After canceling Mumloot-san's contract, I headed to the room where the magic circle carpet was located in order to cancel Kagari-san's contract as well.
When I looked into the room, I saw Kagari-san looking at the magic circle drawn on the carpet.
"What is this? This is very similar to that magic circle... Is it a practical use? I don't understand this. This is..." (Kagari)
There was not only a carpet with a magic circle drawn on it, but also a piece of paper with a magic circle drawn on it, and Kagari-san looked at it with interest.
"Kagari-san" (Yuna)
"What? I'm busy right now. Don't to get in the way." (Kagari)
"I would like to cancel the contract magic with Kagari-san." (Yuna)
"I have no intention of telling anyone your secret, so it’s not necessary." (Kagari)
"I'm happy about that. I believe in Kagari-san too. But, if the time comes when I have to talk, and I go to the Land of Harmoni, I won't want to hear that Cagalli-san died laughing." (Yuna)
Kagari-san took her eyes off the magic circle and looked at me as if she's looking at something mysterious.
Then she opened her mouth.
"……got it" (Kagari)
Kagari-san obediently follows me and comes to a room with a carpet of contract magic magic circles.
The contract was immediately canceled.
"I guess this is fine." (Kagari)
As soon as Kagari-san canceled the contract, she returned to the room where the magic circle carpet was placed.
"You seem to like the magic circle."
"Are you sure? Isn't it something precious?"
"There is also a valuable magic circle. However, just as Miss-chan believed in Kagari and canceled the contract magic, I also believe in Kagari. Kagari must not abuse the magic circle." (Mumloot)
When he said that, I couldn't say anything.
"I agree"
"But there are some things that are dangerous. I'll just be careful." (Mumloot)
Mumloot-san stood up and left the room.
I remained in the room and looked at the magic circle spread on the floor. Then, a sound ringed out in my head.
I reacted immediately. This sound was a mail sound.
I immediately opened the status.
An email had arrived.
"I added a skill."
I received an email from God with the same content.
I thought I received an email after a long time, but was that all?
However, I was concerned about the statement that skills had been added, so I checked the skills.
I really learned new skills.
Bear Magic Circle
You can create magic circles with mana.
It was written.
Can I make a magic circle?
There were several items in the magic circle section.
Bear magic enhancement circle, Bear's contract magic circle.
Maybe just these two?
Would it increase?
Or did I have to make it myself?
However, I was thankful that the magic circle of contract magic could be used from the beginning.
Let's check each one.
Bear magic enhancement magic circle
Magic effects were strengthened when you were inside the magic circle.
A bear's face was drawn below the sentence.
Was this a magic circle?
The expression on the bear's face was lifted and it looked strong.
Imagine this and draw a magic circle with mana?
For now, let's check the next magic circle.
Bear's contract magic.
We put our hands on each other's magic circles and said the details of the contract. The effect would be activated by mutual consent.
When you tried to talk about the contract, all you could say was "bear" or "kuma." Even if you tried to write it on paper, all you could write was "bear" or "kuma."
It was written.
It's better than dying though. Is this the bear's curse? I feel like saying that.
And a magic circle was drawn below the effect.
The magic circle had two bear faces drawn on it.
Somehow, maybe it's just my imagination that it looked similar with Kumayuru's and Kumakyu's faces.
For now, it looked like I was going to put my hand on this bear's face and made a deal.
The cancellation method is the same, and it seemed that it could be canceled if both parties agreed to the terms of the contract.
The problem was, did I have to memorize the magic circle?
I didn't know if it would increase, but it's a pain to memorize the magic circles of all the bears' faces.
This needed to be verified.
I rolled up the carpet with the contract magic drawn on it and placed it near the edge.
After confirming that no one was in the room, I tried drawing the bear's contract magic circle using mana.
I drew two round bear faces and their eyes and mouth.
Finally, I drew a line to connect the faces of each bear to complete the piece.
I guessed it was like this.
The floor was glowing with mana.
If mana disappeared, I guessed it's over.
I'd like to verify if it's effective, but I couldn't do contract magic alone.
Also, does the bear's magic enhancement mean that it further strengthens magic?
It seemed to be limited to inside the magic circle.
God, you're not trying to make me stronger and fight weird things, are you?
It's a mystery whether he happened to see the magic circle and gave it to me.
Emails were one-way, so I couldn't check.
Well, there's no use worrying about it, so I would be thankful for it.
"You, what are you doing?" (Kagari)
While practicing drawing the magic circle, Mumloot-san and Kagari-san returned.
"So, you were drawing a picture of a bear with mana?"
They said this while looking at the magic circle of bears drawn on the floor.
"That's not the case. Why is Kagari-san here? Weren't you looking at the magic circle?" (Yuna)
"When I was looking at the magic circle with Mumloot, Berna got mad at me." (Kagari)
"It's Kagari's fault for spreading things out one after another without cleaning them up." (Mumloot)
"You must have spread it out, asking me to take a look at this magic circle." (Kagari)
Apparently, Mumloot-san, who went to check on the situation, was also watching the magic circle with Kagari-san.
So the room turned out to be terrible and Berna-san scolded them.
"Hmm, this bear's face is no ordinary mana." (Kagari)
Kagari-san was looking at the bear magic circle I drew, probably to change the subject.
"Do you know?" (Yuna)
"Just somehow." (Kagari)
"This is a magic circle for contract magic." (Yuna)
"Is this the contract magic circle?" (Kagari)
Hearing my words, she turned my attention to the bear's magic circle again.
"I've never seen a magic circle like this before. Of course, I don't know about all magic circles, but there's one with a bear's face on it. But if it's you, is that even possible?"
Kagari-san looked at me and the magic circle alternately.
"Kagari-san, I'd like to try it. Is that okay?" (Yuna)
"Okay. I'll use you as a test subject." (Kagari)
"Miss, just to confirm, is there no danger?" (Mumloot)
Mumloot-san asked worriedly.
Well, Mumloot-san's magic circle was in danger of dying.
"I think it's probably okay. But I've never tried it." (Yuna)
I couldn't say for sure.
"It's unlikely that the effect will activate and you'll die. There's no way Yuna would create such a magic circle. Above all, this bear's face doesn't look dangerous."
Mumloot-san understood Kagari-san's words when he saw the magic circle on the bear's face.
"Well then, Mumloot, you should cover your ears. If you know the contents of the contract with the young lady, I won't be able to conduct the experiment." (Yuna)
"Am I the listener?" (Mumloot)
"You're the only one left." (Kagari)
Mumloot-san covered his ears when he heard that.
"Here, let's do it quickly." (Kagari)
"Then put your hand on that bear's face." (Yuna)
Kagari-san did as she was told and placed her hand on the bear's face.
I put my hand on the other bear's face.
"Oh, by the way, when you try to talk about the details of the contract, it seems to be a bear." (Yuna)
When I explained that, Kagari-san's hand quickly left the bear's magic circle.
"You asked concubine to become a bear." (Kagari)
"No, a bear doesn't call itself a bear." (Yuna)
"That's certainly true." (Kagari)
Seemingly satisfied, we returned our hand to the bear's magic circle.
"Here, tell me the secret you don't want Mumloot to know." (Kagari)
"Um..." (Yuna)
I thought about it for a moment.
"I guess it's okay if the underwear you're wearing are bear pants." (Kagari)
"Hey, that's super confidential information. How do you know that?" (Yuna)
"I wonder how many times you took a bath with concubine. Also, when I went to your house to take care of you." (Kagari)
"Ugh" (Yuna)
For now, there were no more secrets, so I signed a contract with that content.
"Don't tell anyone about my underwear." (Yuna)
"Agreed." (Kagari)
The bear's magic circle shined brightly for a moment.
It felt like a deal was sealed.
"Now, the contract is complete." (Kagari)
Kagari-san looked at Mumloot-san and gestured to stop covering his ears.
Mumloot-san removed his hand from his ear.
"It's okay now." (Yuna)
"Then I'll say it." (Kagari)
Kagari-san declared this and opened her mouth.
"Bear" (Kagari)
The word "bear" came out of Kagari-san's mouth.
"Bear?" (Mumloot)
Mumloot-san tilted his head.
"When you try to tell my secret, it's like saying 'bear.'" (Yuna)
"Kuma Kuma Bear" (Kagari)
Kagari-san tried to say more, but she kept saying 'bear' or 'kuma.'
It looked like she's trying to talk about my underwear.
"Apparently, it can only really be said as 'bear.' It's a terrible curse." (Kagari)
Kagari-san looked frightened.
"No, it's better than dying." (Yuna)
"That’s certainly true." (Kagari)
Next, she tried to write on a piece of paper, but the word Kuma Kuma Kuma was written on the paper.
"It's definitely the bear's curse." (Kagari)
Well, that's what I thought at first too. There's something sad about hearing someone called me cursed by a bear.
Since the contract magic had been proven, the contract would be canceled.
"Now, let’s check to see if it has been released." (Kagari)
Kagari-san looked at Mumloot-san.
"Hey." (Yuna)
I tried to stop him, but Kagari-san opened her mouth.
"This lady's underwear..." (Kagari)
Having said that, she stopped.
"You've released it. I was just about to talk normally. I won't tell, so let me go." (Kagari)
I was holding Kagari-san's shoulder.
"Concubine is also a woman, there's no way I can talk." (Kagari)
"That's right, but" (Yuna)
I thought she'd just say it.
For the time being, I was able to prove the effectiveness of Bear's Contract Magic Circle and successfully canceled it.
In the future, even if I needed to use contract magic, I wouldn't have to rely on Mumloot-san.
However, Kagari-san who said "Kumakuma" was cute.
Author's Note
This is a skill I've wanted to learn for a long time.
When I did contract magic for the first time, I thought it would be fun to make it, but I didn't have the right time to do it, so I left it alone.
