They’re both girls. And that’s a feature I don’t have. I don’t mind choosing accessories for other girls. But when it comes to my own, I can’t even think about what to choose.
[Are you not buying one for yourself, Yuna-oneesan?] Fina
[Unlike you two, I don’t look good with it.] Yuna
No matter what hairpiece I put on my bear hood, a necklace around my bear neck, a brooch on my chest, or a bracelet on my wrist, it will not look good on my bear costume.
If any of the idiot rangers I met at the mine were here, they might say, <You need a collar for your pet>. But I don’t have a collar. And if someone did say it, they would get a bear punch.
[Yuna-oneesan has beautiful hair, so I think it would look good on you.] Fina
[Yuna-san, your hair is long and beautiful, you know? If I were a man, I would never leave you alone.] Ruimin
[Thank you, both of you.] Yuna
I’m not one to take their flattery for granted. And moreover, these two really adore me. I may not be able to tell if they were telling the truth. So I’ll just listen to what they have to say.
After Fina decides on hair ornaments for herself and Shuri, we decided to look for something that will go well with Noa’s golden hair. Red, blue, green, and silver all seem to go well with Noa’s golden hair.
Then we each buy a hair ornament.
I’ll pay for the hair ornaments. However, Fina would pay for Shuri’s hair ornament by herself. I also thought about getting one for Flora-sama, but I didn’t know if it would be appropriate for royalty to wear, so I decided not to.
Fina and Ruimin quickly put on the hair ornaments they had purchased. Fina has a hairpiece made of blue flowers, and Ruimin has a hairpiece made of red flowers.
[You both look good.] Yuna
[[Thank you very much.]] Fina/Ruimin
A pretty girl looks good no matter what she wears. If I wear it, I’d still look like a female bear.
[But what should I buy for Lucca? He won’t be happy if I buy him hair ornaments or accessories.] Ruimin
[Since he’s a boy, maybe a knife would be nice?] Rikka
That’s a daughter of a blacksmith for you, her immediate suggestion would definitely be a knife.
[Hmm, but dad might get mad if I give Lucca a knife without permission.] Ruimin
[Does your brother have anything he likes?] Yuna
[In the village, the part where we’re running around in the forest.] Ruimin
We explored the city, looking for things that might be a suitable souvenir of Lucca.
[Oh, maybe this is a good place.] Ruimin
Ruimin looked into the store through a small window.
[Those are figurines.] Ruimin
As we entered the store, we saw rows of figurines made of iron, each as tall as a can of juice or a small plastic bottle.
There are figures of armored knights and adventurers made of iron. There are many different poses. Some are standing normally, others are holding swords.
If you put this one and this one together, it looks like they are fighting. In that case, it may be better to put a monster in the middle.
Even so, it’s well made for something out of iron.
[It looks cool. Maybe Lucca will like this.] Ruimin
[It’s very popular, and merchants come from all over the city to buy it. That’s why you can buy them cheaper than in the royal capital or other cities.] Rikka
[The shelves over here are lined with animals.] Fina
There are horses, cows, pigs, birds, and animals I’ve never seen before. If I bought them all, I could make a miniature zoo. There are also reptiles on the other shelves. I wonder who would want snakes and frogs?
While I was thinking about such things, Fina and Ruimin were seriously looking at the shelves lined with animals, as if they were searching for something.
[I don’t see any bears.] Fina
[Yeah, it’s not here.] Ruimin
Apparently, the two of them were looking for a bear. But I’m pretty sure there aren’t any. Maybe they don’t make them because they’re not popular? Although, that makes me sad.
A female clerk approached Fina and Ruimin, who was looking so disappointed.
[I’m sorry. All of the bear figurines have recently been bought by the merchants of the Kingdom of Erfanica. I heard that the number of customers who want to buy bears is increasing. So, even though I feel bad for you bear-loving girls, I’m sorry but we’re sold out.] Clerk
The store clerk told us while looking at my appearance.
I don’t dress like this just because I like bears. But the shopkeeper was looking at me with a smile.
Oi! Don’t look at me like that.
[But I wonder why the bears are selling so well?] Rikka
[U~u, I wanted a bear.] Ruimin
There was no iron bear figurine, so we gave up and left the store.
She should have bought the knight one. A knight figurine would have been cool.
But Ruimin never gave up.
Next, we went to a woodcarver’s store, but there were no woodcarvings of bears either. As expected, a merchant from the Kingdom of Erfanica had bought it.
[I don’t think you need to be so fixated with bears.] Yuna
