Once Lala-san was out of sight, I returned to playing around with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. Fina and Shuri joined in after a while, and eventually Noa came as well.
A few more days went by, and I built a few more cotton candy machines as I wanted to make some cotton candy for the children at the orphanage.
「Yuna-oneechan, this cloud tastes really good.」
「It’s so fluffy.」
「When it melts, it gets all sticky, though.」
「It melts in my mouth.」
「It’s so sweet and tasty.」
Seeing the children happily snack on them, I felt confident that it would work out well at the school festival.
The days continued to pass by peacefully.
One day, I was spending my time taking a nap on Swaying Bear’s stomach, but then Swaying Bear tried to wake me up all of the sudden.
「Let me sleep just a little bit longer…」
I mumbled and hugged Swaying Bear’s arm tightly, treating it like a body pillow.
Yet, Swaying Bear continued nudging me, and eventually even used its paws to make me stand up.
「What?!」
I asked Swaying Bear why it was interrupting my nap before noticing someone was calling for me from outside.
「Whoooo is it?」
I let out a small yawn and climbed off Swaying Bear’s stomach. I really wanted to nap for a while longer.
Rubbing my eyes, I walked over to the entrance to see who was bothering me and was met by Riana-san from the Commerce Guild.
「Yuna-san, your order is complete. I brought it here for you.」
「Thank you, Riana-saaawn.」
I yawned again.
「Oh no, did I wake you up from your sleep?」
「Don’t worry about it. I had nothing to do, so I took a nap.」
I had been bored today, so I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, played around for a while, and then took a nap.
「Okay, I won’t fret over it then.」
「Anyway, you were saying that the playing cards are done?」
「Yes. Here they are.」
She said as she pulled out a small wooden box from her item bag. Taking the box out of her hands, I immediately opened the lid to have a look.
Inside was a set of cards that had the bear drawings printed on their back sides properly. I also flipped some cards over to check if the other side was okay as well.
They were very well made.
「How is it?」
「They’re great. Thank you, it turned out better than I expected.」
「I’m happy to hear that.」
「Riana-san, really, thank you.」
I thanked her again.
「This is just our job, no need to thank us.」
Since it would be a hassle for her to take all the card sets out at once right here in front of the door, I invited Riana-san inside.
「Still, was it really okay for you to deliver it yourself? What about your job?」
The Commerce Guild should still be very busy, right?
I was sure they would send somebody else to bring the cards, so I was surprised when Riana-san came to deliver them herself.
「It’s fine. It’s my day off, after all.」
「You came to deliver the cards even though it’s your day off?」
「Well, it’s not something I could ask other people to do for me.」
I felt like I caused her a lot of trouble…
「Still, I get to come inside the rumored Yuna-san’s house. That’s enough of a reward for me.」
「Rumored…」
「Everybody is very interested in what your Bear-san shaped house looks like from the inside.」
「It’s just a regular house as you can see.」
I brought her to the guest room and took out some drinks from the fridge.
She delivered the cards despite it being her day off, so I felt I had to at least serve her some drinks as thanks.
