Bear-san, Relaxing
I had already informed Ellelaura-san, Shia, and Sanya-san at the meal that I was leaving, so I went to tell Ghazal-san and Rica-san that I was leaving and the results of Fina’s participation in the dismantling event.
Besides, I was also curious about Fina’s old dismantling tools that were a prize from a past dismantling event, so I asked Ghazal-san whether he knew anything about it.

“So about that…” (Ghazal-san)
Next, Ghazal-san told me that the dismantling tools for the event were made by a famous blacksmith every year at the request of the Adventurers’ Guild. The shape and type of dismantling tools have stayed the same over the years, and apparently, there was a mark on the bottom of the hand-held wooden part so that you could recognize it immediately.
As to why he did not mention this, he must have noticed it when he maintained Fina’s dismantling tools, but heard that it belonged to her late father, and he felt sorry to remind her of her past.
He planned to tell us about it later if the time was right.
However, he also mentioned that he did not expect that Fina would actually get the Fighting Spirit Award and receive the same dismantling set.
After Ghazal-san told me about the dismantling tools, he also decided to maintain my Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear knives while I spent some time chatting with Rica-san.
I was also happy to see Rica-san happy.
…
After saying goodbye to everyone, we stood before the Bear Transfer Gate.
“Did anyone forget anything?” (Yuna)
“No, I’m fine.” (Tirumina)
“Yeah, me too.” (Fina)
“I’m fine.” (Shuri)
Tirumina-san and Fina checked their belongings, and Shuri held up her hands to let me know she was okay.
Today, we would return to Crimonia.
Well, even if they forget something, I could use the Bear Transfer Gate to come right back, so it wasn’t that big of an issue…
“Well then, I will use the Bear Transfer Gate to return to Crimonia, but this gate will remain a secret, okay?” (Yuna)
“Yes, we know.” (Everyone else)
I opened the door of the Bear Transfer Gate leading to my bear house in Crimonia. We went through the Bear Transfer Gate and finally returned to Crimonia.
“It’s so bizarre. I can’t believe this is Yuna-chan’s house in Crimonia.” (Tirumina)
Tirumina-san curiously walked past the Bear Transfer Gate, followed by Fina and Shuri.
“Thank you, Yuna-chan. It was fun. Besides, I got to see my daughter in action.” (Tirumina)
“I’m sorry about Gentz-san, though.” (Yuna)
Gentz-san was not able to see Fina in action. I was sure he would be disappointed when he listened to our story.
“Hmmm, well. We’ll quickly bring him back in a good mood when we return home. Can both of you help me out?”
“”Yes.”” (Fina and Shuri)
Tirumina-san asked Fina and Shuri, and they responded.
If they were willing to indulge Gentz-san, he would soon be in a better mood.
I have heard that fathers have a soft spot for their daughters, and I have heard that Gentz-san also had a soft spot for his daughters. That would mean that he thinks of them as his own daughters even though they are not related to him. 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮
In comparison, my father didn’t care about his daughter that much. He was also not as kind.
Tirumina-san and the others thanked me once more and left the bear house.
The house became quiet as the door closed. Having constantly heard Fina, Shuri, and Tirumina-san’s voices over the past few days, I suddenly felt lonely when the three left. Feeling a little down, I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
“”Kuu~n.””
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear came close to me, probably noticing my feelings. I pet Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear had become my family.
Two days later, Fina came to my house and told me about what happened at their place: Gentz-san was lonely and hugged them as soon as they came home.
And that Tirumina-san got angry when she saw the mess the house was in.
She said that even though they had only been away from home for a few days, the rooms had become a mess, the dishes had not been washed, the laundry had not been done.
Come to think of it, I remembered hearing that before Tirumina-san and Gentz got married, he had not done anything to prepare for their moving in together, which made the move to living together under a roof very difficult for both of them.
It seemed that while Gentz-san could work properly, he was actually awful at housework.
So, for two days after we returned from the royal capital, Fina happily told me that they had to spend the whole day cleaning the house.
“Good job!” (Fina)
Then, over tea and snacks, she asked Gentz-san about the dismantling tools she had gotten at the event.
Gentz-san said that he knew and had kept quiet intentionally, because if Fina had found out that her late father had also attended the same event, she might have been uncomfortable and unable to show her true potential.
It was true that Fina might have felt overwhelmed if she knew that her late father had also previously participated in the event, and she might not have been able to show her true potential.
When Tirumina-san heard what he had to say, she said, “Well, then, you could have told me too,” and he responded with “What were you going to do if I told you?” Tirumina-san also mentioned before that she was not really interested in the event. After all, when Fina asked her about the event, she didn’t even seem to have the slightest idea what happened. This made Gentz-san also conclude that she had forgotten about it.
