The appearance of a mysterious bear

Awa turned her head and said, "I will go inside because my legs are tired." As she turned her body around, her legs felt weak, and her legs tripped on each other.

Vincent noticed Awa was about to fall. He leaned forward and extended his hands to catch the falling Awa. He swiftly caught Awa and sighed in relief. Awa was not going to need extra medical attention from the new injuries.

Vincent lifted Awa like a princess and promised, "Do not be in a rush Awa. I promise to take you home at all costs if you accept to be escorted back to your family or come with me to mine."

"No." Awa rejected without hesitation. "What if we encounter the lord of this forest, the Great Orso? Are you saying you are mighty enough to protect me from it?"

[Orso? Doesn't that translate to a bear? Is that the reason Awa stared at the bears strangely, as if she tried to find something?] Kazumi curiously questioned.
