Bear-san, Heads To The Island Of Reenes
“I’ll arrange for a ship, then.” (Shinobu)
We had to go to the island by boat.
But Sakura seems to want to say something.
“Anou, Yuna-sama. May I ask you something?” (Sakura)
“What is it?” (Yuna)
“I heard that Yuna-sama came to this country by crossing the sea on Swaying Bear-sama and Hugging Bear-sama, is that true?” (Sakura)
“It’s true.” (Yuna)
Shinobu saw me and nodded since there was no point in fooling her if she had already reported it to Sakura.
“Well, if it’s possible, then…….” (Sakura)
It was a small voice that seemed about to disappear.
“Do you want a ride, perhaps?” (Yuna)
The look on Sakura’s face, it’s quite a complicated expression.
She wants to ride, but she also feels like she shouldn’t be selfish.
“Etto, anou, that, umm.” (Sakura)
Sakura looked down and reluctantly gave a small nod.
“When I heard about it, I thought it was a dream come true to run on the sea. I mean, if it’s not too much trouble.” (Sakura)
I glanced at Hugging Bear.
“I don’t mind. But I can’t give you a ride in public. I don’t want people to be surprised if a bear shows up, and I don’t want them to see us running on the ocean.” (Yuna)
“Then there’s a good place for that. I just happen to know of a place where we can go out to sea without being seen.” (Shinobu)
Shinobu said there’s a place where Sakura can ride Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, and no one will ever notice.
“Thank you, Shinobu.” (Sakura)
“No problem. I want to ride it too after all.” (Shinobu)
It seems that was her aim all along.
Are you sure It’s a good idea when you have your summoned horse, Hayatemaru with you?
Anyways, we decided to ride Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to the island of Reenes.
“Come to think of it, does everyone know about Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear?” (Yuna)
I asked. I was curious to know how far Sinobu had reported.
“The only people I’ve reported to are the King and Sakura-sama. If the King and Sakura-sama hadn’t told anyone, then only the two of them would have known.” (Shinobu)
“I haven’t told anyone.” (Sakura)
“What about the ones monitoring us other than Shinobu?” (Yuna)
“No, they didn’t. No one would wait for someone whom they’re not sure when they will come from the sea. Only when you were fighting my master did they watch. I guarantee that.” (Shinobu)
“Well then, in the meantime, can you tell the king to keep his mouth shut?” (Yuna)
I don’t know how far this request will be fulfilled, but I’ll still ask.
“But I didn’t expect Sakura to go with us to the island.” (Yuna)
I thought that Shinobu was going to show me around.
“If I don’t go, Kagali-sama won’t listen to Yuna-sama’s words. Besides, Yuna-sama’s outfit is, well, it’s like a bear.” (Sakura)
Sakura said with some difficulty.
It is true that if I, dressed as a bear, were to say, “I am the light of hope that Sakura was talking about,” people would not trust me. If Sakura herself says it, however, there’s a good chance they’ll trust her. In the first place, I’m too embarrassed to call myself the light of hope for the people.
“And Kagali-sama is someone who has her likes and dislikes clearly defined. It is said that that is why she created a barrier that prohibits men from entering and leaving.” (Sakura)
“I thought it was because the monsters release miasma.” (Yuna)
“That’s also true. But the majority of the crew in the ship were men, so most of the thieves were also men.” (Sakura)
“What does the barrier like, anyway? Will they die if they go in?” (Yuna)
“It’s not that scary. It’s more like sapping physical strength. Your body will get lazy and you won’t be able to move.” (Sakura)
I asked, and that’s what Sakura answered.
Such barriers exist. If they were to go to war, they would be invincible if they made them as a defensive formation.
“So that means you can approach the island by boat, but you can’t land on it. If you do, then don’t steal anything, so you won’t die.” (Shinobu)
It’s a safe and secure setting.
Then, after the talk was over, we ate dinner, and the time came to go to bed.
“Are you sure?” (Sakura)
