Afterword

 

HELLO, EVERYONE. Kumanano here.

Thank you for picking up Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear’s fourth volume! Here, Yuna has finally gotten her own shop and bakers. Just as you might expect, the décor is all bear-themed and even the orphans employed there wear bear uniforms.

After getting her hands on some bread, Yuna heads to the ocean seeking seafood. Although she arrives there, she can’t get what she wants that easily. The monster of the sea, the kraken, appears! Though Yuna cheats a little by fighting on dry land because she can’t fight on the ocean or fly in the sky, she ends up slaying the beast.

In this extra story, I wrote about the rookie adventurer Horn, who made an appearance in the second volume. She’s a new adventurer, and since she doesn’t know much about magic because she grew up in a small village, she can only use weak magic. Under Yuna’s instruction, she’s gotten a little stronger. I hope to write about Horn once she’s grown more.

I also had the opportunity to write about the orphanage being rebuilt. Finally, the kids have a warm place to sleep! Even if they get dirty from their work and play, they can take a nice, comfy bath. It’s always nice seeing an orphan end up happy.

Thank you to my managing editor, who took care to help me identify everything that needed correction. Thank you for your spectacular illustrations, 029. The mini Kumayuru and Kumakyu are adorable. Thank you to everyone at the publisher, who worked so hard to get this book out there.

Let’s see each other again soon.
