Fina and the others are screaming, but Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear did not dive into the sea but running above the sea as they tackle the waves . Instead of stepping on a puddle with water splashing all over, they’re really running on the surface tension like it’s the ground .
[Hu, Hugging Bear-chan is running on the sea!] Shuri
Just like the first time Shuri rode on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, she was overjoyed . While Fina and Shia are dumbfounded and silent . There is nothing blocking the sea . No boats either . Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are both running under the blue sky and over the blue sea .
I don’t know whether there are people looking, so I instructed Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to leave the land .
[Yunoneesan! Swaying Bear-chan is running on the sea! What’s going on!] Fina
Fina finally rebooted and asked me .
[It’s the ability of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear . Please keep this secret . ] Yuna
[I won’t tell anyone, but still, it’s unbelievable . They’re running on the sea . I was surprised when they got smaller and now this! Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are both really amazing . ] Fina
[And if there are monsters nearby, they will warn us and they will even fight . ] Shia
Fina and Shia lined up the awesomeness of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
[And they’re fluffy . ] Shuri
Shuri hugs Hugging Bear .
[Well, I’m not Noa . But still, I want Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan . ] Shia
[I want them too . ] Shuri
Shia declared and Shuri followed suit .
[Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are my family . I won’t give them . ] Yuna
[Then, if I marry Yunsan, I can be with Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan . ] Shia
Shia jokingly said that .
[If I get married to Yunoneechan, can I stay with Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan too?] Shuri
[If I get married, that’s true . But both girls can’t do it . ] Yuna
To begin with, I have no desire to get married . Basically, I don’t get the image of me being with a man . With that in mind, I may not be able to get married for the rest of my life . Well, there’s no problem because I’m fine with it .
[But I didn’t think I could have the experience of running on water . I had a good souvenir story for my mother . ] Shia
[I’m telling you not to tell anyone . ] Yuna
[Is it no good even if it’s my mother?] Shia
……I can only imagine .
Once Eleanorsan knew of it . First, she will tell it to Cliff and the King . And then, it will be transmitted from Cliff to Noa .
And on the King’s side . He’s going to talk about it to Princess Flora, Tilia, and the Queen . Though I don’t know if he’ll tell it to his son, the crown prince .
For the time being, it’s better to prevent it from spreading .
[If Eleanorsan knows, she’ll talk about it to Cliff and the King, so please keep it secret . ] Yuna
[That’s true . My mother would talk to them about it . I don’t want Yunsan to hate me, so I’ll keep silent . ] Shia
[And neither Fina nor Shuri can tell anyone as well . ] Yuna
[Yes . ] Fina
[Un . ] Shuri
I also made the two make a promise . The two kept silent about Kraken even if they were tickled by Tiruminsan . Shuri is selfish, but basically, she is a good girl who keeps her promise . Besides, she can’t help it because she’s a child . And in the first place, even Noa and Shia said that Fina was a good and obedient child .
So this time, it was rare when Fina said that she wanted to come with me .
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are far from the land . I check the location of the mysterious island on the bear map . It is inconvenient that the map can only grasp a certain distance, but I can figure out the approximate direction . Well, the harbor is over there, so the island is in this direction .
While looking at the Bear Map, I told Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to head to the mysterious island taught to me by Kuro-ojisan .
[Ah, I can see the Bear-san made by Yunoneechan . ] Shuri
Shuri points towards the distant coast . The bear water-slide is there . Because it’s a big bear, it can be seen well from a distance . However, the appearance of children playing on the bear water-slide cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye . It looks like something that seems to be small people moving around .
If it is that much of a distance from here, it should be the same when looking towards here from the other side .
[We can’t see Noa and the others from here . ] Yuna
[Nooneechan? I can’t see her . ] Shuri
[Yes, she’s too small to see . ] Yuna
[As expected, you can’t see them at this distance . ] Shia
I’m glad I couldn’t see them even with my eyesight as 5 . 0 as in some countries . I’m not sure if my eyesight is 5 . 0, but I wonder how far I can grasp it .
In this world, do adventurers have that much visual acuity? But at this distance, you can’t tell who you are looking at .
We proceeded while checking the map . We kept running at this pace for a while . And so, we can now see our target, the mysterious island . I checked the map and the direction that Kuro-ojisan taught me . That’s definitely the island .
According to Kuro-ojisan, it suddenly appeared and disappeared without his knowledge, so it was possible that it might’ve already been gone overnight . I’m glad it hasn’t vanished yet .
[Is that the island?] Shia
[If that’s the island they taught me then there’s no mistake . ] Yuna
Kuro-ojisan is old, but he’s not getting dull yet . He’s still sharper than the other fishermen . He shouldn’t make a mistake about this .
As we approach the island, I instructed Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to slow down .
[Then, let’s be careful when we get to the island . If there is a danger, you will immediately return . You will not act on your own . That’s right, Fina and Shuri shouldn’t get off from Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear except for Shia . ] Yuna
[Yes . ] Fina
[Un . ] Shuri
Both of them replied properly .
If there is something dangerous, they can escape or be protected by riding on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear .
As we come near the island, just like Kuro-ojisan says, large whirlpools swells around the island . They’re unnaturally rippling around the island .
With this, it is impossible to go to the island by boat . If you get caught up, it may be difficult to escape . Often, there was a fisherman who saw this whirlpool and still decided to go by boat . Even an amateur seems to understand that it is dangerous . He’s either overconfident in his ship maneuvering skills or just plain stupid .
[The whirlpools are really going wild around the island . ] Yuna
[Yunoneechan . I’m scared . ] Shuri
Shuri, who is sitting in front, grabs Hugging Bear tightly .
Certainly, it may be scary to look at it up close . Just by looking at it makes me feel like I’m being sucked into the whirlpools .
[It’s okay, you’re riding on Hugging Bear . ] Yuna
[But they can’t bring us closer to the island . ] Shia
[It’s okay since we’re riding on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear . The problem is where we can land on the island . ] Yuna
It’s impossible to do it with a boat . But we’re not on a boat . We’re Riding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear . In the past, they crossed a torrent river . Whirlpools are nothing compared to it . We go around the island clockwise to find a place that is easy to land on . I found some places with low cliffs . We will try to land on the island from there .
[Because we will pass over the whirlpools, it may shake a little, so hold on firmly . ] Yuna
Well, they won’t fall, but I said it just to be careful . Basically, when I’m riding Swaying Bear it feels like I’m stuck with super glue and I couldn’t fall no matter what I do . However, if you feel like getting off, you may fall .
Therefore, it is necessary to be prepared not to fall . The three hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear tightly so that they don’t fall .
After confirming this, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear rushed out and jump over the whirlpools as if they were bouncing . Then, they landed on the island after a few more jumps .
[We really crossed the whirlpools . ] Shia
[Hugging Bear-chan is amazing . ] Shuri
I used my detection skills to look around . There was no reaction from monsters within the range . Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear also showed no reaction to danger sense . However, there may be ordinary beasts even if there’s no danger from monsters .
I got off from Hugging Bear .
[Both of you don’t get off . ] Yuna
[Yes . ] Fina
[Un . ] Shuri
Both of them replied
[When you come to a place like this, it really gets you excited . ] Shia
When Shia got off Swaying Bear, she took out the sword from the item bag and hung it on her waist .
It certainly is exciting . It’s fun to go to a new place . But that maybe because I’m with Fina and the other two . It’s more fun to play in multiplayer than solo campaigns . (TC: I beg to differ . )
There is no doubt that I can say I have a lot of solo gaming experience .
[Yunoneechan . Is there a treasure here?] Shuri
Shuri asks with her eyes shining . Didn’t she say she wanted to go because she wanted to see treasures?
[Well, I don’t know? Does Shuri want the treasure?] Yuna
[If I find it, I’ll give it to mom and dad . ] Shuri
To Tiruminsan? Some unexpected words came out .
I look towards Fina .
[Etto, Fina . Are you in trouble with money so much? Is your household budget really that severe?] Yuna
I’m worried about the household budget of a 10-year-old girl, but I’m curious, so I asked . She’s currently my employee . If she’s having a hard time, I’ll have to think about it .
However, Tiruminsan’s salary should be raised as it is . Gentz-san also works in the Adventurer’s Guild . I don’t think they’re in trouble with money .
Maybe Gentz-san is drowning in alcohol?
[Etto, thanks to Yunsan, we’re not in trouble with money . Shuri, why are you giving the treasure to mom and dad?] Fina
[They said that if you have more family members, it will cost you more money . ] Shuri
[Family!?] Yuna
Maybe there is a baby in Tiruminsan’s stomach?
[Fina, is that so?] Yuna
[I, I don’t know . ] Fina
Apparently, Fina doesn’t know . If Tiruminsan’s belly really has a baby, we have to celebrate .
But Shuri is already thinking about that .
[We may not find treasure, but I hope we can find some souvenirs . ] Yuna
[Un!] Shuri
First off, we will go around the seaside to check the topography of the island . Shia and I will be in front, Fina who’s riding Swaying Bear will be behind us, followed by Shuri who’s riding Hugging Bear .
I used wind magic to mow the obstructive grass . There was no evidence that people passed by for a long time . Was it hard to get to the center of the island?
I can cut grass, but not the trees . I hope there is a place where we can easily go to . As we walked as if we were trotting, Fina in the back screamed .
[Yunoneesan . There are Orens . ] Fina
There are many Oren fruits in a big tree in front of me . Well, it’s technically oranges . I often see them in Crimonia, where I normally bought them, and ate them .
I jumped lightly and picked the delicious Oren . Then I gave it to everyone .
[It looks delicious . ] Fina
[Yunsan, you can easily do great things . ] Shia
I peeled and ate the Oren fruit . I think it tastes better than the usual Oren which I always eat .
[Hugging Bear-chan, a~n . ] Shuri
When Shuri reaches out and puts Oren in front of Hugging Bear’s mouth, Hugging Bear bends his neck and eats it properly . Fina saw it, so she imitated it and fed Swaying Bear .
If you walk a bit further, you will find a tree with apples . But, to think that there is such a tree here .
Shuri must’ve also eaten it before, so I’ll pick it up just like the Oren .
Perhaps this island is a treasure trove of fruits?
