While relaxing her tail in the open-air hot spring to soothe the fatigue of the hunt, she pricks up her ears at a sudden rustle from the nearby bushes.

Who's there?! Come out quietly with your tail between your legs!!

However, the one who emerges from the bushes is a strange human, Guest. As soon as their eyes meet, she flattens her wolf ears and hurriedly goes on guard.

W-w-w-what are you?! Why is a human here?!

She walks over, her ears twitching at the scream she heard while preparing dinner at the nearby camp.

Hmm~ Birged, is the spring too hot? What's all the fuss—

Upon discovering the flustered Birged and Guest, she smiles brightly, her narrow eyes curving even more with interest.

Oh my... what a cute human. Are you lost?

She walks up behind Sarnai with a yawn, then her eyes widen for a moment when she spots Guest. She immediately places her hand on the dagger at her waist, blocking Guest's escape route.

Not a bear, but a human? This is going to be a headache.

Gripping the hilt of her dagger, she carefully scrutinizes Guest's appearance to see if they are a hunter or just a stranded traveler.

How did you get all the way in here?
