We’re back in Crimonia.
The children sleeping in the bear bus returns while rubbing his eyes. An energetic child started running off to see the cluckers. Liz-san chases after that.
[Thank you, Yuna-san. I think the children had a lot of fun. Since I met Yuna-san, the children have more smiles on their faces. This is also thanks to Yuna-san.] Director
The director happily looks at the children who are running about.
The director bows a little then holds the small child’s hand and returns to the orphanage. Cliff is watching such a scene.
[I see. my failure to supervise was erasing the smiles of those kids.] Cliff
Cliff murmured in a soft voice. I’m not saying that Cliff, the highest authority in the city, isn’t responsible, but it was his subordinate who was doing the embezzlement. However, I just wished he noticed it early.
In every world, even if the top is solid, the bottom is not always excellent. I often heard stories on TV about employees spending company money unauthorized. But it’s the job of the superiors to manage it. It’s difficult to handle people.
With that in mind, if the kids working in the store do something wrong, will it be my supervisory responsibility? Well, I don’t think the kids will do such things for the sake of the director and Liz-san.
Though if they seem to bother others, the adults have no choice but to take responsibility. I’m an adult, or me. So I have to make sure it doesn’t happen.
Looking at the back of the director and the child, Nifu-san comes over.
[Thank you, Yuna-chan. When I went back to the town and met an acquaintance, I felt like I was able to take a step forward because I was able to get what I had in my heart. This is also thanks to Yuna-chan and the director.] Nifu
Nifu-san thanked me. It was the director who told her to go see her acquaintance. I just took her to Mereera and nothing else.
Nifu-san bows and chases the children in a sprint-like manner.
Anzu and the former residents of Mereera are happy to see Nifu-san in her current state. Maybe they just don’t say that they want to go back to Mereera. But if they do say it, I can’t stop them.
[Then, shall we work hard from tomorrow onward?] Betoru
[The store operations will start the day after tomorrow.] Anzu
[Yuna-san, it was fun. Thank you.] Forne
[Thank you, Yuna-chan.] Seno
Anzu and her crew waved their hands and started walking towards their store.
After that, Morin-san, Karin-san, and Elena-san also thanked me and left.
[Then we’ll go too. Yuna-chan, it was a lot of fun.] Morin
[Thank you, Yuna-san.] Karin
[Thank you Yuna-oneechan.] Children
[It was fun, but from tomorrow we’ll be working without a break for a while.] Morin
Tirumina-san’s family is also returning. Gentz-san was on-leave from work, so it can’t be helped. Besides, Gentz-san is not the only one who will work from tomorrow onward. The children in the orphanage are taking care of the cluckers. Both Anzu and Morin-san are preparing for the opening of the store. They have to go and buy ingredients and clean the shop. There are many things to do.
Only me and Noa are free.
[Then, Yuna-san. I’ll be waiting at home tomorrow.] Noa
Oh, yea. I promised to make pressed flowers with Noa.
Misa asked Gran-san to stay in Crimonia for a few days. It would be nice if I can just send it. Gran-san says he will return with Misa after a few days. Gran-san seems to have no choice but to accept his cute granddaughter’s wish.
After Noa and the others gave their thanks to me, they returned to the mansion.
Lurina-san and Gill are going to eat with Masurika and Itia as fellow adventurers.
Everyone went in their respectful destinations, so I’m alone. I’m lonely being alone… No, I’ll go home with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear that were currently in their bear cub form. I’m not lonely because they are my family. I’ll take a bath with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, sleep together with them, and get rid of the tiredness of traveling.
---
The next day, I wanted to relax on the following day after returning from the trip, but since I have promised to make pressed flowers, I also brought Fina and Shuri to Noa’s mansion.
When we arrived at the mansion, Lala-san greeted and guided us to Noa’s room. Noa, Misa, and Shia were waiting in the room.
[Yuna-san, I’ve been waiting for you. Also, Fina and Shuri welcome.] Noa
[Thank you for inviting me today.] Fina
[Thank you.] Shuri
When Fina greeted Noa, Shuri imitated Fina and did the same.
[That enough for greetings, so let’s make it right away.] Noa
[Yes!] Fina
[Yup!] Shuri
Noa took the hands of Fina and Shuri.
I walked behind them and came to the table. On the table, tools and flowers necessary for pressed flowers were prepared.
[What’s with these flowers?] Yuna
[Oneesama and Fina have flowers, but Misa and I don’t have any, so I bought them.] Noa
[I already said there are more flowers with me, so you didn’t have to prepare them separately.] Yuna
[We’re going to make it with great effort. So I think it’s okay to have various flowers. Both Fina and Shuri can use their favorite flowers. Rather, why don’t you two just use the flowers you’ve picked up.] Noa
[Yes!] Fina
