Chapter 352: 352 Bear-san, was Unnoticed (Day 2)

352 Bear-san, was Unnoticed (Day 2)

Credits to:

valiant, Philip

When I got out of the beach house, there were men and women walking on the beach carrying some luggage. I dont think they came here to complain. Everyone are smiling.

Are those fishermans clothes? I have seen it at the port.

[O~i, kids. Ill cook some delicious food, so look forward to it.] Man

One of the men yells at the children at the beach. The children who were playing noticed the fuss and gathered.

Ah, dont go to people you dont know. But I think its okay because Gill and Lurina-san are together with them. Occasionally the behavior of an innocent child makes me uneasy. Thats why I want them to be a little distrustful of strangers. Though I cant say that strongly because there are many good people.

I will tell the director and Liz-san about that.

[What is this, rice?]

[There are a lot of fish~]

[Oh, Im going to make delicious food right now.] Man

The man pat the childs head lightly and began to build a stall.

The children are happily watching the scene. For the time being, I told Gill and Lurina-san to keep their children out of the way.

But what does this mean?

I asked Fina, whos behind me.

[Fina, have you heard anything from Tirumina-san?] Yuna

[No, I havent heard anything.] Fina

Of course. Tirumina-san went to town early in the morning and has not returned. The same goes for Morin-san and Anzus group. I havent heard anything about it this morning.

I asked the man to confirm the situation.

[

Ano

, what is the meaning of this?] Yuna

[Young lady and the others, youre all probably acquainted with the Young Lady Bear whos always dressed as a bear.] Man

The Young Lady Bear you said. However it may be, that person is right in front of you now. But, its a ha.s.sle to name myself, so Ill just nod.

[So when I heard that the Young Lady Bear was coming to the sea with many children and came to cook.] Man

[Who did you hear that from?] Yuna

[Everybody knows that Anzu-chan is here, too. I heard it from Anzu-chan.] Man

Apparently, the source of the information leak was Anzu.

[So, where is the Young Lady Bear? Id like to get permission immediately.] Man

Im right in front of you. But if I give him my name, its going to be a huge commotion. And if he dont believe me, the damage will be deep, so Ill keep quiet for now. Next to me, there is a figure of Fina giving her best to endure her laughter.

[Then I shall tell her about you.] Yuna

[Is that so? I appreciate it. But first, please tell the Young Lady Bear to show her face.] Man

I left the man.

And so, while I was wondering about what was happening, I found the figures of the offenders, Anzu and Seno-san. Anzu came to us, looking around (

kyoro-kyoro

).

I tried to talk to Anzu, but she went past me and instead, talked to Fina whos standing next to me.

[Fina-chan. Do you know where Yuna-san is?] Anzu

[Yuna-oneesan?] Fina

Even though Im standing next to Fina. The same reaction as the man I talked to earlier. When Anzu asked, Fina glances at me as if she was in trouble.

[All the fishermen decided to have lunch here. I thought Id tell Yuna-san about that.] Anzu

As expected, they were all fishermen. But I already knew the story when I asked a fisherman.

[Hey, Yuna-san is famous, but she dont want to stand out. But all the fishermen are saying that they wanted to see Yuna-san, so I dont know what to do.] Anzu

I cant refuse what theyre doing anymore and all the fishermen are working hard on preparing the food.

[So Fina-chan. Do you know where Yuna-san is?] Anzu

Fina keeps glancing at me as if shes in trouble, so I decided to talk to Anzu.

[Anzu.] Yuna

[

Etto

, what is it?] Anzu

Anzu tilts her head. I knew it, she doesnt seem to recognize me. I showed her the Bear-sans puppets and picked up Hugging Bear at my feet.

[Dont tell me, Yuna-san?] Anzu

It seems that Anzu finally realized who I was.

[I didnt recognized you for a moment because youre not dressed as a bear.] Anzu

No, you wouldnt know if I didnt show you Bear-sans puppets and Hugging Bear, let alone for a moment.

That excuse doesnt work for me.

[I think I know the situation, but can I ask you about it?] Yuna

[When I went to buy some ingredients. I was asked if Yuna-san was here, then everyone said that I didnt need to pay, but I thought it would be bad so I refused.] Anzu

Yeah, thats the correct reaction from Anzu.

[Then why is this happening?] Yuna

[

.

, so when I tried to refuse, the other fishermen started to partic.i.p.ate and that lead to this situation.] Anzu

Anzu looked at the fishermen preparing food.

There are more than 10 fishermen on the beach.

[Im sorry about this.] Anzu

Anzu, looks dejected.

I knew this would happen. Anzu is not in the wrong either. So Im not going to get angry with Anzu.

Also, if I come to Mereera, sooner or later the same situation would happen. Maybe I should have gone out to the guild today and told them not to make a fuss, instead of going out to the sea.

The fishermen are cooking the food on the sandy beach and the children are happy, so today Ill give it a try. But I dont want them to make a commotion every time I come, so Ill ask them not to do this again later.

Looking at the preparation site, another group brought in new set of baggage. There was a familiar person among them. It looks like Damon-san whom I saved in the snowy mountains.

Damon-san noticed me and came here.

[Anzu-chan. Isnt the bear girl here yet? Ill be meeting her after such a long time, so Id like to say h.e.l.lo.] Damon

Apparently, he came here because he saw Anzu, not me.

Counting this one, I dont know how many times this happened today. No one realized that it was me. I kinda feel a little lonely.

I usually dont like standing out, but I feel lonely if I dont get noticed. Its complicated, but thats me.

[

Etto

, Yuna-san is right in front of you.] Anzu

When he asked, Anzu revealed my ident.i.ty to Damon-san.

[Bear girl?] Damon

Hes looking at me with a surprised expression.

Its like seeing something incredible.

Do I look that bad in my swimsuit?

[I didnt recognized you because youre not dressed as a bear, but I didnt think the bear was such a cute girl.] Damon

Again, being stared at while in a swimsuit is embarra.s.sing. I took a step back.

[Even so, its been a long time. Now that youve built a house, why dont you stay in the town a little longer? Yuura also wanted to see you.] Damon

[Well, Im busy with a lot of things.] Yuna

After defeating the Kraken, I have been doing many things. Working as escorts for s.h.i.+a and her cla.s.smates, building Anzus shop, and subjugating golems. Making a stuffed animal and going to the royal capital, making a cake and going to Misas birthday party, going to the elven village, going to the school festival, going to the desert, etc. Im doing various things. Am I being overworked?

[Yuura will come later, so please come and see her.] Damon

[Yeah, I wanted to see her too.] Yuna

[Well then, well prepare lunch, so eat a lot.] Damon

Damon-san went with the others.

Then, the people who came to make lunch for us seem to be preparing the food while looking for something (

Kyoro-Kyoro

). Theyre definitely looking for me.

The man whom I had the first conversation, Anzu, Damon-san. Moreover, Gill and the children. No one noticed me. In that case, there is no choice but to dress as someone who everyone knows so well.

I silently return to the beach house. Then, when I enter the changing room, I don-in my bear costume. And I, wearing my bear costume, goes out of the beach house. Then everyones eyes gathered at me.

[Young Lady Bear, there you are!]

[Ive been searching for you.]

[Youre still dressed like that.]

[Where have you been?]

[Ah, Yuna-oneechan!]

[Its Bear-san~]

The reaction and expression of the fishermen and the children varies.

I was in front of them for quite sometime, while I was still dressed in a swimsuit, n.o.body noticed me. So now Im wearing my bear costume.

And did the children suddenly became lively? I guess Im just overthinking it.

[I heard it from Anzu, but thank you very much.] Yuna

[Dont worry. Well cook delicious food, so eat a lot.] Man

Everyone nodded to the words of the man.

I thought I would be surrounded and thank me for killing the Kraken, but that wasnt the case. They only call out to me from a distance and they dont selfishly approach me.

[Maybe its because Kuro-ojichan told everyone that it would be a nuisance for Yuna-san.] Anzu

Anzu said it with a bitter smile. I thought that old man was influential. But it turns out, he really is.

Didnt he say that he was one of the influential people in the town? I guess I have to thank him later, dont I?

[Yuna-san is a very popular person here. What did you do in this town?] s.h.i.+a

s.h.i.+a brought Noa and the others.

[I just dug a tunnel leading to Crimonia.] Yuna

I dont know how much s.h.i.+a and Noa heard from Cliff and Eleanora-san. So Ill will answer like that. I cant say anything nasty because Misa and Marina and Eru are also on my side.

[So thats why there were bears in front of the tunnel.] s.h.i.+a

s.h.i.+a has a slightly implied face. Didnt she hear anything about it?

But I cant confirm how much she knows. s.h.i.+a doesnt even ask about it, so Im not going to answer either.

[But Yuna-san. Youre back to your usual bear-like appearance. You look good in a swimsuit. But Yuna-san looks better as Bear-san.] Noa

[I think so, too!] Misa

Following Noa, Misa agreed to it.

It seems that the formula of

has become definitive in everyones mind.

I cant take it off now that they said it like that.

Authors Note:

As the t.i.tle says, they didnt noticed Bear-san w

Well, the people of Mereera have only met her once or twice, so it cant be helped.

Next time, if there is no urgent correction of the book, I will post it in 3 days as per usual.

Reservations for volume 6 have started depending on the location. The list of the distribution for the store purchase privilege SS is undecided. I will report it as soon as I understand it.

Triple Kill!!!
