Bear-san Reports

"Yuna-chan! Yuna-chan! Wake up!"

"So noisy."

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and raised my body.

"You finally got up."

Rurina looked at me through the small window.
I straightened my back and stretched.

"You were sleeping while I was working hard. That's not fair."

"That's because skinning is Rurina-san's job. Are you done?"

"I'm done. I was so surprised when I walked out of the cave and saw a house. When I peeked inside it, I saw you sleeping. There is no door, so I couldn't get in."

I opened the wall with magic and walked out.
When I looked up at the sky, I could see that it had passed noon.
About 3:00 p.m.?

"There were so many goblins. It was really tiring, since Yuna-chan didn't help."

I ignored the complaining and changed the topic.

"Is there anything else we need in the cave?"

"No, there isn't."

"Then I will close the entrance, since it would be troublesome if other monsters started living there."

I blocked the entrance using Earth magic.
Any chance of other monsters settling in the cave is gone.

"Then, let's go back."

"I'm tired though..."

"It's okay, I will carry you."

I don't intend on returning leisurely.

"Yuna-chan...you don't mean..."

"The road is bad because it's a mountain, so don't talk."

I smiled.
I went down the mountain while holding Rurina, who had a face of defeat.
Jump! Jump! Jump!
Every time I jumped, Rurina screamed.
Screams are loud when they come from right next to your ears.
I ignored the screaming and continued running.
When we arrived near the entrance to the village, I let Rurina down and walked towards the gatekeeper.
Rurina's legs look wobbly. I wonder if it's just my imagination?
We greeted the gatekeeper and headed towards the mayor's house.

"Umm, you came back quickly. Was it impossible after all?"

"No, it's done."

"Say what?"

"The goblin subjugation request is finished."

"These are the Goblins' magic stones."

Rurina took out a leather bag from her item bag.
She untied it and showed the mayor the contents.
It's probably the magic stones.
I definitely won't look.
I don't want to see blood-covered magic stones.
I'll lose my appetite if I look.
It would be alright if they were cleaned with water, but I don't think there was any water in that cave.

"Oo, then you were able to subjugate the goblins. But, isn't there too many?"

"Because there were 100 of them."

"100!?"

The mayor was surprised.
Well, of course you would be surprised if so many goblins had lived near your village.

"Please rest assured. All of them were defeated. We also blocked the cave that the goblins were living in, so I don't think any new demons will settle nearby."

"Th, thank you very much."

The mayor lowered his head.

"Then, I will prepare an inn for you to stay in."
