Then, he suddenly climbed onto her back.

Upon seeing Xiong Er suddenly appear on her back, she immediately bared her teeth and grinned.

[Bear Two quickly tore off the hand warmer from her back and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."]

【"roar."】

[Tuanzi roared and stomped its foot heavily, knocking Xiong Er down.]

Then she realized that the burning pain in her body was truly gone.

She immediately beamed with joy, revealing her pearly white teeth.

[Bear Two chuckled憨憨地, "Look, you're so cute even when you're angry."]

The World of Boonie Bears - Bear Cave

"Big Bear, look."

"She...she's in so much pain..."

"It's all because of that nasty thing called 'warm baby'."

Looking at the ball of fur writhing in pain in the snow on the sky, Xiong Er revealed an expression full of heartache and worry.

When he saw his future self on the screen, he cleverly thought of using honey snowballs to attract Tuanzi's attention, and finally, bravely climbed onto her back and successfully tore off the heat pack that was causing her pain.

In the real world, Xiong Er revealed a simple and honest smile that was both proud and incredibly happy.

"hey-hey."

"My future self is quite smart, isn't she?"

"She's...quite brave."

He looked at the dumpling on the screen, which, after being praised by his future self, showed off its pearly white teeth and smiled happily.

On Xiong Er's face, a look of longing, anticipation, and a hint of... simple, loving, and utterly sincere expression appeared.

"Big Bear..."

He turned his head and looked at his older brother beside him, his big eyes seemingly sparkling with little stars.

"look……"

"My future self really, really saw her again."

"She...she's so pretty and cute."

"Although she can look a little fierce when she's angry."

"But...but in the end, she smiled at me."

"She must have recognized me, right?"

He felt his simple, honest heart was about to be completely melted by the bright smile of the little girl on the screen.

"I really hope..."

"I really hope that my future self can be like what happened in the video."

"It's great to see that polar bear I've been thinking about for so many years again."

"I...I have so much to say, so much honey, that I want to share with her."

Xiong Er revealed an expression full of firm determination. He felt that he had found the great goal that he had wanted to pursue most throughout his entire bear life.

[When Tuanzi heard his words, she seemed to pause for a moment, then turned and walked away.]

[Bear Two quickly chased after him, saying, "Big Bear, Big Bear, do you remember me? My name is Bear Two, what's yours?"]

But Tuanzi turned her face away and ignored him.

[Bear Two didn't give up and continued, "Big Bear, Big Bear, do you want some honey? Honey is delicious!"]

They walked until they reached a lake that had long since frozen over.

In front of them was a huge tree hollow.

[Bear Two exclaimed excitedly, "This is it! This is it! I fell from this very spot back then, and then... and then I met you!"]

But Tuanzi still ignored him.

Night fell quickly.

The little dumpling lay on its side in the pristine white snow, sleeping peacefully.

[Bear Two carefully crawled to her side, nestled against her warm, furry body, and fell asleep together.]

【the next day.】

[Bear Two is happily eating honey.]

After finishing his meal, he threw the empty can on the ground.

Then he saw that Tuanzi had also stuck its head into the small jar, seemingly wanting to eat the remaining honey inside.

Seeing this, Xiong Er made up his mind to give Tuanzi a jar full of honey to eat as well.

However, due to an accident, he was chased and stung all over by a swarm of angry wasps.

[While he sat alone on the hilltop, painfully pulling out thorns.]

[Tuanzi slowly walked over and pushed a huge honey snowball, which had been prepared for him beforehand, towards him.]

[Bear Two happily picked up the honey snowball, but it was just too heavy.]

He simply grabbed the snowball and rolled down the hillside.

Then, the giant honey snowball merged with his body.

He became like a turtle carrying a huge snow shell.

Seeing his comical appearance, Tuanzi imitated him and made a snowball shaped like a turtle shell on her own body.

The two of them happily played in the snow.

[Bear Two said happily, "Big Bear, from now on, I'll call you Tuanzi (Dumpling) 々."]

Not long after.

They arrived at a vast expanse of ice. Xiong Er put on some roller skates he'd found somewhere and, on the smooth ice, drew a huge, clumsy heart.

The world of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War

"ah--!"

"Look, look!"

"That guy named Xiong Er, he... he actually drew such a big heart-shaped pattern on such a large ice surface."

"This...this is definitely a confession."

Absolutely.

"After going through so much, he finally confessed his feelings to the beautiful polar bear."

As Fujiwara Chika gazed at the final, romantic scene on the sky, she wore an expression of extreme excitement and exhilaration. She felt as if she had stumbled upon the sweetest and most unique couple in the entire universe.

“…Oh dear, oh dear.”

"What a surprise."

"That seemingly honest and foolish Xiong Er is actually a hidden, self-taught master when it comes to 'love'."

Kaguya Shinomiya's face revealed an expression full of analysis and a hint of admiration, as if she were observing a top-level battle of wits in love taking place in another world.

"Look."

"From the initial 'persistent conversation' to 'revisiting familiar places' to awaken the other person's long-faded childhood memories."

"Furthermore, they use the 'being stung by a bee' ruse to gain the other party's sympathy and concern."

"Finally, by 'giving food' and 'playing together,' we can completely and thoroughly close the psychological distance between us..."

"This series of actions is like a textbook example, a perfect standard procedure for 'dating strategies'."

"That last bit of love is the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

"Without a doubt, he has completely captured the heart of that polar bear."

She flashed a confident smile, as if the outcome was already decided.

"...Indeed, very impressive."

"All his actions, though they seemed clumsy and even somewhat foolish."

"But they are all filled with the purest sincerity, without any impurities."

"It was this 'sincerity' that could melt ice and snow that finally moved that mythical white bear, whose heart was filled with vigilance and unease."

"That last heart... well, without a doubt, it's a confession."

"What a cute, clumsy, and irresistible confession!"

Shirogane Miyuki gave a rare, gentle smile that showed both admiration and a touch of emotion.

"...a popular bear..."

"Even bears are starting to fall in love."

"They even flaunted their affection so brazenly in front of everyone in the entire universe."

Yu Ishigami, who had been hiding in the corner, revealed an expression of despair, as if he had suffered a huge mental blow. He silently put on his headphones, not wanting to watch anymore.

...

The World of Lolo's Adventures

"……Wait a moment."

"Isn't this plot development... a little off?"

Looking at the two bears in the sky, happily rolling around in the snow and drawing hearts on the ice, Lolo wore an expression full of confusion and a hint of absurdity.

"I remember not long ago we were watching that show called Bald Qiang, about how he made mistakes, how he escaped, and how he became a hero, right?"

"How...how did the style suddenly change to...this?"

He felt as if he had suddenly switched from a high-octane police drama channel to a strange animal romance channel filled with pink bubbles.

"……love?"

"Those two...those two bears..."

"they……"

"I...I don't quite understand."

"But, looking at how they play together, it seems... they really are very, very happy."

The Thunderbolt beside it, with its metallic electronic eyes, also flashed complex data streams representing "logical chaos" and "incomprehensibility".

"...the forms of life are all different."

"But the instinct to seek 'companionship' and 'warmth' is perhaps something that all intelligent life shares."

The vanguard looked at the screen, revealing an expression filled with emotion and a hint of admiration.

"Although we are robots born of steel."

"And they are bears born in the forest."

"But the pure, mutual attraction, the warmth they show at this moment is real and incredibly moving."

"We...maybe we are truly witnessing the birth of a great love that transcends all species and barriers."

His voice was filled with the most sincere respect, as a veteran, for this kind of pure emotion.

[Bear Two played happily with Tuanzi for several days.]

That night, Xiong Er and Tuanzi slept side by side, as usual.

After falling asleep, he had another terrible dream.

He dreamt that Tuanzi was tightly bound by countless thick ropes, and then her snow-white body began to turn black, emitting angry roars.

Immediately afterwards, Tuanzi's entire body suddenly exploded, turning into countless white, cold fragments.
