-No One's P.O.V-

Right now, you and Yuna were outside the walls of Crimonia because the two of you were about to test out your skills.

Yuna: We should try out the new skills we earned after hunting down the goblin king.

(Y/N): Yeah. It's time show these bad boys on what we're made of.

Yuna: I'll try out using this one, it's called "Bear Summon".

Yuna then raises her right black bear glove until we see a pillar of light appearing from the heavens and then vanishes to see a black bear in front of you two.

Yuna: You're my summon beast?

Yuna asked the black bear until the creature turns around, revealing a cute face.

Black Bear: Kuma~!

Yuna: You're surprisingly big.

(Y/N): If we can tell about its size, I think this bear is probably around 9 feet tall if it's standing with its hind legs.

Yuna: I mean, that's just how bears are, right?

(Y/N): *Nods* Mmhm.

That is when Yuna's black bear starts snuggling her until you and Yuna start petting the black bear.

(Y/N): Wow, the black bear is really cute.

You said with an awed look on your face until the black bear starts turning around and sat down before turning its head back to Yuna.

(Y/N): I think it's telling us to ride it.

Yuna: Ride it? I'll go first.

Yuna said as he starts climbing up behind the black bear. Once climbing behind its back, the black bear starts getting up which caused Yuna to tumble and was about to fall, but not really.

Yuna: Huh? I'm not falling off?

(Y/N): What? Did this bear give you the option to defy gravity?

Yuna: I think so.

(Y/N): Mind if I try it out?

Yuna: Sure. Hey black bear, let me friend ride you, okay?

The black bear nods in response until Yuna hops off the black bear as you begin to climb up to the black bear's back to ride it.

You attempt to fall off on purpose, but it didn't.

(Y/N): Oh shit, this bear really defied gravity depending on what person is riding it!

You said with a slight shock on your face while Yuna was chuckling upon seeing your reaction.

Yuna: Hey (Y/N), do you have a summoning beast in your skill menu?

(Y/N): Oh yeah, I think I have one. *Hops off the Black Bear*

Yuna: I bet it's a wolf.

Yuna guessed with a smug on her face while you looked at her with a slightly annoyed face.

(Y/N): Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Yuna: You're welcome, Sergeant Sarcastic.

You let out a sarcastic laugh until you begin to pull up your skill menu and see the "Wolf Summon" skill.

(Y/N): Let's give this a shot.

You said until you begin snapping your fingers from your right hand until you and Yuna see a large white pentagram appear from the ground.

You, Yuna, and the Black Bear see a creature on all fours appear on the ground before it revealed itself to be a large white wolf.

(Y/N): Yup! This is my summon beast!

You said with proudness until the white wolf turns around and starts snuggling you with its head until you returned the affection back by petting its head.

Yuna then also joins in and starts petting it as well.

Yuna: I can tell that your summoned beast is like mine. You know, not falling off from its back?

(Y/N): Yeah. Say, why don't we go for a ride with our summoned beasts?

Yuna: *Nods* Mm, I'd love to!

...

And now, you and Yuna were riding on your summoned beasts on the road to test them out.

Yuna: Whoa, this is really nice~!

(Y/N): Yeah, it feels really comfortable. I can feel the wind gently breezing through us.

Yuna: Haha, yeah! Hey bear, can you run faster?

Black Bear: Kun~!

The Black Bear then lightly starts running until your large White Wolf also sped up a little faster to keep up with Yuna's Black Bear.

Yuna: What's this? Are you competing with me in a race?

(Y/N): Hey, this is not a race!

Yuna: Ehehe, I'm kidding~!

(Y/N): *Sigh* Oh you...

...

Not too long after the ride, you and Yuna got off your summoned beasts and put them.

Yuna: Good. Good. Thank you.

(Y/N): It was a fun ride!

Black Bear: Kun~!

White Wolf: Woof!

That is when the four of you hear the sound of growling until you and Yuna see two boars up front.

(Y/N): Two boars? We have to get rid of them.

You said in slight annoyance until the boars makes a huff from their noses.

Yuna: Yeah, and they're ready to fight.

That is when your White Wolf and Yuna's Black Bear start getting in front of you two as if they were defending you two.

Yuna: What's this?

(Y/N): Ooh, I think our summoned beasts are telling us that they'll handle it.

Yuna: Oh yeah, they protect their owners. Bear, attack them!

(Y/N): Go for it, Wolf!

Both you and Yuna command your summoned beasts to destroy the two boars.

Yuna's Black Bear and your White Wolf start growling at the two boars as they start to get scared.

The Black Bear used his left paw to send the first boar flying into the sky before falling to the ground and was killed instantly.

Yuna: *Hugs her Black Bear* You're pretty good!

The White Wolf then holds its ground and lets the boar crash its head toward the White Wolf's head. However, the White Wolf didn't move a budge before using its head to go under the boar and lifting it up to send it flying up the air.

Next, the White Wolf then jumps up high in the air to catch up to the second boar until its whole body starts spinning before sending itself down towards the second boar in mid-air and slicing it clean in half as it lands down perfectly on the ground with the second boar's sliced up half bodies falling to the ground.

(Y/N): Holy shit...!

Yuna: Did your wolf just do a mid-air spin and sliced that boar in half?!

(Y/N): Yeah! We saw it with our own eyes! I didn't know my own summoned beast can do that!

Yuna: Aw man, I'm jealous. But hey, let's not compare our own summoned beasts' power and abilities.

(Y/N): Yeah, we have our own flaws.

Yuna: That's what I like to agree with you, (Y/N).

(Y/N): *Nods and Smiles* Mmhm.

...

Yuna: We have now a pretty good idea about summoning beasts now. We should head back home soon.

Yuna says until she notices something on her skill description from her "Bear Summon" sill.

Yuna: Hm? The corresponding puppet...?

(Y/N): Maybe it's the white bear from your white left glove.

Yuna: I'll try it out.

Yuna then held out her left hand until she summoned a white bear.

Yuna: Oh, this one is white!

Yuna says with a surprised look on her face until the two of you see the white bear looking away and it had a sulking expression.

(Y/N): Huh? Your white bear is sulking and it's literally drawing on the ground.

Yuna: Maybe because I didn't summon it?

(Y/N): No, I don't think so. Your black bear was optimistic while this one looks moody. I think your summoned beasts have different personalities.

Yuna: I should try talking to it.

Yuna then walks up to the white bear and noticed that it was trying to look away from its own owner.

Yuna: Hey, what's the matter? Please don't look away! Oh, wait! Can you please take me back home?! So, will you cheer up for me?

Yuna pleaded while the white bear was letting out a quiet groan and it makes you chuckle upon seeing Yuna's interaction with her sulking white bear.

-Time Skip-

Later at sunset, you and Yuna rode back to Crimonia with your summoned beasts. You were riding your white wolf while Yuna was riding her white bear.

Yuna: *Sighs in relief* Thank goodness.

(Y/N): Hey, Yuna.

Yuna: What is it?

(Y/N): You should give them their names while I name my White Wolf.

Yuna: Oh, good idea!

-The Next Day-

The next day comes, you and Yuna introduced Fina your summoned beasts outside Crimonia.

Yuna: *Points at the Black Bear* This one is Kumayuru. *Points at the White Bear* And this one is Kumakyu.

Fina: I see...

Fina acknowledges Yuna's summoned bears until the little girl looks a the cute faces of Yuna's bears.

Fina: They're cute.

Yuna: Right? Not only are they cute, but they're also strong, too.

Fina: Ooh...Ah, what about yours, Big Bro (Y/N)?

(Y/N): This white wolf of mine is called Alphax!

Alphax: Bark~!

Alphax gently barked at Fina, but she got scared and still hides behind you and Yuna.

(Y/N): I know Alphax is scary, but she's quite friendly.

Yuna: Yeah, I can testify to that.

Fina: O-Okay...

Fina then walks up to the summoned beasts that were summoned by you and Yuna.

Fina: You three are amazing! Kumakyu! Kumayuru! Alphax!

Fina then starts petting Kumakyu and Kumayuru in the head before also petting Alphax.

Yuna: (I feel like (Y/N) and I I've become big siblings. No...more like Mama Bear and Papa Wolf.)

-Time Skip-

Time passes a little, (Y/N), Fina, and Yuna had their fun along with their summoned beasts to protect you three.

Yuna: We were able to hunt a lot because of Kumayuru, Kumakyu, and Alphax.

Fina: I was able to collect a lot of herbs too.

(Y/N): Hehe, with these guys on our side, nothing can stop us!

Yuna: Yeah, I can agree with that.

Fina: Oh! I should go back and start harvesting these!

Yuna: Oh, about that. I thought of something.

Fina: Huh?

-Mini Time Skip-

Later, You, Yuna, and Fina arrived at the Merchant Guild to have business with something.

Merchant Receptionist: Thank you for visiting the merchant guild. What business do you have with us today?

Yuna: We'd like to rent some land.

Merchant Receptionist: Yes. Please wait a moment.

(Y/N): (Odd. That woman doesn't seem shocked upon seeing me and Yuna's costumes. Maybe she's used to seeing weird people?)

You thought to yourself until the Merchant Receptionist places down the map of the Crimonia.

Merchant Receptionist: Please take a look. The land tends to get cheaper the farther away you are from the center of town, though it may be inconvenient.

Yuna: (An area close to Fina's house would be best. And it'd be nice and quiet with fewer people around...)

Yuna thought to herself until she picked the farthest area around the map.

Yuna: This land seems to be a good spot. Is the price negotiable?

Merchant Receptionist: What do you plan to use the land for?

Yuna: I'd like to build a house for myself and (Y/N).

Merchant Receptionist: *Leans in closer to you and Yuna* Excuse me for asking, but you are the Bloody Bear and Warrior Wolf, correct?

The Merchant Receptionist asked and this made Yuna annoyed at the nickname while Fina was confused about the whole thing until you start explaining things.

(Y/N): That's us. But "Bloody Bear" is Yuna's nickname that was given by some adventurers in the guild. "Warrior Wolf" is just my occupation as an adventurer.

Merchant Receptionist: Oh, I see. Ahem! My apologies for the sudden curiosity.

Yuna: Uh...it's fine.

Merchant Receptionist: Thank you very much for bringing in materials from monsters, like the goblin king and tiger wolf. As a representative of the merchant guild, please allow us to show our appreciation.

You, Yuna, and Fina looked at each other in confusion before speaking back to the Merchant Receptionist.

(Y/N): I'm sorry, but why are you thanking us for bringing the materials?

Fina: The merchant guild is used to sell items obtained by the adventurer guild.

Merchant Receptionist: That is correct. We keep a close eye on adventurers with a lot of potentials. Now, the land in question. I can use my authority to lower the price.

Yuna: Huh? Is that okay?

Merchant Receptionist: The more smoothly your work goes, the more beneficial it is for the guild.

Yuna: So, it benefits you as well?

Merchant Receptionist: Yes. And I personally wish to get close to you as well.

(Y/N): Get close to us?

Mirein: Sorry for the late introduction. I look forward to our future.

Mirein introduces herself as she offers you and Yuna a handshake. Yuna was surprised by this while you accepted the handshake from Mirein.

(Y/N): Well, it's nice to meet you, too.

Mirein: *Smiles* It will most definitely not be a loss for you.

-Mini Time Skip-

Later, You, Fina, and Yuna arrived at the location that Yuna had selected.

Yuna: As expected of someone from the merchant guild. She seems quite capable.

(Y/N): I'm pretty sure we just looked at our first impressions though. Nothing seemed too bad.

Fina: *Nods* Mm!

Yuna: Alright. Let's go build a house.

Fina: A house?

Yuna: Yeah. You two should stand back a bit.

You and Fina stepped back until the two of you watched Yuna kneeling with her palms pressed on the ground as she begins to think of something.

Yuna: (The things needed in a house. A kitchen, bath, toilet, a room for me and (Y/N), and...)

Yuna then looks up at Fina until she had one idea in her head.

Yuna: (Oh, I should probably have a good bear image in my head...)

That is when a glowing circle appears around Yuna's body as she begins to use her earth manipulation skill to create a three-story house.

Fina: Huh? Whaaat?!

(Y/N): Ooh~! That looks amazing~!

Yuna: This'll be me and (Y/N)'s house from now on. And I made a harvesting facility just for you, Fina!

Fina: Really?!

Yuna: *Nods* Mm! Follow me and I'll show you.

Yuna then leads you and Yuna to the harvesting facility which is inside Yuna's house.

The three of you arrived at the harvesting facility area, and it was a spacious room with two doors.

Fina was more amazed at the place she was given to work on harvesting inside Yuna's house.

Yuna: Please continue taking care of us, Fina.

Fina's eyes were watering before she smiled and said...

Fina: Yes!

(Y/N): (Hehe, there's that freaking smile.)

You thought to yourself with a smile on your face, but unknown to you all from the outside, there was someone peeking out behind the tree and looking directly at Yuna's house.

...

(A/N: That's that~! Stay tuned for episode 4~!)
