After we had our dinner, I left Ruimin to clean up, so Fina and I took a rest after having a meal while touching Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s belly. It’s fluffy and comfortable. Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear also seem to be comfortable, so it’s a win-win situation.
However, Fina, who is touching the belly of Swaying Bear next to her, repeatedly says, . If that’s the case then, should I go to the adventurer’s guild to have it dismantled? Or does Mumroot-san be able to do it? He was a former adventurer after all and has lived for a long time, so he may have experience in dismantling a cockatrice or two. Although, even if I got him to dismantle it, the adventurer’s guild may still be the better choice considering the seller. But the problem is the commotion that will come afterward.
The most inconspicuous way is to sell it to the King. The King already knows a lot about what I did, so even if I add the cockatrice on the list, it won’t matter much. Also, considering the buyer of the material, the King is the best option.
As I was thinking about that while rubbing Hugging Bear’s fluffy belly, the white bear puppet I left on top of the table began to cry, .
[Yuna-oneesan, your bear glove is crying.] Fina
[It’s my bear phone. Maybe it’s Shuri?] Yuna
I put on my white bear puppet and took out the bear phone from the bear box.
[Hello, Shuri?] Yuna
{Yuna-oneechan?} Shuri
[What’s wrong? Did something happened?] Yuna
{I’m just checking on my sister if she’s okay. Dad was a bit worried though, and he wanted to hear her voice.} Shuri
[Dad is worried?] Fina
Fina asks through the bear phone
{Yeah, were you injured, or what if you were attacked by monsters? He was worried during the whole meal. Mom and I told him you have Yuna-oneechan with you, but even if we said you’re okay, he kept going on with what if she got lost because she got separated from Yuna-oneechan.} Shuri
[Dad……] Fina
Gentz-san really seems to have become a complete doting parent. I wish I could have cute girls like Fina and Shuri. Though, overprotection is also a drawback.
[Etto, Dad doesn’t know about the bear phone, so no wonder he’d worry… Shuri, please tell mom and dad about the bear phone. Also, the bear phone doesn’t connect directly to me. So if anything happens, please tell Yuna-oneesan.] Fina
{OK I got it. Oneechan, be careful out there.} Shuri
After the call is over, Ruimin comes in.
[Yuna-san, I’ve finished washing. Was that Fina-chan’s little sister you were having a conversation with just now?] Ruimin
[Yeah, Shuri is a cute girl who looks just like Fina.] Yuna
They have different personalities, but they are both good girls.
[That was Shuri-chan? I want to see her next time.] Ruimin
Both Ruimin and Shuri knew about the bear gate, so I can go to take one of them to see the other from either side. I can take Ruimin to Crimonia or Shuri to the Elven Village.
[That’s right. I should take either one of you next time.] Yuna
[I want to go to the city where Yuna-san and Fina-chan live.] Ruimin
[I want to walk around the elven village with Shuri.] Fina
Both seem to want to go to the place where the other party lives.
[Well, we have the bear gate, so you guys can go back and forth between places. Not often though, just some other times.] Yuna
[Thank you, Yuna-san. I’m counting on you.] Ruimin
Ruimin and Fina look happy.
[Now then, let’s take a bath and take a rest.] Yuna
[Usually, it’s a luxury to take a bath, even though you can’t really take a bath while camping outdoors.] Ruimin
[Yuna-neechan, is it okay if Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan join us in the bath? I want to wash their bodies to thank them for letting me ride them.] Fina
[Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear?] Yuna
I look at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
[What do you want to do?] Yuna
I asked them.
They replied with a cry and approached Fina.
[Let’s enter together.] Fina
[Then, Yuna-san let’s join in as well. It’s a waste of time to bathe separately.] Ruimin
[I’ll take one later] Yuna
It is better to enter alone.
Even then, Ruimin and Fina grabbed my wrist and pulled me in.
[I’ll wash your back.] Ruimin
[I will wash your hair.] Fina
Furthermore, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear rubbed their bodies against me. I let out a sigh.
[Okay. Stop pulling me. I’ll head there together with you.] Yuna
I couldn’t fathom these 4 will go to the bath, yet I decided to make that 5 by partaking in it.
The next morning, maybe they slept well, they were already awake when I woke up.
