Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Chapter 459 - Bear-san, Protects The Seal

Chapter 459

Bear-san, Protects The Seal

As we were running towards the place where the seal was, Kagali-san, riding on Swaying Bear, looked up and shouted.

“Is that a wyvern?!” (Kagali)

A wyvern was circling in the sky as if looking for something.

“It’s not just that one.” (Yuna)

I’m getting ten reactions just barely within the detection skill range.

“Wait, what’s that little black bird-like creature?” (Shin.o.bu)

“That’s a Volgla.s.s!” (Kagali)

It looks like a black crow-like avian flying in the distance to the naked eye, but Kagali-san’s eyes seem to be able to recognize the Volgla.s.s. Is it because foxes have good eyesight? Or is it because she is Kagali-san?

“There’s too many of them.” (Kagali)

Wherever they came from, swarms of Volgla.s.s are gathering on the island. My detection skills are getting several times more responses than the wyverns.

“It looks like they’re fighting against the wyverns.” (Yuna)

In the sky, wyverns and Volgla.s.s seem to be domineering each other as if in a turf war. The wyverns and Volgla.s.s are fighting and moving to the place where the serpent was sealed

`Ku~u ~ n’

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear stopped.

“What are the bears saying?” (Kagali)

“The monsters are gathering at the locations of each seal, so which way do we go first?” (Yuna)

“All 5 places!?” (Kagali)

“I don’t know why, but it seems only where the heads are sealed.” (Yuna)

I checked with my detection skills again, but they weren’t gathering around where the body was sealed.

“Is it perhaps because of food?” (Shin.o.bu)

That’s what I thought too.

“Even if it’s food, it can’t eat if it’s sealed.” (Kagali)

“Perhaps the seal may be about to be broken.” (Yuna)

“Didn’t we still have a few more days?” (Kagali)

It was close to when the seal would be broken, but when I came, somehow the unsealing was accelerated.

It’s not my fault, is it?

But the words that came out of Kagali-san’s mouth were different.

“Maybe it’s Mumroot’s fault. I had a feeling the serpent’s eyes were fixated on Mumroot when he checked the seal.” (Kagali)

Those creepy eyes. Thinking back, I’m pretty sure it was reacting to Mumroot-san.

“It’s possible that the serpent reacted to his magic. The same magic that sealed it away for so many years has come. Maybe it’s angry inside the seal. The seal weakened further, and it summoned the monsters.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san said one of the possibilities of why the monsters have come to the island.

“So, you’re saying if Mumroot-san hadn’t come, the monsters wouldn’t have come either?” (Yuna)

“I don’t know, but sooner or later, the seal was supposed to be broken. It just happened a bit earlier.” (Kagali)

“That’s the easy answer, but we’re not preparing for anything like this.” (Yuna)

“If Mumroot hadn’t come here, there wouldn’t have been any talk of strengthening the seal. It doesn’t matter either way. In any case, all we have to do is defeat the monsters that come, protect the seal, and hold on until Mumroot comes back to strengthen the seal.” (Kagali)

To put it simply, it’s exactly what Kagali-san says.

Without Mumroot-san, we wouldn’t be talking about strengthening the seal and we would have just waited for the seal to break with no plan whatsoever.

But thanks to Mumroot-san, we can now temporarily strengthen the seal.

There were some disadvantages, but overall, the advantages were more significant.

However, to do so, we here alone must defeat the gathering wyverns and Volgla.s.s and protect the seal.

“But four places, it would be troublesome. There are only three of us.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san looked at me and Shin.o.bu.

She doesn’t even know what I’m capable of, but I’m one of the best in the world.

Did she believe what Sakura and Mumroot-san said?

“Perhaps we’ll fight Wyvern and Volgla.s.s by ourselves?” (Yuna)

Shin.o.bu gave a troubled look.

“If we do not fight, the seal will be broken and the serpent will return.” (Kagali)

“Yes, but what are we going to do with four locations? Even if each of us protects one, what about the fourth one?” (Shin.o.bu)

“That’s why we’re in a pinch. But there is no time to think about it. Those of us who have finished in our area will have to rush into the last one.” (Kagali)

“Ku~u ~ n”

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear squealed at Shin.o.bu and Kagali-san’s words.

“What?” (Kagali)

“They said they’re also here.” (Yuna)

If we consider Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear as one fighting force, we can protect four locations simultaneously. The monsters were Volgla.s.s and Wyverns. Swaying Bear had fought them before. It’s not an opponent they can’t beat.

I’m anxious to leave Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, but I have to stop the giant snake from coming back for now.

“The two on the right will be taken by me, Swaying Bear, and Hugging Bear.” (Yuna)

If they’re nearby, I can run over to them right away.

“You’re letting the bears fight?” (Kagali)

“If it’s just a normal monster, there’s no problem.” (Yuna)

“Normal monsters? Those are wyverns, you know.” (Shin.o.bu)

“They’ve fought wyverns in the past, so they’ll be fine. And I’ll back them up as soon as I’m done with mine.” (Yuna)

I have to defeat those monsters quickly and join Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“Well, if these bears can fight, we’ll just have to leave it to them. We don’t have time to come up with something else.” (Kagali)

“That’s right. No matter how hard we think about it, the number of people won’t increase. Now we should defeat the monsters as soon as possible. Then, I’ll go to the leftmost side.” (Shin.o.bu)

Shin.o.bu jumped off Hugging Bear and ran very fast.

She looks like a ninja.

“Then, I’ll take the second from the left. Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear. If I get rid of those things sooner, I’ll rush to your side, so don’t overdo it.” (Kagali)

Kagali-san called out to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear then started running.

Her tail wagged from under the clothes on her back.

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear. Those are Volgla.s.s and Wyvern, but be careful of the poison in the Volgla.s.s’ beak and the Wyvern’s sharp claws. The wyvern’s claws are also sharp, so the two of you must work together to fight them.” (Yuna)

“Ku~u ~ n”

“Well then…….” (Yuna)

As I worried about them, the ribbons on the necks of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear started to glow.

Bearmonites?

They both seem to be saying, “We have bearmonites, so we’ll be fine”.

“I know you’re getting stronger, but you still have to be careful.” (Yuna)

“Ku~u ~ n”

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear squeal like they want to tell me they know what they’re doing.

It’s the way parents worry about their children.

“I’ll be there as soon as I’m done with my side.” (Yuna)

“Ku~u ~ n”

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear replied and ran off together.

Finally, I, the last one on the team, also head to the place of the seal I’m in charge of.

I told Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear that I would rush to them as soon as I could, but my location had the largest concentration of monsters. I could’ve chosen the place with the least number of monsters by using my detection skills, but I didn’t know the full extent of the abilities of Shin.o.bu and Kagali-san, so I couldn’t push it to them. That’s why I took it for myself.

=====

When I came to the seal location, I saw Volgla.s.s and Wyverns flying around, swarming the building.

Even though I chose it myself, it’s still a bad pick.

When I appeared, the Volgla.s.s opened their characteristic red beaks and began to shriek.

Dozens of Volgla.s.s shrieked in unison, it’s so d.a.m.n noisy.

I made a blade of wind fly to silence them.

That was the signal for the battle to begin.

The Volgla.s.s recognized me as an enemy and attacked me. Even the wyverns joined in. There were four wyverns. My side has the most wyverns than the others, counting in the Volgla.s.s as well.

But two of the wyverns were just flying overhead, so they could probably go elsewhere.

I really want to attract them all to me, but I hope the wyverns in the sky won’t go anywhere.

I made sure that the Volgla.s.s and wyverns near the ground did not get too close to the building, so I used my wind blade to kill them.

It’s a bit of a messy fight because I have to avoid hitting the building.

If something happened to the building and the seal broke, it would be a big problem.

I slew the Volgla.s.s while being careful of the building containing the seal. Occasionally, I would attack a nearby wyvern, drawing it to me.

However, neither Volgla.s.s nor Wyvern wanted to leave the building as I expected.

Even if I pull them away from the building, the other Volgla.s.s and Wyverns will start a turf war for the building.

If I didn’t have to worry about the building, I’d wipe them out with wide-area magic.

As I summoned the wind blade to deal with the Volgla.s.s gathering around the building, a wyvern flapped its wings behind the Volgla.s.s and blew the wind blade.

Both Volgla.s.s and wyvern attacked me.

I put up a wall of earth to block it. At the other side of the wall, where I couldn’t see, I heard the sound of a wyvern’s attack causing a Volgla.s.s to fall to the ground. I grabbed my Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear knives and jumped out from this side of the wall.

The wyvern came out and fired wind blades at me. I swung my body from side to side to dodge the wind blades. The wind blades left marks on the ground.

I closed the gap with the wyvern in one fell swoop and slashed it with my Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear knives.

That’s one.

Just when I thought that another Volgla.s.s and a wyvern fought near the building, the wyvern’s attack hit the building, destroying a part of it.

“Wha-.” (Yuna)

I quickly fired an air bullet to dislodge the wyvern from the building, but another wyvern took out the Volgla.s.s and stood on the roof of the building.

It shrieked loudly as if to say that this place belongs to it.

I don’t want to wreck the building any more than that since I don’t know what effect the seal will have. However, I want to defeat the monsters and get to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear as soon as possible.

Author’s Note:

Can everyone keep the seal of the serpent? (Please refrain from making predictions in the comment section (dry laugh)) (TN: That’s the author, not me. I actually want to know your predictions.)

※ It is only two weeks before the book is released and comicalized. I’m looking forward to comicalize.
