Author's Note 1:

It's a little longer than usual.

"Ano, Yuna-san. What is a hot spring?" (Ruimin)

While I was thinking about something, Ruimin asked me. Apparently, Ruimin has never been to a hot spring before.

"Hot springs are the hot water that comes out of the ground." (Yuna)

"Hot water from under the ground? Isn't that just water?" (Ruimin)

"It's hot water. It's a natural bath. It takes away your fatigue and is good for your health." (Yuna)

I sometimes heard a voice saying, "If you're tired, you can just wear the polar bear costume," but baths are different. It's the bath! The hot spring! The thing that takes away the fatigue of the mind.

"Hot water from underground......" (Ruimin)

Ruimin starts to think. She's interested in hot springs.

"Well then, the next time you come here, how about coming over for a hot spring bath?" (Yuna)

We could stay at the inn where Konoha-san is. If King Suou gives me a house with a hot spring, I can stay there.

"Really?" (Fina)

"Yeah. Of course, Fina too." (Yuna)

Ruimin and Fina looked happy at my words.

"It seems that was settled then. It's about time we go home. Missy, can you open the door?" (Mumroot)

When Mumroot-san stood up, Ruimin did the same.

"Thank you, Mumroot-san." (Yuna)

"I'm the one who should be thanking you. I'm glad I was able to tie up some loose ends I left a long time ago." (Mumroot)

You forgot about it, though.

"Ruimin-san. Please come visit us anytime. You are welcome." (Sakura)

"Yes, I'll come." (Ruimin)

"I hope you will tell me stories about the elven village then." (Sakura)

"I too would like to know about your country, Sakura-chan." (Ruimin)

"Yes, let's talk about it next time." (Sakura)

They smiled at each other.

"Mumroot, you've been a big help." (Kagali)

"Don't worry about it. Besides, it was Bear Missy who played a leading role this time. What I did was nothing comparable." (Mumroot)

"She really is one hell of a girl, isn't she?. You almost killed Orochi all by yourself." (Kagali)

It was not by my strength alone. If it had been a fully revived Orochi from the beginning, I would not have been able to defeat it so easily. Just imagining it, it's a nasty opponent. Mumroot-san and the others suppressed the resurrection, and Kagali-san defeated the Wind Orochi, which I had no countermeasure against.

"Also, like your granddaughter, you should show your face once in a while. Or perhaps it would be good if I went there myself. And when I do, be sure to have some sake ready." (Kagali)

That means through my bear gate, right?

Well, if I'm not busy, that's fine.

I opened the door to the bear gate, and Mumroot–san entered first, while Ruimin entered the bear gate, waving her hand. Sakura and Fina also wave back.
