bear-san, dressed in clothes of the land of wa
each person chose a kimono, while sakura and suzuran helped them get changed.
“it’s difficult to put on, isn’t it?” (noa)
“that’s not true. it’s easy once you get used to it. to me, it looks like noa and the others’ clothes are more difficult to wear.” (sakura)
sakura assisted in dressing noa, and suzuran assisted in dressing misa.
fina and shuri had already tried on the kimono, so they let noa and misa go first.
me? i would be the last.
“tie this with the string, and you’re done.” (sakura)
it was a bright kimono with a beautiful floral pattern.
combined with noa’s golden hair, it was very glamorous.
suzuran also completed misa’s change of clothes.
here, too, her silver hair stood out against the floral patterned kimono, creating a beauty that was different from that of fina and me.
“noa-sama, misa-sama. you look so beautiful.” (fina)
“thank you.” (noa)
“i’m a little embarrassed.” (misa)
both noa and misa’s cheeks turned red.
“sakura-sama, i think they look fine as they are, but since we’re here, let’s change their hairstyles too.” (suzuran)
“that’s right.” (sakura)
sakura nodded at suzuran’s words.
“our hair?” (noa)
“yes, we’ll fix it, so please wait a little while.” (sakura)
sakura and suzuran started to comb noa and misa’s hair with a comb.
“noa-chan and misa-chan, your hair is so long and nice.”
shuri touched her own hair.
fina and shuri both have short hair.
“both me and shuri have been letting our hair grow without cutting it recently.” (fina)
“is that so?” (yuna)
“i’m thinking of making it as long as yuna onee-chan’s...” (fina)
fina said, looking embarrassed.
she had told me before that she wanted to grow her hair long like mine, but i didn’t think she was doing it.
but it would be a while before her hair grew as long as mine.
while i was speaking with fina and shuri, noa and misa’s hair continued to be styled.
“alright, it’s done.” (sakura)
“this is also done.” (suzuran)
noa and misa’s hair was finished.
their hair was gathered at the back of their heads, and they were given hairpins.
they looked like different people.
“there’s a mirror here, so please check.” (suzuran)
a full-length mirror was placed at the end of the room.
noa and misa moved over to look at their reflection.
“it doesn’t look like the usual me.” (noa)
“yes, even though it’s just a change of clothes and hairstyle...” (misa)
noa and misa looked embarrassed in front of the full-length mirror, but their faces were smiling.
“sakura, thank you.” (noa)
“thank you, suzuran-san, too.” (misa)
“i’m glad you’re happy.” (sakura)
“now, let’s get fina, shuri and yuna-sama dressed.” (suzuran)
“have you decided what you’re going to wear?” (sakura)
“i want to wear something like shinobu-chan.” (shuri)
shuri said, looking at shinobu.
“the same as mine?” (shinobu)
shinobu looked at her own clothes.
“yes!” (shuri)
“do you think there’s anything here that shuri could wear? perhaps we could look in my house? but it’s too late now.” (yuna)
“there is. don’t you remember when shinobu tried to make me wear that?” (sakura)
“oh, that did happen...” (shinobu)
it looked like they had remembered something.
“...i think it’s in the back here...” (sakura)
sakura went to look for it in the back of the chest.
“that’s terrible, putting it away in the back like that.” (shinobu)
“it’s not like it’s something i’ll be wearing, so there’s not much i can do about it. besides, shinobu probably forgot that she gave it to me in the first place.” (sakura)
sakura refuted shinobu’s words.
when she said that, i quickly realized that she was correct.
even when we went to the royal capital, and i was with fina and noa for the first time, noa changed her clothes by herself, and the same also happened at the school festival when we visited shea and when we were dealing with the fairy troubles.
“no, i didn’t forget, but i was thinking of a common image of a typical noble being dressed...” (yuna)
it seemed that i had formed a bad preconception.
“of course, i change my clothes by myself too.” (misa)
when i glanced at misa, she answered immediately.
and so sakura finished changing her clothes.
“i’m embarrassed.” (sakura)
sakura, wearing noa’s clothes, looked at herself and seemed embarrassed.
“it feels different.” (yuna)
“you don’t look like sakura-sama.” (shinobu)
shinobu let out a comment like that to sakura, who was wearing noa’s clothes.
“it suits you.” (noa)
“yes, it suits you.” (misa)
“doesn’t it suit her better than when noa wears it?” (yuna)
“yuna-san, that’s cruel.” (noa)
“i’m just joking. you both look good.” (yuna)
“but everyone looks different depending on what they’re wearing.” (fina)
fina looked at everyone.
“i think so too. especially yuna-san.” (sakura)
everyone’s attention was focused on me.
“that’s right. she always wears a bear costume.” (noa)
when it came to that, didn’t everyone usually wear the same regular clothes every day?
i thought so in my mind, but i didn’t say it out loud.
“what is this? it doesn’t move. it’s heavy.” (shinobu)
suddenly shinobu started making a fuss, so i looked in the direction of the noise and saw that she was trying to lift the bear costume i had taken off.
“what are you doing?” (yuna)
“well, i thought that it would get in the way if it remained here, so i was going to move it to the same place as noa and the others’ clothes. but this one doesn’t move at all.” (shinobu)
when noa and the others heard this, they tried to move my clothes too, but it didn’t budge.
“it’s true. it doesn’t move at all.” (sakura)
“it’s heavy.” (noa)
“maybe we haven’t trained enough to lift it?” (fina)
i asked everyone to move away and lifted the bear’s clothes with ease.
“no way, i can’t believe it!” (shinobu)
“yuna-san, you’re outstanding!” (sakura)
it was not that amazing.
however, since the bear equipment was non-transferable, no-one other than me could even carry it.
as an exception, swaying bear and hugging bear could carry it but of course, they couldn’t equip it.
“i had no idea yuna was training like this.” (shinobu)
“training?” (yuna)
what did she mean?
“it’s a training in which you wear heavy things on your body. i do undergo such training too.”(shinobu)
“is that really a form of training?” (yuna)
“you train by wearing heavy things on your body. when you get used to it, your body feels lighter when you take the heavy things off, and you can move faster than usual.” (shinobu)
ah, i’ve seen training scenes like that in manga.
apparently, they actually practice with heavy bands attached to their ankles and arms.
i didn’t know much about it, though.
“so yuna was training all the time wearing such heavy clothes. i think i’ve just found out a little bit about the secret to yuna’s strength.” (shinobu)
no, she didn’t understand anything at all. she got it entirely wrong.
“so, yuna-san, you are always wearing that bear costume, right?” (noa)
now they were all starting to misunderstand.
i wear it all the time because i am at my weakest without my bear equipment.
“so that’s why you are so strong.” (misa)
well, it was true that i was strong thanks to my bear equipment, but that’s not how it works, misa.
“yuna-san, you’re the best!” (noa)
i was not that amazing.
“you’ve become strong through the accumulation of your daily efforts, i see.” (sakura)
no, i didn’t.
“it’s so frustrating. i’m going to put on something heavier too.” (shinobu)
to begin with, the bear outfit was not heavy. in fact, it was quite light.
i’ve had enough of this nonsense, so i put the bear costume away in my bear box.
