Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Novel Vol. 14
A SEASIDE RETREAT
After saving the town of Dezelt, Yuna returns home to Crimonia and it’s time to plan that beach trip! This bear’s got her paws full between making ice cream, designing swimsuits, and getting all those people to the shore! As it turns out, more people want to go for a swim than originally expected. Can Yuna figure out how to get everyone there so the crew can have a beary good time in the sun?
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!
