Chapter 27: CH 26

It’s called “big black bear” and it is definitely huge! It’s like the big brown bears I saw on TV in the previous world.

“This guy should be the one who attacked Samia…”

If this guy is your enemy, leather armor is of no use, just a single hit from it will most likely send you to the next life. But, it immediately ran away when it sensed that I was approaching… so I think reality might be different. I can’t let go of the possibility that it got huge all at once in just few weeks though.

“Sorry, I don’t have any grudge towards you but…”

Hopefully there will be no hungry cubs in its place. I slowly turn the spear tip towards the bear. My various abilities made me aware of danger and mysteriously, I have this hunch that I will not die in one punch. It’s not like I’ll surely win but I’m grateful that I have such cheats.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

Slowly, the bear stood up. It’s getting bigger and bigger. It now seems to be nearly twice my height. Even so, I kept my hips low and did not stop from pointing the spearhead towards it. Once again, the bear crawls on all fours then it runs up to me. As it turned out like this, with my pace, it will be impossible to retreat. This will not end unless either me or this guy dies.

It leaps up and I barely dodged the black bear’s arms. I actually wanted to strike it with the spear at each passing but it was impossible. It’s faster than I expected. I’m blessed with the benefits of cheats but if I wasn’t, I would have been quickly killed. I considered sweeping the spear sideways to keep it in check but it doesn’t seem to work.

The bear quickly changes its position and turns to this direction. But it was me who made the proper stance first. I quickly thrust the spear and the spear pierces to the bear’s flank without any difficulty. It was so sharp that I almost didn’t feel the spear being stuck. However, the cheat sensation tells me it’s “shallow”. It was because the ground was muddy and I couldn’t stand firm.

I quickly pulled out my spear and jumped away but at the last minute, an impact hits my chest as the bear’s forefoot was able to catch up. I was able to manage the impact to a minimum because I was jumping back but I still thought that all the air in my lungs would come out.Translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

I was able to withstand it then I rolled backwards and rearranged my stance. I’m glad I am only 30 years old. At 40, it will not go this way. This time it’s the reverse, I jump forward and with a close shave I dodged the bear’s forefoot above my head, then I was able to dive into its bosom. At first glance, it looks like I am covered by the bear.

“It’s my win!”

With that stance, I pierced the bear with a spear. I pierce it smoothly without any reluctance. I don’t feel good about it as it injured Samia before, though I’m saying that, I’m still not used to this sensation. As soon as the spear pierced deeply into its flesh, the bear flings me off. With the impact, I rolled over heavily and my hand released the spear.

But now, it has some reaction. The bear struggled with the spear impaled to its chest but it eventually fell down. Probably because it fell sideways, the spear was not damaged. Nevertheless, it seems that the custom-made model has higher durability even though I handled it roughly. It’s worth trying it out next time.

The bear fell, it struggled for a while but it eventually became silent. If something happens, I still have a knife, I think it’s better than nothing so I unsheathed my self-defense knife then I slowly approached it. It does not seem to be breathing. I was a little hesitant so to make sure that it has no reaction, I nudge it at the tip of its foot. There was no movement.

For the time being, without lowering my guard, I pull out the spear that was impaled on it. With splattering sound, blood gushes out moistening its fur and the ground. The scarlet color mixes with the rain and as it spreads, it fused into the ground. During all this time, there was no reaction from it.

The moment that I was convinced that I killed it, my waist gave out. Of course, such last minute exchange of life has never occurred in my previous world. In addition, this time, I completely relied on cheats and installed knowledge to finish the battle. Needless to say, I just barely made it.Translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

I took a deep breath. That made me comfortable. When the tension was released, pain runs throughout my body. Of course, when I was blown away, I was not unharmed. There are countless scratches and bruises all over me. I’m glad that I didn’t break my bones and I can move my body again. But with this amount of pain, I cannot build or forge for a while. I still need to rest for at least a day.Translated by Yume Neiji

I gazed fixedly at the corpse of the defeated bear then I put my hands together.

I’m sorry. Even though you don’t have any victim yet but if you do have one, it will already be too late. I will live for your behalf too.

The bear’s life disappeared and my life remains.

But what to do with this bear? If I left it alone, it will be eaten by those scavenger creatures. I think that’s fine too but it’s the life that I took. If possible, I want to mourn for it and there are some parts that I want to eat too. My muscular strength has been greatly strengthened, so I’ll do my best to carry it…

“Yosh, Heave-ho!”

Alongside the spear, I carry the bear’s arm on my shoulder. It’s extremely heavy. Surely, even a small male brown bear weighs only about 250 kilograms right? It’s heavy, but I can just drag it as it is. Because it’s raining, that will also help to wash the trail of blood.

I also have injuries here and there and because of rain, my feet were a little unstable, so I couldn’t proceed as I expected. It would be troublesome if another bear or wolf attacked while I’m doing this so I would like to hurry but, if I overlooked the presence of a bear or a wolf, then there’s no meaning to it. So I firmly proceed step by step.

It took me twice as long as when I came here. Eventually, I was able to return half a distance from my house. Thankfully, the streaks of pouring rain are rapidly weakening. With this amount, it will stop soon. If that happens, I should be able to go back a little faster. I’m pretty tired, I was about to lower the bear’s arm and spear from my shoulders to take a break but at that very moment, something came out from a nearby bush.

“Uwah!”

I was pushed down on the ground before I have the time to pull out the knife. That “something” that has pushed me down stood up, faced the bear, unsheathed a knife and took a low stance.

That was Samia. With gaze full of anger, she turned to the bear, she appears to be cute as she angrily stared at the bear’s hand holding my neck. I got up and called her out with raised voice.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

“Samia! I’m fine! That’s already dead!”

Surprised by my voice, Samia turns her face and look at me.

“Really? Truthfully, are you really alright?”

“Yeah, there are pains and scratches here and there but there are no major injuries.”

Upon hearing it, Samia jumps at me again. I was a little surprised, but unlike before, I was able to catch her.This is translated by Yume Neiji

“T-That’s good… I’m relieved… I, I…”

I keep on stroking Samia’s head as she’s now crying.
