Chapter 555 – Bear-san, Seeing Misa For The First Time After A Long While

Bear-san, Seeing Misa For The First Time After A Long While
After capturing Reedent, we returned to the city of Sheleen.

Once we got back to Sheleen, the guildmaster ordered Maran to investigate Reedent’s store. He then talked to Mylene-san about the future, and the conversation took place in the Guildmaster’s room.

Blitz and his harem had been watching the store since midnight, so when they returned, they went to the inn with a sleepy expression on their faces.

Incidentally, even though they were watching, no one suspicious showed up in the end.

Jade-san and his party were going to replace Blitz and his harem to watch the store. I don’t think any bandit would go near the store while it was under investigation, but just in case, they said.

Then, according to Blitz, Marina’s group kept watch until Blitz and his harem arrived. In case you were wondering, they requested them in my name, so I guess I should go thank them later, shouldn’t I?

As I was resting alone in a room of a commercial guild with these thoughts in my mind, a beautiful silver-haired girl entered the room asking, “Yuna-oneesama, are you here?”.

“Misa?” (Yuna)

“Yuna-oneesama! Thank goodness you’re still here.” (Misa)

The one who entered the room was Misa, the daughter of the lord of Sheleen.

When Misa found me, she made a big smile and rushed over to me.

“What’s wrong? Did you have business with the commercial guild?” (Yuna)

Maybe she happened to be at the commercial guild, found out I was there, and came to see me.

“No. I heard that you came to Sheleen, Yuna-oneesama, so I came to see you.” (Misa)

She had nothing to do in the commercial guild, my predictions were only half right.

But who told her about me? I thought, but then it occurred to me that there were many sources like the gatekeeper, the commercial guild, Marina, and so on.

“And so, you came all the way out here to see me.” (Yuna)

“Because Yuna-oneesama. You didn’t come to Sheleen at all, so I came to see you. Please visit my house once in a while.” (Misa)

Certainly, I haven’t been to Sheleen since Misa’s birthday party. I had no business coming to Sheleen, so it’s no wonder.

The fact of the matter is, it’s a pain to go see them without any reason to do so.

My interpersonal level was not high enough to go see someone without a reason. In these situations, my level of social interaction was being questioned.

If I told that to Misa, she’d say something like, “Just come and see me then”.

“Then I’ll come to visit you when I have time.” (Yuna)

“It’s a promise.” (Misa)

Misa smiled widely.

I can’t break my promise on this one.

Let’s also bring Fina and Noa next time.

Then I would have a reason.

“Oh, by the way, have you heard about the birthday party?” (Yuna)

“It’s about holding Fina-chan’s birthday party together with Noa-oneesama, right? I got a letter from Noa-oneesama.” (Misa)

Noa seemed to have sent a letter properly. Noa never fails in that area.

“Also, the letter said she was working with Yuna-oneesama, Fina-chan, and Shuri-chan in making a large stuffed Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan.” (Misa)

She wrote too much.

“Because Noa herself requested a large Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear plushies.” (Yuna)

“Noa-oneesama, she really asked for it, didn’t she? But it looks like she’s having fun making stuffed animals together.” (Misa)

Misa looked envious.

I didn’t mean to outcast Misa, it’s just that she lives in a different city, so I had no choice.

“But I never thought that even Noa-oneesama was also making it together with you.” (Misa)

“Noa came over while we were making it and said she wanted to make it with us. You think it’s strange to make your own birthday present?” (Yuna)

“Yes. But it sounds like fun.” (Misa)

Certainly, back in my former world, I didn’t do things like making something together with anyone. That’s why I was having fun making the plushies with everyone.

“So, is Fina-chan’s present also a large Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan stuffed animals?” (Misa)

“No, she refused. They don’t have a big house like yours or Noa’s, so she can’t put the big stuffed animals in it. That’s why Fina’s present hasn’t been decided yet.” (Yuna)

I need to decide on a gift for Fina soon. It would have been nice if they were just oversized stuffed animals. But that’s not good, apparently, so I have to think of something else.

Especially because Fina has been taking care of me since I came to this world.

Even if I ask Fina what she wants, I think she will say “I don’t need it” or “I don’t mind anything” and never say exactly what she wants.

It was easier to give a gift to someone like Noa, who clearly told me what she wanted.

“So, why did you come to Sheleen, Yuna-oneesama?” (Misa)

Apparently, they knew I was in Sheleen, but she didn’t know why.

I told her that we had almost finished making the life-sized stuffed Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear with only the cotton missing, but the cotton I had ordered was stolen by bandits.

“Then, when I consulted with the adventurer’s guild, there was a similar incident involving bandits, so I went to catch them.” (Yuna)

My explanation seemed to satisfy Misa.

Then, as I was talking with Misa about the birthday party, a new guest entered the room.

“Both of you were here.” (Gran)

“Grandfather!?” (Misa)

Gran-san entered the room.

Gran-san looked at Misa and then at me.

“Young lady, you’re still dressed, as usual, I see.” (Gran)

If you take away my bear costume, I’ll have nothing left. I would be a helpless girl who could neither use magic nor carry a heavy sword.

“Gran-san, did you perhaps come to see me too?” (Yuna)

“When Misa found out that you were coming, she ran out of the house.” (Gran)

“Because if I don’t hurry, Yuna-oneesama might leave.” (Misa)

“And since the young lady who saved us is here, I thought I’d drop by and say hello. My son and his wife are busy, so I came.” (Gran)

“Gran-san, you must be bored.” (Yuna)

“Not quite. Now that I’ve left everything up to my son and his wife, I’m enjoying the rest of my life with a weight off my shoulders.” (Gran)

The true essence of a retired old man.

“You say things like that. But father wants you to help, grandfather.” (Misa)

“Of course, I’ll help him, but it won’t do him any good if I help him all the time.” (Gran)

Apparently, he only helps out occasionally, leaving most of the work to his son, Leonardo-san.

Well, I guess that’s what happens when you hand over a job.

“That’s why I’m going to accompany Misa to Noa’s and Fina’s birthday party.” (Gran)

Just as I said, he was bored.

But I can’t take Misa to Crimonia alone. If Leonardo-san was busy, it’s only logical for Gran-san, who has a lot of time on his hands, to come with her.

“I see. Thank you Gran-san. You must have told the city gate and the commerce guild about me. I was able to enter the city without being questioned or anything.” (Yuna)

“Is that so? You are our benefactor, young lady. You once told me that you wanted to enter the city comfortably. It’s good to hear that the gatekeeper did not displease you.” (Gran)

I don’t blame them for looking at me strangely, but being asked about my bear outfit every single time was bothersome and it didn’t make me feel good.

Most of all, I am glad that people don’t say anything when they see Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. Seeing them being surprised or frightened makes me sad.

Then, after we finished talking, Mylne-san came to the room to tell me that she was going back to Crimonia tomorrow. I decided to return to Crimonia with her.

As for where to stay, I was thinking that it would be the same as yesterday, we could rent a room in a commercial guild, then Misa, who was in the room, said, “Then please stay at my house”.

Of course, Gran-san said the same thing.

I thought about refusing because it would be a nuisance, but I felt guilty that I had not come to see Misa recently, so I decided to accept her proposal honestly.

Most of all, I could imagine the sad look on her face if I rejected her.

Then Marina came over, so I thanked her for yesterday.

“Don’t worry about it. I got a little profit from it after all.” (Marina)

She didn’t seem to mind, apparently.
