Bear-san, Fighting Spiders Part 2

Deborane’s POV

Lanz and I split off from the bears, and we proceeded to engage the Giant Spiders.

“Deborane-san, it’s coming from the right.” (Lanz)

I took down the Giant Spider in front of me and immediately turned to the right.

“Orya, you’re dead!” (Deborane)

When Rurina and Gil were there, it was Rurina’s job to check the perimeter. But now that the two were gone, Lanz would let him know the location of the monsters as they fought. He could see not only the enemy in front of him but also what was happening around them.

“Deborane-san, one from behind. I’ll go.” (Lanz)

Lanz precisely slashed the Giant Spider’s legs, stopping it in its tracks when I was unable to move.

In the past, he used only to see the monsters in front of him, but he’s grown up.

I left Lanz to check the surroundings and continued to slay the monsters that caught my eye.

“This time, they’re coming from the left.” (Lanz)

I glanced to my left at Lanz’s words and saw a Giant Spider about to spit out its strings.

I grabbed a knife from my waist and threw it at the Giant Spider’s mouth. The knife pierced into its mouth, and it stopped moving. I finished off the Giant Spider in front of me, and then I quickly killed the other Giant Spider, which was slowed down by the knife in its mouth.

I collected the knife still lodged in the Spider’s mouth and sheathed it back on my hip.

Then Lanz and I moved through the village, taking down more spiders.

“Damn, they just keep showing up one after the other, Lanz, are you okay?! How about your equipment” (Deborane)

“I’m fine. My gears are fine too. But isn’t your sword covered by threads?” (Lanz)

That’s the same with mine. I tried to avoid the Giant Spider’s threads as much as possible, but the threads I couldn’t avoid were wrapped around my sword because I was trying to cut them or block them with my sword.

“After we defeat the monsters here, we’ll trade weapons.” (Deborane)

“Yes.” (Lanz)

After defeating the spider in front of me, Lanz and I exchanged weapons and took a deep breath.

My arms felt heavy.

I’ve been swinging my sword so many times that my arms started fatiguing.

“Lanz, can you still go? If you get tired, go back to the Village Chief’s house.” (Deborane)

“I can still fight.” (Lanz)

“I see.” (Deborane)

One after another, more Giant Spiders appear, but fewer than I expected. That bear must be grinding their numbers down. It was frustrating, but that bear was strong.

When I heard about defeating the Goblin King, I couldn’t believe it. But Rurina saw her take down the Goblin King, and Gil and Lanz confirmed the Goblin King’s corpse that had been brought to the Adventurers’ Guild.

According to Rurina, there were 100 goblins as well. Even if the four of us could defeat the goblins alone, it would be impossible to fight the Goblin King simultaneously. However, that bear defeated 100 goblins and the Goblin King by herself.

How would it have turned out if we had run into the Goblin King and its horde back then?

And when I heard the story of the bear’s defeat of the Black Viper, I thought it was a joke.

But when I learned they would dismantle the Black Viper outside of town, I went to see. The Black Viper had really been defeated.

I touched it, but its skin was hard.

How could such a big monster be defeated?

According to the guild official dismantling it, the fire magic that entered through its mouth went deep into its body and burned it.

According to Rurina, a monster that large would not have been able to let the magic reach inside its body. At best, she explained, it would have to be fired inside its mouth. It would also require a lot of magical power to do that.

She had the power to beat me up, but she also had a talent for magic.

She’s a very powerful woman, even though she was dressed like a bear as a joke.

The thought of having to borrow the power of such a woman made me feel miserable.

“Orya!” (Deborane)

I channeled my irritation into cleaving a Giant Spider.

But I would think of it as a bear defeating a Giant Spider for me.

I’ll make sure that bear keeps her promise to give me the materials.

Speaking of that bear, I sometimes hear yelling in the distance, but I decided not to worry about it. I doubt that that bear could be easily beaten. The fact that I kept hearing it repeatedly meant she was okay.

Above all, the black and white bear was with her, so she should be fine.

Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if the bear felt the same way this time. I, too, find Giant Spiders disgusting, and Lanz, too, was fighting them off with a disgusted look on his face.

But I was an adventurer. If it attacks me, I would just take it down.

“Oriya, die!” (Deborane)

I could hear Deborane and the others from a distance.

Deborane seemed to be doing his best.

I wanted to get home as soon as possible, so I decided to do my best.

Using my detecting skills, I went around with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, focusing on the areas where the Giant Spiders were gathering.

The more Giant Spiders I killed, the easier it would be for Deborane and the others.

It was not for Deborane’s sake.

I just didn’t want to see Deborane being eaten by spiders.

I do not hate Deborane in the first place.

I was harassed only once when I first met him and have not been harassed since then.

Lanz thanked me for my help in defeating the goblins.

However, Deborane’s attitude and arrogance annoyed me.

And he treated me like a bear.

But there were so many spiders.

It was not easy for those who are not strong enough to engage in a fight with such a large number of enemies.

Even in my previous world, just encountering a boar was a big deal. The average person did not have the means to defeat a boar. That’s how dangerous it was. Without bear gear, I wouldn’t even be able to defeat a single Wolf.

I sent out ice arrows and killed the spiders one after another. The spiders stopped attacking me.

The Giant Spiders have started to resort to ambush tactics.

I used my detecting skill to accurately eliminate the Giant Spiders hiding on top of houses, behind houses, on top of trees, behind bushes, and so on.

I was sorry, but I couldn’t let any of them escape for the village’s safety. It was inevitable since the monsters had entered the territory where people were living.

Finally, I finished defeating the spiders that were inside the village.

“This is the last.” (Yuna)

The Giant Spider that was hiding behind the house was defeated.

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, thank you.” (Yuna)

“Kuun.”

With Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear at my back, I felt safe to fight.

If I had been alone, I do not know how many times I would have screamed. My heart might have suffered a lot of EMOTIONAL DAMAGE.

So I couldn’t thank Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear enough for protecting me.

“Are you done?” (Deborane)

Deborane and Lanz approached me as I was petting Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s heads.

I wanted to close my eyes when I saw Deborane and Lanz, both covered in Giant Spider blood and threads.

Maybe adventurers could handle this, but not me.

Just the thought of it gives me chills.

But perhaps it would be the true adventurer’s way of not worrying about having spider threads and blood from monsters on their bodies.

“Looks like it’s over there, too.” (Yuna)

I talked to Deborane and the others, trying not to look directly at them.

“Yeah, now we just need to see if there’s anyone else hiding.” (Deborane)

“Then we’re good to go. I took down the Giant Spiders that were hiding, so they’re no longer in the village.” (Yuna)

I’ve already checked with my detecting skills.

“How do you know that?” (Deborane)

“These two told me.” (Yuna)

I reached out to the Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear on either side of me and patted them.

“They’re very handy bears, aren’t they?” (Deborane)

“So, Deborane-san, I guess, I leave the rest to you.” (Yuna)

“Yes, for the time being. The only problem is the forest where the Giant Spider appeared. There may still be some left.” (Deborane)

Indeed, they say that there are a hundred when you see one creature.

They were also emerging from the forest while we were fighting them. They might have been still in the forest.

At the very least, I should check the nearby forest.

Deborane looked at me.

You’re not going to ask me to go check, are you?

“Hey, bear. We’ll stay in the village. You go report to the Adventurers’ Guild.” (Deborane)

Deborane’s words were unexpected.

“You sure?” (Yuna)

I have detection skills, so I could find them and take them down.

Deborane should have known that Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear could do it, but he didn’t give the order.

No, “Go report to the Adventurers’ Guild” might be an order.

“That bear will get you back to the capital quickly, right?” (Deborane)

Deborane looked at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“Yes, but…” (Yuna)

“Then get going. I’ll make sure the Giant Spider is taken care of as promised.” (Deborane)

“Okay.” (Yuna)

Despite how he said it, I took Deborane at his word at face value this time.

I didn’t want to fight any more spiders, and if the other adventurers would take care of the rest, I would leave it to them. So I decided to go along with Deborane’s idea.
