330 Bear-san, Goes to the Castle to Report. (1/2)

I used the Bear Gate to instantly return to the Bear House in the royal capital.

Going to a faraway place was quite difficult, but the return trip was very easy, so the Bear Gate really helped me a lot. The instantaneous movement was also good, but this one was rather convenient. It can also be used to defeat the Scorpion just like the last time.

Well, it’s nice to be back after some time, but it’s also a good idea to go and meet with the King as soon as possible.

So I’ll make time adjustments here as well.

I have many things to do. But first, I have to clean the Bear House in the royal capital that I don’t use often.

Since it was only used as a base for moving, it has accumulated dust. I don’t know when I’m going to bring an acquaintance.

Fina might stay with me here.

I’ll spend my time cleaning, washing, etc. Then, in the afternoon, I’ll head to the castle when it’s time for a snack.

While I was heading to the castle in the shape of a bear, I heard the sound of someone running from behind.

What’s that about?

someone was shouting my name. When I looked back, a beautiful blonde girl hugged me.

[Tilia?] Yuna

It was Tilia in her uniform who hugged me.

[Yuna, what are you doing here? are you perhaps heading to the castle?] Tilia

[Yes, but did Tilia just came back from school?] Yuna

Well, she’s wearing a school uniform, so it’s obvious.

[Yup. So while I was on my way back to the castle, I ran because I saw the back of someone familiar walking in front of me.] Tilia

It’s embarrassing to be told with such a cute smile.

[Does Tilia walk from school?] Yuna

[Yeah, that’s right.] Tilia

[Even though you’re a princess? Don’t you use a carriage or be guarded by an escort?] Yuna

[I go by carriage to school. But I go with my friends on the way back, so I’m walking back home.] Tilia

I thought she was being protected by a strict bodyguard, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Well, there wasn’t one at the school festival either.

However, it’s quite surprising that she’s not using the carriage on her way home. Was it okay for the princess to be walking out here alone?

Though I remembered one time, Tilia’s father, the King himself, went to the Bear House alone.

I get it.

The members of the royal family were doing whatever they please. It’s no use thinking about it.

[So is Yuna going to see Flora?] Tilia

[I am going to meet with His Majesty today.] Yuna

[With Father?] Tilia

[He asked me to do a job. I’m going to report it because the job was done.] Yuna

[Speaking of which, Yuna is an adventurer.] Tilia

That’s right.

By no means, my occupation and my race was a bear.

I’m a human adventurer.

[But it’s amazing that Father personally asked you to do a job.] Tilia

[Eh?] Yuna

[He’s the King, so he won’t ask you if he didn’t trust you.] Tilia

[It just kinda happened. There’s something I wanted to get there. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t do it.] Yuna

[Is that right? Father seems to like Yuna very much.] Tilia

Um, that King?

I have to think about that.

……I wonder if that’s true?

[The food you bring were very rare.] Tilia

[I think that’s what he likes very much.] Yuna

He just wanted to eat pudding.

After some time while I was having a casual talk with Tilia, I can see the castle gate.

[Tilia-sama, welcome home.] Guard

[I’m home.] Tilia

[Also, it seems that Yuna-dono is with you?] Guard

[It just happened by chance.] Yuna

The soldiers were used to my responses. They were hardly surprised by it.

Though sometimes when they change shifts, there were others who were very surprised. But quite often, the soldiers who knew me were at the gate.

[When Yuna-dono comes, we were told to take her to His Majesty the King.] Guard

[Shall I go there alone? Or with someone else?] Yuna

[I shall take you…] Guard

[It’s okay. I’ll take her.] Tilia

[Tilia-sama?] Guard

Tilia stopped the soldiers who were trying to take me and offered to take me instead.

[But……] Guard

[Leave it to me. Father is in the Oval Office, isn’t he? I’m going with Yuna.] Tilia

Tilia grabbed my Bear Puppet and she donna-donna me into the castle. The gate guard saw us off without saying a word.

While we’re walking, I met someone I wouldn’t want to see.

[Ara, Yuna-chan, and Tilia-sama.] Eleanora

[Eleanora-san. Are you skipping your work again?] Yuna

[Even Yuna-chan, is saying the same thing as His Majesty. I’m just taking a break. So, why are Yuna-chan and Tilia-sama together?] Eleanora

[Yuna is going to meet with Father, so I’m taking her to his office.] Tilia

Eleanora-san thinks a little.

[Well then, I will also go with you.] Eleanora

[Hey, are you really working?] I wanted to tsukkomi her, but I held back… Well, she’s always like that anyway.

[I’m not going there to play. I’m not giving you delicious food.] Yuna

It’s a problem if she misunderstood why I’m here, so I’ll just say that just in case.

[Yuna-chan, just what do you take me for?] Eleanora

I was right, aren’t I?

I always go to Flora-sama’s room. Then you’re coming in from out of nowhere and eat food every time, weren’t you?

[Come on, let’s go.] Eleanora

I got sandwiched between Tilia and Eleanora, so I’m being donna-donna by both of them.

And so, we arrived at the usual office.

[Father, I’m coming in.] Tilia

She opened the door without waiting for a reply from inside and entered the room.

[Tilia? I’m working right now…… Yuna? And Eleanora?] King

The King, who was going through the mountains of papers, looked at Tilia and noticed that I and Eleanora-san were standing next to her.

[Yuna, you’re back.] King

[Just a moment ago.] Yuna

That’s a lie.

[So why are you together with Tilia and Eleanora?] King
