"Yes, Grandma Akara is wise, and I also feel that she is not an ordinary person." I quickly flattered her as an afterthought.
"Flattery, tell me, why does she look like she has a special status?" In response to my mindless agreement, Akala nodded her crutch with a smile and asked.
"This...that...right, can't we know just from the fact that she is the messenger of the Bear Clan? The Bear Clan, which has not appeared for thousands of years, came out to investigate for the first time. It is determined that they will not send a messenger. A nobody, right?" I racked my brains and finally came up with a good reason.
"Well, this is also one of them. Another thing is that we can also see clues based on the words and deeds of the bear girl you mentioned. The most important point is... Kane, come and tell my dear Wu Zhao Literacy."
At the end of the sentence, Akara regained her appetite and signaled to Kane next to her.
"The most important thing is that the bear girl's name is Tamoya."
"Is there anything strange about this name?" I tilted my head with a dull expression on my face, and question marks kept appearing on it.
"Yes, of course there is. The word [Tower] has a special meaning among the Bears. If the name contains the word [Tower], then you can be sure that this person has a high status in the Bears, or is extremely brave. , whose strength is recognized by the whole clan, or has a lofty status."
"I see, that means that the envoy of the Bear Clan is either extremely powerful and highly respected among the powerful Bear Clan, or he has a very high status, such as a princess, a princess or even a queen."
"Well, that's exactly the truth." The two old men nodded. It seemed that at the moment I didn't notice, the two old foxes suddenly communicated a lot, and then showed a weird smile that made me feel uncomfortable.
There is a conspiracy!
I shuddered and subconsciously took a few steps away from Akala and Kane, watching them warily.
"Dear Wu..."
"Wait, don't, no matter what crooked idea you are making, don't hit me on the head." I took a few steps back.
"How could it be? We didn't have any evil intentions." The smiles on the faces of the two old foxes became even brighter.
"real?"
"We can swear an oath."
"Okay..." I believed them for a while, but I just had to be more vigilant.
"Ahem, let's talk about the identity of that girl, Wu, you have the most contact with her, can you imagine what kind of person she is?" Akara asked, a little busy changing the topic. .
"Well, although it is true that I have been exposed to the most, it is only for a short time. It's really hard to say..."
I pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I feel like she is a determined, confident, and majestic girl. Judging from her aura, I am 99% sure that she must be a strong person." .”
In addition to the momentum, there is another reason I can't tell Akara and the others, and that is - that's Lord Mitsusaka Takei!
Continuing to recall, I continued: "As for status, although she does not have the obvious majestic and noble style of a king like Artoria, it is said that she is more like a leader... It is indeed appropriate, but in my opinion , her current aura is more like...well, a big sister."
"Sister?" Kane and Akara looked at each other, not understanding what I wanted to express.
"You mean she doesn't have the qualifications to be a mature leader yet?"
"No, no, actually. Strictly speaking, she has been able to maintain a calm and calm attitude even when she was summoned at such a bizarre time. This is already very valuable, and it is enough to prove that she has met the requirements of some excellent leaders. It's just that Well...it's just a personal feeling. My personal feeling is just like that little fox Lucia. Although she is the Sky Fox Saint of the Fox Tribe, she feels more like the eldest sister of Malagbi and the others to me. , this is a very subjective understanding, anyway, from my point of view, she is more like the leader of an organization with the banner of justice winning, punishing evil and eradicating evil, and it feels more appropriate."
I expressed all my vague feelings in my heart, regardless of whether these two old foxes could understand them or not, it had nothing to do with me anyway.
"This is really...should I say it is a very specific or very vague understanding?" After being stunned for a while, the two of them shook their heads at the same time and smiled bitterly.
"There is too little information now, so we don't need to make groundless guesses here. Wu, didn't you make an appointment with her the next day? Let's communicate in detail then. If the other party is willing, she might as well come to my place as a guest. I No one is welcome.”
"Let's talk about it then. Maybe as soon as the other party came out, he pointed at my nose and said to me, "You will never call me again, and we will see each other indefinitely."
I lowered my head in frustration, still mourning for the grizzly bear that was stillborn before leaving the country.
"Be strong. I don't think the other person is like this. Regardless of her character, I don't think she will do this just based on the paw print given by the Elufasia knight." Kane and Akara comforted her. I said.
"I hope so, my poor grizzly bear, alas~~~" With a helpless sigh, I left Akara's little black shop and returned home. The girls also treated me with all kinds of gentleness and comfort, but suddenly , I still can’t completely get over the mysterious disappearance of the grizzly bear.
From time to time I walked out of the house, looked up at the sun, and counted the time. When the day, which was listlessly exuding heat in the cold winter, rose directly above my head, I suddenly opened my eyes. Shoot out two rays of light.
It's time to let the other party know that Ben Druid is a man with a strong sense of time.
I strode to the lawn, raised my right hand high, and pressed it down hard.
Show up, Grizzly Bear... No, it's Emperor Wu!
The girls who heard the commotion came out of the house and looked at me suspiciously.
"Sir, what are you doing?" The cute and honest little dog Vilas asked, tilting his head with a naive look on his face.
"Fulfill your promise as a man." I looked up at the sky solemnly.
"Promise?" The girls were even more confused.
"Didn't I tell you? The better I get with that bear girl, I'll summon her back the next day." I looked at them in confusion. Logically speaking, the girls' memories wouldn't be that bad. That's right.
Then, everyone froze together, leaving only the sound of gusts of wind, carrying fallen leaves and grass blowing by, making it extremely noisy.
"Big...brother, do you know what [the next day] means?" Sarah smiled reluctantly.
"Of course I know, doesn't it mean [the next day]?"
Girls: "..."
I:"……"
"Wait... wait, maybe I understand it wrong."
"If it is according to ordinary people's understanding, the next day should be the third day." Princess Sanwu used an emotionless voice and expression and gave me a sharp arrow to pierce my heart.
"Actually...that's how it was calculated?!" I was shocked.
"It's not good, I have to cancel the summoning quickly, cancel it..." I was in a hurry and just interrupted the summoning magic circle, but at this moment, the light suddenly flashed and the magic circle was completed.
In the white light, a figure emerged from nowhere and appeared in the center of the magic circle.
Lord Wu Di, who was still sitting in a sitting position with a bowl in his hands, closed her eyes lightly and took a sip of soup. Her movements were indescribably graceful and beautiful. She suddenly noticed something and looked around. , finally his eyes fell on me, his head tilted slightly, showing confusion.
I can only say one thing about this.
"Really! Very! Yes! No!" I almost bowed to the ground, and I kept bending down to apologize without tears.
but……
Wearing casual home clothes, an apron tied outside the clothes, and waist-length silver-gray hair simply tied up behind his back, this is the first time I have seen Lord Wu in such an elegant way, referred to as Emperor Wu for short. , Long live, long live, Sajia's life is worth it, even if it gets slapped in the face, it doesn't matter.
"No need to apologize. I think this is more like a misunderstanding. Maybe your understanding of the next day is different from ours." Lord Wu Emperor smiled slightly and compassionately forgave my mistake.
No, no, no, everyone has the same understanding of the next day, just a little bit... ahem, how should I put it? Let's be careful. Even the most powerful scientists will make mistakes in small details. This is probably the truth.
"Actually, it just saves time. I have already figured out what happened last night." After a pause, Tamoya showed a serious look, which made it impossible for me to ask stupidly... What's the question?
"I'm sorry to bother you again." She nodded slightly in greeting to the girls. She turned around and showed a serious expression again, as if she had something important to say to me.
"Can... the two of us continue to talk?"
"Of course, please come this way."
After inviting Tamoya into my home again, this time she sat down in my room and was served tea by Princess Sanwu. In order to show my sincerity, I opened the soundproof barrier and made an invitation gesture.
Gently playing with the tea cup in her hand, Tamoya showed a demeanor as if she had finally made a decision after some very difficult considerations. She suddenly raised her head, staring at me with her beautiful dark blue eyes, and took a deep breath. said out loud.
"Lord Elufasia is the benefactor of our Ursine clan. You should have told you about this, right?" "Well, I told you that it was because I accidentally saved you once." I Nod.
"Actually, it's not just that. If it's this matter, it won't make our tribe so grateful. There's another thing that Lord Elufasia probably hasn't told you. Maybe with that Lord's character, she herself We forgot this kindness which is so important to us.”
"What's the matter?" When I heard this, I suddenly realized that such an Elufasi Loli dared to conceal the truth.
"I...feel the power of spirit bear fusion from you." Tamoya suddenly changed the topic and looked at me with a sharper gaze.
I was stunned for a moment, then looked surprised: "Can this be discovered?"
"Of course, the fusion of spirit bears is a top secret of our bear clan. To be precise, it should be a top secret shared by us and Master Elufasia."
"Appreciate further details."
So, Tamoya slowly talked about that period of history in a tone of admiration.
Why is Elufasia-chan called the ancestor of druids? Why does she have such a strong affinity and attraction for me? That's because Ursine Transformation is the ability created by Elfasia-chan.
The inspiration for Elufasia's creation of bear transformation and bear spirit fusion came from the bear clan. Naturally, these two skills were also shared by her and the bear clan. Because of the great significance of popularization, bear transformation soon became Integrated into the druid profession that is now known to the world.
As for bear spirit fusion, as the signature ability of Elufacia-chan, you can imagine how powerful it is. Naturally, it cannot be spread easily. Of course, there are only a few people who are qualified to learn it. According to Tamoya, they are the ones who Among the bear people, there are no more than a hundred people who are qualified to learn bear spirit fusion.
Logically speaking, the bear people should be the most suitable race in the world to learn bear spirit fusion. Even the number they can learn does not exceed three digits. These numerous restrictions destined that bear spirit fusion can only be regarded as a top secret of the bear people. A treasure passed down from generation to generation.
As for why I can learn it... it should be attributed to the personal training of Elufacia-chan. After all, she is the creator of bear spirit fusion. Her personal guidance is definitely hundreds of times better than other people's learning effect by looking at the secret book. , so even people like me have learned it, it must be like this, huh huh.
Back to the topic, having said that, it goes without saying that there is another favor that Tamoya mentioned just now that Elifasija did not tell me. It is the bear-man transformation and bear spirit fusion created by Elifasija-chan. , are the most suitable abilities for the Ursine clan. These two abilities have more than doubled the strength of the Ursine clan. This kindness is immeasurable.
"Of course, according to the legend passed down, Lady Eliphasia did not acknowledge this kindness. In her opinion, she got the inspiration for bear transformation and bear spirit fusion from us bears, so she reciprocated the favor and transferred this kindness to her. It is a matter of course that both abilities teach us.”
Finally, Tamoya added a strong touch of admiration to the glorious and selfless image of Elufasia-chan.
No, no, no, in fact, Elufasia Loli is really not a high-spirited person, so she said such words. She just didn’t want to care too much, or she felt very embarrassed to be worshiped like a savior by you bear people. Trouble, that's all.
After spending some time with that Bear Spirit Loli, I already knew a lot about her character. I kept shaking my head and complaining in my heart. Of course, I couldn't say this out loud, otherwise Emperor Wu would definitely fall out with me on the spot.
"Because of this, you gave this paw print as a token of your unforgettable kindness to Erufacia-chan... ahem, Erufacia-sama?"
"That's right." Tamoya nodded solemnly and said.
"This paw print already represents the existence of our supreme clan rules. The ancestors made an oath at the beginning. If it is Lord Elufasia, or a descendant recognized by Lord Elufasia, her inheritor, If you bring this paw print to us, the Bear Clan, for help, then, even at the risk of annihilation, we will do our best to help."
"Is...is that so? It's such a pity that I am not the inheritor of Lord Elufasia. I just met her once and got along with her for a while."
Listening to Tamoya's words, I suddenly felt that the paw prints in my hands became hot. This thing... is really not simple. That damn bear spirit Loli actually threw such a hot thing to me and even made The look of indifference made me really think that this was just a souvenir given to her by the Ursine tribe.
I feel like I went to the store to buy an ordinary switch and ended up buying the nuclear bomb button that the President of the United States carries with him. I feel Alexander.
Is it better to hand it over to the true inheritor of Erufasia-chan quickly and let the elves have a headache?
"No, since Master Elufasia taught you bear spirit fusion and gave you this paw print, it means that you have been recognized as her successor, at least as the successor of this paw print. You Already have full qualifications.”
At this time, Tamoya stubbornly broke my illusions, with a serious expression of "You must take all responsibilities."
Please, I'm just a handyman in the alliance. I really can't bear it, Lord Martial Emperor.
I looked at Tamoya with tears in my eyes. If I could turn back time, go back to that ice cave, and go back to the moment when Elufasia-chan casually threw the paw prints to me, I would definitely take out a baseball. Stick, hit the paw print with a home run, and let it disappear forever in the dust of history.
Of course, the prerequisite for doing this is to be shameless and ask Elufasia-chan for some souvenirs or something.
"This...this...well, anyway, I want to know what you are going to do now?" After sighing for a long time, I resigned myself to my fate and asked.
"This is exactly the decision I made after thinking about it all night!" Tamoya moved her body and sat facing me majestically. It seemed that there was important news to be announced. She pressed her chest and said from the bottom of her heart. Every word was spoken with sonorous force and a determination to move forward.
"I have decided that since this is fate and you are the successor recognized by Master Elufasia, then I, Tamoya of the Ursine tribe, will replace your summoned pet and become your pet. Your fighting partner!"
"Huh?" I tilted my head and looked at Tamoya. My brain was stuck for a while, and I couldn't turn around and understand the meaning of these words.
Then……
"puff--------!!!"
A mouthful of tea was mixed with my old blood, and it was sprayed out vigorously...
