427 Bear-san, Reunites With A Knight

[By the way, Yuna-san. You really always come to the capital casually, don’t you?] Marcus

[Well, with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, it’s easy to come here.] Yuna

Yes, the usual lie.

I’ve lied so many times that the words naturally flow out of me.

Well, I can’t help it, since my existence was also a lie.

[I wish I had Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan so I could easily go back and forth to Crimonia. Then I could even go to the sea.] Shia

[You’ll have to settle for the stuffed animals.] Yuna

I stroked the head of the stuffed animal that Shia was holding in her arms.

[I can’t stand on it, much more ride on it.] Shia

Shia laughed.

[But I had fun at the beach. I want to go again.] Shia

[Yeah, let’s go again next time.] Yuna

[It’s a promise.] Shia

While Shia and I were talking happily, Marcus looked a little envious and opened his mouth.

[I wish I was there too.] Marcus

[Fufu. It was so much fun. Riding on Yuna-san’s bear golem, all of us got there pretty quick. The house we stayed at was a huge bear house and the playground had bear slides. We even got on boats and caught some fish.] Shia

Shia speaks happily of her trip to the sea.

I also remembered that there was an island called Targui, and the small incident happened on the said island.

[Invite me too.] Marcus

[I can’t invite Marcus to my home. Father will misunderstand it.] Shia

Certainly, if she brought a guy home to her parent’s house, Cliff might go crazy.

[Well, then, if Timor and Cataleya are with us, that would be fine, right?] Marcus

I wonder if it’s okay if they’re just friends from school?

I don’t know where the aristocracy draws the line in this area though.

[But at that time, we had to leave right away, so I didn’t have time to contact everyone.] Shia

It was true that Shia came the day before we left for the beach. If she had been even a day late, she would have missed the bear bus.

If she’s a couple of days late, then we’ll be halfway done, and if even later than that, it’ll be time to come home.

[Next year, you should invite everyone.] Marcus

[If I remember it.] Yuna

We walked up to the indoor training area, talking about our trip to the sea.

=====

We arrived at a big building. The gate was also huge. I didn’t know there was such a large indoor training hall inside the castle.

[We’ll wait for Tilia to get here, right?] Yuna

I want to hurry it up. I have to get to Flora-sama before it’s too late.

[But thanks to Lady Tyria, I’m glad we were able to borrow this place.] Marcus

[No one else will see Marcus get beaten to a pulp here.] Shia

[If anyone laughs at me after watching Yuna-san’s match, I would doubt his eyes.] Marcus

[Well, that’s right. But if you don’t do your best to some extent, you can’t bring out Yuna-san’s ability.] Shia

[I’ll do my best.] Marcus

Marcus casually puts his hand on the door, then the door opens.

[Hey, it’s open.] Marcus

Marcus opened the door completely and tried to get inside.

[Hey, you can’t just walk in there without permission!] Shia

[Perhaps Tilia-sama could have opened it ahead of us.] Marcus

I don’t know where the key is, but if Tilia runs ahead and left Flora-sama to Anju-san, it may be possible she’ll arrive here first.

As we entered the training grounds with Marcus in the lead, I saw a single knight wielding a sword. Of course, there was no sign of Tilia anywhere.

[Tilia-sama is not here. What are we going to do?] Shia

Shia asks while looking at the training grounds.

In the training area, a lone man is swinging his sword repeatedly.

Now, where have I seen that guy before?

It’s vaguely stuck in a corner of my memory, but I can’t remember. We may have passed by each other at some point.

[What’s wrong Yuna-san?] Shia

[No, I have a strange feeling of seeing that knight somewhere before, I just can’t remember. Maybe we passed each other somewhere in the castle, I dunno.] Yuna

[By that knight, you mean Vice-Captain Figo?] Marcus

[Marcus, do you know him?] Yuna

[Yeah, he’s the second-in-command of the knights.] Marcus

Marcus’ father is a knight, and Marcus himself is aiming to become a knight. If that’s the case, it’s not surprising that he knows the face of the vice-captain of the knights.

[……Figo. Oh, that guy.] Shia

Shia seems to remember something upon hearing Marcus’ words.

But I can’t recall anything.

[It’s the knight who fought you, Yuna-san, before your match with Rutum-sama.] Shia

Now that she explained it so well, I remember now.

[Ah, at that time.] Yuna

That’s right. I remembered that I had a match with a knight before that old man who was making a ruckus.

[By the way, Yuna-san, you had a match with Figo-san as well, didn’t you?] Marcus

Marcus seemed to know about that, too.

Well, if he listened to what his friend told him back then, he should know who I had a match with.

=====

As we were talking, the man Marcus called Figo looked at us.

[You guys, what are you doing here !?] Figo

[Excuse us. We’re about to have a practice here too.] Marcus

[You’re students, aren’t you? This is not a place for students.] Figo

[No, we have permission from Tilia-sama.] Marcus

[Tilia-sama?] Figo

[Yes. we’re going to practice a little bit somewhere, but then Tilia-sama said we could use the training grounds here. She’s coming over right now, so you can check with her to confirm.] Marcus
