Bear-san Guides Deiga-san, Part 3

Fina and I arrived in the room that was currently being used as a storage room.

There were indeed some belongings in the room, but there was also a bed, so if we cleaned this room a bit, Deiga-san could use it.

I put the big things in the bear box, and Fina opened the window to let in some fresh air.

"Uncle Deiga was pleased to see Anzu-chan." (Fina)

When Setsu looked more closely, something was flying, and after a short while, she realized what it was.

It radiated a strong pressure, but for Setsu it was a reassuring presence, just like her father.

"Hey, you guys! Out for a walk?" (Yuki)

It was Yuki who was flying.

He descended near the two of them, then made his three pairs of wings disappear and patted Setsu and Rir.

"Kuu!"

"Kuu."

Setsu, Rir and Yuki

The daughter of Rir and his wife.

Setsu.

Fenrir's young child with silky, fluffy fur.

Although she was born only a short time ago, she was able to express her own thoughts and feelings in her own voice, as Fenrirs grow up much faster than humans.

She could hold a conversation, albeit a little.

Her power of understanding was also developing, and she already...

Night.

The day had passed, and it was about time for everyone to go to sleep.

Recently, Riou seemed to be gradually distinguishing between day and night, perhaps due to her growth, and she woke up less often in the middle of the night, but Sakuya still often woke up at night and cried.

However, in those cases, Yuki, who rarely required much sleep as long as he was in the dungeon, and Lefi, who was the strongest of the physical beings because ...

A Day in the Life of Layla

Morning.

"Layla, it's morning!" (Lyuu)

At a time just after the sun had risen, Layla's dream-like consciousness rapidly emerged as she heard the voice of a colleague - or rather, a family member.

"Hmm... good morning... good morning!" (Layla)

"Haha, Layla is adorable in the morning." (Lyuu)

"…Shut up!" (Layla)

Her mind gradually b...

"Not rejecting, you say?"

"It's difficult to accept diverse values and problems. But that doesn't mean you have to reject them. For me, kindness is something that doesn't become visible, that no one realizes, and that fills in some small gaps."

From the outside, my words and actions may seem to show that I reject Liz-san. But in reality, I never reject Liz-san's ideas.

It was because of reality that the ideal shined. The ...

"We will regain the trust of the Auges Trading Company ourselves. If we can't do that, we will never be able to rise to this level."

...That was a good point.

Maybe I was taking Auges Trading Company for granted.

"Me?"

"Yes. Please tell me about your own worth."

His calm request left me speechless.

The moment I said it, the air in the room suddenly became heavy.

What on earth was this atmosphere...? I looked at Gordon-san, who was releasing this oppressive atmosphere, in amazement.

Gilbert was standing next to him, looking cool and collected. It seemed that Gilles next to me could also feel this pressure.

Sweat beading on our foreheads, Gilles and I waited for Gordon-san to speak.

Bear-san Guides Deiga-san, Part 2

"It's been a while." (Deiga)

It felt like it had been a long time since we last visited Mileela for an employee trip. Though only a few months have passed, you know?

"Why is father here?" (Anzu)

"Well, I just wanted to see how you were doing..." (Deiga)

"I didn't expect you to show up here unannounced." (Anzu)

"I'm sorry." (Deiga)

Bear-san Guides Deiga-san, Part 1

Today, Fina took me out of the house.

When I was lounging around in my room, she said to me, "You'll get fat like a Bear-san".

Bears are not fat. They are just big.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear also squeaked "Kuhn!" as if to deny it.

However, as Fina said, it was not good for our health to stay in the room.

It was a hassle, but I couldn't di...

Married Couple with Kids

"Well, Yuki..." (Lefi)

"Yes, my beautiful wife." (Yuki)

After putting Riou and Sakuya to bed...

"We are now a married couple with children. From now on, our daily lives will always be accompanied by taking care of our children." (Lefi)

"Yes, we have been taking care of Illuna and the kids, but now we have these kids to take care of too, so we'll be busy." (Yuki)

Side Story: Christmas Special 2022

A decorated Christmas tree.

Several strings of glittering decorations stretched from the star at the top of the tree, and decorations resembling snow were placed here and there, giving the room a Christmas atmosphere that even adults would enjoy.

The decorations in colorful hues were fun to see, and Riou, whom I was holding in my arms, was gazing at the tree with her mouth wide open.

The Spirit King and Cicerius (3)

After that, the Spirit King, Grandma Cicerius, and everyone continued chatting.

They discussed the wondrous things the Spirit King had experienced, the strange sights Old Lady Cicerius had seen, and their thoughts on Layla's vision of the world. They also discussed me, Lefi, Nell's country, Lyuu's village, and Rir and his family's life in the forest.

The conversation was lively and continued e...

“Pant, pant… Y-Your Majesty! Are you alright…? Huh, this is…?!”

The knights chasing after the king, who ran off alone on his own, arrived one after another, and their eyes widened as they noticed the changes in the campsite. Then, they were amazed. The urgent task they had in mind (preparation for immediate retreat) had already been completed by the time they arrived.

Then…

Bear-san Paints a Picture

Primme and Ronne kept coming to my place, but the Queen warned them not to.

Also, I didn't know Sherry was a stuffed animal mender.

When the orphanage was poor, she used to mend clothes, so maybe she ended up becoming good at mending during that time.

I would prefer it if they played with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear plushies until they were damaged, instead of letting them sit on t...

"Oh, that's not fair. I don't have any such blessings. I should have brought something as gifts... no, wait, there are a few things I kept with me because they were valuable, even though I don't use them myself..." (Cicerius)

Old Lady Cicerius started fumbling with one hand through the crack she created in the space, similar to what I do when I open and search through my item box.

"Oh no, you don't have to do that, you know?" (Yuki)

"No, it's...

“Ohh uh-oh? Ohhhh?”

Like the king he was, he was surprised by the changes to the campsite before he departed and after he returned.

“Ahem. Welcome back, Your Majesty. Are you by yourself?”

At that moment, Melsa cleared her throat and welcomed the king with a vassal bow. To others, her face would appear expressionless or indifferent, but if her family saw her now, they...

I was playing with Setsu, tossing a ball for her to chase. Rir brought her along with him when he came over to visit.

She chased the ball with her short limbs full of energy, and when she got the ball in her mouth, she came back to me.

Her tail wagging in the air was adorable.

Sherry's POV

I did embroidery and made Bear-san stuffed animals, and now I was receiving education on how to make clothes.

"Sherry-chan, you are going to the town square tomorrow, right?"

Nar-san was Temoka-san's wife, who ran a sewing shop.

Cliff had put me to work.

That mansion had a lot of history.

The owner of the house died for some reason.

It was something that couldn't be made public.

So, when the mansion got passed on to a distant relative of the original owner, they sold it to the Merchant Guild at a ...

The Skyte hunters left behind to guard the campsite looked around vigilantly and nervously as they talked to the Countess.

Cliff, with his Head in the Sand

[Cliff's POV]

While I was working, Yuna and Noa came to my office.

They had something to discuss with me.

After hearing what they had to say, I wanted to bury my head in the sand.

Fairies? 

I had heard that there were fairies somewhere, but this was the first time I had actually seen one.

No, I wanted to be angry. Normally, Cliff never cam...

It was the first time in a long time that I was home and relaxing.

Contrary to my feelings, two insects were happily flying in front of me.

Recently, the adults have been taking turns taking a nap in case Riou and Sakuya wake up at night.

So, just a few minutes ago, Lefi had also slept a bit at the Japanese Inn.

Sakuya

After Sakuya was born, things settled down somewhat.

Since it took a longer time than with Riou, or rather more than half a day, Sakuya was born just after nightfall and the sun had just risen.

Therefore, all the ladies were exhausted and fell asleep immediately after taking a bath and eating, so it was after the evening of that day when everyone finally started to work properly.

Meanwhile, I took care...
