Was something important missing?
Where did the big Black Bear Fierce Person that always stood in the corner like a wall go?
And the little one.
"By the way, Warabi."
Heimer asked casually.
"Where are Kyoujin and his child?"
"Hmm?"
Hanasaka Warabi froze, seemingly finally realizing it. Her eyes darted around, and after confirming that those two dark, bulky figures were indeed not in the room, her small face darkened instantly.
One could even clearly see a bright red "vein" mark popping out on her forehead.
Her fists tightened.
"Um... my god, please wait a moment."
"I'll be right back!"
Having said that, before Heimer could react, Hanasaka Warabi gritted her teeth and, surrounded by a visible aura of black energy, charged out of the room aggressively.
She headed straight for the next room!
Three seconds later!
"Bang!!!"
A loud crash suddenly came from the next room.
Immediately after, Hanasaka Warabi's voice, filled with dissatisfaction, pierced through, almost blowing the roof off.
"Kyoujin!!!!"
"The sun is already beating on your butt!!!!"
"How long are you going to sleep, you lazy bear?! Get up right now!!!!"
This sudden commotion startled not only Heimer and the others but even Ryu Rion, who was downstairs cleaning with a broom, and Chloe and Lunoire, who had been pressed into service.
The broom in her hand paused, her pointed elven ears twitched, and she subconsciously looked up at the ceiling of the second floor.
"W-what happened, meow?"
Chloe hugged her cleaning cloth and shrank her neck.
"Should we go up and take a look?"
Lunoire was also looking confused.
However, considering that the god's Falna update ceremony was taking place on the second floor.
"...Better not."
Ryu Rion shook her head, lowered her head again, and continued dealing with the dust on the floor.
The private affairs of a god and their Familia were not to be disturbed by outsiders.
...Thus.
Returning our gaze to the second floor.
"Awooo!!!"
"Awooo!!!"
In the next room.
After Hanasaka Warabi finished shouting, a series of clattering sounds erupted, mixed with the panicked howls of Kyoujin.
Not long after, under the gaze of Heimer and the others, the door was pushed open again.
Hanasaka Warabi walked in, pouting angrily.
She was dragging a thick bear leg in her hand.
She had forcibly dragged in a huge Black Bear.
As a giant bear capable of tearing monsters apart in the Dungeon, a beast that even demi-humans had to give a wide berth—Kyoujin, at this moment, looked like a schoolchild caught in the act by a parent.
He hung his head, allowing his master, that loli with monstrous strength, to drag him along, completely unable to resist.
One could even see a few sleepy drool marks hanging on his thick fur.
That was drool from a dazed little bear cub lying on Kyoujin's belly, which was holding onto its mother's ear, swaying back and forth with Hanasaka Warabi's dragging motion, rubbing its eyes, seemingly still not understanding the situation.
"Sorry for the unseemly sight... my god..."
Hanasaka Warabi let go of the bear leg, patted the dust off her hands, and when she turned to look at Heimer, her face had already changed into an awkward but polite smile.
Then, she glared at Kyoujin, which was lying on the ground playing dead, with a look of frustration.
"These two... as soon as they heard they didn't have to go into the Dungeon today, they started slacking off."
"It's just too embarrassing!"
"Well..."
Heimer smiled.
"After all, they were also exhausted yesterday..."
Heimer had just finished speaking. Suddenly, the little Black Bear, which had been dozing on the Kyoujin's head, seemed to smell something.
Its black-bean-like eyes lit up instantly. Upon noticing Heimer sitting on the chair, it went, "Whoosh!"
The little fellow immediately threw its mother to the back of its mind, kicked its hind legs, and leaped straight off the Kyoujin's head. It was so fast that before Rin and the others could see clearly, they felt a gust of wind rush past them.
"Awoo!" The little fellow let out a joyful cry. With a ferocious bear pounce, it jumped precisely and accurately into Heimer's arms.
"Awoo~" After calling out, the little fellow expertly found the most comfortable position in Heimer's arms, rubbed its fluffy head against Heimer's clothes, and then contentedly closed its eyes. It even began to purr. It was preparing to go back to sleep.
"..." Heimer looked down at the little ball of black soot in his arms. He felt somewhat helpless. This little thing certainly knew how to pick a spot.
"Alright, stop sleeping." Heimer reached out and gently patted the little Black Bear's chubby butt; it felt quite nice.
"You can sleep later. Next, I need to update the Falna for you and your mother."
"Awoo?" The little Black Bear groggily opened one eye, seemingly understanding Heimer's words, and moved its body reluctantly.
At this moment, the other girls gathered around. After all, yesterday they had heard from Tsubaki Cobrand that Lord Heimdall had had a sudden whim to bestow a Falna upon these two bears as well.
"I'm so looking forward to this..." Rin leaned in closer, staring at the huge Kyoujin on the ground. "With a build this big, it was able to tank and deal damage in the Dungeon yesterday; the status should be very high, right?"
"Yes." Heimer didn't waste any words. He signaled for Hanasaka Warabi to hold the Kyoujin down—though the Kyoujin wouldn't dare to move anyway.
Heimer walked behind the Kyoujin. He parted the thick, coarse black fur. He pricked his fingertip. Divine blood dripped down.
"Hum—" The sacred script manifested through the fur onto the Kyoujin's broad back. Although the area covered by the sacred script was ridiculously large due to its body size, the data wouldn't lie.
Heimer focused his eyes. —— [Name]: Kyoujin. [Level]: Lv.1. [status]: Strength: I0 → A885. Endurance: I0 → SS1032. dexterity: I0 → D521. agility: I0 → E433. Magic: I0 → I0. ——
"Whoa." Heimer raised an eyebrow. Although he had expected it—after all, the Kyoujin had the [Thick Fat] skill, and in the Dungeon, it had basically acted as a meat shield, certainly tanking many monster attacks—seeing the Endurance hit SS in just one day was still a bit shocking.
"Endurance SS..." Heimer announced the data.
"Yay!!!" Hanasaka Warabi jumped up in joy, hugged the Kyoujin's large head, and rubbed against it vigorously. "Well done! Kyoujin!" "That's my Kyoujin!"
"Awoo~" The Kyoujin seemed to know it was being praised; it hummed proudly, its tail wagging furiously.
"It really is impressive." Inaba Tsukuyo also nodded, giving an objective assessment.
"Then..." Everyone's gaze finally fell upon the little Black Bear still yawning in Heimer's arms.
"What about this little fellow?" Rin poked the little Black Bear's belly. "It seemed to be sleeping on the Kyoujin's back the whole time yesterday, right?"
"Yes, it really didn't move much." Kikakujuo Mary recalled. "It didn't even walk much."
"There shouldn't... be any improvement, right?" This was the normal logic. In the Dungeon, you get out what you put in. That was the rule. What kind of growth could a bear that had been AFK the whole time possibly have?
Heimer thought the same. However, since he had bestowed the Falna, he still had to follow the process. Heimer turned the little Black Bear over, making it face away from him. He parted the soft fur. Dripped blood. Updated. The sacred script appeared.
However, when that string of data popped up, Heimer's originally casual expression suddenly froze. He almost lost the divine dignity he had been maintaining.
"?"
Heimer rubbed his eyes. He looked again. ——
[Name]: Little Black Bear.
[Level]: Lv.1.
[status]: Strength: I0 → A888. Endurance: I0 → A888. dexterity: I0 → A888. agility: I0 → A888. Magic: I0 → A888. ——
