c298: Bear-san’s Journey in the Deser

Is there a good place somewhere?

I looked around with at the surroundings while riding Swaying Bear. (TN: neck turning sfx.)

I have no plans at this time, but I would like to set up a Bear Gate.

There’s no limit to how much Bear Gates I can install and it will not be wasted if made it.

But I can’t buy a house or set up a Bear House in town, so I’m looking for a hard-to-find place outside of town.

There are still many rocks in this area, so if I want to set up a Bear Gate, its better to make it in a big boulder.

I moved away from the road and went to a big chunk of boulder.

It seems that nobody comes around here.

I stopped when I found a boulder that looks good enough.

Is this a good spot?

I magically drill a hole in the boulder where a Bear Gate will be set up.

Then, I set up a Bear Gate a bit deeper in the hole.

Finally, I covered the hole with Earth Magic and hid the Bear Gate.

Is this good enough?

Whenever I use it, the hole will be pitch black, but I have to hide it so it can’t be helped.

Then I head back to the road.

As I travel with Swaying Bear along the road, I saw some thin objects that were not visible from the boulder.

Is that a pillar?

From here, it still looks like a thin stick.

As I move closer towards the bar it gradually became thicker and larger, enough to be recognized as a pillar.

As I approach the pillars, the ground at my feet gradually turns into sand and the rocks gradually disappears.

When I arrive at the pillar, the whole area turns into sand and it seems like this is the real entrance to the desert.

The pillars are as big as a large tree, it has the thickness of four or five people holding hands around it.

The height is surprisingly high.

I looked up.

Doesn’t it look like a 10-storey apartment building in the neighborhood?

I tried to touch it, I don’t know whether it was made by magic or not, but it feels sturdy.

I want to challenge myself to make the same thing, but I don’t want to surprise anyone, so I’ll restrain myself.

And when I look ahead, the second pillar can be seen.

Certainly, if aim for the pillar, I won’t get lost.

No matter how much skills I have for Bear Map, I will get lost if I didn’t know the destination.

But with this, I won’t get lost this time.

I jump onto Swaying Bear and head out for the second pillar.

[Well then, Swaying Bear. Aim for that pillar.]

Swaying Bear started running after answering with .

When I look at Swaying Bear’s feet, he’s running on the sand just like on a normal ground without being buried in the sand.

As expected of the summoned beast that God gave me.

He runs fast and has a lot of stamina.

He can run on water, so there is no problem with sand.

Moreover, there’s a high quality of .

It is the finest gift.

It is a desert I’ve seen for the first time, but it may be a surprisingly beautiful landscape.

Perhaps that seems to be the impression that I have because of the Bear Equipment and the Bears.

Without it, I might have perceived it as a land of the dead and be forced to escape quickly.

As expected, there’s not much to see in the desert.

I can see only sand.

Everywhere I look, it’s just sand, sand, sand.

There are only hills made of sand.

It is both beautiful and scary.

Looking up, the sun is blazing so severely.
