Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear
chapter-623

Bear-san, went to see Sanya-san

“I still can”t believe it. Who would have thought that this thing can instantly bring us to the Royal Capital.”

Tirumina-san said as she looked around the Bear Transfer Gate.

Well, I wouldn’t believe it myself either if there somebody claimed that such a teleportation door exists in my former world.

It was like a tool that everyone dreamed of in the cat-shaped robot anime, where you could go anywhere you wanted once you opened the door. It was a similar magic tool.

But it wasn’t as convenient as in the cat-shaped robot anime because it didn’t allow you to go anywhere you wanted to go.

So I wouldn’t be able to move to any bathrooms.

“Okay then, let’s go.”

I opened the door of the Bear Transfer Gate. Beyond the door was a room in the Bear House in the Royal Capital.

The layout of the room was similar to Crimonia’s, but Tirumina-san had never stayed at the Bear House in the Royal Capital, so I gave her a quick tour of the Bear House.

“The bathrooms are there, the toilets are there, and there are guest rooms upstairs, so Tirumina-san and the others can use those.”

There were only two beds in the guest room, so if the three of them were going to sleep in the same room, I would need to prepare another one.

We could discuss that later, I guess.

“Thank you. I’ll take care of your meals during your stay.”

“I’ll clean Bear bath!”

Shuri raised her hand.

“Well, I suppose I’ll accept your kind offer then.”

Tirumina-san’s food was delicious, I was looking forward to it.

“Well, then, I’ll-“

“Fina, you have something to do. You should focus on that.”

Fina tried to think of what she could help with, but Tirumina-san stopped her.

“…but…”

“You’re always working so hard, you can count on us at least at a time like this.”

“…Mother. Thank you.”

“Well then, Fina and I are going to the Adventurers’ Guild, what about you, Tirumina-san?”

“Should I at least pay her a visit and say hello?”

“I’m coming along too!”

Shuri also raised her hand.

“That embarrassing for me, mom, do you really have to”

“Well, I will be leaving my daughter in her care after all.”

Fina refused her suggestion, but Tirumina-san wouldn’t back down.

“Ugh.”

In the end, Tirumina-san pushed through, and we all decided to go to the Adventurers’ Guild.

“I also thought about it the last time I was here, but there are so many people in the Royal Capital.”

“Yes.”

“And the last time I was here, I also thought that everyone was looking at Yuna-chan.”

Whenever I walked around, people always looked at me as I passed them.

“I tend to forget this when I’m in Crimonia, but I guess Yuna-chan’s outfit really stands out.”

In Crimonia, where we live, seeing me or children in bear outfits had become so familiar that people rarely point at me as a “bear” anymore.

But in the Royal Capital, people still point at me or stare at me.

We arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild with such stares.

“Things haven’t changed, have they?”

“Come to think of it, you were a former adventurer, right?”

“That was before Fina was born.”

Just as we were about to head to the reception desk, a group of adventurers noticed me and started to make a commotion.

“It’s a bear,” “That’s… cute,” “She was in the capital,” “Who is she?” What’s with the outfit?”

There were a variety of reactions when they saw me.

I rarely visit the Adventurers’ Guild in the capital, so some of them did not even know who I was.

“Yuna-chan, what did you do at the Adventurers’ Guild?”

Seeing the reaction of the adventurers who seemed to know me, Tirumina-san looked at me with a stern look.

“I didn’t really do anything.”

“By the way, does Fina know?”

“No.”

Fina shook her head.

I would usually go to the Adventurers’ Guild by myself, so Fina would not know about it.

“Well, knowing Yuna-chan, I guess you just turned the tables on some adventurers who got involved, didn’t you?”

She instantly knew.

As we were about to continuetalking about the subject,

“Hey, girl. Long time no see.”

A large man speaks to me in a familiar manner.

It was a familiar face.

“Uhhh…”

“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten me.”

I remember him. He was the adventurer who pushed Karina out of his way when I went to the desert and helped me with chores after the subjugation of a large number of sandworms.

I just didn’t remember his name.

“I remember you. It’s been a long time.”

He talked to me in a friendly manner, as if he knew my name as well as how I knew him.

“Jade-san told me about you, saying that you haven’t broken your silence.”

I mentioned in a vague way about the big Scorpion, since we were in the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Yeah, I promised.”

When I defeated the big Scorpion, I gave him a piece of the Scorpion’s shell as hush money. Or, more accurately, in exchange for Sandworm magic stones.

“Thanks to you, I was able to strengthen my party members’ gears.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“So, what are you doing here in this sweltering place with your group of pretty girls?”

The man looked at Fina, Shuri, and then at Tirumina-san.

“We’re here because the Guildmaster, Sanya-san, summoned us.”

“The Guildmaster?”

The man blushed.

“What? Are you so close enough to the Guildmaster to be summoned by her?”

“Well, I guess you could say I’m close, I’ve been to Sanya-san’s parents’ house, I’ve greeted her parents…”

“What?”

“You went to the Guildmaster’s parents’ house to greet her parents?”

Not only the guy, but everyone around him reacted for some reason.

Could they be all after Sanya-san?

Well, Sanya-san was beautiful, and unlike me, I knew she was popular.

“If you’re after Sanya-san, I think you should give up.”

“Why?”

“Because…”

I was about to answer that it was because she had a local fiancée, when I felt a strong killing intent, so I closed my mouth.

“Oh my, Yuna-chan, you talk about interesting things.”

Sanya-san came over with a smile on her face.

Behind that smile, I could see the face of Hannya, whom I should not have been able to see.

“It’s nothing.”

The mouth could be the source of disaster.

There was no need to wake the Hannya up by saying something unnecessary.

(editor: basically think of a vengeful reaper ghost)

Sanya-san brought us to her office.

“Yuna-chan, you don’t have to say anything else.”

“I just feel sorry for those who are hopeful.”

“I’m not trying to hide anything. It is embarrassing, you see.”

But I think they would be more shocked to find out that there was actually a man in her hometown waiting for her when they thought they didn’t have a man in sight around her.

“So, what about the two over there?”

Sanya-san turned to Tirumina-san and Shuri.

“Fina’s mother, Tirumina-san, and her sister, Shuri, are here to support Fina’s participation in the dismantling event.”

“Oh, so you’re participating then, Fina-san?”

“My dad says it will be a great experience.”

“Yes, it will be a good learning experience, because you will be able to see other participants’ dismantling techniques.”

It would indeed be a good learning experience.

I have learned from watching other people’s fighting techniques even in video games.

“But first of all, Sanya-san, were you aware that Fina could dismantle things?”

They had not met that many times.

“Oh, about that. That’s because I talked to Ellelaura-sama about this dismantling event, and she told me about Fina-san.”

“Ellelaura-san?”

“I told her that we are doing this every year, but I thought it would be fun to see if we could get the kids involved in the dismantling.”

It was true that if a child worked hard alongside an adult, one would want to cheer her on, especially if it was a cute little girl like Fina.

“And that’s not all. The quality of young people’s dismantling skills has gone downhill lately. I want to improve things regarding that even a little. So I hope that when they see a cute girl like Fina-san dismantling, they will think that they can’t be beaten.”

I see. If a man could see a younger girl dismantling something, he would think that he should not be outdone.

Not that it would only be men who participate, though.

“I…”

“You don’t have to be so tense, Fina-san, just do your dismantling as usual.”

“…yes.”

“Well then, do your best.”

Sanya-san shook Fina’s hand.

“Also, can we hear more details about this dismantling event?”

“Well, Fina-san will be participating in the 19 and under category.”

Sanya-san told me that the event will be divided into two categories: under 19 and over 20.

It was to separate amateurs and veterans.

She said it was difficult to make a general distinction based on the length of experience, but they were separated based on their age groups.

Fina should be able to compete in the 19-and-under division.

“So, what does the event entail?”

“Simply put, it’s a competition of dismantling skills and knowledge, I suppose?”

“Knowledge?”

I understood dismantling techniques, but the knowledge part didn’t really connect with me.

“Knowledge of monsters and animals, and whether the order of dismantling is correct. And they can dismantle monsters that they have never dismantled before?”

“If it’s a monster they have never dismantled before, won’t they not be able to proceed?”

“Well, maybe they have some knowledge from reading books or watching their seniors dismantle monsters.”

I see, so that would be the knowledge part.

“So, what kind of monsters will they dismantle?”

“That’s something even I can’t tell you, Yuna-chan. It would be a problem if they study beforehand. However, the 19 and underage group in which Fina-san will be participating will not have anything weird included.”

Wolf or goblin? I think it might be somewhere around there.

But I doubt there will be goblins since there were no parts to dismantle from them, except for their magic stone.

And maybe a Horned Rabbit?

“There are still a few days before the event, so you can relax until then. Of course, I will be the sponsor for your stay.”

“Fina and the others will stay at my place, so don’t worry.”

Fina shook her head in confirmation at my words.

“Fufu, so they will stay at Bear house, huh?”

Sanya-san smiled.

I wondered why she was smiling.

“Well then, feel free to spend this allowance.”

Sanya-san pulled out a small bag from her item bag and handed it to Fina.

“You can think of this as a request from the Adventurers’ Guild to Fina-san.”

“Request…Yuna Onee-chan…mother…”

Fina looked at me and Tirumina-san with a troubled expression.

“Fina, take it. If you accept the job, it’s your money.”

“Mother…”

“But now that you’ve received the money, make sure you do your job well.”

“…Yes, I’ll do my best.”

Fina received the money from Sanya-san.

“Here, Yuna Onee-chan.”

For some reason, Fina offered me the money she had received.

“Why are you giving it to me?”

“Because we’re staying at Yuna Onee-chan’s house.”

“There is no need. The money is Fina’s money.”

“But…”

“Doesn’t Fina think of me as a friend?”

I was a little embarrassed. But I asked.

“No, no, Yuna Onee-chan is a dear friend.”

“Then please keep the money.”

“…Yeah, okay.”

Fina seemed to understand and put the money away.

“Fufu, it’s nice to be young.”

Sanya-san and Tirumina-san looked at me and Fina, smiling.

I felt embarrassed.

Shuri said, “I’m your friend too!” and hugged me.

Well, they were just like my cute little sisters.
