Bear-san, Fighting Spiders Part 1
“So you’re saying we should defeat the Giant Spiders in the village, right?” (Yuna)
I tried to be strong in front of Deborane but to tell you the truth; I didn’t want to fight. Fighting that big spider was damaging to my psyche. Even the best bear gear would not protect me from the mental damage.
So I wanted to leave everything to Deborane. But I can’t do that either, so I want to avoid at least cleaning up the mess.
“I’ll help you take down the Giant Spiders, but I won’t process the Giant Spiders.” (Yuna)
This much was non-negotiable.
Sorry, but I would not even want Giant Spiders in my bear box.
Of all the insects, spiders were super hard for me to deal with. I didn’t even want to think about bringing home a spider that big, and I didn’t want Fina to dismantle it, either.
So I have decided to have Deborane take care of the Giant Spiders. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝑒𝘵
I didn’t think I would be punished if I did that.
By the way, I buried the spiders I had defeated until I arrived in the village.
“Does that mean you’re giving me all the materials for all the Giant Spiders?” (Deborane)
Deborane frowns.
Did you really think I would want all of Giant Spider’s materials?
“I’ll give you all of it. I don’t want it. I can’t even look directly at it.” (Yuna)
“Really. Then we’ll deal with the Giant Spider you killed.” (Deborane)
Deborane grinned.
It was a nasty grin, but we had a deal.
Dealing with the Giant Spiders would mean touching them with my hands and sticking a knife into them. I couldn’t even imagine it.
For the first time, I might have some respect for Deborane.
“First of all, let me tell you, it’s too late to demand it later.” (Deborane)
“I won’t ask for it. So keep your word. If you don’t keep your word, this is what you get.” (Yuna)
I made a straight punch.
Deborane’s face twitched as she remembered the punch I had given him.
I was pleased to see the smirk disappear from Deborane’s face.
“Hey, wait a minute. Are you really going to let that young lady dressed as a bear fight?” (Village Chief)
The Village Chief, silently listening to me, asked as he looked at me.
“Don’t worry, this bear is not just any bear. She’s stronger than I am.” (Deborane)
“Stronger than Deborane-san?” (Village Chief)
“Only a little bit.” (Yuna)
I didn’t mean to flaunt my strength since it was thanks to the Bear Equipment God had given me. But why did I feel annoyed when he said I was slightly stronger than him?
I guess I didn’t make a good first impression after all.
They say first impressions matter.
“So don’t worry.” (Deborane)
At Deborane’s words, the Village Chief looked at me with concern.
The Village Chief’s impression of me might be that of a little girl who wants to defeat a monster. If a strange girl told me she would defeat a monster, even I would be worried.
I turned to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear and reassured the Village Chief, “They will protect me, don’t worry”.
“Understood.” (Deborane)
The Village Chief turned to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear as he said so.
I was glad he was concerned, but I didn’t want to be held back.
“Well then, we’re going to take them down, Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, let’s go.” (Yuna)
“Kuun.”
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, who had been sitting on the floor, stood up.
“Lanz, we’re going too.” (Deborane)
Deborane and Lanz, who had been tending to their heavy swords, also got up from their chairs.
Apparently, they would fight the Giant Spiders together.
“Village Chief. When we leave the house, make sure the door is tightly closed.” (Deborane)
“Yes. Everyone, thank you for your help.” (Village Chief)
Deborane opened the door and, along with Lanz, me, Swaying Bear, and Hugging Bear, walked out of the house. Once we were all out, the Village Chief bowed his head and closed the door behind us.
“Don’t slow me down.” (Yuna)
