Bear-san, Went to see Rica-san
When I returned to the bear house after negotiating with Sanya-san, I hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, which had been turned into cubs, to heal yesterday’s psychological damage.
Sorry for the bug lovers, but I don’t like bugs. If I’m going to cuddle, it will be with fluffy fur.
“Uuh, so soothing~” (Yuna)
“Kuun.”
“Fluffy.” (Yuna)
“Kuun.”
“Uuh, so soft.” (Yuna)
“Kuun.”
“Uuh, happy.” (Yuna)
“Kuun.”
I thought about Fina as I hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
When I returned from the Adventurer’s Guild, Fina asked me to bring out some wolves for her to practice dismantling.
Fina doesn’t need to practice dismantling wolves now but she seemed restless as the event approached.
I didn’t think she was like that until yesterday, or was she hiding it from me?
I put out the wolves, and Fina started dismantling them.
Tirumina-san went shopping for dinner with Shuri to give Fina something tasty to eat.
I was a little worried about Fina.
Fina, I hoped she would be ok.
“…Yuna Onee-chan?” (Fina)
As I hugged Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear while thinking about Fina, she suddenly called out to me.
“Uwah, Fina, you’re here?” (Yuna)
Fina was standing in front of the door.
“Did you see that?” (Yuna)
“No… but Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear are so cute.” (Fina)
Fina then approached Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear and patted them on the head.
“Are you alright?” (Yuna)
“Yes, I’m fine when I’m dismantling them, but when I’m done, I start to wonder if this is the right thing to do.” (Fina)
“You shouldn’t be too uptight about it. Besides, Gentz-san taught you how to do it, so just do it as usual, and you’ll be fine.” (Yuna)
“…Yeah.” (Fina)
She nodded, but she didn’t seem okay.
I guess a breather was in order on this one.
Tirumina-san and Shuri were out. That leaves me in charge.
But what should we do?
“I am thinking of dropping by Ghazal-san’s place. Want to join me on my way to see Ghazal-san and Rica-san?” (Yuna)
I thought about it for a moment and suggested it.
It would be a nice change of pace for Fina, and it would be good to see them after a long absence.
Fina pondered momentarily, then said she would clean up the dismantling areademolition and prepare to leave.
So, we went to the Ghazal-san’s store, where I gotmade my mithril knife.
The last time I came here was for Fina’s birthday present.
“Yuna-chan, Fina-san, have some tea.” (Rica)
“Thank you, Rica-san.” (Yuna)
Rica-san puts the tea in front of us.
Looking at her face, she looks happy.
Ghazal-san might be making a sword, and I could hear him pounding iron from the back of the room.
“Rica-san, how is life in the Royal Capital?” (Yuna)
“Ghazal is here, and there are good people around, so I’m fine.” (Rica)
Rica-san smiled at me with a big smile.
From her expression, she didn’t seem to be forcing herself to comment.
“But I’m a little worried that Ghazal is being mistreated because of my arrival.” (Rica)
