The room was larger and more spacious than those of an ordinary inn.
The beds were also larger, and two rooms in the room looked like they could accommodate two people each. The table and chairs in the room also looked expensive. In addition, there was a door to the room, and it looked like there was an adjoining room.
Noa began to explore the room to see if anythng unusual happened in the inn.
“Yuna-san, there’s a bath.” (Noa)
Noa opened the door to the room. Apparently, the door I thought was the next room was actually the bathroom.
There was also a private bath at the inn in the Land of Harmony, but only in the expensive room.
I sat on my bed, summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in cub forms, and took a rest.
I don’t think there was any danger, but Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were there as insurance. People were never more vulnerable than when they were resting. Besides, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear worked hard by running to the city of Euphalia.
I held Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear on either side of me, and as I was thanking them, Noa came to me.
“Ah, Yuna-san, that’s not fair!” (Noa)
After looking around the room, Noa sat beside me and took Swaying Bear in her arms. She then thanked Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in the same way I did.
“Yuna-san, we are going to explore the city tomorrow, right?” (Noa)
“Yeah, we have plenty of time to spare before the appointed time with Shia.” (Yuna)
Shia should already be in Euphalia, according to the schedule. But because it’s an academy, it seems that we can’t meet her right away. So we were supposed to meet in front of the school in Euphalia.
“Then, it’s a stroll around the city until we meet up with Oneesama. I’m looking forward to it.” (Noa)
“That’s right. You want to go to the lake?” (Yuna)
“Yes.” (Noa)
As Noa and I were talking about the schedule for tomorrow, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear looked up and cried “ku~u ~ n“. At the same time, there was a knock at the door.
“I brought you your meal.” (Lady)
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear hid and I opened the door. A woman with a meal on a cart comes through the door.
“Please eat while it’s still warm. When you have finished eating, please put it in front of the door, and we will collect it later.” (Lady)
After saying that, the woman went back.
“Looks delicious.” (Noa)
“Then, let’s eat while it’s warm.” (Yuna)
We ate, bathed, and lay in bed. Swaying Bear cub occupied Noa’s bed, and my bed was occupied by Hugging Bear cub, both curled up in a ball.
“Come to think of it. I fell asleep yesterday in the middle of listening to Yuna-san’s story.” (Noa)
Noa seemed to remember last night. She asked me to tell the rest of the story, so I decided to tell her the story of the elven village.
This time I was able to finish talking before she went to sleep.
The next morning, after eating, we get ready to leave.
Well then, what shall we do?
I’m worried now. I’m worried after a long time. Let me say it again, I’m worried.
“What’s wrong with Yuna-san? Aren’t you going out?” (Noa)
Noa saw that I was troubled and called out to me.
“Yeah, I’m going out, but……” (Yuna)
“It seemed like you were thinking about something.” (Noa)
“Yeah, well. We’re supposed to meet Shia in front of the school today, right?” (Yuna)
“Yes. Until then, we have time, so we’re going for a walk around the city, right?” (Noa)
“Yeah, that’s right. Actually, she asked me to wear a uniform when I met Shia at the mansion. She said it would be easier to get into the academy if I was a student there.” (Yuna)
Shia told me on my way home.
I was troubled at the time, but nodded my head, thinking that I could not enter Euphalia’s academy dressed as a bear.
I thought I could handle it because I had worn it at the school festival before, but I am hesitant when it comes to changing clothes other than the bear suit.
“So, were you bothered by it?” (Noa)
“Yea.” (Yuna)
“Yuna-san looks cute looking like a bear, but I also think you will look good in a uniform too.” (Noa)
Noa wasn’t shy about her thoughts and spoke them out loud and clear.
“And this isn’t Crimonia or the royal capital, so a uniform might be better.” (Noa)
Indeed, the dressing situation was made clear to me yesterday while resting in the inn.
“If something happens, my father will help you in Crimonia and my mother would help you in the royal capital, but here, well…” (Noa)
Exactly as Noa said.
I don’t know anyone here as I do in Crimonia, the Royal Capital, the Elven Village, or the Land of Harmony.
