350 Bear-san Goes to the Sea (Day 2)

Credits to: valiant, Philip

The next day, it’s sunny outside. The weather is nice for swimming.

As soon as the children had their breakfast, they started preparing to go to the sea. They changed their clothes in their respective rooms. If you go down the pathway in front of the Bear Building, the beach will be right in front of you. Also, the pathway seems to be exclusively for my own use, so there should be no problem with walking in a swimsuit.

But for the time being, I told each of them to bring a large towel to the beach.

Looking out from my room, I saw the children running along the pathway. Lurina-san, Liz-san, and Elena-san were chasing after them.

Noa, Misa and Shia are also running towards the sea. After that, Marina and Eru followed them.

Looks like the director was the last one to arrive.

However, Nifu-san was not there.

It seems that Nifu-san want’s to go to the sea with the children, but the director said…

[Some people may be worried about you. We are fine here, so go ahead and show your face to them.] Director

That’s what she told her. Elena-san said she will take care of the children in her place. So, Nifu-san, even though uncomfortable, went to see her acquaintance in Mereera early in the morning. I’ll be worried if Nifu-san was alone, but since Anzu and the others went with her, it should be okay.

And Tirumina-san went to the town with Gentz-san to greet Anzu’s parents. After giving their greetings, they will visit the town.

When I asked if I should follow them, I was asked to take care of Fina and Shuri instead. That’s why I, Fina, and Shuri are the only ones left in Bear Building.

[Yuna-oneechan. Are you done yet?~] Shuri

[No, not yet.] Yuna

I answered Shuri who is waiting outside of my room. I was looking outside to escape from reality.

Yes, I’m wearing a swimsuit now. Speaking of what kind of swimsuit I had, I didn’t have the guts to show my belly, so I chose a black and white one piece swimwear. By no means is my stomach bloated. It has a constitution that does not make me look fat (instead, there is no flesh on some parts). I won’t get fat because I’m on a diet along with monster subjugation as exercise.

However, my abdomen and upper arms are soft and squishy.

Ah, the hurdles in wearing the swimsuit are too high.

I will wear my bear costume on top of my swimsuit. I don’t have the courage to go out wearing only a swimsuit. When I was about to slip my feet into my bear costume, Shuri, who can’t wait, entered the room.

[Yuna-oneechan. Hurry up~] Shuri

My eyes met Shuri’s eyes.

[Why do you want to wear the Bear-san clothes?] Shuri

[As I expected, it’s embarrassing, you know?] Yuna

[Yuna-oneechan. It’s beautiful. You look good in it.] Shuri

[Yes, she looks pretty. Her body is thin and her long hair is beautiful.] Fina

Fina entered the room following Shuri. She saw my swimsuit and gave her impressions. I didn’t think it was so embarrassing to be complimented for wearing a swimsuit.

[Let’s go, Yuna-oneechan. Everyone has already gone.] Shuri

[Noa-sama also went out saying that she would go first.] Fina

I know because I was watching from above. I was escaping reality.

Then Shuri and Fina came to me, they grabbed my arms and prevented me from wearing my bear costume.

[Yuna-oneechan. You’re okay, so let’s go quickly.] Shuri

I don’t know what she meant by okay. Shuri is pulling my arm. Right now, I wasn’t wearing my bear equipment.. Furthermore, I can’t resist because I’m not wearing my bear shoes. Shuri is pulling me with brute force.

Shuri, had that power all this time? Until now, I didn’t noticed it because I was wearing my bear costume.

[I get it, stop pulling so much.] Yuna

I gave up wearing my bear costume. When Shuri and Fina let go of my arms, I quickly wore my bear shoes and put on my bear puppets. Then I put the bear costume in the bear box.

In other words, I’m wearing my swimsuit, my bear shoes as usual, and my bear puppets.

The bear puppet is an item box, so it can’t be helped. And you have to wear shoes to the beach. So there’s nothing wrong with my outfit.

In the first place, I don’t have any other shoes, so it can’t be helped.

(TC: Objection! Sand will enter the shoes and it’s very annoying when it gets wet, so flops is way better.)

Well, even so, I feel depressed. But it’s nice to see the kids, Fina, and the others happy. Even though I designed it myself, the appearance of a swimsuit is somewhat embarrassing. Again, this is because I haven’t been to the sea and the pool since I stayed in my house all the time. For me, swimming is an unknown battleground.

I hung a large towel over my shoulder to hide my swimsuit. This calms me down a little. Fina and Shuri are also carrying towels according to my instructions.

And now that I’m ready, Fina and Shuri quickly pulled me out of the room. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in their cub form, silently followed us from behind.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are just there for insurance in case something unexpected happened. While I don’t think a Kraken will appear, but this is a different world. So it doesn’t hurt to be a little more careful. Besides, I look like this.

[Yuna-oneechan. Hurry, hurry.] Shuri

Shuri is about to run. Fina looks happily at it. My appearance that is looking at both of them with a tired expression is completed.

Upon reaching the beach, Shuri and Fina started running towards the sea.

[Properly do your warm-up exercise~] Yuna

I don’t know if there is a concept of warm-up exercise in this world, but I had to say it.

Looking at the beach, there are only us from Crimonia here. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a private beach. This place is also part of the town, but the main town is a little further away. Therefore, it seems that only a few people come to this area.

I look around, wondering what to do. There are children playing on the beach. All of them are wearing swimsuits and girls have names written on their chests.

And among them are bear-shaped children. Like Shuri, who’s wearing a bear-shaped swim-cap on her head. If you look at the back, you can see a round tail. It’s a really well made bear tail. I didn’t say the majority of them. There were about 10 children wearing bear swimwear.

By the way, Fina doesn’t wear a bear cap and she has no tail.

She said she wanted to use the same swimsuit as Noa. A swimsuit with a bikini frill. The color seems to be white.

They started playing on the beach.

What should I do now?

I don’t have the energy to swim and I don’t feel like joining into the circle of children.

For the time being, I decided to secure a place to rest. Honestly, it’s best to relax on beach chairs under the beach umbrellas. But there are no such things here.

So, as a second option, I took the beach house out of the bear box. The appearance of the beach house is like a normal one. There is no bear element attached to it.

I called the director, who is resting on the beach, to take a rest in the beach house instead.

[If the kids get tired, there are drinks in the refrigerator, so please give them something to drink and let them take a rest here.] Yuna

There is a large refrigerator in the corner and there is a place to rest. I took out some drink and give some to the director

[Thank you. I was a little worried because I forgot the drinks.] Director

[We have a lot, so please feel free to drink whenever you want.] Yuna

While I was talking with the director, the children who were curious about the beach house came to us. And when they look at me, they tilted their heads. I heard voices such as <Who?> <I don’t know.> <Is it Yuna-oneechan?> <Is that so?> <Maybe it’s Yuna-oneechan?>.

Apparently, they don’t recognize me.

I played with the bear puppet in front of the children.

[Yuna-oneechan?]

[I knew it! it’s Yuna-oneechan!]

The children came closer to me with a smile.

As expected, the kids seemed to recognize me only when I’m a bear.

The director is laughing at how strange our interaction was.

[I’m sorry. It was funny, so I can’t help it.] Director

I’m not really angry or anything. But haven’t you been laughing too much?

When I asked them if they wanted something to drink, they ran to the refrigerator. If you look at their backs, they have tails. While I’m looking at their tails, Lurina-san came together with a child.

[Just now, I wondered what would you take out, but it doesn’t seem to be a weird house.] Lurina

[Lurina-san, if you’re tired please take a rest.] Yuna

[Looks like you’re already tired Yuna-chan.] Lurina

I am mentally tired.

[Nevertheless, Yuna-chan, you have that long hair and you seem to have a slender and delicate body.] Lurina

Lurina-san was staring at and scrutinizing my body, so I hid it with a towel.

[I can see why were the kids got confused. I wondered who was this beautiful girl. I wouldn’t realized if I hadn’t seen the kids interact with you.] Lurina

[Lurina-san is also beautiful.] Yuna

[Fufu… Thank you.] Lurina

Puni Puni, Puni Puni. (Squishing SFX)

I ignored Lurina-san’s flattery and praised her back instead.

Lurina-san is actually a beautiful woman. I often wondered, why such a beautiful woman was with Deborane.

Puni Puni, Puni Puni.

And unlike me, her figure in a swimsuit really suits her.

Lurina-san’s swimsuit was a bikini. Made of simple white fabric. However, the bikini has beautiful floral embroidery. Indeed, it may be that the uniqueness was emphasized by the embroidery instead of the design.

When Sherry sees it, I’ll be a bit worried about her making a swimsuit with bear embroidery.

Well, she shouldn’t have any more chances to make a swimsuit, so it should be okay.

Puni Puni, Puni Puni.

[But as I thought Yuna-chan was a cute girl, but I didn’t think that the contents of that bear were these thin arms and legs. You used these thin arms to beat up male adventurers and defeat monsters, I’m impressed.] Lurina

Puni Puni, Puni Puni.

Lurina-san has been squishing my upper arms for a while now.

[You hit Deborane with such a soft arm. I can’t believe it.] Lurina

Puni Puni, Puni Puni.

[Ano, can you stop what you’re doing?] Yuna

[It’s soft and feels good.] Lurina

[How about touching your own chest?] Yuna

Though it’s not as big as Eru. Lurina-san’s chest is somewhat reasonable.

[It wouldn’t be fun to touch myself.] Lurina

When I shook off Lurina-san’s hand, her chest shook as well.

My chest? It won’t shake.

I want to remodel the sandy beach.

For the time being, I built a beach house
