Bear-san Goes And Digs Up Bamboo Shoots

There was a very gentle knock on the door, as if the person knocking was hesitating.

I woke up and opened my eyes. I opened the window even though the sun had not risen yet.

I wasn’t sleepy since I went to sleep early yesterday.

The door slowly opened, and a certain someone entered the room.

"Big Sis Yuna, are you awake?"

Fina called out to me softly.

"Good morning, Fina."

"Good morning."

"What about Shuri?"

"She’s awake, since we slept early."

Oh right, she normally woke up early with Tirumina-san to help her at the orphanage; the one who had trouble waking up early was me.

I asked Fina to leave first and followed her after I changed to the Black Bear Suit.

"Sorry for making you wait."

The two were already ready to head out.

It was still dark when we left the Bear House.

"Are you two cold?"

"I’m okay."

"I’m okay too."

They had coats on, so it should be okay?

When I was wearing the Bear Clothes, I couldn’t really tell what the temperature was like.

"Tell me if you’re cold, okay?"

They nodded.

When we arrived at the city, Deiga-san was already waiting for us, holding a big hoe in his hand.

"Good morning, Deiga-san."

After I greeted him, Fina and Shuri did the same.

"Well then, shall we head out?"

Deiga-san put the hoe on his shoulder and started walking.

The four of us headed towards the place where the bamboos were.

"Is the inn okay?"

"Yeah, I have been making preparations since last night, after all. The only thing that remains is the cooking, and Anzu should be able to do that on her own. If she can’t, I won’t let her to go to your place, Missy, and will make her re-do her training."

I prayed that Anzu could do it on her own.

We arrived at the bamboo thicket soon after. There were a lot of splendid bamboos.

"Can you really eat something like this?"

Deiga-san knocked on the hard bamboo.

"You can eat the ones that haven’t come out of the ground yet."

I looked around for places where the earth was bulging out. Was it here? I dug up the ground using earth magic. I uncovered a big bamboo shoot. It seemed that I had picked the right spot. I skillfully harvested the bamboo shoot.

"So, that’s a bamboo shoot?"

Deiga-san took the bamboo shoot and examined it.

"If you peel it and remove the poison, you can eat it."

"Yosh, I understand. I just have to dig them up, right?"

Deiga-san went further inside the bamboo thicket with his hoe.
