Chapter 9

Fina’s Perspective 1

Mother’s medicine has run out.

We don’t have money to buy more medicine.

I live with my mother and younger sister.

I don’t have a father.

It seems he died while my mother was pregnant with my younger sister.

I don’t remember him too much.

Mother can’t work due to her illness.

I’m working hard instead.

However, there’s not much a 10 year old like me can do.

Sometimes, Uncle Gentz lets me help with skinning for the guild.

Uncle Gentz is my mother’s acquaintance.

He is always kind.

He gave me the medicine last time, and the time before that as well.

I can’t depend on him any more.

I have no other choice but to go outside of the city and pick herbs.

I saw the herbs in the guild a lot so I can recognize them.

I went out of the city and headed straight for the forest.

Monsters live deep inside the forest, so I decided to only look for the herbs near the entrance of the forest.

I have trouble finding them.

I will go a little deeper inside.

There it is!

I can give mother this for medicine.

I was fascinated with the herb and didn’t notice I had been surrounded by three Wolfes.

I can’t possibly defeat them, so I try to flee.

My legs are trembling, I collapsed.

It’s no use.

"Somebody, help me…"

The Wolfes came closer.

Just when I thought it was already over, a Wolfe screamed and collapsed.

In an instant, all three Wolfes have collapsed.

Why?

A figure in black? has come out.

It has a somewhat lovely appearance.

"Are you okay?"

It spoke.

"Th, thank you very much?"

"Why a question?"

"Will you eat me?"

"I won’t eat you."

"Are you Bear-san?"

I started smiling, probably out of relief.

The person dressed as a bear is a woman called Yuna-san.

When she took off her hood, I saw a beautiful woman with black hair.

She was so beautiful that I was surprised.

I have never seen a person as beautiful as her.

It seems that Big Sis Yuna came from the countryside and lost her way in the forest.

Thank you for being lost.

Apparently I can show her my thanks by guiding her to the city.

If she requested money, I wouldn’t have been able to pay her. I don’t have any money.
