Festive-

  One step-

Two step-

And then the third-

"WHAHUH!!!"

The hell was that supposed to mean?

A flick-

Incoming bamboo stick.

"JUmP!" 

We all jumped.

But the short one, Bolgam couldn't jump high enough to dodge and ended up crashing into a tree- spitting up blood.

The Bear was still glaring- waiting.

Was it that it just didn't want us to pass or something!

"Bro!!" Malgam got a bit triggered and ran straight for the bear- 

'Shit-' I ran straight for Bolgam- immediately feeding him a potion.

Wham!

This time, Malgam came flying.

He didn't crash into anything though- and barely got up.

Not in any condition to fight-

Anyway- "I'm sure you're not in the mood for negotiations since I attacked you first but- would you listen?"

It was a really strong bear- and strong, exceptional monsters were almost always somewhat intelligent….
