Chapter 421 - Bear-san, Asks About Bearmonite. (1/2)
Bear-san, Asks About Bearmonite.
Fina and I returned to Crimonia.
Yesterday, when I told Tirumina-san that we’re heading home, she said she would wait for us at the orphanage, so we went to the orphanage.
When we came near the orphanage, I saw the children of the orphanage playing. One of them is Shuri.
[Oneechan!] Shuri
[We’re back.] Fina
Shuri ran towards Fina, then Fina hugged Shuri.
Then, I asked Shuri and the children where Tirumina-san was, they said she was at the Director’s office.
We were led by the children into the orphanage and went to where the director was.
In the room, there is the Director, Tirumina-san, and a young child. The young child is holding a stuffed bear. Thanks to the stuffed bear, she gradually cries less. I’m glad it seems to be helping.
[Tirumina-san, we’re back.] Yuna
[Mom, we’re back.] Fina
Fina ran up to Tirumina-san.
[Welcome back. Yuna-chan, did Fina give you any trouble?] Tirumina
Tirumina-san asks while petting her daughter’s head.
[She’s still a good girl as ever.] Yuna
I briefly recount the events in the dwarven city. Then, when I took out the cooking utensils for the orphanage that Tirumina-san asked Fina for from the bear box, the Director thanked me.
[Thank you, Yuna-chan. This will make cooking a lot easier.] Director
[If you want to say thanks, please give it to Tirumina-san and Fina. I’m just bringing it here.] Yuna
[Oh, that’s right. Tirumina-san, Fina-chan. Thank you as well.] Director
[I was just asked by my mom.] Fina
Fina looks embarrassed.
[Well, it’s dangerous to use old ones and it’s hard to use a bunch of small pots and pans.] Tirumina
[Director. If you find anything lacking besides the cooking utensils, please let me know.] Yuna
The director doesn’t often tell me what she needs. So I don’t know what inconveniences they may be having. However, Tirumina-san, who has been staying with them more and more, has been checking on the orphanage and buying things that are missing. This time, pots and pans and other cooking utensils are part of them.
Then Liz-san and Nifu-san came over and were overjoyed to see the new pots, pans, and all of the cooking utensils.
Next, I head to Anzu’s store together with Tirumina-san, Fina, and Shuri.
[I’ve been making a lot of soup and I didn’t have enough big pots. I am also very happy with my new frying pan. Thank you, Yuna-san.] Anzu
Anzu looked happily at the big pots I had bought.
[If you’re going to thank someone, thank Tirumina-san.] Yuna
[Yes, of course, thank you, Tirumina-san.] Anzu
[It’s just that I’ve been wanting one of these for a while.] Tirumina
I also left the pots and knives for frying use. If I wanted to buy a knife to handle fish, I should have bought one in the town of Mereera, but I already bought knives from elsewhere.
After leaving Anzu’s store, we went to Morin-san’s store next.
Morin-san’s store also uses pots for frying potato chips, French fries, and other fried foods. Then I put down the small cooking utensils and other items.
[I’m saved. Yuna-chan, Tirumina-san. Thank you.] Morin
[If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to let me know.] Yuna
[Thank you. I’ll ask for you then.] Morin
After leaving the Bear’s Rest Shop, we went to Tirumina-san’s house. I took out the cooking utensils from the bear box to use at her house.
[The one I’ve been using for years was getting damaged, so now I can cook with peace of mind. Fina wouldn’t let me buy one because she said it would be a waste.] Tirumina
[Because we’ve been using it for a long time.] Fina
[But the old ones are hazardous because the handles are easily coming loose. There’s a limit to how much you can repair them.] Tirumina
It’s just like Fina to say that. She doesn’t buy things on a whim just because she has the money. I have to learn a little from her because I buy things as soon as I have money.
However, I’ve always bought what I want. Even if I look back on my actions before I came to another world up to now, this personality is unlikely to be easily corrected.
You have to spend money to make the economy go around. I kept telling myself that.
After delivering my purchases, I returned to the bear house alone.
Oh, by the way, I tried to give Tirumina-san the red horns of Big Boars as souvenirs, but she said she didn’t want such.
[We have no taste for such expensive horns. We’re more interested in things like food.] Tirumina
So I promised to bring her some Big Boar meat next time. Of course, it would be Fina’s job to dismantle it. Shuri also said she would do it, so I decided to ask the two of them to do it next time.
Now that I’m back at the bear house, I’d like to just dive into the bed and relax. But I’m worried about the bear gate I set up at Mumroot-san’s house though, so I come back to Mumrut’s house.
I checked the room, but there was no one in the room where the bear gate was placed. Well, of course, time would pass since I went to the royal capital, returned to Crimonia, dropped by the orphanage, the shops, and Fina’s house.
I retrieved the bear gate, then I moved to the room where Mumroot-san was and thanked him.
[Missy, you’re back?] Mumroot
[Thank you, Mumroot-san. That was a big help. But I didn’t expect you to have a magic circle ready for me.] Yuna
[I heard about it last night, so I prepared it.] Mumroot
Mumroot-san smiled a little.
But partly because of that, Rikka-san never doubted the words I said. She thought that she easily got to the royal capital thanks to Mumroot-san. Well, the mysterious powers of the elves were more convincing than the power of me dressed in a bear suit.
[Is Ruimin not here?] Yuna
The only person in the room was Mumroot-san.
[Ruimin-san went to hand out what she’d bought.] Mumroot
Oh, that’s right.
I think I’ll go see Ruimin later. But before that, I’ll ask Mumroot-san something first.
[Oh yeah, there’s something I’d like you to look at, Mumroot-san.] Yuna
I have a couple of round ores. I took out two bearmonites and showed them to Mumroot-san. He then received the bearmonites and checked them.
[Are these spirit stones?] Mumroot
It’s just as Rojina-san said.
