The next day, I was woken up by Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear alarm clocks. I donât oversleep because I have two alarm clocks. However, if I donât wake up, they will not stop waking me up and try even harder until I do so.
At first, itâs just a gentle tap. If I donât wake up, the petchipetchi will gradually become stronger. If I still donât wake up, the two of them will climb on my stomach. And in the end, they will cover my face. More importantly, I want them to stop it because it is really painful.
Today, I was able to get up when Swaying Bear dived onto my stomach.
[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, good morning.] Yuna
I got up while rubbing my sleepy eyes. Iâm going to go to the Adventurers Guild today and give them the scorpions.
Well, Iâm still sleepy. Itâs still dim outside. Itâs been a long time since I woke up this early. Some people who are early in the morning may get up and work. But itâs too early for me.
What about breakfast?
It feels too early for it. I consulted with my stomach. Well then, Iâll eat breakfast after I come back from the Adventurers Guild. I change from a white bear to a black bear and call on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear
[Well then, letâs go!] Yuna

When I left the Bear House, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in cub form followed me with tokotoko. (trotting sfx)
Sometimes when I get up early, I take a walk with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. If itâs this early morning, no one will be surprised because there are no people, so no one will come near us.
While Iâm on my way to the Adventurerâs Guild walking like so, I was greeted by an old woman whom I knew the face, yet I donât know the name. I also replied, . The old woman also greets Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear replied with .
There are many people around my house who knew about me, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, therefore, she was not surprised that Iâm walking in the neighborhood with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in their cub form.
I did a small yawn with and stretched my arms a little. It feels good in the morning, though I canât help feeling sleepy. I want to make Swaying Bear bigger and get on his back.
While thinking about it, the Adventurers Guild came into view. In front of the Adventurers Guild are Gentz-san and Fina.
[Good morning to both of you.] Yuna
[Good morning.] Fina
[You came without being late.] Gentz
[I have these bears to wake me up.] Yuna
I crouched down, then I pet the heads of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear next to me. Theyâre the most powerful alarm clocks.
[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, good morning.] Fina
Fina rubbed the heads of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear at the same time.
[Itâs not a good place to talk right here, letâs move inside. You donât want to be seen, right? Thatâs why youâre here this early in the morning.] Gentz
Yes, thatâs right. It would be a problem if someone saw me.
We went around the back of the guild and entered the dismantlerâs warehouse through the back door.
[Well then, please hand it over.] Gentz
As I promised yesterday, I took out 10 Scorpions from the Bear Box.
[How nostalgic.] Gentz
[Is that so?] Yuna
[Oh, Iâve been dismantling a lot of these when I was an adventurer, but not so much since I started working in the guild.] Gentz
[âNot so muchâ, so does this mean youâve received some before?] Yuna
[Occasionally, some adventurers bring it back here. So it may cause quite a bit of a fuss this time, but it shouldnât be as intense as what Jo-chan thinks.] Gentz
Well, even if they made a fuss, I wouldnât mind as long as they didnât know I was the one who brought them all.
[And so, we will take the shells.] Gentz
[Thatâs fine. I want the meat to be separated.] Yuna
I just want to taste it. Maybe itâs delicious like shrimps or crabs. It might be good to ask Anzu and Morin-san to see if they can cook it.
[Okay. Iâll bring it to your house when weâre done.] Gentz
[Although I can come back later.] Yuna
[Then it doesnât make sense that youâre hiding if youâre going picking it up anyways. Do you want to hide or to be known? Make up your mind!] Gentz
Ah, thatâs right. It would be suspicious if I came to pick it up.
[Then, can I ask you to deliver it?] Yuna
[Yeah, I donât mind.] Gentz
As a result of our talk, the Scorpionâs meat will be delivered to my home.
[Well then, Fina. Iâll tell you the basics while weâre waiting for the other staffs to come, so watch carefully.] Gentz
Gentz-san takes out the knife and approaches the scorpion.
[Yes, Dad.] Fina
Fina is now used to call Gentz-san her father. I miss the days when she used to call him Uncle Gentz.
[Well then, Iâll head back home.] Yuna
[By the way, if you kill another rare monster like a scorpion, bring it to me.] Gentz
In that case, I have a boss-type sandworm, a boss-type Scorpion, and some Wyverns. I would like to take it out of the Bear Box and look at Gentz-sanâs surprised face, but I donât want to cause chaos, so I restrained myself.
I parted with Gentz-san and Fina and went back to the Bear House because I have a lot of time until my next agenda for the day.
Today, Iâm going to the tailoring shop where Sherry works.
Yesterday, I met Sherry on the way home from the Adventurers Guild. She said that when she heard from the orphanage that I had returned, she was on her way to the Bear House to see me. And the reason why she wanted to see me was that the swimsuit was finished
Come to think of it, what happened to my swimsuit?
I donât remember choosing a swimsuit. If she hasnât finished it, then itâs fine. The secret size of my body was measured by Sherry. Sherry also said she would make it, so I donât think thereâs anything she didnât make.
If she made it from the illustrations Iâve drawn, I think itâll basically be fine. I just hope itâs not a school swimsuit.
Iâm going to Sherry today, in addition to checking my swimsuit.
But itâs too early to go to the store. Thereâs still time until the shop opens. So I decided to go back to the Bear House and sleep a second time. I couldnât help but yawn since a while back.
When I came back to the Bear House, I forgot to eat breakfast and simply fell onto the bed as a Black Bear. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear also curled up next to me when I get on the bed. As soon as I hugged Swaying Bear, I felt very sleepy.
[......chan.] ??
I feel something is shaking me.
[...... wake up.] ??
My body was shaking even more.
[Yuna-oneechan, wake up.] ??
[Swaying Bear?] Yuna
[Nope~. ] ??
[Hugging Bear?] Yuna
[Nope~. Itâs Shuri.] Shuri
Shuri?
When I opened my eyes, Shuri was riding on top of me. (TC: FBI OPEN UP!!)
[Finally.] Shuri
When I get up, Shuri comes down from me.
[Why are you here Shuri?] Yuna
[I went to the Adventurerâs Guild because I was done helping my mom with work. Then, my dad doesnât want to let me learn how to dismantle the , he said it was too early for me. So I came to ask Yuna-oneechan, but youâre sleeping.] Shuri
No, the Scorpion dismantling is still too early for Shuri. In the first place, itâs too early even for Fina. However, Fina has many years of dismantling experience. Shuri doesnât have it.
[I also think itâs too early for Shuri.] Yuna
[Even Yuna-oneechan is saying that too? I can do it!] Shuri
Shuri pouts her tiny mouth.
[I donât think you can. Even Fina will dismantle it for the first time. So itâs too early, Shuri will have to wait until youâre 10 years old.] Yuna
Even so, 10 years old is still too early. Iâm a 15-year-old adventurer, but I canât dismantle it. Considering that, Shuri is more amazing than me.
[I want to grow up quickly.] Shuri
[You donât have to hurry that much, itâs okay.] Yuna
I put my hand on Shuriâs head.
[By the way, what time is it now?] Yuna
[Itâs already past lunchtime.] Shuri
What was that you said, Shuri-san?
[I thought I heard you said itâs lunchtime. I might have heard you wrong.] Yuna
[Itâs after lunchtime.] Shuri
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
I didnât hear it wrong.
Apparently, I went to bed and slept until noon. I have an appointment with Sherry.
[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear why didnât you wake me up?] Yuna
I saw Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, playing on the bed. Certainly, I didnât ask them to wake me up, but it would be great if they did. I stared at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear with a slight grudge.
Donât they know how I feel?
Theyâre tilting their heads and crying, .
For the time being, I have to get ready to go out. I havenât decided when to meet Sherry. Sheâs supposed to be waiting for me.
[Shuri, thank you for waking me up.] Yuna
If Shuri didnât wake me up, Iâd still be in the dreamland.
[Un, because the door is open, so I thought Yuna-oneechan was here, but you were sleeping.] Shuri
If Iâm not here, the Bear Houseâs doors wonât open. If Iâm here, then Fina and Shuri could come in without permission. Others cannot enter unless I open the door.
So only Fina and Shuri can wake me up.
When I get out of the bed, I took the bread out from the Bear Box and stuffed it in my mouth. Then swallowed it without chewing it.
[Yuna-oneechan. Thatâs bad manners.] Shuri
I was scolded by Shuri.
[Iâm in a bit of a hurry, so itâs only today.] Yuna
I made excuses and prepared to go out. I thought I would return Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, but Shuri is holding them.
[Iâm going out. Shuri, are you staying here?] Yuna
Then, Iâll leave Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear as her playmates.
[Yuna-oneechan. Are you going somewhere?] Shuri
[I have an appointment with Sherry, so Iâm going to the tailoring shop. Do you want to come with me?] Yuna
[Is that okay?] Shuri
[Yeah, no problem. Iâm just going to check the swimsuits.] Yuna
[Well then, I will go with you.] Shuri
Shuri happily replied.
I returned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to the Bear Puppets and then I went to see Sherry together with Shuri.
Authorâs Note:
Happy New Year!
Thank you for supporting Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear again this year.
The shell of the scorpion was sold to the guild. I think that itâll be good if this shell got passed to Shin, the new adventurer. But if I were to write the story in a book, when would it be?
Next time, weâre finally checking out the swimsuit.
I was working on a book while taking a break from the web version.
