Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Chapter 561

Chapter 561

Bear-san, Gives The Present

Everyone enjoyed the bear cupcakes.

When Tirumina-san asked me about it, I wasn’t sure what to make, but I’m glad everyone seemed happy with it.

I gave them the idea and the basic recipe. Tirumina-san and Elena-san worked on it and came up with the bear cupcakes in their current form.

The bear cupcakes will also be added as a menu to be sold at the store later.

Progressively, it feels like bears are invading that store. There is nothing I can do to stop it now, so I have no choice but to give up…

“Now then, it’s our turn to give the present. This is from me, Fina, and Shuri.” (Yuna)

When I said that, Noa’s eyes lit up. It seemed she had been holding back and not saying anything. I took the life-sized Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear plus.h.i.+es from the bear box.

“It’s a present from me, Fina, and Shuri.” (Yuna)

“U wa~a, thank you very much.” (Noa)

Noa happily hugged her life-sized stuffed Swaying Bear and buried her face in its belly.

“So soft~” (Noa)

“The dolls are ma.s.sive. And only made by four people.” (Misa)

Five, to be exact, if you count Sherry. But Misa doesn’t know that, so we can’t help it.

“It’s enormous. About the same size as Yuna’s bear.” (Cliff)

“You joined the bandit subjugation to recover the cotton to put inside these stuffed animals, didn’t you?” (Gran)

Misa, Cliff, and Gran-san looked at the life-sized Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear plus.h.i.+es and gave their impressions. Tirumina-san and Gentz-san were astonished.

“As you know, Noa, it was a lot of work to make, so take good care of it.” (Yuna)

“Yes, of course. Yuna-san, Fina, Shuri, thank you very much. I will cherish it.” (Noa)

We made it together with Noa, but it’s nice to be thanked for our effort.

“Noa-oneesama, may I touch them too?” (Misa)

“Of course~” (Noa)

When Noa gave permission, Misa touched the life-sized Hugging Bear plus.h.i.+e.

“It’s feels soft. I want a big Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan stuffed animals, too.” (Misa)

Misa looked envious. It’s the opposite of the scene at Misa’s birthday party.

I would have made them for her if those were normal-sized stuffed animals if those were normal-sized stuffed animals. But as you’d expect, I can’t easily say I would make her the same-sized stuffed animals.

“Then, shall I make it as a present for your next birthday, Misa?” (Yuna)

“Really!?” (Misa)

However, it will be a year later.

“Yeah. Until then, Misa, if you still want a stuffed animal, that is.” (Yuna)

Perhaps next year, they may have outgrown stuffed animals. Children grow up fast, and their wants may change. But some feelings don’t change over the years.

“So if you still want it as your birthday gets closer, don’t hesitate to let me know.” (Yuna)

“Yes!” (Misa)

With this, I don’t have to think about Misa’s next birthday present. Birthday gifts get harder to come up with the more you think about them.

And next, Noa gives Fina a present in return.

“I didn’t know what to get Fina as a gift because I didn’t want to give her something expensive. So I discussed it with Lara and decided to make this.” (Noa)

Noa said so and removed a black and white object from her bag. It was a stuffed Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

“I think you already have a set, but I made it myself. I’m not very good at it, but would you accept it? I think you can put it in your room if it is this size.” (Noa)

The stuffed bear seems to have a slightly, slightly different facial expression. Maybe she worked very hard on it alone, without help from anyone.

“Thank you, Noa-sama.” (Fina)

Fina accepted it happily and looked a little surprised.

“Are? The texture is different.” (Fina)

“You noticed it, didn’t you? We used cloth that feels good on the skin and the cotton that Yuna-san recovered. That’s why it should be very comfortable to hold.” (Noa)

In other words, it’s a stuffed animal of the highest quality. I touched it with my right hand, which I am not wearing a bear puppet.

Oh, it certainly feels better than the stuffed animals we made.

It’s truly a luxurious stuffed animal.

“At any rate, you were making stuffed animals by yourself?” (Yuna)

“I wanted to give a large stuffed animal to Fina, but she said she couldn’t put it in her room if it were too big.” (Noa)

Tirumina-san, listening to the conversation, said in a small voice, “As expected, you can’t put it down”.

“But I thought this size would be okay. I already knew you had one, but this is the only thing I can do.” (Noa)

“Did you make it from scratch by any chance?” (Yuna)

“I used the stuffed toy that Yuna-san gave me as a reference.” (Noa)

She made it after seeing that.

“It was tough to make.” (Noa)

“If you had told me, I would have helped.” (Yuna)

“This is my selfishness. I wanted to try making it by myself. If that makes Fina happy, that pleasure would be mine.” (Noa)

Certainly, if you make it with a lot of people, it would feel like that grat.i.tude will be dispersed.

There’s a clear difference between getting a ” Thank you ” with a hundred people, and getting thanks just to yourself.

Noa’s words make Fina a little embarra.s.sed. Fina looked at Noa.

“Thank you, Noa-sama. I will treasure it. I am very happy.” (Fina)

Her words bring a big smile to Noa’s face.

Their friends.h.i.+p, it’s too dazzling.

“Well then, I’m next.” (Misa)

Misa then took a piece of cloth out of the item bag.

What’s that? It’s not a handkerchief. Various fabrics appear to be overlapped.

“I read from Noa-oneesama’s letter that you were going to make a stuffed animal. So I made this.” (Misa)

Misa unfolded the fabrics she was holding.

“Clothes?” (Yuna)

What Misa unfolded and showed us was a small outfit. They were even smaller than the clothes worn by Fina and the others and could almost be called baby clothes.

“Noa, are you getting married by any chance?” (Yuna)

“No, I’m not!” (Noa)

Noa waves her hand in denial.

“No, this is not for Noa-oneesama’s baby. It’s for Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan stuffed animals.” (Misa)

Misa also hurriedly denied it and told us whose clothes they were.

“Stuffed animal’s clothes?” (Yuna)

“I made these because I thought it would be nice to dress Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan in clothes. Is it strange?” (Misa)

Misa asked a little shyly.

“No, it’s not weird.” (Yuna)

“Really?” (Misa)

Even in my former world, it was normal to dress stuffed animals in clothes. It’s not strange because I also dress them according to seasons and events.

Misa was amazing for noticing it.

“I’m amazed you came up with that.” (Yuna)

“I got the idea when I saw the dolls wearing clothes. What do you think, Noa-oneesama, Fina-chan?” (Misa)

“I think it’s an excellent idea.” (Noa)

“Yes, I think so too.” (Fina)

“I’m glad. I’ve made different varieties, so please let them wear it.” (Misa)

Misa laid out the clothes on the table.

“I made clothes like warrior, mage, knight, priest, cook, maid, and commercial guild uniforms.” (Misa)

It looks like she made clothes for many different professions.

“Then I’ll bring the stuffed animals from my room.” (Noa)

“Noire-sama, I will bring it.” (Lara)

As Noa was about to run to her room to retrieve her stuffed animal, Lara-san, serving in the corner, left to get it.

“Then, let’s put it on Fina’s stuffed animal first. Which one would you like, Fina?” (Misa)

“Etto, the mage?” (Fina)

Fina points to the magician’s outfit.

“Then let’s make the other one a warrior.” (Misa)

Noa says this, and then the changing of the Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear plus.h.i.+es that Noa has made begins.

The warrior Swaying Bear and the wizard Hugging Bear were completed.

Oh, it looks better than I expected.

“Still, you did a good job of it.” (Yuna)

“Well, Meshun helped me.” (Misa)

As I recall, Meshun-san was a maid who works at Misa’s house. She helped me a lot during the birthday party.

“Meshun is good at sewing. Noa-oneesama made it all by herself, but I can’t do that.” (Misa)

“I don’t think so. Everyone learns to make things from someone else in the beginning.” (Yuna)

People learn from something, even a book.

Only a handful of geniuses can create from nothing.

“Yes, that’s right. I also learned how to make them by making a large stuffed animal. If we had not made them together, I would not have been able to make them. So there is nothing to be ashamed of.” (Noa)

“I agree. It’s the same with dismantling. If you’ve never dismantled anything before, you cannot dismantle a monster well. My dad taught me how to do it and I learned through practice. That’s why you don’t have to feel bad about it.” (Fina)

“I am also being taught by my sister and dad.” (Shuri)

Noa, Fina, and Shuri backed her up.

“Thank you, Noa-oneesama, Fina-chan, and Shuri-chan.” (Misa)

Misa looks happy.

Then, when Lara-san brought Noa’s Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear plus.h.i.+es, the four began dressing the stuffed animals.

Then, the four Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear plus.h.i.+es were dressed. Fina has a warrior and a wizard. Noa’s stuffed animals were a cook and a maid.

They all looked cute and it suited them.

Now that Misa’s presents were given, it’s my turn.

“Fina, here is my gift to you.” (Yuna)

I hand her a sheet of paper.

“Etto, thank you very much?” (Fina)

Fina accepted the paper, not knowing what it meant.

“What did you get?” (Noa)

Noa and Fina looked at the paper. It says “Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s outing ticket”. It’s small, but it also has my name on it.

“Well, it’s just what it says on the paper. It’s a ticket to go out with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.” (Yuna)

“What’s that? I want one too.” (Noa)

“Noa, you already got the big stuffed animals as a present.” (Yuna)

I look at the large stuffed animal. I wondered how much work it took to make it, even though it was made by five of us, including Sherry, who was not here.

“Yes, but I’m envious.” (Noa)

Even so, it’s like a shoulder ma.s.sage ticket. It’s nothing compared to Noa’s present.

“Sorry about that, Fina.” (Yuna)

“That’s not it. I am happy. I will treasure it.” (Fina)

“No, you’re supposed to use it.” (Yuna)

I’m thinking of letting Fina use it since she’s likely to leave it in a drawer unused.

Author’s Note:

I was worried about what to present to Fina.

Something that would not be expensive and would please Fina.

I am not borrowing Yuna’s words, but it is difficult to think of a gift. (lol)
