Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

Chapter 626

Bear-san Fights the Tiger Wolf

The gatekeeper looked at me suspiciously as I departed from the Royal Capital, but I didn’t care. I left the Royal Capital and summoned Swaying Bear a short distance away.

“Well then, Swaying Bear, please.”

“Kuh~n.”

I straddled Swaying Bear, and Swaying Bear started to run.

Fina and Tirumina-san might get worried if I was even slightly late, so I decided to defeat the Tiger Wolf pack quickly so that I could go home as soon as possible.

“Swaying Bear, let’s hurry up.”

“Kuh~n.”

Swaying Bear accelerated at my words.

Thanks in part to the fact that I took turns running with Hugging Bear and Swaying Bear along the way, I arrived in the village the man had told me about in no time.

“This must be it.”

I got off Hugging Bear.

I didn’t want the villagers to mistake Bears for the Tiger Wolf and be alarmed, so I unsummoned them.

I entered the village, looking around for any signs.

Some of the fences were broken, and the village was quiet.

I have an omnious feeling.

I used my detection skill to check.

There were signs of people.

“Thank God.”

I pat my chest in relief.

It seemed that they were hiding inside the house.

And there was no sign of the Tiger Wolf or any other monsters in my detection skill so far.

“Well then, I wonder what’s going on.”

I could go and take down the Tiger Wolf, but should I talk to the people in the village first?

They might know where the Tiger Wolf is.

No matter how good my detection skills are, I won’t be able to find the Tiger Wolf pack if they are out of my detection range, and I also won’t be able to find them if I go in the wrong direction either.

While wondering what to do, I heard a “squeak” sound.

I looked towards the sound and saw a window slightly open and a person looking at me.

“Are you a person?”

It was the first time someone asked me if I was a person.

Did I look like a ferocious bear?

Well, I know I’m not.

“I’m dressed like this, but I’m a person.”

I took off my hood.

“What? A girl.”

At a distance, with my hood up, how would they know?

“I don’t know what you’ve come to the village for, but I suggest you leave as soon as possible. There is a Tiger Wolf around the village. It showed up again this morning.”

So that’s why they stayed inside their houses.

Even though the Tiger Wolf had left, unlike me, they didn’t have detection skills, so they must have been hiding because they suspected that the Tiger Wolf might still be nearby.

“I’m here to take down this Tiger Wolf, can you tell me more about it?”

I asked the frightened man politely.

“A girl like you, a young lady, is hunting down the Tiger Wolf?”

What was the name of the man who came to the Adventurers’ Guild?

“Do you know the man who came to the Adventurers’ Guild in the Royal Capital?”

“Shreid?”

“Yes, Shreid-san.”

I remembered his name was something like that.

The man thought momentarily and then asked me to go inside the house.

Inside the house was a woman who looked like his wife and one boy.

“Are you sure Shreid asked you to do this?”

“To be precise, I accepted the request from Shreid-san, who came to the Adventurers’ Guild in the Royal Capital.”

“So you are an adventurer, then?”

“I certainly am.”

The man looked me up and down and held his head.

“I didn’t expect such a funny looking girl to accept it.”

“You.”

A woman puts her hand on the man’s shoulder as he holds his head.

I understand how they feel, but it was rude.

“I don’t suppose any other adventurers will come to visit us.”

“Nope, only me.”

It was too much trouble, so I lost my composure.

The couple both looked incredulous at my words. And it was like the end of the world.

I knew it, but this reaction was terrible.

“You don’t have to believe me, but give me some information about the Tiger Wolf. Just tell me which direction it came from, or where it lives.”

Once I knew where it was, I could use my detecting skills to find it.

“Tiger Wolf is in the woods straight out of this house.”

“Thanks. I’ll be on my way then.”

“Wait.”

“What?”

I wanted to get this over with and return to the Royal Capital as soon as possible because Fina would be worried if I didn’t finish the job.

“It’s not just the Tiger Wolf. There’s a pack of Wolf with it.”

Was the Tiger Wolf leading them?

“Oh, okay, so you want me to take down the Wolves as well?”

I wondered what he wanted because he looked so serious, but it was just a pack of Wolves.

Should I ask for an additional charge, I wonder?

Well, as long as I get the materials, I wouldn’t need to charge them more.

“It’s a herd. It’s not something you can handle on your own.”

“If you’re worried about additional fees, don’t be. I’ll take the materials in return.”

The man looked at me with an expression that said, “What are you talking about?”

“Oh, and I’ll bring back the Tiger Wolves carcarcases after I kill it.”

I didn’t ask what kind of contract was made with the man who came to the Adventurer’s Guild to put in the request, but Sanya-san asked me to get the Tiger Wolf carcasses for the event, so it should be fine.

“Girl. You’ve got to be kidding.”

The man’s body was trembling.

“I’m not kidding around.”

“Girl. My husband is worried about you.”

The man’s wife was interpreting for him.

She seemed worried that I would be in danger not only because of the Tiger Wolves, but also because there were so many Wolves.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take down both the Tiger Wolf and the Wolf pack in a jiffy.”

I was about to leave the house, wasting no time, when I heard a commotion outside.

“Don’t come here! Somebody, help me!”

“That voice, Dante.”

The man stood up and picked up a spear propped up against the wall.

“Dear!”

His wife grabbed the man’s arm and shook her head.

“I’m sorry. I have to go.”

The man shook her hand off, walked past me, and ran out of the house.

I followed him out of the house.

I used my detection skills.

There were wolves in the village, and also not only one Tiger Wolf.

I could have summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear so that I would have noticed it earlier, but regrets were not an option.

I followed Shreid and found a man with a spear surrounded by Wolves. The man was standing before a broken door, waving his spear to protect his family inside the house.

“Dante!”

Shreid ran towards the Wolf, swinging his spear.

The Wolf dodges the spear and attacks the man. I pierced the Wolf’s body with an ice arrow from the side. After being pierced, the Wolf collapses.

“Mi, missy?”

I dashed past the startled man, and quickly knocked the wolves down with an ice arrow, as well as the wolf who was attacking the man in front of the door, who was trying to protect his family from the Wolf with his spear.

“Dante! Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks for coming to my rescue.”

“What are you talking about? We’ve known each other since we were kids.”

“And who is this little girl?”

The man guarding the house asked, looking at me.

“She seems to be an adventurer from the Royal Capital.”

“An adventurer, huh?”

The man looked at me carefully.

Well, they requested someone to take down the Tiger Wolf, and a girl dressed as a bear like me arrived, so it was only natural that he would react that way.

“Both of you, move to a safe place, and I’ll take care of the wolves.”

“But-“

“Defeating them is my job, you know. Besides, you saw me take down a Wolf, didn’t you?”

“…”

The men looked at the fallen Wolf.

“Okay. Thanks.”

The man bowed his head.

The man who was attacked by Wolf beckoned his family to head outside. He then instructed them to go to Shreid’s house, where I first met him.

“I’m going to summon a bear, but don’t be surprised and point your weapon at it.”

I said and summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“Bear!?”

The men were surprised by the Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear that appeared.

“They are my summons, they are not dangerous, Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, please take care of the wolves in the village.”

“”Kuhn.””

I asked, sending Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear running.

I escorted the men to the house of the man who had just left because I didn’t want the men to be attacked by the Wolf on the way.

“Well then, make sure you lock the door tight and never go outside the house.”

I made sure that the men nodded in acknowledgment and then closed the door before heading to face the Tiger Wolf.

I ran on the roof and made a beeline to where Tiger Wolf was.

I hopped off the roof and landed cleanly right in front of the Tiger Wolf, and that Tiger Wolf growled at me.

“I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to take you down.”

The Tiger Wolf attacked me.

I avoided its charge like a bullfighter, but Tiger Wolf quickly turned itself around and attacked me again.

Too late.

The Tiger Wolf jumped, opened its big mouth, and tried to bite me.

Sanya-san asked me to make it a clean kill.

Conveniently, the Tiger Wolf opened its mouth wide as if asking me to attack inside its body.

I fire an ice arrow into the Tiger Wolf’s mouth.

Just when I thought I had landed a sure killing blow, the Tiger Wolf crushed the ice arrow.

Oh, this was unexpected.

The Tiger Wolf that chewed up the ice arrow attacked me with its wide-open maw. I avoided it.

I felt bad for the villagers, but I had been stressed out from the battle with Slime, so I was having fun in the battle for the first time in a long time.

Contrary to my enjoyment, Tiger Wolf was growling and seemed enraged.

Tiger Wolf opened its mouth and attacked me again.

I avoided it by stepping backward.

“Water Ball”.

I created a water ball and aimed it at Tiger Wolf’s head to choke it to death, but Tiger Wolf dodged the water ball to the left and right.

This Tiger Wolf was strong.

I gave the Tiger Wolf a bear uppercut under the chin as it continued to attack me.

The Tiger Wolf’s body rose into the air and then dropped to the ground, rolling.

I approached it and shoved an Ice Arrow into its mouth, reaching its brain. It was still unconsciously kicking the air but soon stopped.

“Phew.”

It was a little tricky, but I successfully took down the first Tiger Wolf cleanly.
