Book 2: Chapter 6: Part 5

Heres the chapter for today, enjoy~Part 5

The next morning, with most of the class groups having set up their tents solidly in the same location, there were a lot of students around who were starting to move. Among them were Ryo and the others.

I dont like this anymore this isnt at all what I imagined camping to be like to start looking for ingredients again!

Even if we complain here, we wont get any food.

I know, but I just dont understand it!

For now, lets just get through the day.

It was at that time when everyone around us was discussing their plans for their upcoming activities as well with a friendly atmosphere in the air.

I-its a beaaarrrr!

Huh?

A-a bear?

I saw one of the students running over, shouting out loud. When I looked closely, I saw a bear running at high speed behind him.

A-a bear? And thats the same one that tried to eat me yesterday!

Seriously? Hey, Akira, you go ahead and lure it again! You can also beat it if you want! Said Rin.

Thats ridiculous! Not even I call myself a bear-killing young noble!

Even if you cant beat it, you can be a decoy!

Ha, Ive been deceived againnnnn! Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Even Akira, who was at the limit of his physical strength until a moment ago, was jumping up and down on the spot when the bear appeared. Then, it seemed that one of the students had gone to call the teachers, and Sawada-sensei and the other teachers came over.

Hey, are you all okay?

Listen, students, get behind the teachers right now! When you move, make sure there are as many obstacles between you and the bear as possible!

Fortunately, there are no students near the bear, so we manage to take shelter behind the teachers. However, the bear also came running after us.

As expected, theres no one among the teachers who can use a hunting rifle.

Hihihi C-can I use this medicine?

Yo-Yomikawa-sensei, calm down! Wont that kill us all if you use it?

Why is there a bear on our property in the first place? Im sure weve got that area under control, but

They probably came from the nearby mountains and breached the fence. Well have to investigate that area as well

Anyway, well just have to wait it out until the police arrive.

While the teachers were discussing this, Sawada-sensei, who was distracted by the students, fell down.

Oops

Sawada-sensei!

Exposing an opening in front of the bear would be quite dangerous. Therefore, the other teachers hurriedly tried to help her up, but the next thing they knew, the bear was nearby.

Guoooh!

Oh my, we have a problem.

Sawada-sensei says such things in a carefree manner. If I look closely, I see that cold sweat is running from her forehead. She tried to slowly, slowly retreat from the spot, but the bear didnt even miss her movement.

Gaaaah!

L-look out!

The moment the agitated bear raised its thick arm and was about to swing down on Sawada-senseiI found myself running.

Yu-Yuuya-kun!

Kaede, who was nearby, raised her voice with a surprised look, but by that time, I was already standing between Sawada-sensei and the bear. And then I catch the arm that is swinging down vigorously with one hand.

Guo!?

Te-Tenjou!?

Not only the bear, but also Sawada-sensei was surprised at my intrusion, and her eyes widened at the scene in front of her.

Ah whats my excuse? Its not like Im just a slightly athletic person anymore. But I cant just sit back and watch it happen when people are being attacked. I dont know how its going to turn out, but well, itll turn out the way it will!

The difference between dealing with monsters and dealing with wild animals is that for me, dealing with animals is not a big deal at all. After all, in another world, I even killed a fire-breathing bear the devil bear.

Gu-guoooohh!

The bear, having its hand attack blocked, hurriedly raised its other hand and swung it down at me. But I caught the attack with my other hand and went into a four-handed stance.

H-hes grappling with a bear!

Whats happening?

What kind of a man fights a bear with his bare hands?

As everyones eyes widened at the unbelievable situation, I bounced the bears arms up from the four-handed position to end it quickly and put my arms around its torso and hugged it as if it were a wrestling match.

Guuooooo!?

Is he Kintaro? [T/n: Kintaro is a hero boy of Japanese folklore, who befriended animals and had supernatural strength.]

No, no, no, before that, how can he compete on equal strength with a bear?

I lifted the bear as it was, while Ryo and Kaede both tsukomi at it together.

Soryaa!

Guuoooooo!

H-he lifted iiitttt.

Doseiii!

I lifted the bear up and threw it straight into the distance. Then the bear flies off easily and falls down, rolling on the ground as it is, and then it faints. I lightly brush my hand away and call out to the bear that fainted.

Phew if you learn from this, dont you dare to attack people recklessly again, okay?

No, no, no, no, no! Thats weird! said everyone in unison.

All the people who were watching me and the bear were tsukomiing.

Te-Tenjou! Are you okay?

Ah, Sawada-sensei. Im fine, you know? What about sensei, are you okay?

Eh? A-ah, sensei is fine and nothing is wrong! You have to take a check-up with Yomikawa-sensei right now!

Eeh? B-but really, Im just fine

Just get her to check on you.

At the urging of Sawada-sensei, who had an unusually serious expression on her face, I reluctantly decided to have Yomikawa-sensei examine me.

I ended up having Yomikawa-sensei examine me, but when she found out that my body was all right, Sawada-sensei thanked me again.

Thank you, Tenjou. If truth be told, as a teacher, I should be punishing you for committing such a dangerous act, but this time, you saved my life. How about me as your reward?

Eh, Ill hold back

Is that so? Well, then I guess Ill just wait patiently.

Um, I dont want you to wait too long I thought it was the end of the matter for now since it was all taken care of to a certain extent, but there was still the biggest problem.

That was.

Guo

What are we going to do about this bear?

The bear has become completely docile. If it continues like this, it will be treated as a potential target for killing. Or, if it is lucky, maybe itll end up in a zoo? As I was thinking about that, Kaori came over.

About the bear over there since weve had to go through all this trouble, weve decided to keep it at this facility.

Eh? Keeping it!

I was surprised by the unexpected words, and Kaori smiled at me.

Yes. We have permission from the city, so there is no problem in keeping it. As a crime prevention measure, we would like to raise it as a watchdog, a guardian bear.

Guardian bear

What a powerful word.

How did you get the permit so easily?

That part well its my fathers power, so to speak

Political power is amazing. The bear also looked at Kaori with shining eyes, as if it understood Kaoris words.

But is it okay? Even though there was no damage, its still dangerous to have a bear

Its okay! If this bear ever attacks a person, we plan to eat it as delicious bear meat!

G-guo!? Ku-Kuma. Kumakuma.

Didnt you used to say Guooh? Could that be a flattering voice? But even if its a flattery voice, Kuma is strange!

Although there are still many things to worry about, the bear is safe(?). It would be kept at the schools facility, and our field trip had ended.
