Chapter 319: 319

319 I’m Worried About Bear-san . (Karina’s Point of View . )

I’m staring at the wall .

There are many monsters behind that wall . Yuna-san stayed there with Swaying Bear-chan . It is impossible even if you told me not to worry .

It looks like she will fight those monsters alone to retrieve the crystal plate .

A mysterious girl dressed as a Bear . A very gentle, pretty and adventurer-like girl . The King asked her to deliver the Kraken’s water magic stone . She was someone who reached out to me when my heart was about to collapse .

Why is Yuna-san doing that?

Please, I’m begging you…

Yuna-san, please come back safely .

Hugging Bear-chan rubs his cheeks against me, who seems to be worried as well . Are you comforting me?

I pet Hugging Bear-chan .

Yuna-san have very gentle bears .

[Let’s go, Karina-chan . ] Mel

Mel-san called out to me while I was looking at the wall . We can’t be here forever, so we have to move .

I ride on Hugging Bear-chan .

Hugging Bear-chan starts walking while I’m holding on his hair .

[Yuna-chan, is going to be fine . ] Mel

Mel-san is kindly speaking to me who looks very anxious .

[But alone against such a big monster . ] Karina

I heard she defeated the Kraken and other monsters, but it doesn’t matter to me . When I first heard it, I simply knew she defeated some great monsters .

But when I saw the big monster in front of me, it seemed impossible . Can people really defeat such a big monster?

[Yuna-chan is an adventurer who can easily kill big worms . ] Mel

[But Mel-san and Jade-san, couldn’t kill it . ] Karina

That’s how strong that monster is .

[That’s the case between our abilities . Yuna-chan is strong, but if it seems really impossible, she’ll escape without doing anything . ] Mel

[It’s okay because she’s with Swaying Bear . ] Senia

Senia-san, who’s walking on the other side of Mel-san, speaks . But that’s right, she might be able to do it along with Swaying Bear-chan . Not just the big monster . There were also many small monsters .

If I were to stand in that place, I would be scared and my legs would give up and I will be frozen in place .

[And if Yuna-chan wants to fight, we must respect those words . ] Mel

[It’s an adventurer thing . ] Senia

It’s an adventurer thing?

I can never be an adventurer .

[But, I’ve never seen such a big Scorpion before . Can she beat it alone? And the small Scorpions as well?] Toya

Toya-san walking behind us speaks .

But as exactly what Toya-san says .

I think it’s impossible to defeat that huge number of monsters alone .

[Yuna-chan can easily kill the small Scorpions . ] Mel

[But there’s even a bigger Scorpion in that narrow space . She may be able to beat the small Scorpions, but can she beat that thing? Earlier, she was saying while defeating the small Scorpions . If you enter that space, all of those will attack simultaneously . ] Toya

[That’s right, but……] Mel

Mel-san agrees with Toya-san’s words .

Does that mean she can’t beat it?

[But I believe there’s a way to defeat it, otherwise Yuna-chan wouldn’t stay behind . She’s the one who took down that golem alone after all . ] Mel

[I was surprised as well at that time . The day after everyone gave up and just drank the whole night, she returned from the mine, saying she had defeated the golem . ] Toya

[She didn’t mention how how she defeated it though . Maybe Swaying Bear-chan defeated it . ] Mel

[If that’s the case, then this Bear may be strong, too . ] Toya

Toya-san looks at Hugging Bear-chan .

Did Yuna-san gave me a very strong escort?

It seems that Hugging Bear-chan knows that he is being talked about, so he cried cutely .

[Well, that Jō-chan is a weird girl after all . ] Toya

[Fu fu, yeah . Yuna-chan is a strange girl, all right . ] Mel

[Her strength is unknown . ] Senia

Yuna-san is a very strange person .

As we talk, Jade-san joins in the conversation .

[Someone told me that ever since she arrived, only a few people saw Yuna fighting . But everyone was convinced that she’s the one who defeated those . As a proof, the Adventurer’s Guild raised her rank . If the story of the past is true, it will be possible for her to escape if she knew that she cannot defeat it . ] Jade

Her adventurer rank was C . She is still 15 years old, which seems to be great .

In addition to Kraken, she also defeated other monsters .

[She have Swaying Bear-chan with her . ] Mel

Surely if she have Swaying Bear-chan, she may be able to escape .

[But, Most adventurers have never seen Yuna fight . ] Jade

[Maybe she doesn’t want to be seen by others . ] Senia

[Even if Yuna-chan could beat the worms in the desert by herself . She insisted on helping us so she can hide it . ] Mel

Senia-san agreed, can Yuna-san really beat that number of worms alone?

[Because she can beat the Scorpions hidden in the sand . If I have such ability, I’ll show it off to everyone . ] Toya

It sounds like Yuna-san is ridiculously strong .

I think Yuna-san is strong, if she could defeat the Kraken . But even when I saw Yuna-san defeating the worms and scorpions, I was looking at her like a pretty bear .

Certainly, she doesn’t seem to fit the bill .

[But don’t you care how Jō-chan fights? Aren’t you worried about that?] Toya

[Of course I’m worried, That cute girl stayed behind . ] Mel

[Well then, should we stay behind as well?] Toya

[I want to see how Yuna fights . ] Senia

[Then let’s go see it . ] Toya

Senia-san agrees with Toya-san’s words and tries to turn back .

[Our job is to take Karina out of here . Senia don’t be swayed by Toya’s words . ] Jade

According to Jade-san’s words, we will return top side instead of going back to Yuna-san .

We passed the area where Yuna-san killed the Scorpions and crossed the bridge made by Yuna-san .

Returning on the path we came from, we can see how Yuna-san is a very amazing person .

We got back to the ground floor of the pyramid where there are a lot of labyrinth passages, then we went and exit the pyramid .

When we got outside, everyone felt relaxed . We may have been too tensed .

Jade-san and his colleagues went to check the Ragaroot .

I will stay with Hugging Bear at the entrance of the pyramid and wait for Yuna-san to return .

[Yuna-san…] Karina

[Are you so worried?] Mel

When I mentioned Yuna-san’s name, Mel-san and Senia-san came from behind .

[Mel-san, Senia-san? Didn’t you went to check the Ragaroots?] Karina

[We are Karina-chan’s escorts, a monster might attack . ] Mel

[Well, of course . I trust Hugging Bear-chan . ] Mel

Mel-san strokes Hugging Bear-chan’s head .

[Oh, Yuna-chan has it good . I also want a summon beast like this . ] Mel

I agree with that . I really want Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan as well .

[In addition, this child and Yuna-chan seems to have their hearts connected, so if anything happened to Yuna-chan he’ll know about it, I think . ] Mel

Certainly, she did said that .

[Hugging Bear-chan, do you sense Yuna-san?] Karina

I don’t know what he is saying .

But if that is true, if there is something happened to Yuna-san, he may sense it .

While we are waiting at the entrance of the pyramid, Uragan-san comes .

Looking around, you can see that the others are still doing the dismantling . It seems that they were still doing that .

[Oi! You’re back?] Uragan

[More or less . ] Senia

[So did you find what you were looking for?] Uragan

[Well, we found it, that part is correct, but we didn’t get it . ] Senia

[You found it but you didn’t get it?] Uragan

We found the location of the crystal plate . But we couldn’t get it .

[What do you mean by that?] Uragan

[Something like being eaten by a monster?] Mel

[I guess you can’t beat that, so you ran away?] Uragan

[Don’t mess with me . That’s the Scorpions’ parent . ] Jade

Jade-san, who returned after taking care of Ragaroot, answered .

[Scorpions’ parent?] Uragan

[You may have heard of the rumors . Sometimes giant monsters appear . ] Jade

[It was great, it was big . ] Mel

Mel-san is trying to reach out to the size of the Scorpion with her hands outstretched .

[You gotta be kidding me . ] Uragan

[Normally that’s what you’ll think . But it’s true . ] Senia

[Well then you gave up and came back?] Uragan

Mel-san shakes her head .

[Yuna-chan is fighting it alone . ] Mel

[…Hey, did you left that Bear Girl alone?] Uragan

Uragan-san’s eyes were wide open, his surprised expression appears due to Mel-san’s words .

[Yea . ] Mel

[Oi!] Uragan

When Mel-san affirmed, Uragan-san gets angry and grabs Mel-san’s collar . (TN: chest… . FBI-san, this guy!)

But Senia-san points a knife at Uragan-san’s neck .

[Let go . ] Senia

[Shit!] Uragan

By Senia-san’s words, Uragan-san releases Mel-san steps away from her .

Fighting is no good .

[Still, I misjudged you . No matter how strong that Bear Girl is, you left her alone with such monster . ] Uragan

[Yuna-chan told us she would stay alone, so we couldn’t help it . ] Mel

[We even tried to stop her from being reckless . ] Jade

I also wanted to stop her .

But I couldn’t .

[Did the Bear Girl really defeated the Black Viper and Tiger Wolf alone?] Uragan

[You know that?] Jade

[There’s one guy in my party who knows about her . I heard a little bit from him . When I first heard it, I laughed with my nose . He said, [It’s dangerous to approach her . ] [It’s better not to be involved,] or [Let’s get out of town . ] And if you ask why, it will sound like a joke . So, when I got this request, I was surprised because there was the Bear Girl, and it looks like your party trusts her . Also I understand now that it’s not a lie after witnessing her killing that giant worm . However, even with these eyes, I can not believe that the Bear Girl is strong . ] Uragan

[Yuna-chan said she will try to fight it, so we couldn’t help it . ] Mel

[That’s why you never came back for her, If you think about it, naturally she would stay behind . ] Uragan

[Fufu . ] Mel

[What’s so funny?] Uragan

[Because I didn’t think that you were so worried about Yuna-chan . ] Mel

[…………Humph! That’s not it . ] Uragan

Everyone began to laugh, because of Uragan-san’s funny attitude .

That’s right . When I first met him in the Adventurer’s Guild, I thought he was scary . But he did remember me, he apologized when he met me at home .

He might be thinking , he may be a kind person, but his face was still scary .

[So, what’s the plan now?] Uragan

[Wait for Yuna . ] Jade

[We have some free time then . Help us with the dismantling . ] Uragan

Uragan-san quickly points his thumb behind him . He is pointing at Uragan-san’s party who are doing the dismantling work there .

[I hope the magician will help us as well . Of course, we will recalculate what we dismantled as a share . ] Uragan

Jade-san and Mel-san nod when they look at each other’s faces .

[I got it . Senia take care of Karina . ] Jade

[Leave it to me . ] Senia

Senia-san responds and hugs Hugging Bear-chan .

Mel-san looks stunned, but she took both Jade-san and Toya-san’s hands, then went to the dismantling site .

[Hugging Bear-chan . Please tell us if you noticed anything about Yuna-san . ] Karina

Yuna-san, please come back safely .
