Chapter 341 Bear-san Holds A Solo Swimsuit Fashion Show.
After returning from Sherry’s workplace, I fell to my bed.
[I’m so tired~.] Yuna
I’m mentally tired. I was surprised at the white school swimsuit, especially the bear’s tail. At the very least, salvation is that the children will be the ones wearing the bear swimsuit.
To be honest, I wanted her to stop. But I can’t say it after seeing Suri’s face, which seems to be very happy. I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in their cub form, they’re so fluffy and soft that can restore my damaged mental health. After playing with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear my mental health was recovered, so I lined up the swimsuits that Sherry made on the bed. I slowly placed the school swimsuit on the edge, it is not like I’m wearing that swimsuit. I look at the remaining swimsuit, from the bikini and skirt to the one-piece that I drew in the illustration.
U~n, I don’t know which one is better.
[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear. Which do you think is better?] Yuna
I asked Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear which is better. But Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear uninterestingly looked at the swimsuits on the bed. Then, after crying [Ku~n], they curled up on the bed.
They don’t seem to be interested in my swimsuit. Well, if they were, I wouldn’t be in this trouble. Having zero interest is just sad.
In other words, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are not reliable this time, so I have to decide for myself.
I looked at my swimsuits and picked up a black and white bikini. Then, I took off my Bear Costume and put on the bikini swimsuit.
What’s this? This feeling that the size fits perfectly? I stand in front of the mirror. Does it look good on me? Though I am concerned about a certain part, I will ignore it. I tried to pose a little, but I don’t know if it suits me.
I silently pick up my next swimsuit. I’m now wearing a one-piece swimsuit that looks like a separate swimsuit ( セパレート 水着), but my legs feel uncomfortable on all of the swimsuits. I put on a pareo, it’s a little better. This time my shoulders feel cold. I want a haori. I put a large towel over my shoulder. Let’s calm down a little, is it safer to cover my body with a larger towel?
(Disclaimer: I’m not endorsing anything, it’s just an example of [Haori].)
Any more than this is impossible for me. I couldn’t choose a swimsuit because I hadn’t swum outside the school pool because it has a fence. Choosing a swimsuit is a task that is too high for me. You might say that I can choose my favorite swimsuit, but I can’t do that. It’s difficult for me who has no experience.
If this is the swimsuits of Fina and Noa, I can judge if they are cute or if it looks good on them. But when it comes to me, none of them look good.
It might be better to raise the white flag obediently and have Tirumina-san choose for me. If I ask Fina, she would simply say, .
By the way, if I ask Suri and Noa, they’ll choose some ridiculous swimsuit, so I’m not going to ask them.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are sleeping. I ended my solo swimwear fashion show and don in my Bear Costume. The moment I wear my Bear Costume, I felt relieved. I may have ended not only as a girl who couldn’t choose her own swimsuit but also uncomfortable when not wearing the Bear Costume.
I silently put my swimsuit in the Bear Box, then lay in between Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. There is still time until the day ends. Let’s think slowly.
It is one way to set aside life problems and nasty things. Time can help.
Will it be solved? I wish I could entrust it to the future.
In the evening. Gentz-san delivered the Scorpion meat.
Yeah, I totally forgot. I had so much mental damage today that I completely forgot about the Scorpion. For the time being, I received it and thanked him. Does it taste like a shrimp?
However, I didn’t have the courage to taste it, so I put it into Bear Box. Although I feel sorry for Gentz-san, I asked him to give it to Anzu and Morin-san too. I have no energy to move today.
The next day, I forgot about my swimsuit (I decided not to think about it) and was simply sprawling in my house.
Is there anything else we need to bring to Mereera?
Technically, even if we forget something, there’s the Bear Gate, also we can buy it in the town of Mereera. Most of the work was done by Tirumina-san, so I have nothing to do.
I made ice cream and I got my swimsuits. Food and ingredients are being organized by Tirmina-san, so I have nothing to do. By the way, what happened to Lurina-san and Gil?
Helen-san said she would contact me when Lurina-san and Gil came back, but I haven’t heard anything bout it yet. Perhaps they might not make it in time. If that happens, there will be no one to take care of the children, but is it okay?
I’ll go to the Adventurer’s Guild later and ask them.
With that in mind, today while I’m being lazy without leaving my house, I heard a knock on the door.
[Yuna-sa~~~~n… Are you there?~~~~~] Noa
I know who’s that voice belongs to. When I open the door, Noa stood there as expected. But I didn’t expect the people behind her.
[Yuna-oneesama, it’s been a while.] Misa
[Misa, you came.] Yuna
Behind Noa is Misa, and behind them is Marina’s party.
[Thank you for inviting me this time.] Misa
[You don’t have to be so formal. I hope you enjoy it.] Yuna
I interrupted Mass’s polite greeting. I don’t need such a polite greeting.
[But you came along, did your parents gave their permission?] Yuna
[Yes. If I’m with Yuna-oneesama, they would give their permission with a peace of mind.] Misa
I’m happy that you trust me. But it increased my responsibility.
[But we’re going with the children of the orphanage and Fina-chan’s family. Is it okay for her to go with them?] Noa
[Of course, Noah. Fina and Shuri will be happy, you’ll see them later.] Yuna
[Yes. I’m looking forward to seeing Fina-chan and Shuri-chan.] Misa
Misa last met Fina only after the royal capital’s school festival.
[So did you come here alone? What about Gran-san?] Yuna
Neither her parents nor Gran-san is here. Gran-san, who entrusted the lord’s work to Misa’s parents, was free, so I thought he would come along. Only Marina’s party came with her to my place. Marina’s party are looking at the Bear House since a while ago.
[I came here with my grandfather. He’s talking with Cliff-sama, so he’s still in Noa-oneesama’s mansion. He told me he’ll come to say hello to Yuna-oneesama later.] Misa
If so, should I say hello to him? I’ll take care of your granddaughter.
Are Marina’s party coming with us to the sea?
I glanced at Marina’s party and they’re still staring at the Bear House.
[Marina and the rest. It’s been a long time.] Yuna
I spoke to Marina, the magician Eru, swordswoman Masrika, and Itia.
[Oh yeah, it’s been a long time. What’s that? Yuna’s house?] Marina
[Yeah, that’s right.] Yuna
Marina alternates between me and the Bear-shaped House. I know what you mean, I’ve seen similar reactions all the time.
[I’ve heard it from Noa-oneesama, but it’s a very cute house.] Misa
[Cute but, why a bear?] Marina
[Don’t ask because there are deep circumstances.] Yuna
Although I just focused on safety, no other house is as safe as the Bear House. It’s a necessity for a single maiden to live.
[Yuna-oneesama, can I go inside?] Misa
Misa approached me with her shining eyes. Her face was saying that she wants to see the interior.
[It’s okay, although the inside is just the same as a normal house.] Yuna
[I don’t mind.] Misa
Misa and the rest were very happy when they entered the Bear House. After they entered the living room, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear that was curled up on the sofa raised their heads.
[Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan!] Misa
Misa hugs Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear who was sitting on the sofa.
[U wa~a, as expected, you’re so cute. Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan, were you doing well?] Misa
<>
[I’m always jealous of Noa-oneesama who can see you anytime.] Misa
[She doesn’t always come to see them, only occasionally.] Yuna
[I’m still envious.] Misa
Noa sometimes coms to play with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear when she is taking a break from study or when she has free time. And there are moments in which Lala-san comes to pick her up.
[For the time being, I’ll serve you some tea, so everyone should sit down and wait.] Yuna
I prepared sweets and put them on the table. Swaying Bear is being held in Noa’s arms while Hugging Bear is in Misa’s arms.
[…Yuna, what about those bears?] Marina
I see. It’s the first time Marina saw Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in their cub forms.
I briefly explain to them about Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
[I knew they were mysterious bears, but they can do that?] Eru
[I thought it was those bear’s cubs.] Itia
Certainly, isn’t it easier to explain it to the people who don’t know?
[Nevertheless, the house is normal.] Marina
[Yeah it is.] Masrika
Marina said so calmly.
That’s what I said from the very beginning.
Marina and her party are strangely looking around the living room. The inside of the Bear House is just like a normal house. There are no bear figurines or bear-shaped objects. Though there are summoned bears, some bear plushies in my room, and bear statues in the bathroom. They kept muttering that there are no bears in the living room.
[Anyway, Yuna is still dressed like that as usual.] Marina
[Isn’t it hot?] Masrika
[Just looking at it makes me feel hot.] Itia
Marina and her party were looking at me while drinking iced tea.
[It’s made of a special material, so it doesn’t feel hot.] Yuna
[Even though Yuna is fine, it’s still hot when looking at it.] Eru
I know that feeling, but I can’t take it off. But it should be better than heat-resistant clothes.
But I wish God would also prepare bear clothes for summer. In the first place, it is wrong to attach the cheat ability to bear equipment. I wish there were a bear pendant, or a ring, or an accessory.
[Then we have to make Misa a swimsuit.] Yuna
[Yes, I decided to ask Yuna-san about that. Will you make it now?] Noa
I can’t decide on that without consulting Sherry.
But I think it would be okay if Temoka-san could help.
[And we have to prepare the swimsuits for the Marina and her party.] Yuna
[We’re good. Since we’re Misana-sama’s escort.] Marina
I imagine so. I feel like the appearance of watching adventurers wrapped in swords and armor watching children enjoy on the beach. In the first place, if such a person is nearby, it will be uncomfortable to play with.
[I asked Sherry to make the Marina and the other’s swimsuits. If you were dressed like that in front of the children playing on the beach, I would stop the children from playing. It’s mandatory to wear it. If you don’t, you’ll either be left in Crimonia or in my house at Mereera.] Yuna
[Do we really need to wear it?] Marina
[Just give up.] Yuna
[So you’ll wear it as well Yuna-chan?] Eru
[………I’ll wear it.] Yuna
Though I don’t want to wear it.
[Ho, that would be priceless.] Marina
[Yeah. it’s not every day you can see Yuna-chan’s appearance other than Bear-san.] Eru
[If that’s the case, we will wear it.] Masrika
Marina and her party are looking at me with interest. Saying that they will wear the swimsuit to protect Misa.
[Marina said, she will always protect Misa.] Yuna
[Misana-sama always give us a priority when making requests, so I’m not going to refuse Misana-sama’s request.] Marina
Eru and the others nodded at Marina’s words.
[My father and my grandfather trust me because Marina’s party is protecting me, that’s why I asked them. Of course, I also trust them.] Misa
[Misana-sama…] Marina
Marina and her party were happy with the words of Misa.
Even when attacked by a group of orcs, they were fighting for their lives without abandoning Misa. It wasn’t strange to abandon them and run away. But without doing that, they protected the horse-drawn carriage of Misa and Gran-san.
It’s probably not one-sided. I’m not sure, I think Misa and Marina’s party have a long-standing relationship.
[Misa seems really important for Marina’s party.] Yuna
[Obviously. Misana-sama is our most important client.] Marina
But when Marina’s party comes along, I wonder if they should also think about the Bear Bus. If Gil and Lurina-san are going to participate, the capacity will be too much. Is it necessary to remodel the Bear Bus?
[But Yuna-oneesama, you’re going to have quite a lot of people. Is it okay to prepare a carriage? Shall we use the carriage we have been riding in?] Misa
Misa asks anxiously. However, even the horse-drawn carriage that Misa was riding on would not be enough.
[I have prepared it properly, so it is okay even if the number of people increases a little.] Yuna
I’ll just lengthen the Bear Bus. But when it gets longer, it will look strange. Should I turn it into a double-decker?
