Bear-San Fights Bellung Part 5

The knight and the maid looked at us.

“Ronne-sama and another fairy. And three bears…” (Knight)

Did you just say three bears?

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, right?

Could they have bad eyesight?

I wanted to ask him a few questions, but now was not the right time.

“Ronne…”

The figure on the knight’s back called Ronne’s name in a quiet voice.

“…Ry, Ryan.”

Ronne burst into tears and flew to the three people coming out of the mansion.

On the knight’s back was Ryan, who had been sleeping in the basement.

“Ryan, you’re awake!” (Ronne)

Ronne hugged Ryan’s face.

“Yes.” (Ryan)

He replied in a low voice.

“Jeez, you’re up too late.” (Ronne)

“I’m sorry.” (Ryan)

“You’re so skinny.” (Ronne)

Ronne cried, hugging Ryan’s face.

I knew that if Ryan were to leave the room, magic power would stop being supplied to him, and he would start to suffer.

However, there was no sign of that happening right now. Was he still in effective range?

Ryan smiled at Ronne and turned to Bellung.

“Bellung…” (Ryan)

Bellung stopped moving and looked at Ryan with a blank stare.

“Is that Master Bellung?” (Knight)

“Really…?” (Maid)

When Ryan mentioned Bellung’s name, the Knight and Maid were surprised to see the change in Bellung’s appearance.

Bellung’s appearance had changed.

He had already lost his confident appearance at the start of their battle.

“Where are you taking that man?” (Bellung)

Bellung asked the Knight.

“Master Bellung. Listen to me. The lock on that door that was off-limits was broken, and the door was open. So, when I went to check the basement, I found the captain dead and Ryan-san sleeping there.” (Knight)

The Knight explained to Bellung.

Well, the person who killed your captain was the man you were talking to.

“Where are you taking him…” (Bellung)

Hearing the same question, the Knight repeated his answer again, but Bellung still didn’t seem to understand what the knight was saying.

Perhaps the only thing Bellung could think of was Ryan and Ronne.

“Bellung, you’ve become such a sad figure…” (Ryan)

Ryan said while looking at Bellung with sad eyes.

“Ronne is mine.” (Bellung)

“Ronne is not yours. Bellung, it’s time to end this.” (Ryan)

Ryan let out a pained cry as he pushed himself off the knight’s back, causing Ryan to fall to the ground with a plop.

“Ryan-san!” (Knight)

The knight was surprised by his sudden action.

“Ryan!” (Ronne)

Ronne looked worried as Ryan collapsed to the ground.

“Yuna-san, right? I apologize for not saying hello, but please take good care of Ronne for me.” (Ryan)

How did he know my name?

Ryan slowly sat up, with a knife in his hand… where did he get it from?

“Ryan-san, that knife…” (Knight)

Before we could stop him, Ryan plunged the knife into his chest.

“Ryan!” (Ronne)

Ronne hugged Ryan.

“If I don’t do this, there will be no stopping the power that is being channeled to Bellung. Please stop Bellung.” (Ryan)

Ryan coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

Ryan’s eyes were closed, and his body was motionless.

“Ryan, Ryan.” (Ronne)

“That is my…” (Knight)

Ronne cried out. The knight and maid were stunned and stupefied, unable to process what was happening in front of their eyes.

Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, and Primme were also just watching.

So was I.

“Ryan! Ryan, wake up. Please wake up. You’ve barely woken up, and you’re being so mean to me.” (Ronne)

Ronne cried into Ryan’s chest.

“Please don’t die.” (Ronne)

I came to my senses and tried to approach Ryan to cast a healing spell, but Bellung shot a magic attack at me. Thankfully, I managed to dodge it.

“Ryan!” (Bellung)

Bellung wobbled as he approached Ryan. He kneeled in front of the fallen Ryan.

“Ry, ya, n.” (Bellung)

“It’s your fault. It’s your fault that Ryan is dead.” (Ronne)

Ronne slapped Bellung in the face with her tiny hand.

But there was no response from Bellung.

“Ry, ya, n.” (Bellung)

Bellung touched Ryan’s body again, calling his name in a low voice. Suddenly, Bellung’s body started to glow as if it were overflowing with magic power.

“What!” (Yuna)

The people around Bellung were sent flying by his magic power.

The knight and the maid rolled on the ground. Ronne was also sent flying in the air, but I managed to catch her in time.

“Ugh, it hurts.” (Ronne)

Ronne began to feel pain again.

It was the same situation as when Bellung forcefully drained magic power from Ronne earlier.

Was he trying to get more power?

But why? Ryan was dead.

“Ronne!” (Yuna)

“It hurts!” (Ronne)

Ronne passed out from the pain.

“Ro…nne.” (Bellung)

Bellung slowly got up and looked at me. Next, he attacked me with great speed.

Bellung swung his sword down at me.

I blocked Bellung’s sword with my mithril knife.

How was he still getting power?

Was he using Ryan’s corpse as a medium?

Or, was Ryan still alive?

Bellung was releasing an unprecedented amount of magic power.

“Give me back Ronne…” (Bellung)

“I can’t just give her back to you. Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear!” (Yuna)

I shouted and kicked Bellung away at the same time.

Then I put the unconscious Ronne on Swaying Bear’s back.

“Please take care of her.” (Yuna)

“Kuhnnn!”

“You guys get away from here as soon as possible.” (Yuna)

I said to the knight and the maid.

“Where to?” (Knight)

“I don’t know. Anyway, if you don’t get away from Bellung, he will kill you!” (Yuna)

Bellung and I resumed our battle.

Ryan was bleeding and lying on the ground.

He may still be alive, but even if I wanted to help him, Bellung would get in the way.

Bellung was furious and attacked me without regard.

Fast…

Rosa’s PoV

We borrowed the horses the knights rode and headed straight for the Lord’s mansion.

The town was in chaos.

Some were in pain, some collapsed. Some were being cared for.

It seemed that they had been siphoned off their magic power.

What in the world was happening at the mansion?

“Ugh.” (Rosa)

I was feeling weaker and weaker as my magic power was getting drained.

I gripped the reins tightly and tried not to fall off the horse.

“Rosa, are you okay?” (Blitz)

Blitz, who was worried about me, also looked pained.

“I’m fine.” (Rosa)

I used the magic stone I borrowed from Ran and felt a brief respite.

“Are you okay, Blitz?” (Rosa)

“I’d like to say I’m fine, but it’s a little tough. However, I am worried about Yuna and the others.” (Blitz)

We knew Yuna-chan was strong, but we were still worried. After all, knowing that our plan was already leaked to the Lord, it was quite possible that the Knights have been waiting for someone to attack the mansion, that being Yuna-chan.

Under such circumstances, Yuna-chan might be fighting against the Knights strengthened by the power of fairies while protecting Noa-chan and the others alone.

“Come on, let’s go.” (Blitz)

“Yes.” (Rosa)

We could not save the town residents right now.

All we could do now was to go to the Lord’s mansion and clean up this mess.

We rode our horses to the Lord’s mansion.

We saw something in the shape of a bear as we approached the mansion. There were several of them, and those bear-like shapes were standing there as if they were imprisoning someone.

Looking more closely, there were knights being held inside the bear shaped cage.

“Yuna did this?” (Rosa)

I could only assume so. Yuna-chan must have been the one to stall these knights.

If these knights had gone to stop the Guild Master or us, the operation would have failed.

Thanks to Yuna-chan’s efforts to stop these Knights here, we managed to destroy the devices draining the resident’s magic power.

Still, our efforts were for naught, and the attempt to destroy all the magic-draining devices ended in failure.

The Knights were suffering in the bear cage, but now every moment counts. There was no time to help them as well as the inhabitants.

Besides, if we help them, they might attack us, so we must leave them alone for now.

Passing by the knights locked in the bear cage, we encountered more Knights and maids who seemed to have come from the mansion but had collapsed in agony.

Our horses galloped past them, but the knights did not seem to pay attention to us.

Maybe they did not have the luxury of worrying about us.

We, too, were feeling weak as every moment passed by.

“What in the world is going on in the mansion?” (Rosa)

“Let’s hurry!” (Blitz)

And then, we finally arrived at the front of the mansion.

Without the horses, we would have never made it here.

The walls surrounding the mansion, somehow had been destroyed. The same went for the walls of the mansion itself. The fight between Yuna-chan and a creepy guy was still ongoing.

The fight between the two did not look like a human battle.

They moved fast, with sword and knife clashing.

When they unleashed their magic, the ground was gouged, and more walls were destroyed.

“So this is how you really fight, missy.” (Blitz)

“Blitz…” (Rosa)

We all know that Yuna-chan was strong.

But we only knew it from what we were told, we had actually never witnessed her in any real fights.

“She looks so astonishing that it makes one jealous.” (Blitz)

I could understand that feeling. Not only was her magic top-class, but her movements and knife handling were also top-class. Blitz would not be able to win against Yuna in a fight using magic, nor would he be able to win against her if he fought with his sword.

That’s how wide the difference was between Yuna-chan’s fighting ability and ours. Who was that guy who was fighting Yuna-chan on equal terms, though?

“Rosa, over there is Yuna’s bear.” (Blitz)

Blitz saw Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, then a man and a woman, and then someone who was injured and had fallen down.
