As character synchronization increases, memory also increases.

But it wasn’t something that happened that quickly.

If you level up your hypnosis app to ‘maximize empathy’, you may be able to find out her memories.

‘Leveling up is just around the corner, but I’m a little short on experience points. It’ll be hard to level up today.’

So I asked Lakkuma.

“Hmm. What, don’t you remember anything today? Kumaya.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t remember anything… … .”

There’s nothing to be sorry about.

I stepped outside for a moment, telling myself to relax, and picked up the phone.

Come to think of it, it was because Dean Serin had given me her phone number.

I’ve been staying still because I wanted to solve the mission myself.

Since it has come to this… …I should ask the dean.

Anyway, the one who asked for guidance was probably the dean.

The phone rang for a moment, then a bright voice was heard.

-Lucius?! How’s it like there? The air is really nice, isn’t it?!

As soon as she picked up my call, Serin spoke in an excited voice.

-Haha, where is there a chance to get some fresh air? We need to quickly find the dragon egg and awaken the dean.

– … … .

After a moment of silence, Serin started to fuss.

-Heeelp! As expected, there’s no one else but Lucius. The only one who thinks of me!

Leaving aside the Dean’s remarks, who seemed greatly moved by my remarks.

I told the principal that the memories of ‘Lakkuma’, who was supposed to guide us, had disappeared in an unexpected accident.

Of course, the Dean knows that too. You said you read the contents of “Novelland” every day.

-Uh, what should I do…? I need to get guidance from Lakkuma-chan for that part. It’s an “unspecified” part.

This is the “unset” part.

Is this an area of unestablished knowledge that even the author himself is unaware of?

-But I’ll give you one hint.

-Oh! A hint?!

I pricked up my ears.

-If you go to the place I’m talking about, you’ll probably get a clue.

As soon as we set up our tent, we headed straight to the Dragon Forest.

Up to the ‘watchtower’ installed in the Dragon Forest, guards stood guard on the watchtower at regular intervals.

Since this is an area where monster attacks are frequent, it was necessary to have some safety measures in place.

“If we continue like this, will we be able to meet Kuma, the guardian of the Great Forest?”

Nod, nod.

After I nodded.

I walked along the path, ignoring the occasional scary roar from the forest. I would have been discovered by the guards at the outpost before the monsters even got close anyway.

The young girls looked around in fear.

Almost at the ‘Great Forest Watchtower’.

“Kwaaah!”

Even I, who was walking forward with a calm expression, was surprised by the loud crying sound I heard.

But who were the “guardians” of the Great Forest?!

A group that boasts the highest level of military power among the Ranger groups. They are the best special forces that the kingdom is proud of.

Shh …

A beast approaching the safe path was heard falling to the ground like a hedgehog in a hail of arrows.

Kuung!

After a while, a figure landed on a huge tree.

A woman with flowing green hair that reaches past her waist and holding a bow.

That was the appearance of the ‘Forest Elf’, the most commonly known of the guardians of the forest.

But how light must one be to land from a height of several meters?

-This is Outpost 1. We’ve killed one demon approaching the outpost entrance 70 meters ahead. Also, we’re identifying 7 unidentified people. That’s it.

-Okay. I’ll check in 3 minutes.

The forest elves kept a wary eye on us.

However, he looked at the pink ears of Yuigahama, who was bending down at the very back of us, and cheered.

“Gyaaaah! Who is this?! It’s Lakkuma?!”

“Woong… …?!”

He was following me with an anxious expression and a bent back.

Couldn’t she be seen by the eyes of a ‘forest elf’ with sharp eyesight?

-This is Outpost 1. Your identity has been confirmed. Since Lord Lakkuma has arrived, report to Lord Kuma!

-i get it.

* * *

The ‘Great Guardian, Kuma’ of the forest, who has defeated the most monsters in history.

When they saw her daughter, ‘Lakkuma’, everyone in the camp was happy.

“Oh my, Kuma’s daughter is back!”

“Welcome! Did you enjoy your time at the Academy?”

“Oh, hello!!”

Lakkuma was busy running around, greeting people here and there, with his eyes tightly shut.

“It’s still messing around.”

“Hahaha! The professor is going to have a hard time.”

Then, a little boy pointed at me and asked my name.

“Kuma-sister! Who is this person?”

“Ah… … um… … .”

Lakkuma took a moment to clear his throat, then made an important declaration.

Whispering.

He whispered in my ear, I don’t know what he said, but it was enough to make me and my daughters flustered.

“What?! Boyfriend… …?!”

“Hiik.”

“Is that crazy!”

Just as the battle was about to begin again, a forest elf approached us with a smile and said:

“Kuma tells you to come in.”

* * *

A reception room that is not luxurious, but rather classy.

A tight-fitting, pure white uniform with a neat pink ribbon.

And a white chest to match that white dress.

A beautiful girl without a single flaw greeted us warmly.

“Welcome. Yes. You said you were my daughter’s friends?”

“… … ?!”

The girls’ bodies froze as they confirmed Kuma’s identity.

Bam.

Arisha said, gently nudging Kuma’s arm with her elbow.

“Hey, you guys. I said dad… … ?”

Even though he doesn’t have big ears like Suin, Kuma, who has bright ears, smiled brightly and said.

“Well, how should I explain it… …Actually, I’m the dad!”

“Who the hell?!”

Yuigahama, who was more flustered than anyone else and was watching me closely, said nothing. She simply shook her head with a brain-stopping expression.

“Okay~ Come here quickly and hug Daddy!”

“Yes, yes, yes~”

As expected of a young lady who graduated from the best girls’ school in Japan, Yuigahama perfectly played the role of a dignified young lady from a prestigious family.

The problem was that Lakkuma’s original personality was that of an overly cheerful school girl.

The group of delinquent students also have a headache due to Lakkuma’s unexpected actions…

Yuigahama must have known this fact too?

I guess you can’t hide your nature. How can you be so polite?

Luckily, Kuma seemed to like it better.

“Hoho! You’ve grown a lot in the past month, our Kuma.”

Then, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted.

“Are you still treating me like a child?”

That’s right, the most popular married female character in this game!

‘Lakshma’.

Lakshma was originally a blonde-haired, cat-eared instructor character who taught yoga classes at the Arpen Academy.

But when Serin opened a yoga class.

Her whereabouts had become unknown. Then Kuma burst into hearty laughter.

“Hahaha! Then, then. Now our daughter can get married!”

Kuma seemed to be very impressed with Lakkuma’s bean pods. This was as expected.

Because Lakkuma was a clone of Kuma, created using a special technique.

That is also the reason why Kumar, a woman, married Lakshma, another woman.

“Seo, no way… … !”

Arisha Youngae and Choa pointed their fingers at the same time and spoke with faces that could not hide their surprise.

“Bae, Lily couple… … ?!”

Then, Kuma smiled happily, his gums blooming, and Lakshma shyly shook Kuma’s fingertips.

“Hehehe.”

“Boo, I’m embarrassed… … .”

Yuigahama, who now understood what had happened, had a lightbulb go off in her head.

“Ah, ahaha… … I never imagined that. They said I was a pretty dad. What did you mean… … .”

“Oh my, Lakkuma suddenly started using pretty words?”

“Hahaha!! Our pretty daughter, she’s really grown up?!”

Yuigahama had a dumbfounded expression on her face, but she brightened up, perhaps relieved that her young lady concept was protecting the harmony of her family.

But now that she has a rough idea of the situation, perhaps she has decided that she can be a little more free from her restraints?

“Yes! I learned a lot after going to the academy! Hehe… … .”

He laughed out loud, smiling happily like a child.

“Yes, is there something you want to do with my daughter? Or, do you just want to visit Dad’s workplace?”

At that time, it seemed as if Lakshma, with his big ears, was whispering useless things next to him, as if he had caught all the rumors.

“What?! This guy is… …our Lakkuma’s boyfriend?!!”

“Hi, eek eek… … !!?”

The girls also pointed at me and shouted with astonishment on their faces.

“Oh, brother! Isn’t that right?”

“Where did our puppy get such a bad… … !”

“Heeelp, the artificial is being stolen again?!”

At that moment, I was able to find Liris, who was smiling awkwardly among the other girls.

“Hehe, ehehe. Chu, congratulations. Ehehe… … .”

What is that smile, that smile isn’t a smile. That face looks like that.

Anyway, I had to explain.

Not a boyfriend.

Just, we had a one-night stand… … No, wait! How am I supposed to explain this? But to make matters worse, Yuigahama hugged my wrist deep into her chest and said.
