Bear-san, Returns To The Royal Capital
After leaving the city of Euphalia, Noa and I arrived at the royal capital later that day and were relaxing at Eleanora-san’s house.
“Swaying Bear-chan, does it feel good?” (Noa)
`Ku~u ~ n’
!!
“I’ll do Hugging Bear-chan next, so please wait a moment.” (Noa)
`Ku~u ~ n’
Noa is grooming Swaying Bear cub with a hand brush.
“Okay, it’s done. Your turn, Hugging Bear-chan.” (Noa)
Noa happily started brushing Hugging Bear. While I was relaxing watching Noa like that, Shia came back.
“Welcome back, Oneesama.” (Noa)
“Welcome back.” (Yuna)
“Why are you both in the house!?” (Shia)
“It’s because we overtook you guys and came back first.” (Yuna)
That’s right, Noa and I passed the carriage the students were riding in on the way. Of course, we moved off the road to avoid being noticed.
“If you caught up, you could have just called out to us.” (Shia)
“Together with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear?” (Yuna)
Above all, I’m not ‘Yuuna’, but Yuna. I am dressed as a bear, after all. If it were only Shia, I would have called out to her, but since there were other students, I wouldn’t call out to them because it would be troublesome.
“But I also wanted to come home riding on Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan, not on a horse-drawn carriage.” (Shia)
Shia said and held Swaying Bear in her arms as Noa finished brushing him.
“Oh, it’s so nice and fluffy.” (Shia)
Noa did a great job of brushing him.
After that, Shia changed her clothes and started playing with Swaying Bear. While I was relaxing on the sofa watching the sisters, Eleanora-san came home.
“Oh my, I thought it was lively in here, and then I saw that my three daughters had arrived home.” (Eleanora)
You have two daughters. Not three. It’s too much trouble, so I’m not going to say anything.
“Mother, welcome back.” (Noa)
“I’m back.” (Eleanora)
Eleanora-san gently pats Noa’s head as she runs up to her.
“So Shia, how was the exchange meeting?” (Eleanora)
“I did my best. But Yuna-san got the top place?” (Shia)
“Yuna-chan?” (Eleanora)
“Yuna-san also participated in the exchange meeting.” (Noa)
Noa added where Shia’s explanation fell short.
“Oh, did you perhaps enroll in the academy? If you had told me, I would have done the formalities.” (Eleanora)
“No, I didn’t. One of the students from the royal capital was unable to participate in the competition due to mana exhaustion, so I only participated as a temporary helper.” (Yuna)
“Ara~, is that so~” (Eleanora)
She looked a bit disappointed.
After listening to her daughters, Eleanora-san returned to her room. I left the living room to follow her and called out to her.
“Eleanora-san, can I have a moment later?” (Yuna)
I thought I would tell Eleanora-san about Euphalia’s incident.
In case you are wondering, Eleanora-san knows about the 10,000 monsters gathered at the capital, and she also knows that I am involved in wiping it out. I thought explaining this to Eleanora-san would be more credible before Cerraille’s father came to report it.
I tried to have a serious conversation with her, but she started talking nonsense.
“Ara~, is this a confession of love? But I have a husband and daughters, so I’ll be in trouble.” (Eleanora)
She puts her hand on her cheek and strikes a troubled pose.
“No, it’s not.” (Yuna)
“Just kidding. Let’s talk about it now, rather than later.” (Eleanora)
We moved to Eleanora-san’s room to talk.
“So what is it that you want to talk about? Something you don’t want my daughters to hear?” (Eleanora)
“Noa knows a little of it, but Shia doesn’t know anything. It’s not something to talk about in front of them.” (Yuna)
“So, what is it you want to talk about?” (Eleanora)
