Sensei, please don't die!

Sensei!

Looks like I'll be going home soon.

I will leave a parting message to you all,

and that is..

Eh?

--That is why you cannot give up..

Teacher!

It's so sad!

♬～

Hey, what do you think you're doing?!

I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!

Did you get it dirty?

You black bears are very clumsy, geez.

- But I'm a brown bear.. - Hurry and pick them up!

We have to sell these.

Higuma!

How about some delicious salmon?

It's good..

This is bad, this time of the year is bad for me..

I want to hibernate so bad..

Hey, bear! Get on your feet! You're not going home if we don't sell all of these!

I also have plans to go out for snacks at 8 with my mom. So raise your damn voice!

How about some salmons?! It's delicious! Follow my lead!

How about some salmon?! They're delicious!

How about some salmon naturally caught by black bears?!

- I'm a brown bear.. - Black bear? Gotcha!

- By black bears.. - Caught in the river!

- It was caught in the river. - Naturally caught salmons!

- Naturally.. Naturally caught salmons.. - How about some of them?!

Higuma!

How about some salmons? Some delicious salmons!

Natural river caught salmons by black bears!

Shimadera-san?

I also have plans to go out for snacks at 8 with my mom.

- Eek! - My bad, it must be hot.

Warm yourself up. Drink this.

Thank you.

You bears like honey, correct?

It was hard to find a honey flavored one,

I had to go to a vending machine far away, is it good?

Yes. It's delicious.

When you're done with that, you can go home.

Eh?

I know how hard it must be for you bears to go and catch all these salmon.

So to sell these is our job.

Sorry for not knowing better about your hibernation period.

♬～

How about some salmons?! Some salmons?!

Natural caught salmons, how about it?!

How about some salmon naturally caught by black bears?!

How about some?!

How about some salmon naturally caught by black bears?!

You don't have to do this. How about some salmons?!

- How about some salmons?! - How about some delicious salmons?!

- How about some delicious salmons?! - What is your name anyway?!

My name is..

Ah, the wagon!

Ah! You idiot!

In the end, we didn't sell everything.

But since we both worked so hard, the company doesn't have to know..

that I brought back some salmon fillet!

I'll cook this for breakfast.

♬～

My winter eyes were doing its magic earlier.

This sucks.

Kuma.. Maiku.. (He's doing Shiritori with himself)

Ku.. kuma.. Masuku..

Ku..

That person just now threw a can into the burnable garbage bin.

He should at least throw it in the right bin.

Where could it be?

Yes, the bear! The bear is rummaging through the park's garbage bin!

♬～

At around 11 AM, a brown bear was seen rummaging through the park's garbage bin for food.

- What?! - You look pale, Noriko.

The bear has been captured and brought to a shelter.

- Should we go to the infirmary? - I'm going to the animal shelter.

Animal shelter?

I'm so sad.

Right now,

I just want to eat pudding. That would be great~

- Why do you not understand? - Please wait a moment!

That bear was only picking up an empty can.

Yes, I know, but..

He would never do such a thing.

But bears are dangerous animals!

He is not a bear!

Then what is it?

It's a huge dog!

Ah.

♬～

I'm sorry!

Kuribayashi-san, you must think of me as a huge dog.

Ah, no. You just somehow look like it.

And also because there's this negative image of bears being dangerous.

Ah, that's true indeed.

Ah, wait a moment!

If it's okay, can you tell me your name? I didn't hear it last time.

Ah, my name is..

Eh?

♬～

Kuribayashi-san, thank you for saving me.

Mr. Bear?

I'm thanking you with this honey. Please eat it if you want to.

By the way, do I really look like a huge dog?

Do I look like a Siberian Husky?

Maybe a Saint Bernard?

I'd be happy if I were a Golden Retriever.

He would be happy, huh?

On June,

there seems to be no public holidays.

That's sad.

He forgot to

switch on the rice cooker.

Morning has come in the forest.

The animals has started to move.

The young brown bears has waken up from their sleep.

The first thing the brown bears do is check their mailbox for checks.

It is a bit frightened.

Why would the brown bears be afraid of merely checking the mail?

Ah, you're here, Dori-jii.

Because right now, the brown bear is reading a dunning note.

Is that so?!

Correct. Even a bear must pay taxes, it would be tax evasion if they didn't.

This sucks!

What's happened? He looks a bit pleased.

He seems to have found a leaflet for a sushi restaurant.

Brown bears like salmons the best.

What is he starting to do?

Salmon!

It wants to feel close to the salmon,

so the bear pasted the leaflet into the wall.

This is one of its behavior.

Salmon!

What could it be doing this time?

Let's take a look.

It seems to be arranging receipts.

It has to be strict on its finances as the end of the month is approaching.

It must be hard to survive, huh?

Today is election day.

It has come to the polling location.

Wow, even bears get to vote?

Hm? It seems to be leaving the polling location.

Could it be over?

Nope. It cannot vote because it's a bear.

That's why they're driving him away.

And now, a young woman has come.

The brown bear's friend, Kuribayashi-san.

We will have to turn down the bear's vote.

Eh?

Kuribayashi-san seems to carrying something.

That's..

She wanted to give him a chance to vote too!

Kuribayashi-san is worried for the brown bear, it seems.

What did the brown bear write?

♬～

You are a hardworking person.

♬～

Night has come for the forest.

At the end of the day, the bear makes food for itself.

It's just water, what will it put in the water?

Truthfully, it is making curry.

What?! It's just water and sauce?

It has no ingredients! That must be sad for him.

No, that is not true.

To the brown bear, it is delicious.

So delicious!

I'm so happy!

Know happiness as much as you know sorrow.

Collecting mushrooms at this time of the year sure feels good.

Would Kuribayashi-san be happy if I were to share this with her?

Ouch!

This sucks!

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.. I'm sorry.

- Mommy! - "Mommy"..?

Mommy!

Are you okay? Are you okay?

- Woah! It's a bear! - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

I was only collecting mushrooms.

Mushrooms?

What could a young boy like you be doing here?

We were climbing the mountain when we got separated.

Is that so?

Could you be lost too, Mr. Bear?

Ah, no. My father and mother..

they're both in heaven.

I.. I'm sorry.

It's okay. Let's look for your parents together.

(Both) Papa! Mama!

Papa! Mama! Where are you?!

Papa! Mama!

Papa! Mama! Where are you?!

You're shouting louder than me, amazing.

BIG SISTER!!

Your sister, too?!

Thank you, Mr. Bear!

Ah, what's your name, Mr. Bear?

Ah, my name is..

- It's a snake! - Eh?

Mr. Bear, are you okay?

Yes, I am.

Are you hungry?

You can eat my bento if you want.

No, it's okay. I have my own.

Are you certain? My bento..

is a wiener bento, you know?

Let's share our bentos, okay?

Umm..

Okay.

♬～

I'm so tired. I can't walk anymore!

Don't give up. There are wild boars around here.

Are boars any different than bears?

They're different. Boars are this big!

Kyaa! That bear is attacking Masato!

Wait, you're wrong! You misunderstand!

Hey! Get away from Masato!

Are you okay?! Are you okay?1

Papa, mama! You're wrong!

The bear! The bear saved--

- You're fine? That's such a relief.. - That's great, isn't it?

You're not hurt, right? That's such a relief.

I'm sorry, you were so scared, right?

Don't let go of our hand next time, okay? Let's go together.

Come on, let's go with mom too.

♬～

To Mr. Bear.

Thank you for saving me the other day.

I'm sorry if my parents mistook you for a bad bear.

I'll leave this here as a thank you. From: Masato.

♬～

Ouch..

Higuma!

The river sure is flowing fast today.

Let's do some warm up exercises.

Alright!

Ah..

Aah! Aaaaah!

♬～

This sucks.

Higuma!

Nice weather today!

Time to go shopping!

In that moment, a man has come to the forest where the young brown bear is living.

And the name of that man is: Bear Hunter Gonzou.

This man has hunted over 300 bears. People call him the grim reaper of bears.

There's a bear here.

Shopping~ Shopping~

The young bear who knows nothing,

Ah, I forgot my shopping bag.

This sucks!

nearly met its end by the hands of Gonzou.

It's not there anymore?

Higuma!

We will be making some reforms,

from today, the time you finish work has been brought forward one hour.

Here are documents about our working hours.

Everyone, be sure to read it carefully.

Looks like I'll be leaving one hour earlier than usual.

Higuma!

Sweet Potato - 200 Yen

..Half Sweet Potato - 100 Yen

Ahaha! I did it!

Thank you!

♬～

It's sho ghood~

Higuma!

It's cold.

I must have won something, just one more push!

"Ah, you were so enthusiastic.."

This sucks!

Higuma!

It seems to be soft cream ice cream, it looks good!

It won't come off.

Hehehehe.

Higuma!

Today we will be having a look at the home of a wealthy director.

What treasures will she have?

Have a look! These all look expensive!

For example, how much is this?

You are very unsophisticated, aren't you?

- An object's value is not its true price. - I apologize.

It's my big brother.

- Be careful, these are expensive. - Ah, pardon me.

- It's 30 million yen by the way. - 30 million?!

- In the end, it's pricy.. - Hm?

Higuma!

The river sure is flowing fast today.

But I won't fall down and get swept away again.

I'm sure I won't, I have this good luck key holder to protect me!

Ah.

Aaaaah! Aaaaaaah!

This house looks quite nice.

* No bears are allowed. * Pets are allowed with previous consultation.

Damn it.

♬～

Mom! I want one more salmon sushi!

Ta-kun, salmon is good isn't it?

If it's salmon, then eat as much as you want!

Here.

- I'm digging in! - However,

you can't eat the sushi served on black and yellow plates, okay?

Yes, I understand!

Mr. Bear!

- Kuribayashi-san? - What are you doing here?

The truth is, I was given coupons by my senior,

I was thinking of using them up today.

Urchins~ Tunas~ How much can I get~

Yellowtails~ Kohadas~ Salmon~

- We're raising funds! - Please donate to us!

- [Continues Singing] - Please donate to us!

- For the sake of their futures, please lend us a hand! - Lend us a hand!

There are kids with no homes out there, or food either!

- Please donate to us! - Please donate to us!

Please!

- Thank you! - Thank you!

So you're telling me you gave (Japanese) vouchers for kids outside the country?

Yes, they don't have homes nor food!

Geez!

- Come with me, I still haven't had lunch. - Eh?

Getting alone would be embarrassing, so let's get in together.

- Is that okay? - Hehe, it's fine.

Mr. Bear, you can eat whatever you want.

Eh?! Does that mean I can eat salmon too?

Naturally.

I would like to order! I would like to have salmon sushi!

Ah, Mr. Bear, you use this tablet to order your sushi.

This tablet?

♬～

I would like to order! I would like some salmon sushi!

- That's now how you do it.. - I would like to have salmon!

Gotcha! Salmon sushi coming right up!

- Wow, he actually took his order. - I see, that's how you do it.

- Wait, no! That's not how.. - Amazing!

I'm digging in!

♬～

This is amazing!

I'm glad he got to eat here.

Seeing a customer happy like that truly warms my heart as the cook.

Sugawara-san, are you not a part timer?

- Lend a hand in the kitchen! - Understood.

Good morning!

- Here you go~ - Thank you!

Higuma!

I was so glad I had salmon.

♬～

Look south-south-east, and turn my head up slightly.

Swallow it all at once quietly for good luck..

Just a bit..

Delivery!

Are you not home? I have a delivery!

Coming!

This should be good.

I hope they're not scared of me when they see me now.

The weather sure is great today!

♬～

The food is also good today! Today is great!

I'm sorry!

On today's bad luck bears,

No matter what I do, I'm awful. I'm not very lucky today.

This is sad.

A bear will come out?

Damn it, I've been unlucky today.

I'm lucky today!

A bear?!

..right? I'll die if it eats me.

I'm lucky today!

"Say that out loud."

"Once you do that, your luck will improve."

I wonder what will improve?

It's a book on better fortune? Bears can read, too?

"A smile will bring in good luck."

A smile? A smile.

A smile.

That's stiff!

"Recite everything good that has happened to you."

A good thing? A good thing..

Ah!

There has been no thunder this week!

This week..

Be sure to thank anything, and your luck will improve.

Being thankful, being thankful.

Ah!

I'll cling into this tree!

Mr. Tree, thank you!

Mr. Tree?

Mr. Dirt, thank you for letting me step on you!

Mr. Dirt?

Thanks for the great weather, Mr. Sky?

The moment he said that it started to get cloudy..

Damn, the laundry is still drying!

Is... Is he okay?!

I lived.

Thank you, Mr. Lightning!

What?

Thanks so much~!

This guy can't be serious.

Ah, the laundry.. I have to get home quickly..

♬～

Time to go home myself.

♬～

Yo! Ahaha!

I must hurry! I must hurry!

At that moment, a person has infiltrated the forest the brown bear is living in.

He has become one with the forest and awaits for his prey's approach.

The Hunter is known as: Bear Hunter Gonzou.

I must hurry! I must hurry!

He will not let his prey escape once he sets his eye on them.

However, he is very much afraid of thunder.

I must hurry!

Thank you~! I must hurry.

I'm not very good at handling Christmas.

It reminds me of a bear bell, and it always catches me off guard.

Here you go, Merry Christmas! Here you go~

Santa Claus is working.

That's sad.

Take this.

♬～

I'm so drowsy. I really want to hibernate.

The river being ice cold isn't helping.

I must hold on, because tomorrow..

Do you want to come and have a Christmas party with me too, Mr. Bear?

I'll prepare some sukiyaki for you.

Sukiyaki!

Ah!

How about some salted salmon?!

How about some naturally salted salmon?!

- How about some salted salmon?! - How about some naturally salted salmon?!

Sukiyaki..

How about some sukiyaki? Delicious sukiyaki.

- Hey.. - How about some delicious sukiyaki?

- Hey. - We're selling salted salmon.

Pardon me.

Take this.

He's late.

Honey~ Sukiyaki~

At that moment, a person has made him their prey.

It is the legendary huntsman: Bear Hunter Gonzou.

All with Kuribayashi-san~

Here you go.

A Christmas with her~

♬～

[Gasps]

I hope Mr. Bear can arrive here safely and have a party with me.

♬～

Merry Christmas.

Grant Mr. Bear divine protection.

I hope the bear has a good Christmas.

- All the best to the bear. - Merry Christmas!

Ugh.. I fell over..

Ah, my apologies.

The noise of the bell surprised me.

If it makes you happy,

take this.

A Christmas with honey and sukiyaki~

♬～

(ﾁｬｲﾑ)

Here he comes! I'm coming!

Merry Christmas, Kuribayashi-san!

Merry Christmas!

Eat the meat too, here.

Here.

Here!

- This much is okay?! - Yep!

♬～

I'm so happy!

I'm so glad I called him over to eat!

What's wrong?

- I'm sad. - Eh?

The fact that this happy moment will end,

it makes me really sad..

I'm so sad..

Oh yeah, would you tell me your name?

My name is..

- It's hot! It's hot! - Are you okay?!
