Chapter 500

Bear-san, Finishes Drawing The Picture Book.

I started to draw the picture book.

The girl’s family relied on the guildmaster of the Adventurers’ Guild.

“I thought Dad was the acquaintance?” (Fina)

Fina asked if she knew who was supposed to be representing the guildmaster.

“I figured since the girl wanted permission to be with Bear-san, it might as well be the guy with the highest position.” (Yuna)

It would not be fun to draw a story about Bear-san being persecuted here, and it would be better to have someone with influence in this area. Sorry, Gentz-san, but you’re not influential enough.

“It’s certainly impossible for Dad, isn’t it?” (Fina)

I kinda feel sorry for Gentz-san since you were the one saying that.

But I thought so too, which was the reason why I used the guildmaster, so that no one could argue with him.

I also considered the fact that Tirumina-san was a former adventurer to solidify the guildmaster being an acquaintance.

“But Bear-san and the guildmaster know each other? Moreover, he peed his pants?” (Fina)

Fina smiled at Bear-san’s words.

“It’s better to make him acquainted with Bear-san so they can get help from the guildmaster. Peeing is for his weakness, to differentiate him from an actual guildmaster.” (Yuna)

In case you’re wondering, I’ll say this in the Guildmaster’s honor. I don’t know anything about the Guildmaster’s past.

And so, the girls’ family was safely taken care of by the guildmaster.

“Wait. Mom works for the Adventurers’ Guild?” (Fina)

“After all, there’s no orphanage, and no kokekko.” (Yuna)

At one point, I thought about a story about raising kokekko in the forest, guided by Bear-san, but I decided against it because it would have to involve “the commerce guild harassing the girl who started a business without permission”. It would not be fun to draw such a story.

Besides, if the story was too far removed from real-life events, it would be troublesome to think about future developments.

If I could somehow incorporate the orphanage and kokekko into the picture book, then only I would draw it.

“As expected, the girl does dismantling work.” (Fina)

The mother started working in the Adventurer’s Guild, and the girl also started helping out in the Adventurer’s Guild and learning to dismantle things.

“The girl is based on Fina after all.” (Yuna)

“U~u……” (Fina)

Fina looked embarrassed, but there was no way around it. The girl was Fina and Bear-san was me.

So, the girl should be able to dismantle things, just like Fina.

“The girl is taking a walk?” (Fina)

“I’m thinking of having the girl meet Noa after this. So I’m going to have Bear-san play an active role.” (Yuna)

In reality, I had already subjugated various monsters before Noa heard about it. She then called me afterward. That was how I met Noa.

In the meantime, in order to make the girl in the picture book meet the lord’s daughter, I will have the girl and Bear-san fight a few monsters so that the lord’s daughter would hear about the girl and Bear-san.

“The girl won’t become an adventurer like Yuna-oneesan, right?” (Fina)

“Because she’s too young and doesn’t have the power.” (Yuna)

In reality it’s the same with me, a girl with no power. Without the bear equipment, I wouldn’t have the power to fight. The girl in the picture book has no power to fight without Bear-san.

However, at first, as a bear-user girl, I thought about making her an adventurer. But I felt that her mother would not allow it, so I decided not to make her an adventurer under the current circumstances.

Besides, I don’t think I’m actually doing anything that would be typical of an adventurer.

The picture book then became a classic scene where a wagon was attacked.

“Could it be that this family in the wagon are the people you met when you went to Misa-sama’s birthday party?” (Fina)

“You got it.” (Yuna)

I drew the story from my own experiences. It’s easier for me to come up with the content of the picture book that way.

“It’s because the wheel got stuck in a pothole and stopped at the same place.” (Fina)

Fina was with me at the time, so she understood it. No one else would know if they read it.

The girl and Bear-san then helped the family that was being attacked by monsters.

“The girl didn’t run away, did she?” (Fina)

“I want the children who read this book to be inspired to help others in need.” (Yuna)

I was hoping the children who read the picture book and saw that the girl helped the family, would also reach out to others who were in the same situation.

A girl, who her mother was protecting, was saved by Bear-san when monsters attacked the wagon.

It should inspire readers that if you fell down and someone gave you a hand, when you see a child who fell down, give them a hand in return to play it forward.

If you help me, I will help you. Or something like that.

If someone’s in need, it’s important to help them without looking away.

Within your limits, of course. Don’t do anything that you cannot handle. Even if an adventurer saves you from monsters, you can’t defeat monsters the same way adventurers do.

It’s important not to abandon someone but to call for help.

So the girl in the picture book understood that she could not help and instead asked Bear-san.

Then word spreads that the girl and Bear-san defeated (drove away) the monsters, and the daughter of the lord, played by Noa, heard about it.

“Ah, Noa-sama.” (Fina)

“She asked me to make an appearance.” (Yuna)

Sometime later, the girl and Bear-san were asked by the guildmaster to go to the lord’s house.

This was also in my experience anyway.

I remember I didn’t like it at the time because it was a summon from the nobility. If I hadn’t gone, I wouldn’t have met Noa.

It’s kinda nostalgic.

That encounter with me was the beginning of Noa’s love for bears. Now that I think about it, did I make one person’s life crazy?

I want to think it’s not bad.

And a girl who played Noa appeared. She was a girl with long golden hair.

“Fufu, Noa-sama’s picture is cute.” (Fina)

Cliff was there at the time, but I’ll cut his appearance in the picture book because he’s a pain in the ass. The problem was, Eleanora-san, I feel like she could live in the mansion with her, but I’ll only have the girl who played Noa make an appearance this time.

And the girl became friends with the noble girl through Bear-san.

This story also wants to express the hope that ordinary people and aristocrats, like Fina and Noa, would get along with each other regardless of their status.

“I want the commoner girl to get along with the nobles, like Fina and Noa.” (Yuna)

“Yes.” (FIna)

The final picture ended with two girls having fun with Bear-san.

“It’s a little embarrassing.” (Fina)

After finishing up the final drawing, the picture book was completed.

“I’m tired~” (Yuna)

“Thank you for your hard work.” (Fina)

Fina offered me a cup of tea.

“Delicious.” (Yuna)

Fina looked happy at my words.

“Yuna-oneesan, you’re really good at drawing.” (Fina)

She said that while looking at the picture I drew.

“Just like what I told Sakura, it just takes practice. Even Fina learned dismantling by doing it over and over again, right? It’s the same thing.” (Yuna)

No one can do it well from the beginning.

“But, Yuna-oneesan. You’re an amazing adventurer, you can cook, and you can draw. If someone is in trouble, you help them. You are awesome, Yuna-oneesan.” (Fina)

“That’s because I’m a little more mature than Fina. I’ve been cooking since I was a kid, and I used to draw whenever I was free.” (Yuna)

The magical power was given by God, but I learned my fighting technique from the game.

And I don’t help everyone who’s in need. But only those within my reach. So I am not as great as Fina says.

I just had more money than others, more culinary knowledge, more magic, and more fighting skills.

I may have more ways to save people than others.

But the royalty and nobility can save more people than I do.

I was saved by meeting Fina. If I had not met such a kind girl like Fina, I might have become twisted when I came to this world. I reached out my hand and pet Fina’s head.

“Fina, you’re also an amazing girl.” (Yuna)

“Why are you patting me on the head all of a sudden!” (Fina)

“For some reason?” (Yuna)

I just had a lot on my mind and simply pet her head.

Fina, who doesn’t understand my intention, has a “?” mark floating on her head.

After finishing the picture book, I asked Fina to stay a little longer.

To check out the “Bear Trail”.  (『クマの道しるべ』)

After obtaining the “Bear Trail”, I returned to Crimonia. I was curious about the name of the skill, which seemed to bring trouble. Still, I was curious, so I looked into it. But I couldn’t find anything.

Will it show itself when the time comes? Would I have to go somewhere? I have no idea. They should have given me more information. If this was a game, then it’s a shitty one.

For the time being, I will confirm again that no one could not touch it except me.

I put out the “Bear Trail” on the table.

“What is this?” (Fina)

“I’ve got an unusual item, I think I’m the only one who can touch it. But can you try to touch it too?” (Yuna)

“Etto, okay.” (Fina)

Fina slowly reached out and tried to touch the “Bear Trail”, but as expected, she couldn’t touch it.

“……My hand slips through.” (Fina)

Fina curiously repeatedly tried to touch the “Bear Trail” but was unable to do so.

Next, I took out a piece of cloth, grabbed the “Bear Trail” and put it on the top of the cloth.

“Yuna-oneesan, the cloth can touch it.” (Fina)

I grabbed the four corners of the cloth and lifted it up like a cloth bag. Of course, without any resistance, the cloth bag containing the “Bear Trail” was lifted up.

“Fina, hold it.” (Yuna)

I gave the cloth bag to Fina.

The moment Fina received the cloth, the “Bear Trail” slipped off the cloth and the “Bear Trail” rolled on the floor.

“Uwa ā, I’m sorry.” (Fina)

Fina rushed to pick it up, but her hand just slipped through and she couldn’t pick it up.

I picked it up.

I knew it was a bad idea.

Next, I put it on a plate, but the result was the same.

Finally, the “Bear Trail” on the table fell under the table when Fina moved the table just a little bit.

Apparently, when others try to move it, it will pass through as if it’s trying to escape.

By the way, when I placed it on the ground in the garden and dug the ground, only the soil was dug up.

Maybe this can be used as a magic trick?

“There are no tricks or gimmicks,” or “Oh, mysteriously, the ball has passed through.” I just thought of something stupid.

And finally, I did one last experiment.

Whether or not Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear can touch it.

Surprisingly, they can touch it. But in the end, I took away “Bear Trail” because Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear started playing with it.

I wondered if bears like to play with round things too. Were they the same as cats or dogs?
