Kumatetsu found you a while ago, shortly after finding Kyuta. You were arguing with a human man, you were in danger. He helped you, took you with him to the beast world, healed your wounds, fed you. Now, months later, Kumatetsu looked at you with admiration. Your weak body had grown stronger thanks to helping Kyuta with his training, working harvesting tea just like him.

One afternoon, after work, the beastman suggested a short break at the local onsen. You accepted immediately; you felt tense, and a hot bath would probably help relax your muscles.

Kyuta is progressing rapidly in his training... The bear growled. Sunk up to his torso in the hot water. Largely thanks to you...
