Bear-san, Takes A Break.

After returning from the Land of Harmony, I had a good night’s sleep for the first time in a long time. It seemed that the same was true for Kagali-san, who slept even more than I did.

Perhaps, like Sakura, she had not been sleeping much since she learned that the Orochi’s resurrection was near. And she was alone, guarding a place where the Orochi could revive at any moment. Perhaps she was more nervous and tired than I thought she would be.

I got up from the futon when the sun was just above the horizon. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were sleeping comfortably on the bed. As I was getting up, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear tried to do the same.

“You can go back to sleep if you’re still sleepy.” (Yuna)

When I called out to them, Swaying Bear and Hugging got up. Apparently, they want to follow me.

Then I checked on Kagali-san, who was sleeping in the next room, and she was still asleep. I felt sorry to wake her up, so I ate a late breakfast/early lunch by myself. I gave Swaying Bear and Hugging bread with lots of honey on it.

Having finished eating, I retrieved the bear gate in the elven forest. I thought about calling Ruimin, but she might be exhausted from using excessive magic, too. I’ll come back next time.

“Ugh, I’m starving.” (Kagali)

When I returned after retrieving the bear gate, Kagali-san, dressed in an oversized kimono, came into the room, dragging the hem. Do I need to get some clothes for her later?

Do I have to go out and buy some? Or should I contact Sakura and ask her to prepare clothes for her in the Land of Harmony?

I had asked Jeremo in the town of Mereera before to buy some kimono from the Land of Harmony before, but they didn’t have any Kagali-san’s current size.

Kagali-san sat in a chair, not seeming to mind her oversized clothes.

“Are you fine with bread, or you want rice?” (Yuna)

“Inari.?(お稲荷)” (Kagali)

“I don’t have it.” (Yuna)

“You’re not well prepared.” (Kagali)

“Do you want to leave? I’ll open the door.” (Yuna)

“I’m sorry. I’m just kidding. I’d like to eat rice if possible.” (Kagali)

I took out the rice, miso soup, grilled fish, and pickles from the bear box.

“Oh, that’s quick.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san ate the breakfast (lunch) laid out on the table.

“The rice is delicious, and so is the miso soup.” (Kagali)

“I’m glad you liked it.” (Yuna)

I’m not copying Kagali-san, or anything. But, maybe next time I can make Inari and give it to Fina and the others.

“Kagali-san.” (Yuna)

“What?” (Kagali)

“When will you return to your original form?” (Yuna)

“I don’t know. Maybe today, tomorrow, a year, or a hundred years?” (Kagali)

“Is that so?” (Yuna)

“I used up all my strength. It placed a great toll on my body. So I don’t know when I’ll be able to return to my normal form.” (Kagali)

It seems that the burden on her body was greater than I thought.

“But why are you asking that? Could it be you’re trying to get rid of me?” (Kagali)

“Well, there’s also that. But the clothes you’re wearing right now are too big. Isn’t it difficult to move?” (Yuna)

“It’s certainly hard to move, but if I’m riding on top of Swaying Bear, there’s no problem.” (Kagali)

`Ku~u ~ n’

Swaying Bear cub, who’s sleeping on the couch, made a cry of denial.

“What’s that, Swaying Bear’s cub? It’s small and cute. Though not as cute as the fox.” (Kagali)

`Ku~u ~ n’

Again, Swaying Bear voiced his denial.

“That’s not Swaying Bear’s cub. That’s Swaying Bear himself.” (Yuna)

“What are you talking about? Isn’t Swaying Bear a big bear?” (Kagali)

“He can get smaller, just like Kagali-san.” (Yuna)

What do you mean? You’re saying this little bear is that big bear?” (Kagali)

“My bears are special.” (Yuna)

“But if they can turn big, there’s no problem. When I need to move, I’ll just have to ride on the back of Swaying Bear.” (Kagali)

“In Kagali-san’s country, are bears allowed to walk through the streets?” (Yuna)

In Crimonia, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were gradually becoming known, so it’s okay. But in other cities, it’ll be impossible because they’ll freak out if they see a big bear approaching.

“No, it’s not.” (Kagali)

“Then I reject the idea of riding on Swaying Bear around town. I’m going to ask Sakura for some clothes, or do you prefer to wear something from here?” (Yuna)

“Are you telling me, a fox, to wear bear clothes?” (Kagali)

Does she perhaps think the bear costume I’m wearing was typical here?

She even saw Fina’s clothes.

“You saw a girl named Fina yesterday, right? It’ll be like that. My outfit is special… and only a few dressed up as bears.” (Yuna)

“There are people who dress like you!?” (Kagali)

It’s not a lie, because the kids in the shop are wearing them.

“Then why don’t you dress up as a fox?” (Kagali)

“Ku~u ~ n”

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear voiced their disagreement.

“What, the fox is cuter, isn’t it?” (Kagali)

`Ku~u ~ n’

“It’s the fox!” (Kagali)

`Ku~u ~ n’

“It’s the fox!” (Kagali)

They’re not really going anywhere with their conversation, aren’t they?

=====

And so, I decided to ask Sakura for some clothes for Kagali-san. After all, she wants to wear clothes she’s comfortable in.

‘I understand. I’ll have them prepare it and have Shinobu bring it to you.’

“Please, I’m counting on you.”

‘As expected, Kagali-sama went to Yuna-sama. I was contacted by Shinobu and heard that Kagali-sama’s house was broken. She said that Kagali-sama was nowhere to be found and there was only Yuna-sama’s house instead. She called out to Yuna-sama’s bear’s house. But nobody came out, so she said Kagali-sama might have gone with Yuna-sama.’

“It looks like Kagali-san was very tired too. She’s been sleeping until now.”

‘I see. Please take care of Kagali-sama.’

Well, I’m fine with it until she recovers.

She’s mostly just sleeping anyway.

“So, how’s it going over there?”

‘Yesterday, I heard from Shinobu that the women were recognized. I haven’t heard about the rest, so I don’t know. Actually, I was sleeping until a while ago.’

I could hear an apologetic voice from Bearphone.

‘But it was thanks to Yuna-sama that I was able to sleep so comfortably. Thank you very much.’

“Sakura, can I say one thing?”

‘Yes, what is it?’

“You’re not allowed to say thank you anymore. I’ve heard it a thousand times.”

‘I’m sorry. I can only say thank you.’

“I don’t mean that way. What I’m saying is that I understand Sakura’s feelings well, and that everything will be fine.”

‘Yuna-sama…’

“So there is no need to thank me for what I have done for you regarding the Orochi. I’ve already received enough. Besides, if you say thank you too many times, the value of your thanks will diminish.”

‘…Is my value of gratitude going down?’

“That’s right. If you always say thank you, people will think you’re one who gives shallow gratitude.”

‘I didn’t mean to……’

“Yeah, I know that you don’t mean it that way. But if you keep thanking me for the same thing repeatedly, you will get into the habit of thanking me every time you see me.”

If this keeps up, I will be thanked every time we meet.

‘Wha, I, I understand. I won’t thank you anymore for the Orochi. But it’s okay if it’s about something else, right?’

“Well, if it was something different, then yeah.”

It can’t be helped if she’s thanking me for something new. On the other hand, I don’t want people taking for granted something I did for them and not giving an ounce of gratitude for it.

After that, we talked about other things.

“Then, I’m counting on you for Kagali-san’s clothes.”

‘Yes, I understand.’

After finishing the conversation, I put away my bearphone.

=====

Well, what should I do for today? I can’t go to the Land of Harmony yet, so I think I’ll take it easy today, too.

After finishing her meal, Kagali-san returned to her room, dragging the hem of her clothes along with her.

Thanks to the white bear costume, I got rid of my tiredness, but I feel that my mind is still tired.

I will follow Kagali-san’s example and rest with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

The next day, I received a call from Sakura. She said that Shinobu had left Kagali-san’s clothes in front of the bear house on the island.

I thanked her and went to the bear house in the Land of Harmony.

When I opened the door, I saw something wrapped in a?furoshiki?(wrapping cloth) placed in front of me.

Apparently, these were Kagali-san’s clothes.

I pick up the?furoshiki?(風呂敷)?and return to Crimonia.

After relaxing for a while, Kagali-san came down.

“I’m starving.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san came over and slumped down on the table.

“I’ll go and prepare it now. But first, I got some clothes from Sakura, so get dressed.” (Yuna)

“I’m fine as is.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san lifted the hem of her oversized clothes.

“Something might happen to you, change your clothes.” (Yuna)

“I don’t know what you mean.” (Kagali)

Apparently, my feelings were not conveyed properly.

Perhaps only me in my former world would understand.

“Get changed for now. If you don’t, I won’t prepare any more meals.” (Yuna)

“Okay! I get it! I’ll change my clothes. You’re a ridiculous girl, you know that? To threaten someone with food. You have a terrible person as a master.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san said to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear sitting on the sofa.

“I would never do that to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.”

I have a soft spot for Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. I may forgive them no matter what they do. In the first place, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear wouldn’t do anything wrong. They would follow my instructions. Even if it’s something they don’t want to do. I will tease them later.

Kagali-san put on the kimono that Sakura had prepared for her. It seemed to be the right size and it wasn’t out of place.

“It’s a little tight.” (Kagali)

“Did you get fat?” (Yuna)

“How could I be fat?!” (Kagali)

I think it was simply due to the fact that she was always dressed loosely and scandalously, but now she was adequately dressed.

“Is that your nightwear?” (Yuna)

“Well, it seems that they prepared various things.” (Kagali)

She’s wearing a yukata like those found in Japanese inns. The color was white.

“I’m going to bed.” (Kagali)

After finishing her meal, Kagali-san said so and returned to her room. The only time Kagali-san stayed awake was to eat. Like an animal, she’ll wake up, eat, sleep, and repeat. This may be the fastest way for her to recover.

Author’s Note:

Yuna returned to Crimonia and spent some time relaxing.

Maybe we’re going back to the Land of Harmony next time?

?The next post may be late. Also, I may not be able to reply to your feedback. Thank you for understanding.
