Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Novel Vol. 13
UNBEARABLE HEAT
A quest from the king sends Yuna to a new area: a desert! She heads to the town of Dezelt with the kraken’s mana stone in tow. The desert is terribly hot and vast, but it’s nothing she can’t handle with the help of Kumayuru, Kumakyu, and her OP bear gear! Once she gets there, the town’s citizens have another task for her… Yuna has no time to just kick back her paws in this volume!
Series Overview: Fifteen-year-old Yuna prefers staying home and obsessively playing her favorite VRMMO game to doing anything else, including going to school. When a strange new update gives her a one-of-a-kind bear outfit that comes with overpowered abilities, Yuna is torn: the outfit is unbearably cute, but too embarrassing to wear in-game. But then she suddenly finds herself transported into the world of the game, facing down monsters and magic for real, and the bear suit becomes the best weapon she has!
