Chapter 226 – Bear-san Patrols the Village

As everyone exited the room, only Mumuroot-san and I were left behind.
Sanya-san had been the last to leave, wearing a very apologetic expression on her face.
She didn’t really need to feel bad about this.

「Well then, we should get going as well.」

Mumuroot-san said and headed for the door, with me on his tail.

「All I have to do is subjugate any monsters that get to the village, right?」

「I will get rid of the monsters. All I need you to do is tell me if and where the monsters appear.」

Mumroot-san seemed to be doing the same thing as Sanya-san, keeping me away from harm and trouble, but that wasn’t necessary. If I spotted any monsters, it would be quicker if I simply took them down myself.
To not get in any unnecessary arguments, I kept that to myself and simply summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in their regular sizes.
Mumuroot-san brought his hand up to his chin and simply stared at the Bears for a while.

「Let us know if monsters come our way, okay?」

I told the Bears, then used detection magic to check the nearby area.
There weren’t any monsters in the vicinity of the village; the only reactions I got seemed to be those of the elves.

Like Mumuroot-san instructed, the elves had split into two groups and were slowly leaving my detection range in the direction two groups of monsters were supposed to be. I wished I could tell where exactly the monsters were, but they were sadly too far away.
I knew Labilata and Sanya-san would be able to take down Wolves and Volcrows easily, but Tiger Wolves could be a problem.
Even a single Tiger Wolf was quite a formidable opponent on its own, so if they didn’t pay attention they could be in danger.
I didn’t know which group Sanya-san was in charge of, but I prayed that she would return safely.

Mumuroot-san and I then slowly began to patrol the village with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear walking by my sides.
Many people greeted us as we passed, and while the adults stopped only to chat, the children immediately ran to the Bears.
Mumuroot-san calmly informed every villager we came across that monsters might come close to the village and instructed them not to leave the village at any cost.
After doing this of a while, we eventually ran into Ruimin and Luca, who seemed to simply be walking around hand-in-hand.

「Grandpa! Yuna-san!」

Once they spotted us they rushed over.

「What are you two doing here?」

「We were about to head outside the village but were stopped and told we couldn’t.」

「I’m sorry, but you will have to stay inside the village today.」

Mumuroot-san then proceeded to give them a brief explanation.
Since the two of them already knew about the monsters coming through the barrier, they simply nodded in understanding.

「By the way, what are you two doing here?」

Both of them looked at me curiously.
They probably thought it was weird to see me and Mumuroot-san walking around together.

「The Young Bear Lady is helping me patrol the village.」

Mumuroot-san explained and gestured toward Hugging Bear and Swaying Bear.
Before I realized, Luca was already patting Hugging Bear.

「Grandfather, can we come along, too? We promise not to get in your way.」

Ruimin asked, most likely because she notices that Luca looked like he really wanted to ride on top of one of the Bears.
Mumuroot-san thought about for a bit before agreeing.
