I played with Flora-sama after getting donna-donna by her, then I decided to return to the Bear House before dinner.
[Bear-san. See you again.] Flora
Of course, I made a promise. But Eleanora-san caught me when I’m about to go home.
[Yuna-chan, why don’t you have dinner at home?] Eleanora
[I want to go home.] Yuna
I declined it politely. I want to return to Crimonia as soon as possible.
[But if you go home, you’ll be lonely since you’re eating alone.] Eleanora
[I have Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear with me.] Yuna
I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, I hugged them as if to appeal.
Besides, I’m not lonely even if I’m alone. For a hikikomori, it feels as sweet as a dessert. There is no such thing as eating alone.
[But I think Shia will be sad if you just go home. You came to the royal capital so at least show your face to her.] Eleanora
When she said such a thing, I could not refuse, so I went to Eleanora-san’s house to meet Shia.
[Yuna-san? You came to the royal capital?] Shia
Shia who’s wearing plain clothes, not uniform, asked me.
Well, if you come back from school, of course, you’ll change your clothes when you get home. Not like me who’s wearing the same clothes for 24 hours.
[I just did a little work.] Yuna
[And then, she tried to stealthily return to her house, so I caught and brought her here to play with you Shia.] Eleanora
I didn’t mean to run away. I just wanted to go home like a normal person.
[You did work? What kind of work did you do?] Shia
It seems like caught her attention. She seems to be interested. But I can’t tell her everything, so as usual I simply said it’s about the delivery of a package to the city of Dezerto.
I wasn’t lying. But I’ll keep the crystal plate a secret, and it’ll be a problem if she finds out about the scorpion and ask me to show it. That’s why Eleanora-san was also silent about that.
But she’s going to talk about it to Cliff.
After that, we had dinner, and I decided to stay at Eleanora-san’s house that night.
Yeah, I knew it, I couldn’t go back to Crimonia today. Things don’t go according to schedule. I went to sleep while hugging Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in their cub form.
The next day, we had breakfast, then I saw off Shia who’s going to school, and Eleanora-san, who’s going to the castle.
[Yuna-san. Next time you come to the capital, please tell us a story about Noa.] Shia
[Well, I want to hear about Cliff.] Eleanora
They asked me such requests. I will not come to the capital just to make a report about your family.
But Shia wants to hear Noa’s story, so I agreed.
However, it won’t be interesting if there is Cliff in it.
[Well, I’ll bring you two interesting stories next time.] Yuna
[It’s a promise!] Shia
[I’m looking forward to it.] Eleanora
They waved their hands, then went to their respective destinations, the school, and the castle.
Finally, I who was liberated returned to the Bear House in the Capital alone.
It’s been a whole day since I left the Bear House. I was so tired because of all the things that happened yesterday. It was a jam-packed day, so intense that I couldn’t believe that I parted with Karina yesterday morning.
When I returned to the Bear House in Crimonia, I head into my room and went to bed. Then, I summon Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in their cub form, and played with them.
Still, in all of the Bear Houses, the Bear House in Crimonia is where I’m the most comfortable with. It’s the room where I’ve been using to sleep for the longest time now.
Whether it’s the Bear House for travel or the Bear House in the capital or the other Bear Houses, the Bear House in Crimonia is where I’m settled the most.
I’m done with my work, so I look like a lazy father from somewhere, laying around. I have to take a break, after all, I’ve done my job seriously.
The Bear Puppet began to cry with, while hugging Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were sprawling on the bed.
What?
What’s that?
I was surprised and got up from my bed. And I noticed that the Bear Phone was ringing.
I wonder who it is?
Only Fina and Ruimin have a Bear Phone. Sometimes I get a call from Ruimin. I hurried up, took the Bear Phone out of the Bear Box, and ran magic into it.
{Yuna-oneesan? Can you hear me?} Fina
The voice I heard from the Bear Phone was Fina’s voice.
[I can hear you.] Yuna
{Oh, that’s good. I was able to get through.} Fina
