Chapter 296

296 Bear-san and the Others are Relaxing with the Bears

[Fufu, apparently, Yuna-chan seems to have been worried because she thinks she also got ensnared by Blitz’s poison . ] Rosa

[That’s a terrible word . ] Blitz

It’s a horrible charge .

Blitz is free to increase the number of women .

…Just don’t put me in it .

It’s not an increase that you’d want to see .

Blitz said in a small voice that he’s [not interested in a child], but I heard it .

I want to say something, but I am also an adult .

Let’s be patient here .

And Ran is maybe a bit taller than me, but she’s small as well . (TN: chest armor . )

[Yuna, what is it?] Ran

When I was looking at Ran, she got a little cautious and asked .

[I think Ran is still young . ] Yuna

[Well, I am the youngest party member . ] Ran

[Ran is 18 years old . ] Yuna

[That’s right . ] Ran

Yeah, she doesn’t look like an 18-year-old . (TN: chest armor . )

I won’t say it .

After three years, when I become 18, I’ll be over Ran’s size and I should have become more like Rosa-san’s size .

[Ran, it’s good to be proud of being young, but you’ll be in your 20’s in no time . ] Rosa

[I still have two more years, so I’ll be fine . ] Ran

While the two are having a small grudges, a delicious dish was brought .

Speaking of which, how much does this food cost?

When I asked Rosa-san, she said [Don’t worry, It’s my treat . ]

[That’s right, don’t worry about it . Anyways, I don’t know how much you can eat with that small body of yours . But if Yuna can eat more than us, you’ll be charged, though I don’t think you could . ] Ran

[I don’t eat that much . ] Yuna

I like delicious food, but my stomach is just as good as any person .

[Well then, eat and grow big . ] Rosa

I wonder if this is what an adult says to their children .

I am an adult as well and I don’t like being small .

[On the other hand, If you eat a lot and didn’t grow, you’ll end up like Ran . ] Blitz

[Hey, I’m not small . ] Ran

Ran reacted to her name being called and denied it, but I think she’s small .

She’s taller than me, but it shouldn’t be a height difference that I couldn’t catch up, you know?

I’m still 15 years old .

There are still room for growth .

In contrast, Ran is about to end her growth period .

Ran tried to get up and hit Blitz .

But, Blitz caught Ran’s head .

[U~uuu~, let go . ] Ran

[If you don’t want to be like this, you should eat and grow . ] Blitz

[Maybe you’re also teasing her in your room . I think the root of it is Blitz’s heart is small . ] Yuna

[That’s not true . ] Blitz

Blitz squeezes the laughing Ran’s head even more .

[Oi, it hurts . ] Ran

Everyone laughs at Ran .

And so Ran gave up and is then released from Blitz’s grip .

Ran was angry with her cheeks puffing up, but when she started eating, she had forgotten what happened earlier, as if it never happened .

[That’s why I told Yuna, how to get to Dezerto city . ] Ran

Ran and Rosa-san briefly explained my situation .

[Then, will Yuna leave tomorrow morning?] Blitz

[I’m in a bit of a hurry . ] Yuna

[I really wanted us to travel together with you . ] Rosa

Rosa-san looks at Ran .

[I’m not good with Ragaroot’s tongue . ] Ran

[Well, Rosa doesn’t like hot climates, either . ] Blitz

[The heat is…] Rosa

[The Ragaroot is… . ] Ran

They laugh bitterly when they look at each other .

It seems that Ran is not good with Ragaroot, and Rosa-san is not good with heat .

[Are Blitz and Grimos okay with those?] Yuna

[No, the heat is pretty intense and it was hard to follow that empty sand road . It doesn’t suit me to go on and on endlessly, towards the pillar . ] Blitz

[We have to put up with it, somehow . ] Grimos

Grimos also seemed to be weak against it, she even answered expressionless .

Well, I want to see the desert, but I can say that because I have Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, the Bear Equipment and the Bear House .

If I didn’t then, I wouldn’t want to go .

My poor body cannot bear crossing the desert and I don’t know if I can even get to this town in the first place .

Though I look like that, I really appreciate the Bear Equipment and my Summoned Beasts .

[Why are you in this town then? If you don’t like the heat, you can go elsewhere . ] Yuna

[This town has a lot of escort jobs, there are also some monsters around it . I’ve been here so much that I’m practically working while sight-seeing . ] Rosa

[But we are supposed to leave the town in a few days . ] Ran

[As expected, working in this town does not really suit us, so we will return to the capital city . ] Blitz

[Well then, will you work in the capital city after this?] Yuna

In my question, Rosa-san shook her head .

[We haven’t decided on a home base yet . I’m wondering if it’s good around the capital city . ] Rosa

[If we move while doing an escort job, it’ll be two birds in one stone . ] Ran

[It’s fun to go to different towns . Some people are sometimes troublesome though . ] Blitz

I can agree to that .

The King, the Queen, Eleanora-san are some of the good people that I know of .

Though, sometimes they’re annoying .

I’m sure the same person is going to come up to me .

It may be fun to go to a new place, but there are also dangers because there are many unknown things .

You might get lost, or there is a monster in front of you, or you go to a new place and that happened .

But Rosa-san is living the ideal adventurers life, like in the manga and novels that I read .

Even when I met them for the first time, they seemed to be people who wants to get rid of the bandits themselves and if this is a manga or a novel, Blitz will be the main character .

And the title is [I don’t have a cheat, but it’s a harem adventure!] like that?

Yeah, it wouldn’t sell even if I write it myself .

I want a cheat at least .

But will Rosa-san return to the capital?

[Please be careful on you way . ] Yuna

[Fufu, Thank you . But we have Blitz, Ran and Grimos, so it’s okay . ] Rosa

[Surely, even if a Kraken comes out and we can’t defeat it, we will protect our party members . ] Blitz

Blitz spat-out cool lines .

[I trust on you . ] Rosa

Somehow, this is turning into a romance story .

But then, I feel that I understand a little somehow .

Well, Blitz thinks about everyone .

And after that brief love story, I was able to somehow finished my meal and went back to the room .

If we had had been eating for a little longer, we would have heard the full love story .

That would have been dangerous .

By the way, Blitz isn’t in the room .

Blitz went to his room all alone, kind of lonely in a way .

When we return to our rooms, we wipe off our sweat with a wet towel .

There are also baths in this town, not the inns but there seems to be a place like a public bath .

However today, Rosa-san and her friends seemed to just wiped their bodies with a towel .

Well, thanks to the Bear Costume, I didn’t sweat much, but I did the same thing as everyone else .

And so, I who was refreshed decided to sleep .

[Then I’ll go to bed now and head out early tomorrow . ] Yuna

I went to the innermost bed .

The sleeping outfit is not the white bear, but the black bear .

I’m not in a Bear House, I’m not in Crimonia, I’m in an unfamiliar land .

When something happens, it is better to be wearing the black bear costume .

[Hey, Swaying Bear-chan!] Ran

When I’m about to sleep, Ran came over to me and protest .

Unfortunately, it seems like she remembered it .

[Hurry up, hurry up . You promised . ] Ran

Well, I was going to call him out anyway, so that’s fine .

The room looks really spacious, but if I summon a bear in it’s real size, the room will get cramped .

So, I summoned Swaying Bear in bear cub form .

A bear appears on the bed .

At that moment, Ran opens her eyes wide and looks at the bear with a surprise .

[What, what is this cute bear? Swaying Bear-chan’s child?] Ran

[Nope, you’re wrong . That is Swaying Bear . ] Yuna

[Eh~, it became small!] Ran

Ran lifts Swaying Bear .

[What, is this cute bear?] Ran

[It’s making a cry . ] Ran

Well, it’s alive, so It’s going to make a cry .

Ran falls into bed while hugging Swaying Bear .

[This is , so soft . After all, the Bear is way better than Ragaroot . ] Ran

No, wild bears are dangerous .

It feels like, I was saying the same thing just the other day .

I think I’m gradually changing the common sense about bears in this world .

I’m afraid that someday, someone will try to pet a wild bear and get attacked .

I really hope that they don’t .

[Ran, lend Swaying Bear-chan to me as well . ] Rosa

[I still don’t have enough . ] Ran

Rosa-san looks at Ran .

Well, it can’t be helped .

I summoned Hugging Bear from the White Bear Puppet .

Hugging Bear that has been summoned on the bed jumped to me, because .

[Wh-what? That white bear!?] Ran

Ran is looking at Hugging Bear and looks like she’s about to rush in to grab him .

[Speaking of which, I’ve heard rumors when I was in Crimonia . Yuna-chan has two summoned bears . ] Rosa

[Is that so?] Yuna

[Yeah, I just heard what are the adventurers talking . ] Rosa

Rosa-san came to me .

[Umm, can I hold it?] Rosa

[Of course . ] Yuna

I summoned it for that .

Rosa-san is happily holding Hugging Bear .

[Fu fu, what is this? I’m not Ran but it’s really cute . ] Rosa

[I’m good because I have Swaying Bear-chan . Right, Swaying Bear-chan?] Ran

Ran strongly hugs Swaying Bear .

Seeing Swaying Bear squeezed like that, seems to be painful, but he’s fine, right?

[So what is this child’s name?] Rosa

[It’s Hugging Bear . ] Yuna

[Hugging Bear-chan, what a cute name . ] Rosa

Rosa-san also hug Hugging Bear .

I really wanted to sleep early, but a promise is a promise, so it can’t be helped .

[Hey, Yuna . If you can make it smaller, you can make it bigger, right?] Ran

[Yeah, I can do it . ] Yuna

[Well then, let’s make it big . ] Ran

Uh, is that okay?

[Since it’s narrow on the bed, can you put them down on the floor?] Yuna

When I ask, Ran placed Swaying Bear down on the floor .

I returned Swaying Bear to its normal size .

[Awesome! It really got bigger . ] Ran

Ran leap onto Swaying Bear .

Even though the room is not that large, she ride on the back of Swaying Bear .

Quit acting like a child .

[Yuna-chan, can you do the same with Hugging Bear-chan?] Rosa

Rosa-san, not you too

Since it can’t be helped, I made Hugging Bear bigger as well .

Rosa-san happily hugs Hugging Bear .

The room got extremely cramped .

[Just like Ran said, it is better than a Ragaroot . ] Rosa

[Isn’t it?!] Ran

Don’t compare my bears with lizards .

Then, the continued until the two were satisfied .

And then I returned the bears in cub form, the two are hugging them on their beds .

[Uh, it’s getting hot . ] Ran

Ran says that, but still holding Swaying Bear .

The heat doubles, the bigger the size .

However it is smaller right now, yet it is still seems to be hot .

But Ran is drinking cold water then replenish it .

Hugging Bear is being held alternately by Rosa-san and Grimos .

[Well, I want to go to bed soon, can I have both of them back?] Yuna

I want to go to bed early, so I can head out early tomorrow .

So I ask them to return both of the bears .

[Eh ~~ I still doesn’t have enough . ] Ran

No, it’s already enough .

How long are you planing on your ?

[Look, don’t say that, give Swaying Bear-chan back to Yuna-chan . ] Rosa

Ran doesn’t like it, but Rosa-san returned Hugging Bear .

When Hugging Bear happily came to me, he climbed on my lap .

When Swaying Bear saw that, he appears to be envious .

[Look, Swaying Bear-chan also wants to go to Yuna-chan . ] Rosa

This may be a chance .

I made an eye contact with Swaying Bear, [Swaying Bear make a lonely cry . ] .

Then Swaying Bear cried as if he wants to returned to me .

[U~u . ] Ran

Ran looks at me and Swaying Bear alternately .

(Swaying Bear, one more push . )

Swaying Bear looks at me once again and cried a lonely .

[Uh, cute… Okay I get it, but the next time I go to Crimonia, you’ll let me do again . ] Ran

After being deceived by Swaying Bear’s performance, Ran reluctantly returned Swaying Bear .

When I received Swaying Bear, it hugged me .

You can be a great actor .

I pet Swaying Bear’s head .

[Now then, I’ll turn off the light . ] Grimos

Grimos who had been silent until now touches the magic stone on the wall, then the light in the room disappears .

[Yuna, it’s a promise, you hear . ] Ran

Ran’s voice came from the next bed .

Well, I wonder when will they come to Crimonia .

When I lie down, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear on my both sides, came closer and sleep as I hug them .

(If something dangerous is about to happen, wake me up . )

I hug the Bears that are sleeping beside me .

[U~u, I’m jealous . ] Ran

I heard a voice from the neighbor, but just ignored it and sleep .

Author’s Note:

I want her to work together with the Harem party, but have we to say goodbye to Rosa-san’s group for now .

Next is departure .
