Fleeting

ADLT 596.2

...At this point, I was a little scared of not having Rir around.

If he were here, his wild instincts would have helped us sense danger better than I could, which would have made us a little safer.

More than anything, it definitely would make me feel a lot safer.

If Enne was my weapon, Rir was my buddy. My true fighting skills were at their best when these two were together. 2025-05-25 06:20:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Velmore Forest Ruins (4)

We were fascinated by the scenery around us for a while, and after that, the Sheep Horn Clan members looked very curious about what was to come, but since quite a bit of time had passed, we decided to call it a day for today's investigation.

Sheep Horn Clan members kept asking with smiles, "How about we start investigating early tomorrow?" 2025-05-25 06:19:27 +0000 UTC View Post

Bear-san, After the Battle with the Ice Dragon

Two Ice Dragons descended.

Kagali-san and I didn't know what was going on, so we made sure we could take action no matter what.

The old Ice Dragon descended to the ground and looked at the frozen Ice Dragon.

"It seems like he doesn't have enough experience to lose to a human." (Ice Dragon)

The way she ...

Bear-san Fighting the Ice Dragon Part 3

Instead of me, Kagali-san was swallowed by the Ice Dragon's cold air.

It was because of my mistake that Kagali-san died.

A drunken little girl…

She was someone who would fight alongside me even in times of danger.

…Someone who would give me advice when I was in trouble.

"Kagali-san!"

I rolled ...

Well, it felt as if it was normal to ask Sakuya for directions, but my child really wanted to go down one of the paths when we arrived at a fork in the road.

When I talked to Shii, she said that they ended up in the garden after following Sakuya's instructions, so I think Sakuya really did have some kind of radar-like ability.

--This space was probably another plane...

"Have you seen what's ahead?" (Yuki)

"No, not yet. From what I measured, the increase in magic power was showing abnormal values. There's definitely something going on... but well, it's more like a demon or a snake." (Eldogalia)

"So it's time for me and Enne to take action." (Yuki)

"Ah, please." (Eldogalia)

As for Sakuya... was it too late now to turn ba...

Velmore Forest Ruins (3)

After killing the Blade Wyvern, I flew around the area for a while, taking all the safety measures I could.

I had limited myself to monsters that were strong enough and close to the research base, but I still ended up hunting a fair number of them. It seemed that the other monsters also sensed my rampage as all signs of life disappeared from...

"I'm good at flying too. Want a flying contest!?" (Yuki)

"Vororo!?"

I grabbed its legs and flapped my wings with all my might, hovering in the air.

The power of the Blade Wyvern's wings and my three pairs of wings were counterbalanced, so it couldn't fly up into the sky.

No... my wings were slightly stronger.

"Owwww!"

I pulled it down with a ...

ADLT 594.2

It should be a harsh place for humans to live, but there were ruins like this in such a place.

No, it should be the opposite. It was probably because the ruins were here that this unexplored land was born.

"Is this also a place where one of the gods died... What do you think, Enne?" (Yuki)

"...It's possible. Somehow, this place feels similar to the Demon Fores...

The next day.

After getting ready for the morning, we met up with Eldogalia-sensei and Emyu and headed straight to the ruins.

As expected, the first place we went to was the several empty rooms that had been discovered.

They were located in what was probably the front of the building, but...

Bear-san Fighting the Ice Dragon Part 2

Our battle with the Ice Dragon began in earnest.

I sent back Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear just in case.

The Ice Dragon, perhaps because it knew it could withstand my flames, descended to the ground.

Then it roared, threatening.

The air shook, stirring up fear.

A normal person would have stood there, un...

"When will the Ice Dragon come? Will it come tomorrow?" (Yuna)

It was still past noon.

It would be fine if it came today.

But please I would not want it to arrive at night when I was sleeping.

There was nothing more annoying than being disturbed while I was sleeping. I did not trigger a flag, right?

Bear-san Talking to Lize-san

If I defeated the new Ice Dragon, everything would be over.

But I had to fight it.

"So, is that Ice Dragon going to come back?" (Yuna)

If it didn't come back, there was no way for me to defeat it.

"He will surely come back because he wants my power. Also, he will try to get revenge on you." (Ice Dragon)

Well, he w...

Bear-san Barges In

As we got closer to where the Ice Dragons were, a cold wind flew to us.

"Are you okay, Kagali-san?" (Yuna)

"I'm fine. It seems like they're enemies." (Kagali)

Kagali-san and I looked down on the Ice Dragons from high ground.

The Ice Dragons were spitting out something like a blizzard from their mouths, creating a terrible situati...

Bear-san, Retracing Steps

"So, where are you planning to put that gate?" (Kagali)

While I was thinking, Kagali-san asked me.

"Well, I'd like to put it somewhere that's not conspicuous." (Yuna)

"Considering the power of the Ice Dragon, and we don't know what might happen to the town, it would be better to put it somewhere far from the town." (Kagali)

KKKB 780

Bear-san Talked to the Ice Dragon Again

The reason why the Ice Dragon remained in this place was simple.

Because there was an egg.

"Ice Dragon was probably wary of people because they might steal it." (Kagali)

"What would you even do with a dragon egg?" (Yuna)

I doubt it could be eaten, right?

"I don't know the details, but I've heard they're...

I was not particularly knowledgeable about such things, but this research base had a modern feel that reminded me of my past life.

One could get a sense of the high level of technology possessed by the Sheep Horn Clan from this.

And when we actually landed nearby, we could see just how huge the Velmore Forest Ruins were.

I thought it was huge from the air, but...

Velmore Forest Ruins (1)

A few days later, we were rocked on the airship, while somehow managing to appease Sakuya whenever he had a tantrum.

"Wow..." (Yuki)

We could see its grandeur clearly from the sky.

--A huge ruin, carved out of the deep wilderness, towering over us.

The shape was basically a pyramid.

There were several box-like and oth...

ADLT 592.2

It seemed that research into the Age of the Gods was that important to them.

That said, it was probably Eldogalia-san who guessed that the ruins were a place connected to the Age of the Gods, so this trend was most likely quite recent.

Incidentally, apart from Enne, there was not a single child of Emyuu's age aboard the airship.

I had heard that she was very t...

To the Mysterious Ruins

As we spent our days leisurely in the dungeon, Illuna and the others informed us that the date had been decided.

We also prepared for the day, and the day finally arrived.

"Huh? You've decided to bring your son too?" (Emyuu)

"Ah, it's been a while. Sakuya, say hello!" (Yuki)

"Uh, ah!" (Sakuya)

"Wow, cute, you said hell...

Bear-san, Heading for the Summit

To meet the Ice Dragon, Kagali-san and I were riding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, heading for the top of the mountain.

"I thought the same thing in the battle against the giant serpent, but you're too soft-hearted to risk your life for someone else." (Kagali)

"Kagali-san has been protecting the Land of Wa for hundreds of year...

Bear-san Helped Shovel Snow

The next morning, I was woken up by Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

It seemed that no monsters had appeared.

I checked with my detection skill and found an Ice Golem just at the edge of my detection range.

Considering that anything could happen later, it might be better to take care of it as well.

Looking at the sleeping ...

Bear-san Tells a Secret

Kagali-san and I looked at the Ice Dragon as it flew away.

"Kagali-san, what do you think about what the Ice Dragon said?" (Yuna)

"If it's true, it means that there was a person whose magic power was similar to yours. Personally, I can't imagine that there is such a person, no, never mind." (Kagali)

No, I didn't believe it either....

"We've arrived! Thanks for your hard work, Koumei-san!"

After stretching her body, Emma hopped out of the carriage in high spirits and trotted toward Koumei.

After Emma, Huey, a ninja boy from the slums, poked his head out of the carriage and ...

Joshua's Blunder [Part 1]

The hell that seemed to go on forever suddenly came to an end. Joanna and her subordinates felt dazed in the darkness after repeatedly going in and out of consciousness. Then, in that state, they spotted a faint light. It was the light coming through the skylight, which felt pretty nostalgic to them at this point. The carriage had been moved from...

Emma's beloved tailless whip scorpions could enter the carriage. The carriage the magicians were in belonged to the Rothschild Company, and it was of the same model as the one the tailless whip scorpions rode in Imperial Japan. After all, they had lived in it for two months during their stay in Imperial Japan, so for the tailless whip scorpions, o...
