Bear-san, Gives Fina’s Present, Dezerto City Edition 2

“Oh, and what about Ristil-san and Norris? I want to introduce Mumroot-san to them too.” (Yuna)

Norris is Balima-san’s son-in-law, and Ristil-san is the descendant of Mumroot-san’s fellow adventurer.

“Actually, a baby boy was born safe and sound, and Ristil is resting in her room. Norris is staying with his wife. I’m sure he’ll come by later to say hello, so please do so at that time.” (Balima)

Oh, it looks like she safely gave birth.

“Congrats.” (Yuna)

“Thanks to you, Yuna-san, she was able to give birth to a healthy child safely.” (Balima)

“I didn’t do anything, though.” (Yuna)

There was nothing physically wrong with her.

“No, it was Yuna-san who quelled my wife’s anxiety. She has that kind of personality, so I think she was anxious. Now she doesn’t have to worry anymore, and she can rest with ease.” (Balima)

Certainly, it’s not good to be burdened with anxiety and worry during pregnancy. It can be enough to make you feel ill and dangerous for the baby in your belly.

It was a lot of work, but I’m glad we saved Dezerto city.

“Now then, I’ll have your rooms prepared, but do you have any preferences? One room per person would be fine as well.” (Balima)

Balima-san asked while slightly looking at Fina and Shuri.

Apparently, he’s being careful because little Shuri is there too.

“What will you do?” (Yuna)

I look at everyone

“Well, if possible, I’d like to be with Yuna-oneesan.” (Fina)

Fina thinks for a while and answers.

She’ll be staying in an unfamiliar place. So she may be anxious.

“Then Shuri would also be with me.” (Yuna)

“Yeah, I’ll sleep with Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan~” (Shuri)

“Ah, then I’d like to join you.” (Ruimin)

Even Ruimin raises her hand.

“In that case, I will be by myself.” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san looks lonely, but he also sleeps alone in the bear house. It’s definitely on purpose.

Thus, Mumroot-san was placed in a single room, and the four of us were placed in the same room.

“I will make the arrangements. So what are you going to do today?” (Balima)

It’s still around noon. We have enough time to go out.

“Then why don’t we take a walk in the city?” (Yuna)

“Yes.”

“Yay!”

“Yes.”

“That would be good.”

They all agree with the idea of going out.

“Then I will guide you.” (Karina)

Karina made the offer, and so I took advantage of her generosity.

We went outside the mansion.

“Etto, Fina-chan, and Shuri-chan, then Mumroot-sama and Ruimin-sama. Is there any place you want to go?” (Karina)

Karina asks everyone in front of the house.

“Etto, can I call you Karina-chan?” (Ruimin)

“Yes, please call me whatever you like. Ruimin-sama.” (Karina)

“I don’t want you to call me “Ruimin-sama,” because I am not the one who contributed to this city. My grandpa did, not me, so please just call me Ruimin.” (Ruimin)

I understand that feeling. I would never let anyone call me “Yuna-sama”.

“Etto, then, can I call you Ruimin-san?” (Karina)

“Un” (Ruimin)

“And then, Fina-chan, Shuri-chan, please call me however you like.” (Karina)

“Well then, Karina-chan.” (Fina)

“Karina-neechan!” (Shuri)

They decided what to call each other.

Mumroot-san joined in and said, “I also would like you to stop calling me Mumroot-sama”, but Karina refused flatly, saying with a serious look on her face, “I can’t do that”.

Well, he’s one of the people who made this city. Since he’s a companion of the ancestors, Karina would not be able to call him Grandpa Mumroot.

“So, where should we go?” (Karina)

Once again, Karina asked everyone.

“I want curry ingredients, so I guess that shop.” (Yuna)

I want to replenish my stock of spices.

It’s strange because sometimes I feel like eating curry.

“Me! I want to ride the bird.” (Shuri)

Shuri raises her hand.

“The bird at the lake, is it?” (Karina)

“Can we ride that bird too?” (Ruimin)

“You can.” (Karina)

“Then I want to ride too.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin also agreed with Shuri’s proposal.

“What about you, Fina?” (Yuna)

“I, I want to ride too.” (Fina)

She says, a little embarrassed.

Apparently, Fina also wanted to ride it.

“Is there anywhere you want to go, Mumroot-sama?” (Karina)

“I don’t mind anywhere as long as I can see the city” (Mumroot)

“Then, after a quick look at the city, let’s go for a bird ride.” (Karina)

We walked around the lake, which is the center.

Karina, walking next to us, was sneaking a sideways glance.

“You’ve been looking at us for a while. What’s wrong?” (Yuna)

“I wanted to ask you some questions. I wanted to know where Fina-chan and Shuri-chan came from. I also want to ask Mumroot-sama about our ancestors. But I also want to show you around the city, and I don’t know which I should do first.” (Karina)

Karina replied shyly. 𝚋𝚎ｄ𝚗ｏｖ𝚎𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖

She’s acting like a fan meeting an idol.

“For now, I guess we can walk around talking.” (Yuna)

“Yes. But still, I didn’t expect that Yuna-san’s Mumroot-sama was really Mumroot-sama, who built the city together with my ancestors.” (Karina)

That was over 100 years ago. Such coincidences happen. There is a saying that goes something like ‘that it’s a small world after all’.

“When I heard the name, I thought maybe it was. But I was surprised when I confirmed it. I was surprised when I learned it was true.” (Karina)

“Grandpa, you used to go to a lot of places, didn’t you?” (Ruimin)

He has been to the country of harmony, and I think he has been to many places that I don’t know about.

Maybe next time, I will take Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to places I don’t know about.

Or maybe Targui could take us to a strange land, like the Land of Harmony. It might be a good idea to go to Targui for the first time in a while and check it out.

Then we stroll through the city, guided by Karina.

“As always, everyone looks at Yuna-san. Etto, are Yuna-san’s clothes worn by the people of the royal capital as well?” (Karina)

“Not in the royal capital, but in the city of Crimonia where I live.” (Yuna)

“Really!?” (Karina)

I wasn’t not lying. The kids in the store were dressed as bears.

“Fina-chan. Is that true? I’ve never seen one in the royal capital.” (Ruimin)

Ruimin asked Fina.

“Etto, maybe. I think she’s talking about the girls who work at Yuna-oneesan’s store because they’re dressed as bears.” (Fina)

Fina quickly exposed it.

“Yuna-san, you have a store?” (Karina)

“Well, it’s just happened. Mostly, I leave it to Fina’s mother, and I don’t do anything.” (Yuna)

I feel like I have been getting fewer consultations from Tirumina-san lately. When we had just set up the store, she consulted me a lot, but lately, things seem to be going well, and there are no problems, so she doesn’t consult me much.

It’s a good thing. But then again, it kind of makes me feel lonely.

“Fina-chan. Was it difficult to get here?” (Karina)

“Eh.” (Fina)

Fina was puzzled by the sudden question.

“I think it was a long way from the capital. And I think it was hard going through the desert.” (Karina)

Fina looked at me, then looked down and thought a little more.

“Etto, yes. It was challenging. But Yuna-oneechan’s bears were there, so it was fine to move. The desert was a bit hot though…” (Fina)

Fina answers Karina’s question while mixing a bit of a lie.

Uu~ I’m sorry. I made Fina lie.

But I think it would have been nice to let them experience the desert for a little while. It’s hard to tell about the desert when you don’t know it, and it’s hard to tell a lie either.

“Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan? I would like to ride Swaying Bear-chan and Hugging Bear-chan to various places. I envy you guys.” (Karina)

“I understand that feeling. Until I met Yuna-oneesan, I didn’t know that the world was so big. I didn’t think I could come to such a distant place. Knowing that the world is wide, she took me to various places. That’s why I’m grateful to Yuna-oneesan.” (Fina)

“Yuna-oneechan helped our mother and took us to various places.” (Shuri)

“Me too, I would not have come this far if it weren’t for Yuna-san. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have thought of coming, besides I couldn’t come here on my own. So I am grateful to her, too.” (Ruimin)

“That’s right. You saved the village and brought me here. You have my thanks.” (Mumroot)

Even Shuri, Ruimin, and Mumroot-san started saying such things at Fina’s words.

I don’t know. But I’m getting embarrassed listening to this. This isn’t some kind of shame play, is it?

After that, Karina asked Fina and Shuri for stories about Crimonia.

“So, Mumroot-sama, how are you liking the cityscape so far?” (Karina)

“It’s a beautiful city. And there are a lot of people. Back then, there were very few.” (Mumroot)

Mumroot-san looked in the distance as if to bring back memories.

“Mumroot-san, did you stay in the city for a long time?” (Yuna)

“It was a long time ago, I don’t remember for sure, but I might have stayed here for a year or so. When people started to gather at the lake, those two said they would take care of the rest.” (Mumroot)

“Is that so?” (Yuna)

I didn’t check, but it felt like he never came back here after that.

“Lady Karina seems to have a little resemblance to Cyan though.” (Mumroot)

“Really?” (Karina)

“That reddish hair color is probably inherited from Cyan too.” (Mumroot)

Karina touches her hair.

“Your reddish hair reminds me of him. I’m glad to see his bloodline was preserved. Thank you, Lady Karina.” (Mumroot)

“No, that kind of thing…” (Karina)

He was happy to see the face of his friend even just a little.

“By the way, about Balima-san’s son-in-law…” (Yuna)

I explained it to him.

At first, I misunderstood, too.
