It was dark outside, and the light of the magic stone slightly illuminated the streets.

I was walking along the shore of the lake, holding Hugging Bear in my arms. The lake was dark, and the moonlight was the only thing illuminating the lake. The lake where the hot springs were located in the Land of Harmony was beautiful, but the lake in this town doesn’t lose to it.

A pleasant breeze was blowing.

“Hugging Bear, let’s go for a little stroll and then head back to the inn.” (Yuna)

'Ku~u 〜 n’

I decided to enjoy a nighttime walk on the lakeshore with Hugging Bear.

Because it was nighttime, there were no people around the lake.

I wonder if anyone likes to come to such a dark place. If they did, they might be couples or drunks.

The lake reminded me of the Land of Harmony and made me want to go to the hot springs. When I get to the inn, I might use the bear gate to go take a dip in the hot springs.

But since I left Swaying Bear behind, he would sulk.

I’ve asked Swaying Bear to escort Noa. I would feel sorry for him if I left him behind. When we return to Crimonia, we should all go together.

'Ku~u ~ n’

As I was thinking about the hot springs, Hugging Bear cried.

“What’s wrong? We’re going to the hot springs together with Swaying Bear.” (Yuna)

'Ku~u ~ n’

Hugging Bear shook his head and stretched out his right paw with all his might. I look in the direction pointed by his right paw.

A person?

I immediately thought of hiding Hugging Bear, but stopped myself. It was because the figure was dressed suspiciously. The figure was wearing a hood over his head to hide his face in spite of the heat.

I can’t really say that to others since I am usually dressed as a bear, but today I’m in uniform. So, that one was clearly suspicious.

Just in case, it’s better to hold Hugging Bear.

If we continue as is, we will approach the suspicious hooded person.

Hmmm, what should I do?

Should I proceed without concern, or should I call off the walk?

While I was wondering what to do, the hooded figure suddenly took something out of nowhere. It glows a little in the moonlight.

The figure reached out toward the lake.

The hood swayed.

Wind magic?

At that moment, I thought that the object in his hand flew toward the lake as if it were flying out of his hand.

My eyes followed the flying object.

Something flung out of the hooded figure’s hand and went far away, reflecting in the moonlight, and fell into the lake.

What did he shoot into the lake?

When I looked back at the hooded figure, He was already gone.

I wonder what that was?

I don’t think he was just throwing his trash.

He even went through the trouble of using wind magic to make it fly.

It bothers me. Even if I pretend I didn’t see it and go back to the inn, it’s a pattern that I can’t sleep because it’ll keep bugging me when I get back.
