Chapter 660

The Bear Goes to the Adventurer's Guild

Published: 12 November 2023

 

Sanya-san said she still had work to do, so she went back.

 

"Then, shall we go home too?" (Yuna)

 

There was no reason for us to stay here either, so on our way home, Ellelaura-san took us by carriage to the bear house.

The carriage moved forward while rocking.

Fina, Tirumina-san, and Shuri were sitting on the three-seater chair, meanwhile Ellelaura-san, Shia, and I were sitting on the seat across.

Ellelaura-san spoke to us.

 

"I'm having a party to thank Fina-chan for her hard work that I talked about yesterday, but I wonder if tomorrow will be okay." (Ellelaura)

"Tomorrow?" (Fina)

 

Fina was a little surprised.

It was said it would happen at a later date, and we hadn't set a date in particular, but it happened all of a sudden.

 

"Fina-chan and the others are going back to Crimonia, right?" (Ellelaura)

 

Now that the dismantling event was over, we would be heading home.

 

"That's right. My husband is waiting too, so I don't want to be home too late." (Tirumina)

 

Tirumina-san muttered to herself in response to Ellelaura-san's words.

It would be pitiful to leave Gentz-san alone forever.

 

"Hehe, so let's do it tomorrow. I'll take care of the preparations. I'll take you home around evening, so make sure you're hungry." (Ellelaura)

 

There was no reason to refuse, and Fina agreed that it was not a celebration but a thank you party, so she didn't refuse.

Tomorrow night, we would have a party to thank Fina for her hard work.

As we were talking about today, a carriage stopped in front of the bear house.

 

"Thank you, Ellelaura-san." (Yuna)

"See you tomorrow then." (Ellelaura)

 

The carriage carrying Ellelaura-san and Shia left, and after seeing off the carriage, we entered the bear house.

Today too, Tirumina-san cooked a meal, and I relaxed until the evening.

 

The next day, I came to the adventurer's guild to receive Fina's request fee and the money from the monsters dismantled at the event.

The adventurer's guild was crowded as usual. Tirumina-san was walking while holding Shuri's hand so that she wouldn't let go of Shuri, who was looking around her.

At first, I was planning to come with just Fina and I, but Tirumina-san acting as our guardian, asked if we should go together. Then, Fina said, "I want her to come," so she decided to go with me.

Among the multiple reception desks, we headed to one that was vacant.

When we arrived in front of the reception desk, the receptionist looked at us a little surprised.

Moreover, she was surprised not when she saw me, but when she saw Fina.

 

"Oh, Fina-chan?" (Eliza)

"Um, Eliza-san!?" (Fina)

 

Fina said the receptionist's name and remembered it.

Eliza-san participated in the demolition event and made it to the finals. I had heard that while working as a receptionist at the adventurer's guild, she also worked as a dismantling worker, but I never expected to meet her.

 

"It's been two days. Is today about the reward for the dismantling event the other day?" (Eliza)

"Yes. Sanya-san asked me to come." (Fina)

"Actually, I'm supposed to give you the dismantling fee for the monsters you dismantled at the event here. Fina-chan...erm, Yuna-san, right?" (Eliza)

 

Eliza-san looked at me and asked for confirmation.

 

"Yes, I am." (Yuna)

"When the two of you come to guildmaster, I have been asked to guide you all to her room." (Eliza)

"What is it?" (Yuna)

"I didn't hear any details, but she said she wanted to hand over the reward herself." (Eliza)

 

Eliza-san stood up and led us to the guildmaster's room.

 

"But I didn't think that Fina-chan knew Yuna-san." (Eliza)

 

Eliza-san, who was walking a little ahead of me, spoke to me.

 

"Do you know me?" (Yuna)

"I think all the receptionists who work at this guild know. There was an order from guildmaster to treat a girl dressed as a bear without being disrespectful, so at least we know your costume and name." (Eliza)

 

Saying that, she looked at my appearance.

 

"Also, I have seen Yuna-san before." (Eliza)

 

Eliza-san was a receptionist. She's been to the Adventurer's Guild several times, so it wouldn't be strange for her to see me there.

 

"Then, did you also talk about Fina at that time?" (Yuna)

"I'm sorry. I remember being with a little girl, but Yuna-san's appearance was so shocking that I don't remember Fina-chan." (Eliza)

 

If there was a Yuru-chara and one other person, it would be the same as remembering the Yuru-chara but not the other one.

 

"I saw the two of you together at the venue." (Eliza)

 

Ah, Fina kept coming back to us after each battle. It wouldn't be strange if Eliza-san, who was also attending the same event, saw her there.

While we were talking about this, we arrived in front of Guildmaster's room.

Eliza-san knocked on the door and told us that she had brought us there. Immediately, she heard a reply from inside the room.

 

"Please come in." (Sanya)

 

We entered the room.

Sanya-san was working, sitting in a chair by the window at the far end.

Eliza-san bowed her head and went back to work.

Fina seemed to want to talk, but Eliza-san had to work so she couldn't help it.

 

"I've been waiting. Please sit down." (Sanya)

 

The room had a small table and chairs. We sat on that chair.

 

"Fina-chan, I would like to thank you again. Thank you very much for this time." (Sanya)

"No. Well, I'm glad I was able to participate too. I learned a lot." (Fina)

"Hehe, I'm glad to hear you say that." (Sanya)

 

Fina looked a little embarrassed after being thanked.

Sanya-san stood up and came to Fina holding a small cloth bag.

 

"This request fee and the money from the monster that Fina-chan dismantled." (Sanya)

"Thank you very much" (Fina)

 

Fina happily accepted the small cloth bag.

 

"Please check inside and if there are no problems, please sign." (Sanya)

 

Sanya-san placed a piece of paper in front of Fina.

 

"Okay" (Fina)

 

Fina replied and opened the cloth bag. When she did, she looked surprised.

 

"This much?" (Fina)

 

When Fina was surprised, Tirumina-san who was next to her also looked into the cloth bag to check.

 

"There really are a lot." (Tirumina)

"This time, it was all thanks to Fina-chan, so I gave her a little more. Also, the monster that Fina-chan dismantled was beautiful, so I was able to get it at a high price." (Sanya)

 

If the dismantling was dirty, the transaction price would go down. It was obvious that beautiful wolf fur was traded for a higher price than tattered one.

 

"But this much." (Fina)

"It's a fair reward. Fina-chan did that much work. So please accept it." (Sanya)

 

Fina looked at her mother, Tirumina-san. Tirimina-san gave a small nod and said, "Take it." Fina noded slightly at those words.

 

"Thank you very much" (Fina)

 

Fina thanked Sanya-san, checked the amount, and signed the paper as there seemed to be no problem.

 

"And next, let's talk about Yuna-chan." (Sanya)

"As I said yesterday, I'm not in a particular hurry, so it's okay." (Yuna)

"It's okay. I've prepared it." (Sanya)

"Already? It's only been yesterday?" (Yuna)

"Yes, first, would you like to go to the storage room? Also, I'm sorry, but Tirumina-san and the others, please wait here. I will bring tea and sweets." (Sanya)

 

When Sanya-san touched the magic stone on the desk, there was a knock on the door of the room, and a guild staff entered.

 

"Tea and sweets for the three of us, please." (Sanya)

"Okay" (Guild staff)

 

The guild staff replied and left the room.

 

"Then let's go." (Sanya)

 

Leaving Fina and the others behind, Sanya-san and I arrived at the underground warehouse where we handed over the monster last time. Sanya-san then moved to a sturdy-looking door in the underground storage room and used the key to open it.

 

"Yuna-chan, please wait there. This is a room that only authorized people can enter." (Sanya)

 

Saying that, she entered the room. The moment Sanya-san entered the room, I saw a door that looked like a large safe inside the room.

Are you storing something important?

Then, Sanya-san entered the room and came out the door after about a minute or two.

 

"Thank you for waiting." (Sanya)

 

She had an item bag on her hand.

 

"First of all, please confirm the dismantled parts of the monster I promised." (Sanya)

 

When Sanya-san said that, she took out the monster material I provided this time from the item bag. Parts of a giant scorpion or cockatrice.

According to Sanya, all of them seemed to have value.

Even Jade-san and the others were happy with the Scorpion shell. Maybe the material for the cockatrice would depend on the future.

 

"Also, this is a magic stone." (Sanya)

 

The giant Scorpion's magic stone was colorless and transparent, and the Cockatrice's was a greenish-colored magic stone.

In terms of size, the giant scorpion was bigger, and the cockatrice was a little smaller.

After checking, I put it away in the bear box.

 

"Also, it’s money, but it’s a lot of money so be careful." (Sanya)

 

She arranged the gold coins on a nearby desk and handed me a piece of paper with the transaction amount for the material written on it.

To put it bluntly, I didn't know the market price, so I trusted Sanya-san and after confirming that the amount written on the paper was the same as the amount given to me, I signed the paper and put the gold coins into the bear box.

 

"But it's only been yesterday, you're well prepared." (Yuna)

"I had them pick up some of the materials. So I received the money in a lump sum. The rest came from the reserve funds of the Adventurer's Guild and the Commercial Guild." (Sanya)

 

For me, it was a relief that I didn't have to come back so many times.

 

"So, I feel bad for Yuna-chan, but I would like you to meet the person who took over the materials." (Sanya)

"Eh, why? It's too troublesome, so don't do it." (Yuna)

 

In that case, the money could be paid at a later date.

 

"I understand how you feel, but since the person I'm dealing with is His Majesty the King, I can't refuse." (Sanya)

"His Majesty the King?" (Yuna)

"His Majesty the King knew about Scorpion, right?" (Sanya)

"Yeah, he know because I showed it to him." (Yuna)

 

After completing the desert request, when I reported to the king, I showed him the Scorpion.

 

"Then, His Majesty the King heard about this matter." (Sanya)

 

He wanted to see me.

Ugh, that was troublesome.

But if I didn't go, there would be problems in the future.

I sometimes met Lady Flora or Tilia.

There was no doubt that the king would appear at that time.

I let out a sigh.

 

"I understand. I'll come see him." (Yuna)

"Yuna-chan. Thank you." (Sanya)

 

Sanya-san looked relieved.

Well, it shouldn't be something to get angry about, so it should be fine.
