Bear-san, Throws A Bear Party
The birthday party ended successfully, Tirumina-san and Gentz-san went home, leaving Fina and Shuri behind.
To hold a bear party.
“I had a lot of fun today. Usually parties are always a formal occasion.” (Noa)
“I agree. I also think it’s better to have parties only with people you know.” (Misa)
Misa agreed with Noa’s words.
When it comes to an aristocratic party, there will be people you don’t know, people you haven’t seen in a few years, and people you didn’t have the intention to invite them over in the first place. On the other hand, even if you don’t want to go to the party, you have to, since attendance is mandatory.
I understand that feeling. I don’t want to attend a party of someone I don’t want to meet either.
(Read the first volume of the manga. Yuna’s grandfather is the president of a conglomerate. Did Yuna even attend when she was young? We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause readers due to the additional settings in the manga.)
Moreover, if you’re a noble, the topic of marriage would likely come up, and that topic seems to be a pain to deal with.
After the party, we took off our dresses and borrowed a bath.
The four washed Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s bodies, dried them with a hair dryer, and brushed them as thanks for letting them ride.
By the way, in the bath, I turned them into cubs because, otherwise, it would be difficult to wash and dry them.
After leaving the bath, all of us changed into bear themed clothes.
Naturally, I am dressed exactly like a bear. But then again I always dress up as a bear though.
By the way, I’m wearing my white bear suit. I’m exhausted from wearing dresses today, so I didn’t hesitate to choose a white bear suit.
After changing into bear clothes, we moved to the guest room.
It was a strange sight to see us dressed up as a group of bear-suit-wearing girls (seven of us), including Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, walking down the hallway.
Lara-san, however, gave us a warm look as we passed each other, saying, “You are all so cute”. I wanted to ask her if I was included, but I decided not to, as I would have suffered fatal emotional damage if I had.
(**editor’s note: I had to struggle between using psychological damage, but the meme emotional damage is current, so I hope the relevancy drives home to a point about Yuna’s view of herself… Well, you get it at this point)
We arrived at the guest room where we will be staying today. Five beds were in the room, and they were placed without gaps. They seem to have prepared this room for five (seven?) individuals to sleep together.
“So, what’s a bear party all about anyway?” (Fina)
Fina asked.
It seems that Fina was only told to bring bear clothes.
“It’s about dressing up as a bear and having a chat with everyone.” (Noa)
“Is that it?” (Fina)
“That’s it.” (Noa)
Fina was relieved by those words.
She thought she was going to do something weirder than that.
“We have tea on hand, so there’s plenty of time for chatting.” (Noa)
A pot of tea prepared by Lara-san was placed on the table. Noa herself served the tea.
“Let me help you.” (Fina)
“It’s all right. You are our guests today. Besides, even I can brew a cup of tea.” (Noa)
Noa says and makes tea in everyone’s cup.
We started the bear party with a cup of tea.
“Then again, I didn’t think Noa could make stuffed animals.” (Yuna)
“Fufu, I thought I’d surprise you.” (Noa)
“Yeah, it was surprising.” (Yuna)
“But compared to the stuffed toy I got from Yuna-san, it pales in comparison.” (Noa)
Noa compared her stuffed animals with the ones she made.
In the room, there were the plushies that Noa had and the ones that Noa gave to Fina.
“Well, it was made by a real professional. And they’ve made dozens of them, so it can’t be helped that it pales in comparison.” (Yuna)
Sherry, who was always good at sewing, made the bear stuffed dolls. She loves sewing and was taught by Naru-san every day. It was inevitable that there was a difference between this stuffed animal and the one made by Sherry.
It was extremely difficult to keep up with people who were doing the work they love.
“Yes, I did. But I got the hang of it. Now I’ll make one for myself. And someday I will be able to make it well.” (Noa)
Noa declared emphatically.
Maybe the next time I come to Noa’s room, it will be full of stuffed bears.
But I think Noa is amazing. She’s studying and will also be practicing magic. She even have the time to practice making a stuffed animal in between. I honestly think she’s incredible.
“Go for it, but do it in moderation.” (Yuna)
We talked about stuffed animals, then other things, then magic.
