Bear-san Explores The Inside Of The Building
“Even so, she was a noisy little girl, wasn’t she?” (Kagali)
Kagali-san leaked such an impression while looking at the backs of the two leaving.
I feel sympathy for Kagali-san, who looks like a little girl when that girl Mia called me a little girl, so I agree with Kagali-san.
I don’t know if there is a concept of tsundere in this world, but Mia looked like a tsundere. “I’m not worried about you guys,” but it’s actually a different concept in her mind.
“But she cared about us. I think she’s a kind person.” (Fina)
I also agree with what Fina said.
I believe the other girl, Carol, was just as worried about us.
But it was also the fact that they were just curious about Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, and me, who was dressed as a bear, and that one particular curiosity bothered me.
“So, what do we do now?” (Yuna)
“That’s already been decided. Find the treasure before those girls do.” (Kagali)
Well, I don’t hate treasure hunts, either.
There should be only a few gamers who know about the treasure and ignored the idea of obtaining it.
I have fought many monsters to get rare items. As a former gamer, I can’t help but react to treasures.
“Yuna-oneesan. Are we going treasure hunting?” (Fina)
“That’s the plan.” (Yuna)
“What, you don’t like it, Fina?” (Kagali)
“Well, I think it’s interesting, but the people just now are also looking for it. So finding it before those people…” (Fina)
“Fufu, Fina, you’re so sweet. But you see, treasure hunting is a first-come, first-served market. When I thought we were going to participate, they’re our rivals.” (Kagali)
“But it would feel bad for them if we took the treasure home……” (Fina)
“You are very kind. Well, I’m not in need of money, so if it’s something we don’t need, we’ll just give it to them. The real thrill is in the process of finding the treasure.” (Kagali)
I don’t need money either. And if I want to make money, I have so many ways to make money without selling the treasure. I can use the bear gate, the bear item bag, and the knowledge of my former world at my disposal.
But I won’t do that because it’s too much trouble.
So just like Kagali san, I have no problem with the idea of giving away the treasure.
Besides, the treasure is a magical tool. I have the bear gate that can go to faraway places, the bearphone that allows me to talk to people far away, and my bear item bag that can hold many items, so there are no magical tools that I want.
Oh, but I might want a magical tool that can make me fly or one that can clean myself instantaneously without using water.
At any rate, Fina has agreed with our words that we will hand it over, so our purpose has changed from exploring the ruins to treasure hunting.
“Now then, let’s go~~” (Kagali)
“Yes!” (Fina)
“”Kuu~n“”
We set out on our little treasure hunt. We head for the large building before us, just as we had initially intended.
That’s where Mia and Carol are headed. If there’s any treasure to be found, it’s in the biggest building.
“Even so, is there a town nearby?” (Kagali)
“I wanted to know about that, but if someone asked me where we came from, I wouldn’t be able to answer.” (Yuna)
If you can’t answer the same question after hearing what the other person has to say, it’s not an exchange of information, and not answering the question is suspicious. Furthermore, all three of us are wearing different clothes, there are also Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, and the composition of our group, Kagali-san (a young girl), Fina (a girl), and myself (an adult), is incomprehensible. It’s nothing short of being completely suspicious from the first impression.
“You didn’t see any from up there, did you?” (Yuna)
“The only thing I could see that looked like a building was this. Maybe I could have seen it if I went higher. Well, let’s put aside for the moment where they came from, and let’s talk about this place. I think this is a town called Hele~ or something like that.” (Kagali)
“I think it’s Hela~ something, what was it again?” (Yuna)
“No, it’s Heschlag.” (Fina
Unlike me and Kagali-san, who vaguely remembered this town’s name, Fina remembered it properly.
Fina has a good memory of remembering side notes after hearing them just once.
“Yes, that’s right. That’s what it was called. If I remember correctly, it was said to be a town made by magic tool technicians. If so, the treasure is magic tools, but what kind of things do you think are there?” (Kagali)
“Like, something that will do the cleaning for you?” (Yuna)
I tried talking about the magical tool I was thinking about earlier.
“Hoho~u, that’s a good one. In that case, it might be nice to have one that will cook for you.” (Kagali)
“Both of you are too lazy! Do your own cleaning and cooking!” (Fina)
“Ugh, sorry.” (Yuna)
“I just said my wish though.” (Kagali)
We, adults, got scolded by a girl barely turning 11.
“Then what kind of magic tool do you want, Fina?” (Kagali)
“Me?” (Fina)
When she suddenly got asked, Fina started thinking.
“Well, Yuna-oneesan can take me to distant places, and there are tools that you can use to talk to Yuna-oneesan from somewhere far away.” (Fina)
“Let me tell you, none of the magic tools that Yuna has are ordinary. If you have something like that, you can really become rich.” (Kagali)
“As expected, that’s right.” (Fina)
“Of course. To put it bluntly, even if I ask Yuna where she got it, she doesn’t have any intention to answer it, right?” (Kagali)
“Yeah, it’s a secret.” (Yuna)
“That’s why you shouldn’t use the magic tools she has as a standard. There’s no way you would find anything like that.” (Kagali)
I know it sounds harsh, but there’s a world of difference between what the gods made and what ordinary people can make. This is something that can’t be helped.
We came to the target building while discussing what kind of magic tool we wanted.
There used to be a wall surrounding the building, but it had already collapsed. We climbed over the crumbled wall and went inside.
“Huge.” (Fina)
The building is enormous, and you can barely see something like a tower. But it’s also half-destroyed.
“Where should we start looking?” (Yuna)
“Either go after those girls or go somewhere else.” (Kagali)
Mia and Carol must be here somewhere.
“So we either follow them and steal the treasure like hyenas, or look elsewhere.” (Yuna)
“Well, it would be troublesome to get tangled up with that noisy girl again, so it would be better to go somewhere else.” (Kagali)
“But we don’t know where they went, do we?” (Fina)
Fina looks around restlessly.
Just by looking around, we can’t tell which way Mia and Carol went.
“These bears will know where those girls are.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san touched Hugging Bear’s body.
Even without me using my detection skills, I’d know since Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear will make a “kuu~n” cry, or they’ll point their paw in a particular direction.
“Then, Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, go in the direction where those girls didn’t go.” (Yuna)
“”Kuu~n””
After Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear replied, they started walking.
Mia and Carol’s reactions were on the left path, so we went through the passage on the right.
“The inside isn’t as collapsed as I thought.” (Kagali)
Certainly, unlike the outside, the inside retains its original form somewhat.
The ceiling is high and doesn’t look like it’ll collapse.
“It’s quiet when there’s no one around.” (Yuna)
I’ve never explored ruins in my former world, but it’s quiet.
There are rooms here and there, but I can’t see anything that stands out.
Broken tables and chairs, shelves, broken pots.
“There’s nothing.” (Yuna)
It may have already been found by someone else.
In the game, each player gets one, but in reality, we are all competing for one thing. If someone gets the treasure before us, there will be no treasure there.
“There’s a staircase.” (Fina)
Fina points forward.
“It won’t collapse, will it?” (Yuna)
“It’ll probably be fine.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san floats up and then touches the walls and pillars to confirm.
“It’s magically enhanced.” (Kagali)
“Is that so?” (Yuna)
“Well, I can’t say that it absolutely won’t break just by looking at it, but if you’re careful, it should be fine. Unless, of course, the bears are the ones walking on it.” (Kagali)
“”Kuu~n“”
“Just kidding, don’t be so mad.” (Kagali)
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear was like, “We’re not that heavy,” Kagali-san seemed to sense the same thing.
Well, they’re bears, and big ones at that, so they’re heavy enough. Saying such a thing could make Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear sulk, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut.
I believe Kagali-san’s words and go up the stairs.
“The third floor is probably the same.” (Yuna)
“This might have been the right direction for those noisy girls to head.” (Kagali)
“Well, they seem to know more than us, so it can’t be helped. Besides, if we’re going to find treasure, I’d rather find it ourselves instead of stealing it.” (Yuna)
We then went up to the third floor and searched for about an hour but found nothing that looked like treasure.
I also found a book, but it was out in the open for a long time, so there was nothing left that I could read.
It’s hard to find things in good condition unless it’s in a closed room, like at the pyramid.
“It’s boring when you end up finding nothing.” (Kagali)
“I agree.” (Yuna)
“I feel as if I have wandered into a strange world, and I am anxious and lonely. I wonder why there’s no one left.” (Fina)
“Fina, you have a rich imagination.” (Kagali)
“Once you get older like me or Kagali-san, your sensitivity will dull.” (Yuna)
“Yuna-oneesan, you’re still young.” (Fina)
“Aren’t you also going to say that I am young?” (Kagali)
“Etto, Kagali-san. They said you’ve been alive for hundreds of years.” (Fina)
“That’s right, but I look younger than you.” (Kagali)
“That means you’re old at heart.” (Yuna)
Fina laughs at my words.

Author’s Note:
So Yuna and her friends are going to search for the treasure.
If you guessed it right, I may get depressed, so I would appreciate it if you didn’t write your prediction of the treasure in the comments section.
※ As always, thanks to everyone who has reported typos. Since I am unable to reply, I’ll leave this here.
