Chapter 265 – Bear-san Realizes She Has No Fashion Sense (1/2)

With Fina’s dismantling lessons finished, we returned to our school festival tour. As we walked around, looking for the next interesting attraction, someone pulled on my Bear Outfit.

「Yuna-neechan, I’m hungry.」

The culprit was Shuri, who looked at me expectantly while rubbing her small belly.

「I have been getting kind of hungry, too.」

Tilia agreed with Shuri, with Noa and Fina nodding by her side.

「Okay, let’s go get something to eat, then.」

「Okay!」

Everybody replied enthusiastically.

「Should we head back to the area Shia-sama is at?」

「Hmm, it’s a bit far from here. If I remember correctly, there should be some food stands that way. Let’s check them out.」

Tilia thought a bit about Fina’s suggestion before deciding it was better to head to the food stands that were closer to us. It was nice to have a guide, but I wasn’t sure if having a princess do something like that was actually okay…

We arrived at some stands selling food, but the whole area was crowded.

「Everyone must have had the same idea, huh.」

Well, it was the perfect time to have lunch, after all. Tilia looked at us, her eyes asking what we wanted to do in this situation. If we let the busy hour pass, the crowd should die down, but we had walked around a lot, and Shuri seemed to be tired after doing all that dismantling. It would be best if we could sit down and enjoy some food as quickly as possible. While we didn’t see any free stands we could get food at without waiting in a line until we grew old, there were some empty tables, but I was sure that if we didn’t take the chance to grab them quickly, they would be stolen from us by others.

「Everyone, do you care about what we eat? We don’t have to eat at the food stands, because I’ve brought food in my item bag.」

I had prepared large amounts of food (about enough to feed several hundred people) and stored it in my Bear Box, so we didn’t necessarily have to wait in line to buy something.

「I want to eat pizza!」

「Ah, me too!」

Shuri and Noa raised their hands for pizza.

「Are you really okay with not getting food from the stands?」

「Yep. I like your pizza, after all.」

「Thank you.」

I patted Shuri’s head.

「Fina, Tilia, would you be okay with pizza as well?」

「Yes, of course.」

「I would love to try some of your pizza.」

We quickly moved to an empty table to secure our spot before it was too late. I then proceeded to bring out some pizza, some bread baked by Morin, some warm soup made by Anzu, and some cold fruit juice.

「This is rather luxurious.」

「Is it?」

The table did really look rather luxurious with all this food piled onto it.

「Okay everyone, feel free to eat whatever you like. There’s plenty more, so let me know if you want some and we run out.」

「 「 「Let’s eat! 」」」

Everyone grabbed whatever they fancied first.

「Tilia, is this your first time having pizza?」

「No, Zelef has made it for me once before.」

I recalled giving Zelef a couple of cheese wheels, so maybe he used them to make the pizza?

「Your pizza is much more delicious, though.」

She said as she ate it happily.

「I appreciate the compliment, but please don’t tell Zelef-san you said that.」

The pizza I served disappeared quickly, along with Morin-san’s bread and Anzu’s soup.

「I don’t feel so good.」

「Me neither.」

Noa and Tilia had both eaten too much. Nobody had forced them to eat so much in such a short amount of time, though. Fina and Shuri, on the other hand, had shown restraint. Shuri ate her food more slowly while Fina had stopped when she had become full.

「You will feel better after resting a bit.」

「Yuna, can I have some more juice?」

「Okay, but you will feel worse if you drink too much, so drink it slowly.」

I warned Noa, but I was actually happy they had eaten everything. As we waited for the two of them to feel better, we continued to each sip on a juice of our own. Personally, I wanted to get moving as quickly as possible, but I patiently waited along with the others, even though, ever since we started eating, I heard whispers around us.

「Bear?」 「Oh, it’s the bear from before.」 「Tilia-sama is with the bear.」

Some of them even mentioned the food we were eating.

「Tilia-sama is eating something I’ve never seen before.」 「Where are they selling that?」 「It looks good.」 「Let’s go look for it.」

A few of the students ran off to search for the non-existent pizza stand. Of course, I didn’t want to bother telling them I had brought this food with me, so I just ignored them. It wasn’t my fault they had run off in search for a stand which they only assumed existed.

After resting for a while, the two bloated girls finally recovered. Since they could move again, I rushed them out of the area to continue our school festival tour.

Shuri held hands with Tilia and me while Fina and Noa chatted a few steps behind us.

「Ah, Fina, your clothes are dirty.」

Noa said and pointed to a part of Fina’s clothing which was dirty, but I couldn’t tell what the stain was.

「I might have gotten it dirty while I was dismantling.」

「Do you want to change?」

「No, it’s okay. It’s only a small stain.」

Hmm, I didn’t think it was good to wear clothing that had been stained while dismantling. She must not want to cause trouble for everybody; she really was a person who didn’t want to bother other people with her problems. Still, something should be done about this.

「Ah, I know. I just got a great idea. Let’s go over there!」

Tilia suddenly thought of something while looking at Fina’s clothes. Tilia didn’t even explain anything and ran off while dragging Fina with her by her hand.

「Tilia-sama!?」

「Over here. Don’t fall behind everyone!」

「Tilia-sama, I will come with you, so please don’t pull me along.」

Fina tired to persuade Tilia to let her go but to no avail. Fina seemed very nervous being dragged around by a princess, almost as if she could faint at any moment.

「Tilia, where are we going?」

「It’s a secret. Well, you will figure it out once we get there.」

It looked like she didn’t want to tell us where she was taking us even though we would learn of it when we got there…

Tilia proceeded to take us into one of the academy buildings. There were programs being held inside the classrooms, which I would have loved to check out, but Tilia ignored everything and beelined straight past them. We didn’t even stop to take a quick look.

We followed Tilia in silence as it seemed pointless to say anything.

「Just a little further; it’s that classroom over there.」

We finally stopped in front of the mentioned classroom and peeked inside. There were various western-styled clothes lined up all around, so maybe this was a clothing shop?

「Waah, there are so many cute clothes.」

There were all types of clothing, and a lot of customers, too.

「These are clothes made by the students. They are very cute, so they became quite popular among the students. The students used good materials to make them, and the price is also affordable.」

I was curious as to what Tilia considered an affordable price. Usually, if a good material was used, the price would rise accordingly. Well, since the clothes are cute, maybe I should buy something for Fina and Shuri.

「Since you showed me your brilliant dismantling skills earlier, I will buy you new clothes as a thank you present.」
