Chapter 82 – Bear-san And Some Free Time (2/2)

「But there will be people who will want to steal it.」

「If there was someone who tried to steal a royal recipe, he would receive an appropriate punishment.」

The king’s smile was frightening…

「And it’s not really your fault that you can’t come here frequently, right? Crimonia is far, after all. I would be grateful if you just visited from time to time, so that my daughter is happy.」

I couldn’t tell them that I could come here instantly by using the Bear Transfer Gate.

「It’s just, I want to go to the sea, you see.」

「The sea?」

「There is a sea east of the capital, right?」

It was information I had received from the information gathering I did awhile back.

「So, you are going to the sea, huh?」

「I want some ingredients from the sea, after all.」

「A food hunt again?」

「If you forget the happiness of eating food, you lose something really important in life!」

「You are right.」

The king ate a mouthful of pudding.

「It would be great if there was a sea near Crimonia.」

「There is, you know?」

「…Huh?」

I froze when I heard the information coming out of Eleanora-san’s mouth.

「Oh, you are talking about that, right?」

「What are you talking about?」

「You know how there is a big mountain northeast of Crimonia?」

I nodded.

There was a big mountain that you could see from the town. You could even say that it was a mountain range.

「If you cross that mountain, you’ll be able to reach the sea, you know. But well, it’s quite difficult to cross or to get around it.」

So there was a sea on the other side of the mountain, huh.

If you were talking about distance, it was close.

「There is even a town over there, you know. It is difficult to reach it without a boat, but, with Yuna-chan’s bears, you could do it, I think?」

「Yuna’s bears?」

The king tilted his head.

「Yuna-chan has bears she can summon, you know?」

「You can even do something like that?」

Eleanora-san explained everything for me.

She explained every single detail, telling them that there were two of them, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

Upon listening to this story, Princess Flora’s eyes were sparkling.

The king looked interested too, so after the talk, I was asked to summon the two of them.

Was it really okay to summon them in the princess’s room?

「Is it really okay?」

「I don’t mind.」

For now, since I had permission, I summoned Hugging Bear.

「It’s really a bear.」

「Bear-san!」

Princess Flora approached Hugging Bear.

The king was only looking and didn’t try to stop her.

Doesn’t he have any sense of crisis?

「Who are you really?」

「I am a D-rank adventurer.」

「Are there any D-rank adventurers who can exterminate more than 10,000 monsters…? 」

「Now that I think about it, Yuna-chan, you killed more than 10,000 monsters, but stayed at D-rank?」

「That’s because it was an unknown A-rank party that killed all of the monsters, you see .」

「It would have been better if we just revealed your name…」

「Don’t wanna.」

「You don’t want to stand out, even though you are wearing clothes that stand out, something like that, right?」

She said that while looking as if she had given up on the issue.

I wanted to go back quickly after dropping off the pudding, but Princess Flora didn’t want to leave Hugging Bear, so I stayed at the castle until evening.

Author’s note:

The sea~

(TL note: Well, what can Yuna-chan do if she goes to the sea… She can’t wear a swimsuit, because she has to stay in bear mode outside…. Well, we will see, right?)
