U is for Universe in Danger ch11

Gyaaaah
Dorugaah

Wh-...
What was that...?

It's all quiet now...?
It appears they've left.

!!

Woah...
This is...

Dorugaaah!!

What is that...?
Gyaah
Ubobo~
Uwaaa
Who knows?
Maybe a bear that was hibernating for the winter woke up.

Never mind that. Now's our chance.
Let's hurry to the escape pods.
I've looked up where they are.

We've arrived.
This is it.

Good.
There's still one left.

Let's use this to escape.

O-...
Onee-chan...!

Help me...!

...Eh!?

You're...
from back then...?

!?

A bear!?

A bear with a torch...
Eh?
A torch!?

It's an unknown intelligent species.
Since it can use fire,
we can assume it has intelligence...
Doruru~

p10

BAOOOOOO!!

Kyah!

This is bad.
That's not an opponent I can fight.

p11

Even if I were to sacrifice myself to let Nuruka escape,
it'd catch up in no time from this distance.

Is there nothing I can do?
...No.

Hold on.
Something like this has happened before.

p12

I've faced up against wildlife several times bigger than myself
and made it out alive every time.
That's what Kuu Kubris' memories say.

...Kuu?
Nuruka.
Get in the escape pod.
But...

p13

Hurry.

...Okay,
Kuu.

p14

Hey, you...
The little sister-like thing over there.

Use this chance
to run away.
Slowly.

p15

Onee-chan...
Thank you...!

I'm in the pod.
It's safe inside.

Get it ready to set off as soon as possible.
Got it,
Kuu.

p16

I knew it.
It's matching my movements.

Just gotta adjust my position
a little at a time
and get in the escape pod...!

p17

Hah~
Splendidly done, Kuu.
We're off.

p18

Presently,
this species has no name.

It's only known as "bear that discovered fire".

A species born from a bear on a parallel world
discovering fire all on its own.

p19

Bears were rather intelligent creatures to begin with,
so it wouldn't be all that strange for one to discover fire.

Besides that, they're no different from regular bears,
so they act like bigshots in the intelligent species industry.
It is in your best interests not to speak too familiarly with them.

p20

I've made a habit of saying this at times like these, so I'll ask.
Where would you like to land, Kuu?

As close to home as possible...

Are you sure? You have the chance to land anywhere you want, y'know?
Just land us normally...

p21

Earth...
looks fine.
In what way?

I was worried about it after using the World Shuffler.
It was just an instant,
so it shouldn't have had much of an effect.

The World Shuffler's area of effect is contained within a sphere around the point of activation.
It loses its effect the further out you go.
You say that, but still...

p22

There's still plenty of energy
so we can use it two or three more times.
Don't.

I don't wanna go
through that again.

Please don't activate it ever again.
If you say so, Kuu.

p23

Thank goodness...
We're home safe and
sou-...

!?

?

What's wrong?
B-
B-
Bear.

p24

Huh?
Ah.
Ah.
My foot!

The area of effect must've been wider than I thought.
Don't act like this isn't your problem!
Heh...

Uwaah!?

p25

Eh... Who is it...?
Who can say?

Y-
Yes...?

Heh?

p26

...What have you done,
Kuu Kubris?

Why is my body all flowery!?
Eh?
Erm...

Who might you be?
Gaooo!!
It's me!
Codeweiner Sumire!

p27

Good evening,
Kuu Kubris and Nurunuru.

Used the World Shuffler, I take it?

We did, but...
what happened?

p28

All of humanity
turned into bears.
!?
