384 Bear-san Decides to Go to Ludnik, The City of Dwarves (1/2)

I decided to go to the dwarven city of Ludnik. So I came to see the blacksmiths Gordo-san and Nert-san before I left.

[That’s why, if you have a message or a letter to an acquaintance, I will deliver it.] Yuna

[Hey, Yuna-chan is going to Ludnik!] Nert

Gordo-san, who seemed to be in the back, came after Nert-san called him.

[Give my regards to my master.] Gordo

Gordo-san, after saying his piece, tried to turn back but Nert-san hit his head before he could escape.

[Even though Yuna-chan came all the way here you’re showing her such an attitude? I’m sorry. We haven’t returned since we left Ludnik and I’m wondering what should I do with Gordo.] Nert

[Do you send letters at least?] Yuna

[We send letters once a year.] Nert

In that case, they’re better than Sanya-san. Dwarves are different from elves after all.

[So, why do you want to go to Ludnik?] Nert

[I found a rare stone, so I want to go there and have them look at it. Also, I want to go and see what the city of Dwarves looks like.] Yuna

Aka. Killing time. What I mentioned was the Bearmonite. Though, I’m not really expecting anything from the stone.

[A rare stone?] Nert

I took the Bearmonite out of the bear box.

[It’s a stone that I’ve never seen before, and you want to go to Ludnik because you want to see the city of Dwarves?] Nert

[I’m kind of curious about that stone, and visiting a different city is my hobby.] Yuna

It’s been a long time since I visited another city in this world. There were no dwarves in my former world, so it’s fun to see their livelihood.

[Then wait a minute. I’ll have Gordo write a letter now.] Nert

Nert-san told Gordo-san to write a letter.

[Don’t you want to write one Nert-san?] Yuna

[I don’t have any relatives.] Nert

[I’m sorry.] Yuna

[Don’t worry. Yuna-chan, the kids you are looking after have no parents. I’m the same. So when this guy, Gordo, said he was leaving the city, I went with him.] Nert

[Looks like you’re on good terms.] Yuna

[Well, I was saved from loneliness because I have Gordo.] Nert

Gordo-san turns his back on Nert-san’s words. Are you shy?

But it’s a sweet relationship.

[Here are my letters. It’s addressed to my master and my parents. I also wrote about my daughter. If anything, they should be able to help you.] Gordo

After Gordo-san wrote the letters behind Nert-san with his back turned. He placed it on the table and I receive it. On the back of the letter, the words, and were written. And if you look closely, you can see something that looks like addresses.

[I will deliver it properly.] Yuna

[Even though it’s you, Yuna-chan, be careful out there.] Nert

[It’s okay because I have Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear with me.] Yuna

I went to Tirumina-san’s residence to tell Tirumina-san and Fina that I was leaving Crimonia for a while. Tirumina-san was there, but Fina and Shuri weren’t around.

[Are you going out for a job in another city and it will take a while?] Tirumina

[No. I’m thinking of going to Gordo-san’s hometown, the city of Dwarves.] Yuna

[The city of dwarves? I’ve heard about it when I was an adventurer. It must have been quite far.] Tirumina

Of all of the bear gate I have set up, the closest one I can depart from was the elf village.

[It shouldn’t take long because I have a bear gate near the destination.] Yuna

If I depart starting from Crimonia by horse-drawn carriage, it will take a long time. However, if I use the bear gate, followed by riding Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, I can save a lot of time.

[That gate is really convenient, huh.] Tirumina

[I have to go there at least once so I can install it, though.] Yuna

[It’s still convenient enough.] Tirumina

I’ve been indebted to the bear gate. I can go to the royal capital as if I’m just walking in the neighborhood.

[If anything happens, please contact me, I’ll return quickly.] Yuna

Fina has a bear phone so they can get in touch with me quickly.

[Normally, even if you say that you can easily come back, you can’t come back. However, Yuna-chan can really do it, so I can’t really say anything about it. Also, that thing, Fina’s bear phone. Usually, it’s difficult to keep in touch with people far away, but with it, it’s easy to talk to you no matter where you are.] Tirumina

[Please keep that a secret.] Yuna

[But then, are you going to leave Fina? I thought you’d take Fina with you. You can take her with you, you know?] Tirumina

[You’re permitting me to take your daughter that easily?] Yuna

[Because Yuna-chan’s credibility increased due to what happened last time. Even if you faced something dangerous, you can come back by using that gate. Also, I heard from Fina that you always took good care of my daughters. And if a monster appears, Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan will protect them as their escorts. However, never take them to a dangerous place. If there is something dangerous, you have to escape through the bear gate.] Tirumina

Is she talking about the time during Noa’s escort, mining, or Targui?

[If Yuna-chan cares so much about my daughter, you can take her with you. Also, the experience of going to various places is not easy to come by. If Yuna-chan doesn’t have a problem with taking her, and she wants to go, then by all means.] Tirumina

[Tirumina-san…] Yuna

[Because of my illness, I made her struggle. I want her to be free.] Tirumina

[What about Shuri?] Yuna

[Hmm, isn’t it still too early for her? And if both Fina and Shuri are gone, Gentz will be sad.] Tirumina

After becoming a family, Gentz-san seems to have become sweet to Fina and Shuri. It seems that he is happy to be called . Apparently, Gentz-san was a genuine doting parent.

[Fathers are often told that they are dirty or smelly, and they are treated as an obstacle. I used to think that way too.] Tirumina

Tirumina-san thinks of the old days. I feel sorry for Gentz-san, but it seems unavoidable when his children grow up.

Speaking of which, I haven’t asked about it until now, but I wonder about Tirumina-san’s mom and dad if Fina and Shuri still have grandpa and grandma. Although considering that Tirumina-san’s parents weren’t there when she was ill, that may not be the case.

While Tirumina-san and I are talking, the front door opens.
