Chapter 732: Chapter 730

Bear-san, Noa and the others went to Mileela Part 2

After disembarking the boat, we wandered around the town of Mileela and came across an eccentric.

“Yuna!” (Atora)

However, that person was not an eccentric; it was Atora-san, the Guild Master of the Adventurer’s Guild in Mileela.

I wondered if she ever felt cold.

“Yuna, it’s been a while. What brings you here today?” (Atora)

“I’ve brought these kids to play with me.” (Yuna)

Atora-san looked in the direction I was looking.

“Fina-chan and Shuri-chan, and the other two were the ones who came to the beach to play before, right?”

She also remembered Noa and Misa.

Noa and Misa each greeted her.

“Why are you here, Atora-san?” (Yuna)

“I’m just taking a break. I thought I’d go somewhere and have lunch.” (Atora)

So Atora-san was just wandering around like us, too.

“Speaking of which, I’m hungry.” (Noa)

“Yeah, I’m hungry as well.” (Shuri)

Noa and Shuri were rubbing their stomachs.

“Well then, how about we have lunch together? I’ll treat you.” (Atora)

“Is that okay?” (Yuna)

“It’s not a problem.” (Atora)

We took Atora-san up on her offer and ended up being treated to a meal.

We ended up at the inn of Deiga-san, Anzu’s father.

His establishment was both an inn and a restaurant.

“Why are you girls here?” (Deiga)

As soon as he saw me, Deiga-san said those words.

“We’ve come to have lunch.” (Yuna)

“I invited them.” (Atora)

“No, that’s not what I asked. Well, I owe you girls a debt of gratitude for taking care of me at Crimonia, so I’ll treat you today. Order as much as you like.” (Deiga)

“No, that’s not okay. I’m the one who’s treating them.” (Atora)

“Oh, I see. Then I’ll take care of your meal as well, so that should be fine.” (Deiga)

“I want to thank Yuna.” (Atora)

“Me too. I was helped when I went to Crimonia a while ago.” (Deiga)

“No, I’m the one who should be paying. I’m the one who was taken care of by the town and the Adventurer’s Guild.” (Atora)

I didn’t quite understand, but Deiga-san and Atora-san started arguing over who should be the one to foot the bill.

“Yuna-san…” (Noa)

“Yuna Onee-san…” (Misa)

“Yuna-chan…” (Shuri)

Fina was also looking at me.

Wait, do I have to deal with this?

“I’ll pay for the meal. Is that okay?” (Yuna)

“No!” (Atora)

“No!” (Deiga)

I couldn’t do anything to stop them.

It was troublesome to stop well-meaning, pushy salespeople.

Fina and the others told me to give up, so I left Deiga-san and Atora-san arguing and went to see Anzu’s mother.

“Here, Auntie. This is a souvenir from Anzu.” (Yuna)

I handed her a paper bag.

Anzu had asked me to give it to her if I ever went to Mileela again.

“Oh, thank you.” (Anzu’s Mother)

Anzu’s mother accepted the gift from Anzu.

I didn’t ask what was inside, but I suppose it was probably not something remarkable since the contents were bought at Crimonia.

When I returned to the dining room, Deiga-san had a triumphant look on his face.

“I lost.” (Atora)

Atora-san looked frustrated.

I didn’t see what they were competing in, but it seemed like Deiga-san won.

“Help yourself to as much food as you like.” (Deiga)

We took advantage of Deiga-san’s kindness, and we were treated to a bountiful meal.

It was just as delicious as Anzu-san’s cooking.

As expected of Anzu-san’s Master.

“Do you have nothing to do?” (Atora)

That was not good manners.

…I undoubtedly have free time, though.

“I don’t have a fixed job, and I have a lot of spare time, so I can visit whenever I like.” (Yuna)

Unlike Deiga-san, my work schedule was flexible.

I choose when to work and when to go where I want to go. Basically, I was not bound by anyone.

Yeah, that sounds great.

Well, even in my old world, I was a shut-in, but basically, I was free as well.

“So, how long are you guys staying for?” (Atora)

“We are just going to look around for a bit and then head home.” (Yuna)

There were still more places I wanted to go.

“I see. I’d like to show you around, but…” (Atora)

“Don’t worry about it. Aren’t you busy, Atora-san?” (Yuna)

Despite her appearance, Atora-san was still the Guild Master of the Adventurer’s Guild.

I didn’t know how much work she had, but I doubt she would push work onto her subordinates. I think that Atora-san, as the boss, was also busy with various things.

After filling our stomachs with Deiga-san’s cooking, we thanked him and left the Inn.

Atora-san also went back to the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Yuna-san, you’re popular.” (Noa)

“We can see that everyone adore Yuna Onee-sama.” (Misa)

“That’s not it. I may have said it before, but I just helped someone who was in a bit of trouble.” (Yuna)

“Even if it’s just a small thing for you, Yuna-san, it’s a big deal for everyone in town.” (Noa)

“I think so too.” (Misa)

Noa and Misa praised me, but I was only doing what I could.

I wouldn’t have been able to help without the Bear Equipment.

That was why I couldn’t take off this bear outfit.

We went shopping at a souvenir shop.

They were selling things like bear charms.

According to my memory, I heard that fishermen who go out to sea buy them as a charm for safety.

So I think only the residents of Mileela buy them.

…but then Noa and the others started looking at them as if they were going to eat them.

“There are more kinds now.” (Noa)

“That’s true.” (Misa)

Apparently, they bought some when we were on a company trip last time.

Noa and Misa started choosing the bear charms. Then Shuri joined in, and in the end Fina also joined in.

“Uncle, are they selling well?” (Noa)

“Of course. People who have heard the story of the fisherman buying them as a charm to live safely.”

Could it be that the residents of Crimonia were also buying them?

…I decided not to think about it too much.

As we who had bought bear charms set off, Shuri called out to me.

“Yuna-chan, there’s a suspicious looking person over there.” (Shuri)

There was a person walking around, looking around nervously, in the direction that Shuri was pointing.

“Jeremo-san?” (Yuna)

“Oh, it’s you, Bear Girl. Don’t scare me like that.” (Jeremo)

He looked at my face, surprised, then relieved.

This person was Jeremo-san. He was the Guild Master of the Commerce Guild. He was a serious and kind person at heart, but he often skipped work and left the Commerce Guild.

“Skipping work again?” (Yuna)

“No, I’m taking a break voluntarily because I have too much work.” (Jeremo)

That’s called slacking off. I dislike work as well, so I couldn’t blame Jeremo-san.

“Are you that busy?” (Yuna)

“Ever since that tunnel opened, I haven’t had a moment to rest. How many times have I wanted to destroy that tunnel!?” (Jeremo)

He said this while making a clenched fist.

He seemed to be serious.

“If you do that, everyone will be in trouble.” (Yuna)

“I know. I’m just saying. Everyone is living more happily than before. I can hear laughter everywhere. I’m happy to think that I’m even a little bit helping to bring those smiles.” (Jeremo)

“Jeremo-san…” (Yuna)

“But you know, I have so much work. Recently, I’ve started doing business with the town of Shirin Town, and the amount of work just keeps increasing. No matter how much I do, it never seems to get any less.” (Jeremo)

Come to think of it, didn’t you say a while ago that you were going to start doing business with the town of Shirin?

“Aren’t there more guild employees?” (Yuna)

“Young lady, don’t you know that when there are more staff, my work increases?” (Jeremo)

“What? If there are more staff, won’t Jeremo-san’s work decrease?” (Yuna)

Noa, not Jeremo-san, answered my question.

“Yuna-san, if the number of subordinates increases, it’s the job of those above to check on them. If the number of employees goes from 10 to 20, the number of reports will also double.” (Noa)

“Exactly. When the number of subordinates increases, so does the amount of work. You’re a smart girl.” (Jeremo)

Jeremo-san praised Noa.

“I’m the daughter of a Lord, after all.” (Noa)

“Lord…?” (Jeremo)

“This girl is the daughter of the Lord of Crimonia.” (Yuna)

“Oh, yes. Now that you mentioned it, she is indeed the daughter of the Lord of Crimonia, I saw her when I went to greet him.” (Jeremo)

“It’s been a while, Jeremo-san.” (Noa)

Noa introduced herself once more after Jeremo-san remembered her.

Apparently, Jeremo-san had been to Crimonia before. Well, Cliff wouldn’t be able to come to Mileela without difficulty, so if they were to meet, it would be Jeremo-san who would go out to see him.

“By the way, this child is the daughter of the Lord of Shirin Town.” (Yuna)

“The lord of Shirin’s town… I am indebted to your father and grandfather.” (Jeremo)

Jeremo-san bowed deeply.

“There sure are plenty of people here now.” (Yuna)

I looked around.

There was no trace of the deserted landscape I had seen when I first came to Mileela.

Even when I came here on our company trip last time, it was lively and there were more people around, but the atmosphere hasn’t changed that much.

“Ah, this is all thanks to you, young lady. We’re all grateful for the seafood sales.” (Jeremo)

Then, as we were talking, a member of the Commerce Guild took Jeremo-san away from his spot of idleness.

After that, we enjoyed the town of Mileela and returned to the Bear House in the town of Mileela.

We decided to stay in Mileela for the night.

“The room and bath are clean.” (Shuri)

We then took a bath and relaxed in my room.

“The other day, when I decided to bring Noa and Misa here, I came with Fina to do some cleaning.” (Yuna)

That was hard work.

“Is that so?” (Noa)

“I apologize for the troubles I have caused.” (Misa)

“Ugh, I want to help too.” (Shuri)

“Next time, I’ll get Shuri to help.” (Yuna)

It would really be a big help if more people could help with something as bothersome as cleaning.

What’s more, it was great that she volunteered to help with the cleaning.

I guess this was thanks to Tirumina-san’s education.

Then, we fell asleep while gazing at the night sea.
