Takumi is about to respond when he gets startled by a cold breath on his neck. He wakes up instantly to see the one thing no traveler ever wants to see. An Ussuri brown bear.

The bear attacks him and starts to claw at him. If Takumi panics the bear would do great harm so he springs into action and grabs his sword to defend himself. The bear and Takumi attack each other to see who will come out on top as the victor. After some bites and pokes, Takumi uses his strength to throw the bear off him which makes the bear scurry back into the woods.
