As Hugging Bear saw the flying giant hornet, he tried to look around, but there is nothing he could do.
[Whatâs wrong? ] Yuna
In addition to Hugging Bearâs cry , he is pushing my back.
[Whatâs wrong? You want me to follow you? ] Yuna
Hugging Bear respond to my words with , in such a cute voice.
Maybe thereâs something about the giant hornet thatâs flying?
When I use detection skills, I found a human reaction.
[Hu-Hugging Bear! If you noticed some people, donât just cry with such a cute voice, charge! ] Yuna
When I jumped on Hugging Bearâs back, he started chasing the giant hornet that is flying towards the reaction.
You can hear someone screaming.
[Uwa Ä Ä Ä Ä, a giant hornet! ] Man
I see them.
Several giant hornets are attacking a man.
While screaming, the man tries to fend it off by swinging his knife randomly.
However, the giant hornets were only circling around the man and doesnât want to leave.
I shot a Wind Blade towards a giant hornet and split the body of the giant hornet into two.
The man doesnât seem to notice me and still swinging his knife.
I will also defeat the remaining giant hornet with magic, and then there should be no giant hornets buzzing around.
Is he okay?
After I defeated the giant hornets, I went to the man who is sitting down.
[Are you okay? ] Yuna
[Uwa Ä Ä Ä Ä, a bear ~~~~~~] Man
The timid voice came from a man in his 30âs.
The man screamed when he saw Hugging Bear.
Then, while trying pull up his weight, he is swinging his knife randomly.
[Donât come near me!] Man
Quite a noisy person he is.
[If you donât shut up, Iâll feed you to my bear.] Yuna
Hugging Bear slowly approaches as to match with my voice.
[U Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä, donât eat me.] Man
[Thatâs why I telling you to shut up, so you wonât get eaten.] Yuna
[Donât eat me, Iâm not delicious!] Man
Heâs still swinging the knife randomly without looking at me.
Yeah, itâs useless.
Heâs not listening to me at all.
I created water using Water Magic and pour it on the top of the manâs head, who is still sitting down.
[Uwa Ä Ä Ä Ä ] Man
[Are you willing to listen now?] Yuna
[A little girl?] Man
He looked at me, then he looked at his surroundings, while his neck is making a sound.
Apparently, he seems to have returned to sanity.
He then looked at me accordingly.
[You should be grateful because I saved you.] Yuna
When I look at the two giant hornets, the man also look at the giant hornets on the ground.
Alternating his gaze between me and the dead giant hornets.
Then finally, his gaze stops at me.
And heâs staring at me blankly.
[Do you understand the words that are cominâ out of my mouth?] Yuna (TN sorry canât help it, just let this one go.)
[..Ah ...Are you the one who defeated them Young Lady?] Man
[Yes, I am.] Yuna
Well, Iâm also the reason why the giant hornets fled and came over here in the first place.
However, Iâm also the one who defeated them.
The man stood up, but somehow it felt like heâs a little stiff.
[Uh.. The bear is...] Man
Apparently, Hugging Bear is a bit cautious. Itâs so cute.
[If you donât attack me with that knife, then he wonât do anything. So, are you okay Uncle? ] Yuna
[Oh.. Yes, thank you for the help, I was so frightened when a giant hornet suddenly appeared.] Uncle
While thanking me, heâs looking at my appearance.
But Iâm not going to say anything, Iâm not going to say anything, Iâm not!
[So, why is Uncle alone in such a forest?] Yuna
[There is a village not far from here, but the giant hornets appeared in the village recently, so I came to investigate where it came from. ] Uncle
Maybe itâs the same hornetâs nest that I just burned?
According to the Uncle, it seems that the villagers opinions are divided on whether or not asking the Adventurerâs Guild to subdue the giant hornets.
So, if the nest seems to be small, the villagers will handle it by themselves.
But if the nest is large, they will turn to Adventurerâs Guild instead.
Thatâs why this Uncle came to check the giant hornetâs nest.
Even though he might get attacked by a few animals, even though he is panicking, he still insisted to find the nest alone.
However, according to his story, it seems that the some villagers are spreading out to search for it as well.
This uncle was just unlucky, he got attacked by the giant hornets.
[Well about the nest, I think I burned it together with the giant hornets. I may look like this, but Iâm an adventurer, you know. ] Yuna
[.....The Young Lady is an adventurer?] Uncle
Again, heâs staring at my appearance.
Well, itâs because of the Bear Costume right?
Thatâs why he canât believe it, right? RIGHT?
[Yeah, as I was on the process of eradicating the giant hornetâs nest, a few of them managed to escape, so I chased after them, thatâs when I found Uncle being attacked.] Yuna
[Well, if the Young Lady didnât come to help, I would be in danger. I was saved, thank you.] Uncle
Well to begin with, it was my fault for letting it escape.
But it was all thanks to Hugging Bear.
It might have been dangerous if Hugging Bear didnât tell me.
If he died because of me, I might not be able to sleep.
Thanks to Hugging Bear, for telling me.
[Young Lady, is it true that the giant hornetâs nest was already burned down? Along with the other giant hornets?] Uncle
[Yeah, I burned it down with Fire Magic and cut the rest with Wind Magic.] Yuna
Itâs okay because I already destroyed it.
[Iâm sorry, but can you guide me to the nest? I want to see it for myself. ] Uncle
I took the Uncle to the giant hornetâs nest.
[But then again, Iâve never seen a white bear before.] Uncle
The Uncle is looking at Hugging Bear, walking next to me.
Well, white bears do seem unusual.
But, is it just a white bear?
I donât know where is this worldâs Arctic is, but it might be the same white bear that goes to the Arctic and the snowy mountains.
It may be a good idea to search for it next time.
[So, why is the Young Lady in such a place? Did you come to do a subjugation on the giant hornets? ] Uncle
[No, but I came across the giant hornets by chance, so I thought it would be better to just subjugate it. ] Yuna
The Uncle was amazed by my words.
[Young Lady is a remarkable adventurer, despite being small.] Uncle
[I just used a little magic.] Yuna
[Even so, youâre still amazing. I can never be an adventurer, because I am scared of monsters. ] Uncle
In reality, I only had my MMORPG experiences.
(TN for those who didnât know .)
At first, I even thought this world was the game world.
If I didnât have those experiences, I donât know if I can defeat those monsters.
[So, the Young Lady has never been here, where are you from?] Uncle
[The Royal Capital. From there, I was going to go to the desert in the south, but I tried to take a shortcut and got lost when I went into the forest.] Yuna
[Trying to take a shortcut by entering the forest you say?!] Uncle
Heâs looking at me with amazement.
I get what youâre trying to say.
Normally, you canât enter the forest just because you want take a shortcut.
It just increases the chance of getting lost.
I wonât do anything so reckless if I donât have the Map Skill.
I didnât expect getting lost because I could see my location by looking at the map.
I was expecting that I could join the road but...
There is no road in the direction I was going.
[So it seems like there is a town in front of the desert, do you know about it?] Yuna
[Maybe, itâs the town of Callus (Karusu).] Uncle
Oh, town information, GET!
Apparently, he knows the town.
[Where is that town?] Yuna
[Umm, I donât know where it is from here. But if you go near the village, you can see it. ] Uncle
[Really?] Yuna
Certainly, in the forest, it may be difficult to know where you are and where you are going.
However, if you go to the village, just knowing itâs location will help a lot.
It seems that I can escape from being lost safely.
[Is the village near by?] Yuna
[Yes, not too far from here.] Uncle
It seems that the village is near, I will ask him to guide me later.
I came across a giant hornet. And thanks to that, I met someone and taught me the direction of the town.
Well then letâs take the Uncle to the giant hornetâs nest.
The giant hornets that I defeated with Wind Magic were scattered on the ground.
[They really are defeated.] Uncle
[It seems that the cave was the nest of the giant hornets.] Yuna
[Hmm? A Bear?] Uncle
When I pointed the Bear Puppet to the nest cave, the cave was blocked by a Bear Statue.
[Donât worry about it.] Yuna
I check the inside of the cave with my detection skill before removing the Bear Statue.
There is no reaction from the giant hornets.
It seems that the giant hornets was isolated in the cave.
After removing the Bear Statue, the hot air comes out.
It is the effect of the Fire Bear.
[Oh, hot! hot!] Uncle
Iâm fine, but the Uncle canât take it and stepped away from the cave.
[Young Lady, what is this?] Uncle
[I just annihilated the giant hornets by throwing a huge Fire Magic and closed it with the Bear Statue. If you want to confirm it, youâll have to wait for a little while. ] Yuna
Itâs still very hot inside the cave.
Its normal, that you donât want to go in.
You have wait a little longer.
You have to cool it down with water first.
The Uncle tried to peek at the caveâs entrance, but immediately gave up.
He then move to the dead giant hornets outside.
[Young Lady, can I have one of these giant hornets? I want to bring it back to the village and show it to everyone.] Uncle
[You can bring as many as you like.] Yuna
[Do you not need it?] Uncle
Are giant hornets edible?
Iâve seen someone eating a bee on TV, but I donât think I can eat it. So even if you say you can eat it, I wonât.
But I think Fina was studying about dismantling. She was also working at the Adventurerâs Guild to learn dismantling.
And in order to hone her dismantling skill, sheâs dismantling various kinds of monsters and animals in large quantities.
I donât need it, so Iâll get a few giant hornets for Fina to practice her dismantling skill.
[Then, Iâll take some.] Yuna
[Youâre an adventurer arenât you Young Lady? Didnât you need to sell the materials? I think if you sell the needles and the wings, as well as the magic stones, youâll make a lot of money. ] Uncle
[Is that so?] Yuna
[Didnât you know about it? Is the Young Lady really an adventurer?] Uncle
[Iâm not familiar with it because, Iâve become an adventurer just a few months ago.] Yuna
It wasnât a lie.
The first year of adventuring, is treated as a rookie.
So, I am a newbie adventurer.
[It seems true for the Young Ladyâs age. So, what do you want to do? Are you going to take it back with you?] Uncle
[As I have said a while ago, Iâll just take some with me. In return, Uncle will do me a favor.] Yuna
[I see, very well, thank you very much.] Uncle
After choosing several beautiful giant hornets, I put it into the Bear Box.
When the Uncle picked one, he put it into the bag he had.
At that time, Hugging Bear cried .
At the same time, you can hear a buzzing sound.
[Whatâs is it?] Yuna
I saw the wings of a big giant hornet, flying towards us.
Itâs way bigger than the other giant hornets that I defeated. That one is about the size of Hugging Bear.
[Awawa wa wa wa wa wa.] Uncle
The Uncle fell on his back.
I used detection skills.
The display said itâs a giant hornet.
But isnât that the Queen Bee or rather the King Giant Hornet?
It will be different from the ordinary giant hornets that Iâve defeated so far.
[Uncle, is that?] Yuna
[Awawa wa wa wa wa wa.] Uncle
Itâs useless.
He was so frightened that he fell on his back.
For the time being, it may be a Queen Bee, but to make a distinction, I shall call it King Giant Hornet.
When the King Giant Hornet saw a dead giant hornet, it makes its mouth tickle and vibrates its wings.
It seems that the King Giant Hornet, recognized us as the enemy.
Yeah.. Itâs disgusting.. Letâs kill it.
