《Teddy Bear | WinRina》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Katrina had to rush out of the house because she was few minutes too late. Sure she was left with a hour to doll herself up but it can't be help when Winter, in her new set of clothes which was Katrina's, kept asking her what are these and what are those, followed by her endless "Master?"
She has noted in her mind to tell the bear to stop calling her that later.
But one thing she was sure of, Winter has no knowledge at all.
She thought about shooing her out but, she knows nothing! Winter looks, and sound so fragile and innocent. Not to mention cute, somehow. Winter was tugging Karina's shirt when she saw her making her way out of the house, "Master, where are you going?" followed by a pout. She can't help but to pat her cheeks, telling her "I'll be back, just don't go anywhere, okay?"
The bear looked down on her feet, but stopped tugging anyway. "Be back soon.." She mumbled before Yujin lured her away from the scene with a cookie.
"Ooh! What is that??" Curiousity once again won over Winter as she followed Yujin, who eyed her sister to go already.
Katrina was really thankful. But somehow she felt a little disappointed when Winter turned her attention too quick. But that didn't really matter as for the moment, she really needs to hurry up.
Sigh of relief escaped her mouth when 'Kwangya' the ice cream parlour where she was suppose to be with Aeri and Ningning in 20 minutes ago, she checked the time on her watch.
Luckily for her, the two can still be seen when she popped her head in the parlour, she chuckled watching as Aeri kept pushing and pulling Ningning's ice cream when she wanted to scoop it.
She stopped her antic when she saw Katrina walking towards them, giving Ningning a chance to snatch her ice cream for Aeri and protecting it like her whole life depended on it.
" What took you so long?? My ice cream is melting already!" The satan stood up and puts her hands on Katrina's shoulders.
"Idiot, you already finished your ice cream." Ningning huffed, slightly flipping her locks so the ice cream won't stain it. Katrina glared at Aeri who's still in her act.
Katrina then settled herself on the empty part of the round table. "Sorry, the force is not with me today." Ningning passed her the banana and chocolate swirl that they ordered for her, "Unusual morning?" She took the ice cream which hasn't, by God's grace, fully melted yet not before mouthing a thank you.
"You have no idea."
"What happened?" It was Aeri and her two besties are now eyeing her.
Katrina bit her lower lips. "Well.."
She took a deep breathe before continuing. "I bought home a teddy bear that was stranded on the street yesterday on my way home."
"Okay?" Aeri's eyes twitched at the thought of the granny bringing home a teddy bear, not knowing whether it's a bomb or not. She was about to asked.
"I know what you guys are thinking and NO it's not a bomb." She rolled her eyes before stuffing herself with her ice cream.
They both laughed awkwardly as Katrina knew what they were thinking.
"The teddy bear.. It somehow caught my attention. I mean- who would leave a cute little stuffed animal on the street? It's not even dirty and it looks new, smells nice too! So I bought it home." She glanced at the two, they just nodded, hinting her continue.

"Well... It was so cute that I hugged it to sleep."
"Whaa? You hugged a stuffed animal to sleep?" Aeri was now jaw dropping when the grandma just admitted something embarrassing despite their current age. Ningning, on the other hand, tried not to laugh. The reactions she's receiving now made her frown.
"Yah.. That's not the point of the whole story! I haven't finish yet!" She whined.
"Okay okay, then what happened?"
"It..." Katrina paused as she recalled the event this morning. Blushing really hard, it wasn't left unnoticed by the two. It made them really curious this time. "Hurry up! What happened?" Aeri egged her on but there's no response.
Aeri leaned back on her seat and huffed, Katrina was testing her patience. "You're making it look like this teddy bear turned into a human and you were hugging its naked body until you woke up!" She exclaimed sarcastically which made Ningning burst out laughing. "Oh! That's a good one!" They high-fived.
Their laughter faltered when Katrina was eye-ing them in disbelief. Hey eyes were bulging out, jaw dropping. "H-How??" She breathed out, it was almost inaudible.
"How what?" Aeri furrowed her eyebrows.
"How did you know?"
"What?"
"..."
"..."
There was a long pause as the three of them stared at each other before it hits Ningning. Now choking hard on her ice cream followed by hard coughs, while Aeri almost fell backward but ended up hitting her knees hard on the table instead, she was yelping. If the situation Katrina was in wasn't serious at all, she'll be laughing her guts out at the scene.
The other customers are now turning to the ruckus made.
Ningning as still coughing hard while hitting her chest to calm the pain down. Meanwhile, Aeri was holding her knees up, hugging them while mumbling words that no one can't make them out as if she was cursing in French. Katrina had to stand up and bowed to the public, apologizing on the behalf of the idiots.
"Can you guys quiet down? We're gonna get kicked out if you guys don't!" It took them a few minutes calm down but they're still panting from the pain. Karma, Katrina thought but she tried to keep her calm expression when she just wanted to laugh hard.
"A-Are you serious?" The two looked quite terrified after regaining themselves. Katrina only nodded. "But that's stupid!" Aeri claimed once more. "You're the one who came out with the idea!" Katrina defended.
She sighed for the nth times today, "Look if you guys don't believe me, follow me back home later. You guys are free today, right?" The two nodded.
"Hold on- She's still at you hou- I mean, sorry but is it a girl or?" Ningning's question kinda took her by surprise.
"Yeah."
"She's still at your house??!" Now this was the split personality Katrina mentioned before.
"I can't shoo her away! She has negative knowledge about everything! If let her out, she might get killed or kidnapped! She's... innocent and kinda cute." She fiddled with her fingers, cheeks turning pink.
Her two besties can't hide their grin as they watch their friend getting all timid. "Huh." They huffed in unison. "Whatever, anyway I gotta grab some clothes for her. Accompany me later, then we'll head to my house."
"Mkay." The set of questions doesn't stop there as Ningning and Aeri kept bombarding her questions about Winter, she can't really answer all.

"So you're telling me that you're obliged to serve your 'Master'-" Yujin quoted in the air with her hands, "Who is Katrina because she activated you by kissing you on the lips when you were a teddy?"
Yujin and Winter are now sitting in front of each other, on the dining table as Yujin was just eyeing Winter who was munching down cookies and now slurping a box of orange juice, looking all so innocent. Yujin almost can't believe it. Winter is also now dressed with Katrina's cropped tee and short shorts that Yujin randomly picked from her unnie's wardrobe because her unnie was busy dolling up. Winter couldn't stop walking around asking her questions, Yujin felt sorry.
"What is a kiss?" Winter tilted.
Yujin mentally facepalmed herself before answering, "A kiss is when you put your mouth on someone else's like how Katrina did to you when you were still a teddy bear. Somehow." She grimaced upon her own explanation.
"Oh! Yes." Winter nodded rapidly.
"And you can also automatically detect Katrina's name when she kissed you when you don't even know your own name?" She raised a brow, leaning back a bit while crossing her arms.
"Yes.."
"I can't believe you don't know your own name!" Yujin threw her hands up.
Winter flinched from her sit, "It's not like Winwin doesn't know! Winwin name was marked behind Winwin neck and Winwin can't read!"
"Marked? By who?"
"Uhh..Winwin's creator? I don't know.." Winter shrugged.
Now this caught Yujin's attention. "Who is your creator and where are you from? I mean, before Katrina found you?"
Winter pondered for a moment. "Winwin.. Don't know actually. Winwin can't remember anything. But Master has found Winwin, it doesn't matter anymore as it was Winwin's destiny!" She chirped. Yujin stopped digging until then. But she can't help but to smile at how adorable Winter is and how many times she pronounced her name wrongly.
"Your age?"
"Probably the same as Master since she's the one who activated Winwin."
"Hmmm..." Yujin just can't stop herself from being curious about Winter because she just kept getting more interesting as questions goes by. "Any talent?"
"What is that?"
Yujin heaved a sigh. "Why must I explain everything?" she mumbled before making her way to the fridge, grabbing 3 oranges. It's the only thing she can do to explain to Winter.
Good thing that Yujin is one with high patience.
"Oh! What are those??" Winter pointed at the oranges in Yujin's hands. "These are fruits called oranges."
"What are fruits?"
"Fruits are sweet and edible things that grows out of trees."
"What are sweet, edible and trees?"
Yujin took a deep breathe, trying not to spit out words that'll make Winter threw her more what is and what are. "Sweet is something that makes you giddy after eating, edible is that just you just did when I gave you those cookies, and trees are-" She pointed out at a tree outside the window. Winter followed the direction of her finger and mouthed an "O".
"Now, personal talents are-" Yujin positioned the oranges in her hands before she starts juggling, one of the thing she knows how to do after training for weeks. There's no personal reason why she wanted to learn. She just did it.
"Oh!! That's amazing! What were you doing just now?" Winter was amused after the latter finished her mini performance. Yujin smiled proudly. "It's called juggling."
Winter quickly went to grab the oranges from Yujin's arms and positioned them in her hands like how Yujin did earlier. It took her by surprise.
"Uh Winter, I don't think that.." Her jaw dropped when Winter started juggling perfectly like how she did to show Winter earlier.
Winter ended it by catching all 3 oranges and putting them on the dining table.
"Winwin has a personal talent!!!" The bear shouted, her fists held high and eyes disappearing when she successfully copied Yujin. "Heol." Was all Yujin can say before holding her right palm out to Winter for a high-five.
The bear's grin turned into a confused look when she saw it. "Why are you touching the air?"
Yujin blinked before laughing. "You're supposed to slap my hand back."
"But that's not good!" The bear frowned. The latter shooked her head as she pull her right hand out and like she did. "This is something that we do when we're happy." Yujin then high-fived Winter. Her face went blank after the high-five. She slowly brought her hand to her face, staring at her own palm.
"Happy?" Winter wasn't looking at Yujin when she asked this time.
She smiled. "How do you feel after juggling those oranges successsfuly?" her lips formed a thin line, not knowing the wave of emotion that encountered her a moment ago.
"That's happiness." She simply stated, now earning Winter's attention.
"Like...When Master found me?"
Yujin only walked next to her and patted her on the head. "Just like how Katrina found you."
"Then I am very happy!" Her eyes disappeared once more.
She poked her cheek. "You know, you really looked like a bear at some point."
"What is a bear?
—
The trio have reached the house with a few bags in their hands. But mostly Winter's new clothes in Katrina's.
"I'm not that gullible to believe your nonsense tales but I kinda hope what you told us are true." The satan giggled only to receive a nudge from Katrina.
"And why is that?" The youngest one asked.
"Y'know, Katrina said the bear knows nothing, right?"
"And..?"
Katrina groaned. Knowing where this is going. "If you teach her stupid things, I swear to God, Uchinaga Aeri-" She threw a glare at both of her friend before twisting the door knob open. Making her way in without looking.
"I just thought that maybe she-" Aeri was about to end her sentence but only to have her jaw, and Ningning as well, drop.
"What?" Katrina frowned, not until she followed their gaze inside her house.
Winter was raising her hands up after landing perfectly from a flip. Katrina's cropped tee on her slightly lifted, revealing her firm abs. The serious look on her face enhancing her side features.
The trio's jaws are still dropping. Katrina's short shorts on Winter also didn't help when it reveals her soft legs. She has noted down to knock Yujin head later for picking such clothes.
The seriousness on the bear's face turned overjoy at the sight of her 'Master'. She grinned widely before running towards Katrina , crashing her body against her. "Master, you're back!"
It was the first time for the three of them to have their jaw dropped that low.

One day, when the young man was 13, he met his first spirit contract, and his Legend begun there. The Legend of the creator of the ultimate cultivation Scripture in history. The creator of the Primordial Evolution Scripture, Jing Guanyu! The Primordial Emperor! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The inspiration for Book (brackets say roughly what I got inspiration from) Do note: I do completely copy anything from any books. All of this book is original and all the books mentioned below are simply inspiration that gave me the ideas in regards to whats in the brackets. It may seem similar (like with MW I also use the E-E-D cultivation but my definitions and cultivation realms are different from the inspirations) > Martial World (Cultivation Paths) > Lord Xue Ying (Non-Generic Plot) > Stellar Transformations (Unique Cultivation Technique) > Consuming Earth, Devouring Skies (Character Development) > Ancient Godly Monarch + Invincible (Martial Spirits + Own touch to this idea) > The Storm King + Lament of the Fallen (The Soul Realm/Soul Domain) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Final words: Ok, I will just say that there are several reasons why the MC's cultivation speed is so mediocre despite how "talented" he is. There are logical reasons and they will be explained when necessary. Just remember that cultivation speed isn't everything. Hope you enjoy. I will take constructive feedback and logical criticism. However, I will not even reply to illogical criticism, rants or salty people who got pissed off because the main character didn't get "that divine medicine" or "this divine sword" or whatever. Note: I have marked all 4 of the content warning boxes due to a uncertainty in how dark, gory, descriptive or traumatizing my story will get. Btw, the cover isn't my property but was gotten from a website on mythology (greek I think). IF they ask me to take it down, then I shall. IF NOT, then IDGAF. LOL
