After defeating Arachne and obtaining the "War Bear Ring," I worked with Alisa to transport the research team to the rocky mountain cave in the D Particle Wing.

　He takes Alisa to a space at the back of the cave and looks around to observe.

Was Arachne here?"

'I was surprised when he attacked me, sending strings flying from his buttocks.'

"You're still a spider after all ...... for such an attack."

When I defeated that arachnid, it dropped this ring.

　I give the ring to Alisa. Alisa appraised it with "Item Analyze". She frowns beautifully when she learns the result.

I'd better not let the professors know about this."

　Alisa lets out a sigh and returns the ring.

'Oh, I can only imagine a future where I wear this ring and charge into the streets of War Bear.

　We decided to discuss this ring with Branch Manager Kondo after returning to the ground.

　I left Elmore, Taabo, and Tamegoro as guards and went to sleep. The professors said they were too excited to sleep, but before they knew it, they were asleep.

　The next day, when I woke up, the professors were already awake and observing the city. They were very enthusiastic.

The Warbears are clearly forming a civilized society."

"Mm, this could be designated as a special protected species."

　Hearing the unfamiliar words, I asked a question and the instructor, Sakagami, told me. It seems that a special protected race is a race of demons living in a dungeon that has a certain level of advanced civilization.

　The demons designated as its special protected race are subject to protection and are not allowed to be killed.

The residents are acting strangely. Everyone is looking in a certain direction."

　Looking in the direction the War Bears are facing, they seem to be looking toward a mountain in the middle of the plain. Then they kneel down and bow their heads.

Is this ...... worship?"

'Yes, they do. They seem to have a religion. Interesting."

　I had a bad feeling. If I were on the ground, I could get away with religious rituals, but in a dungeon, there are things that can't be done with superstitions and myths.

　If War Bear worships something, it might really exist. What's on that mountain?

　It would be better to investigate carefully here and then go to the mountain. I might try to break into the city using "War Bear's Ring". But I don't understand the language.

Professor, do you have any information about the language the Warbears are using?"

A similar civilization of demons has been discovered in the dungeons of the United States. The language used by this race is called the M language. It may be the same language used by the Warbears.

　Is it the M language or is it the same language?　As I was looking down on the city of War Bear, Iguchi, the photographer, started taking pictures for his research.

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

　We were to live in the cave for three days while we observed and investigated the city of War Bear and return to the surface. While the professors were investigating, Alisa and I examined the topography of the thirteenth layer.

　Then they found a route from the entrance to the back of the city without passing through the city of Warbear. This would allow the magic-user who cannot fly to continue his search after the thirteenth layer.

Can you extend it just one more day?"

　The professor insisted that I continue the research for another day, but I politely declined. He was indeed tired of living in a cave.

　After returning to the ground, we headed for the Adventurers' Guild. We enter the guild's branch manager's office and begin our report to Branch Manager Kondo. First, the professors report on the town of War Bear, stating that it falls under a special protected race.

　Finally, I started my report.

I encountered Arachne in a rocky cave in the city of War Bear."

"Well, you're the Grimm, so you must have beaten him."

Yes, and among the drops Arachne left behind was a ring called the 'War Bear Ring. It's a ring that can turn you into a warbear.

　Professor Morimoto rolls his eyes when he hears my report.

Wait a minute, I didn't hear it. Why didn't you tell me in the dungeon?"

Because if I told them, they would say they were going to use the ring to infiltrate the city of Warbear."

　Professor Morimoto looks dissatisfied.

It was a great opportunity to go inside and survey the city of War Bear. It was a great opportunity to go inside and survey the city of War Bear. Now you must return and resume your investigation."

Calm down, Professor.

　Kondo, the branch director, stopped the professor.

We don't even know if the ring will work properly. First, please write a report and submit it to the Adventurers' Guild."

　The professor reluctantly backs down when told to do so by the branch manager.

There's something else that's been bothering me.

What is it that's been bothering you, Mr. Grimm?

It's the mountain where the War Bears used to worship. I think there's something up there."

You're not telling me there's a God of Warbears out there, are you?"

I don't know if it's a god or not, but I thought, 'Maybe there is a being in the mountains that the Warbears worship.'

　The professor objected to my opinion.

That remains to be seen," he said. Sometimes the mountain itself is considered sacred."

　It is called mountain worship, which also exists in Japan. Dewa Sanzan, Kumano, and Mt. Fuji are well known, and the professors considered them to be mountain worship.

　It seemed inconceivable that a mountain created by a dungeon would be considered sacred by the warbears who live there, but the possibility was not zero.

Grimm, the mountain that the Warbears worship, "Mt.

likelihood of going on vacation

Let's call it 'Kumoakayama,' if you will. You're expecting something to be in that bear mountain, aren't you?"

Yes, I felt something bad when I looked at Kumaeo Mountain."

　The branch manager nodded slowly. When you are an adventurer, there are times when you get a bad feeling about something, and at such times you may encounter a formidable demon.

　After the debriefing, we split up and went home. Alisa came with me to the mansion and we decided to have dinner.

I'm curious about that bear mountain."

I'm curious too, so I'm going to break into the city of War Bear and see what I can find. I'm curious too, so I'm going to break into the city of War Bear and see if I can find any clues."

But the city of War Bear is off-limits.

I'm going to ask the Adventurers' Guild for permission under the guise of testing the effects of the War Bear Ring."

Would you give permission?"

I'm still a class A student. I'm going to try a little bit of a push."

　When I asked the Adventurers' Guild for permission, they granted it on the condition that I would not harm War Bear. Normally, I would not have been granted permission, but I feel that A-levels are given preferential treatment.

　Prepare and go solo to the thirteenth layer.

　The city of War Bear is surrounded by a three-meter-high wall, and the entrance is around to the right. I put on the "Ring of War Bear" and went through the gate of the city. There was a gatekeeper, but he could not stop me.

　The Warbears who come and go in town seem to be living a normal life. And they seem to think I am a War Bear child.

　Of course, I did not understand the language of the warbears, but I could tell from their tone of voice and gestures that they were greeting and negotiating prices. As we proceeded to the center of town and came to the square, we noticed something like a stone monument in the center of the square.

　I approached the monument and checked it out. There were inscriptions in both the Sacred Script and the Warbearic language. I don't understand the Warbear language, but I can read the Sacramento script.

　The stone monument was inscribed with teachings about a god sealed in Mt. The god is said to be a raging god who sleeps with a sealing sword on the summit of Kumayo.

　As is often the case, there was no description of what kind of god he was in the Sacred Script. Perhaps it is described in the script of Warbear.

　I looked around to make sure there were no warbears nearby, then pulled out my camera and took a picture of the monument.

Now what do we do?"

　We found out that a god is sealed in Kumayo Mountain, but we don't know what kind of god it is. As more and more warbears gather in the plaza, we decide to leave the city once and for all.

　As I left the city, I let out my tense feelings with my breath.

Now we know the 'War Bear Ring' works. Next, let's check out Kumaeo Mountain."

　Activate the "Wing", put on the saddle, and fly up into the sky. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the summit of Mt. A small temple-like structure exists there, but no one is there.

　Entering the temple, one finds a large rock. It is probably the top part of Mt. There was a western sword stuck in the top of it. I examined it with my appraisal monocle.

"Oh, it's the 'Gram' sword."
