After switching the magic stones, we returned to the city . However, after entering the town, while we were walking towards Balimsan’s residence, the atmosphere of the town seems to be different .
First, the people who pass each other are quite a few . I’m not proud of it, but whenever I walked down the street, I attracted the people’s line of sights .
But it suddenly decreased .
[What’s going on?] Yuna
[I don’t know . ] Karina
We hurried back to the mansion so we went near the lake . There was a crowd around the lake . Everyone was looking at the lake .
[What the hell is that?] Resident A
[Did you notice that the water has increased somehow?] Resident B
[But it was lesser than this just a while ago and it increased all of a sudden? I don’t think anyone was expecting that . ] Resident C
Well, that’s true, if you think about it normally .
Other than that, I can’t think of any reason as to why people are gathering at the lake . But even if Karina says there’s more water now, I didn’t expect that the lake’s water would’ve increased enough to be noticed it so easily .
It should’ve taken a few days for someone to notice it . Even if I saw it, I’m not sure what to say .
[Bear? Karinsama?] Resident D
One of the residents noticed Karina .
To be precise, he noticed Karina because he became aware of my existence . Other residents who heard Karina’s name turned their eyes to us .
[Karinsama, what happened to the water in the lake?] Resident E
[Balimsama told us to wait for a while, but how did this happen? Has the lake returned to its original state?] Resident F
[Karinsama!] Resident G
The residents approached us . I took one step forward to protect Karina .
[I can’t answer it right now . But what happened? I’ve been out of town until now, so I don’t know why everyone is at the lake . ] Karina
[The water level, the water column came up . ] Resident A
The residents excitedly replied .
A water column is that a water pillar? Like water spouts?
[Everyone gathered at the lake because they thought the water of the lake might have returned . Some of them went to ask Balimsama, but they told us to wait for a while . ] Resident H
Uh, the water pillars?
If you think about it, it’s related to the switching of the magic stones, right?
I can’t come up with anything else . When I looked at Karina, she’s thinking a little bit .
[I understand, I think you’ll be able to hear from my father soon . Until then, please be patient and wait for a while . ] Karina
Karina bowed her head to the residents and began to walk quickly . I also chased her after that .
[Karina, what’s going on?] Yuna
[I’ll report the details to my father first before we can talk about it . Father is waiting for our report . If we’re late, the residents may rush out of their homes . ] Karina
Karina said so and ran .
When we reached the mansion, there was a crowd .
[There’s already a lot of people here . ] Karina
[Yes, we can’t go in with this . ] Yuna
I think the reason for their gathering was the same as earlier . It’s like they’re waiting to hear Balimsan’s announcement . Unlike the residents around the lake, it feels like they are angry mobs . It’s dangerous if we get too close, so we can only watch them from a distance .
[They’re all quiet though . ] Yuna
The residents were not violent and only looking at the mansion .
However, it will be difficult to sneak in, this is troublesome . For the time being, I told Karina to wear the coat hood that protects her against the heat .
[Yunsan, what should we do?] Karina
I think we can go and get through them normally, but we might get surrounded . There are people surrounding the mansion even if we try to enter from the back .
[This can’t be helped . ] Yuna
[Yunsan?] Karina
I hold Karina in my arms .
[Yunsan, what are you doing?] Karina
[Karina, hold on tightly . ] Yuna
I started running while Karina was being
[Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah . ] Karina
Karina screams .
The residents turned their sights to the source of the voice .
[What was that?] Mob A
[It’s a bird?] Mob B
[No, it’s a bear!] Mob C
[It’s a bear?] Mob D
[It’s a flying bear!] Mob E
While the residents were shouting, I jumped over the residents and over the wall, then land on the other side of the wall .
The landing was beautifully executed and the image that a lot of 10 . 0’s were lined up floating on the judge’s heads . If I have the Bear Equipment, it’s not a dream to win multiple gold medals at the Olympics . Well, it’s a foul, no matter how you look at it .
On the other side of the wall, [The bear flew!], [Bears doesn’t fly you know . ], [It was absolutely a bear . ], and [Bears can’t fly!] can be heard .
The faction that saw me and the faction that didn’t saw me were having a big argument . Also, some people may not understand depending on the angle .
In the first place, I am impressed that they have found out that I am a bear in that short moment .
I put Karina down .
[Yunsan, next time please tell me if you’re going to fly before you actually fly . It was very scary . ] Karina
Karina was standing on the ground and her feet were shaking .
[Did you leak?] Yuna
[I did not leak!] Karina
Karina is hitting me with
I apologized to Karina, then we entered the mansion .
When we enter the mansion, Rassan is waiting for us, she then immediately guide us to Balimsan’s office .
[Karina… . ] Balima
[Karina, welcome home . ] Ristil
Balimsan along with Ristil-san and their son Norris was there .
[Father, Mother, I’m back . But, I would like to ask you something . I heard that the water column has risen, is that true?] Karina
[Oh, but first, I want you to tell me your report before I explain it to you . ] Balima
[I… I understand . ] Karina
Karina successfully replaced the water magic stone . The water sprang up properly and it made the people talked about having the water returned to the way it used to be .
[I see, Karina . You’ve had a lot of trouble this time . ] Balima
[No, it’s because I originally dropped the crystal plate map . ] Karina
[Yunsan as well, thank you very much . If it hadn’t for Yunsan coming here and bringing the Kraken magic stone to us, this city would still be in trouble . ] Balima
Balimsan deeply lowered his head .
[So, Father . What about the water column?] Karina
I don’t know what it is, but it seems like Karina knew about it .
[I believe Karina knows that there’s a festival once a year . ] Balima
[Yes, The lake spouts like a fountain and it rains all over the city . ] Karina
[That’s right! That didn’t happen for a while though because the city was in a turmoil . ] Balima
[But the festival is…] Karina
[There’s a reason for that to happen . ] Balima
Balimsan said that this town has an annual festival . At that time, it seems that water always blows up like a geyser, then it rains around the lake and throughout the city .
In the past, the purpose was to clean the silver cup with gratitude .
To clean the cup, they have to stop the magic circuit for a short time . Then, once again, when the magic circuit was activated, water spouts like a geyser .
It later became a festival of the city and at the same time, it was to show off the power of the (Ishrit Family) as the lord .
Well this time, the magic circuit had to be stopped to switch the magic stones and the water was ejected by restarting the magic circuit . The residents who saw it gathered at the lake and the others gathered at Balimsan’s house to hear the reason .
[And now that Karina has returned, we’ll make an announcement about this at the square . I’m relieved to be able announce that the lake is back . ] Balima
Maybe there were various complaints and discontents .
Maybe, I don’t know . It’s scary to imagine .
[Father… . ] Karina
Balimsan stands up to explain this incident to the residents . At the same time, the Mother, Ristil-san, also stood up .
[I will go as well . ] Ristil
Ristil-san is pregnant .
[But I’m hungry…] Ristil
[It’s alright . You might get injured there . I’m going to make a good announcement this time, so there’s no danger . ] Balima
[If so, I will go as well . ] Karina
[Me too……] Norris
[Karina and Norris… I see . Let’s go together . ] Balima
I thought of something and decided to keep an eye on it .
Then in the city square Balimsan announced that the lake had been restored . The city comes to life . Stalls lined up in front of the lake and it was a festive event everywhere .
It’s a secret to everyone but I am hiding, if I’d get caught by the kids then it’ll be a big problem for me .
[Yunsan, let’s go and look around . ] Karina
[Karina, you’re hyped . Today of all days . ] Yuna
(TN: I don’t know if got it right 「カリーナは元気だね。今日の今日だよ」 . )
[I’m not tired because I was riding on Swaying Bear-chan . ] Karina
We’ve been riding on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so we’re not tired .
I was tired from all other sorts of things though .
[And I’m excited that the water is back . ] Karina
Karina grabbed me by my Bear Puppet and dragged me around .
[Come on, Yunsan, let’s go!] Karina
I headed to where the commotion was, with Karina .
That night, I was mentally tired, I prepared to sleep . My body isn’t really tired, but Karina took me there .
I was wearing a Bear Costume, I met Jade-san there and I was mentally tired from everything .
I changed into a white bear and summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in cub form . As usual, it feels good . It feels like my fatigue is melting away just by holding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
I got my energy back by hugging Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so I entered the futon (bed) .
Then there was a knock on the door .
[Yunsan, are you awake?] Karina
[Karina? Yes, I’m awake . ] Yuna
After opening the door, Karina comes in with a pillow .
[What’s wrong? ] Yuna
[Can I sleep with you?] Karina
[Well, I don’t mind . ] Yuna
Karina happily climbs on the bed . There’s no way I can refuse since she even brought her own pillow .
[Yunsan is white . ] Karina
Karina saw my white bear version for the first time .
[I wear this whenever I go to bed . ] Yuna
That’s how I normally wear it . A white bear that takes away the fatigue is the best substitute for pajamas .
[It’s cute . ] Karina
[Karina looks pretty too . ] Yuna
Karina is also wearing a cute white sleepwear .
Much cuter than me .
[Yunsan, are you going home tomorrow? Then, can I say goodbye to Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan . ] Karina
Karina pet Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
Am I not included?
Bear-san will cry, you know?
[I’ll miss you since I won’t be able to see you . ] Karina
I’m glad that I was included .
[I will come again . ] Yuna
[Really?] Karina
[Yeah, I’ll come to see Karina when I’m going buy spices . ] Yuna
If I install a Bear Gate, I can come here in an instant . It’s a hassle though because I have to think about the place to install it .
[Really? You promise? I’ll be waiting for you!] Karina
[I promise . ] Yuna
To my words, Karina, who had a dark look, suddenly turned into a flowery smile .
[Swaying Bear-chan, Hugging Bear-chan . Let’s get together again!] Karina
<
[Uh, but I’ll be lonely after all . ] Karina
Karina embraced Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
[Then I’ll give you something good . ] Yuna
[Something good?] Karina
I took out the bear plushies of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear from the Bear Box . When Karina saw it, her eyes widened and now staring at the stuffed animals .
[Uh, what’s this?] Karina
[It’s a bear plush toy . It’s popular with the kids, you know . ] Yuna
Karina lifts the bear plush toy .
[Are you giving it to me?] Karina
[Take care of it . ] Yuna
[Thank you . ] Karina
Karina hugs the Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear plushies . Next to her, were the real Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear that had been set aside . I felt sad because I have lost another set of stuffed animals .
[But what should I do? If I hold the plushies, I can’t hold Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan . ] Karina
[In that case, why don’t we hold Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear tonight?] Yuna
[Yes, let’s do that!] Karina
Karina gets out of bed and puts her stuffed animals on the table . When she comes back, she hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, then falls down on the bed .
[Yunsan, please tell me your story . ] Karina
[My story?] Yuna
[Yes, tell me about the city where Yunsan lives, where you went, what monsters you’ve fought . ] Karina
[Hmm, that’s right………] Yuna
I started to tell a little story .
After talking for a while, I heard a quiet sleep next to me . Apparently, she fell asleep . Karina firmly hugged Swaying Bear unconsciously . When I called Hugging Bear who looks lonely, I hugged him .
[Good night . ] Yuna
I also went to sleep to get rid of today’s fatigue .
