Chapter 351

351 Bear-san Realizes the Lack of Physical Strength (Day 2)

[Even though, the waves are calm . I’m a little worried about the children being washed away . ] Lurina

Lurina-san looks at the sea and says something like that .

Yes indeed . The waves on the beach here were relatively calm . It’s suitable for playing .

But even small children can drown or be swept away by the waves when the adults take their eyes off of them . Right now they’re playing on the edge of the beach and Liz-san is holding the other children’s hands . But not all can be seen .

And some children can’t swim, so it might be better to make a safe place to play .

I stood up and walk under the bright sunshine .

Hot! My soft skin is slowly burning . I used a towel to protect my skin . Even so, the heat from the sand under my feet rises .

I wondered what it’s like to wear a swimsuit, but it’s hotter than wearing a bear costume . I miss my bear costume since I don’t feel the heat inside it .

[Where are you going, Yuna-chan?] Lurina

Lurina-san asks me when I left the beach house .

[I want the children to feel at ease, so I’ll create a place where they can swim . ] Yuna

When I walk along the beach, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear followed me . In addition, the children followed Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear . And behind the children is Lurina-san with a smiling face . A strange line has been made .

I look around to find a suitable place to build a pool . Everywhere I look seems the same . There’s a stretch of sandy beach from left to right and there are some rocks along the way . I went to a beach where there’s no children playing .

Is it okay around here?

When I reached the shoreline, I thrust the bear puppets forward . But I warned the children behind me as if I just remembered .

[All of you, just stay behind me . ] Yuna

I thrust the bear puppets once again and used earth magic . Then a myriad of poles sticks out from the sea like fences . The size of the fence should be about 25m laterally and about 1m deep into the sea . The water level will change over time, but I will ask Lurina-san and others to be careful in that area .

The fence will prevent children from being swept away by the waves . The waves can still enter, so they can still play normally at the beach .

[Lurina-san, please let the children play here . If it still seems narrow, I will widen it . ] Yuna

[As usual, you used magic like it’s nothing . OK, I’ll invite Liz, Elena, and Gill to play here as well . ] Lurina

Lurina-san calls out to Liz-san . The children who were playing other games also gathered in the voice of Lurina-san . There are also figures of Fina and Shuri .

When Liz-san and Elena-san arrived, they were initially surprised at the sight of the fence, but soon thanked me and started playing with the children .

Gill also comes with two children on his back . He’s walking with no expression, but aren’t they heavy? Even so, he’s full of muscle .

When I look at Gill, my eyes lined up with him .

[…………?] Gill

But Gill, walk passed me, he sat on the sand and began watching the children .

What was that about?

[He just stopped thinking about it because he couldn’t understand Yuna-chan . ] Lurina

Lurina-san explains about Gill’s actions just now .

I wonder if it is something that I do not know about?

For the time being, I made a pseudo pool, so they can play with peace of mind . There is Fina watching the children play in the sea .

[Fina you’re not going to play?] Yuna

[Ano . Yuna-oneesan, can you swim?] Fina

Fina timidly asked .

[Me? I think I could swim when I was little . Though I haven’t been swimming in the last few years . ] Yuna

I haven’t swim since elementary school . I wonder, once you learn how to ride a bicycle, you can still ride it even if you haven’t been doing so for a long time . But what about swimming?

[Can you teach me? Because I can’t swim . ] Fina

[Me too~ . ] Shuri

[Please teach us too . ]

When Fina asked, Shuri and other children joined in as well and it became noisy .

As expected, Fina and Shuri couldn’t swim . Even though there is a small river near Crimonia, having a sick mother would have prevented them from going out to play .

[But if you want to learn how to swim, you could just ask Lurina-san to teach…] Yuna

When I look at Lurina-san, there are already few children gathered around her to learn how to swim . Liz-san and Elena-san are helping her .

Is this the only way I can teach?

[It would be nice for me to teach you . I hope I could still swim . ] Yuna

I know how to swim . But it’s weird to teach someone when I don’t know if I can swim . Therefore, I will teach them once I confirm if I can still swim . Nobody wants to be taught by anyone who can’t swim .

(TN: 泳ぎ方は分かる。でも、泳げないのに教えるのは変だ。だから、泳げたら教えることにする。誰だって、泳げない人には教わりたくはないはずだ。)

Fina replied happily to my condition . Do you really want to learn? I will only teach you once I know that I can still swim .

I didn’t really intend to go into the sea, but this time it can’t be helped . I wore a swimsuit because Sherry made it for me . Sherry looked happy when she saw me in my swimsuit . Looking at that face, I can’t help but get on with it .

When I took off my bear shoes and the bear puppets, I asked Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to take care of it . Bear equipments are non-transferable and will not be stolen even if left it on the beach . It’s not portable . However, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear can carry the bear equipment that cannot be transferred, perhaps because they are my summon beast . So when something happens, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear will bring the bear equipment .

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are truly excellent summons . If I ever go back to my original world, I want to go back together with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear . However, even if there is a way to return to the original world, I do not intend to take it .

But I want to see new anime and manga .

I gave the bears equipment to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, then I walked barefoot on the beach . The sand is hot . It’s so hot that the soles of my feet are getting burned . Looking at the children, they’re doing fine . I wonder if there is a different way to train?

For a hikikomori(shut-in) like me who’s always in a cage . It’s a clear answer for the children who moves around every day .

And last but not the least, I took off the towel and handed it over to Swaying Bear .

Next, I did a light exercise before entering the sea . If you enter the sea without a warm-up exercise, your legs will get cramped . Without the bear equipment, I’m no more than an ordinary person .

After a warm-up exercise, I entered the sea . It’s cold . I slowly, swam up to the depth of my chest .

Oh, I can swim . My body still remembers it . I used to swim when I was in elementary school, but I still remember it .

[Yuna-oneechan is amazing . ] Shuri

Shuri and others praised me, but it is embarrassing . I can only swim a little . Long-distance swimming is absolutely impossible, I can’t swim while holding a drowning person, and I can only swim for a short distance .

For the time being, I found out that I could swim, so I decided to teach Fina and the others how to swim .

[Speaking of which, Noa’s group aren’t there . Fina do you know where they went?] Yuna

[Noa-sama? I think, I saw them walking towards that rocky mountain over there . ] Fina

Fina is referring to a rocky boulders that is a little far away .

[Marina and Eru are with them, right?] Yuna

[Yes, they were together . ] Fina

Then there’s nothing to worry about, they’re okay .

I taught Fina and the kids how to swim . But I cannot teach everyone at the same time, so once I put on the bear puppets, I took out the beat board from the bear box . Even if it is called a beat board, it’s just a wooden board . But unlike ordinary boards, it is a beet board made of wood that floats on water .

When I consulted Tirumina-san, she taught me this wood . I gave each of the children a beet board made of the wood and taught them how to use it . The kids happily started swimming with the beat boards . If I put out a big board as a play tool, everyone can ride on it and play .

If it floats, it can also be used as a float . It is a good tool for children to play .

Best of all, it’s a bear-shaped vehicle .

A bear made out of floating fluffy wood . I placed three of those so that there is no competition . When the bear ride comes out, the kids happily ride it .

And that’s how my swimming class started . It will be finished soon . The limit has come to my physical strength .

After teaching the kids how to swim, I laid down at a beach house . I remembered how to swim, but I didn’t have the physical strength to keep on doing it .

[But Yuna-chan, you’re an adventurer . You’re always running in the mountains and fought a lot of monsters . ] Lurina

Lurina-san seems to be shocked when she saw me .

[You’ve held me in a princess carry back then, didn’t you?] Lurina

[As I said before, it’s magic . If I don’t use magic, I can’t even compete against the physical strength of a child . ] Yuna

[I agree with that . Where do the children’s energy to play comes from?] Lurina

But I never thought I don’t have such strength .

I rest my body while using Hugging Bear as a pillow .

[Yuna-oneesan, are you okay?] Fina

Fina brought me a drink .

[Un, I’ll be okay if I take a little break, so go ahead and play with the others Fina . ] Yuna

[I’m a little tired, so I’ll also take a rest . ] Fina

Fina sat next to me . Shuri is playing together with the children . It was fun and nice . In the pseudo pool, children and other members such as Lurina-san and Liz-san are playing happily .

While I’m laying down, taking a little rest, it suddenly got noisy .

[What is this!?] Noa

Judging from that voice, it seems to be Noa . She wasn’t here when I took out the beach house . According to Fina, she said she was going to the rocky area . Apparently she’s back .

[What’s wrong with Yuna-san?] Shia

When they found me lying down, Noa and Shia ran up to me .

[It’s nothing . I just used up all my physical strength and I somehow collapsed . ] Yuna

[Physical strength you said . Yuna-san, you’re an adventurer . ] Noa

It’s the same thing what Lurina-san said . Well, I understand what Noa meant . I who is usually an adventurer and known to have defeated a lot of monsters, became like this .

But, thanks to Bear-san’s cheat, my stats are below than the average person . Though I can’t tell them that .

[Noa, where have you been until now? I didn’t saw you anywhere nearby . ] Yuna

[Yes, there were people fishing at the rocky mountain there, so I was watching and swimming . I was on the other side of the rocky mountain, so I did not notice that there was such a house here . ] Noa

[Did Yuna-san made it?] Shia

[I’m just thinking that everyone can take a short break . ] Yuna

I answered Shia’s question . Well, I mainly use it for myself . But everyone who went out to play can take a short break . I don’t know if they have a lot of energy or the sea is so much fun . Maybe both .

[Noa and the others should take a rest when you’re tired . It’s not good to rest in the strong sunshine . Also, since there’s a drink in the refrigerator, you can take a good amount of water . ] Yuna

[Yes . I was so thirsty that I was thinking of going back at the house . ] Noa

[So you can swim?] Yuna

[Yes, oneesama taught me so I can swim a little . ] Noa

[So what about Misa?] Yuna

There are only two people here, Noa and Shia . I can’t see Misa, Marina, and Eru .

[Misa is training for swimming with Marina . She wants to be able to swim because I can swim . ] Noa

[I taught her after school . It’s good to practice swimming because it will make her classes easier, even before entering school . ] Shia

It’s okay if she’s with Marina and Eru .

When they come back, I’ll tell them about the pool .

Noa and Shia both grabbed a drink from the refrigerator and took a break by my side .

Noa’s swimsuit is different color with the same frills as Fina . Fina is white, while Noa is blue . Shia’s school swimsuit is like more suitable for swimming competition .

And when I was wondering what to do for lunch, the beach became noisy once again . A lot of people came to the beach . They’re mostly adults .

What? I quickly wear my bear shoes and bear puppets .
