360 Bear-san Makes a Water-slide (Day 4)
Credits to: Philip, valiant
After getting out of the bath, the seafood dishes such as fish and octopus caught in the sea lined up on the table for dinner that night.
At the table, each child was joyfully talking about today’s events.
[Yuna-oneesan, what are you going to do tomorrow?] Fina[We came to the sea, so we should play in the sea. You’re not getting tired of it, are you?] Yuna
[Un. It’s fun.] Fina
I can’t see a lie in that smile.
Tomorrow, I will play with them in the sea like the first day. I was thinking of going to a mysterious island with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, but I got invited by Fina and Noa. So if I refused here, they might get suspicious of me, so I decided to go to the sea together with everyone.
If I go to the sea, I might think of a good idea and make something for the children in the playground. If I create a playground, I may be able to sneak out and go to the mysterious island while the rest are playing in the playground.
The next day, after having breakfast, the children return to their rooms to prepare for the sea. I also tried to return to my room to change into my swimwear in order to create a playground in the sea. I already wore it once, so I’ll be fine for the second or third time. Even though I have become accustomed to the bear costume after wearing it for a long time. I have less reluctance the second time I’m wearing that swimsuit than when I wore it the first time.
……Or so I thought. But when I tried to return to my room, that idea collapsed with the words Sherry gave me.
[Yuna-san, which swimsuit will you wear today?] Sherry
Needless to say, my brain stopped at that moment. People say that when they are surprised, they can’t speak, but it may be true. At that time, I said <Eh?> and no more words came out. By the time I got back to myself, it was already late. Sherry said, <I’m looking forward to it,> and after that, she went to the girls’ room.
Well, does that mean I have to wear a different swimsuit? What’s more, do I have to wear a different swimsuit every time I go to the sea?
If I change my swimsuit every time I go to the sea, I will have to choose my swimsuit a couple of times, including this time.
Even if I refuse, I can’t think of any excuse. I can’t tell Sherry that I don’t want to wear the other swimsuits. I couldn’t find the words to refuse immediately. And while I was at a loss, I arrived at my room on the third floor.
But then, there were three people standing in front of my room, Noa, Shia, and Misa, who had already changed into their swimsuits.
[Yuna-san, lend me Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan. We’ll play with the children in the orphanage, so please.] Noa
[It’s fine, but you can’t hog them all to yourself.] Yuna
[Yes, I promise.] Noa
When I opened the door of my room, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were curled up on the bed. As we entered the room, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear came to us. I told them to play with Noa and the children then I returned them to their normal size.
[Thank you, Yuna-san.] Noa
Noa, Misa, and Shia happily went down the stairs together with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
Well, I lent them without thinking, so I may have failed my plan to go to the mysterious island. This was also because I was distracted by the swimwear and couldn’t think about anything else. Later, I had to give a reason and have one of them returned to me.
For the time being, I have to clear the problem in front of me.
I lined up my swimsuits on the bed. At the very least, the fact that there are many different types, and that I wasn’t forced to pick a school swimsuit are my salvation. The criterion for choosing my swimsuit is which one I don’t want to wear the least.
In that case, the number of swimsuits that I could wear will inevitably decrease. And the remaining swimsuit comes down to a two-piece swimsuit using white and black colors. I can see my stomach, but I put up with it.
I just ate breakfast, but it’s okay. I touched my abdomen. It doesn’t seem to be bloated since my body shape isn’t bad.
Looking at my puyo puyo(soft as jelly) arms, I think it’s better to train my body a little and build muscle. However, I’ve been doing muscle training many times in the past, but I’ve never had a long-lasting one.
I wish I could do muscle training even with the bear costume equipped. But there is no way I could do that. I sigh a little.
Even so, unlike a one-piece swimsuit, a two-piece swimsuit with a lot of exposed skin is embarrassing. But I keep telling myself that it’s better than a bikini. The question is, however, whether there will be a third or fourth time. At worst, it might be good for Sherry to know that I decided that these two will be my favorites.
I changed into a two-piece swimsuit and put bear equipment on my hands and feet as usual.
I’d like to wrap a big towel here to hide my body, but Sherry is waiting outside the room. Sherry came to me while I was choosing a swimsuit. I told her to go to the sea first because I’m still changing my clothes, but Sherry said she will wait outside the room.
I took a deep breath mustering all my courage and left the room. Standing outside of the room is Sherry in a swimsuit. The name <Sherry> is written on the chest. When Sherry looks at me, she smiles like a blooming flower.
[Yuna-oneechan, the one-piece swimsuit you wore the day before yesterday looked good, but that two-piece swimsuit looks good too. Fina-chan and Shuri-chan think so too, right?] Sherry
Sherry asked Fina and Shuri that were standing behind her to confirm.
[Yes, Yuna-oneesan, it looks good on you.] Fina
[Yuna-oneechan is beautiful.] Shuri
[Th, thank you.] Yuna
I think my face may have been cramped.
Still, the words of these three are too sweet. So I’m not sure if it really suits me, but I’m happy because Sherry is happy. However, Sherry looked at my swimsuit and muttered in a soft voice, <Should I change this part?> Or <Maybe another color is good for Yuna-oneechan>.
When I asked her to embroider a bear for Anzu and her group’s aprons back then, she wasn’t confident in herself. However, after she started working at a sewing shop, it seems to have changed her. I think it’s a good thing, but I also feel nostalgic for the old Sherry.
After the swimsuit was unveiled, I went to the sea together with Fina and Shuri, along with Sherry who they had been waiting together with.
When we arrived at the sea, I can see the children already playing. The little ones are playing in the pool I made. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are playing around Noa. It seems that she is playing without monopolizing them as promised. Sherry also goes into Noa’s circle.
There is a figure of the director looking at the children from a distance. It is dangerous to stay outside in such strong sunlight for a long time, so I decided to take out the beach house and have her rest there.
[Director, if a child got tired, please let them rest here.] Yuna
Hydration is also important.
After entrusting the seaside house to the director. I planned to make something.
[What do you want us to help you with, Yuna-oneesan?] Fina
[I just want to ask Fina and Shuri for confirmation.] Yuna
[Confirmation?] Fina
Fina tilts her head a little.
I took Fina and Shuri and move a little further away from the seaside house.
Is it okay around here?
There are no obstacles or people around.
When I stand facing the sea, I created a big bear on the shore like those I made when I subdued the Kraken. The bear stands on both feet as if looking toward the sea. Of course, the bear’s appearance is deformed. And the reason for making it a bear is because it becomes sturdier.
[Bear-san!] Fina
[It’s big!] Shuri
Shuri and Fina look up at the big bear.
When I approached the bear, I made a hole in the back of the bear’s leg and went inside. The inside of the bear is hollow. Since the inside is dark, I put out a ball of light.
The ball of light with the face of a bear illuminates the inside of the bear’s body.
Brightening the inside of the bear, I built a spiral staircase up to the head. Then, climb the stairs and made a hole when I reached the position of the bear’s belly. The sea spreads out in front of me. I made a slide towards the sea. Finally, I attached a water magic stone at the starting point of the slide and let the water flow from the magic stone. And there you have a water-slide.
[Fina, try sliding onto this.] Yuna
Back at the stairs, I asked Fina, who was watching what I was doing. Then, Shuri appears from the side of Fina.
[Yuna-oneechan, what is this!?] Shuri
[Etto, this is a water-slide, it’s something that you can slide and play with.] Yuna
[You can slide on it?] Shuri
[Yeah, just sit here and slide towards the sea.] Yuna
[Can I slide on it?] Shuri
[I don’t mind.] Yuna
I asked Fina, but Shuri seems to want to do it, so I give her my permission.
[Shuri, wait a minute!] Fina
Fina tried to stop Shuri, but it’s too late and Shuri began to slide on the water-slide. Fina was shouting, but Shuri slid safely and landed in the sea. If you follow the rules and play properly, there is nothing dangerous about it, so you don’t have to worry too much.
When Shuri resurfaced from the sea, she ran up the stairs at a tremendous speed.
[Yuna-oneechan. Is it okay to slide again?] Shuri
The soaked Shuri asked intensely, with a lively expression. There’s water still running down from her hair.
Apparently, Shuri liked it.
[I’ll make more, so wait there for a bit.] Yuna
I go up the spiral staircase and arrive at the bear’s mouth to make a hole. The height was doubled. The view is also good. I made a water-slide starting from the bear’s mouth.
This is for the advanced users so I made it curve, spiral, and slope. Of course, I didn’t forget to consider their safety so that they don’t launch outside of the slide.
Lastly, I installed the water magic stone and it’s done.
[Fina, come here.] Yuna
When I called out to Fina, she seemed to be too scared to climb the stairs.
[I want to slide!] Shuri
Shuri vigorously raised her hand, but Fina said, <I’m heading first because it’s dangerous>.
I have included safety measures, so it’s not that dangerous, but she seems to be worried about her sister.
[Now then, sit here.] Yuna
I grabbed Fina’s shoulders and let her sit down.
[Yu, Yuna-oneesan. Pl, please, wait a minute.] Fina
[You mustn’t stand.] Yuna
[Do, don’t push!] Fina
I gently pushed Fina’s back, who seems to be scared. Fina screams while sliding down the water-slide. She slides to a curve, then around a spiral, and finally lands after a slope.
Yeah, should feel good.
When Fina resurfaced, she seemed to be saying something to me, but I couldn’t hear it.
[Yuna-oneechan, me too!] Shuri
While I was looking at Fina below, Shuri was already coming up. She’s looking at me with her sparkling eyes.
[Sit down properly.] Shuri
[Un!] Shuri
Unlike Fina, Shuri goes to slide by herself. Fina comes up.
[U~, Yuna-oneesan is terrible.] Fina
[Was it boring?] Yuna
[I was a little scared, but it was fun, but I at least wanted to be prepared.] Fina
I made it with great effort, so I will try to slide on it once. If I don’t personally check for danger, it’ll be dangerous for children to use the slide.
I put my bear shoes in the bear box and sat on the water-slide. The water hits my butt. Then, I started to slide vigorously.
Oh, it sways from side to side and turns around in a spiral. There’s a slope at the end and then I landed on the water. the salty water splashed on my face.
It was my first experience, but it was fun. It may be I’ll make one a little higher. However, there are many young children, so this time it is enough.
When I got out of the sea, Noa and the children were gathering at the shore.
[Yuna-san, what is this!] Noa
[Yuna-oneechan, I want to play too.]
[Wait a minute.] Yuna
I called Gill and Lurina-san and taught them how to use the slide properly. Never stand. Don’t run, wait for your turn. Do not slide dangerously. Wait until the person in front has finished sliding. I explained things such as sliding and asking them to supervise.
Before the children started to play, since the inside of the bear is dark I made some windows to let in the outside light.
Yeah, that’s how it should be.
The kids start playing on the water-slide, but the magicians were looking at the bear-water-slide in a daze.
[I can’t believe she used magic for this.] Eru
[But as a fellow magician, I’m quite jealous.] Lurina
The magicians, Eru and Lurina-san, gave such an impression.
But other adults such as Karin-san, Elena-san, Anzu, and the others, are happily playing with the children.
The children, including Noa, started playing on the bear water-slide. When I looked around at the sandy beach, I saw Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, whose existence seemed to be forgotten by the children.
It’s a pity, but it seems that they were released safely. Can I go to the mysterious island with this?
Author’s Note:
And so, a big bear was erected in the shores of Mereera w
However, it seems that we can start exploring while the water-slide is attracting attention.
I hope I could do it.
Translator’s Note:
