385 Bear-san Comes to the Elf Village (1/2)
[Even so, Fina knew about Bear-san’s gate.] Ruimin
[I didn’t even think Ruimin-san knew about Bear-san’s gate either.] Fina
[Only Fina’s family and Ruimin’s family knew about it.] Yuna
Not the whole family though, only two relatives each. Come to think of it, both of them are in a similar environment.
[But I didn’t think I would have to do the laughter of hell magic contract the moment I found out about Bear-san’s gate.] Ruimin
[Magic contract?] Fina
[Yeah, if I try to tell Yuna-san’s secret to others, I will suffer an endless laugh. It’s painful to the point where I can’t even breathe.] Ruimin
Ruimin laughs and makes a painful expression.
I saw Sanya-san and Mumroot-san laughing, but their expressions seemed like they swallowed a bitter bug even though they were smiling. What’s so funny about that? I can think of some reasons for someone to laugh, like laughing when you hear a funny story, laughing when your body was being tickled, and eating laughing mushrooms, but which one was it?
[To begin with, it wasn’t me who said it, but Ruimin’s grandfather who proposed to make a laughter hell contract. It was a contract that will make you laugh to death.] Yuna
[But if she talked about it to anyone, it’ll be a laughing hell, right?] Fina
[If she didn’t, then it’s okay.] Yuna
It’s okay if she doesn’t try to tell the secret of my bear panties to others like some elf. I have to make her take the secret of bear panties to her grave.
[How much does Fina-chan know about Yuna-san?] Ruimin
[Maybe Ruimin knows what Fina already knows. On the contrary, there are many things Fina knows that Ruimin doesn’t.] Yuna
[But, if I talk about it to Ruimin-san, will I experience a laughing hell too?] Fina
[Fina, you don’t have a contract, so you’ll be fine.] Yuna
[That’s good then.] Fina
Fina has a look of relief.
[So then, Fina-chan knows about the bear phone too, right?] Ruimin
Ruimin took the bear phone out of her pocket. Then, Fina followed suit and took out her bear phone in the same fashion.
[Yuna-oneesan. Can I talk to Ruimin-san and Shuri with this bear phone?] Fina
Fina looks at Ruimin’s bear phone and her own bear phone.
By the way, I had never experimented with it. Until recently, only Fina and Ruimin had bear phones. Moreover, they didn’t know each other, so they never tried it.
However, when I gave one to Shuri, it became three. Also, Fina and Ruimin got to know each other. Using her bear phone, Fina can actually talk to Shuri and Ruimin.
However, talking about the bear gate is a delicate topic.
[I haven’t tried it before, so how about trying it later?] Yuna
Fina gladly holds her bear phone close to her chest.
[That’s fine and all, but we will arrive at the village soon, so try it later.] Yuna
[Then, Fina-chan. Let’s try it later.] Ruimin
[It’s okay to test it, but do it without anyone around.] Yuna
[[Yes!]]
When we arrive at the elf village, the passersby are greeting us, maybe they remember me. About a month ago, the barriers were weakening and they were worried about monsters, but now, they have bright expressions. It’s such a peaceful sight to behold.
[Yuna-oneesan, are all the people here elves?] Fina
Fina is looking around strangely.
Many people have long ears and green hair, which are common characteristics of elves. Of course, there are elves with different colored hair, but a lot of them have green hair.
[Is it unusual for Fina-chan to see an elf?] Ruimin
Fina shakes her head to Ruimin’s question.
[The guild master of the Adventurer’s Guild in the Royal City is an elf. I also see some in the city and the Adventurer’s Guild, but I’ve never seen this many in a single place.] Fina
That would be Sanya-san.
[Sanya-san is Ruimin’s older sister.] Yuna
[Really!?] Fina
Fina is surprised at the fact that Ruimin and Sanya-san are sisters.
[I also just found out the other day. She knows Fina-chan and your sister.] Ruimin
[Yes, I met her several times. She’s a beautiful person, isn’t she?] Fina
Ruimin was happy when her sister Sanya-san was praised. I think Ruimin will become a beautiful woman herself in the future.
Then, when we got to the square near the center of the village, we can see the children playing. When the children discovered me, they ran up to me.
[It’s a bear~]
[It’s Bear-san~]
[It’s Ruimin-oneechan]
The elven children were making a fuss and began surrounding us. Before I realized it, many children were gathered around me.
[Everyone, don’t bother Yuna-san. She won’t be able to walk properly.] Ruimin
[Eh~]
The children were pulling my arms and clothes.
[To grandpa… You all made a promise to him a long time ago, right?] Ruimin
Ruimin looks like an older sister watching over the younger children. Then, after the children replied , they left.
I was saved because they couldn’t disclose the details about me. But it seems that the words of Mumroot-san, as the chief, have a lot of weight.
[Thank you, Ruimin, but you also do seem to be an older sister.] Yuna
[Because I am an older sister.] Ruimin
Ruimin looks proud.
As the children moved away from us, someone called out from elsewhere.
