Chapter 339: Bear-san, Sleeps Twice.

339 Bear-san, Sleeps Twice.

Credits to: valiant

The next day, I was woken up by Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear alarm clocks. I dont oversleep because I have two alarm clocks. However, if I dont wake up, they will not stop waking me up and try even harder until I do so.

At first, its just a gentle tap. If I dont wake up, the petchipetchi will gradually become stronger. If I still dont wake up, the two of them will climb on my stomach. And in the end, they will cover my face. More importantly, I want them to stop it because it is really painful.

Today, I was able to get up when Swaying Bear dived onto my stomach.

[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, good morning.] Yuna

I got up while rubbing my sleepy eyes. Im going to go to the Adventurers Guild today and give them the scorpions.

Well, Im still sleepy. Its still dim outside. Its been a long time since I woke up this early. Some people who are early in the morning may get up and work. But its too early for me.

What about breakfast?

It feels too early for it. I consulted with my stomach. Well then, Ill eat breakfast after I come back from the Adventurers Guild. I change from a white bear to a black bear and call on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear

[Well then, lets go!] Yuna

When I left the Bear House, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in cub form followed me with tokotoko. (trotting sfx)

Sometimes when I get up early, I take a walk with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. If its this early morning, no one will be surprised because there are no people, so no one will come near us.

While Im on my way to the Adventurers Guild walking like so, I was greeted by an old woman whom I knew the face, yet I dont know the name. I also replied,

. The old woman also greets Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear replied with

.

There are many people around my house who knew about me, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, therefore, she was not surprised that Im walking in the neighborhood with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in their cub form.

I did a small yawn with and stretched my arms a little. It feels good in the morning, though I cant help feeling sleepy. I want to make Swaying Bear bigger and get on his back.

While thinking about it, the Adventurers Guild came into view. In front of the Adventurers Guild are Gentz-san and Fina.

[Good morning to both of you.] Yuna

[Good morning.] Fina

[You came without being late.] Gentz

[I have these bears to wake me up.] Yuna

I crouched down, then I pet the heads of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear next to me. Theyre the most powerful alarm clocks.

[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, good morning.] Fina

Fina rubbed the heads of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear at the same time.

[Its not a good place to talk right here, lets move inside. You dont want to be seen, right? Thats why youre here this early in the morning.] Gentz

Yes, thats right. It would be a problem if someone saw me.

We went around the back of the guild and entered the dismantlers warehouse through the back door.

[Well then, please hand it over.] Gentz

As I promised yesterday, I took out 10 Scorpions from the Bear Box.

[How nostalgic.] Gentz

[Is that so?] Yuna

[Oh, Ive been dismantling a lot of these when I was an adventurer, but not so much since I started working in the guild.] Gentz

[Not so much, so does this mean youve received some before?] Yuna

[Occasionally, some adventurers bring it back here. So it may cause quite a bit of a fuss this time, but it shouldnt be as intense as what Jo-chan thinks.] Gentz

Well, even if they made a fuss, I wouldnt mind as long as they didnt know I was the one who brought them all.

[And so, we will take the sh.e.l.ls.] Gentz

[Thats fine. I want the meat to be separated.] Yuna

I just want to taste it. Maybe its delicious like shrimps or crabs. It might be good to ask Anzu and Morin-san to see if they can cook it.

[Okay. Ill bring it to your house when were done.] Gentz

[Although I can come back later.] Yuna

[Then it doesnt make sense that youre hiding if youre going picking it up anyways. Do you want to hide or to be known? Make up your mind!] Gentz

Ah, thats right. It would be suspicious if I came to pick it up.

[Then, can I ask you to deliver it?] Yuna

[Yeah, I dont mind.] Gentz

As a result of our talk, the Scorpions meat will be delivered to my home.

[Well then, Fina. Ill tell you the basics while were waiting for the other staffs to come, so watch carefully.] Gentz

Gentz-san takes out the knife and approaches the scorpion.

[Yes, Dad.] Fina

Fina is now used to call Gentz-san her father. I miss the days when she used to call him Uncle Gentz.

[Well then, Ill head back home.] Yuna

[By the way, if you kill another rare monster like a scorpion, bring it to me.] Gentz

In that case, I have a boss-type sandworm, a boss-type Scorpion, and some Wyverns. I would like to take it out of the Bear Box and look at Gentz-sans surprised face, but I dont want to cause chaos, so I restrained myself.

I parted with Gentz-san and Fina and went back to the Bear House because I have a lot of time until my next agenda for the day.

Today, Im going to the tailoring shop where Sherry works.

Yesterday, I met Sherry on the way home from the Adventurers Guild. She said that when she heard from the orphanage that I had returned, she was on her way to the Bear House to see me. And the reason why she wanted to see me was that the swimsuits were finished.

Come to think of it, what happened to my swimsuit?

I dont remember choosing a swimsuit. If she hasnt finished it, then its fine. The secret size of my body was measured by Sherry. Sherry also said she would make it, so I dont think theres anything she didnt make.

If she made it from the ill.u.s.trations Ive drawn, I think itll basically be fine. I just hope its not a school swimsuit.

Im going to Sherry today, in addition to checking my swimsuit.

But its too early to go to the store. Theres still time until the shop opens. So I decided to go back to the Bear House and sleep a second time. I couldnt help but yawn since a while back.

When I came back to the Bear House, I forgot to eat breakfast and simply fell onto the bed as a Black Bear. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear also curled up next to me when I get on the bed. As soon as I hugged Swaying Bear, I felt very sleepy.

[chan.] ??

I feel something is shaking me.

[ wake up.] ??

My body was shaking even more.

[Yuna-oneechan, wake up.] ??

[Swaying Bear?] Yuna

[Nope~. ] ??

[Hugging Bear?] Yuna

[Nope~. Its Shuri.] Shuri

Shuri?

When I opened my eyes, Shuri was riding on top of me. (TC: FBI OPEN UP!!)

[Finally.] Shuri

When I get up, Shuri comes down from me.

[Why are you here Shuri?] Yuna

[I went to the Adventurers Guild because I was done helping my mom with work. Then, my dad doesnt want to let me learn how to dismantle the

, he said it was too early for me. So I came to ask Yuna-oneechan, but youre sleeping.] Shuri

No, the Scorpion dismantling is still too early for Shuri. In the first place, its too early even for Fina. However, Fina has many years of dismantling experience. Shuri doesnt have it.

[I also think its too early for Shuri.] Yuna

[Even Yuna-oneechan is saying that too? I can do it!] Shuri

Shuri pouts her tiny mouth.

[I dont think you can. Even Fina will dismantle it for the first time. So its too early, Shuri will have to wait until youre 10 years old.] Yuna

Even so, 10 years old is still too early. Im a 15-year-old adventurer, but I cant dismantle it. Considering that, Shuri is more amazing than me.

[I want to grow up quickly.] Shuri

[You dont have to hurry that much, its okay.] Yuna

I put my hand on Shuris head.

[By the way, what time is it now?] Yuna

[Its already past lunchtime.] Shuri

What was that you said, Shuri-san?

[I thought I heard you said its lunchtime. I might have heard you wrong.] Yuna

[Its after lunchtime.] Shuri

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

I didnt hear it wrong.

Apparently, I went to bed and slept until noon. I have an appointment with Sherry.

[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear why didnt you wake me up?] Yuna

I saw Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, playing on the bed. Certainly, I didnt ask them to wake me up, but it would be great if they did. I stared at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear with a slight grudge.

Dont they know how I feel?

Theyre tilting their heads and crying,

.

For the time being, I have to get ready to go out. I havent decided when to meet Sherry. Shes supposed to be waiting for me.

[Shuri, thank you for waking me up.] Yuna

If Shuri didnt wake me up, Id still be in the dreamland.

[Un, because the door is open, so I thought Yuna-oneechan was here, but you were sleeping.] Shuri

If Im not here, the Bear Houses doors wont open. If Im here, then Fina and Shuri could come in without permission. Others cannot enter unless I open the door.

So only Fina and Shuri can wake me up.

When I get out of the bed, I took the bread out from the Bear Box and stuffed it in my mouth. Then swallowed it without chewing it.

[Yuna-oneechan. Thats bad manners.] Shuri

I was scolded by Shuri.

[Im in a bit of a hurry, so its only today.] Yuna

I made excuses and prepared to go out. I thought I would return Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, but Shuri is holding them.

[Im going out. Shuri, are you staying here?] Yuna

Then, Ill leave Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear as her playmates.

[Yuna-oneechan. Are you going somewhere?] Shuri

[I have an appointment with Sherry, so Im going to the tailoring shop. Do you want to come with me?] Yuna

[Is that okay?] Shuri

[Yeah, no problem. Im just going to check the swimsuits.] Yuna

[Well then, I will go with you.] Shuri

Shuri happily replied.

I returned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to the Bear Puppets and then I went to see Sherry together with Shuri.

Authors Note:

Happy New Year!

Thank you for supporting k.u.ma k.u.ma k.u.ma Bear again this year.

The sh.e.l.l of the scorpion was sold to the guild. I think that itll be good if this sh.e.l.l got pa.s.sed to s.h.i.+n, the new adventurer. But if I were to write the story in a book, when would it be?

Next time, were finally checking out the swimsuit.

I was working on a book while taking a break from the web version.
