Chapter 179.2 - Hayama Relight



Chapter 179.2 - Hayama Relight

This bear, despite its comical appearance, was considerably taller and bigger than me, and with a simple slap, it could practically one-shot me to death.

I, a mere human, have little chance in front of a bear with its teeth bared as though menacing me.

Oh, right, I've to play dead at a time like this.

This was the 3rd flash of genius inspiration.

Yes, when it comes to the sure-fire method to deal with the situation where you're attacked by a bear, playing dead was the most obvious choice all over the world.

G-Guah I'm dead

Thus, I performed with my god-like acting ability in the last moment of my life and produced a realistic death act. Thus, I slowly fell to the ground and shut my eyes tightly.

With this, even the otherworldly bear should've understood that I was already dead.

Look, your prey is already dead you know. Now it's time for you to leave shush

Pugugu.

I could feel the breathing of the bear near my face. Wa-Was this guy checking whether I really dead or not!?

Ple-Please forgive me

.

I had to endure it at a time like this, I was desperately holding my breath while feeling the hard touch of the bear's nose on mine.

Please, please overlook me just this time!

Lick!

HYAAAA!?

Crap, I ended up screaming after the bear licked my face

Pukuku.

Wha-What are you laughing about

My perfect playing dead got disturbed because the bear was licking my face.

In front of me whose eyes snapped open was the bear who was laughing as if mocking my acting.

Da-Dammit just kill me now! Here, feel free to eat me!

Humans truly become desperate when they're cornered like this.

The bear shouldn't be able to understand my remark, but still, I shouted at it.

Just eat me now! Here, I'm ready!

Pukuku w-won't eat.

AH?

I won't eat you.

I-IT SPOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?

A certain day in the forest. I met a talking bear.

Ahahaha, what the heck, you turned out to be such a nice guy!

Pukuku, nice guy.

On the nearby fallen tree, the bear and I were sitting together in the trunk of the fallen tree, it was a genuine first friendly encounter.

As expected of another world of magic. Never expected that Id encounter a talking bear on the first day I arrived in this world.

I'm, talking.

Though it spoke in broken tongue, like that of a suspicious foreigner, I was surely talking with a bear. Though my ears clearly captured them barking at me, strangely enough, the meaning of their words appeared in my mind in the Japanese language.

So, in accordance with what I heard, the bear had no intention to attack me, it approached me since it thought that it had found a strange fella that it had never seen before. WTF, couldn't you see this gentleman here is a refreshing and handsome fella? Well, not that I expect the bear from another world would ever understand the charm of Japanese youth.

Anyhow, if we could talk in Japanese, it means that we could understand each other.

My name is Hayama Relight, what about you?

I, have, no name.

What, seriously?

Only, boss, can have name.

Hee, that must be a harsh pack, isn't it? Well, I feel ya, I guess no matter which world it is, underling gets it hard.

Even when I was working part-time in a family restaurant, I got ordered around by another worker called the part-time leader who wasn't even a full-time worker. Looking at future prospects between a high school student and freeter, the former was definitely much better, thus I thought that we were going to be treated nicely.

Can't go back, to the pack.

Oh, so you're a stray child eh. Since that's the case, come with me.

I, lost against the boss. Have to, leave the pack. I'm fine, by myself.

Ah, I remember watching the same kind of story on a documentary channel back when I was still a child.

Fighting for the boss seat happened among animals that formed packs, and in most cases, the loser never ended well. And unlike human society, the safety net didn't exist in the wild.

I see, it must be hard on you whoops, we can't stay negative here! We've to be positive in this kind of situation. Look, nothing ties you down right now, you're free! Screw boss of pack, you're a lone wolf!

I'm, a wolf?

You ain't a wolf

I mean, bears didn't even live in a pack, to begin with. Or else, their ecology might just be different in another world.

Anyhow, things are going to be troublesome if you don't have a name, do you want me to choose a cool name for you?

Name.

Yes, you want a name, right? I just happen to be really good at choosing one.

I want, a name. Please, give me, a name, Relight.

Leave it to me, Pal. Here we go, your name is

There's a saying "Name that suits one's nature". Just like this handsome me who named Relight was the personification of my greatness. As expected of my parent. I could reassure you that my name had nothing to do with popular manga at that time. [TL: For some reason, I got this feeling that it has something to do with popular manga.]

Anyhow, now it's time to give a wonderful name to this bear.

Though I met an extremely desperate and hopeless situation when I just met this fella, I calmed down a lot after talking to him. The me who was sobbing until a while ago looking like an idiot had now calmed down and reflected on it.

That's why I was definitely going to give this fella a really cool name to repay the debt.

Though this fella had a short and stout build like a certain bear in cartoons, it didn't change the fact that he was a real bear. Since that was the case, his name must sound wild, and powerful. Moreover, after being chased out from the pack, this fella had literally turned into an isolated man. So I wanted to give him the image of a lonely man too.

And if we add the fact that this fella's fur was light brown

Your name is Kinako!

Kinako

Yes, Kinako!

This light brown color was definitely that of kinako. Add to it the fact that he's somewhat roundish.

I felt like this name was slightly different from what I had envisioned, but since this name suited him the most appearance-wise-, I guess it would be all right. After all, my naming skills were awesome.

I'm, Kinako. Nice, Kinako, is a good name.

It's good that you like this name.

Maybe because he was really delighted, Kinako's body was fidgetting restlessly. Moreover, his rabbit ears were moving non-stop. The sight of him showing his delight from the depth of his heart was truly an adorable spectacle.

So Kinako, what are you going to do after this?

I'll go, on a journey, alone. Maybe, leave the forest.

Oooh, seriously!? You're going to leave this forest!

The forest, is wide. And outside, is even, bigger, or so they said.

I see, well it's natural that the outside world that youve never seen before is bigger!

And then, there might be a human habitation outside of this forest. If that was the case, I could be free of the trouble of thinking about how to survive tomorrow.

And if I came with Kinako, well, we might be able to earn some change of money by doing a street performance.

I, will go. See ya, Relight.

He stood from the trunk of the dead tree with a regretful look on his face, but Kinako kept walking toward the outside of the forest with determined eyes.

Ah, Wa-Wait for me! Wait for me Kinako-chan, I'll go with you!

If we really parted ways here, both of us would definitely be alone again. Most of all, Kinako wanted to leave this forest.

Not that I had any other choice than to follow him!

Relight, want to, go to?

Yes, Kinako! Let's see the outside world along with me!

That was the beginning of my journey with a talking bear called Kinako.
