[Yuna-chan, itâs been a long time... So this is the rumored Yuna-chanâs bear.] Mel
Mel-san touches Swaying Bear without fear.
Speaking of which, I have never summoned Swaying Bear in front of Jadeâs party before, but you are petting him like it was the most natural thing in the world.
[So the rumors were true.] Mel
Following Mel-san, Senia-san also approaches Swaying Bear to pet it as well.
The merchants were frightened, but these two doesnât appear to be afraid.
This might be the difference between the adventurers and the merchants.
While Swaying Bear is being troubled, Jade-san is coming towards me while raising his hand.
[Yuna, thank you very much, you saved us from trouble.] Jade
He thanked me, but even if I didnât help, Jade-sanâs group would have been able to defeat them without suffering any damage.
Well, with my help they saved some time.
[So why is Yuna here?] Jade
I asked them that as well.
Jade-sanâs group mainly works in the royal capital.
Like from that time with the golem subjugation, escorting Sheaâs schoolmates for their training, and the school festival.
Iâve also heard that sometimes they go to another place to work.
Are they the same as Blitzâs group or is working in the desert a trend?
[Iâm on a job. Iâm doing a delivery in the city of Dezerto ahead.] Yuna
[Thatâs the same as us.] Senia
[We are heading to the city of Dezerto as well.] Mel
Well, even if you want go to the next country, it seems like you first have to go through the city of Dezerto, and basically since weâre traveling along the pillars, the goal is the same.
Everybody is coming from the direction I came, but the direction of movement seems the same.
[Umm, Jade-san... That girl with the bear..] Merchant
While me and Jade-san are talking, the merchants anxiously asked.
But theyâre mostly afraid of Swaying Bear.
[As youâve just witnessed from the battle earlier, sheâs an adventurer dressed like this. As long as you donât do any harm to them, the bear wonât attack.] Jade
Jade-san explained in my place.
But saying .
Yet thereâs no way I can refute.
The merchants stared at me with a puzzled look at Jade-sanâs description, but they relaxed when they realized that the bear was not dangerous.
[But, Jade-san. Is this your first time to see Swaying Bear?] Yuna
[Iâve only heard stories from fellow adventurers. And also if youâre in Crimonia, youâll definitely hear stories about Yuna.] Jade
[I heard Yuna-chan is getting out of the town, on a bear.] Mel
Speaking of which, they knew I had defeated both Goblin King and Black Viper.
It seems that they also knew the rumors about the Kraken, so itâs no wonder they are aware about Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
[Oi, you guys! Help me out here instead of talking. Am I going to dismantle these by my self?] Toya
As we were talking, Toya is shouting while dismantling the worm, alone.
[You can do it by yourself.] Senia
[Do your best.] Mel
[No, thereâs too much, please help me.] Toya
Certainly thereâs too many.
About 20 sandworms are rolled like balls on the sand.
[If we donât do it quickly, other monsters might come close.] Jade
[Canât help it then.] Mel
[Toya the blockhead.] Senia
[Hey, why am I the bad guy here?....] Toya
Jade-san will help with the dismantling.
However, looking at them dismantling, it seems that only the magic stones are being taken.
[Hey, Bear Princess too, please help.] Toya
[Me?] Yuna
Unexpected words came out of Toyaâs mouth.
[We can finish quicker and equally share the magic stones. You have to dismantle it yourself though.] Toya
[I donât need it.] Yuna
In the first place, I cannot dismantle.
I just brought it home and asked Fina.
If Fina doesnât want to dismantle the worms, then I will not take them home.
[You donât want it?] Jade
[Because I canât dismantle.] Yuna
I firmly refuse to dismantle.
I canât do what I canât.
The four of them were surprised with what they heard.
[You canât dismantle?] Senia
[Yuna-chan, youâre an adventurer right?] Mel
[You were very strong, yet...] Toya
[You gotta be kidding me.] Jade
It seems strange.
Because itâs impossible for a normal fragile 15-year-old girl to dismantle monsters.
Moreover, Worms like larvae are impossible.
Well, girls of about 7 to 10 year olds, are dismantling monsters in this world.
[I donât need the reward for subjugation, so I wonât dismantle it.] Yuna
[Well, if we do the dismantling, will you burn the worms?] Jade
Jade-san offers an alternative without forcing me to dismantle.
[Do you burn them? Iâve heard the worms were delicacy to some people.] Yuna
[Thatâs a different worm... Sand worms are not delicious and are not eaten.] Mel
[Moreover, the delicacy are the big worms. Very rarely there are large worms, thatâs what most likely Yuna is talking about.] Jade
Apparently sandworms are not good.
Whatâs more, it seems the only delicacy is the big worm that Iâve killed.
Small worms are no good.
I wonder if the worm that I used as bait at that time was able to fish the Kraken because it is delicious?
I donât know the food culture of this world.
[Thatâs why if you take only the magic stone and leave it like that, other monsters might come close. So itâs the adventurerâs rule to burn off unnecessary things.] Jade
[Because it will bother those who will pass here later.] Mel
Ah, that time Sanya-san was saying that the goblin corpses must be burned when I defeated the 10,000 monsters.
I now know the reason, so with the help of Mel-san, I decided to magically burn the sandworms, after taking the magic stones.
Since the dismantling work was done by four people, the recovery of the magic stone was quickly done and the disposal of the sandworms was settled.
By the way, is the dismantling skill a necessary skill for an adventurer?
I have zero intention to learn it.
[Alright then, if we stay here for a long time, we might see another monster, so letâs get a move on.] Jade
Jade-san gave instructions to the merchants to resume their journey.
The merchants ride on the Ragaroot so that they can move quickly.
[What about you, Yuna?] Jade
[Iâm going ahead.] Yuna
I donât have to go with them, so Iâll go ahead with Swaying Bear.
I turned my eyes to the place where Swaying Bear is.
[............ï¼ï¼] Yuna
At the end of my gaze, it looks like Swaying Bear is being hugged by Mel-san and Senia-san.
[Yuna-chan, letâs go together.] Mel
[I agree. I want to ride on his back.] Senia
[No way.. Iâll be the one riding him.] Mel
No, no, that would be strange.
Why is this happening?
[Umm, can you both step away from Swaying Bear?] Yuna
[Well then Yuna-chan. Didnât you have a white bear as well? ] Mel
[Rumor has it that there is a black and a white.] Senia
Are you listening people?
Youâre not listening, are you?
But it seems that they know about Hugging Bear as well.
[...I have.] Yuna
[I wanna see him.] Mel
[Well, Iâm in a hurry.] Yuna
[Thatâs right... Well then, letâs move out.] Senia
For some reason, two people are trying to ride on Swaying Bear.
Swaying Bear looks at me with a troubled expression.
[Both of you are bothering Yuna. Weâre moving, so get on the Ragaroot! ] Jade
Jade-san, who was watching the two, gave them a warning.
However, the two looked displeased at Jade-sanâs words.
[I want the bear.] Mel
[Me too.] Senia
No, because Swaying Bear is mine.
[Come on, hurry up!] Jade
[Alright, I get it.] Senia
[Jade is a meanie.] Mel
The two reluctantly step away from Swaying Bear and move to their Ragaroot.
[Iâm sorry about those two.] Jade
Jade-san apologizes but I was saved.
[Well then, weâll rest on the next pillar. Yuna how about it, I want to split the magic stone.] Jade
[As I said earlier, I donât need it.] Yuna
[Thatâs not good. As an adventurer, this is another step for your future endeavors. I donât mean to give you a lot, weâll just divide it equally.] Jade
I canât refuse if you say it like that, so I decided to go with Jade-san to the next pillar.
Iâm riding on Swaying Bear, weâre tagging along behind.
Jade-san escorts four merchants.
Each of them seems to be a different merchant. In this world, merchants sometimes ask for escort when traveling together in a group.
In some cases, the adventurerâs guildâs request sometimes announces that
Jade-sanâs crew and the others were silent during the journey.
It seems to reduce exhaustion.
Well, itâs surprisingly hard to talk in the hot weather.
A Ragaroot is surprisingly a fast runner in the desert.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Indeed, it was the vehicle of choice when traveling in the desert.
Well, still, Swaying Bear is faster.
After running for a while, we arrived at the pillar and took some rest.
The merchants and Jade-san got off their Ragaroot and they are now preparing for a break.
We entered the shadow of the pillar and gave water to the Ragaroot. Mel-san and Senia-san who gave water to the Ragaroot came over.
[Yuna-chanâs bear is fast.] Mel
[It is strange that a bear is running in the desert.] Senia
For me, the existence of a large lizard is more strange.
Well, I gave up the thought because itâs a different world with monsters.
[So Yuna-chan, what about a white bear?] Mel
Apparently, she remembered it.
Well, I was going to switch Bears anyways.
I thanked Swaying Bear and returned him back to Bear Puppets.
Mel-san was surprised when she saw it.
Then I summoned Hugging Bear.
[It really is a summoned beast.] Mel
[White bear, Iâve never seen that before either.] Senia
The two now began to touch Hugging Bear.
[Kawaii (cute).] Mel
[Beautiful white.] Senia
[Donât touch him too much.] Yuna
But they are excessively touching Hugging Bear anyways.
Looking at the back, a merchant at a distance was surprised.
Well, itâs really amazing if a black bear turns into a white bear.
Can it be used as magic tricks?
[Yuna, hereâs the magic stones.] Jade
Jade-san came and gave me 4 sandworm magic stones.
He came here and made sure canât I refuse, so Iâll just gladly accept it.
[Nevertheless as the rumors said there was a white bear.] Jade
Weâre watching the two people touching the white bear.
[So, will Yuna move alone?] Jade
[Yeah, thatâs right.] Yuna
[Yuna-chan Letâs go together.] Mel
[With a bear.] Senia
[Thatâs right, itâs safer to travel together than alone.] Jade
[But is it necessary for Miss? Sheâs strong while dressed like this.] Toya
Toya said something unnecessary.
On the contrary, if an unmanageable monster comes out, a single person can escape.
[But going with your logic, if you think about it, itâs better to be with her.] Mel
[I think so, too.] Senia
Nadenade. (ctrl.+F5)
Refreshing.... (Long machine sound..)
Nadenade. (Another ctrl.+F5)
Refreshing.... (Short machine sound then, Beep..)
[You just want to be with the Bears.] Toya
Toya told them what I had in mind.
