Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Chapter 480 - Bear-san, Talks To The King, Part 2

Bear-san, Talks To The King, Part 2

King Suou looked around the room again and turned to Fina, who was standing beside me.
“Who is that girl? She doesn’t seem to be an elf.” (King)
“This girl is Fina. Before the Orochi came back to life, wyverns and volglass attacked. Then Shinobu was wounded in the battle and fainted. She’s the one who took care of her.” (Yuna)
I explained about Fina.
“…I’m Fina.”
Fina bowed a little.
King Suou looked at Fina slightly and then turned his gaze to Shinobu.
“Shinobu, are you injured?” (King)
Shinobu has changed her clothes and did not appear to be injured by looking at her appearance alone. The wounds on her shoulder and face have healed, but not the other injuries.
“I was injured when I fought the wyvern, and it still hurts a little, but I’m fine now. Also, my clothes were torn to shreds during the fight, so I changed them.” (Shinobu)
Shinobu grabbed her clothes.
“I hope it wasn’t a serious injury. I’ve always given you trouble.” (King)
She was seriously injured, though.
“It’s just, I didn’t have the strength.” (Shinobu)
“But did you fight the wyverns before you fought the Orochi?” (King)
“As if drawn by the resurrection of the Orochi, the Volglass and wyverns gathered. We had to split up to fight, but there was no one else who could fight at that time, so we had to let Shinobu fight alone.” (Kagali)
We didn’t have enough people and had to include Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
“So the wyverns and the volglass were gathered on the island as if summoned by the Orochi? I knew it.” (King)
“What happened?” (Kagali)
King Suou told us that a horde of monsters appeared out of nowhere and was about to head for the island.
“Because of that, it delayed our initial response and prevented us from gathering the mages.” (King)
“By the way, what happened to those women who were supposed to fight the Orochi? They didn’t come to the island. If they had come, it might have made the battle a little easier.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san’s words reminded me of something. He mentioned that they were gathering women to fight the Orochi, didn’t he?
King Suou looked like he was having trouble saying anything, but he opened his mouth.
“……The women fled.” (King)
“……Ha~a?” (Kagali)
“Once they were near the island, when they saw the Orochi, they lost their will to fight and refused to disembark on the island.” (King)
In other words, it seems that it was a useless plan after all.
But as for me, I would have preferred them not to be there. I would have been traumatized if they had died in front of me.
“Well, only a fool would look at the Orochi and think of fighting it.” (Kagali)
Are you talking about me?
“Or someone who knows they’re strong enough to defeat it.” (Kagali)
Then Kagali-san looks at me.
I seem to be the strong one, not the fool.
“I never thought you would go that far, Kagali.” (King)
“Even I can’t believe it after seeing it with my own eyes. You don’t know what it’s like not to have seen her fight.” (Kagali)
“I wish I could have seen it myself.” (Shinobu)
Shinobu fainted and stayed in my house until the fight with the Orochi was over, so she did not see the battle.
“The more I hear about it, the more it becomes unbelievable.” (King)
“It can’t be helped, even I can’t believe what I saw with my own eyes. So, I have a favor to ask of you, please do not disclose that we were involved in defeating the Orochi this time.” (Kagali)
“Why? If you really defeated the Orochi, why would you need to hide it?” (King)
“We don’t want to make a fuss, we don’t want to stand out. There are many ways to put it, but that’s the way it is. All of us just want to relax. This is the feeling of everyone here.” (Kagali)
“But, is it possible to convince them without telling them about Yuna-sama, Kagali-sama, and Mumroot-sama?” (Sakura)
“If it’s not possible, just pretend that Shinobu defeated it.” (Kagali)
“So why did it come back to that? I don’t want it!” (Shinobu)
Shinobu shouted at Kagali-san’s words.
“That’s easy enough.” (King)
“””…………!”””
Everyone was surprised at King Suou’s words.
“What do you mean? Some of them may wonder who killed Orochi.” (Kagali)
“That’s right. Besides, because of me, some people are already aware of Yuna-sama.” (Sakura)
“Yeah, surely some of them know about Sakura’s prediction. So they should also know about Yuna.” (Kagali)
“That’s why I kept quiet about Yuna-sama.” (Sakura)
“In that case.” (King)
“In what case?” (Kagali)
“All we have to do is keep quiet about her.” (Kagali)
“You say it like it’s the easiest thing in the world, but who’s going to pretend to be the one who defeated it? From what you said, the resurrection of the Orochi is already known. Do you intend to let those men do contract magic too!” (Kagali)
“There’s no way I would go to such troublesome lengths. We could just pretend that the women who gathered to slay the Orochi were the ones who defeated it.” (King)
“But you said it yourself, those women ran away without a fight.” (Kagali)
“Yeah, they did. So whoever gathered those women owes me. That’s why we can make a deal. Don’t tell the truth. We don’t want it to get out that the women you’ve gathered were useless. Besides, who would believe them if they told others that a young girl dressed as a bear had killed Orochi? In the first place, there’s no advantage for them to say such things.” (King)
They didn’t believe what Sakura said, so they gathered the women. That certainly won’t know anything about me. That would be much better than saying they were useless.
“But are you going to let them take credit for it?” (Kagali)
“That’s not the case. We’ll pretend that the women gathered by those who believed in my and Sakura’s words were the main ones who defeated them. In fact, they supported Yuna, whom Sakura said was a beacon of hope. Yuna is a woman. So there’s no lie in there. The women gathered played a supporting role.” (King)
So, in other words, we were the women who defeated the Orochi, and the women who fled played a supporting role in defeating Orochi. Indeed, it would be better to say that they fought against the Orochi even in a supporting role, rather than spreading the word that they escaped.
“But some of them know that the women ran away, right?” (Kagali)
“We could just say, it was another group of women from the other island.” (King)
There are four smaller islands around this island. It seems that no one knows about those islands.
“Besides, it doesn’t matter if they can’t accept that explanation.” (King
It’s not good either way.
“If they refuse, we can insist that by the women we’ve gathered. Although, I’ll have to tell them some parts about Yuna and Kagali. You’ll have to at least allow me to do that.” (King)
I guess that much can’t be helped.
“I hope it doesn’t turn out to be a big deal.” (Kagali)
I hope I’m not seen as the bear who defeated the Orochi in the city.
The last thing I need is for the general populace to find out about it, like in Mereera.
“I don’t mind that much either. They probably know who I am anyway.” (Kagali)
“But are you sure you guys are okay with that? You saved the country. You did something so amazing that they would build a statue of you.” (King)
Suddenly, he said the most outrageous things.
“Don’t ever do that. Absolutely.” (Yuna)
“I decline.” (Mumroot)
“I don’t want that.” (Kagali)
Me, Mumroot-san, and Kagali-san immediately refused.
Ruimin also shook her head and hands to the side and said, “I have nothing to do with it”.
“I see, as expected… It would be a statue of Shinobu then…….” (King)
“Please stop! If they make something like that, I won’t be able to do my job!” (Shinobu)
We all refused it, but if someone saved a country, it would automatically mean building a statue, wouldn’t it?
“But still, I must thank you. I’ll get you the reward money, so you have to give me some time. I have a lot of work to do, and it will take time.” (King)
Well, he can’t just give it to us out in the open if he’s going to keep quiet about us, can he?
“I don’t need money. I just want to live a carefree life. Oh, but I want free booze.” (Kagali)
“Yeah, knowing you, you just want to drink. So, Mumroot. I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for us in the past. If there’s anything I can do, please let me know.” (King)
“I’m just doing what I left undone in the past. And it wasn’t me who defeated it. But if you want to thank me if ever this girl goes to visit Sakura, please allow it.” (Mumroot)
Mumroot-san put his hand on the head of Ruimin, who was sitting next to him.
“Uncle, I too would like to continue to see Ruimin-san.” (Sakura)
“Of course, although it may not be easy to see her since you’ll need her door to get here.” (King)
“When I have time, sure.” (Yuna)
“Thank you, Yuna-sama.” (Sakura)
“Yuna san, thank you.” (Ruimin)
Well, it only takes a few minutes to open the door. As long as I’m not too busy.
“I understand. I’ll grant you my permission.” (King)
Ruimin and Sakura are happy with King Suou’s words.
“So, Yuna. When we met yesterday, you told me that you don’t need money or status after defeating the Orochi, but that you will ask me again for a favor instead.” (King)
Oh, that reminds me.
I was thinking of asking for a house with a hot spring.
“What kind of favor should I fulfill? What can I do for someone who doesn’t need money or status?” (King)
“Etto, a piece of land on which I can build a house?” (Yuna)
“Land, you say?” (King)
“Setting aside what Mumroot-san said earlier, I want to build a house where I can install this door.” (Yuna)
Bear gate. My primary purpose was to install this.
Preferably someplace with a hot spring.
“A house? You don’t mean this bear looking house?” (King)
“So I’d like a discreet place. Or we could go with a regular house, and I’d prefer one that has a hot spring.” (Yuna)
“A piece of land on which you’re building this bear looking house, or a house with hot springs in it. Okay. I’ll check if there is a good place.” (King)
Maybe I can get a house with a private hot spring.
“Is there anything else?” (King)
“I am happy enough that you have done the contract magic for me. If I ever come through the door, just keep quiet.” (Yuna)
“I understand. If there’s anything you’d ask me to do afterward, just let me know.” (King)
As long as he keeps his mouth shut about the bear gate, that’s good enough for me. We can go and see Sakura. Conversely, I can take Sakura to the elf village.
