Chapter 729
Chapter 729
Noa asked me about my schedule and Misa’s schedule.
I have spare time from work, so I had no problems regarding the schedule.
“Hey there, it’s been a while.” (Gran)
“Gran-san, Misa, welcome.” (Yuna)
Misa’s grandfather, Gran-san, and Misa came to the Bear House.
It seemed that Gran-san had been planning to hand over the title of Lord to his son Leonardo and live a life of retirement, but Leonardo was still not entirely dependable, so Gran-san was assisting his son for now.
And this time, it seemed like he came along because Misa wanted to go to Crimonia.
Cliff said that Misa’s father, Leonardo, had asked him for advice about what to do because Gran-san was so doting on his granddaughter, Misa.Could this be what they mean by “daddy friend”?
(T/N: “Daddy friend” here means that the dads of Misa and Noa are friends.)
Come to think of it, what about Cliff’s parents? I wonder if Noa had any grandparents.
I’ve never heard of them.
If there was any problem with Noa’s grandparents, Cliff probably wouldn’t be able to talk about it easily.
I couldn’t talk about my family either.
“Yuna Onee-sama, it’s been a while. Thank you for inviting me on this trip.” (Misa)
“I heard it’s a trip of a few days, but where are you going?” (Gran)
“I haven’t decided anything yet, but it’s probably a secret trip. Don’t ask Misa where we went.” (Yuna)
“Now, I’m curious.” (Gran)
“Don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere bad.” (Yuna)
I’d be in trouble if she started talking about the Land of Wa.
I told Noa to tell Misa that it was a secret trip and not to tell her family.
“Well, I’m sure you wouldn’t take her to a dangerous place.” (Gran)
I’m glad that they trust me.
I looked behind Misa and Gran-san.
There were four female adventurers.
They were the female adventurers who had been guarding Misa and Gran-san during the King’s birthday celebrations.
“Yuna is still wearing a bear costume, I see.” (Adventurers)
Well, it was something like cursed armor.
If I take it off, all my stats would become 1, and I would become the weakest person with no strength, attack power, magic power or speed, not even as good as Fina.
In other words, it would mean that I could die easily.
Rather than being a curse of the bear, it was just that my base stats were almost zero and not improving at all.
But I do have combat skills.
Without Bear Equipment, my physical strength and speed might be at the lowest possible values, but my combat skills would still remain at the highest possible value of 100. But even my combat skills would be useless without physical strength and the speed to back them up.
That’s why I couldn’t take off the Bear Equipment.
“Well then, now that I’ve said hello to the bear girl, I’m going to drop by Cliff’s place.” (Gran)
It seemed that Gran-san came straight to my house as soon as he arrived in Crimonia.
He should have come to see me after visiting Cliff.
“Yuna Onee-sama, I’m also going to greet Noa Onee-sama.” (Misa)
“Yes, by the way, we’re leaving tomorrow.” (Yuna)
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.” (Misa)
Gran-san would be returning home with Marina and the others after his meeting with Cliff, leaving Misa with Noa. I would be one taking Misa home after our planned trip
After Misa waved goodbye to me, Gran-san, Misa and the others went to Noa’s house together.
The next day, Fina and Shuri came to the house.
I had been on an outing trip with Fina and Shuri before using the Bear Transfer Gate, so this time I was initially planning to only take Noa and Misa with me on this trip.
However, Noa told them, “As the members of XYZ Club, Fina and Shuri are coming too.”
I couldn’t hear it clearly, but it seemed like they were in some kind of club.
I asked Fina, but she looked away and said, “Let’s see, I wonder what club it was…”
“I’m looking forward to going out with everyone!” (Shuri)
It had been a while since we went out together, and Shuri was happy.
Since I didn’t take Shuri out very often, all of this might be for the best.
“Shuri, this time it’s for Noa and Misa, so you can’t be selfish.” (Fina)
“I won’t!” (Shuri)
Shuri pouted.
When I went to ask Tirumina-san for permission to borrow Fina and Shuri this time, she said, “You can have them for as long as you like.”
“But, Father, he looked lonely.” (Fina)
Apparently, their father Gentz-san was lonely because his two daughters were going out.
“Didn’t Gentz-san ask you where you were going?” (Yuna)
“He did ask, but my mother managed to deceive him.” (Fina)
Tirumina-san knew about my Bear Transfer Gate, so she was probably able to talk it out with Gentz to let the sisters come with me. Her help was reassuring.
I was glad I told Tirumina-san about the Bear Transfer Gate.
However, it pained me a little that she had to keep it a secret from her husband, Gentz-san. Maybe I should tell Gentz-san about the Bear Transfer Gate some other time.
“So, Yuna Onee-chan, have you decided where you’re going?” (Fina)
“Hmm, for now, I think I’ll go to Mileela and the Land of Harmony?” (Yuna)
There was also the desert town, the elf village, the royal capital, and the towns that were on the way to the elf village. I’ve also cleaned up all my houses in different places with Fina, so even if we suddenly decided to go there, it would be fine.
I should take my time and think about it.
Fina and Shuri were playing with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear when Noa and Misa arrived.
“We’ve been waiting for you.” (Fina)
“Fina-chan, Shuri-chan. It’s been a while.” (Misa)
“Misa-sama, it’s a pleasure to meet you today.” (Fina)
“Good morning, Misa-chan.” (Shuri)
Fina and Shuri were happy to see Misa after such a long time.
“And also, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.” (Misa)
Misa cuddled with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
“I’ve missed you.” (Misa)
“Kuu~n.”
She seemed happy to see Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear after such a long time.
Noa quietly watched over Misa.
“Doesn’t Noa want to give them a hug?” (Yuna)
Normally, when she saw Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, she would rush over to hug them.
“Yes, but I’ll let Misa hug them today.” (Noa)
“You look like an older sister.” (Yuna)
“I’m Misa’s older sister.” (Noa)
She said this while puffing out her chest.
Noa and Misa might not be related by blood, but Misa called Noa “big sister”, so Noa might want to act like an older sister.
“Please take good care of me, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear too.” (Misa)
“Kuun~.”
I wanted to let Misa play with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear a little longer, but it was time to leave, so I called out to her.
“Well then, shall we be leaving soon?” (Yuna)
“Yes.” (Noa)
We moved to a room with a Bear Transfer Gate.
“I heard from Noa Onee-sama yesterday, but is it true that opening this Bear Door leads to another place?” (Misa)
“Only to places where similar doors are installed.” (Yuna)
“Even so, that’s wonderful. There are such magical items, huh?” (Misa)
“I’m sure Noa told you, but you have to keep this a secret.” (Yuna)
“Yes, it sounds like it would be difficult to talk about it.” (Misa)
“Speaking of which, was Noa okay? Didn’t Cliff ask you many questions?” (Yuna)
“I’m fine. I told him that we are going to the Fairy Forest, so I’m sure he’ll be able to cover for you as well.” (Noa)
Certainly, a Bear Transfer Gate also had been placed in the Fairy Forest.
It was not a complete lie.
It was certainly the best way to fool Cliff.
“So, Yuna-san. Where are you taking us?”
“For now, let’s go to the nearest town that is Mileela.”
I said this and opened the door of the Bear Transfer Gate.
It led us to Mileela.
“Is this really Mileela?” (Misa)
The Bear Transfer Gate was kept in a secret room next to my room on the third floor of the Bear House in Mileela.
It was impossible to look outside from this room.
“You will know it when we look outside.” (Yuna)
I led everyone to the next room, which was my room.
“Why don’t you two go and take a look outside.” (Yuna)
When I said this, Noa and Misa ran to the window, followed by Fina and Shuri.
Noa opened the window and looked outside with the energy of someone about to jump out.
“It’s the sea.” (Fina)
“It really is Mileela, isn’t it?” (Noa)
“It’s strange.” (Misa)
“It’s the sea!” (Shuri)
The four of them watched the sea, which they hadn’t seen in a long time, and looked happy.
The view of the sea from this house was the best.
“Well then, shall we go to town?” (Yuna)
“Yes.” (Noa)
“I’m ready.” (Misa)
“Yay!” (Shuri)
The three other than Fina cheered with joy.
Fina seemed to be taking a position to watch over the three of them.
We left the Bear House. We kept Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear small so as not to cause a disturbance.
By disturbance, I mean that if they were big, they would stand out.
After leaving the Bear House, we continued along the road.
If we keep going straight, we’ll come to a prime location with a beach right in front of us.
There used to be a bear slide around here, but it has been hidden for now.
The bathing season was over, so it wasn’t needed at the moment.
“We all went swimming here a while ago, didn’t we?” (Noa)
“I want to play with everyone again.” (Misa)
“We can come again next year.” (Yuna)
I was thinking of having an annual staff trip.
That way, Anzu could see her family at least once a year.
Of course, if Anzu wanted to see her parents, I was more than willing to let her have a day off from work whenever she wanted.
“I’m looking forward to next year.” (Noa)
“Me too.” (Misa)
Noa and Misa were happy.
“Have Fina and Shuri been visiting since then?” (Noa)
“No, I didn’t join. Because Yuna Onee-chan only takes my older sister, I always have to stay at home.” (Shuri)
“Is that so?” (Noa)
Noa looked at me and Fina.
“That’s not true. It’s been a while since I came to Mileela as well.” (Fina)
Fina denied it.
We did come to clean Bear House the other day, but we didn’t go into town, so I wouldn’t say that counts as a visit.
“But, Sis. You often go out with Sis Yuna.” (Shuri)
“I’ll have to ask you about that in more detail.” (Noa)
“Yes, I have to ask too.” (Misa)
Fina was cornered by the three of them.
“Yes, yes. Don’t trouble Fina. She couldn’t discuss the Gate, and we’re all going together now.” (Yuna)
“Ugh, I understand.” (Noa)
“But I’m still curious about where Yuna Onee-sama and Fina-chan went.” (Misa)
“Me too!” (Shuri)
“I’ll tell you later.” (Yuna)
“You promised.” (Noa)
Well, I would only discuss where we went as much as I could.
When I walked around the town, people would look at me, but no one would talk to me.
Apparently there was an unspoken rule in Mileela that they wouldn’t bother me if I was around, so this time, they didn’t gather to greet me. That was a relief for me. Being conspicuous was something I wasn’t good at.
We headed for the harbor at the request of Noa and Misa, who wanted to see the boats up close. It seemed that the morning fishing was over, and there were few people around.
Amidst all this, there was Damon-san, whom I had saved in the snowy mountains before.
“Long time no see, young lady. What’s going on?” (Damon)
“I came to play with these kids.” (Yuna)
When I looked over at Fina and the others, the four of them bowed slightly.
“We met before. If that’s the case, do you want to go on the boat?” (Damon)
“Is that okay?” (Noa)
Noa reacted before I did.
“Oh, of course.” (Damon)
“Actually, I wanted to try it again.” (Noa)
“Me too.” (Misa)
“I want to ride too!” (Shuri)
Following Noa, Misa and Shuri also raised their voices.
“Well then, I guess I’ll take your kind offer and ride with you, Damon-san.” (Fina)
Not only the three of them, but Fina was also happy.
This was the second time for Noa and Misa to be on a boat, but they seemed to enjoy it, even though it had been a while since they last went on a boat.
Of course, Fina and Shuri also enjoyed it.
