Chapter 425 - 425 Bear-san, Goes Out With Noa Part 2 (1/2)

425 Bear-san, Goes Out With Noa Part 2

[So, Yuna-san. Where are the bear-sans?] Noa

Noa, who had been holding Swaying Bear since a while ago, asked me as if she couldn’t wait to see them.

If it’s a bear you’re looking for, Noa, you’re already holding one. I wanted to make such a comment, but I stopped myself.

Well, she’s never seen a bear other than Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so I guess she’s in for a treat.

[I don’t know where they are, but I’ll have Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear call them. Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, please.] Yuna

<<Ku~u ~ n>>

After Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear responded, they made a loud <<Kuu～～～～～～～～n>> sound.

[Wha- what was that?] Noa

[I asked them to call the bears.] Yuna

My detection skills won’t tell me where the bears are. So we had to call them.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are also bears, after all. They can talk to each other, and they can call each other.

[So, are the bear-sans coming?] Noa

Noa scurried around to look at the surroundings.

As she was wondering where they were coming from, she saw a couple of bears and their cub emerge from the trees on her right. Two big bears and two cubs.

[Yuna-san, bear-san! It’s bear-san! Bear-san parent and child!] Noa

Excited, Noa grabbed my arm and shook it.

I know you’re happy, but stop shaking me.

[Yes, I can see them. Don’t get too excited and startle the bears.] Yuna

It would be dangerous if the bears were startled and attacked Noa. They’re docile bears, but still wild bears.

[I know. It’s okay. I’ll stroke them gently.] Noa

She’s going to pet it.

[Remember, unlike Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, these are wild bears. So, don’t touch them until I say it’s okay.] Yuna

She’s about to start running, I have to be careful.

[I, I understand.] Noa

Noa’s face tightened up at my advice.

And when the bear parent and child slowly came to us, the bears (wild, summoned) rubbed their bodies against each other.

Apparently, they hadn’t forgotten about us.

<Kuu ~ n>

Two bear cubs came to me. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cub forms are cute. These little bears are cute too. I think they’ve grown up a little since then. After all, the smaller the bear, the cuter it is.

[Yuna-san, can I touch them too?] Noa

While I was stroking the bear cubs, Noa was about to reach out to the bear cubs, but she kept her promise with me and put up with it.

[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear. Noa is going to touch these kids, so can you tell them they’re not in danger?] Yuna

I asked Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, who are on good terms with the parent bears.

Then Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear started talking to the parent bears.

<Ku~u ~ n> <ku~u n> <ku~u ~ n> <ku~u n>

I’m not sure what they’re saying, but they’re having a conversation.

At times like this, I wish I had bear language skills. But if I could hear the true feelings of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, I would be scared. I think it would be better if I didn’t have any bear language skills.

Then, when the conversation between the bears is over, Swaying Bear comes to Noa. Swaying Bear goes behind Noa and pushes her back.

[Swaying Bear-chan?] Noa

[He said you could touch the bears.] Yuna

[Really?] Noa

Noa was a little scared, but she slowly reached out and touched the bear cub in my arms.

[The texture is different from Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. The fur is a little stiff.] Noa

[Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are taking baths, you know. They are different compared to the bears in the wild.] Yuna

Furthermore, whenever I summoned them, they come out in a beautiful state. They’re always fluffy and soft.

[But they’re fluffy.] Noa

Yeah, they’re fluffy. I also stroke the back of the bear cub.

[And this bear has a cool face.] Noa

<<Kuu ~ n>>

Noa’s words made Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear a little frustrated.

[I’m sorry. Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan, you’re cuter rather than cool.] Noa

[So, Bear Girl-chan. Is it okay for me to touch them too?] Rem

Rem-san, who had been watching us in silence for a while now, was behind Noa, looking like he wanted to touch the bear cub as well.

[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear. Rem-san wants to touch them too.] Yuna

<Ku~u ~ n> <ku~u n> <ku~u ~ n> <ku~u n>

This time, Hugging Bear came around behind Rem-san and pushed him back.

[It feels good.] Rem

[Yeah.] Yuna

Rem-san touched the parent bear and the bear cub. Rem-san has a satisfied look.

After all, Rem-san also wanted to touch the bear.

[Thank you for always protecting the bee tree. But please don’t do anything too dangerous.] Rem

Although he couldn’t understand the bear’s language, Rem-san spoke to the bear gently.

[So the bear-san is the guardian of the bee tree?] Noa

[Yeah, they fought the monsters before.] Rem

But isn’t that what they’re fighting for, to protect their territory?

As for me, if I had to choose between goblins, orcs, and bears, I would support the bears.

[But there’s no guarantee that the bear will be able to defeat the next monster that appears. If a monster takes up residence, all we have to do is ask the adventurer’s guild. So the bears won’t be overwhelmed.] Rem

[I’ll take care of it when that happens.] Yuna

[Yeah, I’d feel a lot better if Bear Girl-chan takes care of it.] Rem

I don’t want the adventurer and the bears to run into each other and end up fighting.

[Well, it’s not only monsters that are dangerous, though. If the adventurers come to kill the bear, they must run away.] Yuna

That’s a possibility. People may be more dangerous than monsters.

[But are there any adventurers in that town who’ll come to subjugate the bear-san?] Noa

Noa looks at me, Swaying Bear, and Hugging Bear, then Rem-san looks at us in response.

[If there’s a request at adventurer’s guild, they might come to subjugate the bears, but I don’t think anyone would come to take down a bear that’s not rampaging.] Rem

I’m afraid of hearing what he’s going to say and I don’t think my heart can take it, so I didn’t listen to him.

[But I don’t think any adventurer who knows Yuna-san would mess with a bear.] Noa

[You’re right.] Rem

Rem-san nodded to Noa’s words.

After all this time, I wonder what the other adventurers think of me. I don’t think they have a very good image of me after all.

Before that, why is Rem-san nodding?
