Bear-san, Goes To Sheleen’s Commercial Guild
Going back in time a little…
We arrived at the city of Sheleen before the sun sets.
“You’re really amazing, Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan.”
This is what happens when Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear get serious. But today I made them run back and forth between the mountains and Crimonia, and then to Sheleen. They look fine though, but I’ll have to give them a treat when things settle down.
Along with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, Mylene-san and I approached the city gate. The gatekeeper standing at the gate was surprised to see me, Swaying Bear, and Hugging Bear. And then he muttered, “Could they be the bears that the lord mentioned?” We were able to enter without being asked about Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear, or my outfit.
Was it Gran-san? Or maybe his son, Leonardo-san, told the gatekeeper about me.
When I was here before, I had Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear run through the city, startling the residents. So maybe they were just being considerate.
But I am wondering if the “bear” the gatekeeper was referring to was me or Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
“Yuna-chan. Let’s hurry.” (Mylene)
Once inside the city, Mylene-san and I went to the commercial guild. Of course, I repatriated Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so we ran from here. “Kuma?” “Kuma?” “Kuma-san?” “The bear from that time?”
Outside of Crimonia, this would be the kind of reaction I’d always get.
“Yuna-chan’s outfit really stands out.” (Mylene)
Mylene-san said and started running down a deserted street.
“Mylene-san, are you familiar with Sheleen?” (Yuna)
“I sometimes go to the towns around Crimonia, so I know of it to some extent.” (Mylene)
Despite saying that, she took her steps without hesitation, and shortly after, we arrived at the back door of some building.
“It’s the back entrance to the Commercial Guild. Let’s go in here.” (Mylene)
Mylene-san opened the door to enter the building as if she were entering her own room.
As we entered the building, they were surprised to see a woman in a commercial guild uniform, who suddenly barged in.
“And you guys are?” (Staff)
To the surprised guild staff, Mylene-san showed her guild card and said, “I would like to meet the guildmaster”. The guild staff was momentarily in a daze when she found out that we were “from Crimonia”, but still, she quickly guided us to the guildmaster.
As expected, when they knew she was a guildmaster, it made things quicker.
The guild staff was staring at me, but I decided to not mind it.
“Guild master, the guildmaster of Crimonia, Mylene-sama, is here.” (Staff)
When the guild staff called out, a surprised voice could be heard from inside the room.
“Thank you. I’ll take it from here.” (Mylene)
Mylene-san thanked the guild staff and went inside the room before she was given permission from inside. I could not stay outside the room either, so I followed her.
In the room was a slender man about 30 years old.
The man stood up with a surprised look on his face as Mylene-san entered the room.
Is this person the new guildmaster? From what I have heard, the guildmaster of the commercial guild that had ties to the toad aristocracy was forced to quit and was replaced by a new guildmaster.
“Mylene-san?! Wh- why are you here in Sheleen? If you had called me, I would have gone to Crimonia myself.” (Guildmaster)
Mylene-san is younger than him, but something seems to indicate that the man is in a lower position than her. Is it the difference in how long they served as Guildmaster, not their age?
To begin with, it’s one of the mysteries of Crimonia that she is the guildmaster of Crimonia at such a young age.
“Mylene-san. You know the new guildmaster?” (Yuna)
As expected, she knew about him through her connections as guildmaster, didn’t she?
“Long ago, I helped him when he made a huge blunder and wrote a letter of recommendation for him when the guildmaster of Sheleen was replaced.” (Mylene)
I was surprised by Mylene-san’s words. I didn’t think she had written a letter of recommendation.
The guildmaster of Sheleen tried to prepare tea, but Mylene-san refused.
“It’s fine, I don’t have time for tea.” (Mylene)
She explained why we came here.
She briefly told him about the bandits, that a merchant named Reedent was in the city, and that she was going to entrap him.
“I get what you’re saying. In other words, all I have to do is to make sure that the merchant named Reedent hears that the adventurer and the commercial guild have moved?” (Guildmaster)
“Yeah, if possible, I’d like you to put it in Reedent’s ear today.” (Mylene)
The handover of the package will happen tomorrow. We need to have it in Reedent’s ear by today or tomorrow morning.
Otherwise, we would just end up catching him as is.
According to Mylene-san, they were going to corner him to make sure he can’t get away with a lot of things.
“Also, if the adventurers move too soon, he may avoid contact entirely, so tell them that they will move in about three days.” (Mylene)
Mylene-san and Sheleen’s guildmaster finalized the conversation.
Then, once the conversation was settled, the guildmaster called one of the staff.
