Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

Chapter 773

Bear-san went to each House

“Please let me know if you need anything else.” (Yuna)

I gave them some spare water and fire magic stones for the bath.

“Thank you. I’ve got enough here. But…” (Bollard)

Bollard-san and the others looked at each other.

I wondered if there was something they were having trouble speaking their mind.

Maybe they wanted me to defeat the ice dragon?

If I tried hard, I might be able to do something about it, but I couldn’t be sure until I saw the ice dragon with my own eyes.

It might be a dragon more powerful than I could imagine, and if it could fly in the sky, I wouldn’t be able to deal with it.

“You can use magic, right, young lady?” (Old Man)

One of the old men asked.

“Yeah, well. I’m something of a magician.” (Yuna)

My occupation description on the guild card was Bear, however.

“Um… can you help us meet our family?” (Old Man)

He said, looking a little hesitant.

“Bende tried to melt the ice for me before, but…” (Old Man)

“Even though I can use magic, I have less magic power than a normal magician.” (Bende)

“And he is getting older.” (Old Man)

The caretaker and mine workers looked at Bende, the only one who could use magic.

“I’m still young!” (Bende)

“That’s what he says, but I don’t want to push him too hard.” (Old Man)

“Uhh…” (Bende)

When the old man put it this way, Bende couldn’t complain.

From their conversation, I could see that they had been considerate of each other and helped each other.

So I agreed to the request.

“Okay.” (Yuna)

“Really?” (Bende)

“Thank you.” (Old Man)

Everyone looked happy to hear my words.

I think the old man had wanted to meet his family for a long time.

But I didn’t think he was able to speak his mind  because he didn’t want to burden Bende.

“Well then, let’s get going.” (Yuna)

“Wait, don’t rush the old man.” (Bende)

“It’s a long way to town. The people need some preparations.” (Bollard)

Ore was transported from mine to town, so there used to be a road that any carriages could use. But it was too far for a walk.

Just as they said, there were mostly elderly people here.

They said they used to have another horse before, but it was attacked by a monster six months ago, so now only one horse is left. That horse is used when Baran-san goes out to the sea to catch fish.

“Are there any monsters other than the ice dragon?” (Yuna)

“Sometimes, there are snowstorms around here. During that time, other monsters descend to here.” (Bollard)

“That’s when the horses were attacked.” (Bende)

“There had been no snowstorm for a long time, so we weren’t as vigilant as usual.” (Bollard)

“If only I’d kept the horses inside the mine properly.” (Bende)

“That is nobody’s fault. There hadn’t been a snowstorm for months. Everyone assumed it was safe during that time.” (Bollard)

“But it’s like we killed them.” (Bende)

He explained that they went to sleep in the mine tunnels that night, and they didn’t know that a snowstorm would occur with monsters coming along with the storm.

“Yuna-san, can you carry us all on Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan?” (Lize)

Lize-san asked apologetically.

There were four elderly people.

We could let them ride if the rest of us walked.

But Kagali-san ‘is’ a little girl, so it would be hard for her to walk.

Well, Kagali-san could fly, so if necessary, she could move faster than anyone else.

I thought about it for a bit and decided to use the Bear Bus.

They already once witnessed me making a bear bath house after all. The Bear Bus was smaller, so I doubt they would be surprised if I took it out.

So I took out the Bear Bus from my Bear Box.

“What’s this?” (Bollard)

“Bear?” (Bende)

“It’s a magic vehicle.” (Yuna)

“Vehicle?” (Bollard)

“Just think of it as a carriage.” (Yuna)

“It certainly has wheels.” (Bollard)

“Are these bears going to pull it?” (Old Man)

The old man looked at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“I’ll use my magic to turn the wheels.” (Yuna)

He was a bit surprised, but looked convinced after remembering how I made a bathroom with magic.

Just like in the Land of Wa, Kagali-san, who had experienced riding the Bear Bus, was the first to get on.

Everyone felt relieved after Kagali-san went on board.

“Everyone, get in too.” (Yuna)

“Yeah.” (Bollard)

I sat in the driver’s seat, Kagali-san sat next to me, and everyone else sat in their seats.

I asked Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to stay in the middle aisle.

I could have turned them into baby bears, but it would have been too much trouble to explain, so I left them as they were.

“Well, it might shake a little, so hang on tight.” (Yuna)

The Bear Bus started moving.

I heard their voices from behind exclaiming “Oh,” “It’s moving.”

The Bear Bus slowly moved down the road.

Lize-san and the others riding on the back were making a fuss.

“Can you do this with magic?” (Bollard)

“She said she is using magic to move the wheels. It should only be possible if one has a lot of magic.” (Bende)

“You even made a bath with magic. You’re really remarkable girls.” (Old Man)

Everyone seemed to be having fun riding the Bear Bus and going to town.

“Where are we going first?” (Yuna)

“Isn’t my house the closest?” (Old Man)

First, one of the old men. We decided to go to his family’s house.

I drove the Bear Bus as instructed by the old man, and arrived at a house.

“This is it.” (Old man)

We got off the Bear Bus and stood in front of the door.

“I’ll do it.” (Kagali)

When I was going to melt the ice on the door, Kagali-san offered.

Kagali-san melted the ice on the door.

The old man opened the door with the key he had and went inside the house. We waited outside.

After a while, we heard sobbing from inside the house.

“Let’s wait on the Bear Bus.” (Kagali)

“Okay.” (Yuna)

I followed Kagali-san’s words, knowing that he probably didn’t want anyone to hear his sobs.

After a while, the old man returned.

“Are you done?” (Kagali)

Kagali-san called out gently.

“Oh, I met my wife. There are other places to go. I can’t let myself take all the time. Let’s go next.” (Old Man)

“If you leave the door open, you should be able to visit anytime.” (Kagali)

The old man closed the door properly and returned to the bear bus.

“No, monsters roam around the town when there’s a snowstorm. If the door is open, they might enter the house. If something happened to my wife, I wouldn’t be able to face her.” (Old Man)

The next time he came to check, his frozen wife might end up broken into pieces.

If that happened, he would probably regret that single decision forever.

The old man looked at the house one more time and then said, “Let’s leave.”

I followed the old man’s words and headed to the next house, the house of Grandpa Bende, who could use magic.

After melting the ice on the door of Grandpa Bende’s house, we waited in the Bear Bus.

After waiting for a while, Grandpa Bende returned with red eyes.

Next we went to the house of the mine manager and his wife’s son.

He told me that he had another son besides Baran-san, the fisherman.

The ice on the door melted, and the couple along with Baran-san and his wife went inside.

“Yuna-san and Kagali-chan, please come along.” (Baran)

Baran stopped me and Kagali-san as we tried to return to the Bear Bus.

“Is that okay?” (Yuna)

“Yes, I would like you to meet my son.” (Baran)

When we entered the house, we saw people frozen.

Among them was a boy about 10 years old.

“This is my son. I left my son with my brother because I was going to see my parents that day.” (Baran)

I thought Baran didn’t have a child, but he was here.

The reason Baran-san decided to stay here might not only be because his parents were here, but also because his child was ‘sleeping’ here.

Kagali-san and I prayed for their frozen family, and left the house and returned to the Bear Bus to leave them alone.

“Thank you girls.” (Baran)

“If I had more magic, I could have brought you here many times.” (Bende)

Bende murmured when we returned to the Bear Bus, to which one of the old men responded.

“Bende, what are you talking about? We all know that you worked hard to melt the ice last time. We are so grateful.” (Old Man)

“Yes. You used your magic until you were in so much pain.” (Lize)

Lize-san agreed with what one of the old men said.

I didn’t know what it felt like, but I’d heard that it would certainly be hard for people with little magic to normally use magic.

“We are grateful to you, Bende-san.” (Bollard)

“It helps to hear you say that.” (Bende)

Grandpa Bende looked a little happy when Bollard-san said that to him.

I think he did his best because he was the only survivor who could use magic.

And while we were talking, Baran-san and the others returned with swollen eyes.

He thanked me and Kagali-san and sat down.

It seemed like they had a good talk. I was glad they were able to meet.

Finally, we headed to Lize-san and Bollard-san’s house.

“So this was your house after all.” (Yuna)

In front of us was the large mansion we broke into yesterday.

“Do you know my house?” (Lize)

“Well, we didn’t break in to steal anything. Kagali-san said that if we want to get information, a big house is the best place to check.” (Yuna)

“Don’t put the blame on me.” (Kagali)

“Fufu, I don’t doubt you.” (Lize)

Lize-san laughed, perhaps finding my and Kagali-san’s panicked expressions amusing.

“But the gates are closed. What should we do?” (Lize)

Unlike a normal house, they had to go through a high gate to get to the mansion.

“If we destroy the gate, monsters might swarm in at another time.” (Lize)

“What did you do last time?” (Yuna)

“We used a ladder, but we forgot to bring it this time.” (Lize)

Lize-san said apologetically.

“Then, shall I pick up Lize-san and the others and jump over the gate?” (Yuna)

Bollard-san said, “If possible, please use an alternative method.”

It appeared that he was reluctant to be held by me.

So I decided to just make stairs with magic.

I got out of the Bear Bus and made a hilly staircase with earth magic.

I put up a handrail and took all the safety measures.

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, please take care of everyone.” (Yuna)

“Kuuuuuun”

We left the remaining six people in the Bear Bus to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, and used the magically created stairs to climb across the mansion gate.
