Chapter 572

Bear-san, Gives Fina’s Present, Royal Capital Edition Part 1
We arrived at the capital through the bear gate.
Mumroot-san and Ruimin looked around curiously, alternating between the inside of the bear house and the elven forest.
I closed the doors and repatriated Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. Shuri and Ruimin looked disappointed, but as expected, we could not take them with us around the city.
Then we went outside the bear house.
“We’re really in the royal capital.” (Mumroot)
Mumroot-san was curiously gazing at the towering castle.
And then he looked behind him.
“It seems that you’ll always be a bear, no matter where you go.” (Mumroot)
He said slyly while looking at the bear house.
“Hey, Fina-chan. More importantly, is Yuna-san’s house in the town where you and the others also live in a bear shaped house?” (Ruimin)
“Yes. It’s a bear-shaped house.” (Fina)
“It’s a cute bear shaped house.” (Shuri)
“Yuna, you really like bears, don’t you?” (Ruimin)
When she said it so clearly, I wanted to deny it, but I couldn’t because when I looked at the bear puppets, I saw the faces of Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, whom I had just repatriated.
So my response was…
“What’s wrong with liking bears?” (Yuna)
“No, nothing at all. I also like bears after all.” (Ruimin)
“Me too! I love bears too!” (Shuri)
“Yes, so do I.” (Fina)
When Ruimin said that, Shuri and even Fina agreed.
“Just to let you know, if you meet a bear other than Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, don’t approach or even try to touch it.” (Yuna)
Once again, I must correct their perception of bears here.
Wild bears are dangerous animals. Carelessly approaching one can be fatal.
“The bears that show up in the village are good kids though.” (Ruimin)
Oh yeah, I remember her saying that. Although, I’ve never met them before.
But such bears are rare.
“The bears at the honey tree were nice.” (Fina)
Even Fina made such remarks.
Indeed, the bears in the honey tree were good.
There was too little info to suggest that bears were dangerous. On the contrary, there were more evidence that bears were not as dangerous as people thought.
Perhaps bears in this world were not dangerous?
Even if they do, not all bears are good bears.
“Anyway, nothing will happen if we keep standing here. Let’s go to Sanya-san.” (Yuna)
I broke off the conversation and started walking towards the Adventurers’ Guild.
“Everybody’s staring.” (Ruimin)
Ruimin looked around and spoke up.
“I’m sure it’s because Ruimin is so cute.” (Yuna)
“No, I don’t think so.” (Ruimin)
Ruimin denied it.
“Then it’s because Fina and Shuri are adorable.” (Yuna)
“I don’t think that’s it either.” (Fina)
“I don’t think so too.” (Shuri)
Fina and Shuri also denied it.
“Then they’re looking at Mumroot-san?” (Yuna)
“No, I don’t think so.” (Mumroot)
All of them rejected the notion.
“Because everyone is looking at us saying “Bear?” “Bear?” “Bear?” “Bear-san?” “Bear-san?”…” (Ruimin)
I know, I know. I can hear them.
I just wanted to escape from reality, you know.
In Crimonia, people were less surprised when I walked around town, but in the capital, where I don’t come often, the bear outfits still attract unwanted gazes.
The least we could do was not be surrounded.
I put on my bear hood to hide my face and hurried to the Adventurer’s Guild.
And somehow, without being surrounded, we arrived safely at the Adventurers’ Guild.
“Ah, the adventurer’s guild, this place hasn’t changed either.” (Mumroot)
How long has it been since Mumroot-san last came here that it hasn’t changed?
With these thoughts in mind, I entered the Adventurers’ Guild building.
“There are a lot of people.”
“It’s crowded.”
It was early in the morning, and there were many adventurers looking up requests or working their side gigs as receptionists. Thanks to this, when I entered the Adventurers’ Guild, no one looked at the entrance.
“Now then, what shall we do?” (Yuna)
We can’t just go in the back and see Sanya-san without permission.
It would take a long time to get in the queue at the reception desk. As I look towards the reception desk, I happen to make eye contact with the receptionist.
“Bear-san!” (Receptionist)
When the receptionist said that, some of the adventurers who heard her reacted.
From “Bear?” to “The bear is here” to “That bear?” to “Bloody bear!” and not missing “Oh, she’s so cute” and even a “What’s with the outfit?” reaction.
Those who know me and those who don’t know me have different reactions.
I knew this was going to be a pain, so I spoke to that receptionist.
“We need to see Sanya-san, can we meet her? If you tell her that her younger sister and her grandfather are here, I think she’ll understand.” (Yuna)
With those words, the adventurers reacted even more.
“Guildmaster’s grandpa and sister are here?”
“Oh, my, her sister is cute, unlike the Guildmaster.”
“But I think she’s going to grow up to be as beautiful as Guildmaster though.”
The onlookers were just saying whatever they wanted.
If Sanya-san heard about this, she’d kill them.
The receptionist looked at Mumroot-san and Ruimin behind me and stood up.
“Are you Guildmaster’s family members? Please wait a moment!” (Receptionist)
The receptionist started dashing towards the back room.
It was a brilliant side entrance. Well, I’m just going to have them call you, right?
Besides, if they don’t call her soon, we’re going to cause a lot of trouble.
Without such concern, the receptionist went to the back of the room, and immediately Sanya-san came from the back, as if in a hurry.
“Ojii-chan, and Ruimin too.” (Sanya)
“Oneechan!” (Ruimin)
Ruimin happily hugged Sanya-san.
“What are you doing here?” (Sanya)
“Missy brought us here.” (Mumroot)
“Yuna-chan? Ah!” (Sanya)
She looked convinced of something.
“Let’s go to my room, for now, it’s too conspicuous here.” (Sanya)
I agree with that. My outfit had been attracting a lot of attention, and the appearance of the Guildmaster’s relatives has attracted even more attention.
Sanya-san glared at the adventurers.
“You guys, go to work, or you’ll regret it.” (Sanya)
Sanya-san grinned and made a nasty smile.
At that moment, the adventurers began to move in a flurry.
Seeing the adventurers in motion, Sanya-san smiled with satisfaction.
“Okay, you guys come over here.” (Sanya)
Sanya-san invited us into the back room as if nothing had happened.
“So, why did you come here all of a sudden?” (Sanya)
As a birthday present for Fina, I explained that we went to the elf village using the bear gate.
“Etto, Fina-chan. It was your birthday?” (Sanya)
“Yes.” (Fina)
“Happy birthday.” (Sanya)
“Thank you.” (Fina)
“And, why did you come here to the capital, Ojii-chan, Ruimin?” (Sanya)
“I’ve been in Mumroot-san’s care before, so I thought I’d thank him and let him see you Sanya-san for the first time in a long time.” (Yuna)
I also plan to take them to the Land of Harmony and Dezereto.
“It’s been a long time, you say? It hasn’t even been six months since we last met, let alone a year.” (Sanya)
This is why the elves are so…
I can only sigh.
How long should it be for an elf to say, “I haven’t seen you in a while”?
“Oneechan, are we bothering you?” (Ruimin)
Sanya-san shook her head at Ruimin’s words.
“No, you’re not. It’s nice to see you. And you, of course, you too, Ojii-chan.” (Sanya)
For Sanya-san, Mumroot-san is like an extra, but in reality, Ruimin is the extra this time.
“You seem to be doing your job well.” (Mumroot)
“Of course, I do. That’s why I’m not going back to the elf village just yet.” (Sanya)
“I understand.” (Mumroot)
The three haven’t talked since the Sacred Tree incident.
Not wanting to disturb the three who had not seen each other in a while, we decided to leave the room.
“Fina, Shuri, I’ll take you to see the city, while Mumroot-san and Ruimin have fun with Sanya-san.” (Yuna)
“Oneechan. Are you okay with your work?” (Ruimin)
Ruimin looks at the stacks of paper on the desk.
It may be her work.
“I’ll at least make time for you two since you’re here. We can spend at least the morning together.” (Sanya)
Ruimin looks happy at those words.
“Thank you, Yuna-chan, for bringing both of them together.” (Sanya)
Sanya-san happily thanked me.
If they were happy, then I’m glad I brought them.
Me, Fina, and Shuri left the room and returned to the reception area.
Perhaps because of Sanya-san’s words earlier, the number of adventurers decreased.
As expected of the station of a guildmaster.
As we were about to leave the Adventurer’s Guild, a large-bodied adventurer wearing black armor stood in front of me, blocking our path.
“Yuna-oneesan.” (Fina)
“Yuna-oneechan.” (Shuri)
Fina and Suri, who were on my left and right, grabbed my bear suit.
I immediately tried to protect them.
“As I thought, it’s you Missy.” (Man)
The man laughed.
“You.” (Yuna)
I recognize this man.
“Etto, back in the desert… Like, with Jade-san… Uh, uh…” (Yuna)
I remember his face.
But I’m almost up to my throat, but I can’t find the name.
The man who pushed Karina. The man who took down the sandworms.
“U, Uu…” (Yuna)
That’s all I got.
“It’s Uragan.”
“Right, Uragan.” (Yuna)
The adventurer who accompanied me to the pyramids in Dezerto.
“It’s been a while.” (Uragan)
“Indeed. I rarely come to the capital after all.” (Yuna)
And so, I met Uragan for the first time since Dezerto.
“Yuna-oneesan?” (Fina)
Fina raised a questioning voice to us who suddenly started talking by ourselves.
“Ah, it’s all right. He may look scary, but there’s no need to be scared.” (Yuna)
Strictly speaking, I find it very contradictory. What I’m trying to say is that he’s not a violent person.
“Were you there earlier by any chance?” (Yuna)
“I was on the floor above here. My friends happened to be here and informed me that you were here.” (Uragan)
Was that the man who said Bloody Bear?
Come to think of it, I think I heard the word “Bloody Bear” earlier.
“So you came all the way out here to see me?” (Yuna)
“I just thought I’d say thanks.” (Uragan)
“Thank me?” (Yuna)
Was there ever anything that Uragan had to personally thank me for?
