Chapter 409 - Bear-san, Doing The Best To Save Fina. (1/2)
Chapter 409 Bear-san, Doing The Best To Save Fina.
I never thought I’d have to fight myself.
The first match was a one-on-one match against a golem hardened by magic.
The second battle was against the five armored knights. A battle against multiple opponents.
The third battle was with a monitor lizard. A large monster.
The fourth one was unexpectedly against a copy of myself based on the first three fights.
But what is the final trial? I can’t imagine, but I hope it’s not going to be another big monster. And I don’t want another Fake-me to appear. If a red bear, a blue bear, a yellow bear, a green bear, a black bear, a white bear, or some kind of Bear Rangers appear, then I might use magic and go on a rampage.
[Missy, are you okay?] Rojina
As I’m imagining strange things, Rojina-san calls out to me.
[Yeah, I’m okay. That last one seems like a copy of me from the last three trials or something, so if I beat it with more power than that, there would be no problem.] Yuna
[Does that mean you weren’t even serious when you killed that big lizard?] Rojina
[Well, I mean…….] Yuna
While I was having a hard time explaining it, the ground in the back of the room started to glow. It seems the fifth and final battle is about to begin. There seemed to be another magic circle on the ground, it was glowing in a circular shape, then a pale white wall appeared. Is this white wall the next trial?
It’s a wall that looks like it was made by magic. I touch it with my bear puppet. I can’t tell how thin or thick the wall is. But my body can’t get through.
As I touch the wall, I go around it to check its size. The wall is about the size of a four and a half tatami mat. When I took a closer look at the wall, I can see a wall beyond the pale white wall, and there’s another wall behind it.
One, two, three, four, five. I don’t know for sure. Maybe there are five walls. It’s a five-layered barrier, I think.
Do I have to break down these five walls?
[Rojina-san, do I have to break this?] Yuna
[Yeah, break it down with the weapon you’re holding and you’re done. But remember, it’s not just a wall. You’ll have to use all of your power, and the power of that knife you’re holding, to cut it down.] Guildmaster
Guildmaster answered instead of Rojina-san. The final trial seems to be easy. I was expecting a much more vicious opponent, but it was a much easier trial than I expected.
Is this purely a test of the weapon and my power?
Well, as long as the Bear Rangers doesn’t appear, I’ll take it.
I was about to move away from the wall, within range of the knife, the ground inside the wall moved. When I looked closely, it looks like a person has fallen. That person was moving slowly.
[……Where am I?]
A familiar voice comes from within the walls.
I approached the thin, glowing, white wall. I can’t make it out clearly because of the pale wall of magical power, but it’s an outline I know very well and a voice I know too well.
[Fina?] Yuna
Fina is inside the wall.
[Yuna-oneesan?] Fina
I knew it! It’s Fina!
[Yuna-oneechan! Where am I? And what is this wall?] Fina
[We’re inside the Gate of Trials. Do you know how you got there, Fina?] Yuna
[Well, I was with Ruimin-san a while ago…… and then, ugh, I can’t remember.] Fina
Fina is holding her head in her hands. She doesn’t seem to know why she is here.
But how did Fina got here? And what about Ruimin who was with her, is she okay?
The only thing I can think of is magic, forced transference, but how is that even possible?
It might be possible that I could do it with a year’s worth of magic training.
[Yuna-oneesan. Why am I here?] Fina
[I think, maybe, you got involved in my trial.] Yuna
[The trial?…..] Fina
Fina, who is inside the wall, stood up and touched the wall.
Her voice sounded anxious.
[Yeah, Fina showed up during the last trial.] Yuna
[I see… But how do I get out of here?] Fina
Fina wandered around while touching the wall, looking for a way out, but she didn’t seem to find one. I, too, circled the wall, but could not find a way out. The only thing I can think of is that this is a test and I’m supposed to break down the magical wall to save Fina.
I look at the wall made of magical power.
The wall seemed to be a pale white wall and Fina’s figure could be seen faintly behind the wall.
There is an easy way to rescue Fina.
[Rojina-san, if I use magic, the trial will end, right?] Yuna
[Yeah, the trial will end, but you won’t clear it. You are free to decide what you want to do, Missy. So as long as there is no danger, you are free to try whatever you want.] Rojina
[Is this a trial, Yuna-oneesan?] Fina
[It looks like the point of the trial is to save Fina from this wall. But magic is forbidden, so as soon as I hit the wall with my magic, the trial will end and the wall will be gone.] Yuna
That is the fastest way to get Fina out of there.
I don’t have to go along with this incomprehensible farce.
[Yuna-oneesan, I’ll be okay, so try your best. Yuna-oneesan, you can do it!] Fina
[Fina…….] Yuna
[It doesn’t look like there’s any danger and I don’t want to get in your way. Yuna-oneesan, I’m happy to help.] Fina
[Are you sure?] Yuna
[Yes, I believe in you, Yuna-oneesan.] Fina
I thought about it and decided to accept Fina’s feelings gratefully.
[Okay. I’ll get through the trials and help Fina out. Just give me a minute.] Yuna
[Yes!] Fina
[Well then, step a little further away from the wall.] Yuna
After making sure that Fina was far from the wall, I grabbed my Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear Knives. Then I swung them left and right with magic power. The first wall broke. I took a step closer to Fina.
[Yuna-oneesan.] Fina
