I want to be on duty with Nowa!
Nowa, a bear living in the forest, picks up a puppy.
He names it Iri and decides to raise it with care.
Despite the challenges of raising a child for the first time, Iri grows up to be an obedient and gentle child.
The two lived happily together, but Nowa had a problem....
It is almost time for Iri to go to hibernation, but she has not yet weaned herself from the baby!
Is it safe for him to be such a spoiled brat?
With uneasy feelings, we somehow managed to start hibernating for a few months.
When I woke up with a strange feeling in my chest... there was a big adult dog in front of me!
