Chapter 563

Bear-san, Throws A Bear Party

The birthday party ended successfully, Tirumina-san and Gentz-san went home, leaving Fina and Shuri behind.

To hold a bear party.

“I had a lot of fun today. Usually parties are always a formal occasion.” (Noa)

“I agree. I also think it’s better to have parties only with people you know.” (Misa)

Misa agreed with Noa’s words.

When it comes to an aristocratic party, there will be people you don’t know, people you haven’t seen in a few years, and people you didn’t have the intention to invite them over in the first place. On the other hand, even if you don’t want to go to the party, you have to, since attendance is mandatory.

I understand that feeling. I don’t want to attend a party of someone I don’t want to meet either.

(Read the first volume of the manga. Yuna’s grandfather is the president of a conglomerate. Did Yuna even attend when she was young? We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause readers due to the additional settings in the manga.)

Moreover, if you’re a noble, the topic of marriage would likely come up, and that topic seems to be a pain to deal with.

After the party, we took off our dresses and borrowed a bath.

The four washed Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s bodies, dried them with a hair dryer, and brushed them as thanks for letting them ride.

By the way, in the bath, I turned them into cubs because, otherwise, it would be difficult to wash and dry them.

After leaving the bath, all of us changed into bear themed clothes.

Naturally, I am dressed exactly like a bear. But then again I always dress up as a bear though.

By the way, I’m wearing my white bear suit. I’m exhausted from wearing dresses today, so I didn’t hesitate to choose a white bear suit.

After changing into bear clothes, we moved to the guest room.

It was a strange sight to see us dressed up as a group of bear-suit-wearing girls (seven of us), including Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, walking down the hallway.

Lara-san, however, gave us a warm look as we passed each other, saying, “You are all so cute”. I wanted to ask her if I was included, but I decided not to, as I would have suffered fatal emotional damage if I had.

(**editor’s note: I had to struggle between using psychological damage, but the meme emotional damage is current, so I hope the relevancy drives home to a point about Yuna’s view of herself… Well, you get it at this point)

We arrived at the guest room where we will be staying today. Five beds were in the room, and they were placed without gaps. They seem to have prepared this room for five (seven?) individuals to sleep together.

“So, what’s a bear party all about anyway?” (Fina)

Fina asked.

It seems that Fina was only told to bring bear clothes.

“It’s about dressing up as a bear and having a chat with everyone.” (Noa)

“Is that it?” (Fina)

“That’s it.” (Noa)

Fina was relieved by those words.

She thought she was going to do something weirder than that.

“We have tea on hand, so there’s plenty of time for chatting.” (Noa)

A pot of tea prepared by Lara-san was placed on the table. Noa herself served the tea.

“Let me help you.” (Fina)

“It’s all right. You are our guests today. Besides, even I can brew a cup of tea.” (Noa)

Noa says and makes tea in everyone’s cup.

We started the bear party with a cup of tea.

“Then again, I didn’t think Noa could make stuffed animals.” (Yuna)

“Fufu, I thought I’d surprise you.” (Noa)

“Yeah, it was surprising.” (Yuna)

“But compared to the stuffed toy I got from Yuna-san, it pales in comparison.” (Noa)

Noa compared her stuffed animals with the ones she made.

In the room, there were the plushies that Noa had and the ones that Noa gave to Fina.

“Well, it was made by a real professional. And they’ve made dozens of them, so it can’t be helped that it pales in comparison.” (Yuna)

Sherry, who was always good at sewing, made the bear stuffed dolls. She loves sewing and was taught by Naru-san every day. It was inevitable that there was a difference between this stuffed animal and the one made by Sherry.

It was extremely difficult to keep up with people who were doing the work they love.

“Yes, I did. But I got the hang of it. Now I’ll make one for myself. And someday I will be able to make it well.” (Noa)

Noa declared emphatically.

Maybe the next time I come to Noa’s room, it will be full of stuffed bears.

But I think Noa is amazing. She’s studying and will also be practicing magic. She even have the time to practice making a stuffed animal in between. I honestly think she’s incredible.

“Go for it, but do it in moderation.” (Yuna)

We talked about stuffed animals, then other things, then magic.

“I look forward to the magic practice, Yuna-san.” (Noa)

“I’m really self-taught, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to teach you well.” (Yuna)

“As father said, we’ll just get another teacher then.” (Noa)

Well, if I teach her and she can’t learn magic, then someone else takes over and she can use magic, I would be labeled incompetent as a teacher.

“I envy you, Noa-oneesama and Fina-chan.” (Misa)

“Yeah, that’s not fair.” (Shuri)

Misa and Shuri, who cannot be taught magic, were envious, but there was nothing I could do.

“Magic is for people with a lot of magic power, right?” (Yuna)

“Yes, we all have magic powers, big or small. But to use magic, one must have a lot of it.” (Noa)

Everyone has enough magic power to light up a magic stone.

But it means you need a lot of magic power to change mana into water or fire.

I remember the battle at the time of the Kraken. I made a bear big stone statue to keep the Kraken from escaping, and it took all my magic power at once. Then, a series of fire bear magic attacks. Both were created from magic power.

“But how do you know if you can use magic?” (Yuna)

“You’ll never know until you try.” (Noa)

“Do you have any magical tools that, when you touch crystals or something, tell you the capacity of your magic?” (Yuna)

Often in generic template settings, there would be magical tools that examine magical power and attributes, then a blinding light would glow when the amount of magical power was high, and the magical tool that measures magical power would then break. Or the light would shine in seven different colors.

But Noa’s response was.

“No. I’ve never heard of such a convenient magic tool. You won’t know if you can use magic until you try it.” (Noa)

“I see. Well, then, I guess we won’t know if it really works magic until you try it.” (Yuna)

“Yes. So I’m a little nervous.” (Noa)

“But if parents can use magic, so can their children, right?” (Yuna)

“Yes. If the parents can use magic, it’s common for their children to be able to do so, but that’s not always the case. Some children can’t use it, so you’ll never really know.” (Noa)

Noa looked worried.

“Eleanora-san can use it, right?” (Yuna)

“Yes, and so does my father. Basically, nobles are supposed to marry someone who has enough magical power to use magic for their protection. And to prevent their own children from dying because they cannot use magic to protect themselves.” (Noa)

Yeah, I guess that’s possible with the aristocrats. As the means of passing down a good or strong bloodline.

“Then Misa’s parents too?” (Yuna)

“Yes, they can use it as well.” (Misa)

Misa answered my questions. I asked the same question to Fina.

“Tirumina-san was able to use it, wasn’t she? What about…” (Yuna)

I was about to ask her about her father but stopped mid-sentence. Fina’s biological father was already dead. I knew I shouldn’t ask.

“Yes, Mom seems to be able to use magic.” (Fina)

“Did she use it before?” (Yuna)

“I’ve never seen her use it.” (Fina)

“And Shuri?” (Yuna)

“Un, never.” (Shuri)

Tirumina-san was sick and may not have had the opportunity to use her magic in front of Fina and Shuri.

“But Dad once told me that Mom used magic to defeat monsters.” (Fina)

Did Gentz-san tell her about that?

“That’s why I might be able to use it. But even if I can’t, it’s not your fault, Yuna-oneesan, so please don’t worry about it.” (Fina)

If possible, I would like them both to be able to use magic.

“I’m not familiar with it, but can parents who are good at certain magic pass down the traits to their children?” (Yuna)

In many mangas and s, the parents who were good at certain magic, and their children could inherit the same talent in utilizing the same magic.

“It’s been said that it doesn’t matter basically, but it seems that children often become good at the magic that their parents can use.” (Noa)

“Is that so?” (Yuna)

“It’s probably because children grow up watching their parents’ magic, so it’s easier for them to visualize the magic of that attribute.” (Noa)

Indeed, if you grow up watching your parents use their magic from a young age, it may be imprinted in your mind.

“Noa, you know quite a lot.” (Yuna)

“Or rather, Yuna-san, how come someone like you who can use magic, doesn’t know?” (Noa)

“That’s what I’ve been telling you, I don’t know that kind of thing because I learned magic by myself.” (Yuna)

After all, I could only use magic the way I had learned to do it in games. I don’t know those details.

“Ano, do I have to study those things too?” (Fina)

Fina looks uneasy.

“I’m sure you’ll be fine. I don’t know if I can do magic myself either.” (Noa)

“I don’t know anything about magic, but I can use it, so I think it’ll be fine.” (Yuna)

I believe that what was needed for magic would be magical power and strong imagery.

“Fina. Speaking of which, what medium do you use for your magic?” (Yuna)

Noa has a pendant from Eleanora-san. But Fina doesn’t have any.

“Mom said she would lend me the ones she used in the past, so it’s okay.” (Fina)

“I see. Then, when you learn to use magic, shall I buy one for you as a birthday present?” (Yuna)

Fina shakes her head at my words.

“Yuna-oneesan, you already gave me a ticket to be with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. So it’s okay.” (Fina)

Fina said so, but if she could use magic, I would give one to her as a gift.

Author’s Note:

I wanted to include some bear elements, but it turned out to be a talk about magic.

Next time we’ll have a little more of the bear elements…….

My apologies.

I have to recheck (revise) the book and might be a little late in posting. Thank you for understanding.

I will also take a break from replying to feedback for a while. I apologize for that.

As always, thank you to everyone who has always reported typos. I will not be able to reply, so I’ll leave this here.
