Chapter 340 Bear-san Checks the Swimsuits

Credits to: valiant, Philip.
When I and Shuri entered the shop, Naru-san welcomes us.
[Is Sherry here?] Yuna
[She’s in the back. She’s waiting for you, so go on and head to the back.] Naru
After saying my thanks, we head to the back room. When we entered the back room, we can see Sherry and Temoka-san working.
[Sherry, sorry for being late.] Yuna
The alarm clock didn’t work. I forgot to set the timer.
I apologized to Sherry and said hello to Temoka-san.
[Well then, I’ll be at my table, so you can relax.] Temoka
Temoka-san went to the inside of the store and left us alone.
[Did I disturb your work?] Yuna
[It’s ok. I told him that Yuna-oneechan will come. So he was teaching me while I was waiting.] Sherry
[So, it’s fine then.] Yuna
[You’re here with Shuri-chan today.] Sherry
[Yeah, we came here together.] Yuna
I was sleeping until a while ago, but I can’t say she woke me up.
[Sherry, it must have been hard to make everyone’s swimwear. Thank you for the hard work.] Yuna
[No, it wasn’t that hard. Unlike ordinary cloths, it has no decorations. I just tied the cloths together.] Sherry
Even so, it would have been difficult to make that amount of swimwear for a large number of people. I haven’t made clothes in my life, so I don’t know the hardships around it, but I do know that it was difficult.
[And so, I have something to ask Yuna-oneechan.] Sherry
[What? If my swimsuit isn’t made yet, it’s fine.] Yuna
[No, I made your swimsuit properly.] Sherry
She made it. I wish she didn’t have to.
[So, what then?] Yuna
Sherry opens a box she got from her room and took out some swimwear. She has a black and white swimsuit in her hand. Then Sherry placed it on the table.
What was she placed on the table?… School swimsuit?
For a moment, I thought it was mine, but the name of a child from the orphanage was written on the chest. A name? Why?
[I asked Yuna-oneechan to draw various swimsuits, but this will be the swimsuits for everyone in the orphanage.] Sherry
[Etto, can I ask why?] Yuna
[Well you see, I was hoping I could ask everyone individually what sort of swimsuit they would like. And that’s what I did during dinner once we were all gathered. But then, even though we were still eating, everyone made a ruckus while deciding on their swimsuits. They all fought over the paper with your illustrations, and it turned into a real mess. Then the director got mad. No one could tell which swimsuit each person had decided on, so the director picked one instead and asked me to go with that. With this design, I could put our names to tell which belonged to whom. So I couldn’t argue with that either.] Sherry
But it might be a good idea to unify the swimwear for the children in the orphanage. This swimsuit has a name on the chest so you won’t make a mistake.
[I’m sorry, Even after I asked Yuna-oneechan to draw various swimsuit illustrations…] Sherry
[Don’t worry about it. I can understand the feelings of the director. But why black and white?] Yuna
I understand if it’s black, I made it black in the illustration, but why white? I didn’t draw a white school swimsuit. I don’t think there is a white school swimsuit in this world.
[It’s Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan colors. At least I was allowed to do that.] Sherry
Shelley replied as if it’s nothing. She only referred it to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
There is nothing wrong with a black swimsuit. In my former world, it was a dark blue or black swimsuit. However, white looks and feels subtle for a white school swimsuit. There was no white school swimsuit at school.
Perhaps this embarrassing feeling of looking at the white school swimsuit may come from what I know from the former world. But, from the children’s point of view, they probably just saw it as Hugging Bear’s color.
[So for the boys?] Yuna
At the very least, let’s allow the girls to have a white school swimsuit. White swimsuits usually existed. But I’ve never seen or heard of the men’s white trunks, so I want you to stop.
Sherry takes out another set of swimwear from the box. There were only black swimming trunks there.
I was relieved and put my hand on my chest. If I saw white swimming trunks there, I might have slammed the table.
[It’s black.] Yuna
[Yes. The boys chose black.] Sherry
It was really good. It’s not white trunks.
Though I drew the boy’s swimwear illustration, she put a name on it on the far right, but it looks the same.
[Sherry-nechan. What about me?] Shuri
[I also made one for Shuri-chan.] Sherry
Sherry takes out the swimsuit from a different box and hands it over to Shuri.
[Can I wear it?] Shuri
[You want to wear it now? You don’t want to wait until you get to the sea?] Yuna
[Can’t I?] Shuri
Isn’t it embarrassing for a child?
Well, aside from taking measurements, trying it on is also important.
With my permission, Shuri tried to undress on the spot. I rushed to stop Shuri, but Shuri tilted her head. Since we are only girls here, usually there’s no problem. Little girls are changing on the spot even in ordinary swimming pools and beaches. But this is someone else’s home, so someone may come into this room. I’m worried about Shuri’s future if I don’t tell her where to properly change.
[Sherry, is there a place to change clothes?] Yuna
[Yes there is. Now Shuri-chan. Use the next room.] Sherry
[Okay!~] Shuri
Shuri goes to the next room with her swimsuit. I’m slightly tired. I look at the door of the room where Shuri went and wait. Though I’m worried because I don’t know what kind of swimsuit I’ll have.
[Do you want to wear yours too Yuna-oneechan?] Sherry
Sherry asked me as I was staring at the door.
[You have it? Though I didn’t say I wanted a swimsuit, right?] Yuna
Although the size was measured.
[Yes, so I made a lot of swimsuits that would look good on Yuna-oneechan.] Sherry
[…………] Yuna
What did you say just now?
I heard you made a lot. Though I think I might be mistaken.
Sherry turned back and opened the lid of another box. When she came back with a lot of swimwear, she placed it on the table.
[I did my best for Yuna-oneechan.] Sherry
Sherry answered with a carefree smile, it’s kinda troublesome because she has no malicious intent. I think she really just made it for me.
[Etto, thank you.] Yuna
I can feel that my face is twitching. But my words make Sherry happy. But if I change the way I see this, I might actually be lucky. I will be able to choose from different swimsuits. Though if there is a white swimsuit or a super mini-bikini in the mix, and I had no other choices, I might cry.
[How about this?] Sherry
Sherry spreads the swimsuit, it’s a one piece. A swimsuit with black as the main color with a mix of white trims. It’s a normal swimsuit?
Furthermore, Sherry continues to take out the other swimwear.
There are bikinis, some of which have different upper and lower colors of white and black, and some have the right and left with black and white patterns. But a bikini is painful to look at if the wearer doesn’t have chests. Is it okay if I put magic pads? (TC: Bear Pads?)
There are few people who knew my bust size. Sherry took my sizes so it’s unavoidable, but before that, I took a bath together with, Fina, Shuri, Tirumina-san, and Noah. The others didn’t know about my chest size because of the Bear Costume. They might think I have big breasts.
While I’m being worried about that, Sherry shows me another pair of swimsuits. There was no miniature bikini in it, but there was a black and white school swimsuit. It was dangerous. If this is what I’m going to, I might have to refuse.
[But why are they all black and white?] Yuna
All swimwears are mainly black and white colors. No other colors were used.
[I thought Yuna-oneechan likes black and white. Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan are also black and white.] Sherry
If she says it like that, I couldn’t say anything. Well, it’s still better than a pink or flashy red.
There are also swimsuits with frills and bikini wrap skirts. It looks like she made all the swimsuits that look good on me from the illustrations that I drew.
[Yuna-oneechan. Which one would you like?] Sherry
[Did I trouble Sherry because I couldn’t choose?] Yuna
[That’s not true. It was fun to make swimsuits that looked good on Yuna-oneechan.] Sherry
[But I can’t wear them all.] Yuna
[Yeah. But I’d be happy if there was something that Yuna-oneechan liked.] Sherry
There’s no lie in Sherry’s words. She answered with a big smile.
[…………] Yuna
[Perhaps, there’s nothing that you like?] Sherry
When I became silent, Sherry’s smile instantly turns into anxiousness.
[That’s not it. There are so many, that I just couldn’t decide. Since everything is good, I can’t choose right away, so can I take it home and slowly think about it?] Yuna
[Of course. All of these are for Yuna-oneechan, so it’s okay.] Sherry
From the swimsuits that I could never wear to the cute ones, I put them all in the Bear Box. I absolutely had to choose one. But it seems that there are swimsuits that I can wear, so somehow that’s good.
While I’m being worried about such things, the door at the back opened and Shuri came out.
[…………Normal?] Yuna
Shuri came out wearing an ordinary white one-piece swimsuit with frills for children.
[Yuna-oneechan. How do I look?] Shuri
[Un, it looks good on you. It’s cute] Yuna
[Really?] Shuri
Shuri gladly twirls.
…………？
It looks like I saw something just now. Maybe it’s just my imagination.
[Etto, Shuri. Turn around once more, slowly.] Yuna
I asked Shuri just to confirm.
[Un!] Shuri
Shuri slowly turns around on the spot.
[Sutoppu! (stop)] Yuna
I shout the moment Shuri turns her back on me.
[What?] Shuri
Even though I said to stop, Shuri moved, but it wasn’t a mistake. When I approached Shuri, I look at her back… at her buttocks.
[Etto, what is this?] Yuna
Shuri’s butt has a round white object.
[It’s the tail of Hugging Bear-chan.] Sherry
[Why, such a thing……] Yuna
[Ah, right. Sherry-neechan. I don’t have a cap.] Shuri
[Oh, sorry. I forgot.] Sherry
Sherry once again puts her hand in the box, picks something up, and hands it over to Shuri.
What did she give her?
Shuri, who receives it, spreads it and wears it on her head.
[…………] Yuna
I couldn’t say anything, my mouth was wide open and I couldn’t close it when I saw Shuri. The cap that Shuri was wearing was a swimming cap with a .
[It’s the same as Yuna-oneechan] Shuri
Shuri is wearing a swim cap with a bear’s face and she also has a bear’s tail. She looks like a white bear.
[…Sherry. What is this?] Yuna
[Yuna-oneechan drew it, was there something wrong?] Sherry
Then Sherry brought the paper from the drawer. The paper had an illustration of a school swimsuit that I drew and a swim cap is drawn in the illustration.
I understood what Sherry wanted to say. But why a bear?
I didn’t draw a bear in the illustration on the hat, right? When I asked, why? I got the following reply:
In the orphanage, they discussed the swimsuit. The color of the swimsuit was decided to be Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear color. It seems that they decided it to be Bear-san color. Then the younger group asked, . So it seems that she decided to attach it because the children wanted to have a bear’s tail. Then there was the cap in the illustration, Sherry thought that she made a smart decision to imitate my bear hood and made a bear’s swim cap.
So this means I’m the cause of it.
In other words, when I go to the sea, I will be followed by kids wearing Bear-san’s swimwear, just like Shuri.
I suddenly feel that don’t want to go to the sea. But everyone is looking forward to it, so there’s no way I can do that.
If I knew this would happen, I should have just stayed in Crimonia and supervised it instead of taking the work from the King.
But I wouldn’t know what Karina’s fate would be. This must be the work of the devil.
