gate, but after having a night to think about it, I had come up with something else.
「I want you to keep quiet about my secrets.」
「Your secrets?」
「Mhm.」
「That’s rather vague…」
「Well, I do plan on adding secrets in over time, is that okay?」
「Yes, that would be okay, as long as the secrets are related to your current ones.」
Anything was possible in a fantasy world, wasn’t it?
I shouldn’t really be saying that when I could be called the embodiment of fantasy myself.
「The only secret of yours that I know of is your Bear-san Panties.」
「That one is also going to be included, by the way.」
I said, giving Sanya-san a glare.
「Wait, Yuna-chan, if your request is only related to your secrets, wouldn’t it be better to just not tell us?」
「I have considered that, but if I don’t do something about it now, it will become a problem later on.」
「Hmm, I guess that could make sense. Anyway, we just can’t tell anyone else, right?」
Well, if they tried to tell anybody, they would fall into laughing hell, so it was up to them.
「Okay, everything seems to be in order.」
「Um, is this okay?」
I asked, flapping my Bear Puppet’s mouths.
「I’ve never tried this with gloves on, but as long as you can put your magical energy into the stone, there shouldn’t be any problems, I think.」
I placed my Bear Puppets on top of the green magic stone, followed by Mumuroot-san and Sanya-san placing their hands on top of mine.
「Pour in your magic and say the conditions of the contract.」
I poured in a bit of my magic and stated the conditions.
「Do not disclose my secrets to anyone else.」
The magic stone suddenly shone brightly, covering the room in a green light so blinding that it was impossible for us keep our eyes open.
I closed my eyes but managed not to remove my hands from the stone.
In only a moment, the light was gone. Wow, it had surprised me so much that I had almost let go of the stone.
Was the contract complete with this, or was there something else?
「That light was amazing.」
「I have never seen anything like it. It is said that the brightness represents the importance of the contract, and this contract gave off a light much stronger than any other I’ve seen before. That shows how important your secrets are, young lady.」
It seemed like Mumuroot-san and Sanya-san hadn’t expected for the light to be that strong.
Was this contract really that important, though? They said that the brightness depended on the significance of the contract, but…
Then again, my secrets included me being from another world, information about God, and functionality of my Bear Suit. There were also plenty of other things I didn’t plan on sharing.
All of that must have affected the contract, raising its significance.
「We completed the contract safely. Now, we need to confirm it works.」
「Confirm it really works?」
「Young lady, don’t you want to make sure the contract works as intended? I must admit, I am also curious about the laughing part.」
「How do we confirm it, though? Just by having you two talk to each other?」
「If we both know the contents, then it won’t be considered a secret…」
Mumuroot-san said, shaking his head, and a moment later, we heard some running footsteps.
「Grandpa! Onee-chan! What was that light just now?」
Ruimin rushed into the room.
「I saw a strong light shining through the windows.」
Ruimin said and looked around restlessly.
It seemed like the light from earlier could be seen from the outside.
「Everything’s okay. We just completed a magical contract with the young lady.」
「A magical contract with Yuna-san?」
「That’s right. Yuna-chan wanted us not to reveal her secrets to anybody.」
「Yuna-san’s secrets…」
She looked at me like she wanted to know as well.
While I was thinking yesterday, I thought about telling Ruimin some of my secrets. Just to make things easier later on.
「Come here, Ruimin.」
Sanya-san called Ruimin over.
「Um, what is it?」
「I’m going to try and tell you one of Yuna-chan’s secrets, so we need you to stay for a bit.」
「It will be an important discussion, so make sure nobody else walks in.」
「That too, but the main reason is to confirm that the contract is working.」
It looked like Ruimin was going to be used to test out the contract.
