Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

Today is the day the anime is aired, so Fina and Noah are coming to the house as a matter of course.

They have eaten dinner and bathed, and are ready to watch the anime.

Yuna-san, we're going to do a total of 12 episodes, right?

That's right.

So that's four more to go, including today. I'm a little disappointed. I know you think so too, don't you, Fina?

'Yes. It's a shame, because at first I was embarrassed, but then I started to enjoy watching it.

It's set to be 12 episodes in all, so there's no way around it. It's going to come to an end at some point.

But with God's help, I might be able to do it every week like a national cartoon.

That's why I might not want to have me on the air every week.

'Look, it's about to start,'

Since it's a weekly sleepover, we each sit in front of the TV with a snack and a drink.

Shortly after, the animation starts.

It starts with a scene of His Majesty the King's birthday party, followed by a pudding-eating scene, which gets a little exciting.

After all this time, King, you're overreacting to the pudding, aren't you?　I want to say.

Then the opening is played, and a pitch-black screen is played for what seems to be the commercial part of the time.

It's always pitch black, but that's what commercials are for, right?

Yes. Maybe it's a promotion for another cartoon, opening or ending.

"Other cartoons?

It could be about someone who has been to another world, or it could be about someone who has been reborn, or it could be about a world where the world is under threat, or it could be about an idol?　It could be a story of a singer's growth, a story of a coffee shop, and many more.

"There are so many cartoons?

There must have been more than a hundred of them in a year.

I only watched my favorite anime, so I don't know the details, but it must have been that much.

I'd like to watch some other anime, Yuna-san. Wouldn't you like to watch Fina too?

Well, yes. I'd like to see it.

No, you can't, because this TV only allows you to watch our cartoons, you can't watch any other cartoons.

I checked a lot of things, but it was a useless TV that can only be used to watch the Bear Bear Bear cartoons and the official website.

I'm sorry. That's a shame.

If I could watch other anime as well, I'd be confident that I'd be able to retreat to another world. Also, if possible, if I had a gaming console and software, or even a download function, I would have the best reclusive life possible.

While I'm immersed in this fantasy, the main story begins.

It's all about swordsmanship with His Majesty the King, Princess Flora, and Shea, who come to the Kuma House, as well as the fun days in King's Landing.

Then, after not being able to be together for a while, Fina and I will return to Crimonia after visiting the royal capital.

'I envy you two for going out together. What was I doing at this time?

Noah complains when he sees me and Fina going out together.

Only Noah, who is on TV, would understand such a thing.

It's a nobleman's way of saying hello, isn't it?　And Cliff is here, too.

"Ugh, you could have. Or maybe I would have gone to Mass's house.

Aristocrats are hard.

I'm glad to be a commoner.

In the anime, Fina and I are walking around the capital, eating food, playing with each other, laying down together, and looking happy.

Yuna and Fina are good friends.

Noah says enviously.

Indeed, they are so close that it's embarrassing to watch.

'Well, we're not bad friends,'

"Yes.

Fina and I headed to the bakery for some bread that we had eaten before.

It's Morin's and Karin's store.

I had glimpsed it once before.

But the store was closed.

Inside the store, Morin-san and Karin-san were cleaning up the store.

When I asked them about it, they said they had been tricked by an unscrupulous merchant into giving up the store.

In case you're wondering, that's the same as the reality there, but the men didn't run amok in the store.

It's a shame, because when I think back to that moment, I want to punch them again.

I guess it's a matter of scale in this area.

If the villainous merchants appear, it would mean that His Majesty the King would appear in Sonya, and I'm not sure what his relationship with Sonya in the anime would be.

If you revise a story for the sake of scale, you have to make sure that the subsequent developments are consistent.

If you put that story in, you can't put this story in.

That's why it is easier to make a novel that doesn't have to worry too much about the length of the story.

In the anime, I headhunted Morin and Karin in the same way as in real life.

If it weren't for this headhunting, there wouldn't be a Bear's Resting Place today, would there?

Good job me.

Praise yourself for your actions at this time.

The animation begins its second half with a black commercial.

After returning to Crimonia, I'm discussing the store with Milene from the commercial guild.

It's a good thing that I'm not the only one.

But I don't think she knows why she was invited.

You can see how I felt at this point.

I was ready to leave it to Ms. Tirumina to manage.

But I'm grateful to Tillmina for doing it, even though she complains about it.

I'll give Ms. Tyrmina a hard time.

"Mom, my sister Yuna is always pushing me around, but she says she's happy to work every day because she's been in bed all these years.

Wielding is not that much wielding, right?

But I also understand what Fina is saying. People can get better by working and being involved with various people.

I think it depends on the company and the people around you. Since I came to this world, I've been blessed by the people around me. You will be able to find out more about them in your own world.

I've been enjoying every day since I met your sister Yuna.

Thank you.

I pat Fina's head with a genuine smile and say, "Wow, me too.

"Wow, me too. It's so good to see you, Yuna!

Noah comes between Fina and me.

"And Noah, thank you.

I'm more than happy to hear that you don't enjoy my company.

If I were to stay indoors, I would never be told that.

Then I show Morin and Karin, who have come to Crimonia, to the small mansion of a former nobleman who plans to turn it into a store.

They are surprised to see the store.

Normally, if someone tells you that a building this big is a store, you'd be surprised.

Even though it is a small mansion of a nobleman, it is big enough for a store.

Besides, they say that bigger is better than smaller, and the store is bigger.

Besides, someday the children in the orphanage might leave the orphanage when they become adults. I wish I had a job at that time.

I could learn baking from Morin and become a baker, or I could learn from the customer service and work with people.

I hope that my experience working here will help me in the future.

Then, everyone in the orphanage cleans up the store and cuts the grass in the garden to prepare for the opening of the store.

It was actually a lot of work, but the animation is about a minute's worth of footage of the store being built.

In the midst of all this, Milene asked me what the name of the store should be.

But I have no name sense.

It's just "Kumayuru" and "Kumakyu".

The anime version of me says the same thing.

I think Kumayuru and Kumakyu-chan are very cute names, but...

"I think it's cute too,

Thank you.

It's nice to hear you say that.

I also think Kumaruru and Kumakyu are cute names, but they're not very cool.

It's not a very cool name for a bear, either.

In the anime, I ask everyone in the orphanage to name the store.

But, as in reality, all they could come up with was "bear".

Ugh, I wanted to participate in coming up with a name for the store. Why do you want to exclude me?

I didn't mean to be an outcast.

In reality, where was Noah at this time?

So what would Noah have named it?

Yes. 'The store that loves bears' or 'The Bear Bear Bear Store'?

I don't know how the otherworldly translation is going to work out, but there will be four bears after all.

But after all, Noah will have a bear too, won't he?

At the words of these kids, Milene says that she made a uniform for the store.

Yeah, I knew that.

And, as expected, what she took out was the bear's clothes.

I think Fina's maids and such would be cute, but I'm a little disappointed.

It's a good idea to have Sherry make an outfit for Fina's maids next time and have her wear it.

And I named it "The Bear's Resting Place" because I wanted it to be a place for everyone to relax.

I named it ...... but it didn't turn out to be a resting place because a lot of people came to the store on the day of its opening, thanks to some people's unnecessary advertising.

But thanks to the help of many people, we were able to end the day without a hitch. Just then, Cliff and Noah came into the store.

'Finally, I'm out.

It's been a long time since the appearance of Noah.

When Noah saw the bears' uniforms that Fina and her friends were wearing, he wanted to wear them, too.

It's not fair, I'm an anime guy!　I wore the bear's uniform to Mass's birthday party.

Noah complains to his animated self.

It's better to be early than late.

Besides, there are only three episodes left, and the story doesn't take place until Misa's birthday party, so I should be glad I got to wear it.

When the anime Noah is happy to wear the bear's uniform, I get a report from Cliff about Morin's store.

In real life, I received the report in the royal capital, but in the anime, the timing is right.

And just like in real life, Morin-san and Karin-san will remain in Crimonia's store, even though they can return to the store in King's Landing.

I really can't thank them enough.

And the anime ends on a good note, reflecting on their memories of coming to the other world.

It's already over. I didn't have much to do. I'd like to see more of me in the show.

Noah really likes himself, doesn't he?

I'm so jealous.

I hope there will be more of me next time.

If I remember, the next time I'll be going to the beach.

Inevitably, Noah will not appear.

It's too much trouble for you to complain to me, so I'm not going to talk about it for now.

A few days later, I'll go to the official anime website as usual to check it out.

It said the title of the next episode, "Bear, Going to the Sea".

There's also a scene of a snowy mountain and Atra-san. I think it will be a Kraken story.

As expected, there will be no Noah's turn. I'm glad I didn't tell you.

But sooner or later, when the day comes, I'm sure they'll complain about it.

If you check elsewhere, there's a mini-animation where Noah and Shuri are playing catch with each other. I wondered if Noah would be convinced if I showed it to him, but I felt that Noah's expression and words as he caught Shuri's ball should not be shown to him.
