In the afternoon I’m going to buy spices with Karina.
Rasa-san can’t go with me because she has a job. By the way, there are several servants in the mansion. However, Rasa-san is the only one living there. That’s why she’s having her meal together with the lord’s family.
[Will you really be fine if I don’t come with you?] Rasa
[It’s okay because I know the store. Also you have a job Rasa.] Karina
[That’s right, however….] Rasa
Rasa-san is worried.
However, I got a piece of paper with the spice ingredients and the amount, so I’ll just have to ask the shop owner and buy it.
If you know the location of the shop, then there is no problem for me.
I head for the shop selling spices with Karina.
We’re walking on the street.
(TN: glancing sfx.)
[Bear?] [Bear?] [Bear?] (TN: just like how the title is written in three different dialect.) (「くま？」「クマ？」「熊？」.)
We’re walking on the street.
[Bear?] [Bear?] [Bear?]
Karina, who’s walking with me from a while ago, is the one getting the vibes from all the gazes.
The people we pass by are staring at us.
I don’t think Karina should care about it, because the one they’re exactly looking at is me.
It’s embarrassing to walk along side me who’s wearing a Bear Costume.
[Um, Yuna-san. I know it’s a bit late for me to ask this but, do you always dress like that?] Karina
[Yeah, that’s right.] Yuna
I don’t know where are the hazards will come from.
Without my Bear Equipment, I’m but a poor girl who shut herself in her house. I don’t think I can beat the lively Fina.
I may not be able to walk outside for a long time.
[Of course, I think it’s cute, but don’t you care about your surroundings?] Karina
I just steeled myself.
But life is about giving up.
I simply ignore all the gazes.
If I don’t, I’ll lose.
However, I’m a little bothered about the gazes, so I pulled down my Bear Hood a little.
[Karina if you’re worried about it, I’ll keep a little distance.] Yuna
I’m used to it by now.
But if Fina does it, I may feel depressed. And that is a one way ticket to solitary confinement in my house.
Of course, being with Karina doesn’t mean I will not get depressed, but that’s the issue about the length of the relationship.
[I’m okay. I’m used to being stared at as the lord’s daughter.] Karina
Karina’s face turns a little red, then she grabs my Bear Puppet.
However, there is a difference between heaven and the earth if you can see yourself walking beside me who’s dressed as a Bear and being seen as the lord’s daughter.
But Karina is happy.
[Yuna-san, almost there. Let’s go.] Karina
Karina pulled my Bear Puppet.
Guided by Karina, we arrive to a shop selling spices.
[Karina do you come here to buy spices as well?] Yuna
[Sometimes I come with Rasa for shopping.] Karina
We entered the store while holding hands with Karina.
At that moment, the aroma of various spices enticed my nose.
Looking at the shelves, you can see various types of seasonings and spices.
But maybe it’s about to be sold out, half of the shelves are empty.
Karina is also staring at the empty shelves.
As we look at the shelves, a man in his mid-30’s who seems to be the owner of the store approaches.
[Oh if it isn’t Karina-sama, …A Bear !?] Shop Owner
The man greets Karina and when he looks at me he got surprised with his eyes widened.
