Chapter 702

Bear-san Meets with Lord

“I will not allow you to kill him.” (???)

“My Lord...why...” (Cyrus)

The knight died before he even heard the answer.

Yes, he was dead.

It was not pleasant to watch someone dying in front of your eyes.

Unlike the corpses of monsters and animals, it evoked a different emotion.

“What happened, Swaying Bear-chan, Hugging Bear-chan, please move aside. I can’t see.” (Noa)

Noa tried her best to look at the knight, but Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear blocked her.

It seemed that they understood my intention. I was glad that Noa didn’t have to witness the moment when a person was killed.

Seeing the moment someone was killed was different from seeing a dead body.

But I didn’t even notice this guy approaching us.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear didn’t warn me about him either, and when I looked at them, they looked apologetic.

Ronne jumped out from behind Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“Bellung!” (Ronne)

Ronne came up beside me, shouting the man’s name.

Bellung...this man was the Lord of this town, the one who tried to make Ronne his own.

He was the main culprit, the reason so many people were suffering.

Such a man was right in front of me.

“Wasn’t that Knight a Knight in your service?” (Yuna)

I turned to the slain knight.

“I don’t consider him my Knight when he tries to kill my dear friend. He is my enemy.” (Bellung)

“Don’t be ridiculous, you call Ryan your dear friend, yet you did this to him.” (Ronne)

“Ryan is just doing his best as my best friend, which is to keep showing me fairies.” (Bellung)

“That is not something a best friend would do. You didn’t even consider his feelings when you did this to him.” (Ronne)

Actually, if I considered someone a friend, I wouldn’t directly mention our relationship (as friends) or brag about it (the friendship). I was not one to express my emotions regarding such topics directly.

If it was not for me being awkward about these things, I would not have trouble making friends.

“He brought Ronne to me, we studied fairies together, and he gave me his magic power. What would you call that if not friendship?” (Bellung)

When he said so, I couldn’t retort anything in return.

Ryan brought Ronne to the Lord of his own volition, and together they studied fairies, and according to Ronne’s story, Ryan even offered him his magic power of his own volition.

“But he wouldn’t have expected you to keep him sleeping in a place like this to drain his magic power.” (Ronne)

I agree with Ronne’s statement, and I never would ever think of doing something so horrible.

Some people might give their lives for the sake of their family, friends, and loved ones. But no one would agree to give their magic power to another person until they were bedridden just to show them a fairy.

“You have never even talked to him about this, what do you know about his feelings regarding this? Perhaps it is his intention to continue to give me his magic power, you know? Well, that time would probably never come. After all, these magic circles are supposed to last for a lifetime.” (Bellung)

A lifetime... that would mean that Bellung didn’t wish for Ryan to wake up at all.

There was certainly no way for us to confirm Ryan’s will currently.

Dead men tell no tales. Ryan is still alive, but since he couldn’t speak, it was basically the same thing as being as good as dead.

For years, Ronne, Ronne’s partner, and the residents of this town suffered because of a man who was willing to do anything to achieve his selfish motives.

It just made me furious.

“So, here’s another question for you, who are you people? What are you doing in a place like this?” (Bellung)

“We are here to rescue Ronne from you.” (Yuna)

“I don’t think I will allow you to do that.” (Bellung)

The man’s face warped at my words.

Ronne lied, trying to protect her sister and her fairy friends.

If this man knew about the fairy forest, he would definitely bring a lot of trouble.

“Well then, that sister of yours, Primme-san, right? Shall we hear what she has to say about this? Where did you come from? Are there many more of your fellow fairies out there?” (Bellung)

“Hmph! Who’s going to talk to you?” (Primme)

“So you don’t care about what happens to your partner?” (Bellung)

The man now looked at me.

“What’s going to happen?” (Primme)

“You don’t have to tell us that.” (Yuna)

The guy looked at the sleeping Ryan.

“You think you can do it...” (Yuna)

“I think so, but...” (Bellung)

I wonder.

Well, that knight under him certainly looked strong, if only from his point of view.

Even if Bellung hadn’t seen my match with that Knight, he should have at least witnessed the final stage of the match.

And yet, he was still looking so composed.

“It seems that you are quite a skilled fighter, far from how you appear, so let’s fight, though I will definitely win.” (Bellung)

He said as he looked at the Knight he had killed.

“If I win, you will stay here with the fairy for the rest of your life. If I lose, I will release Ronne.” (Bellung)

“Do you expect me to believe such a promise?” (Yuna)

“If you don’t believe me, all you have to do is beat me.” (Bellung)

The man then rolled up his clothes at his chest.

“...a magic stone.” (Yuna)

What came out from under the rolled-up clothes was a magic stone embedded in his body.

Then, just like the man who was lying down, there was a magic circle also etched on his body.

“If you win against me and break this magic stone, the supply of magic from him will stop. That means you will be able to take him and Ronne away.” (Bellung)

If the man was saying was true, I could take Ronne and Ryan out of this place if I won the battle and destroyed the magic stone.

“Don’t fight, Primme, it’s not too late. Run away with your partner.” (Ronne)

“...Sister.” (Primme)

“You can run away, Ronne’s sister, but I won’t let that bear lady go.” (Bellung)

“Kuh...” (Primme)

“Because with your partner’s magic power, I will be able to find you, no matter where you go. If you could stay with us, I would be pleased.” (Bellung)

Ronne did mention that he could locate Ronne by tracing her magic power.

So that means if I was ever captured and studied, he would be able to find Primme’s location.

“Well, what do we do now? Bear lady.” (Bellung)

“That’s obvious. I’m going to beat you to a pulp and get Ronne out of here.” (Yuna)

I pointed my Bear-san puppet at the man.

“Then let’s go outside. It’s too small for both of us here. Besides, we’d both be in trouble if anything happened to him.” (Bellung)

He said so as he looked at the sleeping man. Unlike the Knight who was killed, this man would be more annoying in many ways.

But I see no reason to refuse the proposal.

Even if this man could fight me at his full power, I could also fight him at my full power.

So I accepted the man’s proposal.

“Okay.” (Yuna)

The man smiled at my words and walked silently up the stairs.
