Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear-Chapter 371

Chapter 371

It was a little difficult, but I was able to defeat the wyverns safely . Their strength was different when I actually fought it compared to the defenseless state of sleeping . I’m glad they were really sleeping at that time . Had I fought those wyverns back then when they were awake, it would have been quite annoying .

I look at the sakura tree, but there’s no wyvern in-sight . Looking towards Targui’s head, there’s no wyvern either . On the contrary, I can’t even see the long neck of Targui .

Even if I used my detection skills to check it, there’s no new monster reaction . Apparently, it’s really over . Then, after collecting the wyverns, all I have to do is pick up the Fina and others .

While I was thinking about taking some rest, Swaying Bear suddenly cried <Kuu~n> .

[What’s wrong?] Yuna

Swaying Bear is looking at the sea .

That’s not his usual way to signal danger, but I checked my detection skill anyway . However, there’s no monster reaction .

I went to the beach that Swaying Bear was looking at . A pleasant breeze was blowing from the sea . Though looking at the sea makes me feel uncomfortable . Something is strange .

When I look closely, the whirlpools have disappeared and the flow of the sea has changed . The waves seem to be flowing from left to right . It feels like a moving ship .

I opened the bear map . There’s no doubt that the island is moving . Moreover, the speed is gradually increasing . It even feels like it’s gradually sinking . I don’t think it will totally submerge because there is vegetation . Just wishful thinking .

I have to hurry and get back to Fina and the others .

[Swaying Bear, let’s go!] Yuna

But first, there’s something I have to do .

I started to run . Swaying Bear followed . We ran at full speed and arrived at the sakura tree in a few tens of seconds . The petals of the sakura tree changed from pink to white, the mysterious light subsided, and the fantastic sight disappeared . The soap bubbles have also disappeared, and of course, there were no volcrows in-sight . Everything was probably sucked into that hole in the middle .

I set up a bear transfer gate near the sakura tree, which was one of my purposes for coming here . Then, I immediately started running and got back to Kryna-Hark’s stone monument, where I set up the bear house earlier then stored it afterward .

Once again I took the bear house out and set it up in the exact same place .

I left everyone alone for quite a long time . Shuri might be crying . Shia may be anxious . and Fina who knew everything could be in her wit’s end . Everyone must be worried about me .

When I entered the bear house, I headed straight to the room where the bear gate was located . Swaying Bear is behind me . And so, as I opened the door of the bear gate in the room where Fina and the others are…

I’m so sure that everyone was worried about me . But this scene is just………… .

[Oh, my black . Shuri-chan just took it . ] Shia

[Yuna-oneechan said that this game would be boring if you don’t take it seriously . ] Shuri

[That’s right . ] Fina

[But Fina-chan is even better than Shuri-chan . I can’t win at all . ] Shia

[But it’s been a good game . Shia-sama, it’s quick to remember . ] Fina

There were reversi and playing cards on the table, and everyone was having fun playing reversi . No one seems to be worried about me . The three seemed to be playing while I was fighting the wyverns outside . I guess it’s better than being anxious . So I feel like I can’t say anything .

I was fighting against the wyverns . I had a lot of trouble . Of course, these three didn’t know about the wyverns, so it can’t be helped, but somehow I feel sad . Meanwhile, Hugging Bear was the first one to notice me and ran towards me .

[Hugging Bear, I’m home . ] Yuna

<Kuu-n . >

Hugging Bear seems to have been worried about me . Hugging Bear is healing my spirit . Of course, Swaying Bear is also healing my spirit .

When I hug Hugging Bear, Fina and the others finally noticed me .

[Yuna-oneesan!] Fina

[Fina, I’m back . Everyone …looks okay . ] Yuna

[Yuna-san, you’re back . I was worried . She said that only Yuna-san can open the door . ] Shia

[Because it’s a safety measure to prevent anyone other than me from opening that door . ] Yuna

That’s a lie though . You can’t open it unless you have the bear puppet .

Shuri hugs me when she comes to me .

[Shuri, I’m home . ] Yuna

[Yuna-oneechan . Welcome home . ] Shuri

I’m petting Shuri’s head . Could it be that she’s worried about me?

[Yuna-oneechan . Any injuries?] Shuri

[No I don’t . ] Yuna

[Is Swaying Bear-chan okay?] Shuri

Ah, Shuri was asking about Swaying Bear . Swaying Bear rubs his face against Shuri to appeal that he’s okay and cried <Kuu-n . >

[I’m sorry I made everyone worried . Was everyone okay here?] Yuna

[We’re okay because we were all just playing games . ] Fina

Fina seems to have worked hard to keep everyone calm .

[Yuna-san, please give me this game . I want to bring it home as a souvenir . ] Shia

[Yeah, I don’t mind . ] Yuna

[Yuna-oneechan, the ice cream, and cake were delicious . ] Shuri

There are half-eaten cakes and cups of ice cream on the table . It seems that they were spending their time relaxing .

But I just want to say a word to them . Have they forgotten the situation outside?

[Yuna-oneesan . Is it okay to go outside?] Fina

[That’s right . Yuna-san . What about the monsters?] Shia

Shia asked as if she just remembered .

[It’s safe outside because there are no more monsters, but the island has begun to move, so we’ll have to leave the island quick . ] Yuna

I told them to leave the room .

[Wait a minute . I’ll clean these up . ] Fina

[It’s okay to do that later . If you do it now, we won’t know where we’ll end up to and we might not be able to return to Mereera . That’s why we have to leave the island right away . ] Yuna

We won’t get lost because I have the bear map . Though, it’s true that we’re in a hurry .

The three hurriedly prepare to leave the room . It seems my words were effective . Then, when we left the room, I closed the door of the bear gate and left the bear house . When I exit the bear house, I closed the bear house’s door and put it away in the bear box .

The three who came out earlier were looking at the sea from the coast .

[It’s true . The island is moving . ] Fina

[Then this island was really Targui . ] Shia

Now that Targui’s head was submerged in the sea, the existence of Targui was ambiguous to the three .

[I’ll explain that later . We’re leaving the island now . Get on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear!] Yuna

Fina and Shia ride on Swaying Bear, while Shuri and I ride on Swaying Bear . Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear started running and they’re heading to the other side of the island . The sea in front of us is the direction we’re going . It is dangerous to jump out from the front, therefore, we will escape from behind Targui .

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are running . On the way, we passed by some corpses of wyverns . The island suddenly moved and I immediately forgot to collect those wyverns .

[Wyverns?] Shia

Shia and the others were surprised to see the corpses of the wyverns . There are also kraken corpses, but since they were burned to cinders, there was no identifiable part of the kraken left .

[What happened, Yuna-san?] Shia

[I’ll explain later . Right now we have to focus on escaping from this island . ] Yuna

After reaching the edge of the island, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear jumped towards the sea . We succeeded in escaping from the island safely .

[The island is leaving . ] Shia

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are just standing on the sea as the big island Targui, moves away . It may come back here after a few years .

[Yuna-oneechan . ] Shuri

Shuri anxiously called me .

[Yeah?] Yuna

[How do we get home? I can’t see the land . ] Shuri

You can see Targui and small islands . But almost 360 degrees is the horizon . I can’t see the land where Mereera is .

[Can we go home?] Shuri

[Don’t worry, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear knows the way properly . ] Yuna

When I said that, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried, <Kuu-n> and started running on the sea toward Mereera .

[Yuna-san, about the wyverns?] Shia

[I think it’s exactly as you were expecting . The wyverns joined the fray . ] Yuna

[Then, did Yuna defeat the wyverns?] Shia

[I wanted to escape the island safely, and I couldn’t let the wyverns reach Mereera more than volcrows . ] Yuna

[When we were safely playing in that room, Yuna-san was fighting outside for us . Yuna-san was always helping us . ] Shia

[It’s my job to protect you three . ] Yuna

It would be difficult if these three to be there while I was fighting . If it becomes dangerous, I will not hesitate to use the bear gate . I had some leeway this time, so I moved them from the bear house to a hidden room .

[But it’s a shame . I knew the existence of the legendary creature, Targui . But I couldn’t find out anything in the end . ] Shia

[It’s actually better this way . It was written in Kryna-Hark’s book that he didn’t want the existence of Targui to be known . For the time being, we have to protect it like the good people mentioned in Kryna-Hark’s book . So this time you have to keep it a secret . ] Yuna

[U~u, I can’t tell anyone?] Shia

[It could have called Shia if she had a lot of magic . Or because you had the purest mind to talk gently to others . ……] Yuna

(TN: 「シアも魔力が多ければ呼び出せたよ。それとも他人に話すような心の持ち主だったから……」Not really sure about this one but probably good enough . )

[That’s not what I meant . I didn’t say anything . ] Shia

Shia denied it . Of course, she doesn’t want to think of herself as a villain . Well, the contents of that book from that monument are vague .

[Fina and Shuri . Please keep this a secret as well . ] Yuna

[Un . ] Shuri

[Yes, but what are we going to say about what we did during the time we weren’t there at the beach? I think Noa-sama is definitely aware of it by now . ] Fina

That certainly is quite possible . Noa can’t be unaware of us for that long .

[Then, let’s just keep Kryna-Hark, Targui, and the monsters a secret . And say we only explored the nearby islands . ] Yuna

[That . Somehow . ] Fina

[But Yuna-san . How will you explain why you didn’t take Noa?] Shia

[I’ll leave that to you as her sister, Shia . ] Yuna

[I can’t . On the contrary, she’ll think that I played with Yuna-san, Swaying Bear-chan, and Hugging Bear-chan, and she’ll definitely ask about it . That’s why I want you to help me . ] Shia

That’s because you said you wanted to come with me .

But instead of having everyone shut up . I would have to do a lot of thinking . Besides, if I leave it to these three, another problem would pop out .

[I see . I’ll make the excuses, but everyone should keep quiet . ] Yuna

[Yes . ] Fina

[Un . ] Shuri

[I understand . ] Shia

Then, after running on the sea for a while, we can finally see the land .

[I can see the land . ] Shuri

Shuri looks forward as if she’s sailing on Swaying Bear .

Apparently, we were able to return safely .
