Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Vol. 2

and reached the ear of the lord before long. This volume is about how word of the bear onesie steadily began to spread throughout the town of Crimonia.

One would wonder what people who have never seen a bear onesie before would think when they saw one.

I wrote the story in this book about a year ago. Back then, I was just writing from the momentum without really thinking much about it. When I thought over the things I’d set up back then, I made several modifications. In the plot in my head, I was planning to have Yuna go to the royal capital as quickly as she could without even building the bear house. Because of that, I never would have thought Fina would become such a pivotal character back when I was first writing. At first, Fina’s role was to just explain the fantasy world. She was someone who was made for the purpose of explaining the town, the adventurers’ guild, and the things Yuna needed to live in that world. At this point, she’s become an indispensable character in this work.

Since Yuna stayed in Crimonia, we were able to meet Noa, Cliff, and the children of the orphanage. From now on, I think the story will expand with this town at its center.

I think you may have realized this while reading, but I’ve removed the status screen and other things from the second volume. The reason for that was because it isn’t as though there are game gauges, so displaying the same skills and magic every time didn’t seem necessary. Because of that, I’ve listed the skills and magic Yuna has obtained on the first page. I’d be delighted if you referenced those while you were reading.

I want to thank 029 for drawing Yuna and Fina so cutely in the first volume. When I asked 029 to draw Yuna in her white bear outfit, I was met with ready agreement. It sure is a cute look.

Finally, thank you to those who helped me put out this work. I’d like to thank the proofreader who helped with any errors and such, my managing editor, and everyone at the publisher.
