Bear-san, Gives Fina’s Present, Dezerto City Edition 4

We went around the city and came back to Karina’s house. Mumroot-san had already returned to the house. When I asked him where he had been, he said, “I went to see an old friend”.

I kind of got the idea, so I didn’t pry into it any further.

Then Mumroot-san said he wanted to say hello to Karina’s mother, Ristil-san, so we all went to see her.

There’s a baby in Ristil-san’s room.

A small, adorable baby.

I opened and closed the bear puppet’s mouth in front of the baby. The baby laughed and reached out to me.

“He’s laughing.” (Ruimin)

“Yuna-oneesan, he seems to be looking at you, isn’t he?” (Fina)

Just as Fina said, I feel like he’s looking at me. As I moved around, his eyes followed me.

“As expected, he’s looking at you, Yuna-oneesan.” (Fina)

The baby laughed when the bear puppet’s mouth flapped in front of the baby’s eyes.

When I tried to leave, his expression began to change.

“Ah, I think he’s going to cry.” (Fina)

“Cho~”

I frantically went back and started to cajole him to laugh by flipping the bear puppet’s mouth.

“It seems that he likes you, Yuna-san.” (Ruimin)

I think he liked the bear puppet more than me.

“But if Yuna-san leaves, It’ll be troublesome if he starts crying.” (Ruimin)

“It’s okay. I’ll take care of him.” (Ristil)

Ristil-san says so, but I’d feel sorry if he cried.

However, if he’s reacting to the bears, I have a workaround for that.

I took out a stuffed Swaying Bear from the bear box and placed it in front of the baby, and the baby reacted to the stuffed Swaying Bear.

“He’s looking at Bear-san.” (Ruimin)

I was right. The baby reaches for the stuffed bear with his tinyl hands. The baby looks happy when I hand him the stuffed bear.

And even when I left the room, his interest was glued to the stuffed Swaying Bear, and he no longer cried.

“It looks like he’s going to like bears just as much as I do.” (Karina)

Karina pokes the cheek of the baby who is hugging the bear stuffed animal.

Also, I put a Hugging Bear stuffed animal next to the baby. Because it feels sad to have only one.

Ristil-san looked apologetic, but I had more in stock and gave it as a gift to celebrate the baby’s birth.

We then talked with Ristil-san until it was time for dinner.

She then thanked me for bringing Mumroot-san here.

There’s yellow soup lining up on the table.

Rasa-san made curry.

“It’s a bit spicy, but it’s delicious.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin puts curry on bread and eats it with relish.

“Indeed. In the village, we don’t eat spicy food like this very often, so it’s very exquisite.” (Mumroot)

“I’m glad to hear you say that.” (Balima)

Both Fina and Shuri enjoyed the food, partly because it was a bit less spicy.

“Mumroot-sama, what kind of people were Cyan-sama and Quat-sama?” (Karina)

“I’d like to ask you about that too.” (Ristil)

Karina and Ristil-san ask Mumroot-san.

“Cyan and Quat? Cyan was a dynamic woman. She was good at handling magic. However, she had the personality of poking her nose into anything she was interested in. She was the one who suggested that we attack the pyramid. Quat was always backing her up, partly because he liked her.” (Mumroot)

I guess it’s called blinded by love.

“And we were able to go deep into the labyrinth of the pyramids with such an enthusiastic Cyan at the center.” (Mumroot)

“That’s amazing! To get to the deepest part of that labyrinth without a map or the crystal plate.” (Karina)

“It was Cyan who found the crystal plate. I have fond memories of how everyone panicked when Cyan suddenly touched it, even though there were so many traps around it.” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san said with a laugh, but it would indeed be a problem if that was a trap.

“So then, Cyan-sama became the administrator of the crystal plate?” (Karina)

“I remember there was a water magic stone. Didn’t you think of taking it home with you?” (Ristil)

Normally, one would consider taking the large magic stone as a treasure.

“I don’t remember the exact wording, but it said that a lake would form if you activated the water magic stone. And so, “A lake in the desert?” Cyan laughed and then exclaimed, “It would be great to have a lake in the desert.” And with that comment, she decided to activate the magic stone without taking it.” (Mumroot)

Somehow, she seemed like an interesting person.

“And we went outside the pyramid, witnessing water gushing out into the desert. Cyan said, “It’s a good thing we didn’t take it.” I can’t believe Cyan was right.” (Mumroot)

This town exists thanks to Cyan-san. It’s like listening to history, and it’s interesting.

“Then Cyan, knowing that she was the only one who could handle the crystal plate, decided to stay. Quat, who was fond of her, also decided to stay.” (Mumroot)

After that, they helped people live there for a while, but with Cyan-san and Quat-san’s words, Mumroot-san left the lake city.

“Mumroot-sama, thank you so much for sharing your story with us. It was a pleasure to hear about those two.” (Ristil)

“No, it is I who have no words to express my gratitude to you, the descendants who have inherited their will and protected this city. Thank you.” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san bows his head.

“Please, raise your head. We are just doing our part. We will continue to do so.” (Ristil)

Mumroot-san looks happy at Ristil-san’s words. It was supposed to be a birthday present for Fina, but I’m really glad I brought him along.

“And so, I have a favor to ask of you.” (Mumroot)

“What would that be?” (Ristil)

“Could you take me to the pyramid? I want to see inside for the first time in a while.” (Mumroot)

“Sure, no problem.” (Ristil)

“Mother, Father, please let me show them around.” (Karina)

Karina raised her hand.

“I’ve been there many times already, so I can guide them.” (Karina)

Balima-san and Ristil-san looked at each other and nodded.

“Then we’re counting on you, Karina, to guide Mumroot-sama.” (Balima)

“Yes. Please leave it to me.” (Karina)

Ano, what is this pyramid you’ve been talking about for a while now?” (Ruimin)

Ruimin asks.

“Did you see the big triangular-shaped thing when you were coming into town?” (Karina)

Karina asks back.

Oh, right. When I first came here, I saw the pyramids. But this time, we used the bear gate to enter the city, so we didn’t see the pyramids.

“Ah, that’s because Ruimin, Fina, and Shuri were sleeping on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear when we arrived in the city.” (Yuna)

Even Fina and Shuri pretended they were asleep so as not to say anything strange. Fina covered Shuri’s mouth, then Fina and Ruimin also quickly interjected, “Yes, I was asleep” and “I was asleep, so I didn’t notice”. Seeing them like that, Mumroot-san smiled.

“Ah, that’s right. It feels good on top of Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan.” (Karina)

Then Ruimin and Shuri also said they wanted to see the pyramids. I said no, because of the crystal plate and other secret things, but Balima-san gave them permission because they were related to me and Mumroot-san.

Is that alright?

Maybe that’s how much he trusts me and Mumroot-san.

And at the end of the meal, Rasa-san served us a pudding made from Kamor eggs.

It seemed to be creative and very tasty.

After the meal, we take a bath and go to the room where we will stay the night.

There are five beds in the room. Apparently, Karina asked to sleep in the same room.

Fufu, Swaying Bear-chan, Hugging Bear-chan, it’s been a long time.” (Karina)

I promised Karina that I would bring out Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear for her. Karina petted the regular-sized Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear and she looked happy to see them again after a long time.

“The stuffed animals are nice, but I think the real Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan are still the best.” (Karina)

I gave Karina a pair of stuffed animals the last time I visited her so she would not be lonely when Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear left. She seems to be taking good care of them.

And that night, Karina asked about Crimonia and the elven village, and Fina and her friends answered happily.

“Everyone’s gone to bed.” (Yuna)

“Yes.” (Fina)

Except for Fina and me, the other three fell asleep hugging Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. I carried them one by one to the bed and put them to sleep.

“Fina, are you having fun?” (Yuna)

“Yes. I am having a lot of fun. I didn’t think I could experience so much in a few days. Thank you, Yuna-oneesan, for bringing me here.” (Fina)

There’s no hint of lying or faking in Fina’s expression. She thanked me from the bottom of her heart.

“Since I met you, Yuna-oneesan, I’ve had so many happy things happen to me that sometimes I think I’m dreaming. My Mom is healthy, Shuri is smiling, and Uncle Gentz is now my Dad.” (Fina)

“It’s not a dream. And there are many more fun things to come.” (Yuna)

“Thank you, Yuna-oneesan.” (Fina)

“Fufu, I’m glad I got to meet you too, Fina. Thank you.” (Fina)

We smiled at each other.

“We still have a lot of places to go, so let’s have fun.” (Yuna)

“Yes!” (Fina)

After that, Fina and I fell asleep while chatting on the bed.
