<Kuu-n>
I took a bath with Hugging Bear and go to sleep with Hugging Bear.
Petchi petchi, petchi petchi.
The next day, Hugging Bear woke you up. I thank you and get up and go to prepare breakfast.
[Yuna-san, Swaying Bear-chan’s way of waking someone up is terrible.] Shia
Shia comes out while rubbing her belly. When I heard the story, it seems that she took a jumping body slam.
[That’s because Shia doesn’t get up properly.] Yuna
I also heard that she was chatting with Swaying Bear until late. You can’t just keep talking with him like you’re talking to your pet. Well, I can’t say anything about people because I also talk to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
[But isn’t it too early to get up?] Shia
[I don’t want anyone to see the bear house, so we’ll have to leave early.] Yuna
Even if this is far from the highway, someone may still happen to find it.
After eating breakfast, we left for the royal capital. We took a shortcut away from the road and arrived at the royal capital in the afternoon.
[I can’t believe it. We shouldn’t be arriving this quickly.] Shia
[Come on, let’s get going.] Yuna
After returning Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to the bear puppets, we entered the royal capital and I sent Shia home.
[Well then, see you again.] Yuna
[Yuna-san, why don’t you come inside and greet my mother?] Shia
[Hmm, I’m going to the castle, so I think I can meet her there.] Yuna
If I enter the castle, there is a high probability that Eleanora-san will just pop out of nowhere.
[Then, if you could meet my mother, could you tell her that I was back?] Shia
[Got it.] Yuna
After parting from Shia, I head to the castle.
Going through the castle gate as usual. I said to the gatekeeper, <I’ll be out soon, so no need to tell the king>, but he still rushes out, saying, <I can’t>.
Arriving at Flora-sama’s room, knocking on the door. (Of course, with bear gloves removed.)
Anju-san appears from inside the room.
[It’s Yuna-san, welcome.] Anju
She invited me to the room with a smile.
When I entered the room, I saw Flora-sama holding a pen and writing something on a piece of paper.
[Flora-sama, Yuna-san has come.] Anju
[Bear-san!] Flora
When she saw me, she suddenly has a big smile on her face. Seeing this smile makes me want to come to see Flora-sama more often.
[What was Flora-sama doing?] Yuna
[I was drawing Bear-san.] Flora
Flora-sama lifts the paper and shows it to me.
A picture that looked like a black animal was drawn there. Apparently, the black animal seems to be a bear. It’s a cute childish picture.
I don’t think she’ll be an artist in the future, but it’s good to have an artistic spirit from an early age. It fosters sensitivity.
[This time too, you can draw Yuna-san’s picture well.] Anju
[Un!] Flora
[Eh?] Yuna
Wait a minute, I heard a word that I can’t ignore. Perhaps, that black animal is me? She was saying <Bear-san>. It’s a black animal from any angle. It’s good enough to call it a bear with a hundred legs. But this is me?
[Is this black bear me?] Yuna
[Yeah!] Flora
Flora-sama affirms it with pure eyes.
It’s good to think that this is a picture drawn by a little girl. But I want her to at least understand how a human looks.
Well then, I will give Flora-sama a pressed flower as a gift.
[Thank you, Bear-san.] Flora
[Then I’ll decorate it in your room.] Anju
When Anju-san receives the pressed flower in the frame, she hung it on the wall.
[Bear-san, I’ll give you this.] Flora
Flora-sama presents me the picture of the black animal she was drawing earlier with a smile. Of course, my reply has been decided.
[Thank you. I will cherish it.] Yuna
Flora-sama looks happy when I receive it. It’s a picture drawn by Flora-sama. It might be a good idea to save it and show it to Flora-sama a few years later.
Then, while I was drawing with Flora-sama, Eleanora-san arrived later than usual. However, there was only one person who entered the room. The King is nowhere to be found.
[Yuna-chan, you’re here. That means Shia is back?] Eleanora
[She came back together with me.] Yuna
[You escorted her. Thank you. I wonder if she enjoyed it too.] Eleanora
[She had fun. Though I didn’t expect that Shia will come to Crimonia.] Yuna
I was surprised when Shia appeared with Lurina-san.
[Since she heard about the story of the sea excursion, she insisted on going there. So what were you doing?] Eleanora
Eleanora-san looks at the table. There are papers and a pen on the table, and a picture of a bear is drawn on the paper.
[As usual, Yuna-chan is good at drawing.] Eleanora
Looking at the bear picture I drew, she leaked such an impression. I was teaching Flora-sama and hoping that Flora-sama’s drawing skills would improve as much as possible.
[How about me?] Flora
[Flora-sama is also good. This is Yuna-chan right here.] Eleanora
She looks at the picture next to me and answers. That is the picture I got from Flora-sama earlier. Why am I only seeing the picture of the black animal-like creature?
Maybe I look like this to the others?
