Chapter 370
370 Fina Deceives Everyone in the Hidden Room (Day 4)
Yuna-oneesan left us and exited the room .
I can’t let my worry show in my facial expression . Yuna-oneesan returned to the island where monsters have gathered together with Swaying Bear-chan . I want to say , but I couldn’t stop her . And when Yuna-oneesan left the room, the door closed slowly . Hugging Bear was looking at the door . I’m sure he may be lonely . Shuri hugs Hugging Bear-chan . Just by hugging Hugging Bear-chan, Shuri is calm .
[Fina-chan, are we really okay here?] Shia
Shia-sama anxiously asked . This place is under Yuna-oneesan’s house in Crimonia . We will never be attacked by monsters . But I can’t tell Shia-sama about that . Yuna-oneesan kept it a secret that this place was in Crimonia .
In the first place, if we go through that bear door, I won’t be able to explain that it’s connected to the bas.e.m.e.nt of Yuna-oneesan’s house in Crimonia . I don’t think they will believe me even if I said it .
[It’s okay, no monster will come to this room . ] Fina
I can affirm that . Because we’re in Crimonia .
That door is connected to various places, so the moment it closes, it will be disconnected from the place where we entered . Therefore, even if the monsters. .h.i.t or break the door outside, the door on this side of the room will not be affected .
So that’s why I said that this room was safe no matter what happens . However, Yuna-oneesan jokingly said, , with a laugh .
But I think it’s safe inside this bas.e.m.e.nt .
Shia-sama gets up from her chair and walks around the room . Then go to the bear door .
The door is a double-door and there are bear fixtures on the left and right sides . If you open this door, you can go to various places . It’s a really mysterious door . Perhaps Yuna-oneesan used this door when she first came to Crimonia . When I asked her before where she came from, she said, . However, it may be different because there was an atmosphere around her saying that she could never return there . But she can easily go back using this door .
Shia-sama touches the bear door and puts her strength opening the door .
[Are? It won’t open . ] Shia
Shia-sama did her best at pushing and pulling the door, but the door doesn’t budge .
[Shia-sama, that door can only be opened by Yuna-oneesan . ] Fina
[Is that so?] Shia
[Yuna-oneesan says that the door can only be opened by her . Therefore, neither monsters nor people can enter . So it’s absolutely safe here . ] Fina
Even if a thief or a scary person comes, this door cannot be opened .
[Then, how about breaking the sidewall . ] Shia
Shia-sama continuously hit the wall next to the door and a sound reverberated inside the room .
[I think it won’t break . ] Fina
[This room is really st.u.r.dy, isn’t it?] Shia
It’s st.u.r.dy since it’s under the house of Yuna-oneesan in Crimonia . I don’t think there is anything beyond that wall . Maybe there is only soil . Therefore, hitting from here will not break it . Somehow lying to Shia-sama is hurting my heart .
[But then, because there are no windows, I don’t know what’s going on outside . Even if it’s safe here, I’ll be a little worried if I don’t know what’s going on outside . ] Shia
There are no windows in this room . Well, it can’t be helped because it’s underground . If there is a window, everything will be revealed .
Shia-sama gave up on opening the door and went back to her chair .
[If anything happens, Hugging Bear-chan will tell us, so it’s okay . ] Fina
[That’s right . Hugging Bear-chan will tell us when a monster approaches . ] Shia
Hugging Bear-chan cried at Shia-sama’s words . Are you saying I’m not Yuna-oneesan, so I don’t know what Hugging Bear-chan is saying .
I’m envious of Yuna-oneesan for understanding the words of Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan . I also want to have a conversation with Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan .
[Even so, Yuna-san’s house is full of bears . The house is also a bear and the door is also a bear . She is dressed as a bear even though she hates being ridiculed . ] Shia
[She like bears so much, so maybe she doesn’t want to be ridiculed for it . ] Fina
[I think that’s rather convincing . But I’ve never seen a bear lover who loves her bears so much . So I’m wondering if that’s the reason she could even get bears as a summoned beast?] Shia
Maybe . I’m not sure .
Her house is a bear, the magic tool that can talk to someone in a distant place is in the shape of a bear, and her carriage is also a bear . I think Yuna-oneesan really loves bears .
Shia-sama seems to have calmed down while we’re having a conversation . And when I look at Shuri, she’s opening the refrigerator a bit far from Hugging Bear-chan .
[Shuri?] Fina
[Oneechan . There are ice cream and cake in here . Can I eat it?] Shuri
Shuri isn’t scared or nervous . That’s good then . In case we ever need to use this room, Yuna-oneesan asked me to calm everyone down . Apparently, I don’t have to worry about that .
[I think it’s okay, but don’t eat too much . ] Fina
[Un!] Shuri
Shuri takes out the ice cream and starts eating it on Hugging Bear-chan’s back . Please don’t spill it .
Shia-sama, who saw Shuri eating ice cream, also took out the cake from the refrigerator .
[Fina-chan, do you want to eat too?] Shia
[Yes, please . ] Fina
I ate the cake prepared by Shia-sama . As always, it’s delicious .
Even though Yuna-oneesan went back alone on the island where the monsters are, is it okay for us to take it easy?
Perhaps she’s fighting alone . Since we can’t fight together with her, we have to stay in this room .
Besides, I can’t say anything that would make Shia-sama and Shuri uneasy .
[Free time, huh . ] Shia
Shia-sama muttered .
After we finished eating ice cream and cake, we have nothing to do .
[Oh, there is a game . ] Shuri
Shuri found game equipment in the box on the shelf . Shuri found Reversi and Trump playing cards . By the way, I forgot that Yuna-oneesan told me to play with this when I need to pa.s.s the time .
She said that playing games would be a good distraction because people get stressed if they have nothing to do .
Nice one, Shuri .
[What is that?] Shia
[It’s something fun . Shia-oneechan, let’s play together . ] Shuri
We all decided to play Reversi .
(Pachi, pachipachi . ) Two whites turned black .
(Pachi, pachipachipachipachi . ) Four blacks became white .
(TN: (pachipachi) The clacking sound when the wooden pieces. .h.i.t the board . )
The black bears turn into white bears . You can tell the outcome without counting .
[I lost again . ] Shia
[Hugging Bear-chan, won . ] Shuri
Shuri, who beat Shia-sama, happily hugs Hugging Bear-chan .
[I lost to both Fina and Shuri . ] Shia
[It can’t be helped . Shia-sama played this game for the first time . While Shuri and I often play with everyone in the orphanage, so we know how to win . ] Fina
[This reversi is simple, but it’s interesting because it needs a strategy . You have to think about which pieces you have to let the opponent take, then plan on how to get it back later . Sacrificing some pieces in order to take the edge . ] Shia
[You can’t win just by taking a lot of places . ] Fina
[Did Yuna-san made this too?] Shia
[Yes . For children’s play equipment . I don’t know, but she said it would serve as a learning experience as well . ] Fina
[Certainly . This reminds me, if I play this game without planning ahead, I won’t be able to win . So if I want to win, I’ll have to think a lot . ] Shia
Yuna-oneesan said that her brain developed by thinking from a young age . That’s why she said that both Reversi and Trump playing cards are the best games to help us think .
And the Trump playing cards seem to be about studying numbers .
This game needs you to add and subtract numbers from the cards . Everyone wants to play, so they’re trying to learn how to add and subtract real hard .
So the children in the orphanage are able to do simple additions and subtractions .
After that, they study letters in the picture books . But the Bear-san’s picture book is embarra.s.sing because I’m included in it . Of course, there are other picture books, but Bear-san’s picture books are popular .
Yuna-oneesan, are you still going to draw the continuation of the picture book?
[Even so, Yuna-san, she’s late . Is she okay? Hugging Bear-chan, is she okay outside?] Shia
Shia-sama asked Hugging Bear-chan, but Hugging Bear-chan cried with a relaxed face . The face he made gave a sense of security and made us feel at ease .
[If Hugging Bear-chan say so, I wonder if she’s okay . Even though I want to go and check outside, the door won’t open . ] Shia
[Yes . Only Yuna-oneesan can open it to prevent thieves from entering . ] Fina
[But if something happens to Yuna-san, can we get out of this room?] Shia
We can get out through the hidden door . But I can’t say that yet .
[Yuna-oneesan is strong, so it doesn’t matter what kind of monster comes at her . ] Fina
[Yuna-san, she’s so strong even though she’s dressed like that . It was so amazing when she defeated the Black Tiger . She also has 100 corpses of Wolves after she subjugated those by herself . ] Shia
She has also defeated Tiger Wolf, Black Viper, Goblin King, and Scorpion . Yuna-oneesan is really amazing .
[If anything happens, I think Yuna-oneesan will retreat . ] Fina
[That’s right . She’s strong enough to defeat the Black Tiger . But will she be okay against Volcrows?] Shia
[Shia-sama, are Volcrows strong?] Fina
I haven’t heard much about Volcrows, so I don’t know how strong they are .
[I don’t know . It’s a threat to ordinary people . But I wonder if it will pose a danger to Yuna-san? Yuna-san can use swords and magic . And she’s strong enough to beat the knight captain Rutum-sama, so I think a Volcrow is as good as an ordinary crow to her . ]
Rutum-sama must be the knight that Yuna-oneesan fought at the school festival . The match at that time was amazing . Yuna-oneesan was so cool .
[Then, let’s keep playing until Yuna-san returns . I won’t lose this time . ] Shia
And so, we played reversi and playing cards to keep ourselves busy .
After a while, the bear door opened .
