When I woke up in the morning, my body screamed in pain.
It hurts when I raise my arm and it hurts when I bend my leg. It’s full-blown muscle pain. I rubbed my legs and arms in the bath yesterday, but it seems that it didn’t work. It’s funny, I shouldn’t have played enough to get a sunburn yesterday, but I have muscle aches all over my body. When I move my body, I get severe pain in various places. I can’t walk as it is.
When I asked Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear for help, they anxiously cried and snuggled up to me. But even if they come to me, the muscle pain didn’t go away. I picked up my bear puppets that were on my pillow and wore it. After I put it on, I used healing magic on the part where my muscles are aching. The pain gradually relieved. It doesn’t hurt anymore when I bend my arms and legs.
Thanks to the bear magic!
That’s how the morning of the third day went.
The children ate breakfast then went to the harbor to ride the boat. I waved my hand and saw off the children. Everyone, including Noa’s group. The director said she wants to stay in the bear house, but she was taken by the children.
Only me, Fina, and Shuri are left in the bear house.
[Is it really okay for the both of you not to go with them?] Yuna
[Yes, I’m going with Yuna-oneechan.] Shuri
[Don’t you want to get on the boat, Shuri?] Yuna
[Yeah, I wanted to ride the boat. But I also want to see Dega-ojichan.] Shuri
After what happened yesterday, I decided to go around to greet everyone in Mereera. Of course, that includes Dega-san. Upon hearing me say it, Fina and Shuri said they wanted to go with me.
[Also, we already got on the boat when we came here before.] Fina
That’s why I took Fina and Shuri to Dega-san’s inn. Anzu said I don’t need to say hello, but that’s not the case. Greetings are necessary because I am taking care of his daughter.
We walk leisurely from the bear house. I did not return Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to the bear puppets.
When we arrived at the inn and went inside, his muscles welcomes us.
[Welcome. Un? Bear girl?] Dega
[Dega-san, it’s been a long time.] Yuna
When I gave my greetings, Fina and Shuri bowed down and said hello as well.
[Oh, you all look lovely today. I was very surprised because Anzu suddenly came back yesterday.] Dega
[Did you receive a letter?] Yuna
[I got the letter, but it didn’t say anything about her coming back. She thought I would be worried if she wrote it. I just didn’t expect for Anzu to come back to town so quickly.] Dega
By the way, did she mentioned that?
[When I heard that she was there, I thought I’d go to your house, but I’m too busy.] Dega
[As expected, you’re getting a lot of customers now, didn’t you?] Yuna
[Yeah, but when I told Anzu to come back here, she refused. She told me, .] Dega
[That’s not good. I’ll be in trouble if Anzu doesn’t return with us.] Yuna
[No good. If you take Anzu-oneechan, we won’t be able to eat delicious food.] Shuri
I quickly tried to stop Shuri. But Fina also nods a little
Dega-san put his big hand on top of Shuri’s head.
[Half of it was just a joke. Rest assured that I’m not going to take Anzu back.] Dega
[Really?] Shuri
But half of it was serious.
[I’ve heard that Anzu was happily doing her own thing. If she had a hard time and was crying, I’ll take her back.] Dega
[Isn’t more appropriate to say that she shouldn’t come back until she’s a full-fledged chef?] Yuna
[I can’t say that to such a cute girl! If that is my son, I’ll kick his ass and take him back.] Dega
Apparently, fathers in every world are sweet to their daughters.
[But don’t tell her that I said that because it’s embarrassing.] Dega
Even though the muscle dad looks embarrassed, it doesn’t have a MOE factor, so stop making that face.
[But Anzu seems to be doing alright, so I’m relieved.] Dega
It seems that Dega-san heard everything about Anzu’s shop from the guests staying at the inn. The seems to be famous as it is. He also heard it from the people who travel from Mereera to Crimonia and back.
Apparently, Dega-san’s information about Anzu only came from rumors and gossips.
[Keep it a secret to Anzu.] Dega
But doesn’t that mean that Dega-san’s information is also flowing to Anzu?
Well, it’s good that information flows to each other. They don’t have to worry.
Then we talked about how Anzu is doing in Crimonia and then, we went to the next place.
[Are we going to Atora-san next?] Fina
[Atora-oneechan?] Shuri
[Last time, she was very angry when I didn’t show my face to her.] Yuna
In the first place, I don’t know the reason as to why she got angry just because I didn’t show up to her.
