Chapter 114

Bear-san And The Two Children Take a Stroll

We left the inn and were walking on the streets when we met a familiar harem party .

「Yuna-chan! You came back?」

In the front was the thoughtful Tomea-san, and behind her were the harem party leader Blitz, the tiny Ran and the female swordsman Grimos .

「You were all still here?」

I thought that they would have left the city after they brought the food .

「Yeah, the guild master asked us to stay and kill the monsters in the area . 」

Blitz answered .

「More importantly, is it true that you subjugated the Kraken? I can’t believe it . 」

「Blitz, you are too skeptical . Everyone in the city is talking about it, so it has to be true . 」

「But it’s the Kraken, you know . How could someone kill that monster on their own?」

「That’s right, but Yuna-chan completely ignores common sense, so wouldn’t she be able to do it?」

「You don’t have to believe it . It’s better for me if you don’t . 」

「I believe it . 」

「Well, since the residents are saying so, I think you did it?」

Ran agreed with Tomea-san .

「The residents have no reasons to lie . 」

Grimos shared her thoughts as well .

「And there’s also the tunnel, right? I think that you are all strange for believing it . 」

Blitz was the only one thinking logically .

「But Blitz, you’ve seen the tunnel too, haven’t you?」

「I saw it, but it’s also possible it was already there to begin with . 」

「There’s no way we had such a beautiful tunnel before, right?」

She looked at Blitz as if saying: ‘Are you an idiot?’

「Still, thinking about it logically…」

「Did Yuna-chan seem normal to you when she was arresting the bandits?」

「She didn’t . 」

Weren’t they saying some terrible things?

「Also, the residents are saying that she subjugated the Kraken, so wouldn’t something like a tunnel be normal for her?」

「Is it really normal?」

It seemed that Blitz still couldn’t accept it .

「So, what are you doing here? Didn’t you go back to Crimonia?」

「I came here to play with these two . 」

I introduced Fina and Shuri .

They gave their greetings and bowed .

「They’re cute children . 」

「So Blitz, will you guys stay here until the city’s renovation is finished?」

「Nope, we thought of going to Crimonia when the tunnel is opened . 」

「Really?」

「Since you made the tunnel, there’s no way we wouldn’t use it, right?」

Tomea-san confirmed what Blitz said .

「If you come to Crimonia, I will treat you to a meal at the very least . 」

I gave them the name of the shop, and we parted ways .

It seemed that the four of them were heading out to kill monsters .

After we parted ways, I decided to show Fina and Shuri around the city .

「Amazing . There are so many boats!」

「It’s a boat!」

When we arrived at the harbour, they were happily looking at the boats .

A lot of boats were anchored here .

They didn’t say it, but it seemed like they wanted to ride one .

Still, as one would expect, I didn’t have a boat, so I couldn’t let them ride one .

As we were walking through the harbour, I recognized two people .

「Ranya-san, Damon-san . It’s been a while . 」

「Yuna-chan!」

「Yuna, you say!?」

「It’s been a while . 」

「What happened? Do you need more fish?」

「Nope . I’m showing the sea and the boats to these two . 」

「You brought these two small children from Crimonia?」

「That’s right . 」

Damon-san seemed depressed .

「We thought we would die on our way to Crimonia, but you brought them here just to play . That’s…」

「You can easily come here through the tunnel, you know . 」

「You may be right, but I just can’t agree with that somehow . 」

「What are you saying . Yuna-chan saved us and the city . Why are you complaining now?」

Ranya-san smacked him .

「So, what are you two doing here?」

「Oh, we are doing maintenance of our boat . If we didn’t take care of it properly and it broke when we needed it, we would be in trouble after all . 」

While we were talking, Fina and Shuri were looking at the boat as if it was something they had never seen before .

「Hmm, young ladies, would you like to ride it?」

「That’s…」

「I want to, but…」

The two said, holding back .

A boat, huh . Now that I thought about it, I had never ridden one either .

I rode them in MMORPG games though .

「Then how about getting on?」

「「Is it okay?」」

For some reason, they looked at me and not Damon-san .

「Do you want to?」

「I want to, but…」

「I’m a bit scared . 」

Now that I thought about it, this was their first time riding a boat since they had never even seen the sea before . They might be interested, but they were also scared .

「Damon-san, sail carefully, okay?」

「Yes, of course . There’s no way I would put yours friends in danger, right?」

「It’s safe, you two, so please ride it . 」

「What about you, Big Sis Yuna?」

「I’ll wait . 」

「I want Sis Yuna to come too!」

Shuri grasped my Bear Clothes with her tiny hand and looked up at me .

I couldn’t refuse when she was like this .

So it was decided that we would ride Damon-san’s boat together .

We got on Damon-san’s boat and sailed out onto the sea .

「If you two feel sick, tell me immediately, okay?」

「…?」

The two of them were confused .

Since they had never been on a boat before, I didn’t think that they would understand even if I told them what seasickness was, so that was all I said .

Yet, despite my worries, they were happily enjoying their boat ride on the sea .

It seemed that the waves weren’t too high . They got excited each time the boat swayed .

I didn’t feel sick either . Was it thanks to the Bear?

「Damon-san, thank you very much . 」

「No problem, just tell me when you want a ride . 」

We thanked Damon-san and left the harbour .

「Was it fun, you two?」

「Yes! It was so much fun . 」

「Boat was fun!」

They really seemed like they had fun . I was sure that there were no lies in their words .

Just as we were leaving the harbour, we found a woman wearing clothes that emphasized her chest waiting for us .

「Atora-san?」

「It’s been a while, Yuna . 」

「What are you doing here?」

「Don’t ask me what I am doing here . If you came to the city, why didn’t you come to my place?」

「Hmm, because I had nothing to do over there?」

「Yuna . 」

Atora-san glared at me .

「I’m joking . I planned to go over there now . 」

That was a lie of course . I didn’t plan on going there .

「Really?」

She looked at me doubtfully .

「Yes, of course . 」

I answered while shifting my gaze subtly .

「Well, alright . So, Yuna, why did you come here?」

「I came here just to play . 」

「To play, you say… There’s nothing interesting in this city, right?」

「There are plenty of things . Fish dishes, bamboo sprouts, the sea, the boats, and the beach . You two, it was fun, right?」

「Yes, it was really fun . 」

「It was fun!」

「Is that so? Somehow, there was something I don’t know mixed in, but if you had fun, I‘m happy . So, who are these children?」

「The children of someone I’m indebted to in Crimonia, I could say?」

Fina would get mad if I introduced her as my life saviour, so this time I introduced them like that .

「That’s wrong! We are the ones indebted to you, Big Sis Yuna!」

「Mom told me that we can eat delicious food thanks to Sis Yuna . 」

They denied my introduction .

「Fufu . 」

「Why are you laughing?」

「That’s because I can imagine what you did for these children . I bet you saved their family and didn’t even request a reward, right?」

「Amazing . How did you know?」

Fina confirmed Atora-san’s theory .

「That’s because Yuna did the same thing for this city . 」

「I can understand then . 」

How come they all came to an understanding from this conversation?

Didn’t that make me a simple character who could be described with just a phrase?

I wanted to correct them, but they were happily talking about me .

「She always says 『Don’t worry about it . 』, right?」

「Yes, she says that . 」

「She says…」

Why were they so excited?

「Also, even though we are not allowed to give our thanks, for some reason, Yuna helps us even more . 」

「Yes, I understand!」

「Understand!」

Did Shuri really understand it? It felt like she was just imitating her sister though .

「Hmm, how long are you going to keep talking like this?」

「Ah, I’m sorry . 」

「Sorry . 」

「Sorry . 」

They apologized .

「So, what will the three of you do now?」

「I wanted to go and greet Atora-san, but since we already saw each other here, I thought about sightseeing the city . 」

I didn’t really plan to meet Atora-san, but I really wanted to walk around the city .

「Then, should I accompany you?」

「Are you free?」

「You could say that . Cliff-sama dispatched adventurers from Crimonia to kill all of the monsters in the area, and it’s going well . Also, Blitz’s party came back, and they will be staying here for a while, it seems . All of this is also thanks to you, Yuna . 」

「I didn’t do anything . The ones who did are Cliff and Mylene-san . 」

「The only one who thinks that is you . 」

Atora-san said, smiling, as she took Fina and Shuri’s hands and started walking .

I didn’t agree with her, but I still followed along .
