Chapter 311 Bear-san, Contacts Fina & Departs for the Pyramid.
Jade-san’s and his group were happy to see me and Karina, then after the party they send us off.
That night, I run my magic on the Bear Phone while holding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
{Yuna-oneesan? What’s up?} Fina
I heard Fina’s voice from Bear Phone for the first time in a few days. The Bear Phone is a really useful because you can talk to that person even if you are far away.
[I was wondering what’s going on there, nothing bad I hope?] Yuna
{Yes, it’s okay, but…} Fina
The voice of Fina that I heard from the Bear Phone felt a little troubled.
[Is something wrong?] Yuna
{Karin-oneechan and Anzu-oneechan, doesn’t like to have their bodies measured just like Yuna-oneesan…} Fina
Is that so?
However, Karin-san and Anzu, I know that feeling.
Fina, will be a little more mature as well and you will feel the fear of your size being measured.
But both Karin-san and Anzu are bigger than me, so it’s okay.
I’m not one of them, regarding that… Ugh.
[Then, what about the sizes?] Yuna
{When Sherry-chan was about to cry, they let her measure it.} Fina
Sherry, when did you learn to act?
I don’t want you to be a bad woman, so I have to teach her not to use it on men.
{That’s not it. It was a job that Yuna-oneesan directly asked, but she got sad when she couldn’t do it.} Fina
It seems that the voice in my heart was leaking.
Sherry is not a bad girl, but a serious adult.
That makes me even worried.
[Are things okay over there?] Yuna
{When I told everyone about going to the sea, all of them were so happy that it made it difficult for my mom and the director to calm down the noisy children.} Fina
Fina’s voice tells me how hard it is, but Fina is also a child, so I want to set it up quickly.
But I’m glad they’re all happy.
And it seems she’s the happiest one.
[Is it okay for someone else to take care of the birds?] Yuna
{My mother was talking to Mylene-oneechan. So maybe it’s okay.} Fina
That solves one of the problems.
If they couldn’t take care of the birds however, I’ll have to rethink about the schedule.
[What about the swimsuits?] Yuna
{Somehow Sherry-chan is very motivated.} Fina
[What do you mean?] Yuna
{She said, She seems to be having fun thinking about colors and patterns.} Fina
What I drew was a monochrome.
So the color and the small details are left to Sherry.
[Come to think of it, have you heard what happened to my swimsuit?] Yuna
She just measured the size and I haven’t decided on a swimsuit.
It’s not a good idea, but I want her to stop being weird.
{Ah, Yuna-oneesan. I’m sorry, My mother is calling me.} Fina
[It’s fine, go to her. If anything happens, please contact me. I’ll use the Bear Gate, so I can get there instantly.] Yuna
{Yes, I understand. Yuna-oneesan, please come back as soon as possible.} Fina
The call was cut off.
It seems to be going well for the sea excursion. Then I’ll have to settle the problem here quickly and go home.
And so, the day we’re going to the pyramids came.
There seems to be another party besides Jade-san’s group.
Before we leave, we are gathered at Balima-san’s house to meet each other.
I’m staying at Balima-san’s house so I’m here first, then Jade-san’s group and finally the other party comes.
[The Bear the other day.] Adventurer
As soon as he entered the room, the man looked at me and said that,
Who? Have we met somewhere?
Noticing that I’m tilting my head, Karina, who was on my side, reminded me.
[He’s the adventurer that Yuna-san protected me from.] Karina
Ah, from that time. Then, looking from behind him, there is the adventurer who shouted from that time.
And so, the self-introduction etc. were done smoothly.
The party of five people. The leader-like-man, his name is Uragan. I heard the names of the other members, but I kinda forgot. Well, I don’t need it anyways.
Then, the final confirmation of the contents of the request is performed by Balima-san.
However, it seems that there was already a detailed information the day before. Today’s meeting will be about the assembly of the participating members and a final confirmation of the contents of the request.
[Then we would escort this Bear and your daughter up to the pyramid.] Uragan
The adventurer who pushed down Karina the other day seems to be an escort to the pyramid. It seems that this happened after we talked to Balima-san yesterday.
And Jade-san’s group will follow us to the pyramid.
[Are you sure you want to follow us to the pyramid and escort my daughter?] Balima
[Basically, Yuna will do the protecting, we’ll just do the sub-protecting.] Jade
[Still that’s going to help.] Balima
Balima-san is really grateful.
Well, there are only two parties who actually received it, so you’ll have to thank them.
The discussion is over and we’re leaving for the pyramid.
I’m riding Swaying Bear, Karina is riding on Hugging Bear.
Jade-san rented two Ragaroots, Jade-san and Mel-san were riding on one, Toya and Senia-san were on the other. While Uragan’s party, each of them were riding on a Ragaroot.
Uragan’s party were surprised when they saw my Bears, but Jade-san gave some explanation and made a subtle face.
Even so, while the Ragaroots resembling lizards are lined up, the (Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear line ups) feels out of place.
Well, even if it does, I will still ride Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
While getting close to the pyramid, we can see worms moving in the desert with naked eye.
I’ll try using Bear Detection Magic.
There they are.
Some of the worms are not moving, so they can’t be seen by the naked eye.
[Hey, the numbers are so many.] Uragan
Uragan raised his voice, but we all know that.
I see that you can see so many of them, but I can see more.
[What are you going to do? Are you going to brace it and run straight to the pyramid?] Uragan
[What will you do, Yuna?] Jade
Jade-san asks me.
[Why are you asking that bear?] Uragan
[Balima-san told us to follow her instructions if possible.] Jade
[Oi oi, what is the leader of the C-rank party saying? Do you really want to follow the instructions of such a Bear-girl?] Uragan
Uragan laughs with his nose at Jade-san’s words.
Speaking of which, did you know my rank?
By the way, Uragan’s party seems to be at D rank almost reaching C rank. Does that mean that I have also received a request for C rank?
[We’ll follow her. She’s the strongest among all of us here.] Jade
[Are you really saying that?] Uragan
[Once you know Yuna’s ability, you will be convinced.] Jade
[I don’t want to die following a bear.] Uragan
[You just have to escape. Permission may have been issued by the client.] Jade
Balima-san has also said that if you feel danger, you can come back.
[That’s right. I’ll get away then.] Uragan
Well, you can leave for free. I’ll protect Karina.
[Well then Yuna-chan. What are we going do now?] Mel
Mel-san asks.
Even if you ask me what to do.
I’ll look at my detection skills and think a bit.
[Because it’s troublesome, do you want to beat them all?] Yuna
I don’t know what’s going on inside the pyramid and if they chase us into the pyramid, it’ll get annoying. In that case, it is safer to defeat them first and it will be easier to return home.
[Oi oi, are you serious?] Uragan
[We’ll have to beat them anyways.] Yuna
It will be defeated eventually. The only difference is whether it is now or later.
[Yuna, how will you do it?] Jade
[I don’t mind doing the same as before, I hope everyone will do their best.] Yuna
[Seriously…] Toya
Toya is making an absurd look.
That’s the easiest and best. A worm may come to the corpse if it falls badly in the sand.
[Hey, explain it to us.] Uragan
I dug out the worm and other members stabbed it.
It’s an easy job.
Jade-san explains this to Uragan on my behalf. Thanks to Jade-san for his care. He has been dealing with the feeling of being proactive, as before, to avoid any trouble.
Speaking of which, you were good at handling Bakaranger back then. (TN: Idiot Rangers, from the golem mines.)
Jade-san might be good at handling this kind of thing.
[You can do that?] Uragan
After Jade-san explained, Uragan made a surprise voice.
[We guarantee that she can. The question is whether we can kill the worm before it dives into the sand.] Jade
[Fufu, if Missy can really do that, we’ll defeat it before it escapes.] Uragan
According to Jade-san, the worm alone is weak. However, the problem is the sandy area where worms live and the worms burrowed in the sand are the troublesome ones. It’s the same with Uragan, so if you can defeat it, you’ll feel like doing it huh.
Well, I’ll let you do it.
[That’s it. It seems that this bear lady will make the worms pop out of the sand. We’ll hit it. That’s just the job. I don’t want any of them to escape.] Uragan
When Uragan talks to his friends, everyone replies aloud.
That’s because you can’t tell the number of worms. More than everyone thinks.
[So what about the share? Because we have more people, do we have more to share?] Uragan
[I don’t need it, I’ll give it all to you guys.] Yuna
[Of course. We’ll go to the pyramid after defeat them. If you can get the monsters over there, we’ll give half our share.] Jade
[It’s a deal then.] Uragan
Uragan laughs.
Jade-san laughs as well.
Who won the business talk?
Uragan seems to be glad to get more rewards and Jade-san seems to be glad he forced him to dismantle. Is this a lot of worms and rewards such as magic stones that we should be pleased? Only Uragan can tell if he should be saddened by the amount of dismantling.
[Karina its dangerous, so stay here with Hugging Bear. You must never leave Hugging Bear.] Yuna
[Yes, Yuna-san, please be careful.] Karina
[It’ll be alright. We’ll defeat them and come back. Hugging Bear, take care of Karina. You can go back to the city in case something goes wrong.] Yuna
Hugging Bear replied with sad .
Apparently, he doesn’t want to stay behind to protect Karina, but he also don’t want to leave her.
[I’m all right, when it comes down to it, I’ll escape at the expense of Toya.] Yuna
[Oi!] Toya
Did you hear that? It would be stupid as a man to eavesdrop on an important conversation between me and Hugging Bear.
Well, I’ll ignore Toya and persuade Hugging Bear.
[Then, if you don’t drop Karina, you can come and help me.] Yuna
When I stroked the head of Hugging Bear, he cried and agreed.
Then, I rode Swaying Bear and for some reason Mel-san got behind.
[It would be nice to have someone who can use magic in the back.] Mel
What’s with that?
I can only see it as she wants to ride Swaying Bear.
[If I swing my sword, Mel might get hurt.] Jade
I can’t refuse it if Jade-san put it that way.
[If you fool around, I’ll drop you.] Yuna
[You know, I’d never do that.] Mel
After saying that, she grabs on my clothes.
Then Senia-san offers to escort Karina and gets on Hugging Bear’s back.
No matter how I look at it, you just want to ride Hugging Bear.
[Karina-chan, I will protect you, so don’t worry.] Senia
But if you’re going to escort her then, that would help as well.
Senia-san’s handling of knives is top notch, even if she has difficulties in her personality.
A worm would be an easy prey.
When each preparation is complete, the worm subjugation operation is executed.
Swaying Bear starts running.
Jade-san and Toya, who’s riding on the Ragaroot, are running along behind me on my right and Uragan’s party, riding their Ragaroot behind me on my left.
An air bullet was launched from the Bear Puppet and a worm about the size of a wolf jumps up. Jade-san and Toya chopped it up.
Behind them, Uragan’s party were surprised. You don’t have the time to be surprised.
I ride right, left, right, right, left while shooting air bullets into the sand. And each time, a worm jumps out of the sand and falls onto the sand. The worms flops like a fish that has fallen to the ground trying to escape into the sand, but Uragan’s party also attacks and doesn’t let it escape. In addition, Mel-san cuts up the worm with the wind magic and knocks it down.
It feels good.
[Well then let’s speed it up!] Yuna
Swaying Bear increases his speed.
[Oi!] Toya
[Wait! Bear!] Uragan
[Do not be silly!] Jade
Pretending that I don’t hear a thing, I was digging worms steadily in quick succession.
It was a big catch.
It was a bunch of worms though.
[Shit!] Toya
[You guys, don’t let them run into the sand.] Uragan
Uragan seems to have given up as well and tries to chase it seriously.
Well, if it seems impossible, I would also join the attack.
When a large air bullet is driven in, they jump out altogether. There are five of them.
I’ll be a little happy if these are not worms, however I’m not happy because I’m not good with insects.
I’ll use my detection skills to focus on where there are many worms and attack them. After we pass here, the path of the worm’s corpse party will be completed.
Author’s Note:
And that’s how we’re left for the pyramid.
