Bear-san Meets Up Jubei-san
After relaxing in the garden with tea, we went to see other places.
“Yuna, can I have a moment? My master wants to meet you.” (Shinobu)
“Jubei-san?” (Yuna)
Jubei-san was the name of Shinobu’s master.
I fought him when I first arrived in this country.
I got a little angry at the time and got serious.
“I don’t mind. What about Noa and the others?” (Yuna)
“If you don’t mind, I’ll go with you.” (Noa)
“Yes, I don’t mind as well.” (Misa)
“Me too.” (Fina)
“Me too!” (Shuri)
After I confirmed with everyone, they agreed to follow me.
“So, who is this Jubei-san?” (Noa)
“Shinobu-san said he was her master?” (Misa)
“He’s the master who taught me how to fight.” (Shinobu)
“Eh, Shinobu-san? Can you fight?” (Noa)
Noa and the others were surprised.
“Yes, I can, but I’m not as strong as Yuna…” (Shinobu)
“No, Shinobu is strong.” (Yuna)
“You’re so flattering. I know I’m weak.” (Shinobu)
Although Shinobu claimed otherwise, I still think she’s a strong fighter.
My strength was only thanks to my bear equipment.
If I were not wearing my bear outfit, I’d be too weak to even beat Fina.
We headed to Jubei-san’s place while listening to Shinobu’s story.
…
After some time, we arrived at a place that looked like a training ground.
“So there’s a place like this in here as well.” (Noa)
“This is where the soldiers train.” (Shinobu)
“But there’s no one here.” (Noa)
“There’s no one here at this time of day.” (Shinobu)
“Ah, but there is one person here.” (Yuna)
Misa and everyone looked in the direction I was looking and saw Jubei-san, a man with a samurai-like appearance.
“Master!” (Shinobu)
“…You have arrived.” (Jubei)
Jubei-san walked over to me.
“Jubei-san, I heard you called me.” (Yuna)
“Sorry. I’d like to ask Yuna something.” (Jubei)
“What would you like to ask me?” (Yuna)
“Could you spar with Shinobu?” (Jubei)
“”What! Fight with Yuna (Shinobu)?””
My voice and Shinobu’s voice cried out in unison.
“Why is Shinobu surprised?” (Jubei)
“Master, you never told me about this arrangement before. What do you want by making me do this? Why ask me to spar with Yuna out of nowhere.” (Shinobu)
“It’s because you’re probably blaming yourself again for not being able to do anything in the last battle you were involved with Yuna.” (Jubei)
“Yeah, but I don’t understand why I suddenly have to fight Yuna.” (Shinobu)
“I want you to see for yourself what you are trying to reach and overcome.” (Jubei)
“Shinobu, are you aiming to be like me?” (Yuna)
“Jubei-Sama!”
Shinobu shouted in embarrassment.
