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

[When I came back from school, I found Yuna swaying her pretty tail. She said she wanted to see Father, so I brought her here.] Tilia

I’m not swaying my tail. I was just walking normally.

[When I was taking a walk, I found a cute bear, so I followed her.] Eleanora

Eleanora imitated how cute the way Tilia talks.

[You should be working!] King

[I am working.] Eleanora

Didn’t you just say you were taking a walk? The King was as amazed as I am.

[Okay. Thank you for bringing Yuna. You can both step out now.] King

The King waved his hand and tried to drive Eleanora-san and Tilia out of the room like they were some annoyance.

[What? What are you going to do alone with her? Yuna-chan is still a child!] Eleanora

[Father!] Tilia [FBI-san!] Attattin

[Shi・go・to・no・wa・na・shi・da. (It’s about work.) Eleanora, you should know about that.] King

[I’m just joking. You don’t have to be so mad about it.] Eleanora

[It’s because you said something stupid. Don’t make stupid remarks like that because it’s going to have a negative impact on my daughter.] King

I think it’s too late. She’s already under her influence, she’s way too deep. She always said these things in front of Tilia, that’s why Tilia’s remarks were like that.

She’s definitely more influenced by Eleanora-san, than the queen.

On the other hand, Shia was a good kid because she grew up properly.

Shia was more like Cliff in a rather serious way. Even though Noa lives far away, she resembles Eleanora-san. I wonder, was it because of the blood?

[Then I can stay and listen to the report, right?] Eleanora

[That’s not fair. I also want to hear it.] Tilia

[I just asked to do a delivery job.] King

[Then it’s okay if we stay and listen to the report, right?] Tilia

Tilia looked at the King. The King looked at me.

[What do you think?] King

[Why are you asking me?] Yuna

[If it’s just an ordinary report, there is no problem. That’s why I’m asking you. I’ll be in trouble if I get blamed for it later.] King

Did he know something about the pyramid?

[What makes you think?] Yuna

[It took too long. I thought, with your bears, you would come back a little sooner.] King

Certainly, we waited a few days for the adventurers, we explored the basement of the pyramid and dived into the labyrinth. Furthermore, due to the time adjustment, I remained for two days in the city.

If you think about it normally, I should be back much earlier.

[But I might be doing some sightseeing in the city.] Yuna

[In that case, there is no problem. You were late, I thought something might have happened, so I tried to get them out of the room.] King

The King was trying to get them out for me, I see.

Certainly, I cannot speak openly about the pyramid.

But it’s like admitting that something must’ve happened to drive Tilia out of the room. But even if I don’t say anything, they’ll stay and listen.

Either way, it will be the same.

Also, it’ll be a problem if Tilia talked about it at her school…

[Tilia, this is my job as an adventurer.] Yuna

[I knew it, something must’ve happened…] King

[Something happened.] Eleanora

The King had a look.

Eleanora-san looks like she’s an aunt somewhere. Ah, Eleanora-san may look young, but is she an actual aunt?

[Yuna-chan, Did you think something strange just now?] Eleanora

[You’re just imagining things.] Yuna

Don’t go and read people’s hearts.

[Okay. For now, Tilia should leave the room.] King

[Eh?~] Tilia

[Don’t me.] King

[Then, why can Eleanora stay?] Tilia

[Obviously. What would I do when I hear an outrageous story by myself. It’s necessary because she’s in charge of Yuna. And Eleanora knows what I asked Yuna.] King

Eh? What? The person in charge of me? Now, where have I heard that phrase before?

[Then, I will also be in charge of Yuna.] Tilia

That’s not a good idea.

I’m not a bear from a zoo and I don’t need you to feed me.

Moreover, what’s with the princess being in charge of me?

[I also want to hear the report. It’s unfair that everyone is hiding it from me.] Tilia

[That’s not it. I made a promise to Yuna. I simply protect that promise.] King

His promise.

The words reminded me of the hush order for the 10,000 monsters incident and the Kraken. Apparently, the King wanted to keep what I’ve been doing a secret to the public.

It’s harder than I thought.

[Then, on behalf of Tilia-sama, I shall listen to what Yuna-chan has to say.] Eleanora

Eleanora-san’s words had been approved by the King, so she sat on a chair.

[That’s cheating. I also want to hear it.] Tilia

Tilia grabbed my clothes. It doesn’t stretch, but I want you to stop pulling on it. I looked at the King to ask for help.

[You decide.] King

[Yuna……] Tilia

Tilia looked at me in the eyes.

[…………] Yuna

I sigh as if I gave up.

[Don’t tell it to anyone.] Yuna

[Yuna, thank you very much. I won’t tell anyone.] Tilia

Even if I decline her here, she will definitely inquire about it later. Then I should give up and make her keep a promise.

Tilia happily sat on a chair, and so I did the same.

[Please keep quiet about it as well, Eleanora-san.] Yuna

[It’s alright. I have a tight mouth. Oh, but I have to tell about it to my dear Cliff.] Eleanora

[No, please don’t.] Yuna

The King and I sigh at the same time. The King also seems to be having a hard time with Eleanora-san. Do men have a hard time with women in this world?

Cliff seems to have a hard time, too.

Author’s Note:

It’s kinda funny because it was supposed to end on her way back to Crimonia.

I was wondering whether to make Tilia or the crown prince, listen to Yuna’s story, but I decided on Tilia.

Also, the crown prince’s turn has come a long way.

In the activity report, I wrote the difference between the 5 volumes of the book version and the web version. In the future, the story will proceed based on the book version. It may be related to the orphanage, so it would be helpful if you read it before the sea arc.

I apologize for the inconvenience it caused to our dear readers, and thank you.
