Bear-san, Reports to Balima Part 2

After switching the magic stones, we returned to the city. However, after entering the town, while we were walking towards Balima-sans residence, the atmosphere of the town seems to be different.

First, the people who pa.s.s each other are quite a few. Im not proud of it, but whenever I walked down the street, I attracted the peoples line of sights.

But it suddenly decreased.

[Whats going on?] Yuna

[I dont know.] Karina

We hurried back to the mansion so we went near the lake. There was a crowd around the lake. Everyone was looking at the lake.

[What the h.e.l.l is that?] Resident A

[Did you notice that the water has increased somehow?] Resident B

[But it was lesser than this just a while ago and it increased all of a sudden? I dont think anyone was expecting that.] Resident C

Well, thats true, if you think about it normally.

Other than that, I cant think of any reason as to why people are gathering at the lake. But even if Karina says theres more water now, I didnt expect that the lakes water wouldve increased enough to be noticed it so easily.

It shouldve taken a few days for someone to notice it. Even if I saw it, Im not sure what to say.

[Bear? Karina-sama?] Resident D

One of the residents noticed Karina.

To be precise, he noticed Karina because he became aware of my existence. Other residents who heard Karinas name turned their eyes to us.

[Karina-sama, what happened to the water in the lake?] Resident E

[Balima-sama told us to wait for a while, but how did this happen? Has the lake returned to its original state?] Resident F

[Karina-sama!] Resident G

The residents approached us. I took one step forward to protect Karina.

[I cant answer it right now. But what happened? Ive been out of town until now, so I dont know why everyone is at the lake.] Karina

[The water level, the water column came up.] Resident A

The residents excitedly replied.

A water column is that a water pillar? Like water spouts?

[Everyone gathered at the lake because they thought the water of the lake might have returned. Some of them went to ask Balima-sama, but they told us to wait for a while.] Resident H

Uh, the water pillars?

If you think about it, its related to the switching of the magic stones, right?

I cant come up with anything else. When I looked at Karina, shes thinking a little bit.

[I understand, I think youll be able to hear from my father soon. Until then, please be patient and wait for a while.] Karina

Karina bowed her head to the residents and began to walk quickly. I also chased her after that.

[Karina, whats going on?] Yuna

[Ill report the details to my father first before we can talk about it. Father is waiting for our report. If were late, the residents may rush out of their homes.] Karina

Karina said so and ran.

When we reached the mansion, there was a crowd.

[Theres already a lot of people here.] Karina

[Yes, we cant go in with this.] Yuna

I think the reason for their gathering was the same as earlier. Its like theyre waiting to hear Balima-sans announcement. Unlike the residents around the lake, it feels like they are angry mobs. Its dangerous if we get too close, so we can only watch them from a distance.

[Theyre all quiet though.] Yuna

The residents were not violent and only looking at the mansion.

However, it will be difficult to sneak in, this is troublesome. For the time being, I told Karina to wear the coat hood that protects her against the heat.

[Yuna-san, what should we do?] Karina

I think we can go and get through them normally, but we might get surrounded. There are people surrounding the mansion even if we try to enter from the back.

[This cant be helped.] Yuna

[Yuna-san?] Karina

I hold Karina in my arms.

[Yuna-san, what are you doing?] Karina

[Karina, hold on tightly.] Yuna

I started running while Karina was being

in my arms. And I jumped with a boost from running.

[Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.] Karina

Karina screams.

The residents turned their sights to the source of the voice.

[What was that?] Mob A

[Its a bird?] Mob B

[No, its a bear!] Mob C

[Its a bear?] Mob D

[Its a flying bear!] Mob E

While the residents were shouting, I jumped over the residents and over the wall, then land on the other side of the wall.

The landing was beautifully executed and the image that a lot of 10.0s were lined up floating on the judges heads. If I have the Bear Equipment, its not a dream to win multiple gold medals at the Olympics. Well, its a foul, no matter how you look at it.

On the other side of the wall, [The bear flew!], [Bears doesnt fly you know.], [It was absolutely a bear.], and [Bears cant fly!] can be heard.

The faction that saw me and the faction that didnt saw me were having a big argument. Also, some people may not understand depending on the angle.

In the first place, I am impressed that they have found out that I am a bear in that short moment.

I put Karina down.

[Yuna-san, next time please tell me if youre going to fly before you actually fly. It was very scary.] Karina

Karina was standing on the ground and her feet were shaking.

[Did you leak?] Yuna

[I did not leak!] Karina

Karina is. .h.i.tting me with

sound. Looks fine to me.

I apologized to Karina, then we entered the mansion.

When we enter the mansion, Rasa-san is waiting for us, she then immediately guide us to Balima-sans office.

[Karina.] Balima

[Karina, welcome home.] Ristil

Balima-san along with Ristil-san and their son Norris was there.

[Father, Mother, Im back. But, I would like to ask you something. I heard that the water column has risen, is that true?] Karina

[Oh, but first, I want you to tell me your report before I explain it to you.] Balima

[I I understand.] Karina

Karina successfully replaced the water magic stone. The water sprang up properly and it made the people talked about having the water returned to the way it used to be.

[I see, Karina. Youve had a lot of trouble this time.] Balima

[No, its because I originally dropped the crystal plate map.] Karina

[Yuna-san as well, thank you very much. If it hadnt for Yuna-san coming here and bringing the Kraken magic stone to us, this city would still be in trouble.] Balima

Balima-san deeply lowered his head.

[So, Father. What about the water column?] Karina

I dont know what it is, but it seems like Karina knew about it.

[I believe Karina knows that theres a festival once a year.] Balima

[Yes, The lake spouts like a fountain and it rains all over the city.] Karina

[Thats right! That didnt happen for a while though because the city was in a turmoil.] Balima

[But the festival is] Karina

[Theres a reason for that to happen.] Balima

Balima-san said that this town has an annual festival. At that time, it seems that water always blows up like a geyser, then it rains around the lake and throughout the city.

In the past, the purpose was to clean the silver cup with grat.i.tude.

To clean the cup, they have to stop the magic circuit for a short time. Then, once again, when the magic circuit was activated, water spouts like a geyser.

It later became a festival of the city and at the same time, it was to show off the power of the (Ishrit Family) as the lord.

Well this time, the magic circuit had to be stopped to switch the magic stones and the water was ejected by restarting the magic circuit. The residents who saw it gathered at the lake and the others gathered at Balima-sans house to hear the reason.

[And now that Karina has returned, well make an announcement about this at the square. Im relieved to be able announce that the lake is back.] Balima

Maybe there were various complaints and discontents.

Maybe, I dont know. Its scary to imagine.

[Father.] Karina

Balima-san stands up to explain this incident to the residents. At the same time, the Mother, Ristil-san, also stood up.

[I will go as well.] Ristil

Ristil-san is pregnant.

[But Im hungry] Ristil

[Its alright. You might get injured there. Im going to make a good announcement this time, so theres no danger.] Balima

[If so, I will go as well.] Karina

[Me too] Norris

[Karina and Norris I see. Lets go together.] Balima

I thought of something and decided to keep an eye on it.

Then in the city square Balima-san announced that the lake had been restored. The city comes to life. Stalls lined up in front of the lake and it was a festive event everywhere.

Its a secret to everyone but I am hiding, if Id get caught by the kids then itll be a big problem for me.

[Yuna-san, lets go and look around.] Karina

[Karina, youre hyped. Today of all days.] Yuna

(TN: I dont know if got it right .)

[Im not tired because I was riding on Swaying Bear-chan.] Karina

Weve been riding on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so were not tired.

I was tired from all other sorts of things though.

[And Im excited that the water is back.] Karina

Karina grabbed me by my Bear Puppet and dragged me around.

[Come on, Yuna-san, lets go!] Karina

I headed to where the commotion was, with Karina.

That night, I was mentally tired, I prepared to sleep. My body isnt really tired, but Karina took me there.

I was wearing a Bear Costume, I met Jade-san there and I was mentally tired from everything.

I changed into a white bear and summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in cub form. As usual, it feels good. It feels like my fatigue is melting away just by holding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

I got my energy back by hugging Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so I entered the futon (bed).

Then there was a knock on the door.

[Yuna-san, are you awake?] Karina

[Karina? Yes, Im awake.] Yuna

After opening the door, Karina comes in with a pillow.

[Whats wrong? ] Yuna

[Can I sleep with you?] Karina

[Well, I dont mind.] Yuna

Karina happily climbs on the bed. Theres no way I can refuse since she even brought her own pillow.

[Yuna-san is white.] Karina

Karina saw my white bear version for the first time.

[I wear this whenever I go to bed.] Yuna

Thats how I normally wear it. A white bear that takes away the fatigue is the best subst.i.tute for pajamas.

[Its cute.] Karina

[Karina looks pretty too.] Yuna

Karina is also wearing a cute white sleepwear.

Much cuter than me.

[Yuna-san, are you going home tomorrow? Then, can I say goodbye to Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan.] Karina

Karina pet Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

Am I not included?

Bear-san will cry, you know?

[Ill miss you since I wont be able to see you.] Karina

Im glad that I was included.

[I will come again.] Yuna

[Really?] Karina

[Yeah, Ill come to see Karina when Im going buy spices.] Yuna

If I install a Bear Gate, I can come here in an instant. Its a ha.s.sle though because I have to think about the place to install it.

[Really? You promise? Ill be waiting for you!] Karina

[I promise.] Yuna

To my words, Karina, who had a dark look, suddenly turned into a flowery smile.

[Swaying Bear-chan, Hugging Bear-chan. Lets get together again!] Karina

<

>

[Uh, but Ill be lonely after all.] Karina

Karina embraced Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

[Then Ill give you something good.] Yuna

[Something good?] Karina

I took out the bear plus.h.i.+es of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear from the Bear Box. When Karina saw it, her eyes widened and now staring at the stuffed animals.

[Uh, whats this?] Karina

[Its a bear plush toy. Its popular with the kids, you know.] Yuna

Karina lifts the bear plush toy.

[Are you giving it to me?] Karina

[Take care of it.] Yuna

[Thank you.] Karina

Karina hugs the Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear plus.h.i.+es. Next to her, were the real Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear that had been set aside. I felt sad because I have lost another set of stuffed animals.

[But what should I do? If I hold the plus.h.i.+es, I cant hold Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan.] Karina

[In that case, why dont we hold Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear tonight?] Yuna

[Yes, lets do that!] Karina

Karina gets out of bed and puts her stuffed animals on the table. When she comes back, she hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, then falls down on the bed.

[Yuna-san, please tell me your story.] Karina

[My story?] Yuna

[Yes, tell me about the city where Yuna-san lives, where you went, what monsters youve fought.] Karina

[Hmm, thats right] Yuna

I started to tell a little story.

After talking for a while, I heard a quiet sleep next to me. Apparently, she fell asleep. Karina firmly hugged Swaying Bear unconsciously. When I called Hugging Bear who looks lonely, I hugged him.

[Good night.] Yuna

I also went to sleep to get rid of todays fatigue.

Authors Note:

All thats left are to set up a Bear Gate and go home.

This has become longer than expected.

Next time, the post may be delayed by one day.
