Chapter 629

Bear-san Reunites with the Goblin

I used my detection skills as I approached the village.

“Uwah!” (Yuna)

I got a lot of responses indicating the presence of Giant Spiders.

How come there were so many spiders?

Just the thought of it made me shiver.

I would like to go home. I would like to pretend I didn’t see the Giant Spiders.

But I couldn’t.

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, let’s proceed slowly.” (Yuna)

“Kuh~n”

…

I thought I had prepared myself properly.

I was not going to be surprised when it showed up.

But the image and the actual thing were different.

“Gya ??” (Yuna)

I screamed when I saw the Giant Spider that appeared before me.

It was a big spider.

It was about the size of a Wolf.

Even the palm-sized tarantula I saw on TV made me shudder, but a Wolf-sized spider was impossible.

I could see its black body, eight legs, and mouth ticking, giving me goosebumps.

“Bear Cutter.” (Yuna)

The Giant Spider splits into three equal parts and dies.

I had used bear magic and accidentally caused excessive damage.

When I looked at the Giant Spider, cut into three pieces, I saw its legs twitching.

“Ugh, I want to just go home.” (Yuna)

There were cartoons and comics before young girls who were turned into sorcerers were thrown alive into large numbers of insects to feed. Either the sorceresses died, or the insects died. I got goosebumps when I saw that.

If they did that to me, I would go crazy.

I wouldn’t even want to look directly at it up close.

The thought of a large spider’s face in front of me gives me goosebumps.

Terrible. It might be my worst enemy ever.

The thought of facing a place full of spiders, which I dislike, depressed me.

Somehow, (later on) I screamed many times when encountering Giant Spiders during my journey to the village.

I finally arrived in the village, but now I felt like I would have a mental breakdown.

“I want to go home.” (Yuna)

I lost count of how many times muttered this phrase non-stop.

I wanted to go home, forget about everything, hug Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, and go to sleep.

I would love to spend time with Fina and Shuri.

But, looking at the current situation in the village, I could not say so.

Giant Spiders wandered around the village in swarms and spider threads coiled houses.

It was as if they were trying to keep the people inside the house from getting out.

I used my detecting skill to check. There were some reactions from people.

They may have been trapped inside the house but still alive.

I was relieved that I made it in time, but I had to defeat the many Giant Spiders on the prowl and do something about this mess of a situation.

The strings it spits out were a nuisance, but I could defeat them without too much trouble.

The question was whether my spirit would last.

I checked around with my detection skill and found quite a few of the Giant Spiders in the village. There were 30, 50, or more. It was too much trouble to count them.

Then, I might not like it, but I should start defeating the spiders.

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, please take care of the back.” (Yuna)

“Kuh~n”

I’ll have Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear stay by my side for once.

Normally, it would be quicker to defeat them separately, but if I were attacked from behind by a Giant Spider, I would suffer psychological and emotional damage.

If that happened, I would be traumatized for the rest of my life.

The thought of being haunted by countless large spiders would make me faint.

Therefore, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear would be my escorts.

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, protect me.” (Yuna)

“Kuh~n”

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s cries sounded like, “Leave it to us”.

I trust you both!

We move through the village, defeating the Giant Spiders that roam the village.

The Giant Spider’s body was soft, so it was easy to defeat it, but please don’t make its legs twitch after defeat.

I want to see it in my dreams.

Today, I should sleep with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in my arms.

If I hugged both Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in my arms, I was sure the spiders would not appear in my dreams.

Even if Fina and Shuri ask me to lend these bears to them, I would refuse even if I had to become an ogre this time.

As I was moving through the village, defeating the Giant Spider, I heard a man’s voice.

“Orya! Get out of the way!” (???)

Were they fighting?

Could it be the adventurers?

I remember the man who came to the village to ask for help told me that two adventurers had saved him.

I wondered if it was those adventurers who were fighting.

That means that after rescuing the man, they went to the village attacked by Giant Spiders, instead of running away.

And even in this situation, he was fighting without running away.

I admire that.

Maybe I could leave it all to this adventurer?

I would like to leave it to him.

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, let’s go.” (Yuna)

“Kuhn.”

I headed toward the voice for now since it could have been a villager.

“There he is.” (Yuna)

A large man with a goblin face was fighting a Giant Spider, wielding a large sword.

Another man who looked like an adventurer was behind him, protecting his family.

Where have I seen that goblin face with the big sword before?

Where was it? Now was not the time to think about it.

Spiders surrounded the goblin-faced adventurer, and behind him was a man, a woman, and a child who looked like a family.

I ran forward and fired wind magic from behind the Giant Spider, slicing it to pieces.

Strange-colored liquids spurt out of the spider, and then it falls over.

“Are you okay?” (Yuna)

I asked the goblin-faced adventurer, who looked at me startled.

I knew I had seen him somewhere before.

“…You, bear.” (Deborane)

I thought he was surprised by my outfit, but I guess not.

You what? This means that he knew me.

I was not mistaken.

“Why are you here, Bear Lady?” (Lanz)

The man guarding the family behind me also seemed to know me.

Indeed, this man also looked familiar to me.

“Well, are you all right? I’m here to help you. And have I met you somewhere else?” (Yuna)

“…you.” (Deborane)

“You’ve forgotten Deborane-san!” (Lanz)

Goblin-face was angry, and the man protecting his family uttered the name of the man who seemed to be Goblin-face.

Deborane, Deborane.

It sounded familiar.

I have it tucked away somewhere in my brain.

But it never came out of that memory drawer.

“You forgot the face of the man you beat up when you came to register as an adventurer.”

…

Poof.

“Goblin.” (Yuna)

“It’s Deborane!” (Deborane)

I remembered. I remembered.

It was the adventurer who had tried to bully me when I went to register with the Adventurer’s Guild. And I had beaten him back.

It was a nostalgic memory.

I hadn’t seen Deborane much lately and had forgotten about him.

Wasn’t the guy behind Deborane named Lanz?

He was a former member of Rurina’s and Gil’s group, and he said they had split up, but here he was.

“Why are you two here? We’re far from Crimonia.” (Yuna)

“That’s what we would like to ask you?” (Deborane)

“I went to kill a Tiger Wolf in a nearby village at a request from the royal capital, and a man from this village asked me to help him because this village was being attacked by spiders.” (Yuna)

“So that man is safe, then?” (Deborane)

I knew it was these two men who had saved that man.

“He was tired, but he’s fine.” (Yuna)

“I see.” (Deborane)

Deborane looked relieved.

“Deborane-san, now let’s get out of here.” (Lanz)

Lanz said while looking around.

The surroundings were safe for now because I defeated the Giant Spiders, but you never know when they would gather again.”

“Yeah, let’s go.” (Deborane)

Deborane called out to me as I wondered what I should do.

“You, come with us.” (Deborane)

I wanted to say, “Why?” but they were protecting a family in the back, and I also wanted to get some information, so I decided to go with them.

We arrived in the Village Chief’s house.

“Bears!” (Village Chief)

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear closed in on the house and surprised the man inside the house.

This man seemed to be the Village Chief.

“You don’t have to worry about these bears.” (Deborane)

Deborane said, and without waiting for the Village Chief’s permission, he sat down in a chair and asked for a glass of water.

The Village Chief then offered water to the tired Deborane and Lanz, who drank it all in one gulp.

The family, who had been attacked, thanked Deborane and were allowed to rest in an adjoining room.

“So, what’s up with that cute little lady dressed as a bear, and the bears?” (Village Chief)

The Village Chief turned to me, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“Well, even though she’s dressed like this, she’s an adventurer.” (Deborane)

“Adventurer?” (Village Chief)

Deborane said I was an adventurer.

That was quite an improvement from the first time we met.

“Also, these black and white bear are her pets.” (Deborane)

“”Kuh~n!””

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cry out in protest at Deborane’s introduction.

“Are they really Pets?” (Village Chief)

“Kuhn!”

Again, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried out again in protest.

The conversation was not going anywhere, so I joined in.

“They are my precious friends. So as long as you don’t do anything to them, they’ll be fine.” (Yuna)

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried happily when I said they were my friends.

The Village Chief had a puzzled look on his face but did not inquire any further about Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“So, that means you’re here to help us take down these Giant Spiders, right?” (Deborane)

Deborane asked as he cleaned up the Giant Spider’s threads and blood that clung to his sword.

“I intend to, but do I need to?” (Yuna)

He might tell me to stay out of it or that he didn’t need your help.

“I need help. I and Lanz couldn’t use magic.” (Deborane)

Oh, he could honestly ask for help.

It seemed that he didn’t say no to protect his pride when the lives of the village residents were at stake.

I wouldn’t pick a fight with someone if they didn’t come at me. Because I am an adult.

“Well, then, brief me the situation.” (Yuna)

According to the Village Chief, the Giant Spiders appeared out of nowhere and attacked the village.

Deborane and Lanz were on business near the village and saved a man from being attacked by a spider.

My goblin stock has gone up.

I respected him for coming to the village and not running away.

And according to Deborane’s instructions, the village residents were trapped and locked up inside their houses.

So the residents were inside their houses.

That reminds me again that Deborane was also a proper adventurer.

“Giant Spiders have a habit of wrapping their threads around their food and saving it for later to eat. If they stay inside their houses, they won’t be eaten right away.” (Deborane)

Most of the houses were wrapped in web string.

“It’s not pleasant, though. But in the meantime, their lives are spared.” (Deborane)

Some would say that they were waiting for their turn to be eaten.

But Deborane was right. The villagers would not be eaten right away, which means the adventurers have time to process the situation.

“So you’re saying that we just have to defeat the Giant Spider in the village, right?” (Yuna)

Then my original goal remained the same. We just have to defeat the Giant Spiders that have attacked the village.
