Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Chapter 516

Chapter 516Bear-san, Joins Shia

Pechipechi~
I was hit by something soft and fluffy. When I opened my eyes, I saw Hugging Bear slapping my cheeks. I looked at the window and saw that the sun was beginning to rise.
It looks like it’s morning already.
I get up with Hugging Bear in my arms.!!
It was a soft and fluffy bed, but if anything, the polar bear costume helped me sleep soundly. It’s a lovely morning after a long day.
I got out of bed, trying not to wake Noa, who was sleeping next to me, and changed into my uniform before someone arrived.
Hugging Bear looked disappointed, so I patted his head.
“Only when I’m in this city, okay?” (Yuna)
I slipped my arms into the sleeves of my uniform and finished changing.
Next, I turned my attention to Noa, who was sleeping in her bed. Noa was sleeping comfortably with Swaying Bear in her arms.
It’s time to wake them up.
“Swaying Bear, wake her up.” (Yuna)
Swaying Bear slipped out of Noa’s arms and smacked her in the face.
That’s a bear punch.
“U~u, please stop!” (Noa)
Noa brushed off Swaying Bear’s paws.
“Hey, Noa, it’s time to get up.” (Yuna)
“Please let me sleep a little longer.” (Noa)
That’s not happening.
Then it’s time for the next step.
I gave orders to Swaying Bear.
“Swaying Bear, GO!” (Yuna)
Swaying Bear climbed up Noa’s sleeping body. Swaying Bear then covers Noa’s face.
Gradually, Noa, feeling suffocated, got up.
“It’s painful!” (Noa)
Swaying Bear succeeded in waking Noa up.
“Yuna-san, that’s terrible.” (Noa)
I was also angry when Swaying Bear woke me up that way.
“It’s Noa’s fault for not getting up sooner.” (Yuna)
You should be thankful that he didn’t divebomb onto your stomach. That was dangerous, so I had to stop him.
“Yes, but I wanted Swaying Bear-chan to wake me up gently as well.” (Noa)
Noa looked at Swaying Bear, who woke her up.
“No, he woke you up gently first.” (Yuna)
By Pechipechi~
“Is that so?” (Noa)
At Noa’s question, Swaying Bear nodded and cried, `ku~u ~ n‘.
“You still didn’t get up, so he went the hard way.” (Yuna)
“I was tired because of all the things that happened yesterday, but next time, please wake me up a little more gently.” (Noa)
Swaying Bear replied with, `ku~u ~ n‘.
“Anyway, now that you’re up, get dressed before someone else comes in.” (Yuna)
I can’t let her dress as a bear forever. If a maid comes, she’ll be surprised.
Noa took off her bear uniform and began to change. I repatriated Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear while Noa was changing.
Then Noa changed her clothes, and after a while, Cereille came into the room.
“Did you both have a good rest?” (Cereille)
Chirachira. (チラチラ。)
Cereille was looking around the room as she asked.
“Yes, I was able to sleep well until morning.” (Yuna)
“Yeah, somehow.” (Noa)
“…The bears are not here, I see.” (Cereille)
Oh, she has been looking for Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear since a while ago.
“I repatriated them already.” (Yuna)
“Is that so……” (Cereille)
Cereille looked a little disappointed. Did she really want to see them so badly?
I summoned Swaying Bear in front of her to try it out. Cereille quickly smiled. But when I sent him back, she looked sad.
Her facial expression changes a lot, unlike when we first met.
“Yuna-san, I think that’s terrible of you.” (Noa)
I was enjoying watching Cereille’s reaction, but Noa got mad at me.
I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to stay with us until breakfast time, including an apology.
After breakfast, we head to the school with Cereille.
“Do you always walk? You don’t take a carriage or something?” (Yuna)
She is a noblewoman. I think she should be riding a carriage, but I remember she was walking alone yesterday.
“Well, it’s nice to take a walk in the morning, so I walk to school. I love this city after all.” (Cereille)
Cereille smiled.
Then, as we talked, we arrived at the school and saw Shia in her uniform.
“Oneesama, we’re here.” (Noa)
Noa ran out happily when she saw Shia. Cereille and I followed her.
“Why are you with Cereille?” (Shia)
Noa explained what happened yesterday.
“That’s why we stayed at her house for one day.” (Noa)
“Actually, you could have stayed for more than just a day while you were in the city.” (Cereille)
“No, as I told you yesterday if I, accept the favors of Cereille-sama any more than that, I will be in trouble if Oneesama and Cereille-sama have a match.” (Noa)
Noa refuses with the same words as yesterday without being rude.
“That’s a shame.” (Cereille)
For some reason, Cereille looked at me, not Noa.
Do you want to be with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear that badly?
“Sorry I can’t go with you, but I hope you all enjoy the city.” (Cereille)
“Thank you, Cereille.” (Yuna)
“Thank you, Cereille-sama.” (Noa)
Cereille went into the school.
“Well then, let’s go, too.” (Shia)
Contrary to Cereille, we started walking away from the school.
“So, where shall we go?” (Shia)
“I want to buy souvenirs for Mother and Father.” (Noa)
“Then we should have asked Cereille yesterday.” (Yuna)
“No, I wanted to choose with Oneesama.” (Noa)
“Fufu, Noa, thank you. Then, let’s choose together.” (Shia)
“Yes!” (Noa)
I wonder if I should buy one for Fina too.
“But Shia, wouldn’t the best souvenir be a story about your success at the event?” (Yuna)
Normally, for parents, their children’s success story was the best souvenir they could get.
“That’s right. When we get back to town, I’ll tell Father about Oneesama’s exploits.” (Noa)
“Don’t put pressure on me.” (Shia)
We burst into laughter.
I want Shia to play an active role.
We go around to different places, looking for souvenirs to give to Eleanora-san and Cliff, and to look for something to eat.
“It was delicious.” (Noa)
“I had it with all the students the other night, and it was so good, I thought I’d share it with Noa.” (Shia)
After finishing our meal, we walked down one of the eight main streets. We thought we might get lost because the streets are all similar.
“Is that the Adventurers Guild?” (Yuna)
There was a large building up ahead, with a signboard for the Adventurers Guild.
“Shia, are you still going to the Adventurer’s Guild?” (Yuna)
“I sometimes go with Marcus. But lately, he seems to be going with another girl who is aiming for the same knighthood as him.” (Shia)
I see.
Were the monsters around here the same as near Crimonia?
Or were there monsters I’ve never seen before?
The Land of Harmony had different monsters and magic stones. As a former gamer, I am a little concerned.
“Yuna-san, would you like to come in?” (Noa)
Noa asked me when she saw me looking at the Adventurer’s Guild.
“This time I am Noa’s escort, and I came to support Shia, so it’s okay.” (Yuna)
“Yuna-san, you’re an adventurer, so don’t worry about it. Besides, you looked like you wanted to go in.” (Shia)
Does it show on my face that much?
I rubbed my face with my bear puppet.
“And I’d like to go to the Adventurers’ Guild, too, because it’s not a place I can get into very often.” (Noa)
“But it’s dangerous. We may get entangled with adventurers.” (Yuna)
“Really?” (Noa)
“When I first went to Crimonia and the Adventurers’ Guild in the royal capital, I got tangled up and had to fight.” (Yuna)
I wasn’t even doing anything.
“That’s……” (Shia)
“That is……” (Noa)
They both look at me.
“What?” (Yuna)
“Isn’t it because you were dressed as a bear?” (Shia)
“I think so, too.” (Noa)
Certainly, I feel like I get involved in troublesome things because of my bear outfit.
If nothing else. I also think it was because I looked like a little girl.
“Well, you’re wearing a uniform this time, so it’ll be okay.” (Shia)
Is that right?
Shia pulled me into the Adventurers’ Guild.
“There are few people.” (Noa)
Noa is correct, there are not many adventurers here. Not that there aren’t any, but only a few people are sitting in the chairs in the corner.
“Are they all outside working?” (Yuna)
Time-wise, it should be working hours. But there were a good number of adventurers at the adventurers’ guilds in Crimonia and the royal capital who were resting at this time, gathering information, or looking for work tomorrow.
But no such adventurers were doing such things in this Adventurers’ Guild. Furthermore, the receptionist looked bored, as if she had nothing to do.
“Do you guys want to talk to the Adventurers’ Guild?” (Lady)
When our eyes met the Lady, she called out to us.
“Is that a student’s uniform of the royal capital?” (Lady)
“Yes, I’m a student of the royal capital. I came to participate in the magical exchange meet.” (Shia)
“I see. So how did you students end up in the Adventurers’ Guild?” (Lady)
“Well, we’re exploring the city.” (Noa)
“Oh, so a future adventurer? It’s nice to see a youngster like you.” (Lady)
“I’m registered in the Adventurer’s Guild, so I came to see how it’s different from the royal capital.” (Shia)
“Oh, is that so? Well, as you can see, we’re not busy, so take your time and have a look.” (Lady)
“Anou, why aren’t there any adventurers?” (Yuna)
“They went to work.” (Lady)
“I was just wondering why there were so few people here.” (Yuna)
As I said before, it was strange that a town this big has so few people in the Adventurer’s Guild.
“I don’t know if it’s known to the royal capital. But at this time of the year, the number of monsters in the area decreases. That’s why all the good adventurers go to other cities. That’s why the number of adventurers is inevitably few this time of year.” (Lady)
In other words, there are not many adventurers here because they migrated to other places.
“Is there such a thing as fewer monsters around this time of year?” (Yuna)
I asked Shia.
“The monsters that tend to appear will differ depending on the season. So I don’t think it will be any different during these warmer months.” (Shia)
“Certainly, but it’s been like this since a few years ago, I think? At this time, the sighting information of monsters disappears. If a strong monster appears, the weaker monsters may escape and disappear. As far as the adventurers have investigated, it’s peaceful in itself, however, after a while, the monsters will come back. It’s really strange. ” (Lady)
When a strong monster appears, the weaker monsters would be driven out. I experienced it during my fight against a black tiger.
Maybe there were only small and strong monsters?
“So that’s why there were no adventurers here.” (Yuna)
“Yeah. That’s why I’m not busy because there are no adventurers here.” (Lady)
So it seems that this Lady thought she had found a nice person to talk to.
As a result, I had to accompany the Lady who was spending her spare time with me.
I wanted to hear more about this Adventurer’s Guild branch, but the Guild Lady wanted to hear the story of the royal capital.
I broke off the conversation at the right moment because we were wasting time at this point.
“Well then, please excuse us.” (Yuna)
“Are you going? I wanted to hear more about the royal capital.” (Lady)
“But there’s an angry person behind you.” (Yuna)
The receptionist looked behind her and saw a man with a scary look on his face.
“…Guildmaster.” (Lady)
“Stop slacking off and get back to work!” (Guildmaster)
“I’m gathering information about the royal capital.” (Lady)
We left the guild while the receptionist was making excuses to the guildmaster.
