Hmmm, what’s this?
Somehow it feels hard to sleep .
I feel like my body is being held down .
When I slowly open my eyes, Ran is cuddling and sleeping with me .
[Mofumofu …] Ran
No, it ’s not Mofumofu .
But why is Ran sleeping in my bed?
Swaying Bear is sleeping comfortably while being sandwiched between us .
I looked at the other side .
I thought for a moment (even Rossan is there), but only Hugging Bear is hugging me and still sleeping soundly .
I asked them to wake me up if there was danger .
Apparently, for Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, they recognized that it wouldn’t be dangerous if Ran enters my bed .
Well, if she’s just sleeping, then there is no danger .
It just makes me sleepy .
But there are women in this world who also like girls .
If Ran was a member of that group, it would be dangerous .
But Blitz is there, so that’s probably not the case for Ran .
However, if that’s the case, please protect it properly .
I pet the heads of the sleeping Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
For now, let’s escape from Ran’s grasp .
I release the hand held by Ran and escape from the bed .
And safely move Hugging Bear to the next bed where Ran originally slept .
Next, I tried to rescue Swaying Bear from Ran, but she doesn’t want to release it .
I was thinking about what to do, but a bright idea hits me .
All I have to do is unsummon Swaying Bear, then quickly summon it again .
I returned Swaying Bear to the Bear Puppet and summoned it immediately .
I was able to safely rescue Swaying Bear from Ran .
Yeah, that was excellent .
The moment I tried to sleep in the bed where Ran was sleeping, Ran began to sleep talk .
[Uuh ~~~, Mofumofu~ga…] Ran
Ran said in a sad voice and searching for something, somehow she’s kinda lonely .
[Uh ~, Swaying Bear~…] Ran
I see, it seems that she was searching for Swaying Bear and not me .
She’s searching so hard with her hands .
But that doesn’t mean I’ll give Swaying Bear back .
Somehow, I thought of a good substitute .
I took the bear plushie from the Bear Box and place it where Ran can reach .
Then the hand that seemed to be lonely, suddenly grabbed the plushie .
After Saying, [It’s mofumofu] she got quiet .
Yeah, it looks okay .
Now everyone is happy .
I will sleep again .
Early in the morning, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear woke me up .
Mou… It’s morning already…
I thought I went to sleep just a few minutes ago .
The outside is still dim, but the sun is rising .
I’m leaving early, so I’m going up early .
I raise my upper body and look at the next bed .
Ran is sleeping soundly, hugging a bear plushie .
Ran looks very comfortable .
It seems that she was sleeping alone without realizing it .
On the other side, Rossan and Grimos are sleeping on the bed near the door .
For the time being, let’s put Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear back to the Bear Puppet, so that we don’t wake them up .
[Yunchan, you’re up already?] Rosa
Rossan gets up from the next bed .
Apparently, she seems to have woken up by it .

[Good morning . ] Yuna
[Good morning… But why is Yunchan sleeping next to my bed?] Rosa
I look at the bed where Ran is currently sleeping .
Originally it was the bed that I was sleeping on .
[Mofumofu~~…] Ran
Ran is happily sleeping with a bear plushie .
[Ran… . ] Rosa
Rossan had an amazed face in the sight of sleeping Ran .
I briefly explained what happened last night .
[I’m sorry, Yunchan . That girl was so happy to meet Yunchan and Swaying Bear-chan after a long time . We were traveling to various places . So that’s why, she’s glad to meet an acquaintance . Moreover, we never thought we could meet you at a place like this, far away from Crimonia . ] Rosa
Certainly, this is very far from Crimonia .
It’s easy for me to come because I have the Bears and the Bear Gate, but it’s hard for someone else even if they’re riding on a horse .
I’m sure they’re happy because we met in such a distant place .
For some reason, I am happy to meet Rossan as well .
[So, would you please forgive Ran . ] Rosa
[I don’t mind, I’m not angry . But I will be angry, if you wake me up in the middle of the night for no reason at all . ] Yuna
And I won’t give them a plushie .
[Fufu, . . Thank you . Let’s wake everyone up and go for a meal . ] Rosa
Rossan woke up Grimos and I woke up Ran .
[Swaying Bear… Good morning…?] Ran
Ran froze while looking at the bear plushie .
[What is this?] Ran
[A bear plushie . ] Yuna
[A bear plushie?] Ran
Ran touched the plushie again .
[Its true, it’s a bear plushie . Why am I holding a bear plushie? I should have been holding Swaying Bear . ] Ran
[It’s Swaying Bear’s substitute . ] Yuna
[Where did you got this from?] Ran
Ran started to
[Yunchan, you have that as well?] Rosa
[It’s very popular with children . ] Yuna
[So, where is the real Swaying Bear?] Ran
While embracing the plushie, Ran searched for Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
[I have already returned them to my Bear Puppets . ] Yuna
[ThThat’s …] Ran
Ran fell down on the floor .
[And don’t climb into my bed without permission . ] Yuna
[No no, that’s because Swaying Bear called me . ] Ran
Such a lie that can be exposed immediately .
I summoned Swaying Bear in bear cub form .
[Did you call Ran last night?] Yuna
Swaying Bear cried and shook his head .
[He’s denying it . ] Yuna
[Uh, Swaying Bear . ] Ran
[As I thought when I first met Swaying Bear-chan, he seems to be able to understand people’s words . ] Rosa
Rossan, who was listening to the conversation, had a strange look .
[Well, it’s not a normal bear . ] Yuna

It’s a Bear from God .
It’s a special Bear .
It might even be a Divine Beast?
I looked at Swaying Bear’s face .
It’s a cute face .
No, he can’t be, Divine Beasts cannot be this cute .
[And now, please return the bear plushie . ] Yuna
[Eh ~~~~~, didn’t you already gave it to me?] Ran
[I didn’t gave it to you . ] Yuna
First of all, it’s a stuffed toy for kids .
I didn’t asked for it to be made for Ran .
[But you already gave it to me!] Ran
Ran won’t release the bear plushie .
Well, I have a lot, so I can give it to her .
[Fine then, I’ll give it to you, so please take care of it . ] Yuna
[Yuna, thank you very much . ] Ran
She happily hugged the bear plushie .
[Ran, good for you . ] Rosa
Rossan is enviously looking at Ran .
[Do you want one as well Rossan?] Yuna
[Is that okay?] Rosa
She seems happy with my words .
I took out a Hugging Bear plushie and give it to Rossan .
[It’s Hugging Bear-chan!] Rosa
[What about Grimos?] Yuna
I asked her, just in case .
[No, I’m good . ] Grimos
Hmm, I guess not~ .
Now that the issue about bear plushies are over, we move down to the first floor and have breakfast .
Blitz is not around .
Is he still sleeping?
None of the girls would wake him up, is that okay?
[Speaking of which, I forgot to ask, what kind of monster appears in the desert?] Yuna
Prior information is very important in games .
It is necessary to prepare proper equipments in advance .
That being said, I only have the Bear Equipment .
But there is no loss with knowing what kind monsters there are .
[Haven’t I told you? Well, I don’t think you’ll ever meet one, but there are Sand Wolves and a Sand Worms . Although, I think it’ll be mostly Sand Wolves . ] Ran
Sand Wolf is a variant of Wolf . I wonder, do they have different fur?
Sand worms are variant of Worms .
But are there many worms that have been defeated before?
I feel disgusted just by imagining it .
Sorry Wolf .
Worms are disgusting, so if I find one, I will kill them immediately .
But is it better to bring it back as a souvenir of Fina?
[Still, it is better to be aware of the worms as well . ] Grimos
Grimos, who was silent, opened her mouth .
[That’s right, because worms are buried deep into the ground, it becomes fatal if you were too late to notice them . Well, according to the story, if the worm moves in the sand, you would seem to notice it by the vibration, so it will be okay if you’re careful . ] Ran

Well, I have my skills, I also have the Bears, so… It will be okay right?
[And there are rumors of sightings, but I’m not sure . ] Rosa
[What are the rumors?] Yuna
[I’m sorry, I haven’t heard much about it . Well, it’s okay because you won’t see them if you head to the pillar . ] Rosa
Rossan, did you know? That is a flag in our world?
Oh but, flags can also be broken .
[Well, Yuna will be fine, even if she found one . ] Ran
[Yeah, she even defeated that monster after all . ] Rosa
They’re talking about the Kraken, but they didn’t disclose it .
They know that there is a hush decree in the town of Mereera, so they kept quiet about it .
[But stay vigilant . ] Grimos
Grimos is paying attention to their optimistic conversation .
That’s true .
No matter how much powerful the Bear Equipment is, I may be beaten if I’m too careless .
[Thank you Grimos, I’ll be careful . ] Yuna
After finishing the meal and acquiring the monsters’ information, I decided that its time for me to go .
[Well then, say hello to Blitz for me . ] Yuna
After all, Blitz didn’t show himself .
No way, its just as yesterday’s adventurer said, he actually brought in a woman… .
[What? You’re leaving already?] Blitz
A sleepy Blitz came and sat in an empty chair .
[Ugh, my head . If I knew it would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have drunk . ] Blitz
[Did you drink till late last night?] Yuna
[Oh, Doran told me that he wants to drink and dragged me out . ] Blitz
I see, what I was thinking didn’t happen .
[Yuna, I think you’ll be fine, but just be careful . ] Blitz
[Yes, thank you . If a dangerous monster appears, I’ll run away with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear . ] Yuna
If I’m really a pinch, I also have a method of escape using the Bear Gate .
[Don’t get Swaying Bear hurt . ] Ran
Ran was also worried about Swaying Bear .
Hey worry about me more!
[We’re going to Crimonia, to check if you’re still alive or have gone missing . ] Blitz
[Fufu, what Blitz’ trying to say is, let’s meet again in Crimonia next time . ] Rosa
[I wish he could be more honest . ] Ran
[Shut it . ] Blitz
Blitz pulls Ran’s cheeks who is sitting next to him .
[It, it hurts . ] Ran
Laughter came from the crowd .
Now that I’ve greeted Blitz, I’m leaving once again .
I separated from Rossan’s group, then I walk towards the town’s gate .
Although it may still be early in the morning, but there are already many people on lizards roaming around .
Are they going to leave now?
Rossan says that [temperature may vary], so some people try to leave before the sun rises .
In my case, it’s okay because I have my Bear Equipment, but it seems to be hard to move around during the day .
When I arrive at the town’s gate, a man guarding the gate is standing there, sleepy .
And when the man noticed me, he woke up, his eyes are wide open and he looked at me .
Normally, I’ll just put my guild card on the crystal plate and head out, but the man stopped me .
[Young lady, what’s with that outfit?] Guard
[I’m dressed like a bear . ] Yuna
He’s eyes became wide open again .
Well, there’s no other way to answer it .
[So, why are you dressed as a bear?] Guard
He seems to be squinting, but I tried to go on without worrying about it .
[Little Miss . Why are you in a hurry? It’s dangerous outside . ] Guard
Well, if a girl dressed as a bear tried to go outside without any ride, she wiill be stopped .
The gate I’m exiting is on the opposite direction of the gate that I came in from the direction of the royal capital .
There seems to be only a vast desert beyond this point, there are no villages ahead .
[Are you planing to travel on foot?] Guard
I’ll try to deceive him .
[On foot? Alone? In such an outfit?] Guard
Of course, he’ll doubt it .
I’d like to run away .
But since I’m not a criminal, It’ll be troublesome if a search party is made .
I just don’t know what to do .
While in trouble, I heard a familiar voice .
[Ah, I knew it, its good that I caught up to you . ] Rosa
[Just as I thought . ] Ran
[…………] Yuna
When I found the source of the voice, Rossan and Ran whom should I have left a while ago, were here .
They are looking at me with a bright smile on their faces .
[Rossan?] Yuna
[Remember when Yuna arrived at this town, you were stopped at the entrance, so she came to see what was going on . ] Ran
Yes, I was stopped wonderfully .
[This girl, is an adventurer so It’s okay to let her through . ] Rosa
Rossan explains to the guard .
[Adventurer?] Guard
He looks at me with a dubious expression .
[Yes, so please let her pass . ] Rosa
[Do you want to confirm?] Yuna
I showed my guild card to the guard .
[Rank C?] Guard
He compared the card with me over and over again .
But after confirming for quite some time, I got my card back .
[But there is only a vast desert ahead, without a Ragaroot…] Guard
Uhhh… Do I really have to summon Swaying Bear?
I summoned Swaying Bear .
[A Bear!] Guard
I briefly explained about the summoned beast and then he finally let me through .
But now, even if I come back here alone, I can enter the town without anyone being suspicious .
And with that, I was able to leave the town safely, riding on Swaying Bear .
I left for the city of Dezerto .
Author’s Note:
I’ve been thinking about replacing the material before, but I didn’t have the opportunity to use it .
It feels bad to switch bear plushies with Fina or Noa while sleeping .
But Ran is fine .
At last we are able to leave the town .
