Bear-san, Settling the Battle

*Rosa PoV*

We dismounted from our horses, climbed over the collapsed fence, and rushed over to Swaying Bear-chan and the others.

“Primme-chan!” (Rosa)

“Uh, Rosa and Blitz?” (Primme)

Primme-chan noticed us.

“What’s going on? Who is that man?” (Rosa)

I approached the man lying on the ground.

He was emaciated and bleeding from the chest.

A knife was lying on the ground nearby.

“Did you do this?” (Rosa)

I asked the knight.

“It’s my knife, but Ryan-san stabbed himself.” (Knight)

“It’s true. It wasn’t him.” (Maid)

The maid said as she, too, defended the man.

I asked Primme-chan for a brief update on the situation.

Yuna and the team had successfully met with Primme’s sister, Ronne.

Then, they met Ronne’s partner, Ryan.

Next, Bellung, the Lord, found out that Yuna-chan is Primme-chan’s partner and decides to fight Yuna-chan to get Primme-chan for himself.

While Yuna-chan and Bellung were fighting, the Knight and Maid brought Ryan, who just woke up from a coma in the basement, to here.

And that Ryan stabbed himself with a knife in the chest.

That Lord Bellung went crazy and Ronne fainted.

Ronne was now on Swaying Bear-chan’s back.

Before we started listening to Primme-chan’s story, Blitz had already begun treating the collapsed man named Ryan. While Blitz was treating the man, he noticed various patterns painted on his body.

I think these were the magic circles that Primme-Chan was talking about.

“Blitz, what is his condition...” (Rosa)

Blitz shook his head as he said, “Barely alive, but it’s only a matter of time.”

We recalled the state of the town.

We could not afford to help others right now.

There was also nothing we could do for Ryan.

I looked around me. One person who went with them to the mansion was not here.

“Primme-chan, I don’t see Noa-chan.” (Rosa)

“That’s because...” (Primme)

“Kuh-uh.”

Swaying Bear-chan squealed at Primme-chan.

“I know. Well, Noa is in a safe place, so don’t worry about her.” (Primme)

“Are you sure?” (Rosa)

“Yes, she’s in a safe place.” (Primme)

If she said so, then I would stop worrying about Noa-chan. We must take care of our current problems one at a time.

“For now, let’s get away from here.” (Rosa)

Behind me, two people were fighting.

A gust of wind was blowing. It would be dangerous to stay here.

“Kuh~n.”

Hugging Bear approached and crouched down next to the fallen man.

“You want me to put him on your back?” (Rosa)

“Kuhn.”

It was not a good idea to move Ryan, but that didn’t mean we could just let him lie here like that.

If I become hesitant, not only myself but also my friends would be in danger. I would betray the trust of those who asked me to protect them.

A senior adventurer told me that if I was hesitant, I would end up dead. And he informed me that if I didn’t want to die, I should be prepared to kill.

They asked me not to think about those I killed, but to look at the faces of those I protected at the time.

The people I saved and the people I protected thanked me.

Their words of gratitude and smiles saved me.

“If one continues to be an adventurer, one day they will definitely run into such a situation.”

“That’s true. But Yuna-chan is still a child, right?”

A girl dressed as a cute bear.

A strong, young girl, despite her appearance.

A girl who could defeat strong monsters single-handedly.

Stronger than me and Blitz.

But she was a 15-year-old girl.

When I was 15, I was learning magic, and that was when I defeated a wolf for the first time.

I still remember the fear I felt then.

“Then it’s the role of a senior adventurer to help her, right?”

“Yes, if there is a senior adventurer close by who can take over for her, they should.”

Blitz and I walked over to where the two of them were fighting.

*Yuna’s PoV*

The bear’s wind magic hit Bellung, who blocked it with a similar wind magic. I expected him to block it. While he was distracted by the magic, I turned around and kicked Bellung in the face.

Bellung was knocked down.

If I release the bear magic directly...

A moment’s hesitation delayed my action.

Bellung immediately got up and attacked.

No matter how much I hit or kicked him, he never lost consciousness. An average human would have been finished off with a single blow of my attacks.

I thought I would have to break his arms and legs to stop him, but his magic power reinforced him, and it was as if I were punching a lump of rubber.

I created a tornado around Bellung.

Bellung’s body was shredded by the tornado, sending blood everywhere.

To counter my attack, Bellung’s magic power accumulated once more, creating a powerful wind around him, erasing my tornado.

Furthermore, the wounds on his body healed.

A half-hearted attack forced Bellung to use his magic power, causing Ronne to suffer. The citizens of this town also continued to be drained of their magic power as well.

I decided not to think about it.

I punched and kicked Bellung, sending him flying backwards. I released the bear’s wind magic at the right moment.

Bellung’s right arm, which was holding the sword, flew off with a spray of blood.

For the first time, I cut a person’s arm. My heart was shaken.

But Bellung never stopped. He extended his other arm and produced a whirlpool of flame.

I blew away Bellung’s flames with wind magic and clenched my mithril knife. Then I started running towards Bellung, and went around him from a blind spot where his arm was missing.

I gripped the mithril knife tightly and thrust it toward Bellung’s chest.

Plunging this knife into his heart would end it.

However, before I extended my arm to stab the knife into Bellung’s body, a sword came out from Bellung’s chest.

The magic stone in Bellung’s chest broke, and he coughed up blood.

“...Blitz?” (Yuna)

It was Blitz who stabbed the sword through Bellung’s back.

“Yuna, I’m sorry. For taking the best part...” (Blitz)

Blitz’s words made me understand why he did so.

Bellung fell to the ground after being stabbed in the chest with the sword.

When I looked around, I saw that Rosa-san was also present.

I didn’t even notice that Blitz and Rosa-san were there.
