Bear-san and the Ice Dragon Part Ways

After finishing our talk with the Ice Dragon, Kagali-san and I returned to Lize-san and the others.

“Yuna-san, Kagali-chan…” (Lize)

Lize-san and the others rushed over to us, as if they were worried about us.

I told them that Ice Dragon’s baby had been born and that they would be leaving tomorrow.

“Really!?” (Lize)

“It’s been a long time.” (Bollard)

I didn’t know when Ice Dragon’s baby would be born, or when Ice Dragon would be leaving.

But when Lize-san and the others found out that the baby had been born and that the dragons would be leaving tomorrow, they were even happier than yesterday.

“When I first saw her, I thought she was just a strangely dressed young lady.” (Lize)

“She was dressed as a bear. I was surprised when a girl dressed as a bear came out from a bear shaped house.” (Bollard)

It appeared that my bear costume would be considered strange, no matter where I go.

I think Kagali-san’s traditional Japanese clothes were also rare, but my bear costume was even rarer.

“Yuna-san and Kagali-chan, will you really be going home this time?” (Lize)

“We will be going home after we see the Ice Dragon leave.” (Yuna)

I was thinking that I should at least wait until I saw the Ice Dragon leave before I go back so that I wouldn’t worry about it after.

After discussion with Kagali-san, we decided to defeat the remaining Ice Golems to avoid potential issues.

Kagali-san and I split up and rode Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to defeat the Ice Golems.

Fire really was the best against ice.

The Ice Golems melted easily.

It was good that Fire Element was effective.

After defeating all the Ice Golems, when I returned, the fisherman Baran-san had caught some fish for us and treated us well.

I didn’t know what kind of fish it was, but it was delicious.

While eating, one of the old men commented, “If we had some alcohol, it would have been great,” and Kagali-san took out some alcohol from her item bag and served it to everyone.

Then, Kagali-san joined in and tried to drink, but I stopped her.

Kagali-san looked at me with a resentful expression, but I had no choice.

I couldn’t have her drink alcohol in front of everyone while looking like a little girl.

Seeing me stop Kagali-san who was about to drink alcohol, Lize-san said, “That was a joke, right?”

“It was a joke.” (Yuna)

“But she looked really disappointed.” (Lize)

Recently, Kagali-san had refrained from drinking alcohol in preparation for the Ice Dragon’s arrival, so maybe she really wanted to drink.

“But why did Kagali-chan have alcohol?” (Lize)

Normally, children would not carry alcohol around, right?

I had some too, but it was only the kind I used for cooking.

So I made up a nice excuse, saying “Perhaps her parents asked her to go shopping.”

Lize-san didn’t seem to believe me, but she didn’t press any further.

Because I couldn’t tell the truth, that was just how it was.

And so the party went on late into the night.

The next morning, I was woken up by a slap.

I opened my eyes slightly and saw the Swaying Bear right in front of me.

I looked out the window and it was bright.

But I was still sleepy.

“Let me sleep a little longer.” (Yuna)

“Let me sleep a little longer too.” (Kagali)

Looking at the futon next to me, Kagali-san was being attacked by the Hugging Bear.

I was sleepy because I was chatting with Lize-san and the others until late last night.

This was also because Kagali-san was making everyone drink alcohol.

The old men made a fuss, and we ended up joining them.

So, we went to bed late and didn’t get enough sleep.

There was nothing dangerous happening now, so I think it was okay to oversleep a little.

I brushed off Swaying Bear’s small hand, and the moment I was about to close my eyes, there was a loud thud and the ground shook.

“What’s this!”

Kagali-san and I got up hastily.

At the same time, a shadow fell outside the window.

I opened the window and saw an Ice Dragon.

All my sleepiness disappeared instantly.

The Ice Dragon was holding a baby Ice Dragon in its mouth.

Maybe it had come to say goodbye.

“Are you leaving already?” (Yuna)

The Ice Dragon lowered the baby it was holding to the ground.

“Human children, I came to tell you that we are leaving. Also, go check out my nest on the mountaintop. There is something there.” (Ice Dragon)

“What?” (Yuna)

“I am Lieren.” (Lieren)

“Lieren? Is that your name? I am Yuna.” (Yuna)

“I am Kagali.” (Kagali)

“Human children. Yuna, Kagali, thank you for your care help.” (Lieren)

The Ice Dragon said what it wanted to say, then picked up her baby from the ground and spread her wings wide.

It looked like they were finally going to leave.

“Next time, don’t lay eggs in a place where people live.” (Yuna)

I hoped that no more people would become unhappy because of an accident like this.

Even if the Ice Dragon had no ill intentions, its existence was a nuisance to normal people.

Of course, the reverse was also true as humans also stepped into places where monsters, animals, and even plants grew.

Even if both sides had no ill intentions, sometimes they simply couldn’t coexist.

There was nothing we could do about it.

So it was best for both sides to stay away from each other.

I didn’t know whether the Ice Dragon heard me or not, but it looked like she nodded.

It spread its wings and took off.

Kagali-san and I looked at the Ice Dragon flying away from the window.

“I can’t believe it was the Ice Dragon Lieren.” (Kagali)

“You know about her?” (Yuna)

“You really don’t know anything.” (Kagali)

She said in shock.

“Well, I don’t want to hear that from someone who’s lived a hundred times longer than me.” (Yuna)

The longer you lived, the more knowledge you had.

There was even a phrase for it: Grandma’s wisdom.

Of course, I didn’t say the last part out loud because I didn’t want to die yet.

“So, is she famous?” (Yuna)

“She appears in legends from time to time. Think of her as something similar to Targui.” (Kagali)

If it was like that, even Fina and Shia might know about her.

“Now that I think about it, she asked us to visit her nest on the mountaintop.” (Yuna)

“There might be something there.” (Kagali)

“Maybe gold, silver, and treasures!” (Yuna)

I’d heard that dragons loved to collect treasures.

There might be a lot of gold, silver, and jewels in the nest.

Perhaps she was giving them to us as compensation for the trouble?

I was not interested in gold or jewels themselves, but I could make money by selling them.

I didn’t hate money.

No matter what I said, money was not a bad thing to have.

As I was looking happy, Kagali-san poured cold water on me.

“You… you know that there was only an egg there after Ice Dragon flew off to fight another Ice Dragon, right?” (Kagali)

Thinking back…

Although I didn’t look closely because I was busy fighting the new Ice Dragon, I didn’t remember there being any gold or silver treasures on the mountaintop.

If there were gold or silver treasures, it would have been noticeable.

“So what’s there?” (Yuna)

“We’ll find out once we go up there.” (Kagali)

Well, that was certainly true.

While I was talking to Kagali-san, I saw Lize-san outside.

Lize-san was walking slowly, looking in the direction the Ice Dragon had flown away.

“Lize-san!” (Yuna)

When I called her name, Lize-san turned around.

“Yuna-san, Kagali-chan!” (Lize)

Kagali-san and I got changed and went outside the Bear House.

“The Ice Dragon really left.” (Lize)

I couldn’t see the Ice Dragon anymore.

“It’s so far away now.” (Kagali)

“That’s right.” (Lize)

There was a person here with good eyesight.

I couldn’t see it.

My eyesight was 1.2, or rather, it should be better than that.

Well, considering that I played games and read manga, I think it was pretty good.

“This is all thanks to Yuna-san and Kagali-chan.” (Lize)

“We didn’t do anything. In any case, she was already planning to leave after the baby was born.” (Yuna)

However, the appearance of a new Ice Dragon was unexpected.

“But what happened so early in the morning?” (Yuna)

The sun had just risen.

“I woke up early since you told me yesterday that the Ice Dragon might be leaving today. So I came outside to look at the mountaintop, but I was surprised when I saw the Ice Dragon approach this place.” (Lize)

Apparently, she had seen the Ice Dragon when it came to visit my place.

“Then, it landed in front of Yuna-san’s house and talked to Yuna-san and Kagali-chan about something.” (Lize)

“She just came to tell us that they were leaving. And she also told us to visit her nest on the mountaintop.” (Yuna)

“The mountaintop? Is there something there?” (Lize)

“I don’t know, but it seems like there’s something in the Ice Dragon’s nest. I thought I’d go and see it later.” (Yuna)

“…If it’s not a bother, can I come with you?” (Lize)

The Ice Dragon was not there anymore, and we’d defeated the Ice Golems.

Even if the Ice Dragon was still around, she was not as bad as Ice Golems.

“I don’t mind.” (Yuna)

“Thank you. I’ll leave a note, so Father don’t worry.” (Lize)

“Leave a note? What are the others doing?” (Yuna)

“They’re still asleep. It seems like they drank too much.” (Lize)

Ah, it was because of the liquor Kagali-san gave them.

The old men drank a lot, probably because they were happy to have had a drink for the first time in a while.

Lize-san’s father drank as well.

“How pathetic. Being drowned by just that much alcohol.” (Kagali)

That being said, we were also sleeping until Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear woke us up. If the Ice Dragon hadn’t appeared, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear probably wouldn’t have woken us up, so we most likely would have slept the whole time as well.

“That’s part of why they ended up this way, but I think they were just happy and relieved to hear that the Ice Dragon was leaving. Until Yuna-san and Kagali-chan came here, I haven’t seen everyone looking so happy before.” (Lize)

“Well, I suppose, it couldn’t be helped. I’ll be leaving some more alcohol for everyone to enjoy later.” (Kagali)

“It’s not good to drink too much, so I’ll keep it under control, and don’t give it to the old folks.” (Lize)

She was still young, but she was strong.

I think that was because of how much she had struggled so far.

Lize-san went back to the mine to leave a note saying that she was going to the mountaintop with us.

“There’s no need to rush. We’ll head out after breakfast.” (Yuna)

I called out to Lize-san as she entered the mine entrance, and Kagali-san and I went into the Bear House and had a simple breakfast.

Then we cleaned up the Bear House, and Kagali-san, Lize-san and I climbed onto Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear and set off for the mountaintop.
