[Rasa, is father in the bedroom?] Karina
[Heâs working in his office.] Rasa
[ï¼ï¼] Karina
Karina looks surprised and asks Rasa-san.
[You didnât stop him!?] Karina
[I did try to stop him, but he told me that heâs alright.] Rasa
Karina starts running when she heard Rasa-sanâs words.
Seeing Rasa-san run after Karina, I decided to chase Karina as well.
Karina ran up the stairs and proceeded steadily, then she forcefully opened the door of one of the rooms without knocking and entered it.
[Father! What are you doing despite being injured?] Karina
[Karina, knock before you enter the room.] Balima
Inside the room is a slender man sitting on a chair and looking at some documents.
Karina called him father, then this must be Balima-san right?
[Iâm sorry. But I just heard that father is working.] Karina
[Ah, Iâm fine, I just canât sleep in this situation.] Balima
[But....] Karina
Karina anxiously approached Balima-san.
He doesnât look like heâs hurt, but it might not be visible because it was hidden under his clothes.
[Well then, how about introducing me to the cute lady over there dressed as a Bear?] Balima
Balima-san looks at me while patting Karinaâs head.
[This is Yuna-san, an adventurer. She came from the Kingdom of Elfanica to see father.] Karina
[To see me?] Balima
Surprised at Karinaâs words, he looked at me as if heâs seeing something strange.
[Iâm Yuna, an adventurer. I came here as a messenger for His Majesty. You are the lord of Dezerto city, Balima-san, is it correct?] Yuna
I gave my greetings with unfamiliar speech.
[Ah yes, Iâm the cityâs lord, Balima Ishrit.] Balima
I walked towards him and gave the letter that I received from the King.
[This is, a letter from His Highness.] Yuna
It is easier to show the letter than to have me explain it in words.
Moreover, he canât believe that I have been asked by the King.
It has already been confirmed earlier by Karina though.
[This letter is from the Kingdom of Elfancia... is this real?] Balima
Heâs looking alternately between me and the seal on the letter.
I get what youâre trying to say.
Itâs hard to believe that a girl dressed in a Bear Costume is the messenger for Elfanica Kingdom.
[I believe the details were written in the letter.] Yuna
It is written, right?
If he didnât wrote it, Iâll scream here in the castle.
I donât need such kind of prank.
Balima-san cut the seal of the envelope and took out the letter.
Then once again, he looked between the letter and me alternately.
You can clearly see the surprised expression of his face.
It seems to be written properly.
But, what is written in there, how scary~~~~~~ Iâm getting curious.
[Father, what is written in the letter?] Karina
Karina asked him what I wanted to hear.
[Oh, it looks like there is no doubt that she is the messenger of His Highness the King of Elfanica Kingdom.] Balima
He said that, even though heâs looking at the letter with the face saying [unbelievable].
Well, itâs about the Bear isnât it?
[It also states that she brought a replacement for damaged water magic stones.] Balima
[Father, is that true?] Karina
[May I ask you for confirmation?] Balima
I took out the Kraken magic stone from the Bear Box and placed it on Balima-sanâs desk.
[Here you go.] Yuna
[Huge....] Karina
[So its true....] Balima
Balima-san lifts Krakenâs magic stone.
[Iâve heard that itâll be a replacement for the broken magic stone, is that okay?] Yuna
[Will you really hand over this magic stone to us?] Balima
He looked astonished at the magic stone placed in front of him.
[I think its written on the letter as well.] Yuna
It is written, right?
[Well, I didnât expect this big magic stone to arrive, so what else can I say but thank you.] Balima
[Please give your thanks to His Highness instead.] Yuna
It is my magic stone, true...
But I donât want anything troublesome.
Ostensibly, it is supposed to have been prepared by the King.
[Thank you....] Balima
I gave the Krakenâs magic stone, but his expression doesnât look happy.
As expected, there is a problem isnât there?
[Father....] Karina
Karina also whispers.
Balima-san gently puts his hand on Karinaâs head.
Balima-san once again alternately looked between the letter and me.
And then, he called out to me with a determined expression.
[Yuna-san was it?] Balima
[Yes.] Yuna
[The King says that if I have any trouble, I should read the other letter in this envelope.] Balima
Balima-san takes out another envelope inside the envelope.
Two envelopes?
I havenât heard from the king that there is another envelope.
[It is written that .] Balima
[My permission?] Yuna
I donât even understand what his saying.
I havenât heard anything about this from the King.
[It is also written here .] Balima
Ah, so thatâs what he meant.
He didnât write anything weird, did he?
I want to refuse, but Balima-san seems to be troubled enough to consider getting help from a Bear.
Normally, a sane person wouldnât ask for help from a weird girl like me, even though heâs in trouble.
[In short, is it alright?] Balima
[To be honest, I am kinda bothered. I donât know what the King had written.] Yuna
Well, I wouldnât normally know.
[But the King, whom I know, is a man who does not do anything senseless.] Balima
Is that so?
I have never seen the King working, so I donât know.
I only know the King who eat foods brought by me.
Oh, but when we first met, he might had looked like a King that time.
[I mean heâs the King... That definitely makes sense.] Yuna
I need to clarify the meaning, shouldnât I?
For the time being, Balima-san looks like heâs clinging on a straw.
Its not likely that I would refuse, so I gave my permission.
[Well then, I shall read it.] Balima
When I give my permission, Balima-san opens the other envelope and takes out the letter from inside.
Then when he started reading the letter, his face turns into a surprised expression and looked at me many times.
[Father, what did that letter say?] Karina
Balima-san put the letter face down on the table to hide it from Karina.
[Father?...] Karina
[Yuna-san, is this letter true? I donât think His Highness will lie, but...] Balima
[Hmm, let me see that letter.] Yuna
Balima-san gave me the letter.
Upon receiving, I looked through the letter.
What was written in the letter was the highlight of my career.
The source of the water magic stone was obtained from the Kraken that I had defeated alone.
Furthermore, my subjugation of the Black Viper, the Tiger Wolf and the Black Tiger Wolf was also included.
It didnât say anything about the 10,000 monsters, but something relatively close to it.
They were true and were written to help him trust me, if he wanted my help.
It also said to quietly send me back to the royal capital, should he still not believe it.
It also states that the commission will be paid by the Elfanica Kingdom.
At the end of this letter, a warning was written so that the contents of this letter will not be exposed even to his family.
So, when Karina tried to look into the letter, he put the letter faced down.
But curiously after reading the letter, isnât this a bit much?
The letter states that .
Though at the end it was written .
Maybe he wrote this to make him believe me, but this is a bit disturbing.
I do hope that he wonât write such a letter in the future without my permission.
I wanted to shout out one of the complaints, but I do understand that it is taken into account.
I wonder if this anxiety is because of the King, for having me believe in him.
Did the King knew about the current state of this city before sending me to it?
Is that too much to think about?
[Itâs all true... But would you believe me when I say that though?] Yuna
[It may be more accurate to say that Iâm confused. If itâs a normal letter, I might say that this is a joke and tear it away. A pretty girl dressed like this, was dispatched to deliver such a big magic stone alone and she also had a lot of achievements in her career to back her up. Above all, she have the full trust of the King.] Balima
That really seems to be confusing.
Well, it seems to be absurd saying that a girl dressed in a Bear Costume gained the Kingâs trust and did what was written in the letter.
However, it also looked like his brain wasnât able to cope because of what is written in the letter, is from the King whom he trusts.
Well, normally I wouldnât believe it as well.
[Lastly, may I see your guild card?] Balima
[My guild card?] Yuna
[Yes, Iâd like to confirm it if you donât mind.] Balima
Iâm not sure if Iâm going to leave the town without hearing the story, but Iâm worried about the reason why Karina was in the adventurerâs guild crying.
I canât just go home quietly.
I donât know if Balima-san will ask me to do a job, but Iâll show him my guild card anyway.
When Balima-san received my guild card, he took the crystal plate out of the drawer and placed the card on it.
Then, the information of my guild card came out.
I canât see it from here though.
Balima-san scanned the information on the guild card and after he saw it, he returned the guild card to me.
[Thank you very much... Yuna-san, please... Could you lend me a hand?] Balima
Balima-san bowed down to someone like me dressed as a Bear.
In other words, you believe in me right?
[Father!?] Karina
Karina was overwhelmed by Balima-sanâs words and actions.
Well, itâs more surprising to say that her father bows down to a girl dressed as a Bear.
[Umm, what can I do to help?] Yuna
[Thank you.] Balima
I accepted it, but what was Karina asking for at the adventurerâs guild?
Going to the bottom of that pyramid.
There was no problem because I wanted to go to that pyramid and get inside anyway.
[Then I would like to talk to you about it, Iâm sorry to leave you standing for too long... Please have a sit... Karina, tell Rasa to bring some tea for her.] Balima
When Balima-san asks Karina, a woman enters the room.
Authorâs Note:
I couldnât go as far as to why Karina was in the adventurerâs guild.
Next time, it is explanation time.
Iâm very sorry.
Iâll be busy for a while, so I wonât reply to your comments.
TL Note:
I swear every time I type Karina I always mistype it to Katarina..
