Bear-san Is Troubled About What To Do With The Bears

The bee tree had a beehive around the base of the trunk. I removed my Bear Hand and stuck a finger inside, which caused the honey to flow. I ate the honey on my finger, and it was sweet and delicious. When I looked up, I saw countless beehives within the tree branch and was a bit terrified, but the bees continued to just fly around, seemingly uninterested in attacking.

While I was collecting honey, the two cubs came out of the forest on their little legs and approached us. I thought they were going to walk to their parents while avoiding the dead orcs, but they ignored their parents and continued forward, arrived at the bee tree, and started eating the honey.

Cubs… If you do that, your parents will feel sad! They were really adorable when they were eating honey, though.

After I had collected plenty of honey in my pot, I placed it inside the Bear Box and said goodbye to the bears.

"Thanks a lot. Still, you have those children, so you shouldn’t do such dangerous things."

They wouldn’t understand my words, but I still wanted to convey my feelings. The parent bears responded with a “Ku~n”.

Did they understand me?

The cubs stopped eating. Were they full? When their parents saw that, they let out a small cry and started to move. It seemed that they were planning on returning to forest. Their cubs followed them.

After I said goodbye to the bears, I collected the orc corpses. I also didn’t forget to clean out the goblins that had fled before I left the forest.

I was about to return to the town, but I was troubled over what to report.

I didn’t kill the Bear Family in this request. The request was just to kill the orcs and goblins. The bears weren’t included in the request. Still, I should report the bears, just in case.

I was hesitating on how to do it, though.

I would be troubled if they posted a request to kill them when I reported it.

Hmm, was there no other way besides moving the bears to a place where no people went to?

I left the forest while thinking of a solution, but sadly, I arrived at the town without finding an answer. The sun was already setting when I arrived.

I entered the town, and as I walked towards the Adventurer’s Guild, I saw Helen-san waving and coming towards me.

"Yuna-san, welcome back. Have you already finished the request?"

"I finished it, but… What are you doing, Helen-san?"

"I finished my job as well, so I’m going home now. So, you’re looking really depressed. Did something happen?"

"I killed the orcs and goblins, but there’s indeed one troublesome thing that had happened."

"So, something did happen? If you have any troubles, I will hear you out. I don’t know how much I can help, but do tell in case I can do something. I have been in your care after all, Yuna-san."

I didn’t know if telling Helen-san, an employee of the guild, was a good thing, but I didn’t find a solution, so I decided to tell her everything.

"Bears, you say?"

"I don’t want to kill them, you see. They didn’t do anything bad either."

"There’s no helping that. To Yuna-san, killing bears must be like killing yourself, right?"

It wasn’t something so exaggerated.

"Still, bears in the forest, you say? If I remember correctly, Rem-san, who gathers the honey, spoke of bears some days ago, as well. Do you think they are the same bears?"
