But the first man didn't use violence. There wasn't even a sign of using it. He just complained a little.

"This small thing has a bizarre personality."

"You’re the one who did something wrong. Apologize."

At the second man's word, the first man grumbled, "Father."

Apparently, they’re related, a father-son relationship to be exact.

'So are they considered as the big bear and little bear?'

I looked up at the big bear. Thanks to the removal of illusion magic, I was able to see his real face.

The small bear has black hair and unusual golden eyes, whereas the big bear has ordinary brown hair and eyes. Except for different hair and eye colors, the little bear looked just like the big bear when he was 15 years old.
(T/N: in case you guys are confused, first man= little bear= the son; second man= big bear= the father)

“What did I do wrong?”

"You can't touch people without getting permission."

“But she is the one who attacked father!”

"Still..."

The little bear looked dissatisfied but when the big bear gazed at him gently, he sighed and whispered to me, "Sorry."

I was surprised and blinked for a moment. The little bear’s eyes have a displeased emotion but have no choice but to apologize.

'It's not like he has a bad personality. And also… I think he looks young.'

At first, I thought that he’s already an adult because his face looks like a 20-year-old man. Besides, he also has a deep voice. However, observing the way he speaks and his eyes, I guess he’s in his late teens or even younger.

Then, I spat it out, "You, how owf awe you?" (You, how old are you?)

My pronunciation wasn’t that good. It’s expected given my upper and lower anterior teeth are missing and my tongue’s not yet developed fully; of course, I can't articulate normally.
But the little bear burst out laughing.

“Hey, you’re so cute! Say it again. how owf am I?”

I glared with strength in my eyes.

“Are you glaring at me right now? That expression is also cute! Father, look! She is so adorable!”

The big bear stared at me, his expressionless eyes are slightly widened and both ends of the lips, which were firmly closed, are slightly raised. Very stealthy.

'Don't tell me, that’s his smile?'

As if answering my question, "Wow! Father laughed!” the little bear cried.

I shook my head, "Why did you bwing me hewe?" I asked the little bear.

"Bwing me hewe! She said bwing me hewe!" The little bear's golden eyes sparkled again.

"Awe you going to keep teawsing my pwonunciaswion?" (Are you going to keep teasing my pronunciation?)

"AHAHAHAHAHA!"

I'm really getting annoyed.

"Hey! How owd awe you exawy? You awso wook young. Why dow you keep on teawsing me?" (Hey! How old are you exactly? You also look young. Why do you keep on teasing me?)

"Its, it's really interesting! Ah, it's too funny my stomach hurts HAHAHAHA!"

I trembled in anger and looked at the big bear. Surprisingly, both ends of his lips were turned up. Just my luck, the big bear noticed that I’m upset and reprimanded the little bear.
